Are you trying to get pregnant? Let's chat. Today is not my day & I could use some friendly venting. :)

Not trying at the moment.  Middle of next year hopefully.  You can still feel free to vent to me.

I've been trying for 2 years now =(

Oh Itzel. I don't know how you do it. The sadness each month. Not to mention the expense of testing. I am glad that I posted today, even when I didn't want to. My faith has been restored & I feel confident again knowing that it will happen when the time is right. Next month, I hope that I won't be telling myself the same thing. 
 
Do you have any other children?

Amy, I was reading your post and it totally reminded me of my own situation a couple of years ago.  I noticed aunt flo was getting shorter and lighter and coming sooner and sooner every month.  Come to find out, I had low progesterone!  They told me after I got those results that it would be impossible to get pregnant with numbers as low as mine.  This was after 8 months of trying. I was angry, confused, upset, you name it, I had that emotion.  However, that very next week, I got a postive test!  So I immediately went to the Dr and they started giving me weekly shots of progesterone in my butt for the next 8 weeks.  Now I have a happy, healthy 19 month old boy.  Most Dr. won't even have you come in till you have been trying for 6 months but if you are noticing a difference in your cycle, I would make an appointment right away.  You don't even need to tell them you are trying for a baby.  Just tell them you are noticing your cycle is getting shorter and shorter and have them do some tests.  Good luck!

Hi Aimee,

I too had some problems getting pregnant, I thought just because I wanted another baby that it should be that easy. lol! Well I have always had 28 day cycles no problems then all of a sudden they started getting screwed up, one I was late by like 10 days(I think I tested everyday)  and then after that they got shorter and shorter, finally after taking tests and getting negatives I was completely disappointed. Then one morning I woke up early before my husband and took the test I thought for sure it would be negative and to my amazement I got a postive, that was after 5 months of trying. So I am sure that your time will come just be patient and keep trying it will happen. Good luck!!

I see another Angie beat me to my story. I think it might be your progestrone. May I ask your age? I know some would say age does not matter, but I find as you get more into your 30's , more and more of these issues come up... trust me. I have been dealing with these same issues and results for the last 3 years. My last pregnancy was in July and I miscarried within the first 6 weeks. :-(
 
I pray that the Lord will bless and open your womb, so you do not have to experience this kind of heartache. 
 
Blessings
Angie

I dont have children. im kindda getting used to it now. I have something called Poly cystic Ovary Syndrome, used to drive me nuts, specially in the beginning of the year when 9 of my friends got pregnant, can you believe that? everyone around me was giving the big news and all i had was a sonogram with cystic ovaries. My husband got over it faster than me, and now we are just trying to carry on, considering adoption in the future.The specialist suggested a $800 a month (with a 20% change of getting pregnant) treatment which we couldn't afford, those were hard days. Few weeks ago my father in law offered to pay for the treatment which has me very confused and afraid. I thinks its the answer to my prayers, just not in the way i expected. I just dont feel like going through all that again, but i dont want to miss the chance either. 
 
Like angie i would suggest you to see your doctor, I wish you the best. =)

Yes, I am also trying with no luck. I wanted to give my husband the perfect Christmas present (positive pregnancy test) but like you was left with a present for myself. My husband and I lost our baby at 14 weeks (I thought I was 17 weeks so was in complete shock) in Feb. 2009, we started trying again in May and still have had no luck.  Every month is an emotional rollar coaster filled with hope, disappointment, and remembering the baby I lost.  I just keep praying that God knows when the perfect timing is and trusting He will provide.

Praying for you!

I am not trying to get pregnant now but I have some advice. My first happened within the first try. My second I struggled to get preggers for 18 months with 1 loss! I went to the doctor and they said I had hypothyroidism which makes it really hard to get pregnant and bigger chances for loss. Well I was at the 18 month of trying and someone once told me not to stress out over it. (Which I was. It was devistating getting negatives month after month!) That last month I joined a yoga class! I didn't talk to anyone about how I wasn't getting preggers and how depressed I was. I didn't think about it at all! (Well tried not to anyways!) Didn't talk to my husband about it. We tried making doing the deed fun and not a chore. With everything that was against me I got preggers that month!! Now I have a healthy 3 yr old. So we wanted a third. I still have tons against me to not getting preggers again. Well again I didn't think about it. Thought if it happened it happened and 2 months of trying I got preggers. I now have a 2 month old!!

To everyone... Try not to think about it. Try not to stress over it. (Easier said then done!) Exercise and try to make doing the deed fun!! I wish everyone the Best of Luck!!
