Trying To Conceive #1 Only Vent Thread

[tamithomas]

AF cramps but still no AF. So frustrating! It's weird but I find myself even more PO from the late AF considering chances of conception are zero then when it would be late after a cycle of ttc. It has no bloody excuse to be late. Just start already for love of man kind. I don't know if it's AF hormones but have found myself crazy mood swings today. Will get aggitated pretty easily at the pin drop of anything. I usually don't deal with PMS.

I have done absolutely nothing different this month. Even DH joked today saying that we should pick up a test. I just want this whole mess to go back to normal. Why can't my body work how it's supposed to?

Finally! AF hit. Never thought I'd be relieved to see it. Was tired of being in limbo. Hope that it doesn't become a norm and that it was simply an off cycle. GL to you all who are still in!

Yay for being out of limbo.... That was me last cycle.... Thought i was 16 DPO when my luteal phase is 11/12 days but When I reviewed my chart I actually O later. FF changed my crosshairs on me! And it was only 12 DPO. Took so many tests in those 5 days!!! Lol. At least you can start fresh now

Good luck

Hang in there. I've been there. Thought I missed my chance this month but then got my CH at a different day than I thought. You never know till AF shows. I'm sorry you're having a rough day, at least you're not crazy: we've all been there!

Good luck

Feeling nauseous today. Don't really think it's a sign of a BFP, just kind of feeling down. Had a good friend give birth to her little boy this morning. He's beautiful, of course. It's just so hard to see any babies and not feel empty inside.



DF thinks I am taking everything to seriously. I know I need to relax, but it's just hard. I think I am in a fairly bad place right now. I can't even muster up the courage to BD anymore. Mostly because I feel like it's for nothing. I hate feeling so blah and down. Trying so hard to keep my head up. Kinda can't wait to start my new job on March 18th. So that way when AF shows, I'll have something to keep my mind totally occupied. I'll be getting married on October 5th of 2013..so this month was kinda my last chance to have a baby before then. Maybe I'll focus on my Wedding a bit more too??

Hope all you lovely ladies are having an amazing day and if you're BD'ing anytime soon....tons and tons of...

Soonest appointment for an ultrasound could be 5 weeks. What the heck am I meant to do with myself for 5 weeks?!?!
Every test I do comes back negative, so where is AF?!?!
42 days late for no reason is RIDICULOUS. Haven't had a proper period in over 16 weeks.
GAAAAHHHH!!

25 days late. Took a First Response just now. No sign of a second line. Guess there's something wrong with me. I hate this. I'm 26 I shouldn't be having problems like this! I don't even want to try anymore. My husband doesn't seem to really care either way anymore. I have no one to talk to about this. I feel really alone.

I know how you feel. My husband just sits quietly and listens about the TTC stuff but I get no responce. He says that he really can't relate so he does not have an opinion about late periods and hormone levels ect. And I don't share the really tmi stuff CM types, ect. These forums are the only thing really helping me get it off my chest.

Same here! I am 21 days late! I keep having annovulatory cycles... My DH doesn't understand any of the ttc stuff... Try some parsley tea that is supposed to help bring on a period!

 

[Sam10]

I get the ol' "our grandparents didn't have to do stuff like this, they just had babies". Yeah, thanks honey that makes me feel sooooo much better. It makes me so angry. I had my period on a regular schedule after not having it anywhere near that for 7 years and now this. There's that small part of me that still thinks maybe I'm one of those women who can not get a positive hpt when pregnant. I wish that small part wasn't there because the odds of that being the case are so slim. All my friends are around my age. Every single one of them have at least one kid. Here I am...no clue what I'm doing wrong. I really feel like jumping off of something today.

Nadia I know how you feel, my husband just listens too and says i'm too obsessed

 

[Sunnyleah]

My husband is the same. Don't get me wrong, he tries to "support me" but in reality has no idea what's going on. He will hug me when I cry and "listen" to me talk but doesn't show any interest in what I've learned about my self, my body and fertility. I have to believe that he really cares but doesn't understand. He keeps saying "when the times right"

Hang in there everyone! We will all find a way to our bundle of joy

Got AF! well, it's not a natural AF it's withdrawal bleeding but it means I responded to the progesterone so yay!

Now for my rant..
If you're going to teach teenagers about sex tell them EVERYTHING! Not just the parts you think will scare them into abstaining!! Seriously most sex Ed goes like this "All it takes is ONE TIME to get pregnant .. Here's a list of STDs! Everybody take a condom. The end."

Honestly, as some one who got married right out of high school, it would have been helpful to know at least a little something about infertility. I mean I knew that some people couldn't have kids but other than the age factor I really didn't know any reasons WHY. And even though I knew something wasn't right with my cycles, I was absolutely gutted when I was diagnosed with a condition I had NEVER even heard of before but apparently had already been suffering from for YEARS. I think it's a shame that i could define every STD in the book but words like Amenorrhea, Annovulatory, Endometriosis, Low motility, Azoospermia, and PCOS weren't even in the books!!

It's a shame that young men and women everywhere are being blind sided by their infertility because the adults around them decided not to tell the whole truth. and the truth is theyre trying so hard to scare them into abstinence that they end up leaving them devastatingly uneducated about reproduction and fertility. And that's no good for anybody.

Edit to add: I'm not saying to go around giving tips to teens on how to become more fertile or scaring them into thinking they can't have kids or anything like that. But just like my post says, there's a whole other side to reproduction that's being left out here and it's causing more harm than good in the long run. Sadly there will always be sexually active teens and teen pregnancy. ultimately it's up to parents to raise their kids with morals, ethics, religion etc. and that's what will play the biggest role in whether or not they have sex. But when it comes to educating them on the FACTS, I think EVERYTHING should be taught.

Argh!! Ill again!!! This is the THIRD cold in four weeks! One of them completely messed up my cycle last time so I'm so frustrated becaus so think this means I'm out this cycle too what is wrong with my body? That's not normal!!!

in my sex ed it was like less than an hour. it was younger people are more get pregnant on the their first time. and you can get stds.

we didnt learn about condoms birth control anything really. i was so confused thank god my husband knew what he was doing because i had no clue at all.


now for my rant i can not wait til we have our house hopefully at the end of this year by the latest. i can not stand roommates especially when they hover over your shoulder when your cooking. and that is why your dinner was not as good as everyone else. counting the days till we get to move out of here and hopefully with a baby on the way.

I really love the show Grimm and was so happy that it returned. However, today was NOT the day for them pull what I hate the most in shows. The "one night stand = bfp"/ Woman purposely tried to TTC with the man without him knowing and succeeded stunt. Last thing I want to see when I've had about 6 Advil's through the course of the day and curled up in a ball. Not to mention, so unrealistic how she gets the BFP not even 2 days later. I know it's just a show but c'mon..make it a bit more realistic!

We also watch Grimm. Love it! My DH is away so well be watching that episode tomorrow night. It's one of my pet peeves how much they skew stuff like that. A little is ok (it's tv) but sometimes it's like 'seriously?' Lol

Whoops, sorry for the mini spoiler. At least I didn't put in names lol. But yea if they're going to make those kinds of storylines at least make it believable even if it's in a show about mystical creatures
