Hi to all of the wonderful women in this forum,
My husband and I are wanting to fall pregnant. The last day of my prev period was on the 2 Oct, and we tried on 12th, 15th and 16th and my cycle is 29 days. I am heartbroken when getting negative after urine tests, but then again it is probably too early to work. I feel that I may be pregnant, but I have thought that before and been disappointed. I have headaches (trust me on that), Over the last week I have been very tired, I have felt naucius (not all the time, but every day or two, some days worse than others), an unsettled stomach (bowel also a bit funny at times), occassional pain on the right and left side (just inside the hip), slight pain in my lower back, and some pain in my breast.
Although I have these 'symptoms' I am hoping that I am not feeling them because I want to be pregnant (I hope I am not imagining them or making something out of nothing). I second guess myself now with negativity by thinking that the back pain is from my chair, the headache is not from wearing glasses at the moment etc... It is so painful waiting.
When should a Home Preg Test work reliably?
Is there anyone else out there who wants to fall pregnant and has gone through the disappointment of not falling pregnant when they want to... what can I do to get my mind of it? It is starting to consume my thoughts. How have you gotten over the disappointment?
Oh yeah... my stomach has felt tight and my breast get sore on and off, not all the time, and I now feel like I am getting some period cramps. Am I pregant or am I just a freak?
I appreciate any comments or help.

| I found out two days before my missed period so anytime right before or a week or so after is best and use first morning urine as well. You are probably stressing your body out the mind is a powerfull thing when it comes to horomones I know its hard but try focusing your energy on something else , spice up your love life , plan romantic nights enjoy a good wine , set the mood , this will take your mind off of the matter and help you relax and no doubt you will be pg before you know it. ↑ |

| OMG! At the month we started trying, I have basically "raped" my hubby every day! Until I got sick closer to the end of it. When I got sick I did not feel like having sex at all, now I am realizing I was sick from getting preg. I did not want to take any chance of missing the day of ovulation. Now after feeling so sick, sometime I blame my hub for not wanting to adopt but I know I am just hormonal from being preg :) ↑ |

| I know how you feel and especially when you said you want it so bad that it hurts. I know exactly how you feel, the pain and jealousy you experience when someone walks by you pregnant, etc.....Are you using ovulation predictor kits? I owe my baby to those! We started trying to get pregnant on April 3. I had my period April 11 and on May 10, I got a faint positive pregnancy test. I couldn't believe it happened so quickly. We were very lucky. I was freaking out because I began using the Ovulation predictors about 10 days into my cycle and I didn't ovulate until Day 20 of my cycle! So, I was a late ovulator and didn't know it. That's why I think they are extremely helpful. Also, when we began trying, we had sex every other day no matter what. I know you read things and it says that you need to wait 2-3 days to allow the testicles to store up their sperm but I figured there is always sperm present in ejaculate and that I would rather be getting some in me as often as possible than waiting that long and possibly missing the egg. Have you visited any "TTC forums" I leared about a lot of good products and fertility practices from mine. I used www.americanbaby.com and there is a good one on www.justmommies.com Keep us updated! ↑ |

| I AM GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING RIGHT NOW TOO. I HAVE A 3 YR. OLD AND HAD A MISCARRIAGE IN AUG. I WAS A LITTLE OVER 2 MONTHS ALONG. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE TRYING VERY HARD AGAIN AS WELL. I JUST TOOK A PREGNANCY TEST LAST FRI, AND IT WAS NEGATIVE. I WAS A LITTLE DISSAPOINTED, BUT NOT MUCH, B/C I FEEL IF I GET TOO EXCITED AND PUT TOO MUCH THOUGHT INTO IT AGAIN, IT WON'T HAPPEN OR I WILL LOST IT AGAIN. SO, WE ARE JUST TRYING AND NOT REALLY THINKING TO FAR INTO IT ANYMORE. I HOPE IT HAPPENS FOR YOU AS WELL. BUT, I HAVE HEARD THAT SOMETIMES IF YOU WANT IT REALLY BAD, YOU CAN DEVELOP ALL THE PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS AND NOT EVEN BE PREGNANT. IT IS MENTAL. IT HAS A NAME FOR IT TOO, BUT I FORGOT. I HOPE THAT IS NOT WHATS GOING ON WITH YOU. I HOPE YOU REALLY ARE PREGNANT. GOOD LUCK AND LET US KNOW. ↑ |

Thank you all for your wonderful and insiteful words. VeggieMom2B I am well informed and read on pregnancy, my family members and friends have made sure that I am fully aware of the very very low parts of being pregnant and the first few months. I am actually confident now with the knowledge of these bad times because my family members went in thinking it would be peaches and went through these bad times, at least I am aware of them.
AnnD I totally understand the jealousy comment. It seems like friends and family fall pregnant at the drop of a hat, and many of those times it was 'accidental'. This is our second month of trying, I know that many of you will laught at that and say "Honey, what are you worring about, it can take up to a year", but what I am worried about is if it takes longer or I am unable to concieve despite being told by my doctor that everything is perfect.
I know that I am jumping the gun because my MF is due on Monday. If I am not pregnant I think I might go to the doctor because of the symptoms I feel... if I am sick or run down this will obviously hinder further attempts.
sally24 I think I will keep away from wine (makes me sick at the best of times sadly).
I will keep you all posted... disappointment or success?

There are a bunch of posts on here from me last June... I was trying to get pregnant and was told that it absolutly wouldn't happen. A few different doctors told me that I should just quit trying... I had been married 2 years, but I was only 18! I was so devestated and I literally became obsessed with it. Even during the periods that my ex-husband and I fought I still was half-way trying because I was so afraid it would never happen. I ended up taking Provera and Clomid and it worked the first time. Unfortunatly right after I found out I was pregnant there were some drastic changes in my marriages and I got divorced... but I'm about to remarry someone new and everything has turned out wonderfully anyhow.
Anyways.. that last part there is really neither here nor there.. but the point is that the provera and clomid worked the first try even when they told me it wouldn't. Maybe you should ask about it. ↑ |

| Wont that increase the chances of multiples? I will wait a few mths to see if I need that help. Thanks for the info though. ↑ |
| Name: nicole jones1 | Date: Oct 25th, 2006 12:11 AM |
| Not really... that's artificial insemination that increases the risk. With clomid it's not increased very much at all... only like 1% I think. I'd have to check. I know they told me not to worry about it because it almost never happens.... And I've only just got one baby on the way. ↑ |
