8th month ttc # 1

[willowtree24]

Hey this is my 8th month ttc. This is going to be a rant post probably. I've been trying since November 2014 had a mc in December. I'm currently on cycle day 16 ovulating. I'm in my 20's and just wanted someone to talk to that's also been ttc for a few months. This month I'm taking pregnancy care vitamins though I've take half a pack already.

I'm also in my 20's, this is our 6th cycle and I'm in the TWW. I am so afraid I can't get pregnant, I want to see a positive on a test MORE THAN ANYTHING I'VE WANTED IN MY LIFE lol. I'm so sorry about your mc. What CD are you on?

 

[willowtree24]

Hello !! I know I get my hopes up so wanting a bfp I'm so scared sometimes that I don't even want to take the test ! Lol. Thank you. We will get there !!! I'm on cycle day 17 now officially 2ww for me ! Good luck ! How you feeling

 

[Mina246]

I'm on cycle day 20 so we're pretty close! I got a positive OPK cycle day 17 so the TWW is underway. I've been feeling some mild cramping but I read that could just be from ovulation. Obviously implantation doesn't happen that quickly. Other than that I feel completely normal! We used preseed for the first time this month and I'm also eating pineapple so fingers crossed! How are you feeling?

 

[willowtree24]

Pretty close ! Yeah well I'm poorly atm I'm usually poorly because I have bad digestion . But I have had heavy full feeling down below. I've heard good things about preseed I haven't tried it I will have another look into it. What does pineapple do? I am allergic to it so no chance that's coming near me lol. My 2ww will go quote fast as I'm going on holiday and don't come back till 20th June I'm due af on the 18th. I gwt abit down sometimes thinking about when it's my turn to be blessed with a baby. It's hard seeing friends and family get pregnant but at the same time your so happy for them !

Pineapple is supposed to make the fertilized egg stick better I guess, I thought it can't hurt to try haha. And when I was looking into preseed I found out saliva kills off sperm, which is what we always used down there so I'm hoping that's all the issue was hahaha saliva, standing up, and possibly not enough CM. I get really down about it, just wondering if it's even possible for me to GET pregnant. It's like if it happened I would be so shocked. Completely and 100%. I know what you mean, I see girls on social media from high school pregnant with their 2nd and 3rd, and my cousin and soon to be sister in law are both trying right now too. I don't want to feel like it's a race, but I've been with SO for almost six years and so my head is telling me it wouldn't be fair if they got pregnant first because my cousin has only been with her SO 2 years I think and soon to be sis in law, 6 months... I hate how jealous we become because we just want a miracle so badly. I've felt crampy since right after o, every day which is weird. Trying not to overthink things because that makes AF so much worse.

Hi can I join you ladies?? I am also in my 20's and just entered my 8th cycle trying (6 and a half months). It's slowly getting harder and harder to see the BFNs, especially when I convince myself each cycle that THIS will be the one!!! And then it isn't. I have endometriosis and am worrying that I'll need another op before I can get pregnant or maybe there's something else that's wrong too! So I'm booked in next week to speak to the doctor. FX she can help!

 

[willowtree24]

I know mina when people who haven't even been together longer than you and your DH on their forst try they get pregnant. And I'm like ergh! Lol it will happen when you see that posative line yiu will be over the moon I'm trying to eat more fruit and veg and getting up earlier and trying to keep busy and active. Currently 5dpo. How about you ? Cramps are a good sign ! Keep strong and posative.

Welcome emiloo I kept convincing myself too that I was pregnant every month but got so dissapointed so I'm trying a more relaxed approach. I really hope you are well. I've got ibs and anxiety and all that fun stuff but I've never had my fertility checked but I've been pregnant before so I know I can get pregnant. Baby dust to us all !

I apologise for my atrocious spelling I use my phone when I'm on here. Hehe

welcome emiloo! The more the merrier! I've been trying to be more relaxed as well, but it's so difficult. Like as soon as I start thinking about maybe being pregnant I immediately make myself think of others things because I would probably drive myself crazy. It is so stinking SAD to start your period and see a BFN. That's why I rarely test early because I'd rather just start AF then see another BFN. This is only our 6th cycle "trying" but man there's been so many times with my ex husband and with an ex bf and now with my fiance many times where I convince myself I "might" be and buy tests. I hate the waiting and guessing game. I'm actually vegan now so my fruit and veg intake is pretty big lately haha it's so good to have those nutrients in you! I get a ton of folate for example just by eating a head of lettuce a day. Baby dust to us allllll!!!! Let's keep each other updated!

I can relate!!! I had a mc January 2014 and after that I went back on BC because I needed to heal emotionally. My husband and I decided in March of this year to start TTC again. It hasn't been 8 months, but evey monh you try after a mc seems to feel more difficult. I keep just telling myself it'll happen when it's meant to and hopefully it'll be soon wishing you luck and fingers crossed for a BFP for you soon!!!

Hello all

Can I jump in.. Ttc now for what seems like forever.. Originally started in June 2013, but we found out in November 2013 my husband has azoospermia (no sperm count) so we turned to sperm donor route before we go for IVF. Hoping it works, ovulation day today. (7th attempt so just fingers crossed it works).. Although in my head I'm already thinking about what if, and what I'll do different next month

It's so frustrating..a few years ago with an ex partner I conceived first try (although miscarried).. Hoping this is our month x

Hi Everyone! I'd love to join this thread! I am in my 6th cycle..never would I have thought it would take 6 months! I remember when my husband and I first made the decision to start trying, we thought i'd get pregnant fast.,..didnt happen! I've made the decision that if this cycle doesnt work out, that i would go back to the doctor..just to see whats up. I know they say wait a year before seeking help...but I cant wait that long!!

I am on CD 8 and waiting patiently to O. I have been reading the book "taking charge of your fertility" and so far I love it! You can never learn enough about fertility and your body!

baby dust to everyone!

Girl I know exactly what you mean about the jealous part. My cousin just had her 5th and every time I get on social media there is a pregnancy announcement, and now it seems everyone at my job is getting pregnant. I can't look at a baby without wanting to cry... And then I feel ridiculous for wanting to cry!!! I am totally going to try the pineapple!!! Sendin baby dust to all!!

I can so relate to how all you ladies feel! I've been with my husband almost five years, married for almost three, and we decided to stop birth control in March. I thought we would get pregnant right away but nope! This past month I started doing ovulation tests, so I'm hopeful that soon we will be expecting a little nugget. It's so tough when all my friends seem to get pregnant at the drop of a hat or on complete accident!

This is our 9th month ttc #1 after a chemical at 5+6 last cycle, currently on cd11 and prying that there really is increased fertility after you mc.

 

[willowtree24]

Still in confusion mode 22 days late for af atm. I just don't know what to think anymore will be my 10th month ttc ... xx

 

[willowtree24]

Well not much change with me ladies apart from my boobs hurt and I'm getting cramps. And yet more of my friends announced pregnancies this week. So I had a little cry to myself of joy and because it does hurt still tjat it's not me announcing one. I never knew that getting pregnant could take a long time in thw beginning but it will be well worth the wait I'm sure for our chosen angel !!! Baby dust and hugs to all !

 

[mininun1]

Hugs willowtree! Have you gotten AF or are you still late? And have you tested at all?

I am 24 days late for af. I never had a full af like my usual one instead 5 days past my af date I got lots of watery cm and then pink tinted cm but no blood. So I never counted it got neg urine and blood tests so waiting to see if this cycle happens or not. How about you
