my fiance have been TTC for 9 months, and we decided to give up yesterday. im 6 days late for AF but every HPT i take says negative. i used to rarely have a period, maybe 3 or 4 a year (i think thats pcos? i have cysts in my right ovary) i started having AF every month about 10 months ago. i know i ovulated this month, but for some reason, no AF, no pregnancy symptoms, and negative HPT’s.

my fiance is sad that i dont want to try anymore. but i cant take the heart break of trying and not succeeding. i feel like its my fault we aren’t conceiving. he says its just not our time, but i dont believe it. he’s not the first man i’ve tried with, and i’ve failed with everyone. i get my hopes up, only to have them crushed. i already have depression, which actually went away when we first started trying, up until about 3 months ago when it came back again because we still haven’t gotten pregnant.

hey, im 17 and 20 weeks pregnant. i finished school but cannot go to school, im going to try next year depending on the costs as me and my boyfriend can’t afford expensive child care and the deposits are expensive. I decided to keep our child but recently have been depressed and found myself crying non stop during the day. i feel as though i havent done enough with myself as i could have done if i hadnt got pregnant and i also feel guilty for feeling like this. is there any way i could help make myself feel better?
this was an unplanned pregnancy and protection was used – and i wont be having an abortion

I had a miscarriage(my first pregnancy) back in February and I’m not sure I have been able to grieve properly. It wasn’t so bad right after as I pretty much just stuffed it away and never talked about it. But it’s been getting worse over time with this past month being so awful: I cry all the time, I’m always angry, I don’t sleep well. I’ve wanted to try to talk to someone, but my husband doesn’t want to as he sees it as over and done with and thinks it shouldn’t be issue anymore. I don’t feel comfortable talking to my mother about it. My two best friends live on the other side of the country and it seems like they’ve been trying to avoid talking to me ever since I told them I miscarried. One of them had a baby in June and everyone’s been all worried about her because she has postpartum depression. But does anyone think to ask me if I’m okay? I’m the one whose baby died, and yet no one cares. And it seems like every time I turn around someone else I know is pregnant. It makes me so angry and I hate everyone and I just can’t take this anymore.

Why do they need to know how many sexual partners I have had in my life, or if I’ve ever had a miscarriage or suffered from depression or if I have ever been abused….I hate writing private things down and it really ticks me off.

For the past few days I have not had an appetite at all. I don’t eat much now…one meal a day, and some days nothing at all. I am drinking water and taking a prenatal vitamin because I am breastfeeding.
I have been dealing with postpartum depression and I am thinking that maybe this is the reason why I am not hungry?

However, today I have been extremely tired and dizzy and have a terrible headache…
What’s going on with me?

i am 4 months pregnant and a month ago, i overdosed on sleeping pills because of depression.the sleeping pills was a prescribed by my psychiatrist.when i was at the hospital, blood tests show that i have low level of potassium.could my pregnancy, depression & anxiety and low potassium level be somehow interrelated?
