Don't want to be a Debbie Downer

[missi1717]

Ugh... so I really try to live each day with a positive attitude. I'm blessed with 2 beautiful girls but I feel like my family isnt near complete. I need to have more babies!!!!!
This whole ttc thing is really becoming disheartening. I had experienced an early miscarriage /chemical back in May. After that we took a few months off of ttc just bc I didn't want to get my hopes up and experience that again.
This is now our 6th consecutive month ttc. (we started ttc in January of 2015, so it's been over a year with maybe 3-4 skipped cycles)
I am 11dpo now and took a test... BFN!
I know that this takes time, but I was just wondering how some of you ladies keep your hopes up???
The last time I saw my obgyn was back in june... and she just said, "keep trying... you'll get pregnant"
I feel like our timing is always right on. I just don't know why this isn't working. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Have you two been tested yet? You know there are VERY basic at home fertility tests now, and you can check sperm count at home at well.

Ive been trying a year i had a cp.last yr and was 3 weeks late last cycle. I know i od as i do opk and temp. Know what u mean i was doing ok and then found out today someone i know who is borderline alcholic doesnt eat smokes.like a.chimney is 3 months pregnant. It doesnt make sense i stopped drinking dont smoke and eat well. I wish her pregnancy well so im not being mean but it makes.no sense. Im usually down for a few days after but try and pick myself up. Its not easy. The only thing that has helped is a few yoga dvds yoga can help get pregnant as it takes away the stress of ttc and it really picks me up so might be worth trying. I have been trying a year and last time inwas pg.it took a yr and 3 months. My doc said most ppl my age conceive in 2 yrs i just hope it wont take that long

Wow thanks amber! I never knew these options existed!!! I'm definitely going to look into it!
Sunshine- I know exactly what you mean. There are so many parents out there today that don't deserve the beautiful babies they have... just watch one episode of the news, and someone is arrested for child abuse, neglect etc. I think to myself, I'll take those babies/children and love them and care for them.
I literally would give my right arm right now to get pregnant.
I pray everyday.

Yep, they are available all on Amazon (better prices, way better actually) but you can get the EPT and one of the male (count only) tests at Walmart and the big pharmacies, Walgreens normally always has them, but like I said the prices even with shipping cost are better online than in the stores.

YOGA is amazing so keep it up, it really does help, and you can actually get on Youtube and search for specific Yoga that is designed to help increase fertility and help you conceive, I'll look for a link to one now.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRPI8ZfL_Qk

Not too sure about this site but thought Id add in as well just in case :::

Here are some paid dvd/sets that are available:

https://www.m.amazon.com/Yoga-Meditation-for-Fertility-DVD/dp/B00G057X8G



AND that's not even scratching the surface of what is out there, if you like Yoga, you may also like Acupuncture so it's worth looking into bc I know they do treatments specifically for fertility and maybe you could look into reflexology bc they also do stuff with fertility Hope all that helps Like I said, as soon I honestly on the inside had given up on a baby and was planning a life of vacations and private time with my SO, I got pregnant, which I KNOW does not help you know bc I know what's it's like to be stuck in baby mode and it's really hard to just let go and let it be, esp. if you are someone like me who has to be in control of everything (like say someone who just ordered 100 OPKS and 100 PTS from amazon, plus track my cycle, cm, temp, etc, I go nuts with it) lol Don't give up, it took us a LONG time to conceive and she was actually a "surprise" baby bc we really we not trying anymore, I thought we just couldn't have kids. So it can happen even if it is taking a long time

Here's one more I saw that is longer than the other ones so you could actually use this a routine for yourself

Thanks for the info amber!
Just an update... af is officially one day late... feeling kinda crampy the past few days so I might have ovulated a day or so late. Haven't tested since 11dpo. If she doesn't show by tomorrow I'll test again

 

[ambertwogood]

Oh, how great! Hoping to see a pic of your test soon!!!

 

[missi1717]

Af still not here but I have cramps I'm all out of tests. Last time this had happened, I went out, bought tests and then af showed 5 mins later.

Thinking I should just wait and not waste money
