Posted by Karimoon1

Can't believe we've been trying 6 months now seems like just yesterday we started! Am hoping someone who has medical expertise will see this and help, not meaning any offense to anyone, but I am in-between enrollment periods for insurance so I can't go to my ob-gyn and they don't take questions over the phone so bear with me please.
1st thing is clarification of menstrual cycle length.

This website is counting, as far as i can tell, 1st day of period to 1st day of period for length, but there are other places saying count 1st day of period to last day of next period or end of period to 1st day/last day of next period. I am so confused which one is correct?

Obviously using any of them I am not pregnant yet.

My cycles are regular time again before i started taking birth control that I am very positive of. They are coming about the same length apart and are lasting the same number of days the only exception being this Febuary. It only lasted 3 days which is not normal for me personally though I understand 3-7 is 'normal', but my body since 10years old has never produced a 3 day period EVER. 2-3 days after it stopped I got anxious and took a pregnancy test just to see if maybe it stopped itself for that reason. It was negative

Background on me: i'm 23, fairly healthy only 1 almost-fertility related issue. Endometriosis, ob-gyn said it was very light version no scarring seen and he was extremely positive I should be able to conceive normally.
I moderately exercise getting more in summer because I love warm not cold. I'm not a heavy drinker and have 2-4 cups coffee/latte products every other week. I prefer flavored waters and fruit juices over anything else. I take vitamins (multi,prenatal,zinc,B-complex,ginko bilboa) and ibuprofen for endometriosis/menstrual pain. Cough syrup, Nyquil, benadryl for seasonal allergies only as needed when sick. I eat fairly healthy, I'm not a cook so things come out of plastic packages and cans yes plus I love ramen noodles. I like wheat and whole grain breads, 2% ,vitamin D or whole milk, only recently (13mos) been having lactose free because he prefers it, and I worship fruits, vegtables & yogurt. I love cheese as well.
Love sweets especially milk chocolate but I cut back recently even over halloween. I've eaten a balance of chicken, fish, pork, beef, lamb since living with him (over these 6 months definately). I do eat fast food every now and then, and I eat fat more often than not instead of cutting it off my meat because I have high energy demands that carbs/sugars can't satisfy alone. I am within the proper weight range for my height.
I have some stress, but it's conditional not an every day all day thing and for most of the past 6mos the stress was very minimal. I calm down immediately listening to music and playing with my dog. I sleep 4-6 hours night with a nap in-between this is my norm. I can not sleep 8 hours in a night unless under sedation/sleeping pills since I feel rested with my 4-6 I do not see them as necessary.

That sound like everything that could affect fertility? I see myself as normal... guess the birthcontrol pill is to blame for such rotten luck? But then it amazes me when I hear about women who've gotten pregnant, sometimes multiple times, on different types of hormonal birth control! That's so unfair I haven't even been taking them long and consistently until we discovered the endometriosis in 2011. They were prescribed only to help control the pain & it worked.View Thread

Posted by An_247889

My wife and I have been together for almost 8 years, almost two of them married. Over that time we have had our obstacles both personally and in our relationship. We have started and operate two successful businesses which take a lot of our time, but we still make time for us. We spend much of our time together, we both work out of the house in the same office. It's great, we are very much in love and fall further in daily.

Recently, we have decided that now is the time to have a baby. Personally, I have been observing fiends and family with their children, particularly the guys. They seems to have so much fun with their kids, there is so much love. I have been feeling that I want to feel that for my child. I am totally on board.

We have unprotected sex all the time, I was thinking that one of these baby batches would catch somewhere...Hasn't happened. We bought the fertility sticks, and now I'm having issues? She got a smiley face, game on...right?

We started trying yesterday morning... We get into it, all hot and heavy, we're both loving it, and all of a sudden "he" goes down... What is wrong here.. this hasn't happened before... Sometimes during the day, I cannot perform for whatever reason, I cannot... So we chalked it up to that and went about our normal Sunday together.

After shopping and housework, we decided to watch a movie. We were all cuddled up on the couch, the movie ended, and we decided to move it into the bedroom. I gave her an amazing massage, she loves when I do that, and I enjoy doing it myself because I know she likes it so much. Then we went into some more foreplay, then it was time... No dice... Once again, this has never happened... I found myself positioned over her like a porn star who just finished...but I never got started. I dont know what is wrong with me. She got really upset and walked away.

After talking in our den for a while about the situation, and how we both want a baby, we decided to go to bed, but if I wanted to try, I could. While in bed, I found myself rubbing and caressing her all over. I felt very stimulated, but no action downstairs... Just call it a day...

This morning we woke up and started talking about this weekend, and how it's on me, and how it's all in my head, and she's just waiting for me... I know this is true, but I don't get it. I've never had this problem (unless im drinking whiskey...but they've got a name for that) ,so what the he*l.

We tried again, and nothing, I can get him up and keep him up, but about two minutes into it, he goes down. This is so depressing. I think it's all about the child anxiety. But I feel so ready. I want a kid. We want a kid. I wish I had answers...

We decided to take the rest of the day off when she gets back from a meeting, it's day two of a two day window... We'll see. Wish me luck.View Thread
