thanks for the warm welcome ladies.. its very hard because we all know there are people out their who really struggle ttc.. but its horrible for anyone after the 6 month mark i think... it comes with alot of stress and worry.. im lucky i have a soon to be 5 year old handsome prince.. but we are dying for another prince or princess.. been really stressed the last few months.. starting to think whether something fertility wise could be wrong i dunno.. does any1 else feel this way?

i got 50 for £5 - at that price you dont mind using them once or twice a day - everyday if need be

but the others cost too much, which is fine if you get BFP within a month or two but any longer and its costing

i feel the same way. i do have a wonderful 20 month old DS. i'm lucky to have him too. i did get pregnant this around on 2nd cycle but had a chemical. nothing since. can't help but think that maybe that chemical messed up my hormones or something. really thought i would have seen a bfp a long time ago. i was really stressed about it like you, but am taking the relaxed approach now. i have a plan so i feel better now. i'm gonna go to dr in june if no bfp and let them sort it out for me. for some reason that has made me feel better about it. i also had this "plan" that i wanted 3 kids before 35. i finally let go of that too and it has taken the pressure off. i always thought it was supposed to be so easy to get pregnant, what with all the use protection stuff. we were led to believe you would get pregnant at the drop of the hat if you didn't use a prevention method. well, not the case here.

i buy em on amazon for a bit cheaper than in-store, but after 7 months it's just not worth the price anymore. i really don't need to do them anymore i guess. i am getting positives around the same time every month. i think i am just a poas addict!

yeah i can completly relate to you.. im almost in the exact same situation.. im lucky that my step mom is a nurse so shes been good with advice and stuff.. its real weird for me to understand about things taking their time because my son was a beautiful suprise for us and we said when he went to school we'd love another and i suppose we just expected it to be 'easy' to get caught so to speak but this isnt the case.. which is hard to understand after having an unplanned pregnancy IYKWIM? its nice to have someone to tlk to in the same situation though.. theres not many ppl round by me i can tlk to.. just my step mom for advice frm time to time

Ive never had a dark positive on an OPK let alone an HCG test

Lewsmom - i havent reached the 6 month mark but moter lets me off cos im an old bird

ive got my IC from amazon and looked at amazon for digital test sticks but i found them cheaper on ebay - pack of 7 for £7.50 but dont know if i want to poas every single day just so that it learns my cycle

moter98 · Jan 7th, 2012, 14:28 PM

only took 3 months with ds. we thought it would take much longer so we were very surprised. after that i just assumed when we wanted another it would happen right away. i'm trying to be patient now and not worry that something is wrong. i realize i am now in my 30's too and it just may take longer. i was 29 with ds.

ooh, you get to poas everyday with that moniter? that would take care of my poas addiction. hmmm, i may have to look into that some more.
pinky, you crack me up. you've been ttc awhile. 5 months is a good chunk of time, especially when you want it so darn bad. feels like eternity.
i did check ebay for the CB, but they are always more expensive. i'm done with them anyway. i need to try an opk with the lines so i can see if i really have a + or not. that smiley face shows up too much. i'm hoping its faulty tests and not my body gearing up to o and stopping, starting, stopping, starting. will find out this month what the regular opk's say. i may be posting some on here asking if they're positive as i've never done the kind with 2 lines before. are you getting a 3 day temp rise on your chart since you aren't getting a + opk?
