We're pregnant!

I am three years older than my husband. We met when I was 27 and he was 24. We married 4.5 months after meeting because we knew we were each other's soulmates. Early in our relationship I told him that I wanted to start having kids as soon as possible because I felt that my hormones were changing. The consistency of my periods was a little odd (color, moisture, ect.). Of course, my husband being a young buck told me not to worry because we were both young and healthy. So I held off on pushing the issue until one of my long time girlfriends who was in the same track of life that I was in (a few years into her career but ready to start a family) told me she was pregnant. This made me want to also start trying so I told my husband and he hesitated. Because he is younger than me, he wanted to get his feet a little more wet in his career space. Finally after some convincing, I told him that it can't hurt to at least try. When we didn't get pregnant right away, I know he started to feel a little regret and worry. We had been trying for 9 mos. with no success. We even went to an infertility seminar and were scheduled to see fertility specialists this Monday. I too, like some of the other story submitters, have spent a small fortune on pregnancy tests. After so many negatives over the last year, I was in disbelief to see two lines this past week. I had to take 4 take home tests just to convince my self that this is really happening!!! My breasts are a little tender but I think the first few symptons (aside from not starting my period because I was irregular anyway) were fatigue, difficulty focusing and what seemed like a stomach flu about to begin. For everyone TTC, don't lose hope!!!

An unknown blessing

I met my husband 4 years ago and he decided not to have any more children because he already has 3 and I was heartbroken. Over the past year we have been trying and nothing is happening. I am worried and I know that if I don't calm down I will never have one.

Filled with fear

My husband and I experienced our first pregnancy and misscarriage this past summer. It was devastating. It was complicated, as I had to take a medication to induce labor, the doctors said I would be fine, but ended up with an infection in my uterus. We have been praying for healing and peace since then, and of course, for good news. Last night I tested, honestly not expecting to be as I did not feel pregnant. I tested positive! I thought I would be so happy, but all the worry and anxiety just came flooding back. I haven't even really processed that this could end in a healthy baby, but more worried about when the miscarriage will happen. I know that God desires good for our lives, and that our desire for children comes from Him, but I am still swamped with worry.

Trying...but nothing

My husband & have been trying to fall pregnant for only about 3 months now and every month we get negative results. I have not been on any contraceptives for about 4years so I don't see why I can not fall pregnant, I am too scared to even go to my GP as I am scared of bad news even though there is no history of anyone in the family that has ever battled to fall pregnant or any complications...
I have tried the mucus story this month so we are waiting patiently for the time that I should come on to see if I skip...but if its negative once again, what does anyone suggest I do?????

Please Help

Ok I am writing this story because I am so confused at the moment and I really would like opinions PLEASE! Ok well I am almost 4 weeks late for my period now and I did have unprotected sex on the 30th of September which was exactly 2 weeks after my last period and I haven't since got a period at all. So really I have missed one which was due 2 weeks after contreception and I am meant to get one this friday 10/11/06. I did have spot belleding about 4 days ago and it lasted for 2 days and now nothing. I don't really have sore boobs although i am still breastfeeding my 2 year old and when he feeds it can be painful sometimes. I do have a little bit of nausea here and there and I feel sooo bloated! I have done 2 home pregnancy tests but both told me Negative so I am very confused. Could anyone please help me here. I am thinking if unprotected sex happened 5 weeks ago it would really only make me about 3 weeks pregnant if I am is that right?
