ttc for a year no medical problems

[yumosh]

I wonder why some are blessed with a brood (especially the undeserving lot, not PC but true!) and others have to wait??

is it nature telling me I'm not compatible with my hubby? or is it saying that I'm just not meant to be a mum,,maybe there's a another life for me..

my life doesnt revolve around making a baby or even wanting one, but it's made me look at the world differently: the environment, money, my career goals etc..

AF is due in two days but i've lost all enthusiasm...

Any tips to help me keep going??

It can take any normal healthy couple up to 18 months to concieve.

My firend is 27 no health problems had all the checks etc already has one child and has been trying a year.

Aremnyou taking vitamons i heard these help? exspecially vitamin b.

Have you tried ovulatin sticks?

Good luck and i hope you af doesnt arrive

It took us two years the first time and three the second time. The first pregnancy resulted in healthy DD now three and a half and the second pregnancy sadly turned into a miscarriage. We have no medical problems related to infertility either. I really hope it works out for you.

thanks, ladies...

tried ovulation sticks too..fingers and all crossed!

There's a one in four or one in five chance each cycle. It doesn't take much to be unlucky every single bloody time.

It took us 4 years to conceive DS, with no obvious cause ever identified. DC2 is now on the way after 6 months of not really trying. It's all completely random at the end of the day. Some are very lucky, some not so.

Please try very very hard not to stress about it. I started off like you, but as the months and years wore on it did start to get to me - a lot - and I know that didn't help. Step away from the ovulation kits, the early pregnancy tests, etc. etc. and try to let nature take its course. When I did eventually fall pregnant with DS I didn't find out until I was nearly 8 weeks gone!

Hi Yumosh

I know how stressful ttc to conceive with no luck can be, I had a lot of problems conceiving my DS, and I eventually was diagnosed with endometriosis, which was treated and I became pregnant the next month. I just wondered how you knew that you don't have any medical problems?

I was told by my fertility consultant that when trying for next baby if I wasn't pregnant within 3 months that I should go back to see him, but this may purely be down to my history of endometriosis.

I have to say that if you are having regular sex and have been for the past year, that I would go and get investigated if you haven't done already. Why not pop along to your GP and start the ball rolling? These things take quite a while to get started and to happen as each test has to be done at a particular part of your cycle and then you have to wait for next cycle to do next one etc.

Really hope you have some good news soon

thanks for advice..

had all the blood work done and internals checked! hubby too..

i blame stress, to be honest..

i am two days late now but that's happened before, so i'm not giving into testing!! i've realised that i cant trust my body as i did before ttc..had regular cycle, pms symptoms etc, but now it's all over the place.

I'm learning that the mind is affecting the body...

I'm switching off tonight, going out and having a girls' night out!!

Yumosh, that sounds so much like me. Without wanting to worry you, I had times when I was two weeks late with sore boobs, etc., and would be absolutely convinced I must be pg - test was always negative. That's why I just gave up testing altogether and consequently didn't find out about DS until 8 weeks or so.

Stress is a massive factor. It's a dreadful cliche but I put DS's ultimate conception down to having been on a relaxed holiday a few weeks previously, and also giving up coffee. Who knows if either had any effect, but something obviously did in the end.

Good luck! (And try to have fun trying if you can.)

It took a year to conceive DS. He was finally conceived when I stopped worrying, we had a lovely relaxing trip and a good christmas. I had also just lost a stone in weight.
