32 and TTC #1.. feeling like a failure..

Ladies, I'm not sure if many of you still remember this thread but it really helped me when I was feeling at my lowest.
I thought I would share my news because it shows there is hope... I'm on vacation right now which is nice to get away from everything and the stress.. (But i did bring a First Response test with me).. and at 9 DPO.. I GOT MY POSITIVE!! I mean, I just couldn't believe it because I've been getting so used to the negative results. I know I should be posting this in the BFP section but I felt like i wanted to share this with you all more.
It was so reassuring to know and hear about other woman that have went through the same thing as me. And it gives me hope that we all can get our BFP. Doesn't mean we won't still stress about it, because I hated it when people told me to relax and it would happen. I know its good advice but its so hard to follow. And frankly, this bean was conceived when I was super stressed so it can still happen. I still haven't fully absorbed the news and frankly, I didn't have any signs either so it almost doesn't seem real yet.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to you all and I really hope more of us get our BFPs soon. :dust:

:happydance: Congrats!! :happydance: Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!! :happydance:
 
Yes, i could've written this post myself too, same situation and i feel your pain Claudia. I'll be 32 and dh 31 in July, we've been trying for so long. I had a mc 2years ago dh wanted a break so we had one but nothing happened since we started again. I tried the hard way i tried the easy going, relaxed way, the positive attitude way and i had many stressed months, too. Took temps, opks did all i could. We've just found out that there's an underlying problem so we wasted so much time to get ready financially and establish our careers, now we still need a few months if not a whole year to get help and achive that bfp. Everybody seems to be pregnant around me, people i stared ttc with already had their baby and ttc again. Frustration gets me down and i also feel like a failure. But our time will come, babydust to all x x x x x x

Hi! Your story is exactly mine. Had a miscarriage 2 years ago, we put ttc on hold because of new jobs & relocating. There are no fertility issues with me. We called a uroligist/fertility specialist and based on the call, they said my husband was stressed and as long as he was able to ejaculate, we should be fine and just relax & enjoy. Well AF visited today. I'm curious, what was the underlying problem? We are nervous to cross over into the "fertility specialist" world because we don't want to jump the gun. I would love to hear from you. Thanks!
 
Congrats Claudia_ann!!! It's uplifting to hear of your BFP!!! I'm sure you feel absolutely wonderful!
 
Hiya ladies!

I was just reviewing some old threads and took a peak at this one again. I cannot believe how many of you got your BFP's over the last few months! Congrats and have a healthy and happy 9 months! Hopefully I am not far behind!
 
I recently thought the same!! Still can't believe it sometimes that I got my positive. Makes me happy to see so many women that felt discouraged like me get the BFPs too. I'm confident we all can over time :)
 
I was reading through this and noticing how many of you have become pregnant!! It is so uplifting because it is so easy to get caught up in the "how long" you have been trying!! GL to everyone and congrats!! :flower:
 
I agree with Kasigirl and JennaLynn....I've got a superstitious side, but this thread has more BFPs from posters than any I've seen so far! Maybe it's my turn.....I need the luck.

I'm 31, have PCOS, on Met (which isn't doing a thing), haven't had a period since April (when we started trying), and have an appointment w/the gyno for Clomid (and Provera) on Friday. I know it will happen, but I definitely planned on having my first baby by the time I turned 32. Maybe I can have the baby /while/ I'm 32. Congratulations to all you lucky BFPers! Maybe your luck will rub off! :)
 
Hey there, I think you'll find you're not alone - many girls here are going through the same thing!!!

I've been TTC for 1.5 years now and both of us have been through plenty of tests and have established that everything is normal and no problems with either one of us, and yet I haven't managed to conceive yet!!

It's all very frustrating, especially so when so many people around you fall pregnant within few months of trying!!!

Just hang in there, we're all in this together!!! xx
 
Oh wow I just read OP's latest post, congrats to you!!!!!!!!!!

Now I'm praying for BFP for myself (and other girls out here too) we can do it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hey girls
Can I join in? I've been ttc for nearly a year now, just starting cycle 11 and as the title suggests, feeling like a failure! Im 32 and DH is 33. I never imagined this process would be so hard, just feel despondent all the time at the moment. It would be great if we could give each other some support and encouragement to keep going.
Huge congrats to those who got their bfp's! Inspirational! X
 
oh i love this thread! i love it because it has so many posts which i feel i could've written myself, and i love it more because since posting, i see many ladies have gotten their BFPs. it almost makes me teary eyed! i'm so happy for you all xxx

TTC definitely has its share of bitterness, but a thread like this makes me feel like someday it will be all worth it for me too. :hugs:
 
Hi ladies! I just wanted to update you all that after 11 months and 14 cycles I may have gotten my BFP today. :)

I am praying it's a sticky bean!
 
WOW massive congrats hun wishing you a H&H 9 months. AF arrived for me today so I'm moving onto month 13 you've given me some hope x
 
Yeah!! Huge congrats.. So happy that slowly but surely we are all getting our BFPs. Loopy013 here's to hoping we see your post soon! IT WILL HAPPEN!! Positive energy to you!
 
Thanks claudia_ann I'm really needing the positive energy at the moment! Here's hoping it happens soon x
