This feels impossible

My husband (M26) I (F26) have been TTC since October. I have always had very regular and normal periods. I didn’t think conceiving would be so difficult, but it has been.

We moved to our current area about a year ago and today was my long awaited first appointment with my new gyno. I told her that we’d been trying since October and she said if I haven’t conceived by August we will need to do some tests.

I am pretty frustrated. A layer to this, is that my husband doesn’t seem to understand how much sex we have to have to conceive. He works a very physically demanding job, and is usually too tired to do anything Mon-Thurs. We only seem to get “it” in on Fridays and Sundays. I have tried to explain the need to do it more to him, and he always agrees in the moment, but no change.

As the tag says, this is just a rant. I love my husband so so much and empathize. But I am annoyed today.

I realize that people unfortunately go through years of this, and for that I also empathize and don’t minimize that.

I guess what I’m saying is that I am completely shocked that at 26, with a very regular and healthy cycle, that it didn’t work within the last six months. I also just never expected to be 26 and have such little sex throughout the week. Sorry.

Thanks for reading if you did.

ETA: from the bottom of my heart, I really appreciate the empathy and kind words you all have shared. I love hearing your stories too. This is hard to talk about, and it feels great to not feel so alone.
