2nd month ttc

[stephm14]

This is the second month i have been ttc! I dowloaded the app ovia- to help track when im ovulating... i know its only been two months but i cant help getting frustrated and impatient! anyone else feel that way??? My best friend just found out she was pregnant as welll, and she wasnt even trying! im trying my best to stay positive around her and be happy for her- i am happy for her but i cant help feeling a little envious about it How long have all of you been ttc?? please tell me im not alone in this all!

Hi Steph! I totally understand your frustration. I went off bc in March, and until June we were not trying not preventing, then actively trying since June. We had definitely hoped to get pregnant faster! Have you been off birth control for a while? Keep in mind that it can take 6-12 months for a couple to conceive. That doesn't help much when you want a baby now, but as long as you are tracking ovulation, you have a great chance of getting pregnant soon

Well I've been off bc for a while now- it was messing with me and stuff so I guess we were not trying not preventing until last month when we actively started trying- i didn't expect to be pregnant last month because theres a lot of trial and error with how to find out when exactly im ovulating and what not and i know i have to keep reminding myself of the 6-12 range but i cant help feeling discouraged a little! How are you doing with everything?? Im going to my gyno next month for a pap smear and going to discuss with her further about ttc!

It's great that you are planning ahead like that, visiting your doc to discuss things! I'm just tracking ovulation with home kits for now, taking vitamins and drinking red raspberry leaf tea (supposed to help thicken the uterine lining). I'm definitely ready to be pregnant asap, DH too, but trying not to stress too much.

I'm right there with you, girls. Went off BCP in March as well, just started really trying in July and while AF hasn't showed her ugly face yet I have gotten multiple BFN in the last week so I'm thinking she will be here soon. Keep your heads up, girls. We can be in this together!
