Trying and Trying

*sigh* this was the third month since we have started trying (for #1) and *sigh again* it doesn't look like anything is happening. took 2 preggo tests before new years, both negative. two days later as i was emptying the trash bag one of the tests fell out and it was POSITIVE!!! how did this happen?? i thought it was some sort of miracle! i was sooo excited. i went out and bought two new tests and both were negative :( apparently sometimes they can mysteriously switch to positive after a day or two. how mean is that?
im trying to stay positive. this is only the third cycle since i have been off birth control. lets hope that the next cycle is it!

saffronryvre, try not to stress to much hun *hugs* I dont know why those stupid tests do that urgggg!! I just had an similar experience to that last cycle..I tested and it was neg, before I went to cry myself to sleep I did my cheapie and looked at it for maybe a minute and then gave up hope, when I woke up in the morning, I checked it again and there was a line! behold!!! so I ran to the store got to more and negs..I vented to girls on here and it really helped and they were very positive!! 1 day later I woke up to a HORRIFIC AF :( no matter what I was sad..so I understand your feelings. On a better note you have been trying for roughly as long as I have, and really that isnt long at all...even though it feels like FOREVER!! I know..but I have 2 healthy DD's, so they are is definatley nothing wrong with me, my body just knows best..and will time #3 to when it feels suited. Also God is control also. So try to relax hun, and you always have your next cycle! I will be here for you to lean on, through the ups (BFP's) and well...lets say more ups!!! lol Keep your head up hun! Whats your cycle look like and how have you been doing everything so far?? :)

its usually pretty regular, start on time, go for about 5 days, finish, ovulate on time. so thank G-d everything seems to be right where its supposed to be.
we've been doing everything i read to help concieve and i have been doing prenatal yoga and i find that it really helps me relax. also i feel like all the hip opening exercises can't hurt ;)
im not really so negative or too devestated since it really is only the third month and you're right, its not really that much time. but seeing that false positive really put a dent in my mental state.
anyway, im really glad i posted up here just hearing from someone else helps alot. thank you and here's hoping for next time :)!

saffronryvre,
I signed up on this site so that I could let you know what I did that helped me. We had been ttc for 3 years to no avail. A year and a half ago, October 07, I had to have surgery to remove part of my right ovary due a one of my eggs growing there without sperm, called a dermoid. Well, the doctor said I was fine and that we could start trying again in December 07. Still nothing in July of 08. Then I found the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor online. I ordered it and was able to use it for my August - Sept. cycle. I was upset because I did not have a fertile day for the entire cycle. ( My cycle usually 32 days). Then the next month, cycle, we got a fertile day. Of course I made my husband run to the bedroom. Well, on halloween morning I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. I am now 17 weeks into my 40. This is just FYI... It helped us so much...maybe it could do the same for you. Good Luck and my fingers are crossed for you.
