Hello everyone! My name is Heather and this is my first time using this site to look for support while trying to find people who can relate to what i'm facing now. I am 26 and have been trying to conceive my first baby for the last 8 mos. I have a regular 28 cycle and have made a concerted effort to get pregnant, but nothing has happened. I track my ovulation and have even used ovulation predictors. I feel helpless and hopeless at times. Even the slightest thing can trigger anger, guilt, heartache, and despondence. I have two close friends who are pregnant, which has reminded me of what I may not have in my life. I am scheduled to see an obgyn at the end of the month and hoping to get some answers. I have been praying and taking a lot of bubble baths to relax and cope, but I just can't handle this at times. Any thoughts are welcomed! I feel like i'm like a broken record when I talk to friends and my husband is just as frustrated with the situation. I wish everyone a chance for motherhood. Stay strong and hopeful, myself included.

Hey..
I've been trying for a baby for 4 months, I know how you feel with your moods, as I feel the same, I send you lots of hugs and your OBGYN will tell you or point you in the right direction.
Lots of baby dust to you

Hi Heather.

Firstly welcome to Baby & Bump! I'm new as well, but now i'm getting the hang of things using this site.

I'm 27, and have been TTC for the past 18 months, had a couple of times when i thought i was but nothing - YET!

How you and your partner are feeling is normal, we're just the same! Trying to get pregnant can be stressful at the best of times, even more so whne you have people around you that have less difficulty in getting preggers. But i just say to my self that our baby will be even more special when we have one.

Being a woman is stressful and when something so natural don't happen straight away the pressure is on!! But honestly, take each day as it comes and try to relax.

I'm currently having tests done, and i have a scan booked in for the 28th to test for PCOS as my cycles are 2-3 days different everytime.

Hope this helps!

Chello

Are you temping and using OPKs?

 

[HanginOnHope]

I have not tried the predictors last month, but have not tried the basal temp. I have read articles on it, but was a little confused. I have been obsessive as it is, so I fear adding on extra thing to do while TTC may make it more stressful than it has been. Thank you for the advice...I need to consider it as an option

Ive just joined as well, as a lot of friends seem to get pregnant as soon as they start trying. Ive TTC for over a year now and i will say its been stressful and hard on our relationship, im due for a USS later this month, so at least i will know if there is anything wrong.

Baby dust to everyone
