    Obsessing over having baby
    My husband and I have been wanting to have another baby for about a year - with no luck yet. I found this forum just a couple of days ago & really liked the answers & support that everyone seemed to give. I have even asked several questions about this subject. My ordeal is that I seem to be obsessed with wanting to have another baby. I am a stay at home mom with my 3 year old little boy (and he is so sweet) - but it seems that I have a little too much free time on my hands to dwell on this. I am on my second round of Clomid (an infertility drug that makes you ovulate) & it has been working according the at home ovulation kits. It seems like my whole life revolves around PEEING ON THOSE LITTLE STICKS! I test for ovulation everyday until I get a positive result - then about 2 weeks later I obsess on whether it worked or not! Like right now I am 4 days late - I took a pregnancy test & it said negative. So I guess I'll take another one in about 3 more days. It's just really frustrating.

    A question that I asked for the fun of it - was if a pshcic thought I was pregnant or not. I felt really discouraged because it I got a response stating whether I really wanted a response - I took it that they didn't want to answer it because maybe they foreseen something negative. And I can't seem to shake that thought. I really wish I could just let it go & put it in God's hands - but that can be so hard.

    So - I guess this is not really a question - maybe I just need some words of encouragment. Thank you.

    Well, there are really no psychics here. That is why you got that answer.

    I don't really believe in psychics anyway. Look at it this way. If they were psychic they would have known you were going to ask that question and could have answered it before you asked. Right? Just kidding.

    Anyway, 4 days is a little too soon for the hcg hormone to build up enough in your body for a home test to detect. I know they say you can test a day after being late, but every woman's body is different, so that is a blanket statement. There are more false negatives than there are false positives.

    If you already have one child, is this child by the husband you are with now? Maybe your husband needs to be tested.

    Just a thought.

    Thank you for responding - and the child I have now is with my husband. I had the same problem last time (not ovulating regularly) & had to take Clomid. Last time I was really fortunate because it worked the first month! So, I guess I had the false hope of it working quickly again. In my heart I know that we will have another baby - I'm just having a hard time playing the waiting game. I know stress can delay getting pregnant - but honestly I'm not stressed - I'm just excited & anticipating everything:)
