Do you ever wonder how your body will react to pregnancy?

[LittleBunnie]

Morning ladies!

I was just talking this over with my husband a few days ago, but in all my life (TTC with him, and before him) I have never once had a positive pregnancy test, have never been pregnant, and have NO idea what it feels like.

I couldn't help but think how my body will react to a pregnancy, it's so sad to think what if I end up miscarrying? What if my body (cervix) cannot sustain a pregnancy? What if I'm not big enough? I hate to think that after waiting, wanting, and trying for so long it could all be gone in the blink of an eye.

There are so many questions that run through my head. I hope I didn't offend or upset anyone, I just wonder does anyone else think things like that?

I think most have these thoughts and fears. One of my greatest fear is that I'll finally conceive after 20 months of trying only to lose the baby. Everything else - C Section, bed rest, nausea, shots to sustain pregnancy...I'm okay with ALL of those as long as I'm holding a healthy baby at the end. To wait so long, want so long, only to lose the precious little one...it would break my heart.

 

[LittleBunnie]

I am on the exact same page as you hun. I sure as heck wouldn't mind the bed rest/c-section or any other thing as long as it leads to a little gummy bear safe and sound in my arms. *sigh* I over-analyze way too much.

Hi ladies,

I was just talking to someone recently about that. I think that is something everyone worries of what if I lose the baby. I would rather wait for a baby than to get a BFP which ends with bfn. I feel for all women who have to go through that. I too have never seen a BFP and it would be a dream to take a test and see a BFP. I am currently in my 2ww of IVF, so I don't know what to expect.

I hope all your dreams come true. X

Congrats on the IVF hun! How long are you into your TWW?

 

[YearningHeart]

Littlebunnie - thanks. I'm half way through, my blood test is on Monday. How about you? Are going through any treatments?

 

[LittleBunnie]

I will be meeting with the OBGYN here on the 9th which is the day I should be ovulating. Fingers crossed. He may prescribe me clomid for next cycle.

 

[Myshelsong]

Honestly I feel the same way, I am so scared that once I finally get pregnant something will happen. But something that is even more scary for me is the idea that I will never actually get pregnant.

Heya

I don't know if it is too painful for some, but sometimes I like looking at first and second tri to find out what kind of experiences ladies are having.

Nobody ever told me how exhausting it can be to make a baby and having constant nausea, like a 24/7 hangover, is no walk in the park either. That said, I would exchange my babyless life for that in a heartbeat and actually my pregnant friends are not having much difficulty at al, just the odd morning sickness and feeling tired.

I can't wait to experience a whole 9 months of changing emotions and a completely new body experience. Hope it won't be too long for all of us. Fingers crossed, ladies.

I often wonder how I will cope with labour, but as long as I get a take home baby I think i can cope.

My biggest fear before ttc even was having a mc. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to go through and then lead me to a weird place where i was terrified of never getting a rainbow take home baby but also being terrified of getting pregnant again.

I wonder often how my body would cone with second and third trimester. Can't wait to hopefully experience it one day though

I wonder about this very same thing. I've never had a + pregnancy test and given my PCOS and crazy screwed up hormones, I find myself having a lot of fear that my body won't even know what to DO if it got pregnant. I know that at some point, you just have to let it all go. I know I borderline drive myself nuts with anxiety over this stuff. 1+ year of trying and not a single ovulation the entire time. *sigh* Sorry for my vent, LOL.

I'm praying for all you ladies and I send good thoughts and best wishes to all of you!!! I know, though, that I need to send good thoughts and best wishes to myself sometimes, too. LOL

 

[LittleBunnie]

I'm sorry Star! Have they figured out why ovulation has not occurred?

 

[Starbunny711]

I'm sorry Star! Have they figured out why ovulation has not occurred?

Well, in my whole life, I've probably had about 5-10 "real" periods and they probably didn't involve ovulation, but were withdrawal bleeds. It's very possible that I've never ovulated. My doctor says I have the most stubborn ovaries she's ever seen, LOL. We're not entirely sure, other than maybe super high testosterone or something else. :-/ She thinks it may require egg triggering shots eventually. We'll see, I suppose.

 

[YearningHeart]

Littlebunny - hey how are you? Your meeting your OBGYN tomorrow right? Hope all goes well and you get the Clomid. Keep us posted. X

Starbunny - awwww hey don't worry you are not alone. I hardly ever have periods! Last year I had a 'normal' period after years! And I started crying because I finally felt like woman.. Haha
It sucks I know, it's the pcos that spoils our system. I too don't ovulate, the amount of ovulation strips I have, I have never seen when I ovulate. My gyn said I don't ovulate often and if I was to, it's hard to tell when. X

 

[LittleBunnie]

Hey there hun! Yep, today is the day. It's 353AM and I am still wide awake. I'm a little bit of an insomniac but I am so anxious for tomorrows appointment. I hope he does an US so I can see if I've ovulated.

 

[YearningHeart]

Oh good luck, let us know how it goes. It's Sunday Evening where I am. Hopefully you come with good news, iv got my blood test tomorrow, hoping all goes well.
Take care. X

 

[LittleBunnie]

Oh, yay! You're getting bloods tomorrow? Please, please, please fertility fairy let it be a high number!

Poor baby! I bet you're going out of your mind! Ahhh!

 

[YearningHeart]

Awww thanks, yeah I really hope this is one. I can't go through another IVF, just too much. Hope there is good news from u too. Xx

 

[LittleBunnie]

So, I think I have good news?..

Met with Dr. S today and he did an ultrasound. I ovulated from my left side. He says he has hit a brick wall with us and referred us to local fertility hospital here. We may be able to try IUI/IVF?

 

[YearningHeart]

Littlebunnie - oh that's fantastic! Things looking good for you, it's exciting. All of this wait will be worth it.. You just have to have hope and keep believing that goodness will come.
I got my BFP today.. After many years and I now look at my struggle and think it's all worth it. It's still early days but I just have hope. X
