So last month was my first femara cycle. I had a good follicle and we BD like we were supposed to. BFN. I mean I know it is CRAZY to think it would happen on the first month but.... I was hoping

My inlaws say 'you are obsessing too much' and then I think---maybe I am. I mean I"m on all these boards thinking about it. POAS way too early. Counting down to testing, to u/s, to trigger. Then I think...maybe I am meant to only have one. MY son is 6 and the GREATEST child of all time

Maybe there is a reason I'm not pregnant yet---

My follicle check on this cycle is tomorrow..... I"m hoping for good news but I am trying to stay in check too!

TELL ME I'M CRAZY

Sara (28)

Hi Sara,

You are by FAR NOT crazy!!!! I think we have all gone through many thoughts like that; TTC is such a crazy emotional journey. It’s so very hard but we are here for you. All of us have been there many times.

I do believe things happen when they are meant too....I know it’s very hard to see that when you are in the middle of an uphill battle but I truly believe it does work that way. I know I have to try to keep this in mind as well….its been a crazy 2 years but in the end I truly do think this is true.

Good luck at your scan tomorrow. I truly hope you find your special recipe and soon!!!! Try to keep your chin up and let us know if we can help in any way!!!! Sending lots of positive energy and

BIG BIG HUGS!!!!!

Amanda,

Thank you for your kind words. I'm trying not to obsess about timing. I chalked up last year's ttc journey not happening bc I was taking care of my mom while she was sick (well helping my dad anyway) then she passed away 9/26/06 and then I thought--now must be the time. Then nothing. Then my dad had a melanoma scare but thank GOD after his lymphnode scan it hadnt spread. Then I thought--now is the time. Still nothing.... lost 50 lbs in the best shape I've been in in at least 6 years! Now must be the time-----found the special femara recipe.... maybe it will be time now. I'm hoping the spirit of my mom is with me this cycle (as its been almost a year) and she'll help me conceive the boy or girl I so desire. She always wanted more grandbabies!

Thanks for the kind words. I'll let you know how the scan goes!

Good Luck with your scan tomorrow Sara, and you are so not crazy, my first month on Femara i felt the same way, high hopes with a BFN. As Amanda said, everything does happen for a reason. Did you do IUI?
