New To The Bump

Hello. I'm not sure what to say here so I'll just write a little about myself.

  My name is Michelle. I got married last April. We have been trying to conceive since a few months before the wedding. When I was 16/17 my doctor told me that my HCG levels were high but that I wasn't pregnant and he thought I may have had an early miscarriage. Other than that I haven't had any pregnancy experiences. Though I hardly call that one because A.) I didn't know if/that I was pregnant and B.) There are so many women out there that go through miscarriage and feel the pain and heartbreak and I didn't so I don't necessarily call it a pregnancy experience. I was too young and silly to know the difference.

  I have been in three long term relationships including my husband and have had no luck getting pregnant. Though age is not a problem and I know (because people tell me all the time) that I have plenty of time, it doesn't mean that I don't want a child and a chance to start my family now. I've heard it all before; "Give it time."...."It will happen when it's meant to"......"Stressing doesn't help anything".

  Every month we have tried and every month it hasn't happened. I did go to the doctor and I am not far along into the process because she told me that she doesn't see any reason I'm not getting pregnant. I am overweight, but other than that I am extremely healthy. I do have a cyst that they are monitoring but the doctor stated that she didn't think that would have anything to do with not getting pregnant.

  I joined here because there are not a lot of people that I've found who understand. And it would be really helpful to meet/chat with women who are or have gone through this situation. I'm hopeful that my journey here will bring advice/experiences/friends. I'd be grateful for any questions or comments. I look forward to my time here at "The Bump"

Welcome!! I would suggest purchasing the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It tells you so much about how your body works and ways to track your cycle through taking your basal body temp to maximize your chances of getting pregnant.
