Why is it...

aww chicka i know what you mean i was totally heartbroken when i found out my SIL was pregnant but sometimes there is alot more behind it like i felt so bad when i found out some stuff she told me.

It does get easier i dont know how or why i think you just become numb to it all.

BIG HUGS to you chicka!!!

The thing that gets me is how many unwanted pg's (not just unplanned, but unwanted) there are, and why do those ppl get pg and not lovely ppl like you guys on here who have been trying for ages

Also ...I'm curious about the anorexia thing affecting TTC...?

I went off the pill July 06. We have been casually ttc since then. Although its not that many cyles that we have been trying (compared to others), they seem to take ages for the next one to come around. That the mo I am on CD10 which leave another couple of weeks before I will know anything....and then it all begins again. I know you know what i mean.
I think that my body has just gone back to normal now. I had quite a few short cycles and just general weirdness going on with my body....but I think I am good to go now. hehe.
We haven't told anyone about ttc as the "when are you going to have kids" questions is already doing my head in.
Anorexia, as you probably know, is starving your body...which means that you are putting some of your vital organs in danger of shutting down. Alot of anorexics will stop having periods which of course shows that they are also effecting their reproductive organs. This can cause damage that is irripairable (sp)! I know for a while they wondered if they would be able to conceive at all, so praise God they now have two beautiful children.

Im pleased to hear you have overcome anorexia/bulimia! What an awesome achievement!!!
Im not sure of the exact details of the issues, but I do know that she suffered quite severely and was admitted for treatment a few times.

Yeah I read the posts most days and have seent he newbies falling pg quickly. Good for them (I mean that in a nice way).

I really don't want to chart yet as I really think our time is comming...soon!

As far as I know there are no extra issues for us to deal with so I will give it a bit longer before I chart or anything like that. I know heaps of you have had great success with it, but I am still hanging onto the hopes that the baby will be the result of love making rather than love making for the result of a baby. I really don't mean this to offend anyone.....its just one of those romantic ideals I have in my head....if that makes sense at all. It has only been 6 months for me, so you might hear a completely different tune coming from me in a few months time if we still have no luck

I totally get what you mean and i posted a very similar thread last year sometime because everywhere i turned there were pregnant people!! I was extremely upset when right at the peak of TTC (had been over a year of trying at that point) and my SIL come to me in tears because she had just found out that she was 4 months pregnant!! and she would blabber on about how unwanted that baby was and how it was an accident just like the other 2!! which made me even more angry that she could be so careless 3 times!!! (she didnt know that we were trying though). SIL managed to have 2 kids in the time it took us to even get pregnant with this bubs!!
Even now my heart drops for a minute everytime i see a new pregnant person or hear of a birth because it wont seem real or over and done with until i have bubs.

I havnt had to deal with anorexia or the likes od but I read an artical the other day about fertility after anorexia and apparently it is hard to get pregnant after the fact if your cycles had stopped because sometimes your body goes into menopause from being stopped for so long and if your cycles do come back then there could be irripairable damage to your reproductive organs.

Good on ya ginger for beating it Love ya even more!!

PS am in love with your signature hehehe

No, I get you baysmum Not offence taken from this direction

Hehe ...funny story talking about condoms ...

My boss was telling me the other day that ages ago, the company I worked for was part of a bigger company, and one of the things that they used to make was condoms. Apparently they had a board in the office/warehouse entranceway with a display of all the condoms (in their foil packets). Anyway! The story is (and I believe him because it is totally believable, though a bit of a shocker) that every Monday the office staff would come in and there would be condoms missing off the display board, and they'd have to replace them.

Well! One night they caught the guy ...it was one of the factory guys and he was nicking the condoms to use over the weekend. The funny part of the story...? Well. Guess how the condoms were stuck to the display board? You got it! They stuck a pin stright through the middle of them!!

Imagine how many times that twit has reproduced!!

Hope that gave everyone a giggle

hehehe youd think when the numb nutts had to take the pin out to get it off the board that it wouldve turned a light on!!! LMAO!!!

Ha! You can *try* Emma!
