Trying To Conceive #1 Only Vent Thread

[Lazydaisys]

I have suffered heartache from Facebook scans, tests, baby news. Now I know how upsetting it is for others I vow never to do this if I am fortunate to ever get pregnant and stay pregnant.

Baby pics I can cope with. Although today's new arrival facebook post has made me insanely jealous

TTC #1 is so freaking hard & confusing. The symptoms we get that in our minds think pregnancy but its actually our body & mind fucking with us.

We can google everything & thing we know what's going on when at time we actually don't.

UGH!

I been using opk & they came out positive for four days including today & I barely have cm. TTC is so confusing & hard!!

Took a break from ttc after our wedding so if we got lucky then I wouldn't be too far gone to fly out for our honeymoon, but back to ttc now

Sooooo frustrated from last weekend. I was at an Ann Summers party for my cousin's hen night and her sister decided to shout in a room full of people that I should buy some sexy lingerie and spice things up because that's why we weren't getting pregnant

Thankfully no fb scans etc here ( apart from one lady on here who I'm super chuffed for as she's been through such a lot so always smile when I see her updates ), though I'm expecting an influx of pregnancy announcements etc now I've said that

Dear youtube:

I know about ClearBlue Digitals, stop bombarding me with ads for it. Advertisements are for people who don't know about a certain product. Believe me, I do..I know about this certain product all too well.

I hate that your ad is about a happy accident bfp as well. Why can't pregnancy tests finally acknowledge lttc'ers? You know like a commercial where you see a couple going through the heart break of the testings and the invasive doctors appointments and at the end it shows a woman with a bfp and it says "ClearBlue, there for you when your dream finally comes true".

I should be a writer for those ads.

Love your idea completely agree. I swear all through the dreaded tww & during AF all I see are hpt commercials it's quite annoying.

Hi guys I'm pretty new to this just looking for some support.

Me and my husband got married in March and I have been off the pill since May. My periods came back to regular immediately and have been regular every 27 days without fail. Me and my hubbie have been actively trying since September - been checking ovulation using OPK and trying to time BD using this. Taken supplements, everything. Feel like I'm doing everything right, but no luck:nope
Feel so down, I know it's only been 3/4 months but I expected to conceive straight away. Starting to think all kinds of things are wrong with me!!!

Hi - this is my first post and I have joined this forum because I needed somewhere to get support and vent after almost 1 year TTC.

I am surrounded by babies and pregnancies! So many of our friends and everybody on facebook seems to be having babies. I go into baby shops almost every 2 weeks at the moment to buy a present for another friend who has had a baby. I love those shops but it is just another reminder that I can't get pregnant.

I'm getting good at smiling and faking congratulations and then finding a bathroom for a quick cry!

My job is also absolute torture. I work in pediatrics and one of my main jobs at the moment is looking after the newborns in the nursery and doing the newborn baby checks on the perfect and adorable babies. It is really really hard. I have had a few breakdowns in the toilet at work as well!

BD'd yesterday just in case even though the best would have been over the weekend. Officially 2 weeks to wait. If AF shows up it will be between Christmas day and New Years Eve. It's going to be either a terrible Holiday or the best start of a new year. Preparing for the first one in advance.

 

[Hannah56]

I'm due on New Year's Eve - would be amazing start to new Year

 

[crayons]

I was so very convinced that November was going to be our month. So very, very convinced. AF came and was super light so I drove myself absolutely crazy researching implantation bleeding, decidual bleeding, and any stories of women who had "periods" throughout. It was ridiculous. BFN everyday.

And now...with Christmas/holiday travels...I seriously doubt we'll have a single private moment during my "window".

Here's hoping to January?

Thought I would introduce myself.. I'm 22 my fiancé is 22 also, we are both fairly healthy, we both smoke cigarettes( trying to quit) that's it. I got off birth control last August. I was on the depo shot, hated it. We're you're typical young couple, so we do the dance every day or every other day atleast... At we've been ttc since July this year, still nothing????? What is wrong??? This month were going to try mucinex, prenatal vitamins, I've already been taking them, and using preseed and doing opks. I had a horrible molar pregnancy when we were 15, yea were high school sweet hearts, I was 15 weeks and hadnt told my parents yet..but I knew something was wrong when I would bleed brown stuff when we would have sex, well by that time I had the uterus of a 24 week pregnant woman... How I was able to hide it I have no idea as I was 5'1 and weighed 90 lbs.. Lol. So I had to have a DNC... I wonder if that's what's preventing us from getting pregnant

 

[Beebs813]

I had to finally get off Facebook, it seemed like every day someone was posting that they're pregnant or posting pictures of their newborn. I'd rather just live in my own little world.

Hi everyone!
So a little bit about my experience.....I was diagnosed with PCOS in February. I haven't had an ultrasound of my ovaries yet but my doctor was able to diagnose me by my symptoms. I also just found out that my hubby has some abnormal sperm. I'm not sure what percentage because we have an apt with a Urologist next week. My OBGYN referred him to a urologist after his semen analysis came back abnormal so now we are waiting to find out more about that. I had a miscarriage on April 1st of this year and have been trying really hard to conceive since! AF got back to normal in June and has been normal since; up until last month. I usually have a normal 6 day period, although last month it came and lasted 8 days, was a lot lighter, and I didn't cramp at all. I went to get blood work to make sure I wasn't having another MC but the hcg was negative so that was a good thing. However, My period hasn't come back and my doctor had me come in to take the day 21 progesterone to see if I ovulated and I didn't. Sooooo, he prescribed me Provera to "jumpstart" my period and Clomid to take on the 3rd day of my period when the Provera starts to work. The bad thing is...the Provera isn't working yet. I took it last Wednesday so it has been 8 days and my doctor told me that it should start within 5 days after I started it. He actually prescribed me Provera 10mg qty 5 and he told me to take all 5 pills at once. Everything else that I have read about people taking Provera has said that they were prescribed to take it once a day for 5/10 days so I'm confused as to why he would've had me take them all at once. Has anyone ever been told to take all 5 pills at once??
Thanks so much and lots of baby dust to you all!!

help help

Hi
Now,
According to my ovulation calendar my fertile window was 2 December - 7 December. I had sex 30 November and 1 December first question is what are my chances of getting that all important BFP?

Second question- i had spotting 3 December , 5th December and a tiny bleed on 7/12 which started red for a few hours then went brown.
Since then nothing but cramps, bloatedness, stuffed noses and heavy boobs. I'm due on the 19th and bleeding mid cycle is very uncommon for me. I usually spot directly before AF. I usually have sharp pains in my ovaries when I'm due but haven't had it this month **touch wood**
And to be honest I just generally feel pregnant hence why im symptom spotting so much lol.

I think I might be reading too much into it because I'm nervous/wanting this to happen but...
Yeah.
Help?

Additional Details::
the spotting on the 3rd was when i wiped there was a tiny bit of blood on it and on the 5th was the same. the 7th was a light red i thought i was coming on 2 weeks early

My fiance and I have been DTD EVERYDAY for about 2 months now lol. I just stopped my depo it'll be 3month in January. I'm hoping my body decides it want to have a baby now too. lol Haven't seen AF yet but hoping she comes soon. I'm so impatient, my best friend just found out and she wasn't even trying ! Just so impatient to have my little one !!!! Wouldn't mind making some friends or just having some people to go through this with .

 

[tamithomas]

That awkward moment when you're suddenly lactose and coffee intolerant where each sip makes you wanna barf but you're only 5dpo so it's impossible to be bfp symptoms. fml, what the heck is going on with my body now? Because IF isn't enough, now something else is going on. Guess it's caffeine and milk product detox for a few days...

I'm in this boat too. I'm almost 2months since my shot expired and no sign of AF yet. I'm so impatient!

Losing hope for a Christmas bfp I'm only 7dpo but I think I already see the ending

I've been cramping for more than a week. I feel like I starving all the time no matter how much I eat! I still get nauseous and sometimes vomit but yet I still got a bfn. AF is due Thursday.

I'm getting sick and tired not getting pregnant. I'm stuck getting pictures of my cousins baby(she gave birth Tuesday) &+ I spent the day talking about baby names and her surprise baby shower with a friend. Somebody shoot me now ir feed me some baked chocolate chip cookies to make me feel better!!
