Someone to talk to?

[Lirpa11]

Hello

I'm currently waiting to O which could be anytime over the next few days.

This is our fifth consecutive cycle, 6 if you count a cycle two months before we said we were TTC. It's such a long journey for us anyhow. I know some have tried for longer and been successful, but that doesn't make the past 5 months seem any faster for us

I just want it to happen already. I want to get to planning and I want to meet our little one, who hasn't even begun yet

So yea, just wanting people to talk to, so hard to get my mind off of it. Especially with all the other expecting couples around and others getting preggo in their first or second month. When will it happen for us

Hi Lirpa,

I know exactly how you feel! OH and I have been TTC 14 almost 15 months now, not including the 3 months before that when we made the decision to start TTC. It is hard, especially when so many people around you tell you their expecting. I currently have a colleague expecting (due at the end of March), my best friend (May), my brother and his wife, my another best friend and another colleague (August).

I want it so badly but I just keep telling myself that our time will come and that it will happen.

Hi Lirpa!

Yup I'm feeling you. We have been TTC for two months now and though not long I feel as though it is an age. I have been waiting four years to TTC and I just want my baby already! I am desperate. We are visiting friends at the moment, they have a five week old. Most of my friends have babies. The others are pregnant, or TTC as well. I feel as though we are the only ones left in the world. I want those two lines, to be able to share the good news etc! It will happen but man, this part sucks.

It seems all the friends I have also had no issue falling pregnant, first go! First! Honestly.

It can really get me down so this month I am trying to limit BnB, we aren't using OPKs, no preseed, no temping even though I initially decided to, and did a few days. Just EOD BDing! We can't do it at the moment due to not being home, but from tomorrow night! I hope by doing that I relieve some stress!

All the best x

I am right there with you!!! This was our first month of really TTC (doing ovulation tests and some charting) I have long cycles, 35-40 days so opks are a must. We also bd EoD from cd12 on. It is exhausting not being able to "predict" ovulation. I am now 9dpo and have had no symptoms and tested today-bfn so feeling like this cycle
Is a flop :0( trying to stay positive, but just thinking about starting completely over is discouraging. I have had blood work done and an ultra sound, which all
Came out normal, so really don't know why I have irregular
Cycles!
Anyways, let's try to keep each other positive through this journey!!
Baby Dust!!!

Thank ladies!!

BByfever- 9dpo is still very early! Fingers crossed you get a BFP!

Eva- 14 months is so long. Hope u get u BFP soon! Have u been trying different things each cycle? I have been and geesh so much to do each time

Tuesday- I know what u mean all to well! I have been to 3 baby showers this year, both babies have just been born. A lady at work is on mat leave and due anyday. My god brother and his wife are expecting, god sister is expecting, beat friend is expecting, and I'm planning a baby shower for another friend in 3 weeks. I'm ready for my turn!


Then, most of the people who have had a baby either got it first try or were surprised as they weren't trying! One couple took a few tries as hubby worked away and another couple took 3 tries.

Here we are after almost half a year with no luck

I know, it is so hard. It is impossible to know if something is wrong at this stage. I have already looked into fertility accupunture and have an appointment this week - I want to sort my cycle out so badly! At least then I will have removed one worry. This cycle business has me concerned as it is so all over the place. I have worked out that I've got a fourteen day LP though, pretty sure about that, so at least there is no issue there ---- I think!

Babies everywhere! I am hoping that spending time around that little bubba has informed my body that it is now MY TIME! x

Yea I am seeing a naturopath as well. She is trying to de-stress me and get me slightly healthier. DH has a Cup for a semen analysis. We will put that in sometime in the next two weeks as he can't, you know, for 3-5 days. We're hoping that comes back fine.

If so, we will try a few more months till June or so, then I am going to ask for testing for me. I've been charting, working out when I o, started temping last month and still nothing. Hmph

It is, it feels like longer! My cycles are incredibly irregular and have ever since coming off birth control in september 2012. I went to the gp to get help and ive now been referred to a fs. We had our first appointment in February and they prescribed me provera to make me have a period so we could have more tests. AF was supposed to arrive 2-3 days after taking my last pill but 9 days later and she still hasnt arrived... Very frustrating!
