    All I can say is there are so many variables as to why TTC can be challenging, and sometimes it can take a while to rule any of them out, and sometimes it just takes time full stop.
    Unfortunately there is no easy way to handle the wanting except as Sarah said, to try and focus on life as well and remember not to put anything on hold while you wait for the bub to come along. Thats the only advice I am prepared to share with regards to trying to handle the waiting part
    Good luck with GP.

    I feel a bit hypocritical posting here as I managed to get a bfp in my first month...so I apologise for getting on a soap box...I just wanted to tell you a story I had heard that MIGHT solve your problem.


    Have you been using an OPK?

    I was talking to a friend of ours when I started trying, and she was saying that they'd been doing basically exactly what you have been doing (BD every 2 days for 2 weeks basically between day 10 and day 24), then she got a bulk pack of the pee on a stick style OPK and it turned out that they would never conceive the way they were going because she actually O'd on day 6....so all the BD in that other 2 week block would make no difference.

    The next month (after their new O date discovery) they BD around the RIGHT time...and fall pregnant straight away.



    oh and again, sorry about the soap box since I'm not in that position, but I would also feel awful if I'd been trying for over 12 months, and someone who had only been trying for 6 managed to get into a specialist before me...it would be devastating. Again, I apologise for sounding all righteous and so on, as I am one of the lucky ones...

    Just thought my little tale could help you out...you can buy OPK on ebay that have 20 OP sticks and 5 PG tests...that way you can test for O nearly every day (except when you have AF...)

    Good luck everyone!!!
