Desperately wants to be Pregnant
| Tue, 07-11-2006 - 5:12pm |
I Just am so overwhelmed with feelings right now. I feel like i am going to get my AF again, but i can't tell because i have been such a emotional reck since starting this baby making process. I am suppose to get my period today, which usually comes at night. It make my stomach hurt just thinking about it, because I just don't want the damn thing.
I have had some cramping, nausea, and fatigue. No boob soreness, though i don't even get that when i get AF. What other signs have other people have? I just am getting so flustered about the whole thing...last month i cried when i got AF and i am so scared because i don't want it and know i will be an emotional reck.
Anyone have any other signs they have had or calming advice for me?
Thanks

I also am desperately wanting to be pg. I used to go through that also but after really trying for over 2 years and it not happening, I have grown a little cold to it and just try again the next month if it hasn't happened. How long have you been trying and how old are you?
I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time. It took my mom about 2 1/2 for my little sister. She said you do eventually stop thinking about it. Have you gone to the docs and checked to see why it might be taking so long?
I am 26 and I started just about 2 months ago. I am that type of person who gets anxious real quick. My doc told me that it could take up to year, but just reading everyone else's stories makes you feel alot more anxious than ever and wondering about the unknown.
I was on BC for 10 years and went off it 2 months ago, however I have been on time to the tee with symptoms and the day i get AF, so i think i am good at timing, but just not sure if the timing is just right.
I guess i am getting so impatient too cause everyone around me is getting pregnant. My DH little sister (19 yrs though) is pregs and then a good friend of mine is pregs and then everyone one and their mother in hollywood is...shoot I feel like everywhere i turn there is a bump in my face, and the only bump i have in my tire fat. Just really annoyed.
How long have you been trying? Here's my experience and situation. I don't know if it will encourage you or not. So, my husband and I decided in December to start trying in July to time it well with the school year since I'm a teacher. That way, I'd be due mid-April and school ends at the end of May - perfect. My husband and I were going to start trying in a few days, actually 7/15.
We had unprotected sex and I was on top on the 18th day of my cycle 6/24 (I've been recording everything), which since I have a 28 day cycle, I assumed would be fine, especially due to gravity and the fact that I let the sperm come out immediately, etc... (sorry if tmi, but I'm open). So, I was getting excited b/c my period was due 7/5, so if I got pregnant right away, this would be my last period for a long time. Well, it didn't come. The past 2 cycles it had been extremely light the first 2 days and full-fledged the 3rd day, but day 4 came and day 5. On day 5 after church we got a pregnancy test. I was sure I wasn't pregnant, but my cycles are dead-on. And, it was positive. It was a faint second line, but they say 2 lines are 2 lines no matter how light or dark. So, yesterday I got a blood test to confirm it and found out today that I'm pregnant for sure, due 3/14/07. It's not ideal because I'll have to go back to work for a month unless I stay home unpaid, but we believe God obviously wanted it to happen now and for a reason, and I'm blessed to have become pregnant without even trying. My husband's disappointed we didn't get to try:)
My husband and I are both healthy - we eat very healthy and are pretty active. We're both 25 as well. We hadn't had sex for 5 days, so his sperm was mature and concentrated, which makes a big difference! I also orgasmed, which opens up and makes the cervix dip down to collect sperm - also important. I would say to relax and enjoy yourself. Know a lot of information, but I think God designed sex and conception in a very specific way. If both of you are enjoying the experience, the body responds and tries to conceive.
Good luck and let me know if you get your period or not!
I totally can relate! Dh and I orginally thought we'd wait until the end of the year to ttc #2 but then I realized that if I got pg in June we could have a March baby (I've always wanted one). Well I quit my bcp on June 10th (the last "active" pill) and got af on June 11th right on schedule. Well here I sit... no af (2 days late now) and bfns. I had some cramping around July 2nd which would make sense for implantation so I was sure. I haven't had any symptoms though until yesterday, my bbs are getting sore. But, I'm pretty positive that if it hasn't shown up yet then I probably am not. I will take one more test over the next weekend and then move on.
I'm hoping that af will show up soon and then we will move on to next month and shoot for an April baby... after that I'm thinking I may wait till the end of the year but stay off bcp and hope for a September baby.
Good luck I hope you get your bfp very soon!

I am a teacher also. So really giving birth in March is not ideal for me cause I would have 2 more months to work until school was out for the Summer. I live in Florida and schools are until the end of May.
I really hope I am this month though after just trying IUI. I am 33 and have been off bcp for 10 years and really have been ttc for the past 2 years. So I hope it finally works for us.
Hi again! Remember...you're not alone... knowing that always makes me feel better!
I stopped BC at the end of a three month pack (Seasonale) on 5/27. AF arrived five days later 6/1. I think I ovulated 6/16. We bd enough to cover our bases! AF was "late," BFNs and neg blood test. AF arrived about a week late... 7/8. Just purchased TODAY a daily fertility monitor to help pinpoint ovulation since either A} AF is just getting back to normal b-c of bcp or B} I'm going to be irregular (never have been though!). I also have endometriosis which means the longer it takes for me to get pg, the harder it will be to get pg. My GYN told us to just go for it and try... although, I'm a teacher and we wanted to get pg in July/August. It is frustrating, on one hand I try to chill myself out by realizing we just started BUT on the other hand I think about all of those people (no offense to anyone) who just GET pg without trying and some without wanting a baby at all.
Good luck!
