I want a baby so bad

Thanks, Youngone!!!

Tons of baby dust to you Hopefully this is your cycle!!! Now good luck trying to hold out on testing! I'm with you on being a testaholic. DH said I wasn't allowed to buy anymore test but after being on this site I found out about the cheapies online and bought those. Now I don't feel bad about testing every day and night

My days are filled with two stages: testing and trying to not think about testing.

I did a blood test at about 5 days late which came back negative. I almost certain that I missed O'ing this month...I figure If I don't get AF my the end of the month then I'll go back to the doctors. Guess there is more waiting in store me oh goody...because clearly I handle waiting so well

I know! im hoping too! and I need all the dust I can get much appreciated!! and what site do you use to buy them and how much are they? I could save some money not buying like 6$ test for a good period of time.. lol my dh asks me "can I use one" and when I say no don't waste them he says " why that's what your doing its too early." he can just be so blunt. lol but I love him . do you check CM? Ive never tried temping but if this month is a no go I might just start. lol I know right?! I'm also terrible at waiting.. just wishing my body would give me a play by play.. I want to know whats happening.. lol

I got them off of Amazon.com. they are called Wondfo pt strips. I also had to buy the little collection cups but they were pretty cheap and I also got them off of Amazon. I got my basal thermometer and Preseed yesterday from the drug store. come on BFP!!! I know you're out there somewhere!!

I completely agree on the play by play. I swear I think I'll be qualified to be an OBGYN with all reading and researching I've been doing on getting pregnant. I'll be officially two weeks late tomorrow and no sign of AF. This morning for the heck of it I decided to take a ov test and it came back positive WTF? Dear Body, Why are you playing games with me and trying to make me crazy???

How about you? Where are you now in the wait?

I am so sick of charting and waiting to ovulate and then waiting to test and then being disappointed. I've been off BC for 9 months and not even a shadow on a test. I falsely though it would easily happen and i wouldn't need to worry. Well now i am worrying day and night and i just hate this whole process.

Plus everyone around me is getting pregnant like its nothing.

Pregnancy #5 announced at work today. There must be something in the water...but obviously I'm drinking from the wrong fountain.

Just need to vent! Cycle 4 (I know, not that bad) but just got my AF! I am so disappointed. How do people do this for a year???? I just want a BFP

 

[Lastoneleft]

I'm the last of my friends...there has to be about 15-20 children in total and it seems like they all the pregnant within a couple of months of trying. I just got my AF today on cycle 4 (still not a long time) but I swear the last two nights I didn't sleep! It's no fun waiting at all! Everyone keeps telling me to relax, it will happen. Those people all have children and some more than one. Thanks but I'd rather hear "that really sucks, how are you doing?" because it does suck!
If you find out where that water is, let me know haha.

I'm 29 with no known issues other than no exposure to sperm (I'm a lesbian) and in great overall health. I have tried 3 natural (no meds, using OPK's to track O) IUI's with frozen donor sperm- all BFN's. I just got my negative result from our SECOND medicated/monitored IUI round using Clomid, Ovidrel and Prometrium- making a total of 5 failed IUI's as of today.
I do everything right- I don't drink or smoke, I take brisk walks daily with our dogs as exercise, I use deep breathing techniques to reduce stress, I stay positive and "think pregnant thoughts". I haven't eaten lunch meat or tuna for 6 months! I can't understand what I am doing wrong, I can't understand how the leading infertility center in my area (Shady Grove) hasn't gotten me knocked up yet!
I hate that so many women get pregnant so easily! I hate hearing "It will happen when its meant to". I hate having to look at my fertility calendar before making any plans (because I might be getting my IUI that day...). I hate that my partner can't REALLY understand how I'm feeling (although, God love her, she tries). I hate that I have absolutely no one I can talk to who understands how devastating it was to hear my doctor say "You had a negative pregnancy test, again" when I knew, I just *knew* it had worked this time. I hate that I still haven't gotten my period, even though the blood test results were negative today.
I hate that even though my results were negative today, I still have this small glimmer of hope that they are wrong because I haven't gotten my period. Even though I know it's just the Prometrium delaying it... I hate this whole agonizing process.
If there is anyone out there in the same boat, or close to it, I could really use a buddy. I feel like I'm losing it here...

I'm hoping for a baby soon. Everyone says to wait, but to see everyone in the world pregnant but you, it makes "waiting" nearly impossible. Wish people would stop telling me to wait and just support me instead of trying to stop me.

I agree, but I'm on the other end of the spectrum - I'm "getting old," "don't you think you should be having kids by now?" "How are you going to keep up with a toddler, don't you know that the risk of Down's Syndrome goes up as you age??"

I wish people would support me instead of stopping me, too.

I'm sorry people are saying that to you! I really do think that some people don't realize how they come across but then at the same time if your telling them that you want kids they should leave certain comments to their selves

Hello Ladies I have been lurking around for a while...I'm 26 engaged and ttc#1. May was my first month trying but one was enough to know I'm not a NTNP kind of girl. I understand that being quite irregular (anytime between 20 - 50days) will make things harder but keep hopping for a miricle. Today I got my first BFN and in a couple of hours af arrived guess my wishful thinking was making me late. I intend to start charting BBT from tomorrow morning but I can't decide whether it's too early to visit the OBGYN or not. Any advice is welcome sorry for the rant and best of luck to all

Hi,
Just my experience here in the UK. Here doctors will not ssend you for fertility testing until you have been trying for 1year. When I started ttc, I knew something was up, as I only got periods every 7weeks or so... But they still sent me home and told me to keep tring. After about 5 months, I took ovulation tests for several weeks before my period, and saw that I did not ovulate. I went back to the doctor and they started all the hormonal testing. So if you have irregular periods, I'd recommend that you gather proof of symptoms while you are trying, and if you don't get pregnant within a couple of months, go to the doctor with evidence!

Hope this helps...

 

[Magrat]

Thank you lady124. I went to the doctor before we started ttc and he told me the same thing about the 1year trying. I'll change the doctor and gather some proofs. My fiance thinks I overthink it but I'd rather do sth than wait and worry the whole time.

Hello I was wondering if anyone could help, I'm so sure I was ovulating last week and test told me when I was at peak last Tuesday so nearly a week ago, I don't know why but I did a random ov test on Sunday and it showed high fertility, same again today but when I looked at the stick it's not exactly a blue line, anyone seen this before? I've attached a photo.

I had abundances of cm last week and nothing at all at the moment, thinking to continue bd'ing but have heard that's not a good idea in 2ww!

Wow, it is amazing how many of your friends are medical doctors! Oh wait, they aren't? And they aren't your doctor? Then they should stuff it!!!

[These kind of comments from 'friends' and family make me so mad! Don't worry though, we are here to support you!]
