Does it happen with all women trying to get pregnant ?

Question

Every month after periods are over and after having unprotected sex with my husband , i try to find symptoms in me thinking that i am pregnant. I keep checking whether there are any changes in my breasts..i think my appetite is increased and every month i feel that i am definitely pregnant this time. But at the end when menstrual cycle starts i get very disappointed .This has been going on since last 6 months.

Answer 1

Oh yes and it gets so frustrating and disappointing when that darn period comes, doesn't it? I know how you feel because it has happened to me a few times. Even to the point where I missed a period, and the only other time I ever missed my period was when I was pregnant. We thought for sure that we were pregnant - had all of the symptoms - but we weren't. The doctor said that I probably just didn't ovulate that cycle - which is such a weird thing because I never had a problem before. And the one time that we actually started trying to conceive, and I wasn't ovulating. Very strange, but our body can deceive us so easily. Besides, pregnancy symptoms are so much similar with premenstrual and hormonal imbalance symptoms, sometimes we just want to think that we're going through pregnant symptoms when it's actually just pms. It's hard, but it's life. And we get on with life, move on, and keep on trying until we achieve our goal and get pregnant.

Goodluck with your ttc! Hope you get pregnant soon! Keep your head up, it will happen sooner or later.

You need to realize that by the time you have your next period you aren't going to really see any symptoms ( You won't have a bigger appetite until the 2nd trimester)... at the most you will be 3 weeks pregnant and the pregnancy hormone will just begin getting built up in your blood. The only symptom I had was headaches and they only happened the week after my missed period. Give your mind a rest... know it takes a while to conceive and try to relax... stressing over getting pregnant can actually keep you from becoming pregnant. Just focus on being healthy, and enjoying sex. Nature will take over from there. Good Luck.

yes it is normal, don't stress about it. You are a little too high strung, though and sometimes if you get too stressed it can give you similar symptoms and it can also keep you from getting pregnant. I understand you want reassurance (I am the same way) a good way to start is to buy some ovulation kits and see when you really are ovulating in between cycles. Chart your cycles too and see how regular they are. Not all women ovulate midway through their cycles. Some ovulate earlier, some later. I would say if you do this for six more months (and try very very hard to destress yourself a little) and then if nothing is happening still, you may want to go see a fertility specialist to make sure your body is functioning as it should and you are releasing eggs. I hope this helps.

I do the identical factor besides I have been at the capsule and went off, I did not know the way lengthy my cycle used to be and each month I suggestion I used to be overdue. Some ladies don't seem to be at the 28 day cycle. Try documenting on a calendar for 3 monthes then you'll know the way lengthy you cycle is and It is less difficult to calculate while you're ovulating. Also use a basal thermometer the first thing within the morning earlier than you get off the bed. When there's a spike and a drop to your base temperature your mostly ovulating. Good good fortune and check out to not strain such a lot, it is going to come less difficult that method

Answer 5

I understand you, I have been trying for over a year and a half. My sister-in-law told me this and if you think about it is true. You start to want a baby so bad that your mind will start making you (think) you feel the way that you are (wanting) to feel. This is so true for me, I mean I starting (getting a bigger lower belly) I was hungry, I felt nauseated over things that never made me feel that way before, I was tired, etc. I am sure you know what I mean and I am having the hardest time doing this so I shouldn't be preaching it but you need to be patient. I would want nothing more than for my husband and I to become parents but God just does not have it in his plan right now. I prayed for you just now and you should do the same, and it WILL happen one way or another. Adopt, Foster, Surrogate. I know that these don't sound as special but no matter how you become a parent that child will mean the world to you. I wish you luck and whish for me to. Good lusk sister! God Bless!

Answer 6

I'm really sorry to hear about your problems with conceiving. I know that when I was was trying to conceive, I went through the same sort of anxiety and frustration. I looked too far into things, and I saw symptoms that weren't really there. When I did actually get pregnant, I knew that this was it 'for sure' within five days of conception.

My advice to you is to try to relax - I know it's hard but in 10 years time, you probably won't care if your child was conceived in June, July or August.

Make trying to conceive a special time, most people only have that experience a few times in their lives. Make the most out of the closeness with your partner.

Good luck in trying to conceive!

Answer 7

YES! Totally normal. I have been trying to get pregnant for just over a year, and every month it's the same thing. Every cramp, the slightest wave of nausea, if I'm too hungry, too thirsty, etc. It's so hard not to read anything into it. I finally have to just ask myself, if I wasn't trying to get pregnant, would I think anything of this? Almost always, the answer is no. It's so frustrating every month when your period does show up! Best of luck to you, and hang in there!

Answer 8

To get pregnant you must have sex on a day that your eggs are being released.

After the 3rd day from the day that menses started put a thermometer into your mouth and check your body temperature every morning before you start turning in bed. The best time is at about 4 a.m. Maintain a chart. You will find that on one day the body temperature drops from 1/2 degree to one degree. This is the day that your eggs are being released. If you want to get pregnant this is the day that you must have sex.

After having sex you must stay in bed for about 30 mins with your knees bent up so that the sperms will not pour out - to enable them to travel up.

Get your husband to save his sperms in the testacles for at least 5 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job

Answer 9

My wife complained of the same thing the first two years we were married. Then all of a sudden here comes babies. Do two things to help yourself get pregnant. First of all relax. Your stressing out and this can effect your ovulation and your cycle. Second, Elevate your hips for about 20 minutes after sex with hubby. This does help conception. Our youngest ( 4th child) is living proof.
