Trying To Conceive #1+ Vent Thread

[_TrueLove_]

Okay. so my husband and I were trying for baby number two. so I took out the implanon on December 20. I received my period on the December 25th. Then on the 6th of January i began to spot pinkish/brown blood. That lasted for 5 days. I google and it was a sign i was ovulating. I've been charting my ovulation. it was the 8th if January. my husband and I baby danced the January 4th, 5th,6th. But he had a training out of town so he had the leave Sunday night the six. my period is due January 22nd. But hasn't showed. I'm overly tired. I'm crampy. and slight headaches. always hungry lately.gassy and bloated. I took a test on 19th in the morning. it was negative tho. I also took a test on the 25 and that was NEGATIVE. Could I be pregnant? did I test too early? When should I test?

Dangit - just when I thought my periods were regulating... This month, I was expecting a 34 day cycle, Monday being D-day. Today was Day 13 in my Luteal phase (Day 32 of cycle).

This morning I felt period pains (and I've never felt them before coming on), and then I came on a few hours later. So I had my shortest Luteal phase, unless I got my ovulation date wrong. So disappointed again Wine is helping though!

On to third round of Clomid I guess...

Today has been a hard day. 7dpo and feeling really depressed. Looking at past cycles and comparing them to this cycle, I really don't see any difference. Timing has always been good, CM is good, luteal phase is nice and long. So why should I have a reason to think this might be the month? I don't. And it makes me want to scream at the universe. In my life there is nothing I've wanted more than to carry a baby. I've thought about it every day since I was old enough to know that women could do that. I still cannot shake this feeling that pregnancy is something that only happens to other people. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I feel like I am never meant to experience the one single thing I've always wanted to experience. Which makes me wonder why I bother even living. What is the point of life if not to fulfill your dreams? I hate my life.

I understand why you think this way, but you shouldn't hate your life. My husband tell ourselves that if things don't work out in the long run, we will adopt, hopefully an orphan, or even help the system by being a foster family for younger children. I understand it is not the same as carrying a child inside you, but when you think about the reasons you really want to carry a baby, in the end, you want the child in your arms. I just think you shouldn't give up on your dream, but in the long run, you may have to adjust it! Good luck!

I dont get it..... anyway, still no af..... I havent bothered re testing as I got so excited then crushed, but the last 3 days I have had af like cramps but still NOTHING....... WARNING TMI, I checked my CP, and its High and soft, CM is white creamy, I feel WET down there, Im more emotional than I usually am, im a lot more tired than I usualy am, and my boobs hurt. (only a little bit) more like an ache). Im so confussed. why would I get a possitive then a negative beta, and STILL no AF.......... ughhhhh. driving me insain!!!! any advice or ideas or guestimations even, would help!!!!~ thanks for listening@!

Sorry your feeling like this.
How long have you been ttc and do you have any fertility issues?
Hope you get your bfp soon.

Hi ladies, just joined today, and couldn't figure out how to post a new message so had to do a reply. I'm 37, been married almost 7yrs with a 4yr old and two MCs one before and one after (last summer at about 10 weeks). Seems no matter what I do AF still shows up faithfully. All tests are fine except i have fibroids which dr said should be ok. Tried clomid but stopped cos couldn't stand the side effects. Everyone says don't think about it and it'll just happen but can't seem to think about anything else. Any thoughts?

 

[Yaya01]

I can relate to that. Every month is the same but take heart. I'd about just given up hope before I had my DD. So it is possible even when it doesn't seem like it. Not really much people can say to you because you are the one going through it but while there's life there's definitely hope. Talk to your dr about your options and look very hard to find something positive to focus on and keep you distracted and occupied. Don't give up hope cos without hope, don't know what else is there.

Sorry, meant for turtlettc

I keep finding myself envious whenever I see or hear about people around me being pregnant, when I just can't seem to get pregnant...

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Was this always ttc #1 + vent? I never noticed the #1 part before. I'm sorry for posting in here.

it's for #1+, meaning anyone trying to conceive their first or second child and beyond.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Ohhhhhh
I thought it meant it was for people who were trying to conceive AND vent.

(Venting is usually easier than conceiving, isn't it? )

 

[hlamb]

Here to vent one last time... Can't seem to shake these feelings of envy. It's been even worse with my husband lately because I just can't seem to stand to be around him. Or let me re-phrase... We can't seem to get along. Never felt this way before... And I'm sure it's all because of our trouble trying to conceive. Two more of my friends have found out they're pregnant. Out of wedlock, of course... Struggling with my faith with God now. I don't get how He works. Started our first round of Clomid and I really don't see any changes in my cycle. CP and CM are the same... No signs of O'ing. I'm so tired of people telling me "we want this too bad" or to wait until the time is right. Yeah? Well, you try being married and wanting a child for so long and can't find any luck any where. I was fooled in November and December by thinking maybe I was pregnant. AF didn't show. Provera finally was prescribed and that brought her around for sure. Worse AF visitation yet. :/ When will I EVER get my shot at being a mom!?!

 

[imaginary8x]

Not due on till next week but I feel like I'm already out.

 

[turtlettc]

Big 'ol temp drop today. Just like every month on cd26. Just lying in bed crying my heart out. I never knew it would be this hard. I don't know if I can do this any longer. My little heart can't take it. My soul is crushed.

 

[turtlettc]

Since writing that post I've just received a text saying that a friend had her baby this morning. I love getting news like that about a girl who got pregnant on her first try while I'm lying in bed crying about not being pregnant again.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Oh my goodness, hun.
Big big
That's crushing.
Sometimes you just have to step back from it all and take a break.
(And maybe shut off your phone!)
Sending you lots of and hoping it happens for you soon.

 

[babyandme36]

thank you for the submissions. has anyone gone to a fertility clinic before?

 

[turtlettc]

GUESS WHAT! Another friend had a baby last night. Her 3rd. And she supposedly doesn't even have any ovaries.

According to her, they were removed several years ago and it should be impossible for her to have children. Of course she is a devout Christian and believes that god has blessed her with children despite her lack of ovaries because I guess she is so deserving to be a mother.

When I asked her what she believes god's plan is for couples who are infertile, she said she thinks that god doesn't want them to be parents and that they should find another life calling.

Maybe I will take up a trade. Like carpentry, or electrical engineering.
