Hey girls.
You must be getting fed up with me and my moaning by now. I'm now on to Month 5 of TTC which I know for some is only the beginning. Also I'm not doing the full TTC thing i.e not done OV tests or checking temp or anything. The reason for this is cos I want the TTC experience to be fun. We were starting to get stressed out enough without doing all that. Now though I'm worrying that what if there's a problem? I don't want to wait another 6 months before going to the doctors for tests. Why are all the home Ov kits so expensive, do they not know we're in the middle of a recession?????
I guess the main reason I'm so annoyed/anxious/uptight is cos we thought we'd done it last month only for my AF to be late for the first time EVER. And cos I just want a baby soooooo much.
I'll welcome any responses. Rant over. Thanks girls. xxx

Ok girls, please tell me I'm not alone. x

Ok girls, please tell me I'm not alone. x

hey torp- you are definitly not alone- i thought we had done it this month too- but af showed her ugly face on monday- cd1 for me again- 14mth ttc here- i'm getting really really discouraged- have a doc appt on friday to see what in the world is the next step- it is so disappointing month after month- i am totally with you!!!

your def not alone. we are on month 6 and sometimes i feel like i will explode. we did start using opks and stuff but i got so consumed with it all we stopped and stepped back a bit. all this ttc stuff is just so stressful. big hugs hunxx

My god ally24 you put me to shame, here i am moaning 6 months in and poor you have been at it for 14 months.
angel100 - thats my whole point about the opks, I don't want to add more pressure.
At the moment I'm sitting here on my own with tears running down my face. I've realised that I'm usually in control of things I do. And if something needs done I do it but I really have no control over this one. Fed up hearing it'll happen when it's right. I want it now.
Thanks girls for your responses. I may be going mad but atleast I'm not alone.lol. x

no your not alone and the month i did the whole opks and everything was the month i was more upset than ever. we didnt try last month so have come back fresh this month and trying my best to stay calm but it is so hard.

sending big hugs hun, you sound like you can do with it. i am a contol freak.lol. i find it so hard to not have control over this when i had my lo i came off the pill and bang i was pregnant but not this time.xxx

No hun, you're not alone... We have been TTC since July 08 - 16months I think? I'm sick of counting...

Used OPK's for first time Sept but not Oct... Have told OH we are getting a CBFM if AF arrives as expected next week. I will give it a few cycles of CBFM then get myself to DR's I think, though don't really want to admit defeat just yet.

It will happen for all of us I am sure

***sprinkles babydust***

Just to add, the OPK's that I used were off the Access Diagnostics site and were pretty reasonable and there's always ClearBlue OPK's on e-bay sealed and everything for about £11. Never had any just browsed!

wow Torp - i am having deja vu- just had that same conversation with my sister- I too, am in control of all aspects of my life but not this one??? i just don't understand it- been thru the tests with ob last yr to make sure I was ov'ing- that was all good- we did the opk's for a couple of mths, stayed off be for a couple of mths- and nothing- so this mth- back on BE, gonna use opk's and first time- gonna do temps- going full force this month!!! it's ok- it will happen for all of us- just sucks waiting for so long- here's to lots of PMA- !!!!

Thanks girls. I just can't shake this feeling off. It's really getting me down. Hopefully we'll all be lucky soon. C'mon the PMA!!!!

Did I convince anyone else? No didn't convince myself either.

Sorry I must sound like the most miserable person and I swear I'm not. xxx

hun, remember we are all in the same boat on here so we understand completly. where are you in you cycle.xx

I'm on CD7 so just about time to start again. You're absolutely right, I'm not alone, which means I have no right to moan. Thanks girls for the advice. We'll help each other through it all.

PMA PMA PMA PMA PMA PMA PMA
Did you's believe me this time???? Thats cos I meant it.

***************sprinkle babydust**************

hun, you have every right to moan. we all get like this at some point. thats why we can come on here and vent. early in your cycle is a horrible time once you get into your cycle a bit hopefully your pma will come back with avengence.lol.
