I'm new to this thread, or any thread! I'm 31 and hubby is 35. You know how they say the first year is always the hardest at marriage? So not true in our case. First year, bliss, second year blissfully happy, third year excited (baby makin time), forth year grrrrrr, fifth year double triple grrrrrr. I hate to say that not having a child has put such a strain on our marriage, but it has. Last year we found out "the news". Ya know, the dreaded follow up at the dr office after tests. You enter dr office telling each other that everything is going to be fine there is nothing wrong and it's just taking awhile? NOPE! Follow up visit was like a kick in the CHEST! Low sperm count, poor mobility, ect. 1% chance of EVER having a CHILD!! Meanwhile, 2 close friends are pregnant, and one is my husbands sister in law. So, the two people who walked in the dr office full of hope and faith and love for one another, walk out not holding hands, not talking, tears running down our face, dr is crying, everyone is a mess. We drove seperatly because I came from work and he works nights. So dreaded drive home alone, bawling. Knowing he's bawling, makes me bawl harder! Take the long way home, pull in the driveway, he gets out crying....i'm crying....standing in the driveway crying and holding each other....neighbors thinking WTF is wrong?! I can't help but laugh a little bit about that. SO! Silver lining; have me checked out, and try IUI? Nope, too devestated to move on from the first kick to to get kicked down again when IUI doesn't work. So everytime I think about going with the IUI getting checked out...I think wait a min, this is gonna happen naturally, you just need to chill out and wait. God has a plan to bring your marriage closer, and then GIVE you a child. Ok ok, so I'll wait. What if I wait too long?! THEN it will NEVER happen.

This year is it, folks. I'll be 32 and completely exhausted of this feeling of wanting to have a child but can not. I'm tired of posting, thinking this is going to fill a void if I just hear one more miracle story. Posting is not filling this void, writing about my experience is nt filling a void. It will be my husband and I until we divorce or die of old age. and even then we can't die together, this isn't the notebook, so someone has to be left alone...to die alone....with no one to visit you. I'm not saying this is why I want a child is to not be alone. I'm saying I want a child because it's the most natural feeling in the world, and yet the most dangerous. It's dangerous because when it's taken as long as it has us......you start to turn on one another....and then you don't recognize the other person. You start questioning everything.

I choose to stop questioning. I choose my life with my husband, I choose to be happy and live this life to the fullest. One day I'll look back on all of this experience, and be able to see why it wasn't possible. I can't see it now. But I will later on. I need to believe there is a higher power at work in our lives that has chosen a different path for us.

I'm just sending this out into the great wide Thread. Thanks, Great Wide Thread....goodnight.

Wow...you made me tear up...it's hard to respond to this but you are an amazing person and seem to have a great heart and a good head on your shoulders. I will be praying hard for you and hubby that God gives you this blessing that you so desire and DESERVE! Hang in there. :hugs:
 
Hi! My name is Heather and I am new here. This is the first month my DH and I have been TTC (been on Zarah for 4 years, stopped it this month). I am 24 years old, my DH is 29. We have been married a little over 2 years. I am a pediatric RN at a daycare for mentally, physically, and emotionally challenged babies, kids, and teens. I have always wanted to be a mom and excited to become PG soon!! I am a little scared, because my mom had some fertility issues, and having a baby seems so much like a miracle! Baby Dust!!!

Welcome Heather and good luck to you. I hope you get your BFP real soon! Love your avatar!
 
Welcome to all the newbies!!! This is a great and comforting thread. I wish all of you baby dust and hopefully we all get our BFP's in 2012!!! HUGS!

You brought me to tears...:cry: I'm so sorry hun! Stick in there. Your confidence and ability to share your'e story has inspired me! Remember the words you type... It's not over until GOD says it is!!!
 
I've just noticed this section! :thumbup:

It's a great idea! I'm ttc my first too but at the minute I'm really struggling to have regular cycles. I go for a blood test tomorrow to find out if I have pcos, I'm really worried but believe everything happens for a reason so hopefully it'll all work out whatever the outcome. Good luck to all your ladies ttc! :hugs:
 
Hello ladies.

Just popping in to say hey. On CD 1 from today and will be first cycle TTC. Can't believe the wait is almost over! I'm 23 and OH is 30. I'm a staff nurse, qualified for just under a year.

Looking forward to chatting with you all!
Baby dust to everyone! :)

Great link!
Thank you so much for the link. This is only my second day & I have been pretty lost.
 
Hello everyone, I'm married with my husband for about a year now.. We're having sexual intercourse without using any contraceptive for about 2 years already. We're trying to conceive since early this year (2012) but no success. I have regular menstruation cycle. 5 days period and 30 days cycle. Last June 28/29, first time I've experienced a UTI-like pain in my pelvis with a very little amount of blood in my urine. I was worried that it might be Urinary Track or Kidney Infection so I went to see my OB-GYN. My pelvic exam, trans-vaginal ultrasound, blood and urine test turned negative to any infection or cysts. So my Dr said it might be an Ovulation Bleeding. My period started on June 8 and ended on June 12. Then I had my period again last July 13th. For the 2nd time around, I've experienced the Ovulation Bleeding again (same symptoms, pain lasted for 2 days only) last July 24th. So we took the opportunity to get pregnant, my husband and I had sex every other day, during my ovulation period. Today, August 9, I'm feeling sick, same like my pre-menstrual symptoms. Feeling dizzy but not vomiting. Feeling pain at my lower back, around my pelvis. I have the 50-50 feeling that I'm not pregnant and pregnant. Sometimes it's stressful for me because it makes me think that there is something wrong with me. (Btw, my husband has 3 children from his past relationship while it is my first relationship). I hope I could read all of your story of TTC too..
 
Hello ladies! I'm new to this forum, so I wanted to introduce myself. I am 25 years old, my husband and I have been married for about 5 years. We have been TTC for about 5 months now. I know that it is not a lot of time considering some couples take up to a year, but nonetheless it is VERY frustrating. I never thought that getting Pg could be so difficult. We feel like we are in control of our bodies and when we're finally ready to try God decides we're not ready.

Sorry for the venting, but I am looking forward to meeting other people on this forum and reading other people's stories. It's definitely a reassuring feeling knowing that I am not alone.
 
Hi want2bemomma! I have been trying for one year 2 months. I wish I had tried earlier instead of worrying about getting pregnant in the ten years we have been together. It is frustrating. I am on medication at the mo so not meant to be ttc but i am 4 days late so beginning to wonder. I havent started charting or anything i think it would stress me out and i want to be relaxed!
Dont worry about venting it needs to be done!
good luckxxx
