25YrsOld- TTC#1 for 5 Yrs.

[Jojo1211]

Hello there mama’s and mama hopefuls. I have been TTC with DH for a while now and feel a little desperate. I need some outside encouragement and a friend really. I work from home and am earning my Bachelors in Elementary Education from home so I do not get out very much and have virtually no friends outside of my family. Ill give as short of a Bio as I can but I am really looking for someone who is tic #1 like myself, I really need a buddy, LOL.

My hubby and I starting dating in middle school and became inseparable ever since. We got married when I was 16 in 2007. That same year a dr said I most likely had PCOS because of irregular periods all my life and other various symptoms. She put me on Metform to regulate them, which did for a time. The side effects seemed worse then the reason for taking it so I stopped after about a year. Following this we were not really preventing any pregnancies but we were not medically trying either. Since I hit the age of 20, I have really been ttc. In fall of 2014 I went to a new dr in our new home. She was wonderful. She said that my weight was not the factor and had all the confidence in the world she was going to help up get pregnant.

I went through numerous hormone blood work, ultra sounds, and a very painful HSG. She concluded that I was not dealing necessarily with PCOS but rather Anovulation. Since this discovery, Jan 2015, she put me on a single round of Clomid 50mg following blood work through that cycle. BFN. We tried again with the same thing but with Progesterone thrown in the mix around days 16-31. She said this was a good recipe for me and even though I got a BFN from that round, she gave me another 6 rounds and told me to take them all or call when I get pregnant. I thought, wow this has to work right? Well, I do get moody on the Clomid, so after the first 3 rounds out of the 6, I decided to take a month off and let my body be natural for a while. After loosing a family member that same month, we took an even longer break. I decided to start back and try one more time in October, but that was also a BFN. After so many BFN from Clomid I was feeling defeated and hopeless, so I decided to take a longer break, especially because the holidays were coming up, Thanksgiving Christmas New Year, followed by DH birthday is a lot on its own, let alone ttc.

So, the other day I decided to call my dr and see if she would call in some Provera for me because I am 2 weeks late with a BFN and really want to jump back on the Clomid train and finish the last 2 doses I have. Well to my utter shock and horror, my dr retired from practicing and is now the medical director at the hospital. Can you say let out the water works? I loved this dr. She was the first and only to make me feel like motherhood was a real possibility. After debating what to do, I decided to schedule an apt with her colleges at the practice and I am going to next Tuesday, 02/09/16. The hope is that she will give me the Provera to wake up the ovaries down there and get AF to come visit. If the two last Clomids with Progesterone fail, my former dr had said she would refer me to the infertility clinic that performs all the IVF’s etc.

Now, I know that not ovulating is a huge factor with fertility issues. DH has taken a semen analysis as well last year. It came back ok, not great not bad, just ok. The count was slightly low and the morphology was not perfect, but I guess it could be worse. So, as of right now, we are in limbo. The fever is strong and all my family talks about is us having babies. DH is the only male of his family with the name, so for him he HAS to have a boy to carry the name, my mother does not ave any grandchildren yet and is more anxious then I am I think, my mother in law does have 2 grandchildren however the relationship is less then perfect with them and wants grand babies she can actually be a grandmother to. Me, well of course I want to provide all this to them, but the stress is suffocating sometimes.

Actively TTC #1 since 2011, Prescribed Clomid 50mg CD2-CD6 03/2015, Added Progesterone (200mg) in April. BFN on 6 rounds of Clomid.
Took a Break from 9/15-2/16. Getting Ready to Start New Clomid 02/16. Need a TTC #1 buddy. Also on a mission to loose weight (current 232lbs) Goal is 130lbs​

Hi!!!!!!!
I am so happy I found you! I am also 25 and TTC#1. Although not as long as you have. I have been married for 2 years (but have been with my DH for 4 years in total). I ...don't even know where to start haha. We stopped using protection last year, but have not actively started TTC until last month. I have always had super irregular periods...but all of my lab works have been "normal" they attribute the irregular cycles to me being overweight (but I've lost weight in the past before and this had no effect on my cycles). I am also trying to lose weight and make overall better choices (nutritionally and physically) to help me on this journey.....I am currently ovulating, I had some spotting which I have read could be an indicator of fertility. But I guess it's the waiting now. I must admit I am pretty excited and would be supper bummed out if I end up with a BFN in a few weeks. A buddy would sure be helpful !
