didn't think it would be this hard!

[BumbleBee10]

I'm still new to TTC, this is only our 3rd cycle and I know it's silly to start worrying at this point but I just ( naively) thought it would happen straight away! My mum told me my dad only had to look at her and she was pregnant again and my sister got pregnant accidentally without even trying so I'm very frustrated!
Feel like we're doing everything right and charting to understand my cycles.

Just need to keep trying I suppose but it seems like everyone around me is getting pregnant at the drop of a hat!

Anybody else in a similar position?

Hey Bumblebee, you aren't alone! We are on cycle two, I have no idea when and if I ovulated and I'm so scared of AF again! Or BFN after getting my hopes up, yet again. I know it's early days here too but my Mum also had zero issue, my older sister gets pregnant by walking past a guy almost and even my younger sister has been pregnant without trying, just by being lazy with contraception! I have never seen a BFP and I'm really scared there is something wrong with me. Normal feelings I guess! All my friends are either pregnant or have kids, I feel so left behind and out of the loop. I also feel less special. I really hope this is our month and if not, I'll be getting a BBT and charting so I know what's going on! X

I didn't think it would take long either, especially because I came off my bcp with what I thought was plenty of time to work it out of my system. DH and I are now on cycle 10 and it's a roller coaster.

I hear ya, my sister had a few miscarriages but in total she's had 7 pregnancies. My mom and dad are both fertile myrtle. I have five siblings, three of them already have at least one child. I seem to be the one to try and try and not get pregnant. It's rough, but it'll happen in due timing.

Keep your head up, and just have fun with it...it will happen when you least expect it...or so I have been told!

Me too, I also naively thought it wud happen straight away. My brother has 3 kids and the other has one amd one on the way, all of my friends have kids and I'm the only one who seems to be having a hard time conceiving, although I obviously dont know how long every one else was trying for because its not somethig they have mentioned. one of my brothers and his gf started trying same time as me and fell immediately.
All this time worrying about bc and now I'm worrying about no bfp

You're definitely not alone! Ever since I stopped taking my bcp is December I have been worried about not being able to get pregnant. It's crazy because I have never thought about it, and once you start looking into everything online, etc, you can become very discouraged and depressed about the whole thing!
I've been telling myself not to worry about something that isn't even an issue yet. It is average to take up to a year for a healthy couple to conceive..but trying not to worry until then is hard to do.
Alison is right- we need to just try to keep a positive attitude and have fun!

Same here girls ttc cycle#4 booowhooo as frustrating as it maybe i couldn't picture making it till here with out a break down girls i too was sure id get a bfp right after stopping the pill in sep, i only started ttc in december and may i say my periods have been random either 10 days late or early which is very odd but i guess my body is figuring its self out, ive also been under plenty of stress but oh well what can i do, ive tried and failed at temping and using opks, but i seem to like the whole opk just due to household issues and drama i fall off track, well i do hope to buy some this cycle i may even attempt to try temping lets all hope for luck girls your not alone

 

[Joccy]

Yeah yall are not alone! We started TTC around October and I thought I'd get pregnant right away. I didnt do any research about ovulation or anything until a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm temping and keeping track of everything on FF. I think I'm due to ovulate soon so here's hoping! Oh! And my DH is supposed to be in town all next week! Lots of BDing in my future!

 

[twinkletoes14]

Me too! We are on cycle 10. I thought I came off bcp in plenty of time too and it never crossed my mind it would take so long Fingers crossed we all get our bfp soon xx

Hey ladies! My name is Haley. Im a 21 year old army wife. This isnt my first forum, however Ive become so obsessed with ttc, that I want to be part of all forums lol. So, dh is 20, almost 21. Although he wont let us use the term "ttc" I still do because in my eyes thats what we are doing every day of the week when we bd without contraception. We are on our 15th cycle without any bfps I use opks which come back positive once month. Af comes at 28-29 days evevery month. Ive had the doctor test my hormones, those are fine. Ive been oil pulling, and drinking apple cidar vinegar, and still nothing. Dh refuses to get his little guys checked out and since we just recently relocated, I do not have a doctor here yet to have any more tests done on me. This is so frustrating! 15 whole cycles and I cant seem to fall pregnant even once!? Af is due on april 1st, so I am at 9dpo today. This morning I decided to use an opk after reading that sometimes they show positive for pregnancy. Well to my surprise, it had 2 lines. The only difference was that it wasnt a dark test line as if it were a positive opk. I still think its weird that there was two lines because I never get 2 lines unless im oing. Well, I went to walmart and got a cheapie to take tonight, and 2 frers to take incase af doesnt show (I have a test taking addiction) lol. So I took the cheapie and got a bfn So ive decided to wait until the first to test again. I think at this point, when I get my bfp, ill probably lose it lol. Anyways, enough about me, whats you guys' stories?

Babydust to all!
