Trying To Conceive #1 Only Vent Thread

[Nazz4]

So got AF today, 2nd month TTC and OH had the nerve to ask me if my "ovaries are broken" Then he started talking about this girl at his work who just had her baby and is on maternity leave. I started tearing up, but didn't want him to know I was so I just looked down. I kind of dislike him right now.

Thanks to sex ed - all guys believe the girl will magically get pregnant the first time they have unprotected sex, no matter what day of the month it is.


And yeah, sometimes I think I should start drinking excessively, smoking recreationally and taking BC pills intermittently - seems to work for "everyone else" grrrrrrrrr!!

Well yeah this girl at his work... She is poor as shit, living off the government, her husband refuses to get a job, and this is their 4th kid, all accidents. Makes me want to rip my hair out.

This made me laugh! I'm on various vitamins and supplements and so is my husband, I'm on a healthy-eating regime and losing weight, I'm avoiding drinking as much alcohol, charting my temperatures, trying new positions(!) and I'm still not pregnant - how is it so easy for people who just get drunk and 'miss a pill'?!

Step-Brother, you really do know how just to piss me off.. I know I shouldn't fall for the game he plays but I can't help it, he knows where to to poke where it hurts.

My step brother is technically my ex which didn't end too well. He knows my DH and I want to be parents pretty bad and their kid is at my step brothers mother's place at the moment (my mom is dating his dad) and he couldn't help talking on the phone doing the whole " I miss my son" and went into a huge discussion about it when his dad called him while my mom and his dad were visiting.

When he was dating me, he told me he never wants to be a dad except with me (Not a case of jealousy, just why does the one who doesn't want to be a dad get that joy? He couldn't stand the idea of being a father. It took me 3 years to convince him it wasn't that bad)

You got that BFP out being tricked from your gf who said she was on the pill and stopped which it only took her 2 months after stopping! How is any of this sh*t fair?! When is the rightful people to be parents' turn?

Hi!
Im new to all of this and will not lie... for the longest time I avoid the fact that I do need help and maybe someone to "talk' to.

I have been off of the pill since august and since then I had one period ( when I was still on the pill) and one in December ( bc I did go on metformin)

I was diagnosed with PCOS last July ( even though I knew something was wrong and was in denial about it). I did get my period in December but since then I have been taking my 500mg everyday and no period

I am not good with all the slangs and acronyms...lol so please be patient with me...

I was under the assumption that some miracle was going to happen but it was really just me being in denial of how hard getting pregnant is going to be for me.

I know some of you use a TTC buddy! I thought it was a great idea!
There is so much I need to learn and to do...

I am going to start with charting. I don't even know where to start since I never got regular periods and haven't got even a sign my period is coming even being on met...

Any word on that? Are any of you on the same boat?

Idk how many of you have seen this little gem floating around Facebook but my newsfeed is infected with it!! And it won't go away!! Well as the old saying goes misery loves company, so here you go!

But seriously though we all know what labor and birthing consists of. Maybe not from experience but come on! You don't get an award for giving birth to your own child!!! The child IS your reward! And in some cases they don't even deserve that precious baby my whole point being yes labor is hard but no ones going to give you a cookie for pushing out your baby. women have been doing it since the dawn of time and nobody cares about your contractions and pain but yourself and close family.. NOT all of Facebook.

@Mstib: I feel your pain. I've been off of BC since November 2011 and have only had 3 'spontaneous' periods (spontaneous being that they happen without any medical assistance). It really makes charting a pain in the butt, because you never know when you're going to o (ovulate), if you're even o'ing, etc. My best advice, if you're going to chart, is just stick with your BBT (basal body temperature) for now, as well as paying attention to your CM (cervical mucus). I keep saying I'm going to chart, but I've never started, I just try to take note of my 'symptoms'. I'd recommend setting up an appointment with your doctor to see what they can do for you (besides the metformin). You've only been TTC for a short while, but they'll hopefully be able to help speed the process up for you. Good luck!

offically been ttc#1 for a year!!!!!!!!!! is this ever going to happen?

& to all the people i keep hearing say 'i conceived in the first month, go die. i'm sick of hearing it!

Not to worry! read somewhere a good % of couples also concieve in the 1st 18months to 2years of marriage. You just have to keep trying and get all the help and info you can

 

[tamithomas]

No only did we not get to do anything this cycle,but why does cough medicine gotta taste like pure ass? I swear Robitussin is Buckley's in disguise. Took everything to keep it down.

 

[brittany12]

just need to vent!

WHY DOES EVERYONE MY AGE OR YOUNGER THAT I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH GET PREGNANT SO EASILY AND I CAN'T??????????????????????????????? I'M SOOOO SICK OF SEEING PEOPLE ANNOUNCE THAT THEY ARE PREGNANT AND HERE I AM 17 MONTHS LATER AND STILL NOT PREGNANT! I THOUGHT I WAS TO THE POINT OF NOT CARING ANYMORE AND JUST MOVING ON TO NTNP SINCE DH AND I ARE BOTH FINE, BUT SEEING THAT FACEBOOK ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY JUST TRIGGERED THAT SPOT IN ME!!! UGHHHHHH!

thank you, that is all!

 

[tamithomas]

He or she who does not know what they're talking about should shut their trap. Especially if it's about LTTC.

Another unplanned, unprepared BFP rubbed in my face last night. Needless to say I cried myself to sleep. Good times.

My hubby and I got married in March and we started talking about babies not long after. I went off the pill in June 2012 and have been ttc since. Went to my gyno yesterday (jan. 16). They took a blood sample in order to do Day 3 Test and I am lined up to go back for another blood draw Feb. 4, what is the purpose of the 2nd blood draw? My hubby is going to give a sample of his swimmers on Mon. the 21st. We both want this so badly but am getting frustrated at hubby because I don't think he is taking all of the advice and do's and don'ts that I am telling him seriously. He also works midnights so I am hoping that that isn't throwing things off as well and there is no end in sight for him to go back on days. Is his sched. possibly messing with his hormones? Hoping everything goes well on both ends!!! I have been following my periods and ovulation with an ovulation app on my phone but not sure if I am actually ovulating when it says I am... Anxious and frustrated!

 

[AlliCat]

I feel the exact same way. Alot of my friends are getting pregnant and most if not all of them are not married and weren't planning it...

The Feb 4th is probably your progesterone test which will determine if you've ovulated or not. You can determine ovulation better by either taking your temps(charting) or by purchasing ovulation test strips.

Anyone else see that Leah and Jenelle from Teen Mom 2 are pregnant again?! Ughh! First of all Leah has twin girls from her first pregnancy and first husband, they got divorced and she remarried after only 1 year and now she is pregnant again?? Even though the show shows her struggling with going to school and taking care of her twins! And Janelle has been struggling with addiction and getting arrested over and over... she doesn't even have custody of her first kid, her mom does, because she could not take care of him properly... Why can't I have a kid, but these people can have multiple by the time they are 20???

 

[ItsMyTyme]

OMG I know how you feel.... I see the janelle all the time in walmart and even know her dealer (not for me. use to go to school) but for real she cant even take care of herself but plans on having another kid that her mom will prob end up having custody of again.

 

[tamithomas]

I avoid all of those teen pregnancy shows at all cost on principle that they should not be paid for something that shouldn't be encouraged. I know the show was made to turn teens off from pregnancy but it's only done the opposite. But that's horrible that this Janelle girl is pregnant again. How do these struggling people get it so easy? I guess I should've gotten to work for TTC as a teen or make sure I'm a druggy/drunk. Seems like it's the key to success

 

[Nazz4]

Idk, if that show turns any teen on to becoming pregnant they are crazy. Those girls are only struggling less because they are getting paid and everyone knows that. If they were not on that show they would definitely not be wanting another kid because they would be in debt already. I love how they all say, "If I had another chance I would have been more careful and waited until I was done with college and had a job to have a kid blah blah..." Yet they are at it again. Makes me wonder if they just want the publicity/more money. They're already making more money than I will when I graduate and all they did was get knocked up.

 

[cntrygrl]

I'm sorry but the United States government rolls out the red carpet for unwed pregnant women. They are instantly signed up for all kinds of free shit. They just keep popping out kids rather than getting a job. I work in staffing and I see it nonstop.

 

[MrsLemon]

A girl on my facebook... she has one child already thats currently in care... and this morning theres a pic of her positive pregnancy test.... grrr
