I defintely agree with what the other party said about stop trying! I have friends that spent 4 years and thousands of dollars trying to get pregnant. They did everything you could think of. The minute they stopped trying and gave up....bam..she got pregnant.

Guys are so ignorant to the vagaries of the female body ( and hell their bodies), especially when it comes to pregnancy. I know my FH and I want to start soon after we get married and he thinks it's going to be a piece of cake and I don't want him to be dissapointed so I keep telling him all the factors that can go into getting pregnant, not least of all that I have PCOS. And while I don't have it like most other women do (I ovulate thank god) there's always that chance it could affect us.  well good luck and I wish you the best.

Aww Nat, good luck with your surgery next week.  I have a coworker who's sister just had the same type of surgery for the same thing.  I didn't ask any questions because I didn't want to intrude but I am sure everything will work out for the best!

And I agree it's not jealousy at all - it's just like a crazy baby boom right now and it's nuts!!

But I have good news, sort of!  That whole I thought I was ovulating the test stinks thing I went thru..... well I had 3 strips left the other day and had given up all hope on them.... but bam!  It detected the LH surge in my body and told me I would ovulate within the next day or two so once it is detected - get on it (lol) within 24-36 hrs.  So we did!  I can't believe all that time I thought I knew when I was ovulating, but I guess not!  What a dork!  So we'll see if it works or not.  I'll keep my fingers crossed, but not hope for anything spectatular to happen.  And if it doesn't happen, then I will try to stop trying to hard.  I know lots of people say the same thing, so I'll give it a shot (o:

Thanks everyone!!  Everyone keeps everyone updated, if that makes sense!!

Jon and I got married in February and started trying for another baby around July. we have a 10.5 month old son, and want to have another baby as soon as we can.

at first, it was the same thing for us, rena: we'd go to bed at night, have sex, and really try to get me pregnant. now, we just decied to let nature take its course. i am over a month late, but i've taken 2 EPTs and so far, they both show negative.

we would like to have a girl this time. add to our decision to try, we are getting a lOT of heat from relatives that since Travis is almost a year old, it's time to start trying again. that's not why we'r trying, though. we want another baby. and right now we're trying, but not TOO hard.

Good luck! i hope ypu're pregnant!!!!

Since miscarriages (and the fact that I have heart problems) run in my family, I have had several consultations with my ob/gyn, who recommeded either FertilityFriend.com or Mycycle.com. It basically keeps track of whether or not you ovulate, when you ovulate, and whether you might need a pregnancy test. If everything checks out with your temperatures and stuff, then it's just a matter of time. After that year long wait, the first step a doctor will have you do is several months of temperature charting for this information, so it saves a lot of time to already have it. 


My FH and I are going to start trying right after our wedding... our wedding date is actually the perfect time to start. I am expecting it to take at least a year...

So good luck! I hope that you already are pregnant!

HEY EVERYONE!!  My hubby and I just found out that we are expecting!!!  We are both SOOOO excited that it is disgusting lol.  I guess my charting and daily ovulating tests really helped out a lot.  I cannot even believe this, it is so surreal. 

How is everyone else doing??

Congrats,  I don't want to be a wet blanket but I will ask have you been to the doctors or did you do a home test.  I am just asking because sometimes the home tests are wrong and I don't want you to be disappointed since I know how bad you want this.  Anyway best of luck with your new bundle enjoy motherhood.

What wonderful news!  I do hope that verifying it with the doctor gives a positive result as well.  It just goes to show, you didn't have to "stop trying," and you also didn't have to wait as long as you feared before being able to say, "Guess what -- I'm pregnant!"

Congrats!!! that's so exciting all the well wishes in the world, I hope you keep us updated as time goes on, maybe some nice ultrasound pics ;}. It's amazing I'm scared and anxious to start trying. FH wants to try for a honeymoon baby, but I'm afraid we won't be prepared enough... but I guess we can never really be ready right? lol well this baby will be all the more special with how long it took and you can always make sure your baby knows, lol You should start scrapbooking it all!

1st of all congrats Rene!!!

Did anyone watch the new HBO show "Tell Me You Love Me"? One of the couples is going through the same thing trying to get pregnant. I watched it over the weekend and kept thinking about all the great advise you guys gave on this thread. In case you missed it, it's a good-realistic show about couples at different stages.

thanks everyone.  (o:  and yes, i've taken 4 home pregnancy tests  - 3 of them were different brands - all at different times of the day between yesterday and today and sure enough all 4 of them came up positive.  i went to the doctors today after work and had blood taken to get the "official" go from there.  i have also been (not to be nasty) but dry heaving for the past week - luckily no vomiting but close enough.  amongst a whole bunch of other wonderful pregnancy stuff.  sleepiness being at the top!

i'm so excited though i cannot stop smiling about this!!!  i didn't see that hbo show, but it sounds awesome.  it is nice to know that people do go thru the same thing though.  and it will happen, you just have to be patient and have an occasional breakdown on brides.com (o:

and i will def show you the ultrasounds!  hubby asked me yesterday when we get to see the "black" photo.  amazingly enough i knew what he was talking about!!

That's wonderful news, and am very, very happy for you!!  Hubby and I are going to try next winter...this will be a little more complicated for us, and requires him to get a vasectomy reversal.  But I was tested and am still ovulating normally, with normal hormonal levels, whatever that means for our chances.  We aren't going to use any other reproductive assistance besides the reversal.  If it doesn't happen just with that, then it doesn't happen.  Wed love for it to happen, but, we'll see.  We are doing it now so that we have a couple of years before I'd be early 40s.  Id on't know that I want to be pregnant then, don't know why it's this magical cut off for me, but...we'll see.  I know hubby is certain we will get pregnant, so I hope he is not too disappointed if it doesn't happen for us.  I also know he often daydreams about how our lives would of turned out if I'd of kissed him back 19 years ago, instead of telling him we should just be friends...but you can't go back.  Who knows how it'd of turned out anyways!!  I wonder too, sometimes, but we're together now which is what counts anyway.

So...congrats again and I hope all goes great fo ryou during your pregnancy.

We watched Tell Me You Love Me, both episodes so far, and we like it although some o fit is a bit depressing.  I think theyoung guy is a jerk, and the 40 something guy neurotic (the couple who isn't having sex) and feel sad for the couple trying to get pregnant.  But, overall I like the show because it seems pretty realistic about real life stuff and makes you feel more normal with your own little couples issues that come up...at least it does iwth us.  Now, if only they'd do a realistic show on blended families...that'd be perfect!!! With psycho ex wives and deadbeat ex husband alcoholic addicts, etc, etc!!
