I got married 2 years ago and my husband and I are ready to have a baby. It also always been my dream to be a mother so I was very excited when we made the decision to start trying. We have been trying for 6 months now and still nothing. I am getting very discouraged. Its beginnining to comsume my life, its ALL I can think about ALL the time. Everywhere I look there is a baby or someone pregnant. I know God is in control and he has a plan for my life but I am having trouble just being content and letting things happen. Does anyone have any advice with a similiar experience or words of encouragment? I could really use it.

well you have to let god take the reign on this one....back when i was single and raising my sons....i prayed to god about sending me a husband. i also wanted a daughter.....so i said lord when i get my husband i know in my heart you will bless me w/a daughter...but it had to be in his time and not mine....well in less then a year i had a husband......and yes we did have our daughter......but that was back when i as w/my 2nd husband.....hes not in our lives no more.......

Hi Love2Teach, i agree with artistic_dreams, you do have to leave it to God, it's already planned out by him. I can imagine it's frustrating but one reason i know for being unable to conceive is stress. I pray all the best for you and your husband

It helps while waiting to start believing that this baby is also waiting for the right time to be born to you.

In the meantime, enjoy those moments of fun and love you now have from your husband. And maybe use the alone time you might have to study and meditate. Or begin a journal of thoughts you want someday to share with your child.

You might consider getting some medical guidance. There's male infertility (low sperm count), or other issues that may be interfering with the process? Cervical fluid produced by the female is crucial in sperm transport and survival, timing intercourse for the days of optimal cervical fluid will boost your chances of conception. It is not advisable for men with low sperm counts to have frequent intercourse when trying to conceive, as this could lower sperm numbers further. Having intercourse every second or third day may be a better option. Good luck

I did it the easy way - got married at 59 and married into a Big Family - my husband's daughter and her husband have three girls and two boys (twins) on the way. Walla.... instant Big Family to love....
