Thanks for doing that Arianne...! Sorry Soliel I WISH my would come! UGH! So far NOTHING this month....brutal...I just ordered some FertilAid and FertilTea from the internet. The reviews sound promising in that it helps to regulate your cycle. That seems to be my biggest problem right now. I took a test on Sun and BFN so I am going to enjoy this holiday season and not worry about TTC...I'm going to Eat Drink and be Merry Then hopefully this FertiAid stuff comes in the mail and we'll see what happens from there. I ordered 2 months worth so if it doesn't regulate me then I'll go the doctor as I think it will be my yearly check up by then and 8 months off the pill!

Of all of my 7 BFF's 6 have gotten PG within 3mos of trying and the other one is still on BC getting married this summer. She is very open about saying how she wants to get pg as soon as she gets married. She is 30 so hopefully it happens quick for her. I have been told by 2 people in the last couple years about how I shouldn't wait as it 'takes time' too and I kept thinking...as long as I try before I'm 35 I have tons of time...well apparently not. As a teenager you have the fear of God instilled in you that you will get pg if you have sex one time without protection....so you do everything in your power (well most of us) to prevent ourselves from getting knocked up! (my DH and I when we started dating used BC AND Condoms every time except a few occasions) Then when you are actually ready....nothing!

LOL Oh girls, as I type this Shrek is on TV and it is the scene where the poor Gingerbread man is getting tortured by Lord Farquard (sorry sp) and the Gingerbread man just yelled "Eat Me!" Don't you wish you could say that to those that question on why you don't have kids yet? I know I do!

Have a good night to all!

 

[hopefulmama2b]

Arianne- Thanks for doing that! I think you're right...beaner and wilverwillow both got their BFPs I believe. So 4 so far!! This is my second cycle after my mc and the first time it took 3 cycles so I'm praying that my time is coming. I really, really want to get pregnant by my first due date otherwise I know it will hurt even more. My fingers are crossed and I'm testing Friday. I will be 11 or 12 dpo by then.

Finally ready- Isn't it hard when all of your friends have what you want?? You're so happy for them, but it's still hard sometimes.

I CANNOT wait to see more BFP on that list!!!

 

[Aisak]

Thanks for the list Arianne...i am on cd6 of cycle 5 though

These words could have come right out of my mouth!

Hubby is hopeful; he thinks that this month, with AF being late and me getting those weird pinches 10dpo, that we were pregnant and that means that we "can" get pregnant. I dunno. We never got a BFP.

Oooo...who said they were going to start FertilAid in the new year? Let me know how that goes! We ordered the stuff for hubby (three months supply) and the lubricant. I might take the lube home with me for the Holidays...should be ovulating around New Year's.

But yeah, I didn't order any for myself...so I'm going to track the FertilAid girl and see how it goes!

Chao, peeps. Bumps, blessings and dust to all!

 

[Caroline:-)]

Hi girls, how is everyone?
I've not been on bnb for a couple of weeks now and I was really hoping I'd come on here and see loads of BFPs... Anyone due to test soon??!?! GL girls... try and stay positive
The last 2 weeks I've been sooo ill... flu and a chest infection so I'm on antibiotics at the moment... I've also got terrible sickness... not sure whether it's a mix of both morning sickness and because of my illness?!?!? It's horrible though - it lasts all day and I'm constantly being sick...
I also had spotting for more than a week so I was quite worried... but my GP referred me for an early scan which I had today, and thankfully all is ok!!!!! Gees, I've had a right couple of weeks of it... and I'm still sick...
Anyway, GL and loads of to you all x

 

[hopefulmama2b]

Caroline, good to hear from you!!! Glad your scan looked great. I hope the illness leaves you soon.

Why, oh why did I not stick to my original plan to wait to test on Friday. I had dreams all night about testing so when I woke up I said what the hell....and got a BFN. It was an ic at only 9 dpo so I'm trying not to be too discouraged, but it didn't start my day off good that's for sure. So...I WILL NOT test until Friday and I will use a FRER then. I remember when I was taking hpt everyday waiting for my betas to return to zero the last positive I got on an ic was the day my blood draw was 26 and the last positive on a FRER was when it was 16. So...maybe I'm just not to 26 yet! Ahhhh....wishful thinking.

Hope everyone is doing good!

Hey that was me with the Fertil Aid! I just ordered a 2 months supply of the pills for me and the Fertil Tea!! I am really excited...the reviews sound VERY promising...I just got my email right now saying that my ordered has shipped. It was Free shipping to US and Canada which was nice too!

I'll let you know how it goes!

Hi ladies, i have found so much information and comfort from this site, i didnt realise there were so many of us out there going through the same thing, i truly felt alone in this.

I am struggling with some of the abbreviations on here BFP BFN ??

any help, advice and support would be warmly received

 

[sillysilly7]

Hi everyone.

I've been watching the thread but finally worked up the nerve to post. I am 30 and am on CD 3 of my 2nd cycle TTC. In October my husband and I had some 'oops-ies' and although we weren't trying, the disappointment of not getting pregnant is what got the ball rolling on trying. I had no idea how difficult it was considering when you're in school they tell you how easy it is to get pregnant and how careful you have to be not to get pregnant. Once I started researching getting pregnant, I was shocked to read even if you do everything perfect, there is still only a 20% chance. What the heck?!

Even though I know 30 is still young, I want to wait to have #2 until #1 is 3 or so, so I'm already worried. I know, I know-after only 1 true round TTC I shouldn't be worried, but can't help myself!

Furbie-I haven't figured out all the lingo either (DH and OH baffle me), but BFP=big fat positive, BFN=big fat negative

 

[Aisak]

Hi silly! i'm 31 and on my 5 month of ttc...and feeling frustrated! It's so true - you spend your "youth" trying to avoid pregnancy, and then when you're ready...nothin'.

There's a section on the main babyandbump page under "forum help and testing" (near the top) that has a guide to all the lingo. DH is dear husband and OH is other half (OH had me confused for quite a while too).

 

[finallyready]

Good Luck testing tomorrow Hopefulmama!

 

[arianne]

Hi Caroline!! happy to see you in here, and glad to hear your scan is ok!! hope you feel better!

Girls quick question... do you stay in bed after bding? if so for how long? and do you lift your legs up?? I used to do that, but bc I never got a bfp, I started to just do whatever i felt like doing..figuring that other ppl get pregnant wihtout having to raise their legs or that stuff... but then i thought today that maybe i should keep doing that.... it usually comes out and makes me wonder if my chances are reduced once that happens

 

[arianne]

for the ones wanting to try fertilaid.... I would also recommend maca... which is a natural food from peru, it increases fertility... my dh has started to take them this month... I have the powder form for me...but it tastes disgusting so i'll buy the capsules once Im done with the powder... it is very expensive though, but I know it is awesome, not only for fertility but for other things as well... here some info about it: https://www.ehow.com/how_5066710_increase-fertility-quickly-maca.html

Yes!! we have been preventing pregnancy for so long and always being terrified by the thought of getting pregnant... and now that we REALLY try everything....NOTHING!!!
Even though I have been told that it takes time to get a bfp, I never thought it would be so hard (thought maybe for ppl with "problems" but as Silly says, the chances of getting pg are pretty low, even if you do everything right and you and your dh are perfect)
Now i laugh when ppl ask: when are you having kids? well... I don't know!!!!! I used to ask this question many times... or, to couples that were in their late 30's with no kids I'd ask: why don't you have kids? and now I regret it, maybe they were trying but weren't able to
