Trying to Conceive with No luck PDF Print E-mail

Pregnancy & Motherhood

 



I'm not so good with putting emotions into words, but here goes nothing. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for over a year now. We have been unsuccessful. My doctor recently put me on medicine called chlomid to make me ovulate. Because after a few tests, we came to the conclusion that me not ovulating was the problem. I took at home ovulation tests when I was on the medicine and it never came back positive. I went to get my blood drawn today to check my progestrine level to see if I ovulated at all.

 

People tell me to not get my hopes up and my husband tells me to stay positive. I have the biggest fear that this will never happen for me and it breaks my heart. I have the biggest need to carry a child and I've always wanted to be a stay at home mommy. I feel like I would have a hole in my heart if I was never able to have a child.

I didn't have a very good home life growing up. My parents never really knew how to be good parents I don't think. So I've always wanted to give my children something better than what I had.

problems-conceivingI also started taking prenatal vitamins, but it makes me sad when I take them, knowing it may be for nothing. There's always adoption. I know it's a long and hard process but maybe I should start looking into it anyway.

My husband got checked and everything is good with him. So it hurts even more knowing it's because of me that we can't have a child. I don't know why I have such a need to have a child. Maybe it's just something some women go through.

It makes me so mad to think about the females out there who get pregnant and don't even want to keep the precious life they made. I know sometimes there are certain circumstances and I get that. Maybe someone else has gone through this similar situation? All comments are welcome. Thanks :)

Don't be so hard on yourself because it's "your fault". I read in a parenting magazine that, on the regular it takes up to 1 year for a normal couple to become pregnant. Any couples who conceive in the first 1-6 months are extremly rare and lucky. They also said if you are 30 and under, keep trying for another 6 months before seeking Drs, and if you are older than that, then around 1 year is time to seek a Dr. Also, my best girlfriend was married at 25, and they tried to conceive right away- that was 9 years ago. She just had her baby girl 2 months ago. THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE!! NEVER GIVE UP. Xox

Don't give up hope! I am in the same boat as you. I'm wanting a child so bad right now. I have always dreamed of being a stay-at-home mom. I've been trying to conceive since Nov. '09 and so far I think I may have had two miscarriages. I, myself, am starting to think that I am not able to have kids. My boyfriend and I are trying to conceive right now but so far no luck. We both actually think we might be expecting since I've been nauseous for 3-4 weeks now. Don't give up, stay positive. :-) Feel free to email me at babygurl0820@gm ail.com.

Hi there. Don't lose your hopes because my wife and I were in the same boat. We had been trying for about 2 years. We went to the doctor and he said that she would never get pregnant without any medication.
Guess what? All of sudden 3 weeks ago, we found out she was pregnant and she never took any kind of medicine. So I think it's just up to GOD and when he wants for you to have one. Don't lose your hopes and serve GOD and he will give you a miracle. Thanks

Me and my husband have been married for a year and 3 months. We have been wanting a child so bad. On both sides of our family there has been a new birth. It does hurt when you see those families being happy and neither one of them were married when the kids were born, so it does hurt. I feel for you! I hope everything works out for you!

I am unfortunately in the same boat as you. I feel terrible because both my husband and I want kids so bad and it's my fault that we can't. My only option at this point is adoption.

Hang in there and things will work themselves out. Don't give up hope of becoming a mom.
