Hi,
So, my husband would rather term it 'not preventing pregnancy' than 'trying to get pregnant' as he feels the use of the word 'trying' will lead to feelings of 'failure' if we don't succeed.
We've been 'not preventing pregnancy' for 16 months now, following me being on the contraceptive injection for 2 years and the Pill for 9 years before that. So far, no luck.
Any advice for how I might be able to improve our chances? Trying to keep that insane side of my brain quiet (the part that is stamping feet like a toddler and demanding a baby NOW!!) and trying hard to listen to the sane side of my brain which is whispering calming words of advice such as the fact that I need to give my body more time to get back into a 'natural' rhythm.
Have had a few periods since Jan 09 but nothing for the last 3 months, pregnancy test negative but feeling tearful, needy, generally emotional + hormonal, no breast, back or stomach pain as usual before period due though and not really sure what to think. Have been taking Folic Acid for about six months now (when I remember - am crap at daily pill taking).
Am feeling envious of friends who have got babies/expecting babies and am feeling like a bit of a faker every time I smile and say congratulations to someone else, coz all I'm thinking is Why not me??? Any advice/moral support useful.
Thanks x x x
