View Full Post

I wanted to make this for all the ladies out there TTC their first little one.
Let us come together and share in each others heartache and joy.

I feel so alone in my community because everyone I know has kids.

A little info about me.

Been TTC #1 again for 4.5 months. Started tracking this cycle.
Been not trying for 18 years but havent prevented either.
Was on this site in 2011 TTC #1 with my ex but our relationship ended in 2012.
Started TTC again in 2014 with my new bf but in 2017 after no success. I found out he cheated on me and got the girl pregnant.
January 2018 surgery to remove a fibroid that was like a natural IUD as the doc said.
Me the love of my life June 23rd and we basically have been trying ever since.
I'm two weeks away from 35 years old and he turned 38 in July. He does not have any kids and we both really want some.

Hey ladies, I wish you all luck.
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 10months (for some of you this isn’t long) but for us it’s been heart breaking. My brother and sister in law started ttc around the same time and they fell first cycle which was really hard. I was so excited for them but had a really hard time her whole pregnancy as terrible as it sounds I was just so jealous. My beautiful nephew is now 4 weeks old and I love him to bits and the feelings have passed but I can’t wait for that to be me. During these 10months I’ve had two chemical pregnancies (one on my 1year wedding anniversary). I went to the doctor and he said that for some reason I could implant but then I would loose it. He gave me a few more months of trying before referring me to a fertility specialist. So I went to a lady I knew who had helped people trying to have babies as I prefer to do things more naturally without the hormones if I could. She looked at mine and my husbands diet and what we needed to change. I swapped to using more organic skincare and body wash as I’m a hairdresser I’m always working with chemicals and she said to limit the chemicals I use as much as I could. And she put me onto vitex but in the liquid form.
I’ve been making these changes for the last 2 months and last week I got a bfp!!!! I tested again a few days later and the positive sign was much darker. My husband and I are so excited. It’s still very early but I’m trying to stay positive even though I’m terribly scared of loosing this baby aswell. But I just keep telling myself to think positive thoughts. This time has felt different to the other two times so I’m just praying everything goes well.
I wish you all the best and hopefully we will all be mummies to healthy babies soon.

(Not sure how to reply to comments so..) @MMAR94 - I know how you feel with the jealousy thing, so many younger girls around me falling pregnant without even trying and I'm happy for them but at the same time envious and kind of dont want to see them. May sound bad, but just cant help the feeling.
Congratulations on your BFP! Have a healthy and happy 9 months

@MMAR thank you for sharing your success story with us. I hope all goes well.

@kalliope welcome and hoping you get your bfp.

I know what yall mean about those green feelings. one of my team leads I supervised told me she might be pregnant yestersay, she is a week late and has been having symptoms. Shes a year older than me with no kids, I'm happy for her if she is but also jealous that if she is and I'm not it's going to be hard on me. We are very close to even though I supervise her. I will be happy for her but I also feel aches in my heart. She has had alot of medical surgeries over the last two years and has been out a lot and didnt think she could have kids. I wish I didnt feel sad or frustrated with news like this.

I couldn’t wait another day and took a test this morning. Stark negative. I have taken six tests since that first one showed a line and every single one has been negative. I am so heartbroken!

I will be making an appointment with a doctor. I am not sure why I thought I would be pregnant at this point. I haven’t had a cycle since October 14th. I guess I was just kidding myself. Going to see what is going on. Last time I talked to a doctor they just told me to wait and see. Well I am done waiting! Over three months with no cycle is torture! I just want to sit and cry for hours!

@Shay, I'm so sorry you are going through this. I would demand they do something remind them you are the paying customer and you want answers or something to help start your cycle.

@shanta good luck with your trigger shots!!

Thank you ladies. I am not sure what is going on. My husband got his doctor to recommend a few others in the area and he made me an appointment. Unfortunately the soonest they can get me in isn’t until Valentine’s Day. So it will be a month of waiting still. But at least something will hopefully be done!!

Good luck @shanta! I don’t know if I could do that!
