Leslie,
I know how you are feeling. Every year that goes by for me, I wonder if I am getting closer to figuring out that it will never happen for me. One of my best friends and I went off the pill at the same time and started trying to conceive (almost 5 years ago!). I just attended her SECOND son's 1st birthday party this weekend.
It feels awful, but I try not to think about it. It really is a personal journey - between you and your husband.
Try to stay positive and strong - I know it's hard. I have periods of really feeling sorry for myself and sometimes I think I'm being punished for something. But then I move on and keep trying and live my life. I don't know what other option we have. Try to think about all of the things in your life that are good. That always helps me.
Hope you're feeling more hopeful soon.
