I SO agree with you!!! DH and I are TTC, have been for four months now. I'm so tired of people telling me to "relax!" None of my friends or relatives had trouble conceiving, so they don't understand the frustration. And just like you, I'm not allowed to tell hubby when I'm ovulating, it just puts way to much pressure on him, and then I get stressed. I use OPK's from the website Michele mentioned; I'm still not regular (been off the pill since Aug '07) so it's the only way I know when I'm ovulating. Aside from the mucus a few days before I ovulate, I get a definite cramp when I ovulate. So it's quite obvious to me which side the egg is coming from.
Hang in there; I totally understand what you're going through. If one more of my friends tells me she went off the pill and was pregnant within a month, I think I'll scream. Unless you've spent months and months trying and waiting and watching everyone around you get pregnant, you have no idea how frustrating it can be!
I'm giving it two more months (which will be 6) and then I'm making an appt with a reproductive endocrinologist. I'll be 30 this year, so I don't want to wait any longer!
I'm with ya, hon! Good luck!
