Depressed About Not Being Pregnant Posted: 10-03-06 01:08am
Hi everyone,
i just want to ask if there are other
people out there who seem to have a hard
time getting pregnant when everyone around
them is! I know you should relax and let
nature take it's course but how have
others coped?
Thanks ladies,

Hi. Yeah I know what you mean! It is
like people who don't even want kids get
pregnant without trying and I am sitting
here trying and trying. But I had a m/c
in april and my cycles have been really
messed up since then so I finally went to
the doctor and he didn't think I even
ovulated at all last month and he thought
they were all screwy too (i bbt chart) so
next cycle I am starting clomid! I am
excited because hopefully it will work!
Good luck to you!

Oh yeah clomid works. I have 4 friends
that took it and were instantly pregnant.
Lol good luck to you and to blinky.
It is really important to relax and even
more important to enjoy yourself while
trying. The more you get worked up about
it the less of a chance you have. So
they say. =) good luck to both of you.

Thanks ladies, i'm glad i'm not the only
one thinking everyone is pregnant except
me. It's harder when your family and
people you are working with announce that
there pregnant and i'm happy for them but
i'm also jealous of the fact that it
should be my turn.
Anyway, i'm seeing my gyno in november and
hopefully she will also put me on clomid.
Although I have heard that after 4 months
on it and you haven't fallen pregnant you
should stop using it. Has anyone else
heard that?
I'm trying to be cool about it all but
some days are harder than others.

My doctor told me after 6 months should be
the cut off time for using it.
Yeah you are definately not the only one!!
I have had 3 people announce pregnancies
all with no complications (which is
awesome for them!) and one person give
birth since my m/c and I am like, what the
heck???
But it will be my turn soon I hope! And
yours too!!!!!
I am glad it seems like clomid works, I
have heard good things about it.

Hey girls, to those of you not getting
pregnant, I have always heard that the
shear stress of worrying about getting
pregnant and questioning if you are, then
stressing when you're not, will cause you
to have a harder time getting pregnant.
I have heard, unsure if medically
accurate, but stress causes you to release
less hormones with your cycle, thus
slowing the process of ovulation. I am
not sure how it all works, but stress
certainly alters our female hormones and
cycles. I know it's easier said than
done, but try to find something else to
occupy your mind and quit stressing,
andyou'll get pregnant. If not after
several months, make sure you talk to your
doc, as something else might be going on.

Ok, this is going to sound so stupid, but
it has worked for me with my first baby
lol
after intercourse, take two pillows and
stick them under your hips, or roll over
and stick them under your pelvic bone so
that your butt is in the air and you're on
your stomach. *this is straight after as
soon as he pulls out* stay like that for
10-15 mins. This will help gravity pull
the sperm further into your utarus.
*this isnt 100% but its something to
try.*
also dont get upset if it doesnt work,
just keep trying and just relax it also
helps to pinpoint around which time you
ovulate as well.
Also, the 'doggie style' position works
best,

What worked for me this time was bd'ing
every other day until af comes and using
the pillow technique (under hips after
sex). We didn't stress about it and made
everytime a lot of fun and different
(locations, positions, time of day). If
this doesn't work after about a year there
might be something medically wrong
preventing you from becoming pregnant.
Just keep trying until you reach that year
point then see a doctor for some fertility
testing. I know a year sounds like a long
time but it can take up to that long for a
perfectly healthy couple to conceive.

I too used to get upset after my m/c and
someone would come in and say that so and
so is pregnant or someone just had her
baby, you do become more understanding but
I did go on to have to wonderful babies.
Sometimes it is a good idea to get the
both of you checked out.
Baby dust to all!
