Everyone is getting pregnant except me?

That sounds very very similar to me. My husband and I got pregnant last Feb, and I miscarried at 7 weeks. We've been trying ever since. And most of my friends have just had babies or are pregnant. I decided this month to try a HPT 2 days before my period is expected and it's a BFN. :( I hate waiting... each month seems to take so long.

These girls are right, look on the bright side that you know you CAN get pregnant. I'm not even sure if I can ovulate right now. I don't mean to gripe about my own situation, just that if I were in your shoes, I'd have one bit of comfort that is not available to me.

But you are right. EVERYONE is getting pregnant. I don't have a wide social network, but more than half the couples I know either just had a baby or are pregnant (two started trying right when I did and got pregnant within a week of each other). I hate seeing someone get pregnant who should NOT be having kids (a guy I know just had a baby with his girlfriend - they live with her mom and neither of them works - at one point during her pregnancy he was out on the streets).

Sure of course it can still happen someday, but that doesn't make TODAY any easier to get through!

I find it reduces my stress to chart my BBT, otherwise I'd think my period was late when I was just having an anovulatory cycle. That way I know what is going on and will know when to start my countdown when I finally ovulate (on my first round of Clomid right now). If you chart your BBT, you should be able to know your period is coming at least a day earlier, personally I'd like to know sooner so I dont' get excited, but you may prefer that one extra day of hope.

The best tip I got on feeling better even though everyone else is pregnant already or just had their kids, is that you will have such great access to hand-me-downs! You may not have to buy a lot of things and though of course you will buy your kid some things, do you really care if his red t-shirt was new or borrowed? Things like a bassinette are only good for a few months so why waste your money when you can borrow one?

Though I know you have the comfort of knowing you can get pregnant, you also had to go through the trauma of losing a pregnancy which is not something I envy.

Just keep trying, try to relax about it, even if that means you start tracking your fertility because it relaxes you to know that you had sex at the right time in your cycle.

Pick up a copy of the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. The book will teach you how to monitor your cycles better so you aren't just going at it all willy nilly... Try to decrease the stress in your life. Make sure you're eating well- fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean protiens. Get 8 hours of sleep per night. Drink 8 8oz glasses of water per day. If you're overweight try losing 10-15lbs. Make sure you are getting at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise at least 3x per week. If 1 year passes and you are still unable to concieve- AND you've done everything above- then consult a reproductive endocrinologist to make sure all your hormone levels are correct and that both yours and hubby's "parts" are in optimal functioning order. It takes 1 year of ttc before you're considered "infertile" (which you're not really- very few people truly are). Try to de-stress hun- don't think about it and focus on the positive. I've been right where you are and it was so defeating to focus on the negative... You'll be a Mom soon!

I understand what you are going though. I get jealous of people like me sister in law who was on bc and had it taken out and got pregnant is soon is she did. They cant afford another child and no way to take care of the one they have now. But I have the money to care for it along with a great marrige three other kids at home and everything need to rise another child. I have been though so much just to get pregnant in the last four months. It is not fair. It is like a little bit of you dies each month when you dont fall pregnant. I wish I could help you more then giving you an ear to chat at and destress but I cant. I wish you the best of luck and keep your hopes up. It is hard to do but it helps just a little bit. Tons of baby dust to you and if you need someone to talk to feel free to contact me.

look at it this way: You know you CAN get pregnant.

I was TTC for 2 yrs before i finally did. So there was a chunk of time there where i thought maybe i just was 100% infertile.

We are TTC #2, and it's taking some time again. so not EVERYONE is getting pregnant.

I know it's the last thing you want to hear, but it will happen when it's meant to. I eventually just put it out of my mind, essentially giving up, and then it happened.

Here's two 'stories worse than yours.' to perk you up:

1. A woman I know was TTC for 10 years!!! She even had a few gos at IVF. Then one day, out of the blue, bam! (I actually know ANOTHER woman who this happened to as well).

2. I met a woman who had 2 kids, and was pregnant with #3. She had had gestational diabetes with #1. and 3 days after being diagnosed with gestational diabetes with #3, her husband left her.

hi do no longer sweat that kind of stuff - it rather is only loopy. it would additionally be yet one greater reason you won't be able to seem to conceive...tension impacts your physique's fertility tiers. i do no longer understand how long you have been attempting for yet 6 months to a 365 days is an extremely uncomplicated timeframe for a girl over 25... once you're frightened why no longer see a fertility physician to confirm. They wil degree your hormone tiers and so on and assist you to recognize if the factors combating you from getting pregnant are actual or no longer... good success x

I'm on the journey of trying to conceive and although I didn't experience a loss as you have, I never thought it would be hard to fall pregnant. And the thought of people becoming parents when they don't want to, is so frustrating. I've read may site & forums about women experiencing the same feelings as yourself and alot have said that once they stopped "trying" and stopped putting so much pressure on themselves and there spouse they finally got that positive answer. I hope I have eased a little of your frustration. I wish you all the luck in TTC!

Well, look at it this way- everything happens for a reason. Some people wait for 5 years to get pregnant. Maybe it won't happen now, but it might happen later. Also, perhaps you should consult your doctor on trying on days when you are fertile and ready to accept the sperm. Perhaps this will optimize your chances of getting pregnant.

Best of luck!

You're not the only one going through this, I'm still waiting and it's been 3 years.

Good luck

Have you taken any ovulation tests to make sure you are ovulating? That might be a good thing to do.
