Trying to Get Pregnant

Hello from a newbie

Hi there. I've been trolling a few months now and have decided to introduce myself. So here goes.

My name is Ana and my husband and I have been ttc for about 7 months. Today reached another wait as my flow arrived a day too soon. What a crusher it is each month. Holding on to hope until the day I leave the bathroom defeated knowing that another month has passed and we have be unsuccessful. I know it's been less than a year and I shouldn't be impatient or start worrying too much but the disappointment is still there. Thanks for being out here to support in the way you can.

Cheers to another month of trying. Tonight I'll drown my disappointment with a bit of craft beer hoping that soon I'll have a reason to give up my occasional beer.

Sigh.

  • Hi.welcome and good luck
  • Welcome!  And I'm sorry to hear you are feeling down.  At least you get to enjoy your craft beer for one more month!  What is your favorite?  I used to be a BIG beer drinker until I realized I also can't wear the size pants I like and have a beer drinking hobby lol.  I still like an occasional craft beer though.  Pumpking is my fav. =)
  • Nessmatthews, I like the pumpkins too. Very into ipa in summer, stout in winter and had a lovely centennial fresh hopped ale last night. I know what you mean about the pant size. I have to constantly balance my workouts to support my craft beer habit. ;)
