waiting on my little miracle

Day five of blogging, Day 545 of trying to concieve

Its coming to the end of mine and my other half’s small camping getaway, back to the hectic home life tomorrow. I really wish we could stay in the countryside forever. Back to town life; working and chores. Aswell as more doctors appiontments, we were given the all clear 6 months ago that there was nothing wrong fertility wise with me or my partner. 6 months later and still no baby we are going to see about getting a second opinion. I hate doctors though, its intimidating and makes me feel uneasy. Then knowing i have to wait for more results- another step in our waiting game, but i’d do anything for a baby! ANYTHING!

bubyluvssafari-deactivated20111 asked: What methods have you tried? Have you heard of "Fertility Awareness Method"? Do you have regular periods? If you do try the calendar method, if used correctly you will be able to tell the days you are fertile, if you don't have regular periods, try cervical mucus method, this one worked for me since I don't have regular periods. Usually, you will have the most mucus just before ovulation. It looks clear and feels slippery like raw egg white. When it can be stretched between the fingers These are the "slippery days." It is the peak of your fertility.

These are actually some of natural birth control methods, but we used it not to prevent pregnancy but to actually get pregnant.

Hope this helps. Good luck :)

Hi, sorry it has taken me so long to reply to your question. I have been on my phone internet the last few days and it wouldnt let me reply. Thanks very much for the advice. I dont have regular periods so the mucus method sounds perfect for me. I have tried something like this before at the beginning of ttc and would be more than willing to try it again.

I will be looking out for my ‘slippery days’, and hope that it helps.

Thank you very much :) 

day four of blogging, day 544 of trying to concieve

Just realised I never posted anything yesterday, i completely forgot. Just logged on now to find a few message, thanks for them all. I am however on my phone internet for the next few days as I’m away and it will not let me answer them. I will make answering them a priority once I get home, just didn’t want people to think I was ungrateful for some wonderful advice and support. I AM very grateful.

So being away is helping to take my mind off things, camping with my man is so romantic. We have had some fun baby making in the tent- I just feel a little sorry for the people on our camp site haha. The sun bathing and tan (the tan is small-but there haha) is also making me feel sexy. I take back what I was saying the other day about becoming bored of baby making, once again I am very much enjoying!

Thanks for all 16 people following me, the fact you are here makes me feel less alone and the stories I have read give me hope, I am feeling very happy today. Thanks x

day two of blogging, day 542 of trying to concieve

well here i am on my second day of blogging, i have been looking around tumblr at other mothers-to-be, people who have concieved after struggling and those who are still struggling like me and all i can say is wow, these people are so inspiring. the hope they give me and others is amazing. if i inspire people with my blog as half as much as some others i would be very happy.

so, how i feel today lets see…. better than yesterday is the main thing, the sun is shining and after dinner i have a full afternoon of plans to keep me busy. which is a much needed ingredient while trying to concieve, something to take your mind off it. and then tonight back to baby making, its around the middle of my cycle so fingers crossed. i try not to get my hopes up but i always think, ‘it might be this time’ and then get into an excited fluster. and have to say to myself, ‘naughty amy, stop it, youll only be let down again’, so the key is positive thinking but just to take everyday at a time!

thats something my partner keeps saying, ‘everyday at a time, babe’ i dont want to wait anymore days. i know he only says it to convince himself that oneday it will happen and that just like the doctor said its a ‘waiting game’. reminding himself that he will have a baby in his arms,a toddler running around shouting ‘daddy’,’daddy’ one day.

we just wish that one day was today.

ourfamilyinthemaking asked: Hey, I am so sorry. It brings me tears to my eyes to hear your story. I am following you in hopes to hear a happy ending. May I ask you if you chart your fertility signs or use OPK? I used TCOYF for years to avoid pregnancy so I am a pro at it. Good Luck to you.

Hey, thanks for this message. Im hoping to have a happy ending too, this desire i have to complete my family is becoming overwhelming. However, im sure you felt the same. How long had you been trying? And as for your question i have been charting my ovulation and fertility signs but its irregular, just got to keep peeing on sticks, both ovulation and pregnancy, with fingers crossed. Good Luck to you too with bump and it was lovely to hear from you.

If you’re a young mom, parenting blog, or mommy-to-be, reblog this. I wanna follow every single one of you.

day one of blogging, day 541 of trying to concieve.

first day of blogging so bare with me, 541st day of trying to concieve so you would thought i would have had it right but no, turns out i don’t.

im young, im relatively healthy (no major illnesses), i do smoke sometimes when i drink but that shouldnt affect it too much, right? and i hardly drink. yet nothings happened and im getting sick of trying, never thought id hear myself say im sick of baby making but its getting that way. not that my partners complaining yet, hes loving it!

as you can see im counting the days, its pretty much all i think about lately. others who were trying and then concieved say, ‘just dont think about it, it will happen when it happens’ - well thats alright for them say they already have their baby. im the one babyless, im the one full of guilt and disappiontment every month when nature occurs. the look on my partners face when i tell him ‘maybe next time’, then 3 weeks later ‘maybe next month’ and so on. the guilt hurts knowing the one thing he wants more than anything i cant seem to give him. anyone else who is trying will know this feeling, the feeling of; anger, disappiontment and heartbreak.

however, the worse feeling ever is the feeling of the unknown and the waiting game, want to join me on my quest for a baby? FOLLOW ME!
