Discovery Home & Health

well i ma officially going bonkers with the whole getting pregnant thing i thought i had tried everything last month and still nothing i take the vitamins, i am losing weight i dont smoke i dont drink in fact i think it has now taken over my life completely,i have wanted this so badly for the last 18 months it has come between me and my husband and everything
i have been trying for around 7 months after coming off that bloody awful depo injection and still nothing spoke to the doctor today she said your young and healthy you shouldnt have any trouble give it more time, i need to lose weight granted but arrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
i know that i am trying to hard and foccussing on it far to much and as soon as i forget about it and relax that it will more than likely happen, but as im sure you all know its so hard not to think about it.
any helpful tips or advice again to stop me thinking that i am completely useless would be great. i already have a two year old daughter which is enough to handle anyway but i am getting desperate now i dont want a huge age gap betwwen them.
enough of me ranting and raving
sorry

Hi

I have already had my baby but i found that using a temeratur chart helped as i could figer out when i was about to ovulate. These can be got from boots.

Hia ! I got pregnant in the end when I brought a fertility kit from Boots. Expensive but worth it. However, I do believe it could be your injection. I had it done and they had told me that fertility can take up to a year and sometimes more before going back to normal after the end of the three months it takes effect from. If you see what I mean... I know what it's like though. It's awful. Each months get you more and more down and obsessed. But that's bad news for fertility. It's a vicious circle. I hope your husband/partner is supportive and understanding. This is a crucial time for you both. You need him to validate your feelings on this. Good luck. Anne

Hi Leah, well if you're officially bonkers then I think we all must be as most of us have had the same feelings as you have now. All the advice in the world will not stop you thinking about getting pregnant but one thing you can say is that you are not useless as you're already a Mum so you can do it!
Take care, Nicky xxx

thanks everyone i am beginning to calm down and be rational about things i tried one of those ovulation kits last month but i will leave it this month and get one next month, i cant face anymore dissapointment i got my hopes up so much as i used the kit last time and it didnt work. my husband is great he is now very supportive he didnt understand at first why i was getting so upset but now he does he really wants me to gt pregnant now as well but he is very relaxed about it just need it to rub of me now. it just doesnt help all my family say when are you going to have another one? or i thought you would be pregnant by now? it just gets a bit much but i am taking a month out to rest and relax and see what next month brings

Leah,

When you're family ask you again, tell them the truth! I promise they'll stop asking if they know it's taking time.... they'll be too embarassed

Good luck!
