Oh huni!!! I was hoping you'd have had some news.

I think moving your appointment is a good idea - don't be nervous hun
It will help when you're getting the help you need (sometimes just discussing it with a professional fertility person helps) xxxx

 

[Jannah K]

Hi girls
Got the result...no ovulation hence long cycle...gynae didn't want to induce period as I m referred to fertility center n first appt next week...if I don't have period by than they will most likely induce it and will be put on something to start ovulating...little sad and nervous....
I don't have pcos..not overweight...dunno why irregular cycles...stress? But everyone has stress in life lol
I have been on clomid 3 times on min dose and did ovulate based on opk which I don't trust so this time I will go on follicle ultrasound....I might even try Femara instead of clomid as I hated the side effects...this time with clomid or Femara I will try SMEP as well...
Tatemp when is your next appt to discuss next steps....
I asked oh to accompany me next week but he said he got work

 

[Phoenix82]

Oh huni - boo!!!

That explains the long cycle but they need to help get your body on track which I'm sure they well.

I used a fertility monitor as it picked up 2 hormones so is more accurate.
I'm sure the clinic will help and give you options, it a good step, they are the best people to help you get a plan in place.

Oh has to work! He needs to be there, my clinic said the oh had to come, you'll need his support xxxx

 

[Nanninoo]

Jannah at least you know now and have results! I didn't ovulate and had long cycles that lasted 45+ days long so if they do follicle tracking scan least they can monitor you and try you on another ovulation stimulation hormone x

 

[Jannah K]

Nanino what did doc say about irregular cycle..what caused it...so your pregnancies in 2009 & 2011 were natural no meds?
If I decide not to go on meds will it mean I cannot conceive naturally...does irregular cycle always mean no ovulation?
Why is it that no one talks about it when you are younger...
My oh is like how it it possible u didn't ovulate when they saw two eggs and I said it is possible they didn't mature enough to release in my tubes hence no o and no pregnancy...I also said I m tired of stressing over fertile window when I keep getting positive opks every week...at least ultrasound will tell exactly when I will release egg...

 

[Jannah K]

I know people have it worst...I thought h maybe problem due to smoking and diabetes but I was wrong...I feel like first time in life I have a health problem and it's worst because it affects you as a couple...will I get preggo or there is more to this o thing? So nervous...1week to go...

 

[Nanninoo]

Jannah my doc said my problem was due to being overweight but I lost the weight and they still gave the clomid as I still wasn't ovulating...the clomid made me ovulate and regulated my cycles! 2009 pregnancy was natural took me 18 months to conceive but miscarried at 11 weeks into the pregnancy, 2011 pregnancy was due to clomid but again I miscarried at 9 weeks, my third pregnancy was clomid and resulted in a healthy baby my miracle 2yr old son and this is my 4th pregnancy due to clomid and so far baby is doing good!
If you decide no meds and your not ovulating then your chances are slim but it doesn't mean you won't conceive as I did naturally but took me 18 months with irregular cycles! I do recommended you have meds so then you know your ovulating and have a much more greater chance on catching that egg! Yes I agree fertile window is stressful using opk's as they are not gaurentee but follicle tracking scans are better as they tel you how mature your follicles are and when to bd x

 

[Jannah K]

Thanks nanino..anxiously waiting for my appt...no af yet

 

[Nanninoo]

Good luck at your appt jannah you'll be fine hunny! Follicle tracking helped me to conceive both times I was ovulating on days I didn't think I was, on one cycle i had follicle tracking they told me I was ovulating on cd11 and the other time I had the follicle check I was ovulating on cd18 so every month we ovulate on different cycle days and it's just finding out what days to actually bd on and get the greater chance of conceiving X

 

[Jannah K]

That's good. To know. Thanks...
Since my blood report n oh not willing to come to my appt....have been quiet n keeping myself occupied n not talking to oh much...last night oh asked if I started my period yet..I said no and that it may have to be induced next week...than he questioned me if I never ovulated n if I had irregular cycles...to be honest until I didn't get married I didn't notice much plus I was always told if u have period every month it is good...I felt like he thinks I hide this from him before marriage...I had to say few times I noticed this after marriage after we got sexually active after I turned 30...he didn't agree with me...I was like so upset...I said to him that's why I don't share with u coz u don't even know to provide emotional support n I just decided to go to sleep n than he decided to bd....Is it my oh or men in general don't know how to say few words to make u feel like they r there with u no matter what? Mind u my husband is a man of few words...so yeah now bd concept maybe kicking in when I. Initially took clomid I had. To beg him to time it..it was so stressful and we didn't bd more than 1...
Anyways had to share this with u girls otherwise I feel like I will get depressed more than I can handle...

Oh huni

I can understand you must be so fed up. I was always told that as long as AF shows you are fine which is obviously not strictly true.

Nanninoo is right, tracking your cycle takes the guess work out of it AND you can pin point your egg better. You need to speak to oh to explain that he will need to perform when necessary during that time otherwise there is mo point you putting yourself through the stress.

You will get your turn, I'm sure of it, it's just a matter of timing.

We are always here for you hun no matter what xxx

 

[Nanninoo]

Jannah I can totally relate with you....I think it's a 'man thing' my oh wasn't performing when I wanted him to during the most fertile window that's why I think I didn't conceive in my first two cycles of clomid his excuses were I'm tired or I can't be bothered I was stressing so much and had so many arguments about it with him sometimes men just don't grasp the importantness of timing they have such a laid back approach it's unreal! My oh also didn't attend any appointments I had to go with my Aunty and my 2 year old son I even had to drop his seman analysis off as he wouldn't do it but he did attend all my ultrasounds though x

 

[Tatemp]

Hi girls,

My bloodwork showed that I did ovulate last cycle, we probably missed it during follicle tracking. Probably on CD 12 or 13.

I also fall just outside the range of a good ovarian reserve. So I have to have some more bloodwork done to confirm this. If further tests also come out low, they are going to consider some form of insemination. I have to wait until CD 2 or 3 to get the bloodwork done. I am now CD15, so have a lot of waiting to do.

Ultrasound on CD 12 did show there was a nice big follicle ready to pop. So fingers crossed, maybe no more bloodwork is needed.
