My husband and i have been trying for 3 years. Good luck to everyone trying

We have only been trying since May, but it is still very rough.

Yes, I agree. Even when I wasnt trying it was hard for me. Granted I never in y mind not trying. Been my goal since I was 5 years old to be a mother. Hoping everyone gets their BFPs sooner than later.

I'm TTC #1 as well. My husband and I had an unplanned pregnancy in 2017 that ended in a MMC at 11 weeks. We decided to wait a while before trying for real and just started in August. I was always back and forth about kids, but that first pregnancy changed everything. It was the push I needed to decide that I really wanted a family and not something I would just be okay with having. Two of my friends were pregnant at the same time as me the first time and that has made it hard knowing that I would have a little one the same age as theirs. But it's great at the same time because I get to love on their babies until I have my own. Good luck to everyone! We'll become moms when the time is right

Yeah, I am having a hard time emotionally. I am the last one in my family to have kids. Both my siblings have their families without even trying. My brother had two unplanned kids and my sister was able to get pregnant her first try. It has been hard watching them build their families when they never wanted families growing up. It has always been my dream and it is feeling like it will never happen. Seven months and my body won’t even get regular enough for me to fully track it. I was on the Mirena iud and since coming off, I have yet to get a regular cycle. It is all over the place. Definitely makes it even harder. Good luck to everyone and we will get our families started soon!!

I'm trying for my first bio kid. I have a 13 yr old daughter, I met her father when she was 5 and we got married this year! She is my everything. I love raising her and cant wait to see my husband with a baby and her with a sibling!
We have been trying since June. But really got serious about it in August. We had a chemical in September. I'm getting frustrated. But I always start every month feeling like this is it!

Shay, I feel your frustration with your body. I know it doesn't necessarily help, but both of my friends who were pregnant at the same time as me took 6-8 months to get regular enough to conceive after having their iuds taken out. Any month now, your cycle should straighten itself out, but I know the wait is painful.

Hello ladies, ttc#1 as well. Got married in April. Stopped taking BC at end of June. Last couple of cycles have been strange, last cycle the doc thinks I didn’t O at all. Doc seems to think the irregular cycles are caused by stress and still trying to regulate off of the pill. Just trying to focus on being happy where I am right now and not trying to force anything though it is very hard as I have always wanted to be a mother. to all you ladies. We can do it

Welcome ladies!
@Shay I know with my oldest and younger sis having families my kids if and when it happen might not have cousins their ages. I do have two younger siblings that may one day have kids but I don't see that happening any time soon. I wanted to have a huge family to raise up with my sisters family and that will not happen. And my SO is an only child.

@essence I applaud you for being a wonderful mom to a child who isnt your blood. I am guilty for being a picky lady who stayed away from men with kids.

@Kait I agree waiting is painful.

@ts great way to be.

Ladies, no matter what is against us we will overcome.

Bug, I didnt know he had a kid when I asked him out! And then when he told me he had a daughter I thought oh he is one of those every other weekend dads! Nope hes a full time daddy. But after an hour into our date I was too in love to care
