Am i the only person who thinks this?

[PinkiePoo]

Hello all...

My partner and I are trying for a baby and in our first month of trying. AF is due on Sat, fingers crossed i don't get to see it.

But i cant help but think this is going to be a difficult ride....I have never thought the prospect of having children ever be a difficult one but now i have started trying, I am now wondering if i am going to find it hard to conceive.

Am i the only one who thinks this? Or am i not the only paranoid being on Mumsnet??

Morning ladies. What a miserable drizzly day it is here in South London, it kind of suits my mood. Despite all my best efforts to distract myself this month I am still symptom spotting like mad on the off chance that our one drunken encounter might have resulted in something. I'm at day 25 of my cycle and had mild period-like stomach cramps yesterday along with backache and a pinky brown discharge which I convinced myself straight away was implantation bleeding. Rather impulsively tested using a cheapy this morning and of course it was negative but I seem to have lost all rational thought and even went to sleep holding my stomach protectively last night - it's going to be long 7 days until AF is due!!

MrsWajs you must be so fed up by this stage. It's the feeling of frustration of just waiting and not being able to do anything that's the worst. Fingers crossed your next test is a BFP.

Lucy sorry I forgot about your European Easter trip, will definitely be keeping you busy and we all need a break from RL just to keep us sane!

Pinkie hope you're ok too, come back to us if you need us.

LADIES......I ma right here, ha ha!!

No plans in easter, i have 3 weeks off, due to being a teacher, bliss, but keeping myself busy with visits to the sister and nephew in Cambridge and various little trips.

cc it may still be a bit too early.....but really rooting for ya. Let me know.....the waiting is the absolute worst!

mrswajs docs are the bain of my life at times....always saying come back next week if no different. hang on in there girl..hopefully you will get that BFP soon!

lucy wow....you lucky thing. Jetsetters are us!! What with cc going to Miami soon, me? jealous? never

As for little old me, i have a day with the OH as working from home, but neither of us are in no SWI mood, slightly hungover if i am frankly honest, the perks of being non-preggo. Then off to teach later tonight. Roll on Sunday, when i have my lovely 3 weeks off.....ahhhhhhhhhh

what other thread, am i missing something here???

Can't find the other thread......mrswajs hope you are ok?? and your poor DH. Not sure what has happened?!!

Let me know everything is ok.....has AF arrived yet too?? x

Thanks for letting me know lucy x

Pinkie I think Lucy is referring to First Time Frolickers, which is the other thread I'm on! DP fell on Thursday and has broken both his wrists so is all plastered up!

lucy thanks for your support! DP is okay, just sore, we have to go back to hospital tomorrow morning to see what the treatment for the next few weeks is gonna be. Hopefully not plaster casts for both because I'm gonna need to take time off work if that's the case!! I think DP is secretly quite liking the fact that I have to shower him in the morning!!

On the TTC front - still no news, with all the hilarity I hadn't realised I was on CD39!! Just chilling about it tho - even had a glass of wine last night that's how convinced I am that I'm not pg!! Probably now I bloody will be and spend the next 9 months feeling guilty!!xx

Hello Ladies, would you mind if I joined you?

We're TTC no 1 for us (no 3 for DH) and I am really starting to get panicky!

We're only on our 4th cycle, but I just can't shake this feeling that it won't happen for us. As somebody else said, somebody has to be in the 20% who don't conceive within a year.

I'm sure that it is unfounded, but I just wish I could relax. I'm using the CBFM, according to which I am ovulating so that has been a bit of a relief.

The main problem is that DH really doesn't seem to get my sense of urgency. I'm 30, and he is mid 40s, yet he still seems to think we are both spring chickens and that I am fretting about nothing. He insists that I don't tell him when my fertile times are as he would feel pressured, which I do (kind of) understand, but it is so frustrating when it is ovulation day and he is too tired/not in the mood to DTD.

I'm trying to hold onto the fact that if it takes us a few more months, then that would mean a spring baby which would be ideal but every time AF arrives I feel devastated and it is being compounded by the fact that I am resentful that he doesn't seem to be fully on board.

Sorry for the massively self indulgent post, just feeling a bit at the moment.

MrsWajs oh no....bet he is fully milking this though. At least it may have taken your mind off the AF.....if it ever comes, lets hope it doesn't ;-)

FourofFour WELCOME [GRIN].... you and me both honey, in very similar situations. My OH has 1 DD and he is mind thirties and i am late 20's. I too (hence why i started this thread) think that its not going to happen for me, or will take a VERY long time. You have 1 up on me though, your ovulating. I however am not, or too late....grrrr.

But hate to say it, your DH is right. I bought the CB Ov tests and ended up in a foul mood everyday because there was no so the oh has banned them. I am on cycle 2, nearing onto cycle 3 as the cramps have arrived....

hang in there sweetie. If it does not happen just yet, enjoy each other, do things you wouldnt be able to if you were preggo or with children and relax.

We are all here for each other and this is a great thread for support, lots of bitching and general chit chat....so enjoy

Where has everyone gone......have you all deserted me for other threads.....
