Hi I am a newbie to this site. We have been trying since last July and it is getting rather frustrating and upsetting now. I am looking for some ladies to share this journey with.
Hi EmHart I know how you feel- I've been ttc since October 2010 and I am finding it so hard!!! U never think it's going to take this long do you?! That makes it even more frustrating! I've managed to convince myself that something is wrong with me now- not a good way to look at it I know! It probably wont make you feel much better but they say it can take the average couple (with no problems) up to a year to conceive- it took my mum 9 months with her first baby and she went on to have 3 other children with no problems at all! It is such a horrible process and you just think- "why isnt it working!" Are you charting or using ovulation kits at all?
We will get there hunxx
I admire how you keep going. Stay strong and positive. This is barely my 3rd cycle so I shouldn't complain. This month I tried a different approach and didn't bbt. I only used opk's. I took my first opk on cd10 then waited for some dumb reason to take another on cd13 which showed positive in the afternoon then that same evening it was negative. I took a few more on cd 14 & 15 but they were negative. So, I'm guessing I ovulated either Saturday Sunday? Now is the waiting game. Last month I didn't O until CD 17 so I'm thinking my cycle is shorter this month.
Cabby- I think its normal for us all to feel down around AF time- at least i do. It is heartbreaking seeing that BFN but we will get there soon!
It is really hard to stay positive but I'm convinced I am meant to be a mother so I know I'll get there one day- no matter how long it takes!! Aw no don't feel bad about complaining- it's disheartening even at the early stages as u think it's going to happen straight away and when it doesn't it's really hard! Yeah sounds like u will have ovulated on sat or sunday- dont worry i used to get dead condused with OPK's!! I had the waiting game!!! At least if it's shorter- less of a wait for u! Oh I bet you can't wait for Friday to be hear so u can get all ur results! U'll have to let me know how you get on- I'll keep everything crossed for u!! Glad all is well with ur OH too- things are looking good
Oh that's good the 2nd one showed u had O'd - relief i bet
I know i still cant believe he got it wrong- he is a new doc working in his dad's practice- has no people skills or apparently any knowledge on sub-fertility!! V annoyed at him but glad all is ok with DH!!
Oh yes i remember u said ur a primary school teacher- my sister is an NQT and she is loving it! Handy about having the holidays for ur appt's. My boss is lovely so thinking i might tell her if needs be soon- ah!
Good luck for friday!
