so i was 2 weeks and 3 days late. i have a tendency to get worked up, so i tried to remain really calm about the possibility of being pregnant. I husband swore up and down he felt like i was. i went to the doctor and she did a blood test, the results are due today. but low and behold my period came last night and it was all i could do to get out of bed this morning. why did it take so long and how am i supposed to keep trying when all i feel is that i am broken. don't be rude i just need some help !!!??? thanks

That's rough when the your hope for something is so strong and you end up being disappointed. I'm so sorry. It is possible that you were pregnant, causing your period to be late. Then you could have miscarried. Many women get pregnant much more often than they are aware, but the pregnancy just doesn't take, so your period comes late. If that is what happened with you, it's somewhat good news because it means you CAN get pregnant. Keep a healthy diet and exercise. I know how hard it can be. It took me four years to get pregnant. It's hard to not feel jealous every time someone else gets pregnant. Especially when you know they weren't even trying. Just try to relax and maybe slow down a little bit on the "trying." You are more fertile when you are relaxed. Good Luck!

Ive had this happen before too. But mine went so far as to have a POSITIVE test! Its probably an early miscarriage. I was pregnant for about a week after my period was due, then I got my period. I was really confused cause I had a positive test and felt pretty obviously pregnant.
I was really bummed out for a little while but you need to realize that your body knows what its doing. It abandoned that pregnancy (if you were) because something was wrong.
You will be ok. Just wasnt the time for that baby yet. Could happen next month or next year, but you will have a healthy baby.

Maybe you should get checked out at a doctor to make sure you were pregnant and to make sure you are all the way miscarried so you dont get sick or an infection....

Good luck!

Been there, done that. Hang in there girl, and DON'T GIVE UP. The odds are very heavily in your favour that you'll get pregnant sooner or later and then it will be worth all you've gone through. Hang onto that thought when you feel really down. Not a lot of women get pregnant straight away, and some of us get more unhappy than others when we find out we're not expecting after all. It's a natural occurrence, and you're not alone by a long shot. Don't let yourself become so devastated when your period arrives; one time it won't, and even if it does kkep coming there's a lot of medical help available that practically guarantees you of a pregnancy. Good luck.

First of all, stop stressing. Keep trying, that is the fun part, but when trying, don't look at it as trying to get pregnant, look at it as being close and sharing with your husband, so when it happens you are relaxed. Maybe you should try timing your ovulation as well, knowing when you are fertile will help out as well, and finally, if you have been trying for a while and still not pregnant, see if there is a medical problem- not anything serious, just a low count somewhere and that can be taken care of.
Hope this helps.

Okay, deep breath. You may actually be pregnant--you don't know yet. Sometimes women bleed during pregnancy and that can be bad, but it can still be okay--it's 50/50.
You may also not be pregnant. I really really recommend NFP. Charting your basal body temperature really helps a woman know what is going on with her body--last cycle for me was 33 days long, but I always have 28 day cycles like clockwork. This is the only time that I have EVER experienced one that long since I began charting my symptoms using the NFP method we use. But I didn't think I was pregnant? Why not? I knew by my basal body temperature that I had ovulated 5 days late, so I expected my period to be 5 days late!!! Charting helped me know what was going on with my body. I really think every woman should be charting--even if she does not use it to avoid or achieve pregnancy like my husband and I--because you become so "in tune" with your body. Below are some links if you are interested. I will keep you, your husband and your potential baby (?) in my prayers. Please repost and let everyone know how you are doing. God bless!

It could have been off because of all the stress and excitment that comes with trying to have a baby. i'm truly sorry that you havent had any luck. Don't give up hope. Sometimes it just takes time. I know a girl who tried for years. Finally after the 4th year of trying she got pregnant and now has 2 kids.

keep the faith

I felt the same way. My hubby and I had been trying for a while without any results. I actually had three 5 day period in one month and I remember talking with my mom one day and just crying and saying what if I am broken. The funny thing was that two weeks after that conversation with her I found out I was 5 weeks preggo. Try not to stress, but just use this time to enjoy alone time with your hubby. Sometimes we get so caught up in trying for a baby that we forget to enjoy life. It will happen for you, just remember sometimes it takes time for our bodies to regulate after getting off birth control, etc. Good luck!

My friend kept obsessing about getting pregnant and I told her to stop worrying about it and let nature take it's course. Low and behold she has a beautiful baby girl. Try not to take these things personal. Have the doctor test you and your husband to make sure you can both have children and see if you need help conceiving. If for some reason you can't have children there are other options out there.

it happens and i am sorry. Ur not broken though it is normal. just keep on trying. things happen for a reason. women feel terrible after miscarriages but still go one to have healthy children when u feel ready again then give it a try again.

just remember what you are working toward. its hard and it takes a long time sometimes but its well worth it when the baby finally comes. chin up and remember you are doing this for your baby. it will happen. you are ment to be a mom. good things come to those who wait. now stay out of bed. cheer up and make that baby = ) .
