Hello All,

I'm new here, first ever post!

We have been TTC for 7 years now. Sad I know... uggghhhh so Frustrating!

Anyhow is due tomorrow and she has no signs of showing her ugly face. I've had some preggo symptoms but I keep shrugging it off as it being my imagination. But there is one sign that is loud and clear and so out of the normal for me which is that I have always spotted for several days before she arrives. This month nothing except for a few drops of bright pink blood around the time when the egg would be implanting.

I got excited and took a pregnancy test on Saturday but it was negative which I knew in the back of my mind it would be. Then today because I've seen no signs of I took another one. Big Fat Negative again.

I've decided I won't torture myself anymore until I'm a few days late but wanted to sign in. I was on a site like this before and loved the hope and encouragement I got from it. When you suffer from Infertility you feel so alone in the sea of people CONSTANTLY announcing that they are pregnant with their 5th that OOPS it happened and they weren't even trying etc.. etc...

It's nice to go someplace where you don't feel alone and others can relate

Welcome and sorry you've been trying for so long with no luck. I hope it happens for you soon!

I am in a mood

DH and I got into a fight and he refused to BD. (We are supposed to be BDing every other day.) While it is unlikely that I am ovulating, I would like to be able to say that we gave it all we could. I feel like I have to go through all this shit...scary tests (possibly painful) and procedures and DH can't even keep up with his part of the bargain. He still has yet to provide his SA sample as well. Man how I wish that all I had to do was put a sample of my goo in a cup and provide it. I feel like it is wasting time for me to have to have an HSG if we are not going to be BDing anyway.

I am scared to have the HSG. I am afraid of the pain after and during and hopeful for what the answers may be. If DH is going to pick and choose when we BD then why go through with all this. Part of me is debating canceling the HSG and just leaving it up to chance but I guess that would not make sense since this will give me answers regardless.

On a side note, the hospital called to let me know about a double blind study that is offered during the HSG. They will combine a steroid with the dye used during the procedure to help with inflammation. I called my doctor about this and he was not in the office. The people I did talk to seemed to have no idea about this as if I was the first person to ever bring it up...sounds weird to me. Considering that this is a fertility doctor you would think that other people would of been offered the same and had concerns to bring to the attention of their MD.

I'm right there with you girl. I feel like i'm always the one nudging him along and letting him know it's the right time for us and my hubby hasn't gotten his SA yet either. He had an appointment a couple months back but then cancelled it because his brother would be in town and then he rescheduled it for a time that wasn't good for us timing wise so he cancelled that one and thinks it's a waste of time for him because he doesn't think that's the problem since we've conceived twice now. I told him to just do it for me, for my piece of mind. If that's all the men have to do, REALLY???!!! Ugh! I only wish...dang them!

What does this awful painful HSG mean?

Sorry are you asking what an hsg is or how painful it was?

The pain was a tugging crampy, not sure how to describe feeling. Basically it's two times of pain. Initial insertion and then when the dye is pushed through.

Hope this helps. Don't want to scare anyone, but remember it doesn't last long , and I, fortunate that I didn't have much cramps after. Some do.

My doc's office always gives me pain pills and valium before my procedures. That would have helped. Why couldn't you get those things to help with the pain? My hysteroscopy didn't hurt at all because of that.

Hi everyone! This is my first post and I'm glad that I found this forum. I stopped taking BC in July and no baby yet. At first I just wanted to wait to see if it would happen on its own and I was even ok if I had to wait a year UNTIL, everyone around me ended up pregnant within the past two months! Now Im struggling being around certain people and I'm always wondering why I'm not getting pregnant. It seems like no one understands what I'm going through because a few of my friends got pregnant on BC and were no where near planning a pregnancy. I hope to find a lil peace of mind sharing with you guys! Baby dust to us all

WELCOME babyfever and I'm totally right there with you. It's hard when everyone around us is getting pregnant and we're not. It's frustrating. I have trouble being around certain people too because of it. I've kind of turned into a hermit...i go to work and come home and only venture out on weekends with hubby sometimes and not around babies. I will endure it if i have to but not on purpose. It's just depressing because these people have what we want...so hang in there. We're all here for you.
