Hi, me and my husband have been TTC for about 10 months now, we did the whole "dont try and it will happen" thing..well that didnt work!!
I have taken so many pregnancy test, we could have adopted a child with the money I have spent. (I dont beleive there is ANYTHING wrong with adopting) Everytime, negative after negative after negative. It just really got me down, so this last one that I bought I debated buying/taking it for awhile, because it always just bums me out when its negative!
Ok now for the delimma I am 3-4 days late and I really dont want to go out and buy/take a hpt because I am scared it will be negative. I have been 1-2 days late before and still negative, but never this long. I dont have any prego symptoms. UUUggghhhh..this is so frustratiing, and I really didnt even want to think about getting pregnant because I have been trying "dont get your hopes up" thing. Now I cant stop thinking about it!
Anyone been here before? I need some encouragement or help! Thanks in advance!
I think if you are trying, then keep a bunch of pregnancy tests at home in the bathroom. Buy a few packs. And if you are more late than normal try waiting a few more days and then take another test.
Just try and tell yourself that you're meant to be a mommy and WHEN it's supposed to happen it will.
I wish you all the luck and patience in the world.
Remember, you have only been trying for 10 months. It can take many women over a year of trying to conceive. I was talking about this with my mother today since she is here visiting for my graduation, and she told me that it took her 7 years of actively trying before she became pregnant with me.
Have you visited a fertility specialist yet? Has your husband been tested?
Trying should be fun, if it stops being fun then it's called work.
It took me 10 months to get pregnant with my second, so don't give up, just stop stressing about it, that doesn't help either.
For me it finally happened because something else came up and I actually though to myself, "Maybe we should wait a bit longer, there's so much to deal with right now", we ended up booking a trip to Mexico and put the baby making thing on the back burner.
Three days before we were due to leave for Mexico I found out I was pregnant, YES, wait, it's an all inclusive resort, free alcohol, well, doesn't that just beat all?
I was sick for the entire trip, but hey, who cares, I was having a baby.
You'll get there, really you will, it's way to early to start worrying.
Thanks so much for all your help..I havent really been stressing about it much. The main reason I have been thinking about it the last few days 1) because Ia m late, and 2) because I had a back injury and was given hydrocodone, and was worried sick that if maybe i was pregnant I should not take them. I did stop taking them just in case I am not risking ANYTHING, I know it might sound crazy but I would rather suffer than risk my possible pregnancy!
It's difficult not to get your hopes up when you are trying.........I'd say, it is pretty much impossible!! Since you don't want to spend anymore on pregnancy tests if you don't have to....and you have been a couple of days late before for your period.....maybe just treat yourself as though you might be, and try to wait and see what happens. If you don't start in another week or so, maybe try a test then.
I just want everyone to know that its not spending the money on the test, that makes me now want to get one. It just actually taking it, and getting (negative) results is the part that makes me so apprenesive to get it.
Thanks for all the advice! Keep it coming, it keeps me busy while trying to wait just a few more days! I am testing on Tuesday morning if my period has not come by then! I will keep everyone posted! Wish me LUCK!
