How long did you TTC before you strike?

It took me more than a year after married to get pregnant with my first girl . Was so worried that I was unable to conceive then. The 2nd boy came along 19th mths later when I was not planning for it.:001_302:

Just to share my disappointment. I have been ttc-ing since feb'08 and I am diagnosed with inverted womb. My menses have been fairly regular except for a false (happy) alarm in May when it was late for 3 days. This time round I was so sure I'd conceive as I had most of the symptoms and was late for 11 days but.....tested negative. Had spotting for 2 days and then suddenly bled. Went to KKH and had the checks etc and I am not pregnant. I wonder what went wrong. Did I miscarry or some other reasons?


Now I feel so emotionally weak that I wonder if I dare to ttc again.....=(

I'm the kind who is not so easy to get pregnant.
First one, tried for about 18 months, 2nd one tried for about 24 months.
But I must say that my husband and I were too busy and too tired after work, to try. So we actually wasted a lot of chances. Plus mesus not regular, don't know when is the ovulation period. So just depended on luck.

Will stop at 2, it's too tiring to be preganant...

No 1 was conceived within first month of TTC. Been TTC # 2 since Dec 07 & finally after 9 long months, I had a BFP on the test. Currently 6w&5d pregnant. I thought I am never going to strike it & thinking of see the fertility doctor in Jan 2009.

No 1 was "symptoms free" - sort of at this time but I am feeling so sleepy & gassy now. I wish I'm into the 12th Week so I can be normal again.

Wasn't TTC. In fact, I think God was trying to make me eat my words. Just before finding out I was preggie I had proclaimed to my then bf I didn't want kids coz I didn't want that kind of commitment & responsibility. So much for that idea.

ALMOST same story but with a twist.

WTTC - Wasn't Trying To Conceive.

after testing positive & confirming @ gynae, went to meet my gfs. so they all asked me "so how long did it take for u to get preggy?"

i was like "huh? wasn't trying ler. i didn't think my hb & i can have kids that easily."

they all went HAR??!!

so ... yea. am partially @ fault. cos didn't practise BC.

but my DH is the one to BLAME. a few days before his "soldier" met my "maiden", he smart alec went for a foot massage. happened to be @ tanjong katong complex. walked ard until 3rd floor, stepped into massage shop. old malay uncle touch him one time & asked "got kids?"

hb said "no"

then uncle smile smile.



next weekend .... KENA!!

*pengz*




so now DH & i joke ... one fine day we must go back to that pakcik (uncle), put DS in his lap ... and say "this is all YOUR FAULT!!!"


then when DS older & can talk, everytime he notti we'll tell him "send you back to UNCLE then you know!!!"

lol

Hi dear, probably right now u shldn't brood over it too much coz it will only stress u out. Stress too much also affects yr chances of getting pregnant.. I know it is difficult but give it a try.

Btw, do any of u have weight problem? If yes, it will also affect the chances of getting pregnant easily.

Can u calculate when u r ovulating? If can, u can try to do it during the days when u ovulate, to increase ur chances of getting pregnant. Besides that, u can try lifting ur butt up w a pillow after ur DH eject his sperms? To make sure the sperms do swim up and not flow out.

Give it a try ya & relax.. :) *hUggieS* I also had unprotected sex for almost 3yrs w/o hitting the jackpot but once I wasn't stress, voila! My no.2 came. Good luck gal!

got 1 thread with some mummies' recommendations.

my friend said she took health drinks and supplements to conceive...

my cousin who were takg contraceptives and wanted to conceive but failed for a long time actually conceived after they gave up...

so do not feel bad and stress yrself....coz u already checked and both of u r capable of having babies...

best wishes ya.
