Hello all. I am new to this site. I found it in attempt to meet others who can relate to fertility struggles. My husband and I have been ttc for about five years, but this is the first time I have taken any meds (clomid) although I am excited to try it and hopeful that it may work, I feel a little down. I seem to get this way almost anytime I am confronted with pregnancy (or lack there of). Every time my period was late and I thought maybe this time, but nothing. Or every time a doctor was careless with my fertility struggles (there have been some real jerks). And now after every hormone lab or doctors appointment, or conversation with curious family members, I just feel down, and I am not sure why. Its just that every time I am dealing with anything pregnancy related I feel alone, I guess. Anyone else felt this way?
 
While I definitely haven't had to struggle for nearly as long as you, I definitely know the feeling. I'm sorry about all of the tough times and terrible doctors. This site has really helped me a lot. It helps to see others in your same situation, going through the same struggles and feelings. You will meet a lot of really awesome, friendly, helpful women on here.

If you feel like it and are going to be testing any time this month we have a thread going for April Testers. I have gotten to know a lot of great women on that thread and we are a great support system for each other. It was a little intimidating for me at first with all of the chatting, but if you feel like it, dive in and join us. :D
 
Hi Tonks! I'm new as well. Though I have not been trying as long as you I have also not been trying if that makes any sense. My husband and I have been married for 4 yrs and never used any form of birth control. This is my first cycle charting and using OPKs. When people ask me when I'm going to have a baby I never know what to say. I use to say oh we're not ready but deep inside I knew I wanted nothing more than a child. I hope your luck takes a turn for the best. Much baby dust your way!
 
I hate that question, when are you going to have a baby, I say something vague like oh someday or we're just not ready yet and then they almost always ask "why". Total strangers ask me this! And yes deep down I am feeling the same as you, wanting so badly to have a baby.
Thanks for your hopeful thoughts I wish the best of luck to you as well!
 
Hi newbies and welcome to the site. There is a long term part of the forum you might want to check out too. :thumbup: x
 
Hi Tonk.

Firstly Welcome to Baby & Bump! I'm also new here, i only joined about 3 days ago, and i'm already addicted!! :haha: The ladies on here are so friendly and so full of advice etc it really nice to chat on here.

Secondly, I think how your feeling is how most women are when we're all TTC, Myself and my partner have been trying for 18 months now and already i'm feeling it! Sometimes when we have :sex: i feel like its a chore, but then i have to think of the fun part aswell, If you know what i mean :flower:.

I haven't got the stage yet of Clomid but i'm currently having load of tests and scans done for PCOS. It just seems never ending sometimes :shrug:.

I hope it all goes well for you Tonk. Here's some Baby Dust for you :dust:

Take Care

Chello :hug:
 
Hello! I just joined this site today for similar reasons. I have been trying for 8 months and I feel like my world revolves around the idea of being pregnant or not. I can honestly say this has been the hardest time in my life/ my marriage. I feel misunderstood and reactionary when friends, family, and my husband try to comfort me because deep down I know there isn't anything they can do to help. I have two close friends who are expecting (one instantly became pregnant after stopping the pill, and the other is having her second child) and I feel happy and sad at the same time. I feel like I'm on an emotional roller coaster that doesn't have any brakes and/or hope of stopping. I give you A LOT of credit for being so patient for so long during TTC. It is so difficult because we feel like we don't have any control. I wish you all the best
 
Hi and welcome!! I think what you're feeling is normal. I have a friend who got pregnant with PCOS 3 times. Twice on accident and one was planned. I feel like I'm surrounded by people who can just get pregnant by a guy sneezing on them. And than here I am and my poor dh has to go through a whole lifestyle change just to get me what I call "pregnant in my mind":haha:. It's to the point where I avoid the :baby: section at stores for the fear that I might start :cry:. Only 3 people know that I'm ttc (not counting this forum) b/c I don't want to get the "are you pregnant yet" question every month. Oops I kind of ranted. :dohh: Anyways, welcome welcome! I hope this forum helps you not feel so alone like its helped me.
