Well, it's a good thing I didn't take a test....AF started this morning. Oh well, there is always next month.

TTC #1. I'm 10 dpo today. Took a test this morning and got a BFN. It's so disheartening. Even though I've read stories where women got BFP after there BFN. I'm just feeling a little hopeless today.

I would probably start with charting, trying to figure out when exactly you ovulate. Basal Body Temping/Temperature/Thermometer (BBT). You can buy one from any pharmacy. Just make sure it is a Basal Body Thermometer.

Sign up for Fertility Friend (FF). And Chart there. You can click on my chart to get an idea of what to expect. Please excuse this last cycle as I have not been charting faithfully due to personal/family emergencies.

Paying attention to your cervical mucus (CM). Egg White Cervical Mucus (EWCM) literally looks like egg whites. Watery CM is very wet. Those two types are considered to be fertile CM which means you soon will ovulate or you are currently ovulating. Pay attention to that.

These are just for starters. The more you visit the forums, the more you will read about others stories and you will pick up different strategies to help make your baby making attempts successful.

I've come here to share my burdens and maybe find some advice. Well we know now that there's pretty much no chance for us to conceive naturally I'm still hoping that the drugs DH is taking will make us viable for IUI but the doctor said it's very unlikely. I'm so sad and afraid. Especially of all those hormones... I couldn't even use hormonal contraception because of migranes and now there's not going to be any choice. (Ironic, since appearantly we did't even need any contraception). And of course I've read all about possible side effects of IVF... We have been trying to conceive till last october. I know it isn't much, but I just KNEW something was wrong pretty much after three cycles. Sixth-sence feeling. DH said I was just very impatient but finally in july we went to the doctor. Just generic gynecologist. She sent DH to have his swimmers tested and then did some tests on me - echo, hormones and stuff. She didn't find anything wrong with me, but after we came with DH's test she sent us straight to the specialists. And here we are now. I know you are supposed to wait for a year, but I advise anyone who has that nagging feeling - go check yourselves. It will probably be costly, but time is even more valuable in these cases. And someone with axperience with IVF - can you tell me what to expect and what do you do to fight the nerves?

Seriously depressed. Started period spotting. Jealous of everyone with a baby that I know in my circle of family and friends which seems to be everyone. Hating on my body and its refusal to conceive. Actually annoyed with the clinic as they won't allow more than one egg to grow even though it would improve my chances. Left tube blocked. Keep ovulating on my left side. Feel totally gutted and like people are enjoying my misery as it makes them feel better.

Really dont know if I can keep dealing with these AFs every month.

Hello Everyone, I am new to this site. I have been trying TTC for four months now. I think even at that short time I am already discouraged. My twin sister tryed once and got pregnant right away. So Frustrating!!!

 

[hmpinma]

Hi MackyEm, I am also new to this site. I just started using the digital ovulation tests this month. They were expensive but I don't care as long as they work! I will keep ya posted. My husband is also the same way. Every month that goes by and I get my period I cry. He just says don't stress. If you stress it won't happen. But I want it so badly!

Hi MackyEm, you are not alone in wanting a baby yesterday. My husband also just feels t will happen when t happens. My sister just had her second a couple months ago and a friend of mine just told me she's pregnant. I want to know what they're drinking eating doing so maybe my time will come.
Good luck! It feels good to know I'm not alone.

I never even wanted a baby, and then after a recent miscarriage it's all I can think about. And then a get a big FUCKING negative? How is this even fair? I have all the symptoms. I've been miserable and excited that I was miserable and now it's all for nothing? I've been "trying" to conceive for 8 fucking years.

I was diagnose with PCOS at 16, but I worry my inability to get pregnant is a result of sexual abuse I suffered for the first 10 years of my life. I didn't want to bring a kid into this world but now It's all I can think about.

I'm so fucking angry and sad, I can't stop crying and no one I know can relate. No one on here seems to be able to relate thus far either. I feel so alone and so crushed.

Fuck it, I'm just gonna get 70 cats.

I am so very sorry to hear about your awful childhood. Hugs

My husband and I have been married almost a year and want to start trying. I'm going on cycle #3 and I know I haven't been ttc-ing long but I get so anxious during the wait. I just want to see my BFP, because I'm honestly scared that we'll ttc for a year or more and then find out something is wrong with either of us.

 

[madetomother]

I don't understand how the seemingly most unhealthy, lackadaisical women who exist on McDonald's caliber food and Jack Daniel's and a smorgasbord of pharmaceuticals just look at a man's crotch, any man's crotch, and get pregnant...multiple times..... {/rant}

 

[VTfroggie]

Nine months of TTC and AF shows up again this morning, after being 2 days late. I'm seriously ready to throw in the towel. I was so excited when AF was a day late b/c that hadn't happened before and AF's arrival didn't appear to be headed my way (at least until last night). I told DH last night that I don't even know how to prepare for a BFP anymore, I always just assume AF is going to show and immediately begin planning for the next month of trying.

I'm tired of seeing baby pictures on facebook. Tired of hearing about everyone and their sister getting pregnant. Tired of seeing people post on here that they got their BFP after one or two months of trying. And I'm REALLY tired of being asked when DH and I are gonna have kids.

Hi all,

I just got news that a friend's girlfriend got pregnant accidentally. It's really hard news to hear, because they're both struggling to make ends meet and a baby wasn't in their plans. They're keeping it and they're happy; and I'm happy for them.

But it hits me pretty hard, because my boyfriend and I have been trying for our first the last 7mos, and we haven't gotten a positive. We're ready for a child in our life, and it's just not happening.

I'm angry at myself, I feel like I'm being punished for never, ever wanting a baby before I met my current partner. I hated kids so much. Then I met him and now I want a family with him.

But it's just not happening.

 

[mindylou]

Hello, I'm new to this forum! My husband and I have only been TTC for 3 months BUT we've been together for 9 years and been married 4 years! I knew I wanted kids as soon as I met him, but we've been waiting for the right time in our lives (and mostly for DH to be ready I don't feel like it's been 3 months of TTC.. it seems like 9 years because we've waited so long trying to plan our lives for the perfect moment. And it's so frustrating to find out that it's a lot harder than people make it out to be! We should have been trying a lot sooner. Now I feel like my life is on hold! I didn't apply for teaching jobs because I didn't want to start a new career and then leave a year later. I don't regret my decision, but each month that passes is so frustrating because I know I could be teaching and gaining experience. I feel like I live a normal life for 2 weeks before O, and then I slug around for the 2ww not having any motivation to do anything until I get AF.

And isn't it so frustrating to see couples come together, get married and have babies in like all but 2 years and you get to watch and try to convince yourself that you're doing the right thing and being responsible by waiting until... fill in the blank (you graduate, get a job, get married, buy a house ect. ect.) I'm angry that I waited. I wish I found this forum sooner so hubby and I knew what we were getting into... that baby making is not always rainbows and butterflies like these seemingly over-fertile couples that surround us!

I know my problems are so small and early in the game for me to complain, but I just needed to vent! Thanks!

I know this feeling! A friend of mine got this old, falling apart house that was at least 100 years old that they were going to try and flip for a ton of money (to which they had absolutely none) and suddenly they up and decide "Hey, why not add a baby to the mix for fun?" You're going to add a child into the world....for fun?

I get your pain. How come it's so easy for them and not for us? Like yourself, I too have been planning for the better part of a year to get pregnant and be ready for a child in our lives and it's such a disappointment when it doesn't happen. I don't get how the immature, dumb people can conceive in a moment's notice leaving the rest of us perpetually hanging. This is why I cannot watch Teen Mom.

I hope it happens for you. Best of luck.
