Find A Fertility Friend:
Get Support Whilst Trying To Get Pregnant

If you are trying to conceive, a fertility friend to talk to along the way could be of great help to you.

---

Having someone to talk to, other than your partner, who you can fully trust is a great thing to have whilst trying to get pregnant.

---

When you are trying to get pregnant, and not having a lot of luck, it can take its toll on you as a couple. You may find yourself and your partner even beginning to argue over it, or feel a bit down about things.
This is when it can be very tempting to take it out on each. Having a friend to talk to though, especially someone else who is going through the same thing, can be an outlet for you that deflects some of the feelings you may be experiencing away from your relationship, in a time that can leave you both feeling very vulnerable.

Where Can You Find A Fertility Friend?

There are plenty of forums online (with one coming to trying-to-conceive-a-baby.com soon!), there are support groups you can find on places like facebook (I'm in the ttc club on facebook, it's a great place to chat with other women and couples who are having trouble getting pregnant - and you can even talk with people like yourself who may have been trying for a while to get pregnant - and finally do!! Seeing actual people you know who've had trouble for a long time go on to succeed can fill you with hope for your situation!).
Who knows, you might just meet someone in one of these groups who live close enough to you that you could meet up too!
If you don't want to talk to someone in a forum, find a close friend who you can trust to talk about your problems with. It's always good to have someone to talk to outside of your relationship in this instance.
The other option is to see a counselor who may be able to talk you through some of the things you are feeling and help you to realise that what you are feeling is normal and okay.
