I didnt think i would have any problems ttc- we have only been trying for one month but my first daughter was a one-time surprise so i never would have thought for a minute there would be a problem. But here I am one day late just when i was about to take a hpt poof there is AF. So much for a May baby! =(. How long have all of you been trying?

I understand how you feel, but you also have to understand that TTC can take some time. MY DH & I did not try to prevent pg for 8 years, but we did not really TTC either. We just kinda thought it would happen. We have been TTC now for 5 months---really keeping up with everything: temping , charting, CM, etc.

PLease know that even in a perfectly healthy couple with no fertility issues, there is only a 20% chance of conceiving each month, so please try to not let your 1st month of not getting that BFP get you down. Every cycle is different, every pg is different, so just keep that in mind. GL to you!!!

Hi there. I too feel like you today and I have not even tested and am only 2 dpo, I know it's early to think I know I am not pg but I've also been pg before (12 yrs. ago at age 17) but I know, even this early, I do NOT feel pg and dh knows how depressed I feel today. My temps have been down (when you're pg, your temps usually higher 98-99 everyday) and you just feel different as I remember. This is our first month really ttc# 1 (my daughter was givin up for adoption with an x boyfriend at that young age) so it is important to do this again being married and so happy.

I was also on the bcp's for 11 yrs after she was born and just got off this past March and thought since I had af each month that my cycles were pretty much back to normal except the fact I have longer cycles now (34 days vs. 28 on bcp) so I want to make sure I am O'ing (ovulating) each month and I was not really temping very closely this month to find out if I did really O or not.

Dh says "it's only our first month really trying, relax" and he's right, am I going to make everyone else miserable until we do get pg finally?? I can't, he'll leave me--lol! I bought myself the Clearblue Easy Fert. monitor this month thinking I would be one of the lucky one's who got pg our first month using it since it shows you your two most fertile day (peak days to conceive) and I know we didn't get pg. I had little to no cm at all this cycle, none and I think the sperm need the cervical mucus to live in for more than a day!

Well good luck to you and maybe we can be support for one another as I am so depressed today that my body dosen't "feel" pg.
