Conception Frustrations?
If you're trying to conceive and it's taking longer than you had hoped, what frustrations are you running into? Is it that just about everyone around you seems to be pregnant? Or, something someone said? Or, is you-know-who (your mom, his mom...) pressuring you or asking when way too often? Does it sometimes feel like TTC is more like Trying to Cope?

Depo Dilemma

This hits right to home for me. I got pregnant for my now 4 year old daughter while on the pill 11 days before my wedding. I thought I was late because of the stress of the wedding so I took a fresh pack of pads on my honeymoon. Needless to say I didn?t need them for almost a year from then. After having my daughter I discussed with my OB/Gyn other birth control options since I was not real comfortable with trusting the pill again. I went on Depo and loved it.
Then we decided that we wanted to have a second baby and my last shot was November 2005 so in theory but soooo not likely I could have gotten pregnant Feb 2006. After the return of regular periods in May-June 2006, and I?ve been regular (+/- 1 day) ever since, I thought ok here comes the baby. My hopes got so high and I would pregnancy test at being that 1 day late only to have it come up negative and then start my period later that day.
I know that it can take up to a year for fertility to return with Depo, but I know 3 people personally who it didn?t. 1 got pregnant 7 months after her last shot, another 5 months, and the most frustrating for me is 1 who had her last shot 1 month after mine and we were talking about how fun it would be for us to be pregnant together and she is due next month.
I just want to have a baby and my daughter has been saying that she wants a baby brother and a baby sister. It just makes me want to cry some times when you see these people that shouldn?t have kids and they have 4 or 5 and just want to give my daughter the sibling she so wants so our family can be complete.
