Implantation or Period? I'm beginning to give up..

[annamicha]

Hello everyone. I'm very new to these forums and I'm hoping to get some kind of secondary answers here.

I'm 26. My husband and I have been trying to conceive (which I'm assuming the abbreviation is ttc) since June 2010. We've had no such luck. My periods are totally off. I did not get a period in July 2010 or September 2010. I was pretty normal from October 2010 to the present date...hopefully...periods averaging to every 34 days. Oct. 2, Nov. 6, Dec. 8, Jan. 12 - following this structure I should receive my period February 15. I've been attacking my husband lol - sexually ever since I finished my last menstrual cycle. I think I've made him sick of sex! haha I've been hungrier then normal, gained about 3 lbs, visiting the little girls room quite a bit more then what I'm use to. Today I started bleeding...not too much just a little bit of reddish/pinkish brown, I have period cramps but not as bad as they normally are. I don't know what to think. I'm afraid to even think of taking a pregnancy test because of the negative possibility. I'm almost ready to just give up, not being able to get pregnant has really put me down. There are no fertility issues in my family - knock on wood that I don't start the new trend.

I don't know about others on this forum, but it's sad that younger girls not expecting to become mothers become pregnant instantly...but others such as myself have such difficulty.

Any thoughts or advice from anyone?

Thanks very much.

I would wait to test - it does sound like a period starting. My cycles were 32 days so that isn't worrisome to have a longer cycle unless it is well over 48 days or so. Because you are TTC (yes, correct abbrev, good job) I would go get a physical and get checked out, let the doctor know you want to start a family but are having a hard time. They can run some tests to see if your body is alright.

I also want to mention that your husband should maybe get a sperm analysis. If fertility problems don't run in your family it could be possible that the issue lies with him. I wouldn't bring that up to him just yet (can be hard on some men to think that his boys aren't doing their job). Go get your physical and see what the doctor says. The doctor may also suggest your husband get checked out just to be sure!

Also....I have a regurgitating feeling in my stomach and my throat but don't feel the need to run off to the washroom and dispose of the contents in my tummy.

I've never been so frustrated.
