I was hoping that I was pregnant but I found out from my doctor that I am not ...
this is not sympathy post btw for the anti sob police mob ;)

I thought I was pregnant for the past month but I just found out that I am not and I have never felt so sad in all my life. LOL - you have no idea how I can't wait to have a kid.I was feeling all the symptoms but I am just tired from work and I am fat because of McDonald's. This is making re-evaluate a lot of things ... I think the one that is pushing me to have a baby is because of mom - when she was in the hospital after her aneurysm she told me that I don't have to wait to have a baby lol. And I have heard her talk to my aunt about wanting to become a grandmother so in a way it stuck in my mind but its not meant to be ... I sound pathetic I know but life goes on. I just can't wait to become a mom. Have a great day.

2. I was wondering about it
At least you know. I think it is better this way around instead of being pregnant and not wanting the baby. Just keep trying it will work out eventually :)

:hug:

5. Its so pathetic I know but I feel like crying now ...
Edited on Fri Sep-14-07 08:52 AM by CarolinaPeridot
my doctor told me if go another month without a cycle to come back but I don't want to keep up my hope. She said something about false negatives and being too early to detect hormone levels but I zoned out by that time. The father to be and I counted our chickens too early - he was talking about the baby in the stroller and jogging in the park last night.

And today its raining for the first time in 2 months ...

17. Please don't think it's pathetic
There's nothing wrong with feeling sad when you're disappointed.

I'll hold good thoughts for you CP.

Oh...that sucks.

Best of luck on your journey to motherhood. Even if the short-term bump in the road hurts, I'm sure you'll get there somehow.

7. I know I am only 27 but a part of me is also scared about endometriosis ...
and I am afraid that I can't concieve. I don't want that to be.But its all in the universe's hands.

8. Well, if I were you, I wouldn't start worrying about all the things that might impair fertility
Edited on Fri Sep-14-07 09:03 AM by BlueIris
or your ability to sustain a pregnancy until you have to worry about them (especially endo, which may not be the world's biggest obstacle, even if you do have it). Keep the lines of communication open w/providers and remember that you have lots of time to explore whatever options need exploring.

15. Have your OB check your thyroid!
A neighbor of mine had problems conceiving, ended up going through fertility treatments, had twins (unfortunately one did not make it). THEN she didn't get her period for a long time after she gave birth. Come to find out, she had her thyroid tested and it was abnormal (I don't know whether she was hyper or hypo)

Once that was straightened out she had no problems conceiving. Your thyroid (TSH) needs to be around 1.5 to 2.0 for you to feel good and carry a baby. Just a suggestion. :) Best of luck!!

I hope that it's not too long before you report back that you are expecting a little Peridot and that everything is just fine.

11. I know two women with endo who were told they were infertile
They've both got three kids, so I wouldn't give up hope yet.

12. Have you ever considered swapping out your diet as an experiment?
I'm sorry to hear you are not expecting. I have seen you talking on here before about how much you'd like to have a baby, and I can tell you are so very sad about this last bit of news.

:hug:

I want to suggest to you that you might want to take a look at some of the materials out there that talk about fertility and how it is impacted by diet. I'm not advocating any major life changes or anything, but you might find that some minor tweaks to your diet will improve your chances of conception.

You might want to abandon white breads and go to whole grains, and you might want to work at eating fish a few times a week. Just those two changes can happily impact on your ability to get pregnant. If you can up your intake of veggies and fruits and reduce the amount of red meats you eat that can help as well.

As an added bonus, you will be doing a lot to help your baby if you do get pregnant while eating good foods.

:)

Good luck to you, and please, don't forget that this is about the JOY you share with your partner. Brightest Blessings!


Laura

13. oh hon -
I'm sorry you're feeling so disappointed. :hug:

Though, at least now you know how you really feel about it and you can take the steps to get healthy and get ready!!!

Don't forget that you're not the only one who needs a 'healthy' diet - so does your partner! Keep the stress levels to a minimum. Don't "work" at trying to get pregnant, but enjoy - uh - working at it. ;)

It'll all work out, really.

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

16. We were'nt working towards it , it just happened.
We are not married lol but we told each other that we would take care of the baby if the tests were positive. I swear he was more estatic than I was. He told me that he was ready to buy cigars for his buds if the test came back positive.Now that's sweet. I am ok now. Everything happens for a reason.

I know how painful that is. Don't feel bad about feeling sad. There are a lot of us who have been where you are. I don't know how long you have been trying, but don't give up. :hug:
