Hey guys. Sorry ive been away for a few months. I honestly gave up. Last month i started a week early and only lasted 3 and half days instead of my normal 5. Then started cramping real bad last week and hubby took me to hospital they said i wasnt preg but had a cyst that was in the tube which makes no sense. And today im late....im gonna give it time though. My boobs are swollen and hurt so bad, i cant even lay on them they hurt so bad.. Been craving mexican food for a little over week. My boobs normally hurt a week or so before period but not this bad nor do they swell up. Im so confused.

I think it was woozie that posed about giving up and i want to encourage you to not give up. Im in a low space right now but i plan to give it another go.. We have to inspire each other!! We can do this!!

Stay positive - I agree, you both CAN do this! It just take a lot of persistence. I'm 6 days away from my first ultrasound to find out the viability of this BFP, and every night I've had nightmares of miscarrying. Last night was particularly bad and vivid. Plus knowing that despite my hcg levels, I could still have a blighted ovum mimicking a healthy pregnancy and I won't know otherwise till the scan. I've thought about it for the last week and even if that happens, god forbid, I'll still get back on the horse and try again. Giving up for me is just not an option. Good luck ladies...we all deserve it.

Thank you ladies. I ended up starting a day late.. I gave up because i figured it would happen if i gave up. Calvin i used to have those dreams when i was pregnant with my first because of the worry of miscarriage she turned out fine.

@calvingirl. I thought about that too with this pregnancy and when I had my doctr's appointment on May 7 and when I told him that I was having a lot of gurggles in my stomach, doctor told me that if you are feeling those, then those are the baby's kicks. Can't remember the name he used. Monday was the first time I ever heard the heard beat (146bpm) and after I heard that, I just cryed because seeing and hearing are completely different. Now, I am starting to feel the kicks a little more and I keep telling him/her (praying for boy) to kick me one more time so I can feel it. I hope that helps you to be more reassured. I am sure your ultrasound will be here before you know it and all the worries would have been for nothing; same goes for me. We are here for you if you ever need anything.

The rest of you ladies on the bandwagon, don't give up. You will get your chance to carry a child of your own. Hugs to all.

Hello ladies
I was in the 2016 forum ttc. If you guys remember my history is long. I'm 43 years old trying for my 2. I've had 6 mc! Last year I gave up. I'm trying this year, but I'm scare. Lately haven't tried anything, I'm 2 days late but no symptoms at all. Could that be Good?
Hello to the new ladies, Don't ever give up Shanta????

Hey ladies im trying to hold on to faith. I havent given up yet Miracle . Im trying not to. IO go back to the fertility specialist on the 23rd to see what else can be done short of IVF

I am going back next week to see what my options are...I am not too optimistic though...I've been seeing a specialist for 5mos and so far not much in the way of good news for me :-(

Good luck at your appt @Shanta...I hope you get GREAT news!!!

Good luck Shanta at your appointment. I'm glad to hear you are not giving up.
