10th cycle of TTC first with all testing coming back clear- anyone else??

[spiritbear]

Hi there! Is anyone in a similar situation: trying to conceive our first... this is our 10th month (ovulated today). We did all of our testing already since we had 2 CP and I wanted to get everything checked out just in case and everything came back just fine. I'm glad the testing came back fine, but it sure is hard to be patient.

It's becoming hard to believe that it will ever happen (although I know many others wait much much longer).

Hi
We are in our 12th cycle. Bdding every other day, on tons of supplements, exercise, dairy free, mostly carb free, and caffeine free. Dont smoke, casually drink wine. Use pre seed, conceive plus and soft cups, and still nothing. My bloods came back normal except for low progesterone. I retested my progesterone at my job and found that the first month seemed to be a wacky month and confirmed that I did ovulate the last 2 cycles. I also use opks and get multiple spikes a month. My tranvaginal us was clear, no pcos, but slightly thin endometrium. Hubbys sa was normal, but viscous. Have another appt on Friday which will probably be me scheduling a hcg. Believe me you are not alone. I am 35 and hubby 44. Maybe we waited too long, maybe we are just being impatient? I too just wish I saw the finish line.....

Hi spiritbear :wave:

I'm 35 (turning 36 in May) while DH is 37 and TTCing #1. We're currently at the end of our 17th cycle, soon going on to our 18th My CD3 hormones came back normal for my age, my US showed nothing abnormal with a good endometrium thickness and confirmed I O as well, my HSG showed both tubes are wide open, DH has normal SA although it's on the lower end so nothing really wrong with any of us. We try to BD every 1½-2 days starting right after AF stops until I'm 100% sure I've Oed and I've been using Preseed/Conceive Plus the last 3-4 months to help as I was becoming unsure if my watery CM is abundant and good enough None of us smoke. I drink maybe 2-3 glasses of wine in a month if that (mostly during AF) while DH has kept his drinking at an ok level. I drink little caffeine and DH has cut down his coffee intake months ago. I'm currently taking pregnancy vitamins (they don't sell prenatal ones in Denmark), Omega-3 with Q10 in them and extra Vit C and D (upped my dose to 500mg and 35 mg respectively based on our RE's recommendation). DH is just taking regular adult vitamins.

We had 1 CP back in April during our 7th cycle but nothing since We'll see with this cycle but I doubt it Next cycle we'll be starting IUI and our RE seems very optimistic about our chances (really nice lady by the way) but I still have my doubts sometimes I think when it starts taking much longer than expected, it's normal to have doubts if it'll ever happen. But it happened once for me so I'm trying to be positive and reason that it could happen again but sometimes it's hard Especially when I see ladies my age or a bit older on this forum get their sticky BFPs in a much shorter time frame than 17 cycles Luckily I have a positive, optimistic DH that helps to keep me going on those days I'm upset or doubtful of our chances of ever getting our baby

I just wish that BFP would show up as well

Helllooo! I am sorry for your CP's, I had one this past cycle as well, confirmed by blood work.

Anyway, I am just like you that DH and I both got tested to cover our bases after a few unsuccessful months and our results came back normal. My testosterone level was .4 higher than normal, so I am taking Riomet (liquid version of Metformin) to lower my levels a bit. Other than that, my regular FSH & progesterone were normal... DH's SA was normal. If we don't succeed this cycle, I will be scheduling an HSG to see if there's any blockage is my fallopian tubes.

We have done EVERYTHING it seems like. BD'd every other day, PreSeed, Softcups, OPKs, tracking BBT & cervical fluid, Pineapple core, etc. We don't smoke, rarely ever drink... I'm trying to lose weight by exercising and eating healthier. It's just a big waiting game, a frustrating one at that since I'm so impatient.

Hoping we all get our long awaited BFPs soon!

I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully soon for us! I had an hsg last month. Some says it increases fertility for a few months after so that's a plus!

Hopefully your HSG will prove right and have a sticky bean!

Hopefully your HSG will prove right and have a sticky bean!

Thank you! We will see If it's not this month we will try Fermera with trigger shot next month... I hope that this is your month too!!!
