We've not been trying long but I'm getting frustrated and moody. Apart from my husband I've no-one to talk to because we've decided to keep it a secret until we've actually got the good news to tell people. We're in the middle of moving house as well and I can't keep my moind on it as all. Getting pregnent is all I can think about and as supportive as he is my husband is getting fed with me - I'M getting fed up with me! And don't tell me try to relax and think about something else - it's impossible!
Any advice to keep me from biting his poor head off every five minutes?

Dear Alexandra, its hard not to let trying for a baby take over your life. I feel so envious of all lose women who fall pregnant at the first attempt - they are so lucky.

It took me 10 months of trying to conceive my first child. I'm on the fifth month of trying now for my second. I find its an emotional rollercoaster and very frustrating, not to mention the dissappointments and sadness that goes with it.

Unfortunately, it seems to me like the more you want a baby the less likely it is to happen - it seems so ironic. I think you can try too hard as well. I'm afraid you won't like my advice (I don't like it either!) but I think you really need to distract yourself from thinking about pregnancy. Obviously, still "try" at the right time for a baby, but then busy yourself after. Counting down the days to your period is the worse thing you can do (although I'm guilty of that too!!!!). While I was trying for my first baby, the only month I managed to forget about it completely (the 10th month of trying), was the month it finally worked. Best of luck. Take care. Best wishes, Laylaa.
