How do you keep going month after month, when ttc? I was "almost" pregnant this past month. I went to doctor today for an ultrasound and they want me to take a month off ("if I don't mind"). They want to do some blood tests and don't want me to be on any meds... OH sure why not, I've only been trying for a year so what's another month right???? So tired of all this I guess but I want to be pregnant so bad so I just keep pushing through it and it's bringing me down. Maybe the "month off" will be good for me but right now it's the last thing I want to do.....SO FRUSTRATED. I just don't know how to just live my life without thinking about being pregnant and wanting to be pregnant every minute of every day???? It seems like every where I go everyone is pregnant......:(

I am sorry I thought this was your month especially since they called you and said your blood test was positive. Did they explained what happened to cause that? A year is a long time. I have tried 3 months and I am frustrated and thinking it might take a year or just not happen at all because I guess you never know. Is your doctor thinking you might have fertility problems? I guess you will join me in TTC soon. best of luck to you!

ishade... it is so incredibly difficult, I know. I have not been trying as long as you, but I too lost a pregnancy.
I was early on as well, only about 5 weeks. What you and I experienced is called a chemical pregnancy. An egg was fertilized, and implanted for only a short time giving off enough HcG to make a test positive. This is actually a very common occurance. I urge you to do a google search about it on the inernet so you can get more information.
I think the first step for me was realizing that it was real, and my DH and I needed to mourn in a way we saw fit. We have continued to try with no luck yet, but I keep going because I know it will happen again. You just have to pray and stay positive.
Please don't give up:) We are all here for you everyday. Maybe it will be good for you to take a month off. I took 3 months ttc off actually and I came back to it feeling completly refreshed and ready! I know everyone is different...but this is what worked for me.
I am praying for you:angel:

Hello ~
Reading your thread brought tears to my eyes. I'm so sorry you went through that.... I think the month off would do you some good. Give yourself some time to just not "think" about getting pregnant for a short while. After a month, you can start anew and hopefully feel a sense of peace. Give yourself a break, you deserve it.

ishade, I feel for you. I have been ttc for a long time as well, almost 2 years, and had several chemical Pgs and 1 missed m/c - they all brought me down. I was told to take a month off to physically recover but despite my best efforts my head wouldn't let me do it! In the end I booked a long weekend away with my mum to coincide with BD time so I was forced to take some time off - it really helped me.
No one can probably say anything to make you feel better but I do hope our stories can help you and that you do what is best for you (and your DH who I am sure will also be suffering).
My thoughts and wishes are with you.
