oh my gosh! no i was just joking! my friend got pregnant with her first right away, less than a month after getting off the pill. then she got pregnant with her 2nd after one night of her husband being frisky. lol. i always joke at how damn fertile she is and if she could rub it off on me. lol. but you shouldn't feel bad at all! you should be very proud and happy!! a baby is a blessing!! :)

Sometimes, I feel almost guilty for having had an easy time getting pregnant since it happened before I even thought I was actually fertile. But, we all have struggles and obstacles in life; getting pregnant easily certainly doesn't mean LIFE is easy! It just means that, for me, this ONE THING cut me a break. I won't even BEGIN to list all the many, many other aspects of life in which I only WISH I'd had it easier!
I know you're joking, but I also know after trying on and off for 8 years, and then 15 cycles ATTC in a row how hard it is. Don't feel bad if you feel a bit bitter, it's hard not to. I sadly (due to trying so hard/long) now have several friends who have been trying 2, 3 and even almost 5 years (with few breaks, almost that whole time actively trying) and sometimes we just have to ***** about all the fertile myrtles. Now I just listen and kvetch with them. Venting (to someone in your shoes now or in the past) really helps.
I won't say it will happen since I don't know the lengths you're willing to go to - but I will say I hope it does happen and freaking soon! I'll also say when I got my BFP, the years melted away. And my LO makes the wait more than worth it :)

i think i would be lying if i said there wasn't some bitterness. but i don't mean to put that on ppl. thats just something i can't help. i think its because i waited so long to start trying and now i just want it now and everytime someone else gets it and i don't i feel a little impatient. i think its lest bitterness and more impatience. i'm very happy when i hear ppl are pregnant. it makes me well up in happy tears sometimes. honestly i really have no reason to complain. its only been 2 months and i'm ovulating on my own. so really i have no reason to complain. so i just joke around.
i didn't think this was gonna rub ppl the wrong way but i guess it did. i honestly was just joking around the way i would with my friends. i have a friend who is very fertile and i joke around with her about how easy it is for her to get pregnant.

All the waiting every cycle doesn't help either... waiting to O, waiting to test, have forced sex at exactly the right time doesn't exactly help our relationships either.
If you want to up your chances, I highly recommend the Actively Trying: The Next Level board on the Babycenter.com community section. These are women that aren't just having sex, they are temping, using OPKs, trying herbal supplements and so on. I learned SO much there. Just be patient and know that the straightforward (sometimes rude sounding) answer you may get to your question is coming from someone trying to help you get your BFP :) Lurk a while and you'll see what I mean.
Apart from DH & I's roles, I give a TON, if not most, of the credit for my BFP to that board. Everyone here is great but it's very active over there and moves much more quickly. Feel free to PM me also if you like, I'm a walking TTC encyclopedia... lol
