Q: Beginning to Feel Down...

Hey everyone,
just needed a place to vent. My hubby and I have been ttc for about 8 months now, and no luck. It's really starting to bring me down, that month after month, right on time, af shows up. I know the days that I ovulate (well, according to all the ovulation calenders that I have used on the net), and we bd every other day during my fertile time, yet still we're unsuccessful. I think that this month is a write-off too (af is due on sunday, I have no symptoms of being preg.)
i've seen my doctor and she keeps saying all is fine, that it shouldn't be too much longer before I conceive. It doesn't help that everyone around me (at my workplace) are getting preg. And I keep hearing "it just happened, we weren't even trying"
anyone in the same situation as me? Anyone have any comforting words, advice or anything? I need some reassurance, i'm starting to loose faith.
Thanks ladies....

U Can Do This.....
Hey babyblue gal,


dun be pulled down by all this, people are people n they will go on saying things that might not be intentionally pointing on u, but it upsets or hurts u indirectly.

For eg: a teen pregnant gal will never pass through a street without being stared at, becoz she is supposed to be in school n not carrying a baby instead of book...

Another eg: a lady ttc for years will get to be pitied by people around her. According to people, u r trying or married, u should be getting a child soon or else there is something wrong with u.

People r just waiting to laugh at u, so r u going to let them get to u.........
No...No...No........... U r much stronger than all this mere words...
Women r mentally and emotionally strong. Be happy and relax...

****************************************** *******************

ok, now lets get alittle serious about ur ttc.....

Possible reasons u r trying n not successful:
1) stress/depression
2) irregular period
3) not ovulating
4) sperm quality and count
5) weak womb
6) egg quality
7) obese/health problems
8) timing sex


ok, things u could do now:
1) talk to ur doctor about checking ur womb and egg quality
2) if ur cleared, then talk to ur husband/bf to do a sperm check too
3) if all is cleared, use basal temperature charting/ovualtion testers/ovulex or other fertility pills/folic acid or vitamins to boost up ur immune system
4) if still after 6 months to a year, still no news, talk to ur doc about fertility treatments like iui or ivf...

****************************************** *******************


but I wish u all the best & lots of baby dust to get pregnant soon. I am also trying for baby #1 for 14months now after a miscarriage. I just found out in last december that I have pcos and am taking clomid and metformin to help me regularise my period and ovulate with good eggs. So it's not easy, but I am not giving up........ I have also been through a horrible emotional ride...... I have gotten myself out of the misery and so will u...

Good luck! Just remember, we r here for u.........U r not alone.
