27 and TTC #1

[arpeters]

Hello Everyone,

This is a neat little area for all of us trying to conceive baby number 1. I am currently 3dpo on cycle 6. I hope everyone gets their this cycle!! Good luck!

Hi, arpeters! I'll be 27 in April and ttc #1 as well! I'm on my 4th cycle, but they're relatively long and had a super long one in November, so it feels like it's been a lot more than 4 cycles. About 12dpo... we'll see what happens this weekend.

Hi Ladies,
I hope you don't mind if I join your thread. I'm 27 as well, and my hubby and I are going to start TTC in June (only 2 months away. wow).

Hi, lu-is! Join us!

Are you going to do anything to get yourself ready for ttc? I didn't, but I know some people start taking vitamins and stuff. I was taking B-complex my last couple cycles but stopped and need to start again.

Hi arpeters! Seen you in a few other threads. I'll be 29 in 3 weeks (Yikes!!!) not sure the cycle (PCOS with very long and mostly anovulatory cycles) but we're on month 16 and just know we're getting closer to our BFP the more we try.

We just started using Preseed (a TTC friendly lube) and I chart like a crazy person. Also, I started with soy iso (same effect as clomid apparently) and EPO (evening primrose oil - helps with CM and toning uterus for implantation). AND prenatals and folic acid (as prescribed by our RE - fertility specialist).

I've thought about getting Preseed. Heard fantastic things about it.

hi ladies i am 27 and ttc no1 we have been trying for 14 months now cant believe so many of us are 27 hopefully its a lucky number

 

[Trixiebell]

I'm 27, 28 in July and we are on our third month of ttc, I'm hoping it's third time lucky but it's so difficult to stay positive after feling rubbish when I 'thought' I might have been the previous two months.

Sending lots of to you all.

Hi everyone!!

I'm 27 as well. OH will be 33 in April. This is our first month TTC and we have our fingers crossed for a short journey. We're getting married in June and would love to get our BFP by our honeymoon!

Right now we're more NTNP...I am temping but only because I want to ensure I am ovulating since I've been on BC for 11 years. We plan to start officially TTC if we don't get our BFP within 6 months. I bought a pack of OPKs but the plan is to not use them until we're actually TTC.

Hey there Stash - Where in CA are you located? How did you determine you had PCOS? I just came off BC (Mirena IUD) 3/4/11 but I've thought for a while now that I may have PCOS or some other thyroid problem. I've had my thyroid checked twice with no problems though...

Hi ladies, I am also 27 and this will be our 10th month ttc #1. Starting to go a little crazy now, I can't believe we naively thought that it would happen 1st or 2nd cycle! We have tried lots of things to help (Maca, vits, softcups, conceive plus, charting, opks, etc etc) and now trying soy for the second month in an attempt to bring my ovulation on a bit sooner. Good luck to all, hope we get those BFP's soon!

hi, im also 27 and on my 2nd cycle, had my implant removed just over 2 months ago and af appears to be a bit crazy at the moment but hopefully we have all had our last for until next year

I'm 27 and my DH is 29. I went off the pill last August. We're on cycle 6 of TTC. (I have very long cycles) I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last month and I am on synthroid now. (I hope it helps!) I temp and use OPKs. on CD 19 now with no ovulation yet.

Hoping we all get our BFPs soon! Lots of baby dust to all!

Hey girls I'm 28 and also ttc#1. I'm currently 10dpo and in my 3rd tww. Good luck to everyone and lots of

 

[arpeters]

Wow! So many wonderful people in this thread. Hello everyone!!!

My DH is 29. This is our 6th cycle. My cycle runs about 30-34 days every month with one cycle that was 44 days

I have tried almost everything. lol. Preseed, OPK, SMEP method, Temping, Checking cervical mucus and position, Instead Cups, B-Vitamins, Prenatal Vitamins, Evening Primrose Oil, SOY, Clomid, Eating pineapple after OV, Drinking grapefruit juice and we both gave up caffeine. I haven't done all of these in the same month, but scattered throughout the past 6 months. Next month i get clomid again, but I am hoping I wont need it.

Good luck to everyone!!! I look forward to chatting with all and getting to know your journeys.

Hey everyone! This is the first time I've ever written in a forum, but I'm always searching for things, reading everyone else's posts and thought it was time I post some of my own questions.

We're on month #8... I'm on Clomid 100 mg. this cycle and it's cd 18 and still no + opk or temp shift

I'm so confused because I had crazy "ovulation" pains on days 13-16 and a little day 17 and today... needless to say I'm so confused. Getting bfn's are heartbreaking, but when you don't ovulate and you don't get the chance to even hope, it make for a really long wait for the next trying time.

Thinking of trying an hcg trigger shot... does anyone have any experience with them?

Hi, lu-is! Join us!

Are you going to do anything to get yourself ready for ttc? I didn't, but I know some people start taking vitamins and stuff. I was taking B-complex my last couple cycles but stopped and need to start again.

I started taking some multivitamins and Folic acid recently.
I also had to get surgery last week to remove an ovarian cyst, so now I'm working on healing up as well (another reason I thought vitamins might be handy).

Hey Ladies
I am 27 too. We have been NTNP since December and have started to seriously TTC this month. I have PCOS and am currently taking metformin for this. We have recently started using preseed and I am hoping to start temping next month.
