4 months unsuccessful. trying something different :)

[misslissa]

I feel the same, we are on month 3 of TTC and decided that if it doesn't happen this month we are not going to monitor as much as we have been. I've just finished ovulating so we are at the start of our TWW. Hoping this is it because TTC is just boring, I obsessed loads the first couple of months but this month I've just hated the feeling of bd ing to make a baby, I just want normal sex now!

Trying to decide if I'll be strong enough to stop using my cbfm and opk's....

Another thing that's really been bugging me since December.... I used to be amazingly regular. I'd be able to pinpoint AF to the hour. But since we started trying its just all over the place! And id have a heavy flow for 3 days, then a lighter one for 2 then it was gone.. but now... it varies from as short as 2 days, to as long as 10 days! What the hell is that about!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's chucked it all in after 4 months!
I wish you all good luck this cycle!

There's such a fine, fine line between "trying" and "obsessing over it."
I won't stop taking my prenatal vites until I'm done breastfeeding.
But this month I've made a vow to myself to NOT obsess over it. I'll test if AF doesn't show up or if I have symptoms I can't ignore. That way, I'll be more relaxed, less stressed, and will be shocked if I get a BFP and just shrug and get on with the next month if AF shows up.
I know it's easier said than done. Two weeks can be extreeeemely long when you're trying to not think about something.
It's like trying to tell a kid excited about Christmas coming to chill out and not think about it. WAY easier said than done!!!

I'm doing the same now... ignoring all symptoms and ONLY testing iv AF is 3 days late...

Hear, hear! I think this something different sounds great! I'm not temping this cycle, so I think that will help me relax a little.

Like Kahlua said, it's so much easier said than done, and I will probably be a wreck during the 2ww (this is my first cycle on Clomid!), but in the meantime, I'm having a glass of wine and not worrying!

Hopefully the alcohol does us a world of good
Goodluck with the clomid! I hope it works for you.

I love this thread! Ive also decided to chill out abit so me and my husband brought out the champagne! but it is still at the back of my mind that it was a bad idea lol I've also decided not to test this month , as last month i think i tested way to many times! and when AF showed up i was sad for days!so im gonna take the pressure of myself this month and not test till i miss my AF.. if that doesn't work il try a new approach next month.. my hubby was alot happier when i stopped banning him from having a beer!

We went on a blow out at the weekend, eating take-out & drinking with DHs mates!! Ive been so good for so long that it was nice to let my hair down & have a bit of fun!!!
Its so hard doing everything right & still not being pregnant!! This month Im really trying to chill out about it!! EASIER SAID THAN DONE!

Hi im new to this and not really sure how it works but im just after a bit of advice really. We have been TTC since the beginning of the year but this month i am determined. I had my last period on the night of 29th and i have a 25/26 days cycle so i guess the best time to try was between 6th to 11th. so we have everyday. However today with still about 11days until my period is due but i have a very strange cramping feeling on and off last night and today and my boobs feel like im about to get a period. can these be signs this early or do you think its just in my head?
thanks to anyone that can help?

I think test when your AF is due.. and just incase maybe keep BDing just incase! its hard to tell knowone can say its to early or not because different women get symptoms at different times its best not to dwell on these symptoms to much though! i hope you get your BFP this month!!

The best advice I an give you, is to ignore it. Might sound harsh but I get this symptoms every single month after ovulation. I'm not saying that your Definantly not pregnant, but don't take it too much to heart. It could be early symptoms, but its most likely just part ofvyour normal cycle and you haven't picked up on it before.
Also theres a chance that you think your pregnant and that can less with your hormones top... and put off your AF. As far as I'm concerned the only reliable pregnancy symptom is a positive hpt!

Just stay positive and try not to think about it too much! Goodluck!

Hi, im also new to this site. Just thought i would reply to say I know how you feel because for the last 2 months that ive been ttc, I too have been getting early symptoms like sore boobs and cramping but I still havent had my BFP. Wait to see if AF shows up and if it doesnt then do a preg test, keep us posted hunny x

 

[tinyfeetdream]

I dont blame you hun! Its soooo frustrating when people get pregnant at the drop of a hat I do believe I may snap one day and actually strangle one of them! Especially the ones on Jeremy Kyle! Grrr!

It took us 4 months to conceive our first but sadly that ended in very early mc, so now we're trying again, and im desperatly trying not to obsess over it! Glad there is a thread like this. I have carried on taking the folic acid obviously and have just invested in a fertile focus saliva scope just as a bit of reassurance to me that I know that my body is actually doing something after the mc!

I'm drinking a bacardi and diet coke as I type and will be off round town shortly and intend to consume copious amounts of alcohol

Good luck with all you ladies hope you all get your bfps soon!! xx

 

[tinyfeetdream]

@ pink princess - just before I got my bfp I felt like my period was coming, I had period pains but no period! Really hoping its a good sign for you x x
