Mothers: How did you get through it?

I am ttc for the first time and I am already getting discouraged and worried that I will not be fertile. We've only been trying 2 and a half months without luck so far, but I'm getting so paranoid that I will not be able to have children or my partner's sperm will turn out to be immobile or something! Stressing big time! So, my question is, mothers who were TRYING to concieve before they actually did, 1.) How long did it take you? 2.) Did you get depressed or discouraged/worried like I am? 3.) How did you get through it and how happy were you when it finally happened? Please answer I really want to know I'm not alone in all this. Thanks! =)
