Hi, I'm Rachel and I have been ttc#1 for 3 years and I had a miscarriage 4 years ago. So I kinda know how you are feeling, I'm very sorry for your loss and that you are having such a hard time now. I cry alot too and I get depressed,and the sex drive gets a little drab when your trying to get pregnant, it's starts to feel routine, but my suggestion would be to try to make it exciting again. I am on clomid and have been for 8 months it helps with ovulation, but I also have to take hormones. Have you been seeing a Dr.? I would discuss all this with he/she and find out all the possibilities. There is alot of tests they can do I have been through most of them. Don't give up hope because there is alot of women on here that tried for very long times and they are all starting to get pregnant your time will come too as will mine. I will pray for you and your husband. Keep the faith.

Hey, I am Michelle. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your baby! That must've been extremely difficult for you! We've been TTC for almost 2 years now. I can kind of understand what you are going through. I know it's rough to stay positive and keep the sex drive alive, but remember to make those little moments for yourselves. If you can get into the habit of it your DH or significant other will start to catch the drift and make special times for you too. I had trouble with sex drive for a little while this year and in talking to my DH he said that he felt like a 'baby machine' because that's the only time I wanted to get close. When I started paying more attention to his feelings, things got better. Now (occasionally) he remembers how hard this is on me too and will do something special for NO reward, just to keep our lives close.

The depressing feelings were one reason I came here though, I needed other girls to talk to if about!
