3rd Month of Trying
Posted: 04-26-07 10:57am

hello, i am new to this forum and my
husband and i are in our 3rd month of
trying. i ended my birth control in feb.
i have 28 day cycles and was suppose to
start yesterday...hasn't come yet. i have
had some hurting in my side/lower stomach,
it does not really feel like cramping but
it could be. usually i get my period as
soon as i start cramping. i also got a
yeast infection about 2 days ago and read
that that comes sometimes with pregnancy.
i may just be over reacting since this is
our first. i really just need someone to
talk to, because we are not telling anyone
that we are trying, and so i have no one
to talk to....not even mom

Welcome to ehealth.
You should try posting in the getting
pregnant forum. There are a lot of really
nice girls over there that are also trying
to get pregnant. DH and I have been
trying for 7 months with no luck. We are
currently on a 4 month break of ttc due to
health reasons.
I hear you on the not telling anyone that
you are trying. The only people that know
that we are "trying" are my best friend,
my mom and sister in law. Other than my
best friend who I tell everything to, they
don't even know we are really actively
trying. They just know that we are not
doing anything to avoid it. For me, it is
almost a little embarrasing when you let
people know you are trying and its not
working.
Good luck and stop by the getting pregnant
forum and say hi!

Welcome to ehealth!
You should try posting on the "getting
pregnant" forum. There a many knowledgable
and supportive women there that are going
through the same thing. You will probably
get a better responce there.
My name is .Christy, I'm 20 and I recently
bagan ttc as well. (I stopped birth
control on 2-20-07.) We haven't told many
people yet. The only people that know are
my mom and my sil.
What you are describing sounds very
promising! When are you planning on
testing?

well thank you ladies for the reply.
there are way too many things to read on
here. i could spend all day and still be
behind. we are really excited and yet
nervous about being parents. but we are
ready...at least we think. i am actually
right now watching my little nephew and he
is bouncing off the walls...along beside
my dog. its about to drive me
crazy...guess it is a little more natural
when it is your own.

When we watch my 5 yr old niece without
her parents, I think I am going to go
insane sometimes. She wears me out
physically as well as emotionally. I
sometimes get so worked up when she is
constantly trying to get my attention and
show me something. DH knows when my
breaking point is close and he takes over
playing with her for a while so I can
recoup! It is more natural when you have
your own, because you are around them
constantly since they are infants, so you
just learn to adapt to their behavior as
they grow up.

If you can wait until satuday, then more
power to you. I personally, have no self
control and would have tested yesterday.
Make sure you let us know the results as
soon as you do!

well i would've tried today and my husband
even wanted me to, but the first month we
got off the bc my first period was wacked
and i was spotting and we got so excited
that it was probably implantation bleeding
and so we got some tests and did both of
them in 2 days and they were both
neg....it is such a terrible feeling. i
mean you are all pumped and excited and
then..........nothing. so i have decided
that i will wait this time...don't know
what i will do if it is still neg. like
jeff foxworthy said.."if your going to
fail at something, woohoo, might as well
be this" just get to keep trying...thats
the best part anyway, right

As long as you remember that, you'll be
fine. Sometimes, it's easy to forget that
it is fun trying.

well it sounds like some of you have been
trying for a while. my husband and i have
been married for a little over 2 years and
we were so against kids....well at least
having them right away. we were,are, so
happy together just to 2 of us and the
thought of a baby just seemed like to much
trouble. its just that i know that kids
take up so much time from you and the
husband. the beginning of the year is
when we were finally like ok...we think we
are ready. probably if i have to wait too
long i might get a little on edge. its is
just a scary thought to me sometimes to
think that the life of a child is in my
hands. my dad will be the happiest of us
all i think. he is always on us to have
him a grandchild...he's so funny. we
have only been trying for a short time so
i think that the feeling of "its never
going to happen" hasn't hit .... yet

That "it's never gonna happen" feeling
hits everone at a different time.
Hopefully, your already pregnant and you
wont get that feeling at all.
When you went off birth control, did you
adjust fine? Or did it take a while for
you to get into a regular cycle?

My husband and I just had out 1 year
anniversary. At first after we got
married, my husband and I both didn't want
kids yet, we wanted it to be just us.
Well, we just decided that we were going
to make an effort to try to get pregnant
one day. We haven't really been
officially ttc for 7 months. I say that
because for some of those months, we were
just unable to do the deed on the right
days ya know? For health reasons, we have
to put ttc on hold right now, but after
that, we are going to go at it with full
force.
How old are you if you don't mind me
asking? I'm 29, almost 30, urgggg

My husband and I have wanted children for
forever. Since, maybe a year after we were
together we knew we wanted to have
children with each other. Just not right
then. So here we are 4 years later and 6
months into our marriage, and now would be
good timing. We aren't "activly" trying
though.(no temping or opks or anything)
We're just "letting it happen". 
It's killing me to. I'm an all or nothing
type person, and this sit back and relax
thing just isn't working!

i am 25 but i don't feel like that...i
feel like i should still be 18--haha. i
was only on bc for about 2 and half years.
but no i really had no probs coming off.
i mean there was the terrible mood
swings....my poor husband, and like i said
the spotting before i started my first
month. but last month i was normal.
exactly 28 from my last one... which is
what i was when i was on bc. i guess i am
pretty normal, at least that what my obgyn
tells me everytime i go in....spread it
all out there to hear the same thing
everytime, which is good

Yeah...no one ever tells you about the
mood swings. I remember crying one night,
my dh asked what was wrong, I, sobbing,
replied "If I cant handle the hormons
without the birth control, I'm never gonna
be able to handle pregnancy hormones!" I
was so upset. (Him laughing didn't make it
any better). I'm glad it didn't mess with
you to much.

ya, my husband just got to where everyday
he would ask me. whats the matter, or
what did i do today. then it would make
things worse because i felt like it would
never end. i think sometimes the
pressures of life make things worse...like
living in the city. i think that if we
lived on a farm somewhere that the mood
swings would not be so bad. you see i am
a country girl living in the city now that
i am married. i really hate it sometimes
and wish i could go back a small town.
everything is just so busy in the city.
guess that is also why the 3 months we
have been trying don't feel like that
long. probably when the summer comes and
i am done teaching 14 2nd graders the
mommy in me will kick in a little more.

I probably would have never started ttc if
I taught 2nd grade.  Actually, I've
always wanted to be a teacher. Just not
were I live. If I moved to a smaller town
I would.
The city can be quite an adjustment!
Everything is very now,now,now. It can
take some time. Have you talked about
moving back?

ya we have talked of moving to a smaller
town just outside of the city, but if we
will ever i don't know.
ya 2nd grade can be a hand full. my
patience wears out before the day
does....so the kids get it from me as
well...haha but we
started trying when we did because we
figured that it would take us the rest of
the school year to get preg....at least.
i really just didn't want to be big preg
during our hot summer here in texas...
that would be miserable.
