I Am NOT PREGNANT!

[Chicks R Friends NOT Food]

I'm seeing a pattern of giving up working for people. Maybe you should give up for a couple months.

I'm so very sorry for the disappointment you and your DH must be feeling.

I can honestly say, I have been there and done that. We were blessed by adopting three beautiful, healthy babies and then having two biological miracles (We were told I could never conceive).

Please remember that God's timing is always perfect. It may seem as though every month that passes is a reminder of your arms being empty, but your perfect moment is coming. Try to spend each day learning something new; something that will make you a better woman, a better wife, a better BYC member

, and a better mother in the future. Growing in wisdom and performing small acts of great kindness are wonderful ways to work through emotionally difficult times.

I will be praying for you both.

It will happen when you least expect it. Relax, and stop worrying!

I wouldn't give up yet....whenever I find out I am pregnant I start drinking a ton of water and that can cause a negative test at the doctors office, and being so early you wouldn't have enough HCG to over power the water overload..........I sure hope this is your case.

There are a few things that you can take that are supposed to help your chances.....Red raspberry leaf tea, vit's B6-B12, Baby asp. and evening primrose oil. When I became pregnant back in April I was taking Robitussin for a cough. Supposedly that helps too.

I'm not saying these are a sure fire way to make that happen but it's supposed to help. You can google it and find out the reasons why.
Regardless you still need to just relax and forget about trying. As said in a pp, it will happen when the moment is right! Until then have fun trying!

Dont test early. i didnt read through the thread to see if you did or not- but dont. Never. Test when you're a day or two LATE. Those tests are sooo sensitive they pick up on pregnancies that are NOT set yet. If you go and research pregnancy statistics you'll find that only around 25% of pregnancies over a woman's life time actually take. That doesnt mean she miscarries, it means that sperm and egg meet, and the egg might be implanted and causing a change in hormones, but for whatever reason the pregnancy doesnt take- all this happens before you're even LATE for your period- women really never would know. Either the genetic material in the egg or the sperm is compromised, or you have some small infection or your immune system is rallying against some exposure you're not aware of- or the implantation failed to finalize due to the uterine environment at that time- or you're under some level of emotional or physical stress- anything. It DOESNT DOESNT DOESNT mean there is a problem with you or your ability to get pregnant. But most women dont know about these things, and because those darn OTC tests are so sensitive they pick up on those low level hormones too early.

Once the implanted egg begins to divide in a healthy way, and your body accepts that its healthy enough for a pregnancy, the resulting surge of hormones stops the upcoming period. Thats why its much better to just wait until you're really late before testing. The longer you wait, the more sanity you'll save yourself.

Anyway, all that aside, stop trying to get pregnant. The stress of trying keeps a healthy pregnancy from taking hold. If you're having sex and walking away hoping hoping hoping that its this time that it works you can bet your booty you're stressed enough to keep it from happening.

Just enjoy your husband, focus on life and living, focus on the outside parts of preparing for baby- the ones that arent going to make you pine away after that thing you dont have, and relax. Pick up a new hobby. Get a new job. Something. You'll be pregnant before you know.

I dont mean stop *trying* in the physical sense, I mean mentally. You cant make it happen anyway.

I am not nuts, I know what I am talking about. Been there done it myself with all my pregnancies. I've walked beside two friends in the same boat, both of whom struggled with false pregnancies, early losses, and infertility with no real medical reason anyone could pin point. And this advice has resulted in three babies. I only wish I had listen to it earlier on for myself. Would have saved a bunch of heart ache.

Relax, you're a baby make'n machine! That function cant help but happen for you.

I wish you baby dust and luck.... make sure your hubby is not wearing tighty whiteys...

My DH tends to um, let's call it "freeball" or "go regimental" and we are expecting our 4th... THROUGH TWO types of birth control.

Here's hoping for hard healthy swimmers!!!

So sorry it didn't pan out the way it should have been. I've been there and have been trying for four years and nada, nothing. Until I got terminated from my job, worrying didn't help matters either so hubby told me lets go somewhere away from town. So we went to the park that week and had a good time even it was hot that day. Fast forward a month, ta-da! I was pregnant and I didn't have the time to worry about pregnancy and being jobless.

Take a back seat a little while and go from there. Yep I agree with some in here, hubby should not wear tight whites or ride bikes.

you are right...didn't think of that. I was pregnant for a day a few months ago.....tested 3 days before my period and it was positive, 3 days later Mrs. Flo came to visit.

So now I'm confused...and please forgive me if this is TMI...but...

I normally have 30 days between start time of my "special time." The last THREE months, it's been on the lucky #13th day of the month. June, July & August.

This month, I had what felt like cramps, starting on the 9th. Nothing ever came.

The positive test was the 15th. It was an Early Response, claiming to be 99% reliable up to 4 days before your period is missed. The next day, I went to the doctors and was told I was not pregnant.

I woke up at 2am Thursday with HORRIBLE cramps and slapped on a pad & went back to bed. When my alarm went off at 6am, I felt like crap and called in sick. I stayed home from work yesterday with a pounding migraine & cramps...

So it's now the 18th (9 days since my period-like first symptoms showed up) and 5 days past when I think I should have started....

And well....nothing is actually coming out. And hasn't. It's just bad stomach pains (like I'm ovulating/cramping) but nothing....this is has never happened before, either...

Ideas?

Should I call up the doctor again?

I'm tempted to have my blood drawn again & have them do a full hormone test on me...
