This month, for the first time ever we (dh and I) have really given ourselves every chance possible of conceiving.

I've been using FAM for the first time. we've been BDing like crazy at the right time and I'm so hopeful whilst being so scared of having those hopes dashed. (i do know btw that even if we get it all right there is still only 1 in 4 chance etc).

As background: after ds was born in 2003, dh didn't want any more children. We struggled (well, I did) with this and the terrible conflict that ensued until last year.

We've been nominally trying since then, but tbh, not very hard (i.e. of 12 months, there were probably only 3 that we could have possibly conceived in).

Since the beginning of this year, dh really has changed his mind and now really really wants us to have another child. I got pregnant, but miscarried at the end of March.

First cycle I wasn't expecting to have my period 28 days (on the dot) after the miscarriage which I did.

I was absolutely miserable when I wasn't pregnant second cycle.

Now third cycle CD15. Today I found out a friend was pregnant at the same time as me, we both had a November due date. I'm so sad that we aren't having babies together and so sad for the baby that I lost.

A tarot card reader has also told me (this was a very amateur tarot reader...i know i know i know i know!!!) that no babies any time soon.

I so want to be pregnant this month and would be so grateful for your support, hand holding and prayers, vibes and lentils both in the hope of being and if I get my AF which is due on the 16th July.

I'm 37 years old and need to hold onto the fact that once we started trying properly I got pregnant fairly easily rather than letting the fact that at 37 i am decrepit with no eggs left and dh has deformed sperm be at the forefront as that is what it feels like i'm bombarded with all day every day in the press!

Any company gratefully appreciated...

Heathcliffscathy · 20/07/2009 19:18

still no period, still sore boobs. still negative preggo tests (as of this morning).

if london lottie is right my period should arrive tomorrow. i'm a tiny bit more resigned and calm today then over the weekend.

but it is still torture not knowing.

thanks for all your support ladies it is very appreciated.

jools...how did testing go?

can't you get one of those ones that tells you as soon as you have shagged whether you are pg?
argh

Joolsiam · 20/07/2009 20:21

Sophable - I'm in the same boat I think - AF was due yesterday or today but no sign apart from a teensy bit of brown when I wipe every so often. I am NEVER late, and I am certain that I am 14DPO today.

Still very nauseous, a bit dizzy, incredibly boated and very very weepy but BFN this morning, so I can only assume AF will arrive soon

I've never done early testing before - had a reason to this time because I needed to tell the recurrent mc clinic as soon as poss. However, the heartache and stress it brings is not worth it - I'm going back to testing at 16DPO next month !

Heathcliffscathy · 20/07/2009 22:15

awww jools poor you...but there is still (tortuous) hope!!! am thinking of you....

Keeping my fingers crossed for both of you! It's still possible until the witch shows up
In a way I'm glad my AF was early as it meant I wasn't going through all the torturous waiting!

Starting to use my CB monitor this month, will be nice to know exactly when I am ovulating so at least I can be reassured.

Heathcliffscathy · 21/07/2009 07:37

temp dip this morning. AF will arrive today

starting again.

sophable I am sorry it hasn't happened this month. BUT. I know it is easy for me to say but please try not to stress and obsess too much. That can be counter-productive.

A friend was taking a long time to conceive and doc recommended having sex every second day from last day of period to first day of next period. That way it doesn't matter if you ovulate early or late. Her DH was exhausted but it worked!

sophable xxx

Hollyoaks · 21/07/2009 08:11

Sophable, just skim-read thread but really feel for you. Just got to stay relaxed and enjoy the 'trying' process. Take Buda's advice, I'm sure it will put a smile on dh's face

Joolsiam · 21/07/2009 08:21

It will be our turn next month Sophable

CD1 for me - at least I wasn't imagining the nausea as I still feel rough. It must be a bug.

fishie · 21/07/2009 08:26

bugger.

CountessDracula · 21/07/2009 19:31

sorry (((())))

Katnkittens · 21/07/2009 22:11

sophable, this is going to be our month I just know it!!

Cycle 5 for me now since double mc whammy... getting fed up.

jools any news from you?

fishie · 22/07/2009 10:16

sorry sophable.

have you been to the doctor yet? lie about how long you've been trying if neccessary - i am 40 now and didn't go and still no sign of no2 here.

not to say it would have made any different or that i would have gone down assisted conception route, but still that is an area which will have to be forever unexplored.
