Trying, but no luck!

My story.... I'm 26 and my husband and I have been married for a year and a half. (We're high school sweethearts.) Before we got married, although we had decided that we were ready for kids, in every sense of the word- emotionally, financially, etc, we decided to wait. You see, my sister was getting married in Italy 9 months after my wedding and the last thing I had wanted was to be 9 months pregnant and flying across the Atlantic Ocean. So, we waited.

We've been trying for almost 10 months now and still nothing. When I was younger, I had ovarian cysts, but my doctor had assured me that this wouldn't cause any problems. Last year when I went for my annual, my new OB had informed me that my uterus was folded in half on top of itself. She said this was nothing to worry about and it is in fact quite common. I'm getting to the point where I think this may be causing a problem.

I've had a very regular cycle since I took myself off of the patch (years ago- and only used for regulation.) My period comes every 30 days without fail; along with the once a month acne and cramps like you wouldn't believe. My periods also are very heavy on days 1-4 and usually last 7-8.

Here's the thing, I was due to get my period on 3/8, but yesterday (3/3- five days early) I had a light pinkish brown discharge with slight cramping. I thought, maybe my body is changing a bit and decided that it wants to be on a different schedule. Thinking it was just an early period, I put in a tampon. When I pulled it out a few hours later, there was blood on it, but not nearly as much as there usually is on day one. (Usually on day one, I have to change every 45 minutes to 1 hour.) Now today, 3/4 there is no "real flow." I also have not gotten my monthly zit. There is still slight cramping, a little breast tenderness, but nothing else.

I'm going to wait a few days before I take a test, to see if my body is in fact changing and just wants to be on a different schedule. I'm just hoping that this is implantation bleeding. Nothing would make us happier (or my in-laws) than to have a baby.

trying to get pregnant

Hi, I'm 22 yrs old, soon to be 23. My bf and I have been trying to get pregnant since October but no luck so far. I was on the pill and stopped taking them in the middle of October. I had my menstruation on November and December was the last time I had them.

I am now 2 months late but not pregnant. I took several home pregnancy tests but they were all negative. I even went to the doctor, passed 2 tests and one blood test but they all came back negative.

I don't know what to think or do anymore. I have another doctor appt on March 13 and hopefully she'll be able to tell me whets going on.

Here I am Again...

So I posted almost a year ago, after my tubal ligation reversal. It's been 14 cycles since I had the surgery and I'm now on progesterone and clomid (evil little pill!!!). I am 10 DPO and too scared to test right now.

I don't even know if I'm late because the progesterone makes my cycles longer. Shoot, I don't even know where in my cycle I usually am! The clomid dries up my CM, makes my temps all funky and gives me false positives on my OPK's.

This month, though, I happened to hit the OPK's at the right time so I know I'm 10 DPO. *sigh*

Still waiting and hoping.

help me

I think I am pregnant, I am not sure of not butt I asked my boyfriend what he would do if I was pregnant and he said that it wouldn't be his or what ever. I'm really nervous I tried beer for the first time in my life and worse came to worse (but that was the whole meaning of this - I wanted to have sex).

I’m really scared and if I am that my boy friend will break up with me. I am 13 and my last period I was bleeding out brown not like a dark brown and I am getting a bit nervous.

I will be too embarrassed to go out and get a pregnancy test. And if I get caught with it than my dad will explode. I’m really exited to know if I’m pregnant. If I am I will try to keep the baby. I don't believe in abortion but I’m like sooo anxious.

I want to know.

When?

Well I'm 18 and me and my husband to be have been trying to get pregnant for a while and today, a week after my last period and two days since I last had sex, I spotted, which could be breakthrough bleeding...

I really want kids and I don’t want to get my hopes up but its just so hard... so WHEN? When am I going to finally be able to tell everyone that I'm pregnant and be able to bask in the beauty of pregnancy? I mean my mom has many kids and so does her mom... including my older sister who had kids when she was 16... Could I be the one that can’t have kids?

I hate having to wait and question and wonder about the unknown... All I want is kids and that’s all I ask for... It sucks when people tell me I’d be such a good mom... And "Why don’t you have kids yet?" I hate it... so maybe soon I’ll be able to say, "Hey everyone I’m pregnant". But When?
