Aimee: Hey sunshine! I am with you. I was testing...charting, but I quit for this month. At first doing all of that made me feel productive but then it just became a drag. I wanted to have the HSG test done to make sure my tubes were open but my obgyn won't do it yet. He wants to follow Dr. Monteith's instructions to the letter and Dr. Monteith said they usually suggest doing it 12 months after the surgery. Atleast I am lucky to have an obgyn that wants to follow their instructions so closely. It will make the early pregnancy monitoring procedure more smooth knowing my dr. wants to follow instructions. Maybe this will be a lucky month for all of us.

I am beginning to wonder if I should continue to spend the money on the OPK's every month as it is pretty costly....Maybe I should stop stressing and just let it happen on its own. Thanks to you all for sharing your experiences I feel less alone since we are all going through the same thing...

Dmoore: CONGRATS! I pray you have a happy, healthy 9 months. Thank you for your words of encouragement!
Bev and Neva: It is great hearing from you! I think of both of you often. It touches my heart greatly to think of how supportive you both were the day of surgery. I was a nervous wreck. I laugh about it now but I sure couldn't stop crying that day. In my little fairy tale world, I was convinced the three of us would get preggo right away and have our babies together. There is comfort in knowing we are traveling this road together and our paths are so similar. With school, work, and this, it is a wonder we have kept our sanity. Well mostly anyway. I know I don't get to get on here as often as I like due to my schedule but please know you two are always in my thoughts and prayers!

I have been trying since November of 05. I've had one unassisted BFP, which was not viable. Don't get discouraged after 3 or 4 months. It typically takes much longer. And for some of us, even relaxing and putting away all the tests doesn't work. Sometimes you have to be proactive.

Hi ladies I just wanted to share with you for a min. I had my TR 3/18/09 at the age of 25 I thought for sure with my age and Dh age we would get PG in no time but that was not the case my cycles where not regular pretty much the first one was 72 days then 45 the 62 I had an HSG done in June and it showed both tubes open we to made BD more like a job. Then in September after my period I deiced I was done and we hardly BD so I have no clue when I o'd well last week I stated getting sick and my face was breaking out I just had a feeling to test and sure enough I was pregnant and my first number is 62 as of 10/10. I think once we truly relax and put it in to nature it will happen I thought for sure that I would never get to this point but in the end it happened. Now it is the waiting game to make sure everything is okay. Just keep the faith it will happen in time.

Hello ladies (Diane), I was sure I hit it this month. I had nausea, sore breast that were swollen to where it wasn't me who noticed it was DH. But instead I came down with I think the flu yesterday and AF visited today> it was my 3rd time trying. Now we are on try on number 4. I"m getting very discouraged as well. I mean ive tried the evening primerose oil, preseed , instead cups bding every day the opk's and all I got was a BFN. I felt like bding was my second job. I said I was going to stop all that stuff but instead ordered fertlaid supplements. I think its an addiction TTC and the more I see new babies (which are all aroundme) it makes me want to try harder and i also fall harder if you know what I mean. Yea my hats are off to all the woman out there who have been TTC longer for keeping sane cause I feel like I'm not sane anymore. The last 2ww had to be the worst feeling. I wish everyone lots of baby dust!!!!! Beverly

Hi Diane, and Aimee, just wanted to chime in AF is expected on the 20th for me and I completely understand where you two are coming from. I am one of those who are convinced every month that I am pregnant lol. This is my 3rd time Oing so this month I have really tried not to talk about any of the physical symptoms I feel. It is good to hear from both of you..... I am praying for all of us.

I am still on CD12 so I just started testing for my positive to see if will ovulate soon, I will probably not know anything until end of the month....I hate waiting.....LOL

Thanks for all of the positive feed back. It is amazing at the difference it makes. You are right, I think faith is the best gift we can give ourselves right now.

cdb, You are on the right track, just hang in there. Acting on your faith is not crazy! My sis-in-law has been ttc for years and accumulating baby stuff along the way. Needless to say she is 7w preggo! Keep the faith your BFP will come!

CBD, Yes, it is easier said than done and we definitely understand that. But remember being stressed and impatient can also influence conception. Please try to stay positive. It will happen!!

Aimee: Me either, it's not fair! LOL At least he keeps me grounded. If we were both as crazy as I am right now, my children would probably run away! ha ha Since we are both in our ovulation run right now, maybe it will happen for both of us this month. That would be so cool. I will know on the 26th of this month, you???
