I got my stupid period today. I need someone to talk to who understands. Are you like me and need a confidant?

totally, me and my partner been trying for years also.

but this month i've been prescribed clomid for the first time so its just a waiting game for me now.

are you prescribed anything such as clomid?

I have been ttc#2 for 6 months but didn't have as positive mind frame as you. Last month I almost gave up. Have you been to a fertility specialist??? After 1 year of conceiving you should see one. I realized that I was spotting about 10dpo (I always thought it was implantation bleeding) sometimes it would be on and off. Then, in November I spotted 6dpo until AF. I called my Dr and she put me on prometrium. The spotting wasnt giving the egg enough time to implant. Prometrium keeps you from Getting AF and tricks your body to think you are pregnant. It thickens up uterine lining making it egg friendly. How long is your luteul phase?? Did you get checked for low prometrium So I started prometrium this past month. This past month I tried everything!!!! i ate yams before and around O (estrogen) I took Mucinex 2xday to thin CM, I also drove 1 1/2 hours to buy preseed! (Preseed was great!!!) it is the only sperm friendly lubricant. (I don't know if I need it but it did great! Does your man have low sperm count??? Mine doesn't but i gave him a good vitamin plus 50mg zinc. Zinc increases sperm motility and volume. I just dropped off presents at my OBGYn's office for x-mas. She knows that I was very frustrated and said that she knows I will get pregnant but that it can take a healthy couple a year to get pregnant. I felt as though I would never get pregnant this month. There was no hope in my mind. well I had to take a hpt since I was on prometrium and I am pregnant. (please don't let that upset you, I just want to help and give you more stuff to try to help you) You can try all these things (except prometrium because you need a proscription but I think you can get prometrium cream over the counter) You do need to go to a specialist though. If you did, they should have started you on clomid plus prometriu. If you do go on clomid (ovulation stimulator) it does dry you up so you should definitely go on preseed (www.preseed.com) I hope this helps you out! Baby dust!!!

Try not to be too disheartened by it all, I know how hard it can be each month thinking this could be it ,you know not to get your hopes up but you do anyway then along comes your period and you feel like its the end of the world -we all do it !

You will usually find someone on the TTC answers page to lend some support or a virtual shoulder to cry on, I would always be willing to chat if you need to.

Stay positive.

I most certainly will. My husband and I and 4 other family members had all gotten married within a 2-3 year time period and 3 couples have had 2 pregnancies, one with twins (which actually started out as triplets with no drugs!) The only ones left were me and my sister-in-law and it felt great to have someone to talk to who knew how I felt. After our heart to heart, she got pregnant the next month. I felt like I lost my last ally. My husband tries to help but I don't think a man will ever understand. I'll email you will my email address.

Im right there with you!! I have been wanting to be a mom for a long time. My husband just doesnt get it. I thought I was pregnant, took a test this morning, came back negative, and now I think Im about to start. I know 10 people that got pregnant this year and 2 of them had there babies. I feel like crap!! :(

I would be willing to be friends via email!!

Im here for you! Im in the same situation as you. This is my 12th month and I got my BFN yesterday. Im so bummed about it. I swore I was pregnant and im not :( just know that u are not alone. Take same time off during the holidays and relax try and be as stress free as possible. It will happen for all of us when the time is right i guess. Just know that ur not alone. Im so sorry all i can say is that it will happen sooner or later :)

happy holidays

WE understand. Every one in this section knows how much it sucks to have AF show her ugly face.

What worked for me was to stop making myself believe that I was pregnant month after month. I cried harder every month because each one of them were the ONE and it was all in my head. I was making myself and my husband crazy with the highs of my expectations and my obsession with early symptoms and then AF came.

I stopped having any expectation and being cautions to start -yet again- on the 2ww trap. I sworn not to put my heart in that roller coaster ride again and simply tried my best but would not obsess with symptoms and early testing and what ifs.

The month that I got pregnant I wasn't even aware that I was one day late.

Your time will come. I'm sorry that you feel this way. I know that nothing that I say will make you feel better but know that here are many women that know how you feel.
