Trying To Conceive #1+ Vent Thread

[Boognishrises]

I feel as though I had a chemical pregnancy, is it gonna be another 5 weeks to put one in me again?!!!

The tww is really not just the two weeks....waiting to ovulate sucks too. Or wondering if you're going to ovulate at all. Wanting to BD because you're in the mood but not wanting to waste a BD pre-ovulation if its too soon because DH and I don't exactly BD like bunnies. Like I said....its really the MLW "Month Long Wait" because the way I see it...I'm waiting for something from the day AF arrive. Waiting for AF to leave...waiting for CM to change consistency...waiting for temps to change...waiting for CP to change...waiting to BD...waiting to O....Should be BD again?....waiting for temps to change again...waiting for possible implantation bleeding...waiting for AF...just saying

TTC for 7 months now but this is only my 2nd cycle after BCP wreaked havoc on my poor body..
Last month was withdrawal bleed. This month haven't seen AF so I tested with dip strips... didn't have a chance to look at it until later and there was a faint thin line, but not like the control line so I feel this is an evap line or defective test. I mean, the tests are only 80 cents a piece but they're supposed to be "super sensitive". Since testing I've been having possible symptoms but I feel like they're all in my head. TTC is so draining..

Been ttc my second baby for 23 months with 3 losses and it's just taken its toll, I feel well and truly defeated!

Also absolutely sick to death of hearing 'just relax and it will happen' and 'at least you have one child'. No I'm sorry just relaxing won't help because I have medical issues that make ttc harder like pcos and anovulatory cycles and now in pretty sure I may have low progesterone which I why I can't sustain a pregnancy. And yes I'm am more than aware I have a child and I know I am extremely blessed but that doesn't mean losing my other pregnancies should be any less devasting, it doesn't mean that I shouldn't have a need inside to want more children for my son to have a sibling and our family be complete! I really am ready to punch someone in the face with their shirty advice! Rant over...

Just struggling a bit with all the people in my life getting pregnant as I'm still in the waiting part. I'm trying not to be a total spoilsport, especially because I am actually excited for some of these ladies, but it's hard to fight the internal battle alone. Sigh.

I know how you feel. I try to be strong but after a while I'll break down

I'm ttc #5. Mine r older kids. I don't remember a lot of this. I am 10 days past ovulation. I have had some strange cervical mucus. Today my temp jumped a solid degree. They have been up and pretty stable since ovulation. I'm having a lot of symptoms but I don't wanna think they r symptoms of not. I know I'm exhausted. That's for sure. I am frustrated and moody. My bbs hurt and when I take my bra off wow. I have had some very weird dreams. I'm hopeful because of this temp jump but not wanting to be too hopeful. I have been cramping like my af is coming but that's not due for another 9 days. What do you think?

 

[kaylenicoleee]

My AF was due two days ago and I tested today and it was negative. Am I out this month?

 

[chocolatechip]

A close friend just told me she's pretty sure is pregnant but it hasn't been confirmed yet. I did not handle it very well (internally). I hate myself for feeling this way...sigh.

 

[NightFire598]

Hi all. TTC number 1. Thought it was my month but AF just showed up a day late. I was so excited I've had so many symptoms that I've never had before. Feeling crushed amd depressed. Worried that my endometriosis is hindering my ability to get pregnant.

Hi all,

I am ttc#1 for the past 20 months. I never thought ttc is going to be this hard, in fact it's really heartbreaking now. I hear a pregnancy or baby announcement literally every week. Initially I was not so annoyed but now I can't handle any of those announcements. I am really trying to keep away from these announcements but somehow it reaches me. 2 of my close friends announced pregnancy this week and 1 of my cousins had a baby.

I am feeling awful about the whole thing. It sucks! I don't like the way I m reacting but surely can't stop myself from crying. I m sure I m not alone but it feels like its just me not being lucky enough for anything. Sometimes I m so worried that I may not have a baby in my whole life.

Hi all,

I never thought ttc is going to be this hard, in fact it's really heartbreaking now. I hear a pregnancy or baby announcement literally every week. Initially I was not so annoyed but now I can't handle any of those announcements.

I am only 3 months ttc and I already have problems with envy.

I have another mini rant.

So I went in last week for a PT and it was negative as it has been for the last 2 weeks. I was experiencing soreness along with many classic symptoms, but I kept thinking I don't want to just convince myself. So I made another appointment for a week out. Today.

Got a PT : negative as I knew it would be.

First, I got poked really hard in my abdomen. "Does this hurt?" Yes! Then the exam and the doctor adamantly tells me i'm not pregnant. But the exam lasted less than a second and I feel like she just wanted to shut me up. I asked for a blood test and she refused.

So I want to believe her. I want to just throw my hands up and go 'oh well'. But it doesn't feel right. I dont even feel the usual remorse I get. Something about how she tried to convince me just felt off.

What do I do? Give up? Spiral into depression? What should I do?

Hey, I can understand how it feels when you are all hopeful and someone constantly says 'you are not'. May be if you still not convinced try to get a second opinion from another doctor, if possible. The other thing I feel is, for the doctors we are one of their many patients but for you/us, it's just you/us. That's why we feel like we are not given the best care possible. It's all normal thing to happen.

I assume you haven't got your af yet. If this not your month, wait for your af to show up and start tracking your ovulation either using opk or bbt charting. This way you can pinpoint the day of ovulation and when to take PT and also how soon or late you are in your cycle.

Good luck and stay strong. Who knows, the next cycle could be your month. Fingers crossed!

Thanks!

Still no AF and no BFP, but I have an appointment with my primary care doctor next Monday.

I have tried to relax more, but i'm still eager to find out whats wrong. I will post more when I know something concrete.

Looking forward to know your results. I have read about hcg being very low to be detected in the initial weeks but either way you need to know what's going on. We can do nothing about it, crazy stuff. Fingers crossed for you.

Hello lovely ladies !!

I have been trying to conceive for more than a year. I have had all my and hubby s tests done everything looks normal. The fertility specialist says that it s unexplained infertility. I have been charting g my cycles lately and I noticed that I ovulate very late in my cycle. For example I got my period on February 15th and started having ovulation signs (ewcm) and positive ov on March 14 which is very close to my next period. I haven t gotten my period yet but I m ovulating. I think that I ovulate every month and the Sperm&egg come together but before it can implant in the uterus I end up getting my period .. What should I do to conceive ?? I can t afford infertility treatments such as IVF IUI etc .. please someone with experience any advice !?!!

 

[musiclady1983]

Long story short, I went off birth control 2 years ago, got pregnant, had a ruptured ectopic, took a year off from trying and recently started back. I've had a normal period for almost a year now. This month, nothing. Neg. preg. test so I went to the Dr due to being paranoid from my ectopic (never felt it). Neg blood test. Absolutely no freaking reason for my period to be absent but yet again, my body fails me. I know I have no control but I feel like such a failure. It's so unfair- I am a teacher and I see students, that have no business having babies, getting pregnant and here I am, married for 7 years, established in my career and my body and God just keep saying NO (and rubbing it in my face). I'm just tired and frustrated and it will get better it just sucks right now and I don't know how to say any of this to people I know. /endrant

Hi,

It's a positive thing that you atleast ovulate on your own. If you're ovulating late in your cycle and if you do not have sufficient time to implant then it's due to Short Luteal Phase. I am sure you would have figured it out by now. Have you read about Vitex/Agnus Castus? That seems to have lot of success stories and I m taking it for the past two months for the short LP issue. I m also taking Royal Jelly capsules but nowhere near recommended dosage. Also you could try Vit B6 or pregesterone cream to lengthen your LP. Do your own research on these supplements and if you are convinced, try them. I think there is no harm in trying these supplements.

Good luck and keep posted!

Hi. I am new to this forum. I am ttc number 6. Currently on the 2ww of month 2 and it's killing me lol. Keep thinking I'll never be pregnant again which is stupid I know. Never had a problem before either. My last pregnancy was nearly 8 years ago. Anyone else trying to concieve number 6?

Thankyou for responding to my rant ! I too did my research and found out that it could be because of a luteal phase defect. I am planning to see my RE again and discuss this possibility.. My cycle and ovulation are erratic and that seems to be the only cause.. I'll look up vitex too! Willing to try anything at this point.. Everyone I know has gotten pregnant .. The pressure keeps piling
