Jess, when we lived in Davis, I hosted a book club at our house, and the ENTIRE TIME everyone talked about pregnancy--in terribly great detail. At that time we weren't wanting to get pregnant, so I wasn't feeling discouraged about it--and it was sort of interesting, but after about an hour of it I was ready for them ALL TO LEAVE! ;-) If I recall, they stayed for 3 hours, and that was the main topic of conversation.
On a personal note, I really hope it happens for you guys soon, and when I read your post last night I remembered you in my prayers. Thanks for sharing that with us, because I know that it isn't something you want to go spread to the whole world--but at the same time you want someone to know who can be understanding.
Also, not to be the annoying person who makes generalizations, because it's different for everyone, but my sister and her husband went through a year and a half of trying--and that was after being married for 6 years--so you can imagine all the "when are you going to have kids" questions, and the frustration she felt--not wanting to say "backoff! We're trying!" but also wanting to say that. They would time it, she would take her temperature, all that sort of thing to try and find the optimal time. Anyway, when enough time went by that their insurance would pay for some treatments (I think a year) she got an x-ray, and part of the x-ray process is to flush out your system with some liquid so that the organs show up on the x-ray. That flushing out of her system (uterus) seemed to be the thing that helped most, and they were successful soon after. That's a happy ending, but I've heard it is sometimes a common thing--and the doctor mentioned that sometimes that would happen. Just something hopeful, if you find yourself headed in that direction.
I hope I haven't overstepped myself--you weren't very specific, so I hope I haven't said anything to make you feel more discouraged--hopefully the opposite, but I love you and just want you to know that I sympathize with you and think it's totally justifiable to feel absolutely cranky and sick of all the preg. talk.
I hope that Dave gets the job in DC, and you guys can go house shopping, and things will get exciting and help take your focus off any frustrations. How fun to be starting a real career! I think we have about 10 more years before I truly see us in that position! Wow, that is a long ways to go. ;-)
Love you a lot.
