Alright, I just need to let it out since I am all alone here, of course with my hubby, but you know sometimes you just feel like having someone to talk to...
I have been married for slightly over a year, and have been trying for a baby since two months back... During the first month of trying,I guess I must have miscalculated the ovulation dates and stuff which could be one of the reasons why the preg test displays a negative. A part of me thought that who knows I could be one of the lucky ones, just one try and we will hit the jackpot!Well.. now into our 2nd month of trying, I am anxiously waiting and been distracting myself by doing lots of reading up on websites on conception, pregnancy and others to the extent that I find myself reading the similar info over and over again. I did an irrational home preg test just 5 days before my next period is supposed to be due and out came a negative single pink line. I read up about it being too early to test and stuff but a part of me just hope to see a different result. Right now, I am just fighting the urge to have another home preg test after the last 2 days back... telling myself that I should just wait and spare myself another disappointment. I have been faithfully catching episodes after episodes of the baby story and birth day etc and only find myself tearing with disappointment over the agonising long wait. I am really sorry that you guys have to read such a long write, perhaps some of you may be sharing the same feeling as I do, so I hope there would be someone out there who is listening and hopefully gather some comfort and advice here... Thanks

2 months is honestly not a long time to be trying to conceive. On average, it usually takes 6-12 months to get pregnant. Now we all know somebody who got pregnant immediately, or on a one night stand, etc. but average id 6-12 months. I know how hard it is seeing that negative b/c we suffered from secondary infertility and it took us 11 months and 3 cycles of fertility meds to get pregnant this time around. So I can personally relate to the sadness surrounding a negative pregnancy test. Have you had a pre-conception appt. with your ob/gyn? That would probably be the best place to start. I would also use ovulation prediction kits to pinpoint your exact fertile time. I wish you the best of luck and hope you get your positive here soon :)

You know what can help your odds of getting prego? A women on average is about only 36 hours out of a month really fertile. If you have lots of sex, maybe once a night, you will eventually get prego. I do not think that stress is a great contributer to getting pregnant either.So just relax, have fun trying to create life!!Its a beautiful thing, and it takes time and patience! Good Luck! :0)

I read or am reading Fit for fertility by Michael Dooley FROGC it talks about everything from diet to life style. I would relax. it usually takes me from 1 month to 3 months. With my firt i tought i couldn't get pregnant,had been trying on and off for like 4 years. Was refered to The Professor Winstons fertility clinic based in Hammersmith London and at my first appointment i was pregnant. I mean i received no treatment. I just relaxed because of the refereal. i also went thrugh a major life event which took my mind off things and i suppose this worked. This time i thought i couldn't get pregnant due to thinkng mental health drugs would or may effect fertilite but i am now 25 weeks pregnant and the baby is healthy.

Yup, just try to relax. I have a friend who has been trying to get pregnant for over a year now. My other friend who has had a baby took 7 or 8 months to conceive. Do what you need to so you can relax. Make that preconception appt, use ovulation kits, etc. I know that watching the Baby story is fun, but it might just be adding to your stress and anxiety about it at the moment. Focus instead on making your body as healthy as it can be for the baby to come! Eating well, taking prenatal vitamins and exercising regularly are all important things to get your body ready for making babies. Perhaps if you focus on doing those things, it will help you relax too. Once I decided I needed to create healthy habits for a healthy pregnancy, I got pregnant right away! Sometimes giving your body extra nutrients increases your fertility. Or something. *L* Good luck!

OK... It took my husband and I 7 months to get prego. I had my hope up a couple times, but I learned to hope for the best but expect the worst. The more you dwell on getting pregnant, the longer it usually takes. So I would try to expect your period every month, and save your self so money so you can buy cute baby things when it does happen and only take a test when you are late.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
