DH and I are in month 2 of trying to conceive. According to an ovulation test, I ovulated yesterday. Having sex at all the right times, and regularly every couple of days during the month so we're doing all we can. I really hope this doesn't take months to get pregnant because my mental health is going to suffer! I have no reason to think this, but I'm so scared of having fertility problems and I worry about it a lot. Eek, all this worry and it's only month 2. Need to relax! :-S
I'm in the same boat as a lot of you! Just ended our first cycle of trying with a bfn. I've been baby crazy for a couple of years but now we are in the right space to begin trying. I'm having such a tough time trying to stay mentally strong! A girlfriend of mine just got pregnant with an "oops baby". She posted on Facebook a photo of her sonogram and I busted out crying. Everyone seems to get pregnant so easily and I don't know if I can make it through months of failed cycles. I'm trying to stay positive and make it fun but as a control freak I don't know how to handle something so out of my control.
Oy vey. This is month #1 trying and today I'm 10dpo with a negative FRER yesterday. Yesterday I was SO depressed and it completely shocked me how much I was affected by it. I questioned absolutely everything I've done in preparation. I've been tracking my periods for years in anticipation of finally making the decision to start trying. I thought it would be easy because of my preparation, but this isn't easy, and the wait is a killer! I've been surrounded by three "whoopsies" recently and that just makes the process that much harder. Man, I so wish I could shake this funk, I'm not used to being such a negative Nancy!
Same boat as most of you here! Seriously hoping that it happens soon so I can use the summer for maternity leave to extend it by 2 months (I work in the school district).
My SIL had an "oops baby" 9 months ago, as did my cousin 10 months ago and my sister got pregnant THE FIRST TRY with BOTH of her kids. My SIL likes to tell me that "I still have plenty of time". Thanks girlfriend, but remember I'm only 6 months older than you!!!! :-q
@laurenm2123 my SIL says the same thing while the other SIL is pregnant with the first grandchild in the family and loves every second of it, they know we are trying and i am VERY happy for them but at the same time I feel kind of depressed, everyone is excited for SIL and not very interested that we are currently trying..:( need to snap out of this funk!
My first month drove me insane, however this month I have taken to using ovulation kits. It's helped with the urge to pee on a stick and taken away a large amount of the anxiety, don't get me wrong it's still frustrating but I found it helps
I just sent myself a Bouqs floral arrangement for the day after I'm due to test or get AF. This way if I'm disappointed, I have something to cheer myself up. If it's positive, it will just be a bonus.
Also, planning on sending myself a bunch of notes of encouragement to stay strong and positive. I'm getting a little nuts. Honestly, this whole just relax thing is not working for me.
Hi everyone I'm new to this discussion in fact I'm new at trying to conceive! I'm 31 and stopped taking the pill 1 week ago and already I'm impatient and anxious about how long it's all going to take. I've been on the for 14 years and can't remember the last time I had a proper period I just hope everything's as it should be..
I went off BC in the middle of may. Since then my periods have been regular about 28 days. My last period started July 13th (31 days ago) and I've taken 4 pregnancy tests all with negatives. I am going crazy!! I'm forcing myself to wait before I take another test. This TWW and me are not friends at the moment. Grrr
Same here!! Went off pill in June and AF has always come on CD28. I am on CD28, no sign and negative test. Trying to wait at least a few days before testing.
Hello everyone! I'm new to the bump, and new at TTC. I've been lurking the TTC discussions for a while, and I gotta say, it's been very helpful seeing that a whole lot of people are feeling the same way as me. I'm currently experiencing my first TWW, and I did not expect it to be this nerve-wracking. I feel like discovering this community has helped keep me sane so far lol
@BumpCaitlin@BumpTara@BumpAdmin could you please unpin this post? Or at least pin the Ultimate Guide to TTGP so that it is above this post? Newbies are not getting to the important posts because they see this first. Please and thank you!

Beginning the last week of my TWW...one thing I have learned from this is I'm really not a patient person lol not when it comes to this!! I have tested early... I know, I know...I should wait. I just get my hopes up when I read how early some people have gotten at least a faint line. But I am slowly accepting I may be that larger percent of woman whose test won't say positive until after a missed AF. Or I'm not pregnant..either way gonna stay positive and try my best. "Just keep swimming.."- dory lol
I am now 4 days late, but test I took 4 days before missed AF was negative. Only symptoms I have besides missed AF is slight cramping. When would people recommend for me to take another test?
Hi all, new here. Been TTC for sometime now and feeling more and more frustrated with each cycle. Has anyone had any experience using ovulation test kits? I ordered some strips online but feel like I have no idea how to properly use them. I'm not sure when to time BD in relationship to a positive test. Any and all advice welcome!

This is a good start. Also read a bunch of other posts here and pick up temping. Loads to learn.
My advice is preparing for a BFP to take several months. We are in our 3rd month of trying again. Been TTC since the end of Decemebr 2014, got a BFP in March but it ended in a MC. My cycle didn't return for another month and then my cycles went from 26 days and back to 28 days. All of this has lead to missing the right days. I am now using OPK's and just started temping. Never in a million year would I have imagined it would have been this hard. I am just hoping for a BFP again soon because I am tired of waiting. I can't imagine what it is like for couple who try for years. Other people's pregnancy announcements do not make it any easier. There is someone who is almost full term and we went off birth control aroundthe same time. If you are one of those people who get pregnant right away, do not take it for granted.
Not trying to scare anyone but sometimes TTGP isn't always easy.
ladies it took me 3 years to get pregnant. iwas trying and trying and trying I have very irregular periods. I don't get them at all when I do I'm very surprised. my doctor said that the reason I'm not getting pregnant was because I had too much stress and because of depression I had gained weight and I was very unhealthy after I changed my diet and have less stress I got lucky and I'm being blessed with a baby boy that just tells you it may take months it may take years but it will come ladies. Be strong have faith believe you can do it all women can don't get discouraged keep trying! I wish every single one of you ladies trying to conceive the best of luck may God be on your side and when the time is right he will give you a blessing

I don't think this accomplished what you think it did....
I feel like the wait is endless! I ovulated the other day (first positive ovulation test since off the pill in June but I'm not temping) and we did the BD the night before and the day of and the following three days after the positive. I'm trying to stay positive but I don't think it will happen this month because I was on the pill for 11 years! Everyone around me is getting pregnant, including at my job (I teach) so I smile and say congratulations but last time, I went home and cried. We both want this so bad and although we just started trying, I have some kidney issues that can go one way or another so I'm keep fingers crossed! I can take a HPT next Monday so for now my fingers are crossed!

I stopped taking my pill in June after 11 years. I couldn't have timed my ovulation better and did everything I could but just got a BFN at 9dpo! I think I'm such a control freak, this has just made me so frustrated! FX our wait won't be too long x

It's incredibly rude to use this thread to showboat your BFP to perfect strangers still waiting.
