Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 11

Hugs to all those suffering with AF and BFNs!!!


Trying to figure out when to DTD this week as I should be ovulating towards the end of the week, when OH is at work until midnight!

We went to the christening of his cousins daughter yesterday, and it was lovely seeing him hold a baby as I have never seen him hold one before (he struggles around them still due to what happened before he met me) and he was quite emotional when we got home. So not sure how he will react when I eventually get a BFP even though I know he will be elated.

Also feeling a bit blue as my sister is currently on holiday and I said to OH yesterday "I bet her OH proposes when they're there" - got a phone call today, guess what she told me!

I know I won't be alone when I say that it feels like everyone is moving on with their relationships and we've been stuck in the same place now for ages. It further confirms to me that everyone we know is convinced that my sister and her OH are a stronger couple even though we've been together longer, living together longer, looking to buy our second house together and (secretly) TTC. They all think that I'm too young to be in a serious relationship (I've had 3 long term relationships before this one, as well as a year or so when I enjoyed being single, the latter of which is what everyone seems to remember!)

I know this is going to sound stupid, but I'm a little down about the whole TTC this evening does anyone else feel like it's never going to happen for them? I know that's a stupid thing to say, but feeling a little fragile this evening

Thanks I need to stop coming on here to moan about stuff and actually be happy! I suppose that is hard when the TTC journey is being kept under wraps - I just want to tell everyone so they know we're serious about each other. OH has a very sensitive side but he doesn't show it, which means people think he is devoid of any sentiment or emotion!

I think it must be part of the women's way to be impatient! I keep telling my OH tipa I've read for getting pregnant and he's like yeah-we'll look at those if and when we need to but we haven't even started trying yet-give it a chance! I'm just so desperate for my bfp! How long have you all been trying?

Yeah same. He wants to "have fun" with it for six months and then see where we're at. He doesn't realise that we need to have sex to make a baby :rotfl:

I came off the pill 3rd September and just had my first proper AF.

I know, cherry, I need to calm down!

slowlyfading

I've only had my second AF since coming off the pill in August - so not long at all.

Just feeling the pressure today thanks for listening to me moan though!

Hugs lulu and slowlyfading. Lulu all that matters is that you know your relationship is solid, who cares what anyone else thinks?

Slowlyfading I had that moment last weekend. I just had this worry grip me that it was never going to happen, even though we've only been trying since July! We are here to listen to you moan, and I'm sure a lot of us here feel exactly the same.

As cherrylips says, be kind to yourselves xx
