Really frustrated........

[Kat111]

Hi all,

I really just need to vent some frustration. My DH and I have been TTC for a couple of months now however have a slight problem. My DH works away from home and although is normally home every weekend, every second one its only for about 12 hours. I just feel that no matter how many times we BD our chances are so slim.

I am trying to stay positive but its really difficult. My AF has been a bit all over the place after coming off the contraceptive patch but I have been trying to figure out when I am ovulating by using OPK's. My DH doesn't know I am doing this as I am trying to not put pressure on him, even though I know he is as desperate for a baby as me.

Sorry I just needed to voice my fears and nobody knows we are TTC.

Kat111 I know how hard this journey is and can't even imagine how hard it is to work around a partner who isn't home constantly.

Just remember, it only takes one time to make a baby, it's all about timing. to you, hun, best of luck!

Thanks for that artsiekat. My rational side knows that it is possible but then my desperate side just finds it difficult. I will just need to go to my DH at his work when the time is right!!!!

Hi all!!! So i have a few questions to ask. I have been doing so much research that my head is starting to hurt lol untill i found this website First off, My boyfriend and i have been ttc for a lil while now. We had sex about three weeks ago and i cant tell if im having sympotms of pregnancy or not, this being my first baby and all. I wake up every morning (no morning sickness) but i feel so hungry that my stomach hurts and i feel nausiated. Also, i have NEVER had a migrane in my entire life and im pretty sure i experianced my first one about a week ago and i was sick from it for two days. Also, i do wear glasses (only when needed) but i really was never one to get headaches as much as i am now. Its like the past week my headaches are stronger and more frequent. Could these be signs of pregnancy? or something else?? Any suggestions are much apperciated!

Kat111 - Good idea! Bring him a fancy packed lunch!

ggibbs - Those do sound like pregnancy symptoms, but the only real symptom you can go by is a missed period! When do you expect to start your period? If you're already late, you should definitely test. Your symptoms do sound very promising.

As I love telling people, because I have no self-control myself -

thanks so much!! I took a pg test about two weeks ago and it came out negative so im assuming it was to early.. and im supposed to start on the 12th...timing is so frustrating lol

Yeah, if you start on the 12th, two weeks ago would have been way too early. It still could be too early now. I would probably test and if it came up negative, then I would wait to test until the 13th if I hadn't got my period yet.

Good luck and to you!
