Don't lose sight

I am 26 years old, and my husband is 32. We decided to start trying for a baby in Oct 2006. Imagine my surprise, when I took a pregnancy test, and found that it delivered me with a positive result. After only ONE month of trying! We were both so excited. Sadly, when I was 6 weeks along, I had a miscarriage.

The doctors said that since this was my first pregnancy, it was not something to worry about. Since I was so early in the pregnancy, and my cervix had not yet begun to open, the doc said that we could try again, as soon as Jan. 07!!

My husband and I have started trying again, but I have found that although we love each other very much, and we want a family together, I have realized that it is something that will happen when it is meant to. We were getting to the point that sex was just "routine," and it was losing the romance. I don't EVER want to lose the romance with my husband that our sex life has always held.

I think that when you are trying to conceive, and you allow yourself to get completely self-absorbed, you lose sight of what is really important, and that is the closeness that you are sharing with your spouse. Just relax, enjoy the attempts, and know that when it is meant to happen, it will.

As for this month... we tried again, and I am feeling like I am getting my period about a week early, so that is a little discouraging, but we will just keep trying, and have fun doing so!

crazy or not?

Well I don’t no if I'm crazy or really pregnant I have all the signs of being pregnant, including the nice round belly. See I'm 3 months late but all tests come back negative and blood came back inconclusive, so I don’t no what do.

I want them to send me for a ultrasound but they won’t till I have a positive test. This is driving me nuts! I have sore boobs, am eating lots and peeing lots, have swollen hands, headaches, am feeling sick and tired all the time and I have a belly that looks like I'm 3 or 4 months.

so confused

I'm on the pill but last month I got really messed up taking it. I decided to stop for the month and got my period early from missing a just a few days of the pill. I started them again this month when I was supposed to and once again got off track due to moving around so much.

I've had unprotected sex a few times since my last period. It’s been about a week now that I haven't taken my pill and no period. I've been feeling really sick and moody and think there is a chance I am pregnant.

At the same time, I'm not supposed to be able to have kids (like my mother - funny right) and think maybe I’m just under a lot of stress. I don't know if or when I should take a pregnancy test.

I want a baby

Me and my husband have been married for two years and we want to start to have children. We have been off birth control for a year and have been trying hard for 6 months but no luck. I have a cycle of about 32 to 35 days long. I am only on my period for about 4 to 5 days.

I have been tracking my ovulation days and take my bt around the time I should ovulate but every month I am let down. My twin sister is due with her first child in April and I am so happy for her, but I was the first to get married and I wanted to be the first to give my parents a grandbaby.

Am I prego?

Well I don’t know if I am or not. We haven’t been trying and we haven’t been not trying. So I know there is a chance. But I have been getting my period for the past couple of months. But my period is not as long as it once was. And seems to be getting shorter by the months. Also I have been extra moody. And just unsure of what is going on because I thought I would know if I was pregnant by getting or not getting my period.

I just don’t want to take a test really because I don’t want to feel sad if I’m not or get freaked out because I am. I just want to know if it is common for these things to happen when you are pregnant or you are not! I just feel stupid thinking in the back of my head I am and then I get thoughts like, “you always think you are and never are.”

So why worry about it!
