I'm Scared. Can I Even GET Pregnant??

Tuesday, May 12, 2009
filed under: Meredith

I took the First Response fertility test on Saturday and I was an emotional wreck!

I got up in the morning ready to take the dreaded Fertility Test. My husband John was still bitter about the night before and my over-emotional tirade. He left to run errands -- leaving me all alone with the test I have been dreading for weeks! Crap!

With John nowhere to be found, and the fact that I didn't know what the outcome was going to be, I was an emotional wreck. OK -- admittedly I can be a crier. I cry during every "Baby Story," love story, "Grey's Anatomy," and just about everything that tugs at your heartstrings just a little. This time it was different -- I was scared.

Meredith, I think your crying is hampering your fertility. Seriously..as they say in Grey’s Anatomy. You need to relax. This added stress, specially for a test you don’t need (you are too young to test whether you are entering menopause — that’s really what that test is). Once you see that you are ovulating. Take a few hours to yourself and pamper yourself to things that make you relax. Perhaps sleep more. Just stop stressing your body because it will hamper your efforts. Please stop arguing with the hubby too. That’s another stress point. you need to chill. Let’s stuff go over your head if you need to. You will see that it will happen. Good luck.

Gigohead, You are right! I really need to stop stressing out and enjoy the process. I’m not a cry baby…OK lately I have been a little bit of a cry baby. This whole process is just so emotionally draining. I hate that I am arguing with my husband, as he really does not deserve to be on the recieveing end of my emotional rants. I will try to relax and be nicer. Thanks for your comment!

Everyone always say to relax and not stress, but coming from someone who’s had a miscarriage and been trying ever since (almost a year), it’s not easy…I want to relax, and I try, but still nothing…any advice?

Anonymous…I get the same advice. RELAX! Like you, I try very hard to relax and enjoy the process. It is a struggle to keep my nerves, emotions and stress in check. The only advice I can give you, that I have been trying to follow is to enjoy the process. Don’t have sex to make a baby, make love with your partner because you are in love. I think once we both “let go”, we will both be blessed with a baby. Best of Luck!

Seeing you so emotional is far too familiar, during a time in my life of trying to get pregnant. I know the pain of wanting something so precious so badly and not knowing if it will come. Let me tell you that it came for me, but only after many days of crying, arguments, 2 miscarrages, fertility testing, and after a lot of pressure on my husband. If I could go back I would not have stressed so much and it may have came sooner. You really need to enjoy life with your husband and love to make love with him. I know its hard not to think about making a baby every time, but the times I did get pregnant, it was times that we were truely not trying. People say that and I didnt believe it, but it happened to me. I think the more relaxed you are the more chances it can work. You will be so glad you took the time to enjoy life while trying to conceive. Especially when you are holding your beautiful little one.

Meredith be thankful you did get Pregnant. Your like most women who are prograam to think you have to have a baby. What is so great about a yelling, screamingm shitten baby??? Use birth control and learn to use that pus for your mans and your pleasure and fun. Better yet get spaded so you don’t have any mistakes by accident.
