TTC 6month stress

[bubbahope]

Hi Ladies,

My fiance and I have been TTC for 6 months now without any success and every month comes as a disappointment. So many of my friends are pregnant and seemed to fall pregnant very quickly! I am so worried that there may be something wrong!! I have been to the doc to discuss and she gave me a pelvic exam and said all seemed healthy. Are there others out there that have taken as long?? I don't understand how some people fall pregnant so quickly and others don't. Would love others in the same boat to chat, be nice to hear from you!! x

I didn't want to read and run especially since this is how i felt just months ago.

After trying (and by trying I mean baby making sex) for over six months I was SO angry frusterated and honestly depressed. I mean I'm 26! Shouldn't I just look at him and fall pregnant!? In my head all I could remember was my mom saying well you aren't getting any younger and it worrys me that you never got pregnant before (long term previous boyfriend - from 17 until mid 20s- who I didn't always practice "safe sex" with)

I know this is going to sound insane but the month of may I was like OK time to make REAL changes. Nothing drastic (I can't function without ONE coffee a day or a glass of wine here and there) but I did start practicing yoga at home (and by practicing I mean I turned on some rain forest music and just did a couple of poses over and over) and I also started to steep a tiny bit of cinnamon in boiling water, plus honey and lemon into the mug after straining the cinnamon from the hot water. I know that sounds totally hokey but in the past its always worked for me to clean up colds or left over flus and so I wonder if I had some kind of lingering bacteria (and on THAT note, now that I've had a bunch of blood tests I do have a bacteria that lives in my blood and I'll never get rid of, but thats not "suppose" to affect me... says Dr.).

I KNOW it sucks to keep waiting. I know how it feels the day AF arrives and you just want to cry and not leave your bed. But after what feels like a million months of trying I am indeed 17 weeks pregnant.

All the baby dust to you

Thank you so much for you advice! It is nice to know that there are others in the same boat! I was hopeful this month but unfortunately my period arrived today! You are right, I just feel like going to my bed and not getting up. I just don't understand it.

I am so happy for you and your partner on your baby news!!
