Trying To Conceive

bonfloss · Feb 19th, 2008, 13:48 PM

I have been lurking on this site for a while and its great to see so many of you getting your BFPs. Myself and OH have been trying now for 7 months for our first. I am 31 and he is 35. I came off BCP last March and cycles settled down in August. I am now on 28/29 day cycles. I have used ovulation kits which have given me positives at CD 15/16. I also went to docs who took my bloods which came back fine. The whole thing is starting to put pressure on us as each month I am increasingly upset when AF shows up. Just wanted to share with people who understand as sick of hearing 'try too relax'!!!!

I know how frustrating it is, but the games not over

this month/next month and so on could be your month, Only half of all couples would concieved in the time youve been trying

You'll have your bfp

Maybe your OH could try and drink coffee, it helps increase sperm motility and endurance

Theres so many things you can try...also preseed, which I've seen from sucess stories is really helpful

I am ttc also and just had a miscarriage, waiting to test at a respectable time atm, hoping for that bfp. Had to three bfns so far but didnt get my previous bfp till 17dpo...im only 12 now :P (Im a poas addict)

I wish you all the best and pray that you get your bfp soon!

Hey hun

I know you probably don't want to hear it but it took my friend 18 months to conceive and I know how she felt so I can only sympathise, whereas other friends have conceived straight away. I guess you don't realise how much you want something until you have to wait for it.

Your body is probably just preparing itself for your little bean

good luck and enjoy trying xxxx

Thanks guys. Think this forum is going to keep me sane! Life is so funny as for years I was quite happy to leave kids until later and now that I want one everywhere I turn it's babies and pregnant people! Not that I am not happy for them but you know what I mean.
