I haven't been on here in a while. Tonight I have a little bit of anxiety. A lot of you have read my previous posts about my three failed pregnancies. My last pregnancy was in January and ended up being a tubal. I was given a shot of methotrexate to disolve the egg and it took until March for my hormone levels to go back to normal. Prior to the tubal I had no trouble getting pregnant. Now, it seems that I can't get pregnant. And I want to know why. My doctor doesn't think there is anything wrong. Maybe it's just my anxious nature that makes me want to know for sure.

Then I find myself often thinking about the things I do and how I might be jinxing myself, or that God is watching me and if I do something wrong he's going to think I'm not ready or worthy. Does anyone else do this?

I know that I am under some stress. My grandma passed away at the beginning of this month. She and I were close so it has been really hard for me. I really miss her.

Any advice?

time time time and patience...give yourself a little healing time and understanding like you would your best friend....you have two losses to adjust to and hormones that are running amuck...breath and let yourself off the hook as much as you can..do the relax cd.Blessings...

I'm guessing that the anxiety has a lot to do with it, it wreaks havoc on our bodies. Prior to my panic attacks and anxiety, I got pregnant if I was in the same room with my husband

While we are not "trying" per se now, we are not really trying not to, either, and I've yet to get pregnant. I'm chalking it up to an anxious body...try tor elax and not think about it, just kind of let it happen.

Maybe this will help? I tried to get pregnant for 2 years after marriage, the doctors kept telling me I was fine and should be able to conceive. So my husband went to a urologist to be checked. Sure enough he had low sperm count. They did an outpatient proceedure called a Varacousseal(spelling?). 4 months later we were pregnant. Just thought Id share this in case it might help.

Just had to post, lol. After re-reading my 8/1 post, forgot to knock on wood, and just learned baby #3 is on the way

So there you go, don't think about it and poof! It happens...

PS--Lizzy, so sorry about your grandmother. Rest assured she is holding the baby you will have right now!

Tara,
Congratulations!!!!!! Thats wonderful!!
I wish you and your hubby the very best, and a happy healthy "new" baby!!!! take care Nelly

Thanks, Nelly Still adjusting to the shock, but should be fun

Firstly Congradulations! That's what everyone keeps saying, don't think about it and it will happen. I've done pretty well with that this month...I didn't do the ovulation test and I am not really hopeful that I'm pregnant this month. I'm really keeping focused on my upcoming vacation in September!

Secondly, thank you for your kind words about my grandma. I certianly hope she is up there looking down on me with my baby in her arms. She just needs to quit being selfish and give it to me :-)

Well I really hope you are pregnant, or will be soon. Trust me, as "not careful" as I was being it really did not seem to me that I'd get pregnant again, it's been 4 years! I agree that Grandma needs to let the baby go and come to you now!

Lizzy b, I know stress and anxiety causes many problems in our body. To make a long story short-- I tried 2 solid years, on clomid for 6 months without getting pregnant. I was sitting at my desk one day at work ( i worked in a doctors office and took pregnancy test almost weekly) I realized God will give me a baby when it is his timing not mine, and I guess I realized my timing, my fertility drugs are not bigger than God. He will answer your prayers and I know you will be a mother soon. I will pray for you.

So did you ever become a mom?
