Ok all of you need to put me in a padded room with
NO FOOD> My Dh and I have been trying
for almost 2 years to have a baby.
I already have 2 with my ex hubby,
and my DH constantly obsesses that the
problem is him. Both of us want
this baby so badly. So much that every month I
obsess that I am pregnant the entire week before AF.
I even have cravings..
Last week he came home to find me eating
pancakes with Bar B Q sauce at 3am..
Tell me I don't need to be put away!
LOL

I too have been going crazy reading and trying everything
I can to become PG. I can't tell you how many hours
I've spent charting, calculating, and checking symptoms.
It's great to find some people who are as nuts as I am
about buying herbs,tests, and thermometers.

Can I have a room with a view?
Thanks-

I definitely need a room.
I am TTC #2 and I feel like I am going crazy.
I am about to begin my third month of clomid at 100 mg.
I have been using OPK's with very little success
and so I plan to buy a fertility monitor for this next month.
No one I know has ever TTC, they all got pregnant without trying.
My friends look at me like I am nuts every month when
I am obsessing over if I have ovulated or not.
It the lonelyness of trying that is getting to me.
I don't even have a DH
(I am getting artificially inseminated)
and with no one to talk to about it
I feel like I will explode.
When I go to sleep at night all I think about its days,
milligrams of the medication, when to test, etc.
I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING CRAZY!

TTC #2, Third cycle of clomid
* * * * *

I would like a room in the TTC Asylum -
been TTC#1 for two years now and have
just done 1st clomid and pregnyl cycle.
It's been 5 dpo and was sick yesterday -
convinced myself I was pg. How ridiculous can you get.
The minutes seem like hours and I can't concentrate at work
- just watching the calendar till 16dpo when I will allow
myself to take a test if af hasn't arrived.
I've got lots of symptoms like itching all over,
feeling fatigued etc that are probably all to do
with the clomid or nothing to do with TTC at all -
but I can't help wondering.
Then I need reminding that it's too soon to be feeling anything.
Have no one I can talk to except dh and friends who aren't TTC
- no one really understands. It is pretty lonely.

Dear TTC'ers..

I have been watching this site for months
and need to tell somebody my woes.
I'm 37 and have been TTC since 11/99.
My RE just put me on 50 mg of Clomid
but my DH doesn't want me take "pills" to get pregnant.
He is such a naturalist and believes that Clomid
will do more harm than good. This A.M. he told me
he wouldn't BD with me if I am on Clomid
as he doesn't want an "un-natural" child.
I have wanted his children since the first time
I laid eyes on him and am willing to do whatever it takes.
I don't think men understand the drive and desires of
a woman focused on having their child..
He just doesn't understand.

Yes, today I need a room...
To sit in,
To cry in,
To sleep away my cares in,
To dream about tomorrow in,
To be secure in,
To be quiet and reflective in;
Uninterrupted,
Undisturbed.
Alone in my room.

Thanks.

Laura

DH and I have been trying to concieve for over 2 years.
I am going nuts thinking we will never
have a chance to make the greatest gift of all.
DH is getting upset too. We are both healthy.
But I never knew it would be this hard.
If there is a room available
please keep hubby and I in mind....LOL
Thank You,
Diana and Chad

My Ode to TTC
(dedicated to all those walking the walk)

Beep, beep, beep, time to take my BBT.
Up, down, up it goes.
Will I ovulate?

What!? I never knew I had mucus in places other than my nose! It's not
between my toes... What!? I have to check where?
Boy I never knew my body did so much work!

Pee, pee on your ovulation sticks
or use your monitor today!
1 line? 2 lines? are they the same color?
3 bars and an egg shaped thing!
Ovulation is coming, time to jump in bed!

One day, two day, three day, four.
Make a little love, then make a little more.
Five day, six, phew! Time for a break!
Even dear hubby is starting to ache!

Oh, a temparature rise! One, two, three!
Three elevated days, mean now it's phase three!

Waiting, waiting, waiting.
Oh, what fun is this!
Two whole weeks to see if it was a hit or miss!

A few days till the dreaded thing is due!
Will it come or not?
Sure, hope it doesn't!

A tingle, a drop, run to the potty!
Is it here? I hope not!
Phew, false alarm!

Look up pregnancy symptoms.
What!? As menstruation they're the same!
This is enough to drive anyone insane!

Lump in my throat, tears in my eyes.
I find another attempt is unsuccessful.
"I'm back in the saddle again!"

Meanwhile, months go by and Sally, Meg and Jane are all pregnant!
It happened so quickly for them!
What's wrong with me?
I wonder, will it ever be?

The uncertainty breaks my heart!
Sometimes, it brings me to blubbering tears!
I want off this emotional roller coaster!

Beep, beep, beep time to take my BBT!
The cycle starts all over again.
In irritation I wonder who first said
"Trying to conceive is fun and exciting!"
Obviously, they've never actually TRIED it!
