Need some help.... losing hope

So its been 7 long years of me trying to conceive..... My ex husband and I never had one but not long after we split he had a baby girl with someone else..... No I'm married again to an amazing man who has two sons already and I find myself on the brink of nuttiness.... Still all this time I have yet to get pregnant. Doctors say I'm normal... I have normal periods... And obviously my husband is working as it has been proven twice. I don't know what else to try and I'm losing hope in ever becoming a mother no matter how bad I want and pray for it. Does anyone have any advice on getting pregnant that worked a miracle for them? I know my husband tries and understands my pain but he can't since he already has two kids so I feel kind of alone on the pain front. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I went through basically the same thing. My ex-husband and i tries for years until he cheated and got anorher girl pregnant. My now amazing hubby has 2 kids and we tried for years also. I went to docs, everything is normal. I felt the same as you, alone. Noone could understand how i felt. So, i decided to try to prep my body to be healthier in case i became pregnant. I quit smoking, began getting back to eating healthier and regular exercise. We tried for another year. Then for the holidays i just said, i want a break from all the kits and watching everything i eat. I dont want to be on a schedule. The next month we conceived. I'm now 27 weeks. Dont give up hope. Try not to stress about it. It will happen when you least expect it. Best wishes and i hope this helps.

I was trying with my bf for quite a while and nothing was happening, then a friend told me to stay healthy and take prenatal pills that they would help me get pregnant and i kid you not after taking them for a month i got pregnant, right away. So I'd say take prenatal pills they worked for me big time.

It took four years for my husband and I to conceive and we tried a number of different things but nothing worked I read an article that suggested having sex everyother day and keeping your legs elevated for 15-20mins after. I don't know if it's just coincidence but that month we finally got pregnant.

I have a colleague who was married for 10 years and couldn't conceive.  She devolved and remarried.  5 years into second marriage with no hope, she conceived at age 44. Please don't despair.  Stop thinking about it and embrace your husbands kids. God will do a miracle.

I have heard that going to a chiropractor regularly can help get your body in sync with itself I don't know if it's true but I have been going to one for over a year and it has improved my ooverall health si it couldn't hurt.  Good luck I'm sure it will happen for you:)

We tried for over two years to get pregnant. We finally gave up on it and didn't want it to happen because we just bought a fixer upper house and were crazy busy. I honestly think it helped to stop thinking about it 24/7. Relax and don't "try".

I'm sorry you're having to go through this.  Don't lose hope.  Just relax. I have heard so many women say that once they stopped focusing on getting pregnant it just happened.  

I know a woman who tried for 11yrs and then had 2 kids one after another.  Just don't lose hope.  

Also, I'm not sure how medically accurate this is but I've heard that having orgasms during intercourse (not necessarily vaginal) is supposed to help.

This may sound silly,  but trust me on this. My family has always been into working with stones,  since I was tiny I have carried different ones with me everywhere.. my husband is older and really wanted to be a daddy so I got off my birth control and we were trying for 2 years with no success. Then my mum gave me a rainbow moonstone necklace.It's very good for women and cycles and that kind of thing. After 3 months of wearing it I found out I was pregnant. It is a very very pretty stone and hey if there is a chance it can help you out,  try it!  Again you make think I'm silly but I firmly believe it made all the difference in the world. So seriously get yourself a piece of rainbow moonstone, it can't hurt right?
