Trying To Conceive #1 Only Vent Thread

[cntrygrl]

You're Welcome

So baffled and frustrated right now. Finally thought I had o'd, after not o'ing for close to a year, but either my timing was off or my system is more screwed up than I knew. Thank you AF, for showing up a week early when I thought I might be getting a bfp.

Some people claim that they know they have conceived right away. How do you know? What does it feel like? How are you supposed to feel? How do some people know the moment that it happens that it actually happened...?

Hi, why is it right around the time we need to BD the OH is ill and not in the mood!!!!! Grrr, after all the disgusting grapefruit juice I've been drinking and not having my weekend glass of wine either. Sooo annoyed right now!!!
Apologies for the mini rant

Allicat, I would say the have no idea... They're just being hopeful and symptom spotting like everyone else. But they just get lucky and get their BFP.

@Allicat: I don't have personal experience to draw from, but I always thought if I were to "know" right off the bat, it'd be kind of like knowing the instant AF starts. For me, when AF starts (before I can actually see it), I've always gotten this funny little cramp when it starts. It was never painful, just always felt a little... odd.

Decided to quit smoking again, it's been 12 hours and I wanna something (not literally). I quit for six months then started up again when I M/C in August. Time to stop using that as a crutch and get back to smoke free me. I just wanna rip my hair out atm. It will pass once I hit 24 hours like last time I quit. For now it's claw marks on the walls lol. After all, better do the quitting now volunteraly then do it by necessity if we get another bfp. Easier to do it by choice.

I find the first few days the easiest. It is 3 weeks later that I really, really want one! (Work stress is part of it)

I'm the same as my dad: first day I'm practically walking on the ceiling i'm so aggitated then suddenly after about 24-48 hours it's like I never smoked in my life lol. Dad quit after 30 years of smoking over night when Canada decided to sky rocket the taxes over night. First 2 days don't talk to him, the suddenly it's like he never smoked and he worked at a bar where at the time smoking was still legal inside.

My DH smokes a fair amount and I have no problem being around those who smoke since my whole family does. Best trick that works for me is every time I feel for one I grab a glass of water and start sipping on it or eat a piece of fruit. It distracts you so that by the time you're done drinking or eating the craving had passed. You avoid smoking and you add to your h20/vitamins for the day. Win/win situation lol.

Ugh... I am so tired of guessing and following an ovulation calendar. According to my calendar my most fertile day is the 26th however last night and this morning I am experiencing a pain in what I think is my right ovary. Is it possible that my egg was released either last night or this morning instead of this coming saturday. Hubby didn't feel like doing anything last night but luckily when he got home from his overnight shift this morning I woke up to him. I hope we didn't miss the window... What do you all think? We are going to continue doing our thing until about the 28th if hubby stays in the mood and follows the plan...

Ladies I am on day 5 of no smoking and about to pop! I do ok for the most part, but I am soooo anxious! I go tomorrow for IUI and then start my TWW (which for me is actually 3 weeks) I did the same thing- started smoking again after my MC in Jan 2012 and have quit and started all year after disappointments TTC... Its SO hard to quit! Good luck to you both!

Hi there! I'm new here. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for the past 4 months. Not very long I know. I haven't been to see a doctor yet to make sure if everything is okay. Just trying to see if it can happen on it's own. I decided to give it until the end of March before I see someone. Like all the other months I'm hoping this is the one!

 

[CakeCottage]

Sam10, if you're in the UK your GP won't really do much before you've been trying 12 months! X

Don't stress just yet. Even healthy couples can take up a year,maybe two. GL.

 

[bubbahope]

Can someone please help me...I am so confused! I have started using OPK's for the second month and last month I had a positive result for 2days and this month it has been positive for 5days!! I really don't understand this...has this happened to anyone else??

 

[ItsMyTyme]

Aaaahhh I feel as if I am completely losing my mind!!! **pulls hair out** I hate symptom spotting due to this exact reason! Every month I am like clock work! When I was younger I could count the hr that AF would show up! Fast forward through 7 years of trying and granted yes there are going to be changes but still I am like clock work every 28 days (sometimes a day earlier or later) but still around that time all sorts of impending AF are there! Well 6 months of Clomid and something is different. I chalked it up to the chance that it thinned my uterine lining and the spotting for 3 consecutive months (Never spotted a day in my life! always 5 days starting heavy then tapering off) sorry TMI!
Now on my fourth cycle I am 3 DAYS LATE!!! It is driving me crazy! I'm cramping as if AF is already here! I'm not even drying out as I would normally with AF! I'm gassy and emotional! **I cried watching American Idol last night and the guy was just singing** UGH! I keep telling myself that this is just a thin lining but that little voice in the back of my head keeps saying "Why would it be tapering off each month?" Why oh why can it not just come if it is coming?!? I don't want to go get a test as I certainly can't deal with getting my hopes up, which are already on their way, as I have NEVER and I repeat NEVER NEVER been this irregular! and after almost 7 years of trying getting my hopes up and having them come crashing down turns me into an emotional nutbag! I'm sorry for that little vent I just feel that after this long I would have had some sort of good news but at the same time I just keep making myself more nuts!

Hi ladies,
Me n my hubby have been trying to concieve for 6 months.My last periods was on dec23.I have been cramping mildly frm 2 days and i thought it was because of gas,also have lower back pain but no other symptoms.My periods have been delayed just by 3 days..I took a clear blue pregnancy test today morning and it says pregnant. can the pregnancy test detect this early?Are these tests accurate?Although we have been ttc I am so scared now and freaking out!!Can I really be pregnant?

 

[wellsk]

It certainly sounds like you are pixie dust... Clearblue is very accurate and they can tell around the time of your missed period. Congrats!

A great place to post this would be on the tww, two week wait, this thread is for venting, sharing feelings that aren't usually so happy.

Good luck.

Really need advice!! So DH and I have been having some issues, mainly about him going out with his friends and I want him to spend more time at home. So anyways tonight we got invited by our friends/ neighbors to come to their house for dinner. I'm really close with the wife but sometimes it's hard to be around them because they have a toddler and she is also pregnant. On several occasions we have gone over there and DH will leave early and ditch me to go out with his friends which is extremely rude and inconsiderate. (Btw they live right across the yard so we walk there, didn't want you to think DH took the car and stranded me). Anywho so tonight they invite us and of course DH would rather go out to a club with all his single buddies than spend time with another family or just stay home with me. So here's the part I need advice on

I tell him "you're a family man now and you need to spend more time with your family!" Then he says

"We're not even a real family!"

So of course the first thing I say is "Why because we don't have kids we're not a real family?" And he was just silent he didn't say anything.

So I stormed out of the room and locked myself in the spare room (which just made it worse because I wish it was a nursery instead) and he runs after me and says he meant we didn't feel like a family because he works a lot so we don't see each other enough. But he's home for lunch everyday and he's off work and home for good by 6!! There's no way that's what he meant!!

So I'm pissed off because here I am taking Metformin and dealing with side effects and on this emotional roller coaster because I feel guilty that I'm "the problem" and he goes and says that to me!

Do you ladies think I'm over reacting? I don't feel like I am but there's always a small chance that I'm just not getting it so..
