i’m feeling a bit better now. i actually felt bad about being so upset today because, as i told joe, it’s not like we were pregnant and then lost the baby. we just weren’t pregnant at all. but, it was different than just getting a negative hpt because i had missed my period and had all the symptoms, and we were just expecting it. that’s why it was so much harder this time. i tried not to get my hopes up, but i just couldn’t help but get excited.
today i ordered an ov watch. people who used it had really good results, so we’ll see what happens. i can’t use ovulation prediction kits very well because you’re supposed to test at the same time in the afternoon or evening every day. i just can’t do that with my schedule. the watch is worn at night, and it’s supposed to tell you your six most fertile days. a lot of people have said they got pregnant after the first month of using it, so i’m hoping it’ll work for us. i really wanted to have a baby before my brother leaves for kentucky in january, but that’s looking less and less likely. hopefully he’ll be able to come home when and if we have a baby.
I’m glad you ordered the watch. I always had problems with OPKs…the positive lines were never bold enough for me…and I’m a very normal ovulator. Anyway, those watches are supposed to be really good. That’s what Trista and Ryan Sutter used, and I think they got pregnant pretty quickly after that.
Oh, and I am glad you moved your anti-spam word back to the top…much easier for me :).
*HUGS* I’m sorry Cady. 🙁
I’m glad that you guys moved right away to a positive step-in-the-right direction. Hopefully the watch will help!
You should be really proud of yourself for picking yourself up and dusting yourself off. Did the doc say anything when he/she learned of everything you’ve been through? Were they helpful at all? We all know the nurse was impersonating Nurse Ratchet!
Cady, I want to apologize … I hope that I didn’t get your hopes up too much during our e-mails back and forth recently. I thought *sure* that you were pregnant! Anyway, you have such a *great* attitude about the whole thing. I think that watch might be *such* a positive thing for you (pun intended!). 😀 I’ve been curious about those. Hoping that next month (or another month here SOON) will bring joyous news for you both. Hang in there. (My anti-spam word was “twin,” LOL!)
*hug* I know the feeling. I’m glad you are trying to be positive about it. It makes all the difference in the world.
🙁 sorry it didn’t work out for you this time.
Patience is the key. It will come when you least expect it, and that way you will be SUPER excited!
Don’t get so discouraged. Baby making is suppose to be FUN! But it takes time. 10 months of trying for my first and 8 months of trying for our daughter. And I’m sure there’s others out there with stories of years of trying. Focus on having fun, and it will happen 🙂
I know this sort of disappointment all too well. It’s difficult to get through. You might want to ask your doctor about chlomid. It’s worked for me, and also for my stepdaughter. It doesn’t work for everyone, but it’s a good starting place.
