I So Want a Baby
Posted: 09-06-05 09:19am

I am so depressed at the moment and dont know what to do ive been with my bf for 5 years now and have been trying for a baby for 4 years he already has 2 older children from a previous marriage as he is alot older than me I feel that my time is running out. I am only 25 and have dreamed of becoming a mother for so long, I work with babies all day as I am a nursery nurse and it kills me every time I pick one up I want it to be mine. I feel so unhappy and it is getting in the way of my job and my relationship. I am very overweight and feel that this could be my problem even though I have tried I cannot loose weight and are spiraling deeper into depression any advice would be greatful thanx

Have you talked to a doctor about this? I had a friend that has been married for approx 5 years and had been trying all that time. They went to the doctors for test, they tried everything known to man and finally she had a little girl back in may. You just have to put your situation in god hands and he will take care of you & your future baby. Good luck and keep us posted!!!

As a " big " fan of the larger ladies I have had a tendancy to misplace the baby batter. I mean, have sex once in the dark with one and it's easy to slip slim willy into the adjacent and numerous... Rolls. My advice, get youy co-ordiantes straight and stick it where it counts.

I know that it is harder to conceive if you are overweight. Maybe that can be your inspiration? Think your doing it for your baby. Stay away from caffein, have your partner drink a lot and im sure it will happen soon
good luck!

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 3 years now. I have gone in and out of depression. Right now I am at the is there really a god stage. I just watched my 15 year old neighbor bring her baby home. With all the babies that are addicted to drugs or killed then there are respectable people like us that would do anything to have the it's a baby sign in front of our house. I find it alot easier to get depressed then to think about it at all. But then I remember why I want to have a baby and what a baby means to me. I am going to keep trying and make it happen and so will you. I listened to my two years old neices this weekend and they made a lot of sence in just saying to each other
you can do it! Just belive in yourself it makes everyday a little better.

I think that if you wana get pregnant so much your body stresses itself out when you have sex.
Relax and enjoy sex dont think oh I hope this one will get me pregnant
just go with the flow and it will happen naturaly.

i too want to have a baby. We have been trying for 5 months and nothing yet. I have pcos (poly cystic ovaries) and understand that this could make getting pregnant difficult. I am not saying that this is your problem but it may be worth checking into. Some of the symptoms include: over weight, loss of hair or male pattern baldness, irregular or no periods, facial hair or hair on chest or back. If you have any of these symptoms, you should talk about it with your doctor. There are medications to help control your blood sugar levels because people with pcos are insulin resistant. Let me know. I just thought I would throw it out to you. I was looking at fertility monitors today online and I am thinking of buying one they are 179.00 right now at cvs plus the test strips but really if it helps me get prego than it is worth every penny to me. I was reading the reports on the clearblue monitor and they were all really good. You might want to check them out too. Okay best wishes to you and keep me posted. Maris

Thank you everyone who replied especially maris , I too have alot of the symptoms you have and I havnt yet been to my doctor could you explain what it is a bit more and what the machine does as I am so desperate to have my own baby. I know exactly what one of the replies meant by how it seems drug users and underage children who dont even want children get them, I myself have a not 1 but 2 sisters who got pregnant at 15 and did not want to they wanted to be out with thier mates. My older sister has had both children taken away from her as she can not look after them and my younger sister left it up to me and my mum to raise her little boy who is now 6 and about a year ago she thought she was ready to actually start being a mother and now she is pregnant again just like that, sometimes things just seem so unfair as I have been tryin 5 year and they didnt even want children and now have 2 each whats that all about. Anyway thanx 4 all the support I wil let u all know how we get on luv 2 all macala

Hello!

Okay so I went to cvs and bought a clearblue fertility monitor. It was expensive but I have read really wonderful things about it and if it helps to get me prego than it is worth every penny. The monitor was 200.00 and the sticks for testing are 50.00 for a 3 month supply. Every morning you test your urine. Everytime you test it tells you how fertile you are and the best days to have sex to conceive your baby. This helps with people like me that are irregular by a few days or a week every month. It is so hard to tell what day your are ovulating if your period is irregular. The monitor detects a rise in hormones prior to ovulatuion which is the best time to concieve a baby. The other type of ovulation kits you can buy over the counter dont detect a rise in hormone levels until after you have ovulated, which most of the time is too late. I am really excited. Wish me luck. I will keep you all informed. Hugs - maris

Wanting a Baby
Posted: 09-17-05 10:44am

Hi. My name is jessica and I am newly married. I too would like a baby and go through similar pangs of agony when I see a baby or a pregnant friend. It seems everyone is pregnant....Except me. My advice for you and your boyfriend is to do something that doesn't have to do with conceiving or babies. Take a walk in the park, go to the movies, go to a museum. Do something that you would enjoy as a couple....That maybe you have enjoyed in the past before trying to get pregnant. Maybe going out for dinner or even having a candlelit dinner at home woud be the perfect thing. If you want to tone it down some rent some movies and order take-out. Who knows what will happen when you relax and get close to him. Enjoy yourself, remember to breathe and laugh. Have fun and good luck.
