Keeping hope

Well my story is kind of long. I am 19 and engaged to the love of my life John. We have a 21-month-old son named Johnny who is named after his father. After having our son I went on the Depo-Provera shot to avoid another pregnancy so soon. Well we decided we wanted to expand our family and try for another little one. I have been off the shot since July of 2005. Right away I got my period back. The shot is actually supposed to take away your periods but it did not for me. I actually was still getting it about every 2-3 months.

Well my last cycle has been very strange and almost as it was when I just found out I was pregnant before. You see with my first baby I was on the pill. It did regulate my periods too. Well one month I missed a few pills here and there but didn't think anything of it. Well one month I got my period on time and as usual. Well about a week and a half later I got my period again! I was so worried about why I started to bleed again. At this time I was only 16 and asked my mom for advice. (She too went through being a teen mom.) She advised me to stop taking the pill just to make sure everything is ok. Well we waited and weeks went by and nothing no period and no positive HPT's. Well one day my mom asked if it came yet and I said no and off we went to Walgreen’s to buy a test. We took it together and finally a positive came. I was seven weeks when I found out I was pregnant.

This time I keep getting the flashbacks of how I felt and the strange bleeding. I got my period on Dec. 18th. This one was normal for me lasting about 5 days. Well exactly a week later on Dec. 25 I started bleeding once again! Once this happened I had it in my head I was indeed pregnant as this happened before. Well I waited and waited and nothing. Finally on Jan. 29 I started to bleed again, but not like a normal period for me.

Throughout this whole time I took HPT's and all came back negative. I am so confused. I have been emotional like crazy! (I actually cried because Burger King was closed and I was craving it). Also I’ve been tired, moody, peeing constantly, the lines in my boobs are popping out more than ever, and my nipples are extremely sensitive. It's now Feb. 8 and I haven't tested since before I got my period in Jan. I really want a baby but I'm so nervous about getting another negative. Everyone at work thinks I am and comments on how my stomach is bigger and rounder. Even my own dad asked me if I was expecting! I just don’t know what to do anymore. It's like my body is playing tricks on me or something. I will probably test again, but I don’t know when.

Well thanks everyone for reading my story and sorry if it jumps all over the place!

The LH test was finally positive.

After being so busy complaining that I haven’t ovulated, finally on my first cycle of Clomid and on day 19, I saw a positive ovulation test strip. I was so happy, I called my husband and told him....

Right away after, I gave gGd all the glory for answering my prayers.

Later that day it so happened that I had a doctor’s appointment with my infertility specialist. He was very encouraged to see a positive test, and he told me that I should go home and try....

So sure enough that’s what we did.... try, and pray...

We have to wait one week before I can take a blood test to confirm that I did ovulate, and then one week after that, I can test to see if God has answered our prayers, and created our miracle baby.

I’m so blessed, and I will stay positive.... I know now that there is hope for people who have been told that they might not be able to have a baby. I want to beat those odds.

Long story short, I am so happy and if pregnancy doesn’t happen for us this month, then I’m almost certain that it will happen shortly.

Thank you God for answered prayers.

I'm Confused

Well, I hope someone reads this.

It all started when me and my boyfriend started being sexually active. We had a couple scares about me being pregnant but I always ended up getting my period. The last two times my period has been super late. I got it after like 50-55 days and that’s happened to me before as well.

It’s been about 45 days now and I still haven't gotten my period. The last time I had it was around Christmas time.

I took two HPTs and they were both negative.

I haven't felt sick, or had any breast tenderness. I have been a little moody though.
About 2 weeks ago I did have mono really bad, it’s subsided now but I'm wondering if that may have something to do with why I’m not getting my period.

I also was wondering how accurate those HPTs are because I’ve heard that some people can take like 5 tests and all be negative and still be pregnant.

Am I or not????

Well, I tested for the first time last night and it was negative. Although I am fully aware it may be too early. I am just so excited. Me and my boyfriend had sex right around the time we needed to in order to get pregnant and I am beginning to have symptoms. Sore breasts, big veins in my breasts that are clearly visible, which I had with prior pregnancy, tired beyond belief and super mean and moody.

I guess it all could be signs of af but it's great to hope and pray that maybe this month is the month that I get blessed with a miracle. My last period was Jan. 9 2007, and it's now Feb 7, and sometimes my cycles can be 28 days, sometimes more, like 32, so I am going to wait till me and boyfriend get back from Vegas this weekend and test again.

Pray for me to have a positive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Hard

Hi my name is Jennifer. I have been in foster care and group homes for 7 years. Well now I’m 17 and I went to this one foster home in Greene NY and my foster mom let me do what ever I wanted to do so I went to my boyfriend’s house all the time; I even spent the night with him.

Well, in January 2007 I went to a doctor and I told her I did not get my period yet so she gave me a test and it was positive, so I went out and at the time my caseworker was with me and I was crying and he said, “well what did the doctor say?” I said, “I'm having a baby”. He said ok and it was really hard to tell my foster mom, so I asked him if we could all get together and tell her so I would have people with me.

Well that night I told my mom and my family. Everyone was with me and helping me. Well like 3 days went by and I called my mom and she had told my foster mom. Well my foster mom was really mad at me. Days went by and it was getting worse so I went to a another foster home and now I’m going to get placed in a home for teenage moms in Buffalo of Albany to help me know what I need to do when I have my baby.

It’s really hard for me right now so thanks to everyone who is listing to my story
