I cant quit trying, my dh and I have been trying to have another baby for a while and I feel like my period is starting tom. I am so sad and cant quit crying, I am bi-polar, major depression, anxiety and panic disorder, borderline personality disorder and all this stress is killing me. I thought I was I was having all the signs and today I start cramping. I hate to sound like a baby but this is not fair, i hate this! I need some advice to help me snap out of this mood, please someone help.

Quit "trying" to have a baby. That is what worked for my friend. As soon as she gave up trying to have a baby, and had settled on adopting, boom she was pregnant! I know it is hard to do, and I know the heart break that happenes when you are so hoping you are pregnant. I was told I probably wouldn't be able to concieve. Well two children later! Hope this helps. When it is time for you to have a baby, you will get pregnant. Never loose hope. And hey, enjoy the "practice"! It is fun! LOL

Well I dont know how much advice I can offer on your situation. But what I do know is that high levels of stress can complicate trying to get prego. Also cramping isnt always a bad sign either. Yes severe cramping is a bad sign, but slight cramping or a crampy feeling isnt always bad. I know with both of my children in my first trimester I was crampy feeling and even had a few cramps but nothing serious. So my best advice to you is to calm yourself down and lower that stress level. Stress is never good, especially during a time to try and conceive. Are you using any kind of help with trying to conceive like counting the days between cycles knowing when you are ovulating? I am here if ya need to talk or what not hon.

I chart and see my ob so far in the past month I have seen him 3 times. they did a u/s and a regular pap, reviewed my charts to tell me I am not ovulating all the time, I know I ovulated this month, but I never know month to month, I go back to see him on tues to talk about the u/s and possibly going on clomid to help me ovulate. i just wish I knew what was wrong w/ me. I had 2 suprise babies and now that we are more stable and ready for a 3rd it wont happen, I am really trying to get over my period getting ready to be here. the cramping was real bad earlier to the point i had to take the pain medication that the ob gave me. i just need to vent a little I guess. I will probably go to bed soon and try to sleep it off

I'm going to go with Becky on this. My sister-in-law had the same problem. Her doctor said nothing was wrong with her or her husband. I told her to stop trying and just roll with it. 3 months later she was pregnant.

Don't expect to snap out of it so quickly. You had a lot of build up of hope and it would not be realistic to expect yourself to just be A OK tomorrow. This process of trying to have a child, when it is prolonged, is a very very very stressful one. I don't know if the latter is the case with you or not. But do not underestimate how stressful it all is.

me too...as soon as I prayed to God and told him that I had come to the realization that I may not ever have children and would find something else in my life to fill that void...I got pregnant. Weird but true.
