or does the wait just seem to be forever. We are trying for baby # 2 at the moment and even though we are pretty relaxed about the whole thing I hate that last week of my cycle which seems to drag on forever. Then you think, oh I am late! I might be! But no!
That feels better! Thanks for letting me vent my frustration! LOL

Yep, although I found some cycles really dragged while others weren't so bad.
Lizzle is right about the pregnancy dragging on too. I have my first scan on Friday and right now that seems a million years away! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

5w6d. But I ended up in the hospital with some bad cramps yesterday so they have moved the scan forward to today at 1pm. So it will be too early to see a heartbeat, but the doc wants to make sure that bubs is in the uterus where he/she should be and they should be able to see a fetal pole (baby) too so fingers crossed! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Hi Bonz !!
I know EXACTLY what you mean ...I am in the middle of cycle 9 since coming off the pill (TTC No. 1). I am trying to be relaxed and trying not to be negative. I keep saying to my husband "if we get pregnant" and he just looks at me and says "when". I feel a bit resigned to getting my period each month, but I still get hopeful, and then disappointed. The other thing is, when you're TTC, there seems to be babies and pregnant women EVERYWHERE! Damn hormones :-) (BTW - Good luck Emma. I have fingers crossed for you)

Hang in there Simonne - it took us 11 mths to conceive the baby we lost and I was all depressed thinking it would take that long again and Bam - I was pregnant! Sending you lots of baby dust! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Yes i agree with the pregnancy dragging bit. I have a while to wait for the big beautiful belly !!!  and about 5 months to go before the baby arrives 168 sleeps to go  ....and the difference between me and most people is that i didn't find out until i was 11 weeks so i don't really have as long as others------------- ** MUM TO ** Ethan 29/08/2006 Brooke 22/09/2008 |

I am with you Simmone, but we have only been trying for one unsuccessful month. I was so disheartened when AF arrived (not to mention it was on our wedding anniversary) so I can only imagine how you are feeling 9 months down the track. Have you started temp taking or O testing? ------------- ">

Hi Sarah
I started temp taking this month. Everything looks about as it should. I haven't been monitoring cervical fluid yet - might start that next month. But, the way my temps look this month, and the fact that AF is pretty regular (to within a couple of days), it suggests that I am definitely ovulating, so who knows? Must just be the timing! I must say though, that if I hear "it'll happen when it happens" once more, there will be murder committed

I know what you mean! It is quite frustrating, especially when you hear of people falling pregnant by accident all around you. I am sure I read somewhere that you only have a 25% chance of conceiving and the baby sticking, the odds are not in our favour, but by that logic also, I figure it should happen after 4 months ------------- ">

We did temping, and the month I fell pregnant with this baby we also used the OPK's. Got them on trade me relatively cheap. I found it difficult to monitor cervical fluid as I seemed to have EWCM for about 8 days. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

You know, I'd really like to know HOW people manage to fall pregnant by accident...... I wouldn't mind trying it myself
Emma - I hope your scan went ok yesterday, I've been thinking of you and hoping all is well. I might try OPKs (whatever they are) next month, if things don't work. *whispering* Forgive me for being dense ...but what is EWCM? I might try some of your determination next month too Jezsika

I think accidental happens more because you aren't thinking or worrying about it at all. ------------- ">

Oh ... Well ....I was born vibrating with stress and worry (which is probably my problem), so I don't think I'll be able to give accidental a try at all My mother in law offered to get me a turkey baster for my birthday ...maybe I should take her up on it! In the meantime, I am going to embrace my PMT and take it out on anyone who steps in my path!!

| haha yeh i think it was the make up sex that worked lololol i think we did the SMEP (sperm meets egg plan) seemed to work for us incl the twice in one day before ovulation lol |

LOL at planned and unplanned - Maya was very definitely unplanned! Bugged the hell out of me that I fell pregnant with her just by looking at Willie, but then when we actually WANTED to get preg it just wouldn't happen!
I don't know what the secret was this month - we didn't have sex on ovulation day as that was the day my friend lost her little boy to SIDS, so we were sooooo not in the mood. Must have been the day before that did the trick
Simonne - OPK's are Ovulation Predictor thingies - they work similar to a pregnancy test in that you wee on them and they have 2 lines, if the lines are the same color you are going to ovulate within the next 24 or so hours (they pick up a hormone called luteinizing hormone). EWCM is egg white cervical mucus - the most fertile kind of fluid that you get around ovulation time. Hope that helps! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

the baby I lost wasn't planned either. Seems to just be one of those things, like due dates, babies come when they are ready ------------- ">

over 4 years ago Shelley, it was very unplanned and I didn't find out till I was losing the baby. Was shocking to find out that I was pregnant, then devestating to find out I was losing the baby. Quite the emotional rollercoaster. ------------- ">
