Can't conceive after 6 months. Help!

My partner and I have been TTC for six months now.  The first three months we just didn’t use birth control and had fun (but frequent fun).  After three months of getting my period, I started to do a little research and get a little obsessed with the whole TTC thing.  I am 36 and I learned that egg quality drastically diminishes after 35.  I started to panic, thinking that maybe my eggs are no good, maybe I can’t actually conceive.  (we know he can as he had a pregnancy in a previous marriage which unfortunately miscarried).  I started charting my fertility and it is now 6 months of trying and nothing.   I don’t’ know how not to stress out about it but it’s getting worse every month when I get my period and am so disappointed.  My partner and I want a baby together SO badly and I feel like my time is up.  I never thought I would feel this way, but I don’t feel like a woman if I can’t give him a child!  How can I relax about this so that our chances of conception improve?

Hi

I know that when I was trying (and trying and trying and trying...) every period seemed like a little miscarriage, and the stress started taking a toll on the relationship too, because who wants to "perform" under so much pressure. The problem was, whenever someone told me to relax, I wanted to throw them out of the window, so that didn't help.

I don't know what your program covers, but I would consult a specialist. Maybe there's a simple solution, maybe you should get some tests to see where and if there is a problem. Though 6 months is not considered "long" by doctors (though it seems an eternity to you...), you're at an age where you need this to happen.

Good luck!

(I tried for 5 years, and had several miscarriages too, and finally managed to carry full term and I now have a baby boy)

Stress can affect your fertility. Try to do things that can help you conceive and relax at the same time. I advice fertility yoga. Yoga for fertility helps you release stress and connect mind and body to increase conception. It has worked for me and other couples.
