thats totally normal your just broody and frustated. maybe attending a baby shower would do you good. feel the nice and exciting side of it instead of the pressure i want it now side. i was like you and tried for almost a year and a half to have my 2nd kid. i dwelled on it too much and it didnt happen. when i forgot about it it did. i ate slept and breathed to be pregnant. i cried every month my period came. id stand in shops looking at baby clothes and wasn't even pregnant. honestly put it outta your mind. do a bit of babysitting for a friend decorate eat healthy find something else to focus on. it will happen and il congratulate u now for when it does..............

Thank you soo much. I think alot of it is I am home al the time I dont have a job really and I am always on fb and everytime a baby pic is posted from a friend or family member I tend to get upset cus its not me. I feel awful sometimes cus I tend to not go to baby showers cus being there and seeing the happiness with a baby on the way just gets me soo down. I hate that I am like that

first and foremost u really need to relax and not think about concievin so much. yes it is very true stress delays things. if u want this its supposed to be a happy time not a stressful time. mind if i suggest being comfortable in ur living arrangements and let mother nature do the rest when you wont be under as much pressure. enjoy your partner before a baby when baby arrives uel have less time for each other trust me, me and my fiance have 4 kids
