Grab a test! (For anyone wondering if they're pregnant)
in Pregnancy ·
Hey ladies, I was just scrolling through... and somehow stumbled upon this group, so since I'm already here, I figured I'd share my little sob story:
So, here's the deal: my husband and I have been talking about this for ages, and we finally pulled the trigger on January 1st. Being the eternal optimist that I am, I was fully expecting to be pregnant by the fall, but clearly, life had other plans. It’s been six months now—nothing. Just a mountain of pregnancy tests and pure disappointment behind us. The thing is, I have PCOS, and I could never touch birth control because my platelet levels were always a mess back in high school. My periods have never been regular, either. My Pap smear came back fine, and my hormone levels seem okay too. My doctor told me that since I can't really pin down my ovulation window, we basically need to have sex every third day. We've tried... nothing. We even went through a phase where we were trying three times a day—which, let's be real, was exhausting—and still, zilch. Now I'm just sitting here wondering: what the hell am I doing wrong? Everyone keeps telling me to just be patient, but honestly, that doesn't help much when you're feeling like this...
