Now I'm struggling....

oh hun. i know how you feel. i feel exactly the same. and although hubby wants a baby, he doesnt want to try any of the monitors or anything like that. so i feel like its only me that wants it. even though i know he does. a girl at work had a baby last week, and another one a few weeks ago, and then today i found out that anohter one of my friends is due on 31st dec, and someone else i know s due in november and i just want to know when it will be my turn. you can message me f you want x

hi honey. Im really sorry to hear that your struggling, just try to stay positive (easier said than done i know!). just keep telling yourself that you have only been trying for 5 months, its totally normal for it to take up to a year to concieve. theres nothing stopping u from going docs now though, im sure they would be happy to test you and your fella to put your minds at rest. its a known fact that worrying about things stops it happening. when my partner and i were trying we got nowhere when we were worrying about ovulation times etc etc but fell pregnant almost straight away when we decided to just let nature take its course. theres no harm in being aware of whats going on ie when your going to ovulate but if you worry too much it will affect your chances. have plenty of sex all the time rather than waiting to when you think your ovulating (i dont know if thats what your doing but thats a mistake a lot of people make). talk to your partner, tell him that you understand that he's just excited but that his comments are making you feel bad. then give him a big hug and keep on trying! make time for each other too, if every time you have sex its for practical purposes youll lose the intimacy and believe it or not your probably more likely to get pregnant if your enjoying it for what it is rather than what you might get from it. Youll get there eventually, i know it seems like everyone else is pregnant but rest assured you will be one of those ladies soon :) hang in there, ive got my fingers crossed for you xx
i have 2 kids its hard sometimes but there worth it. im only 19.

Hello there! I am sorry you are feeling down and I know how you feel. I have just had a second miscarriage and feel the same... Why me?! I think stay positive, believe it will happen, try not to stress (easier said than done I know. It is very hard when everyone around you has a baby or is pregnant and it feels the same to everyone, that's why it is nice to hear from others who are feeling down too. Keep your chin up and it will happen :-) x

I'm goin through a real downer at the minute too. Think we all just have to try not to dwell on it (which everyone says I know!) but it's easier said than done! I only ovulate 4-6 times a year now so it's mega hard at the minute! If you ever need to talk just send me a message and good luck trying to all you ladies!! xox

hello.....im a mum 2 reid who is now 5 months i went through exactly the same thing me and my partner had been trying for 7 years for a baby id almost given up hop,.all the months of being late and thinking i was pregnant just came 2 a disapointment,i do suffer with endometriosis though id had keyhole surgery jan 07 and was told id need fertilty treatment to conceive so at that point in time i put it all to the back of my mind and focused on the date that i was booked in to see my consultant which was 5 months after that date,then 4 weeks before my appointment i mentioned 2 a friend that i felt different then low and behold i was late but just as i thought it was anotha month of dissapointment but it wasnt i lata found out i was pregnant,id almost given up hope but in that time id put it to the back of my mind and focused on that date for my appointment so forgetting about it does help,i no its easy 2 say, but when your that desperate for a baby and everyone around you is eitha pregnant or just given birth its very upsetting as that was the case with me but just try and forget about it and dont try to hard as i did and within those months be4 i found out i only had intercourse a few times if ever u would like 2 talk drop me a message.x x x

Hello. ...im an acupuncture student and it can be good for womens/hormone stuff (like not ovulating)...you might want to give it a try. If you do, make sure you go to someone who is registered with the BacC (British acupuncture council), and try to find someone who specializes in fertility issues. It's really hard when everyone around you is pregnant and your not. Hang in there.xx

know its hard when people you know find out there pregnant but these people have more than likely been in the same boat as you! i was not long ago in that situation and i know more than anything how hard it is every month when you period comes. i lost a little one at xmas was 11 weeks gone and i thought it would never happen again! last month was the only month that me and andy didnt really try as such as we had our holiday to look forward to etc and thats when i caught! when i was least expecting it.its took me 6 month which isnt long i know but it does happen! kow its easy to say but relax and its more likely to happen for you! really sorry your feeling down but you need to try and do things to take your mind of it! now the weather is nice get out and about with the girls or go cinema. seriously it does help. take care anyway xxxxx
