Trying again. Will it ever happen???????

lillians mommy - 12:53pm Apr 6, 2008 EST

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant since nov. 2007. That is when the doctor said i t would be safe for me to try again, since we lost our baby girl in august. Lillian Grace born at 19 1/2 wks. due to an incompetent cervix. my periods have been all out of whack. last month i hadnt had a period since jan 20 2008 well i took a test and it was positive. so i made the appt and went and with tears in my eyes looking at my husband when the doctor told me he thinks i had an early miscarriage. so then he said he didnt think i was ovulating the way i was supposed to, and the next week i went back and found that i had 3 ovarian cysts and one of them busted. the doctor put me on a progesterone pill to make me start my period, and i did. but how do i know when i am ovulating? the past 3 months i used ovulation predictor test and they didnt work. i am so ready for it to happen. everyone keeps telling me to stop thinking about it, but none of those people have ever held their 9 oz lifeless daughter just minutes after feeling her kick and hearing her heartbeat. how am i supposed to stop thinking about it. she was a part of me and always will be. how long does it take? lately i have been focusing on other things than trying to get pregnant, i am not obsessing over it and im not taking anymore test unless the doctor thinks its neccessary. its too heart breaking to take a pregnancy test and only having that one line to show up, or worst and having 2 and the doctor telling you that your not. i know that we havent been trying that long, but last time we tried for 7 months. i guess i am just impatient. misty

I know how you feel!

I am so sorry for your loss and all you have experienced. We lost our son @20 weeks this past December to PROM, and have been trying since March of this year. Dr.s have not found any issues with me, or the baby. Our first month back in "the game" was horrific - every twinge and tickle was perceived as pregnancy symptoms. I had voices in my head telling me that I was definitely pregnant. I wanted it to happen so badly. My period was even 4 days late! I think I spent over $30.00 just testing. Alas my period came and I was almost relieved. We decided not to try so hard this month since it would mean that our baby would be born near the same time that we lost our son, and I do not need the additional stress of that on top of a high risk pregnancy. This month is also when we were expecting to have Rex, and emotionally, I just don't feel like it so much. It makes such a difference not to worry about wanting to be pregnant like I did last month. Hang in there. Have fun with your husband. I hope you get preggo soon!
