TTC #1 and under 30yrs old

Everyone on here is so lovely :) Thanks for your comments!

What I've realised from what I've been through is that everyone has their own story and experience with regard to pregnancy...and although there are many different issues that can arise, every issue is significant to the person going through it. Whether it be not being able to conceive, or having miscarriages..it's all hard...it all hurts.

I thought I was so blessed when I got pregnant straight away. But nothing (and I mean nothing) can prepare you for that moment when you have your 13 week ultrasound, hoping to find out whether it's a boy or a girl...and the person doing the ultrasound says "we're going to have to be philosophical about this" and tells you that despite hearing/seeing a heartbeat 3 weeks prior, your baby has died. One of the hardest things I think I've ever been told - sobbed my heart out. Thought I'd never stop crying...but I did...and each day got easier. And I'm still determined to try again, be positive and optimistic that one day I'll have a "healthy" baby.

For everyone out there who is going through their own sad pregnancy (or non pregnancy) story, my heart goes out to you. It's tough, it really is. But the best thing is the love and support from people around you and people on websites like this...it's just so lovely people can come together and share their stories and support each other in our journey to become mums.

Hey ladies...

Im 26 and DH 31 and we are TTC #1 again. My journey is similar to didi’s…I can’t remember when I came off the BCP it may have been end of 07 beg 08. Got pg Sept '08 but unfortunately found out at our 12week scan bubs had died at 9weeks. We were absolutely devastated!!! Took us sometime to get back on the wagon with getting my body back to some normality and we are currently on our 7th cycle TTC. Just last month had CD21 bloods and Im ov which I was so happy about as had been temping for a couple of months and it didn’t look like I had been. Fx I keep ov from now on! Got to get DH tested and then we can get referred on the fertility associates.

Im also on the weighloss journey, MrsMJD well done on the 20kg loss! How did you do it?

to AF MrsMJD mine did the couple of days late trick this month too, so miserable getting your hopes up like that.

Hi Shellz, from what I gather with charting and this is my only 2 month doing it, is that charting detects ovulation AFTER you have ovulated and can predict pregnancy with sustained high temps. It gives you a good indercation on how your cycles are and your LP etc
I really like charting, it has given me a good overall look at my cycle
If you want to bd every seccond day do OPK s once they are positive do it everyday for 3 days to be sure.

Wow good on you MrsMJD, I was thinking of giving it another go but my give myself a couple of months to do it on my own otherwise I'll give WW another go! Thats an awesome goal to work towards being a leader! When I was going to a WW meetings we had an old lady but she wasn't very good. Im hoping losing some weight will help us with TTC.

Its not much but I dont use it....I think its $45us for a year.....? Once you join you get a months free trial of VIP then it will give you the chance to pay for it or use the free basic version
Free is all good

Hi girls

Just found this thread and there are so many stories like mine! I'm 26 and DH is 27. Met when we were 23 & 24 and we talked about babies straight away (he also has a son, nearly 5) and he pretty much pestered me all the time to start having kids :) I wanted to do the traditional thing and wait till we were married. So, just before the wedding in Nov 08 I went off the Depo injection and AF came in March 09. Decided to wait until July 09 though as we went overseas for 6 weeks. So... we finally started trying July 09. Found out I was pg in Sept 09 but unfortunately MC at 8 weeks in Oct. Started trying again and got pg on next cycle after MC. Found out I MC again at 12 weeks (this was just a month ago and a missed MC).

Was devastated after losing second bubs but keeping positive and AF just arrived yesterday 3.5 weeks after D&C. fx for this cycle but MC's really take the innocence out of being pg so I know I'll worry the whole time :(

Like everyone else, we thought it would be easy because we are young, and I'm starting to hate the saying "at least you're young".

It's so disheartening when there are pg people around you. My younger sis (23) had an unplanned pg with her first when she was 19 and just had her second. Then her partner said the other day that they had a bit of a scare and thought they were pg again!! I love my nieces to bits but just want one of my own.

Good luck to everyone and it's nice to share experiences and know we're not alone :)

Welcome Tinkerbelle, so sorry to hear you’ve been though a tough time. (((Hugs))) to you!

Yeah I hate the 'oh your young' ... so what????? It suppose to make you feel better, I don't think so!

It totally sucks that the innocence has been taken out of being pg and I know I'll be super paranoid next time.

I hope you get your healthy and super sticky BFP real soon.
