    I can. 13 months of ttc & a mc in january can really pull you down if you let it. I have to change my way of thinking and be positive about it by telling myself, that will be DH & I. Reguardless we will be parents even if we don't have biological children because we will adopt. Easier said than done sometimes. Remember your not alone hon.

    @BrentLee88: Yeah, it sucks. How long have you been trying?

    For me, it hurts when friends on FB get pregnant before me and they got married way after me. Everytime a friend gets engaged or married, I think I can get pregnant before they do. Of course, it doesn't happen. I'm suffering from infertility so it sucks.

    @bluestriped bee: the facebook thing, me too!

    It is hard. I just want all of that so bad and it's hard to be patient. You feel left out and left behind.

    Definitely, especially if I'm at a mall and there are nothing but pregnant ladies walking around!

    I've really been working on having a positive outlook this month. Trying to think positively, and that it CAN and WILL happen for us. Also trying to chill out with all the worrying/analyzing. The Circle + Bloom meditations have helped too!

    Bluestriped Bee and BB: yeah it does suck we been trying for 2 months now "i know isn't very long" , but still haven't had luck though, i am hoping i am this time around but we should see, it is very hard to be patient, i totally agree with the friends it gets me so upset when i see i have to even log out and go get it off my mind, how long have u been trying? and don't get down it can happen to u probably just taking all of us longer then we expected that's all.

    @BrentLee88: I have been TTC since Nov of 2010. I've taken some breaks from TTC and so my total cycle count is 11. Way too long and still not pregnant after two IUIs.

    @BrentLee88: You are still early in the TTC process, I don't know what the success rate is but I hear most women take about 6 months to get pregnant. Hoping you don't have to wait as long as me.

    @BrentLee88: I've been trying since Dec 2011, and have had one miscarriage (march 2012) like you mentioned, a good thing to keep in mind is that we don't know the story of others. Maybe they were trying for a very long time, had to go through treatments, etc.

    What gets me even more down is when I see immature people that clearly are NOT ready to be parents get pregnant by accident. I know that sounds a bit judgmental but that really gets to me a lot.

    Yep. the hardest thing for me was this weekend bc we went to a st patrick drinking event where I was suppose to be pregnant and not drinking (had miscarriage a couple of weeks ago), and I swear to God I must have counted 10 pregnant women rocking there water bottles.

    Chibee: i totally agree with u!, makes me so made that these immature people can have children and the most responsible people take forever to have them! it just isn't far! and they don't really appreciated the gift they have of having children, its a blessing. Runnerd i am so very sorry for your loss and i wish u the best of luck on TTC! had to be difficult to go through especially going to that party, god bless ya! i couldn't have done it.

    @BrentLee88: it's hard. Hang in there! One thing that I always told myself is that their success doesn't mean my failure. We were lucky to get pregnant our 3rd month of trying, but we lost our daughter at 20 weeks. In about a week, it will be one year. We are currently 9 wks pregnant. I take each day as a gift and remember that I don't know the story of everyone who is pregnant. I don't know if they struggled or if they were trying. I think about the episode of SATC where Charlotte learns to tune everyone out. I try to tune everyone out and put on horse blinders not to see them.

    @BrentLee88: I've been annoyed with why my body doesn't seem I'm fit for pregnancy. I'm healthy, no major medical issues, I eat pretty healthy but I can be a little stressed at work and life. But yet people on illegal drugs can get pregnant! Come on! Why can't it be me?!?!? Being on drugs is probably more stressful on the body than what issues I have to deal with. Just not fair!!

    BlueStriped Bee:Yeah i dont really understand how people on drugs can carry children compared to the normal healthy female! it isnt far at all!, that has to be very tough to go through! it would be hard everyday to even focus. So Sorry :(, maybe God made it so that some of us cant conceive to adopt?, maybe there is all ready a child out there that needs you, u just don't know yet? even though going through adoption has to be a very hard process! but i am sure you could do it! i know its not like having your own blood in your child, but after all in the end it will be your child everyday!

    When my best friend got pregnant four years ago, I remember her saying they never wanted to talk about trying around others because you never know what other people are going through. Now, I understand that so much more. We are just beginning this journey, but already I need to work on being happy for others without it making me sad and upset. I just keep trying to breathe and relax and stay within myself...but it is still hard.

    Lovelyplum:so very true i feel the same way!, i am working on being happy for others as well and i know someday we will be parents just takes time that's all been trying to stay positive though, so hard not to think about all the time though! especially around my job because i am a full time nanny makes it 10 times harder! but being around kids gives me faith and hope! that sooner or later it will be my children i am chasing after
