So, this is the vent thread, eh? I have a few things I'd like to rant about!
- TTC for 14 months (hubby has no apparent issues)
- Frequent abdominal pain with increasingly awful, heavy, painful periods
- Multiple symptoms and family history point to endometriosis
- Ultrasound turned up NADA, laparoscopy turned up NADA
- MD who did the surgery told me the cure to my pain was to get pregnant. (Ummm, isn't that exactly what we're trying and failing to accomplish here??)
- Started spotting for the first time ever in my life on Friday. Thought I was pregnant, spotted until Monday when, of course, my period showed up. With a vengeance.
I basically cried and slept for an entire day. Then I got myself a new OB/GYN. Planning HSG and hormone testing this month. If they come up normal (like everything else) then we have exhausted all our options, because insurance doesn't cover fertility treatments.
Why do so many terrible people have beautiful, amazing children they don't deserve??? Why do irresponsible, misled teenagers get to pop out five kids and neglect them while people who want to be parents so badly and would take great care to do right by their kids can't even have ONE?!?!
If one more person tells me that it will happen when it's meant to be, I am going to smack them.
to show up bang on time with cramps pain meds and hot water bottles can't cure. You'd think that after 2 years 7 months of ttc/ntnp I'd know better.
The one day where I want to forget about ttc and someone just has to bring it up 
I had introduced myself a while back, but like i said... it's been awhile. So, i'll just reintroduce myself. My name is Rachael. I am 25 years old. OH will be 26 in Sept. We've been together 10 years and have been TTC for 23 months. August of 2011 is when we started trying because i had gotten pregnant in July 2011 and miscarried a week after finding out. I was 5 weeks. Never in my life did i realize i wanted a baby so badly until after it was taken away from me. Which is why we've been TTC for the last 23 months. As soon as i had the miscarriage, i joined this site. I have met many wonderful girls! I joined a thread of other girls whom were going through the same thing (miscarriage). It was so nice to vent to them about the feelings/emotions i was feeling because they felt the same way. Month after month after month each girl fell pregnant again. Every single one of them have had a baby since then. Some are pregnant with baby #2. That is when it hit me.... I am not longer TTCAL (trying to conceive after loss) but i am LTTTC. It's so scary transforming to this category because before i felt like there was LOTS of hope. I felt like this will be my month, but now i feel like it only happens in the movies. Seems so far away. I feel like it will happen one day, but the waiting game is going to kill me.
