Hi!! I'm Sarah. My DH and I have been TTC since November 2009. Every month I think I am, but then AF has to visit. DH has been really supportive through it all. This month has been a bit tougher though....I seem to be a little bit more emotional....we are hoping that we are expecting, but I won't be able to test for a couple more weeks. I wish I could test now though because I am going to the big Vera Bradley outlet sale at the end of this month, and I want to be able to buy a diaper bag knowing that I will need it soon......I still might buy it to have on hand. My SIL told me that you would feel different when you are expecting, and I hope she is right because I have been feeling REALLY different this month. I guess we shall see.

 How do I add a post to somebody else's? Do I just hit reply?

just remember that every person's pregnancy is different. I didn't 'feel' pregnant one bit until I was about 6 weeks.

And in TTC patience is very, very important. GL to you

Thanks for all the encouragement!! I posted on the Babies on the Brain board, and one of those girls was really rude. She told me that I needed to be in the trying to get pregnant board. I didn't realize that you couldn't just post anywhere. I thought that would be a good board to try since I have babies on the brain. LOL Oh well....I don't need to worry about that.

So, then why did you just post on TTGP that you did test and got a BFN????

Hi!!

Ya, I lurk on BOTB sometimes just because I really love it when people say it like it is and a lot of those ladies are really clever.  But I've never posted there.

My advice when it comes to the boards- lurk.  Lurk, lurk, lurk.  Stand back and get a feel for the board dynamic before you say anything.  And the best way to ease yourself into a board is to reply to a few posts instead of creating your own.

hth

what she said.  lol

I got an early response test....I was off on when AF was coming. It usually come around the same time, and I was just estimating on this one when I would be able to test. I'm sorry if I was wrong.....I have never thought about testing until this month.

I felt the same with my last pregnancy.  It took my husband and I over a year!  We were both 27, I already had one child and were shocked it just wasn't happening.  I actually got so down every month I decided to get on the pill for a few months for a little mental break and to finish my weight loss goal.  I was supposed to start my pills the next Sunday and instead I got a BFP!  Needless to say we were thrilled!  This time, it took me less than a month after getting my iud out.  Each time really is different.  I know saying to relax is hard but really sometimes just letting go does help!  Also, I really don't mean it in any mean way I have no idea about your size, but losing weight can help.  If you are overweight that is.  I was a chubbier than I should be, lost 10% of my body weight (which was 15lbs) and that is when we finally got pregnant.  Like I said, I don't mean to offend at all, I just credit it for helping me!

InnerHooker~ I am not offended at all. I have been on a weight roller coaster  my whole entire life. It wasn't until December of 2008 when it really hit me. I went in to get my BC, and they weighed me and I was over 200#. I have never been over that before. Then in Januaray I was put on another medicine for my eyes, and I could drink anything with carbonation in it  so I stop drinking pop and I lost probably around 30-40 pounds. I went off the medicine because of financial reason, and I haven't been able to get any more yet. I started drinking pop again, and I can tell I am starting to gain all that weight back. I need to do a little reasearch on the meds before I get back on it though because if I can't take it while pregnant I don't want to try to get my body adjusted to it again. The side effects are kind of wicked the first wee of taking it.

Thank you for the advice!!

Wow that medicine sounds intense!  I am so glad you didn't take offense.  It truly was meant as just another thought!  I was trying to lose weight just because I needed to.  It was after that I started researching that so much I read said to try losing some weight and 10% seemed to be the magic number!  Good Luck!
