TTC silliness... I'm so impatient!

I am right there with you Jessy...its a pain waiting till "aunt flo" fingers are crossed for positive news for you...I am in the same boat..yet this is our second month of tryin...

Oh boy do I know how that feels! In the TTC forums we call this the "2 week wait", the time between ovulation and when you can expect your period or HPT. And it is torture! FOr me the first month was the hardest on me cause even though I logically knew it was uncommon to get it on the first shot I just wanted it to happen that way so much. I was crushed with that first period. In reality we were really beyond the average couple in that we got pregnant on our third cycle. Unfortunately we lost that one early but we got pregnant again on our very next try! I wish I could tell you there were obvious early signs but there simply weren't for me, either time. And most women will say they think their period is on the way but the symptoms are so similiar to pregnacy that you just can't tell. I never did find the trick to not obesses during the 2 week wait. That's y I invested in super cheap HPTs in bulk so I could test constantly! LOL Hang in there and good luck ladies!

Aww hun, don't stress yourself out because stressing out a lot can lower the chance to get a baby. I learned that some couples end up getting a baby while they at least expected it. But I bet you are so hecka excited to be impatient haha :-)

Well said unique, you said it in a better way than me :-) and congrats :-)

Well FS and I are not at the point of TTC so I am not sure that I could have any real advice for your hear Jessy, other than try to relax and forget about it (I know I know easier said than done!) I heard on the radio the other day it takes the average couple has to have sex 145 times before they get pregnant so while I don't know much about TTC maybe in those two weeks while you are waiting to see what happens you can work on making that 145 a number smaller. ;-)

Woot woot thank u! :-)

Oh oh have you seen the show Sex and The City? The good example is the character Charotte wanted a baby so badly and all she cared and stressed about was a baby, she lost her marriage then remarried and lost hope. They adopted a child then she got pregnant on purpose :-) Very good example, she wasn't stressing about having a baby at all. My fav character btw

Haha! Jaemi, my husband will LOVE that statistic... I can see him looking at the clock with that let's get cracking look in his eyes

Thanks everyone... I'll try my best not to obsess about it

Ladies I know you're trying to be helpful but can I give a helpful tip right back? When you're TTC the LAST thing you want to hear is people telling you to "relax" OMG I can't even tell you how awful it is and every time you hear it it just gets worse and worse...and the bottom line is that the scientific studies do NOT back that theory up, no matter how much you hear about people who get pregnant as soon as they stop trying...statistically speaking, not trying or "relaxing" to let it happen actually lowers your chances. Not stressing is always a great thing but honestly, think of any time that you were trying very hard at a goal and people told you to relax constantly, does that ever actually make you relax or just frustrate you more? It's just a helpful tip for anytime anyone is talking with a couple who is getting frustrated TTC, please don't tell them to relax because that has the OPPOSITE affect and actually stresses them out more. Thanks so much!

LOL I am so immature, that all i think about when someone says they are "trying to get pregnant" is teheh y'all are doing it all the time! But seriously remember that intamacy with your hubs is not a chore, it's a sign of love, something that brings you closer together. Enjoy the experiance of concieving! (giggle, giggle)

Aww I am sorry Laura, you are right.

It's ok seriously I'm sure I said that to people before I ever TTC. It's something that seems so natural to say when trying to comfort someone going thru it. But on every TTC forum I've been on it's the #1 complaint that breaks couples' hearts when they're trying so hard, on their 2nd year of trying, etc So that's why I wanted to pass it on to you guys cause I know that you had no way of knowing how hurtful it is to so many people in that situation. Thanks for being receptive to it And I have never heard that 145 statistic! that's so interesting. I do know that even if a perfectly healthy couple with no fertility problems times sex perfectly for ovulation then you only have a 20% of concieving each time! How crazy is that?!? Makes me wonder how we're all here lol

Me, pregnant 2 weeks after I came off the pill. My sister 7 years of trying. I never realized the stress and pressure involved until my sister went through this. She was in line for AI when they found out the were pregnant, she's due on October 8th (so excited for her!).

I think saying relax is hard when someone has been trying for so long, however, if you're only 2 weeks in...then I would definitely say relax and enjoy yourselves

Wow sharon what made her finally pregnant after 7 years? Jessy, my grandparents got married at age 32 and they had my mom at age 35, have hope :-)

Laura, yea when me and my FS start making babies when I am age 30, five years from now, I will probably act like Jessy :-) but hey it is exciting to make a baby. I am just not a baby fan right now lol so i should had kept my mouth shut on this subject since I am not in jessy position.

You all make me laugh. It will come in time. My ex used to know I was pregnant before I even would miss my first day of my period. I would have a total personality change as soon as the hormones started raging. I wish you all the best of luck. Enjoy the babies while they are small because they get big soooo fast.

Im the same way. we already have 2 kids. we were trying to have another but decided we should wait until after the wedding but of course he decided this after we started trying so i could still be pregnant. i took one test but it was negative. it might still be to soon. we will see if aunt flo comes friday or not like its supposed to. if i am ill be happy and i think we will still beable to have the wedding but i guess we will decide when the time comes! good luck and i got my fingures crossed for you! its the best feeling! I love being preggo. but im one of the lucky ones that never got morning sickness for either.
