Tell your in-laws to ask God if they want to know when you are having a baby or say from your mouth to God's ears.  That's all they need.  I don't understand how they think you could possibly know exactly when it's going to happen for you.  Only God knows seriously.

Have you tried vitamins?? My period was irregular my husband and I thought I couldn't get pregnant and it hurt him badly so I researched that taking vitamin b6 would help and I took that for about a month and got pregnant I'm now 35 weeks with a healthy boy so try vitamins and try maybe losing weight or changing your diet a little I gave up a lot of foods and I think it helped I lost 45 pounds total and have only gained 15 lbs back while pregnant.

I know how you feel. My ex husband and I tried for 10 years and got prego once on fertility meds (I have pcos). It honestly happens when you least expect it. I didn't think it was ever going to happen and I just got confirmation last Friday that I'm pregnant and due Sept 20. Don't give up, but pray and give it to God. He knows when the time is right.

My fiancé tried for a year with no luck. I started a bunch of herbs to make my boobs bigger and I got pregnant the next month. Apparently those herbs increase fertility.

since then I get knocked from sitting next to my fiancé.  Seriously, we were having problems and werent having sex much, but i still got pregnant twice out 6 times having sex in a 6 mo time frame! Unfortunately, my pregnancies aren't always successful. Maybe this one. This one was accident. I was using apple cider vinegar and molasses  to try to get rid of an ovarian cyst and decided to pop some vitex I had laying around. One mess up doing the rhythm method and BAM! We want another one, but weren't quite to try again.

I was having trouble too then I changed my diet, started regularly at the gym & we stopped trying. I decided that I love him more than life itself & was going to enjoy every moment together baby or not. I changed Dr.s for a fresh start and when I went in for my first appointment she said "did you know your pregnant? " Turns out I was 13 weeks and missed my first trimester. Before all of that like you I was jealous, baby showers, first birthdays would upset me. Enjoy your man and the time you share before you know it that alone time will be limited ;) Good Luck

It took my ex husband and I 3 years to get pregnant! In that time I had everyone around me pregnant! I know the feeling all to well! We did the whole testing things with the doctors and I was on pills to help me ovulate and he got checked as well.. after some time we decided to just let it be and when it happened it would happen. But anyways to make a long story short I was at the store and seen that there were ovulation monitors that show you exactly when you ovulate. I am not talking about just the sticks but its an actual monitor. We got pregnant a month later after using it. It was around 200.00 for the monitor and 50 for the sticks  but I now have a beautiful 4  year daughter!!

thank you all for your kind words. its just so hard to stay positive all the time. and it gets harder when the whole family is together im always hearing when are you having a baby or why havent you had one yet. i dont feel like i have to tell them whats going on but im feeling so much pressure from the extended family and my inlaws. and my inlaws know whats going on and still everytime hubby speaks to them and say im sick the first thing that comes out of thier mouths is she pregarnt. arghhh

How old are you? Are you getting tested by a regular OB or a Reproductive Endocrinologist? If 35 or older, I recommend going to an RE immediately if you aren't already seeing one.
