Hi all,

This is probably more of a vent than anything else, but maybe im not alone here!

I got preg in Nov 06 when i was on the pill, obviously unplanned, but DH and i were over the moon. In Jan i miscarried and had the D&C etc. We decided that even tho we hadnt planned to have kids just yet, we had the bug, and have been anxious to conceive ever since! The problem we have had, aside from DH being away a lot with the army this year, is my cycle.

I've been charting temps, and because this was driving me crazy and really not getting me anywhere, we tried Maybe Baby. Since my D&C my cycle has ranged from 15 days (first cycle after D&C) to 55 days. I seem to have settled for now at about 47 days. This is so so frustrating because it is like we have so many less opportunities to conceive, and DH always seems to be away when im ovulating according to Maybe Baby. He leaves for the middle east with the army next month and we really wanted to be pregnant before he left but i've all but lost hope now.

I keep wondering if there is anything i can do to make my body do what i want, and ovulate when he's home, as irrational as that is!!! To make it worse, DH has 3 sisters, 2 are pregnant at the moment, and the other already has 2 kids. DH is the second oldest, and being the only boy we keep getting back handed comments from the family about being the only ones without kids. They know what we've been thru and that we are trying and i HATE those questions and the assumption there is something wrong with us because we havent fallen pregnant just by deciding we want to, as seems to happen with everyone around us...

Anyway, thats enough of a novel about my TTC issues, as i said, i know im not the only one out there going thru this, still drives me crazy!!! Oh for a 28 day cycle....!
