1 year trying getting emotional

farrahmiller · October 2013

My husband and I have been trying for just over a year now and have had no luck. I know a year can be normal and I never would have thought Id get so upset at that year mark. I always said it Will happen when the Time is right but now im just getting upset. my cycles have been goofy since getting off of birth control a year ago. Ill have cycles anywhere from 30 days to 50 days. my last cycle was 50 days and I was really getting my hopes up. I just had a feeling I was I guess. I feel like I've been having some symptoms but again I don't know if it is stress. The thing is we have been going through a lot lately. My husbands parents just moved in because of a job relocation until they can find a house to buy. Mine you it is just me and my husband otherwise and knowing you Will never have any alone time is tough especially when you are trying to get pregnant. Not exactly ideal to have your parents in the bedroom below you when you are trying to have a baby. I've lost like 10 pounds in the last few weeks have no appetite a lot of the time. get full faster than normal going to the bathroom more(but have been drinking more water too) been kind of sick feeling throughout the day lately. Bowels are weird. very very emotional but not sure if that is because im over whelmed with more people in the house, work and no luck on babies. I also have been feeling fluttering in my stomach more towards the sides a few days. the one day my stomach on the left hand side was actually twitching. my last period was on cycle day 50 and it was heavy the first day then kind of normal the remaining 2 days but then it went away one night and didn't come back until noon the next day not even enough to fill one tempo then went away again that night and came back again around noon the following day and it was like a light brown mucus. Ive taken like 3 tests since I thought there was a chance and all came back negative. Hoping someone has some insight for me. I have a physical appt coming up but a month away yet.

A negative test usually means not pregnant.

Have you tried temping/charting? You might just be having bad timing.

btw what you described at the end was your period and it is normal to spot brown at the end. First day of red flow is cycle day 1. ( so last cycle was 49 days) You should read the tutorials on fertilityfriend.com and try charting.

Your story sounds just like mine. My periods have been all over the place and me and DH hit the year mark last month. I also felt like I had symptoms every month my period was late; I even went so far as to get a blood pregnancy test at one of my dr.'s appointments! It's sucks what our minds will do to use!

One thing that made me feel a little better was to get an ovulation kit at the local drugstore. That made me feel like maybe SOMETHING was working and I was doing something to help every month.

Hopefully you get some answers going forward, sorry to hear about all the stress

I'm sorry, I understand how you feel. Next friday will make our 2 year mark and it never gets any easier. I wish I could tell you something more positive, but I too have convinced myself countless times that I was KU only to get AF a few days later. IF is such a frustrating and sad thing to deal with. Try to keep your head up and your stress level down.

Thank you everyone. I did chart my temp for a while but it was so hard to do it at the same time everyday because i work night and mornings so my sleeping is messed up to. Im definitely going to try taking my temp and I also did buy an ovulation kit for this month. Ill check out that site also. Trust me I've done my research everytime my body does something different Im researching it. Most of the time I think it is my mind over thinking things.
