Hi I'm 23 years old. My husband and I are trying to conceive our first. Honestly, we have only been trying hard for about two months. I had heard about how hard it is. I've expected it to take longer than that amount of time we've been trying. So why as the day Aunt Flo is suppo to arrive do i still feel so many complicated emotions. My husband has been a dream. He understands. It's like every time we try, every time there's talk around me about babies or pregnancy, or when it's the week of Aunt Flo, I feel empty where a baby would be. I feel phantom symptoms. How do woman survive this for so long? I know that there are woman out there God bless them, who really struggle. So I guess I'm just getting all this off my chest as there's no one I can really talk to about these feelings that understands. What do some of you do to help you cope with this process? Asking for tips in what could be a long process, although I hope not. Also just looking for understanding, I'd be more than happy to hear your stories whether it's in the process or not. Thanks!
