Well we have been trying for over a year now and two mc's later and we still have nothing to show for our efforts.

Starting to think the boat has sailed and our gorgeous boy 3 will be an only child after all.

Anyone else feeling sorry for themselves? Nope, just me then.

It is unlike me to be honest, I am a very optimistic bubbly person, but kind of blue right now.

Friends popping all over the place with gorgeous babes and feeling envious.

So annoyed, dont do jealousy or envy usually and hate self pity but right now it has got the better of me and have had enough.

Gorgeous doting hubby, fantastic little boy, great life and never even wanted kids until
I met my hubby 11 years ago.

Woe is me! Someone slap me and tell me to get a grip.

Sorry needed a moan.

i know what you mean about DP's they dont understand do they, i am of the attitude of i want it and i want it now!! he's like well it will happen... infuriating beasts they are, im like you i dont wanna tell many people and i dont wanna bore or cant moan to the ones i do tell!! i find myself imagining everything, its like being pg would complete the puzzle!

Yes every month I tell myself that the feelings of nausea, cramps, etc are just af on its way but secretly I am hoping it could also mean pregnany.
Of course I come back down with a bump when af does show itself.

nobodyputsBBinthecorner · 21/05/2008 20:12

thats the point im at now... feeling nauseus on and off, boobs tender, which i NEVER have with AF so hopeful, but with every cramp im scared aF is on her way and scared deep down that im getting myself at it!

Hi everyone, just wanted to join in... Got my AF today. Been trying for ages now...had a m/c last June. Had a few months of not trying, which I really regret now, because we moved to a different part of the country, but been trying for 4 or 5 months now. I took it really badly last month cos my cycle was 34 days, which is so unusual for me - used to be 29 but is now 31 since my m/c - another thing about the m/c which upsets me cos it means there's less time for me to get pregnant in - or more time inbetween being able to...

I'm 35 and a half and really want to get pregnant asap.

Sick of it....

Hi

I'm in the same boat.

Am 39, been trying for number one and just been told by gynae it isn't going to happen, IVF is only hope.

Lost my DP is a bit like yours - if it happens it happens. To be honest I think that's the way to be and am trying to be like that.

At the end of the day, if it doesn't happen I can either chose to let it ruin the rest of my life or I can be very grateful for the good things I've got and still have a great life (just in a different way to what I thought). I'm choosing the latter!

I desparately, desparately want children but at the end of the day there's people in FAR worse situations that not having children

Good luck to everyone

Hi Billystich,
Just thought i'd let you know your not alone and have moan too! Also got one DS whos 3. Had PND after birth, and DH and I finally decided to ttc last year. Thought it would be easy- DS concieved in cycle 2, however 9 months down the line, and one m/c later, we are no closer.
Have been using OPK for last 9 months and know when I ovulate, but still no luck. Starting to worry something's wrong but know that GP won't do anything till August. Suddenly find myself now approaching dates / hols that I thought i'd been preg at when invited to last year, and attending loads of birthday parties with DS to see his friends and car seats full of their siblings. It makes me so

Hi Cathers
Gosh very similar to me, I had PND too, and only really felt the time was right to try a year or so ago.
After a telling off yesterday with some friends i have made a doctors appointment for a gyne referal, so the next step I suppose is investigation, but to be honest I am not sure I want to be poked and prodded, had a very traumatic birth with DS1, now 3, and had reconstruct surgery afterwards then lots of physio, am wondering if maybe it is not to be this time.
I know also what you mean about being thankful for what we have. My son is great and a little charmer, i feel for him a sibling would be a benefit also, he is a bit lost sometimes and the dog cant always fill in, although she does a good job of playing with him, I think she thinks he is hers most of the time!
Dh and I have discussed adoption before and now seem to be talking about it more and more as the months go on, but my next step is the gp for a referal and then we'll see.

I wonder why your gp wont do anything, have you asked for a referral, only I understand (from friends yesterday) that gp's cant really help with fertility drugs etc they have to refer, have to say I didnt know this until then either, and now worried a referal will take yet another month or two...

Hey ho, feeling a little more positive to be honest but husband is worried that my depression is returning as I am a bit glum.

But chin up girls, lets be positive and plan our next moves, whether it be gp, gyne, opk's or whatever...
