Please tell me that I'm not the only one who thought they'd defy the odds and get pregnant straight away?

Every family member has either got pregnant by accident or in the first month of trying.

I cried when I got my period yesterday and it's only the second month of ttc

I'd wager that not everyone you know got pg straight away.

Sorry you haven't been lucky yet.

I am ttc too and I just KNOW I am going to come on tomorrow. I feel it in my bones.

LittleSquirt · 16/01/2011 19:59

No, you are definitely not the only one! :-) All I can say is that if you are still relatively young & with regular cycles, then it is likely to happen soon. I am myself on 2nd cycle TTC #2 & hope it will happen soon. Bigs hugs to you. X

AuntieDoris · 16/01/2011 21:25

Nope you're not the only one. I have cried every time I have started my period. I expect the same this month :(

Chocolocolate · 16/01/2011 21:34

Thanks everyone.

I really didn't think I'd cry. I know the odds, and that it's likely that it'll happen eventually, but I just couldn't help it.

Poor DH didn't know what to say. He cuddled me and said "Don't worry Darling, I'll try harder next month" Sad

I feel really bad for putting pressure on him.

We'll get there.

chocolocolate sorry you're having a hard time - TTC makes everyone go a little bit mental, I think it's the hormones and the build up of anticipation every month. Fingers crossed it will happen for you soon. If it makes you feel any better, I am currently ttc #1 and conceived in the 2nd month of trying and micarried at 8.5 weeks - this time around I'm 6 months of ttc with nothing yet - I'm hoping it's taking a bit longer because my body's working on something better this time!!!

poissonrouge · 17/01/2011 04:35

I was right. I should have placed that wager. Not preg again this month.

Ho hum.

ChippingInSmellyCheeseFreak · 17/01/2011 04:45

Choco - it's very early days, relax, enjoy the practice!!

Poissonrouge - sorry matey :( Not sure how long you've been trying for but I hope you don't have to wait too much longer.

Chocolocolate - If it helps, we are also on our second month of TTC #1 and we had SWI every day around my fertile period, but my temp dropped this morning so expecting AF today or tomorrow.

Next month we are going to try to be a bit more relaxed. Somehow I thought if we had enough SWI at the right time it would all work, but we've disproved that theory now, so just going to see how things go this month.

Hi chococolate, my Mum got pregnant within one month of ttc my sister and two with me. My sister was v quick (not even really trying quite yet) with her DS (I love him to bits - she may read this!!). My in laws had 2 "surprises" and one other child so we assumed genetically we'd be super fertile and it would happen super fast for us...it's been 13 months. I think when you're TTC every month is a disappointment no matter how diplomat you try to be. Chin up chuck, have a browse round and talk to people on here you'll see it's varied for everyone. Don't panic just yet!!

Mondayschild78 · 17/01/2011 21:46

Hi chocolocolate, totally with you on that. When we first started we were trying to keep it relaxed and 'see what happens' but have felt totally disappointed when it 'hasn't' happened and have become a bit more obsessed.... Trying not to put pressure on DH and just be patient but it is difficult (especially when all your closest friends and family seem to be pg). Good luck Smile

Chocolocolate · 23/01/2011 20:52

Thanks for the support everyone.

PinkRabbitFood I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage.

I'm feeling a bit better now and we're back to swi.

My 17 year old cousin gave birth to her second yesterday (both were unplanned) - how do they do it?
