Trying to Get Pregnant
Posted: 01-29-05 19:39pm

I am trying to get pregnant and have not been able to conceive yet. I have heard about the positions like hold your legs in the air when you are finished having sex and stuff like that. If anyone has any information or something that might help us please let me know. :(

Thanks for letting me know that. It does make me feel better knowing that I am not the only one having trouble. Even though I knew that I feel like I am sometimes. It seems like everybody around me is getting that way except for me. It is hard but all we can do is keep trying. If you need somebody to talk to you can also write me. Maybe we can halp ech other.

Thanks again,
heidi

You are welcome.I know what you mean about it seems like everybody around me is getting that way except for me. I just found yesterday that one of my cousins girlfriend is pregnant. So that has gotten me pretty down. At least me have the comfortable thought that while we are trying to get pregnant we are having fun doing it. One of the hardest part for me about trying to get pregnant is that one to two days a week me and my hubsand is apart so we can't make love. And in feb. He will be gone for 3 weeks. He is going to germany. So it is going to be diffuclt to get pregnant but I am sure that we will get pregnant. At least I am hoping and praying that we will.

Hi. I know how you both feeling. I've also been trying for almost a year now. Been on clomid for 6 months and started the menogon injectables this month. We also do the legs in the air thing afterwards. I've also heard that we should not orgasm 'cos it pushes out the sperm. That takes all the fun out but as my husband says, it's only for a week. Trying has also put a lot of strain on our love life 'cos it's so mission orientated.

I am so stressed out at the moment waiting to see if the injectables worked 'cos it increases your chances quite a lot. 8 more days to go and it's killing me.

I feel nauseas all the time but don't want to get my hopes up 'cos it may just be the nerves.

If you have more tips, please post reply or email me.

Sending loads of babydust to you guys and sorry but keeping some for myself. I to feel that everyone and their friends are getting pregnant and it starts to depress me but I just keep thinking that I will happen when we are both ready.

One thing that gets me depress alittle is when somebody says to me. When are you and your hubsand going to have a baby. And my brother's wife had said something to me about yesterday. And I just have this feeling that she knows it makes me a little upset and that she said that on purpose.


Don't know if I said this before but you all can send me a pm to. I try to get on once a morning and in the evening to. But just send me a pm whenever you get down in the dumps about it all.

Glad to Have Found This Site
Posted: 02-09-05 18:28pm

I just want ya'll to know that I am so glad that I found this site. It has really helped. I feel better after talking about it and stuff. The thing about not having an orga.... Because the sprem runs out is crazy. My husband and I talk all the time about different things and stuff. And one day he said I don't what it is but for some reason it seems like my sperm runs out of after we are finished? I just shrugged my shoudlers because I didn't know why either. Thanks for sharing that. I have learned a few things since talking to you guys, but the most importnant is that there are other people out there in the same baot as me. If any of you ever want to talk my email and screen anme is layn esauntiehmw@aol.Com. Layne is my one and only nephew and I spoil him rotten. I asked him if he wanted auntie to have a baby and at first he said no but then he said yes. So now when he comes over or wants to come over he says he wants to come see the baby!!! He is three and sweeter than ever. Ok enough already thanks again you guys.

I also have heard that not orgasm 'cos it pushes out the sperm. But it is so hard not to at times. I am glad that I have found this site to. It has helped alot. And I know how it feels when your friends or cousin are having babies you are not. It makes me sad but I am happy for them but it still makes me sad. I am hopeing that I am pregnant now. But I am afraid to get a test and take it. Afraid that test will come back negative.

I have 5 newphes and 2 nieces and my hubsand has 2 newphs and one nieces. So altogether I have 7 newphs and 3 nieces. My sister's youngest use to call my nanna. I use to babysit him. I watched him for the time he was 2 or it might have been 1 and 1/2 months old, up until I got married. I still spoil him.

I hate for that time of the month to come because I hope that I don't start. I alsowanted to let ya'll know that my friend was reading a magazine and it said that j. Lo was eating alot of oatmeal. They said that it makes you more fertial. Don't know how true that is but it can't hurt. Plus it will lower you cholestral. Ha ha ok talk to ya'll later. Let me know how the test comes out.

Well if oatmeal is suppost to make you fertial then I should be fertial because I eat alot of oatmeal. I love to eat oatmeal. I am going to get a test probably sometime this next week. And if it comes back negative. Going to wait about getting another one until my hubsand gets back from germany. Which will be in march. I am trying really hard not to get my hopes up but I think I am failing on that.

I will let you know how the test turns out. Friday night me and my hubsand was talking. It was about 10 or 10:30. I told him I was hungry. I was wanting a hamburg and fries plus ice cream. I didn't make him go out and get me anything because most place around here that sell hamburg, fries, and ice cream was close. Plus we was also was staying in a hotel room for valentine's. But I am going to buy a test sometime this week. And take it. If it comes back negative and I still haven't gotten my period when my hubsand gets back from germany in march. I am going to buy another one. Or go ahead and buy one that has two test in it.

My hubsand had told me that he wasn't getting his hopes up but friday night when I told him I was hungry. He had told me that this website that he goes to has like journals on it and he said that some of the people on there talks about how their wife's eat like that when they are pregnant. So I know he is getting his hopes up if he wasn't he wouldn't have said anything like that. Well I hope everybody is doing well today.

More Help Hopefully.
Posted: 02-15-05 04:55am

I have been tryign to get pregnant for a year and I done a lot of research. I am now taking ovulex just started so I hope things go good with that. But I have heard that you should orgasm right when your partner does or right after if possible supposeably the contractions help the sperm up. Just thought that might help.

Another Month of Trying
Posted: 02-17-05 09:22am

Hi everybody. Well, I got my period on monday the 7th, so the injectables did not work. We where so hopeful 'cos the doctor was pretty sure it was going to work 'cos I had so many follicles. He was actually worried about me having more than one.

I started the clomid and injectables cycle again. Went for my first scan and blood test again. The scan did not show as many follicles as last month.

I also asked him about the orgasm thing and he says we may by all means. There are enough sperm that go in. I also asked him about it running out 'cos that happens with me as well, even the next morning. He again assured me that enough stays behind. I read that at least 2 million sperm are ejected everytime. Just depends how strong swimmers they are.

Will keep you updated on progress.

Feel free to mail me anytime : ssalie@ ccsabco.Co.Za

Good morning everybody.

I just wanted to check in and see how things were going? I don't want to really start thinking that I might be pregnant, but I have had several things going on that people say are all signs. I don't want to get my hopes up just to have them shattered again. I have been really tired all the time, and the other day my nipples hurt like crazy. It was crazy I was walking at work the other day and they just got hard. Really weird lol.
They still are sensitive but that doesn't mean anything. Well talk to you guys later.

I Totally Understand How You All Feel!
Posted: 03-02-05 12:55pm

Hey girls! I too ttc for a long time. Actually it was 4 years to be exact. I tried everything! Including the ovulex that everyone on here is talking about. My husband also took the amberoz. I know people that it has worked for, however, in my case I don't think there was anything wrong with me and it really messed up my periods bad. You see I started using the ttc site www.Fertilityfriend.Com (which I highly recommend to all of you) it helps you know exactly when you ovulate. When I took the ovulex it made me stop ovulating. So I discontinued use and my cycles went back to normal. Fertility friend is really helpful, there are many ppl on there ttc and you can talk with them and they have experts you can ask questions too. You learn about your luteal phase and how your cycles are similar or different. It really helps to show you if you are the one who is having the problem. Mine was normal so I figured it was my husband. So, I looked into some things that would help a man with his problems. And tried them out. After a little over 3 years of trying on my own I started using this fertility friend and I conceived within like 4-5 months of charting. I ended up getting pregnant last november the day after thanksgiving! So you see, I combined my most fertile time with a whole lot of pumpkin for my husband (helps the prostate) and bam it happened! I couldn't believe it! I hope this helps for some of you and I really hope you try out that website because it helps a lot. It explains alot of stuff to you too. :d

take care and I wish you all beautiful bouncing babies very near in your futures!
