I've just been reading a pregnancy thread and its hit me so hard, I so want to be pregnant

We havent been trying long, only 2 or 3 months but it seems so long when you want something so bad.

When AF arrives even though its only a month till the round of pregnancy testing starts it feels like years.

And this months just gone off the rails for me, when I was supposed to be Oving my AF started instead, Its stopped about 4 days ago but now I have AF cramps again !!

Im just fed up (PS theres no way Im pregnant, someone suggested I might be - but its only 16 days since last AF and haven't done the deed since!)

Argggghhhh!! Im so frustrated!

I took ages to fall with DS1,Well i didnt use contraception properly for well over a year

Then I cam off the pill, had a cycle from hell - 90 days long! then got PG,

this time I was expecting to get pregnant month 2, didnt, now month 3 is just from hell aswell!

I feel like Im wasting time if that makes sense?!

I know. I spent most of my late teens and twentys making sure I didn't get pregnant. If I had known that it was going to take a while then that would have saved me a few sleepless nights !! lol

PCOS is a PITA. It seriously takes the p*ss

Why is it so easy to fall pg by accident?

Hi Disenchanted,

I was the same when we were ttc our DD. It took us 6 months but 9 cycles. The disappointment was awful when AF arrived each month. I was starting to think there was something wrong and even had a scan to check I didn't have PCOS. that month i fell pregnant. She is almost 1 now and we are now ttc no 2 so I'm with you on this one. Good luck matey, it will happen for you soon

Hi fruitloop

I can't interperate my symptoms either!

Last month I was due and got such sore boobs, I never get sore boobs and I was sure i was PG, but I wasn't!

It helps to moan sometimes I agree!

Ah disenchanted I can totally understand . My cycles muck me around so much it really gets me down. My cycles are soooo long and unpredictable. This cycle is my 3rd in nearly 7 months. One minute I think I'm ovulating the next I get opposite symptoms. Our bodies love us to think we're pg dont they? Mother natures evil way I suppose.
Moan all you like. It really helps to just write it all down
I really hope it won't take us long

fingers crossed its not much longer for you. As you said 2 or 3 months isn't a long time. Try not to be consumed by the want/need to be pregnant as this doesn't help. It is frustrating try to relax & maybe treat yourself to some pampering maybe a massage. Enjoy the time you & your partner have together see this as a positive. sorry this probably doesn't help.also if you are worried about your AF mix up see your gp.
