29 ttc#1 14 months, wanting a buddy!

[Hena]

Thanks Hena. I'm exactly right on the dates, heard the heartbeat, it was amazing

I'm SO excited for you!!!! A heartbeat! It almost brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it! Congratulations, Coco!!! So happy everything looks good! You'll have your little before you know it!

 

[Hena]

Hey Hena!

Thanks for the welcome! I am just at the end of my 2ww! this is my first one since the mc so I am really nervous. I have stupidly been convincing myself that this is my month, so DH is worried about how I will cope if it is a BFN.
My cycles are on average about 35 days and this month I have not been tracking in any way, so I am not sure when (and even if) I ovulated.

How long have you been ttc Hena?

xx
Fingers crossed! I may do a sneaky test tomorrow as the waiting is driving me craaaazzzzyyyyy!!

My fingers are crossed for you, pink! Be sure to let us know if you cave and do a test today, hehe. I was 100% sure last cycle, just knew I was pregnant. DH was too....so the bfns followed by a VERY late AF just crushed me. But three days later with the help of my amazing husband Nico I bounced back. You will too even if you don't get the news you want this time around. But I hope you do!!!!!!!

I'm a relative newbie here, 29 and just started ttc in January, so this is cycle 6 for me. I went to the doctor before we started and she said despite my tiny tubes and super high, tilted cervix I shouldn't have a problem getting pg. but if we have no luck after 6 months to come back and she'll do a work-up on both of us. So if this month is another bfn we'll go together in July.

Hie ladies am new on this site though l opened it sometime last year. I felt so overwhelmed with the failures of ttc & could neither post nor share anything. I've just turned 29 and am ttc for #1. My Gyn has scheduled me to go for a lap as we have been in this ttc business for 12months. Am hoping that we'll make it soon

 

[Coco14]

Thank you Hena, It'll be you soon

hey all can I join you?

I am 29 and we had been ttc for 14 months too when I got my first BFP last Nov! It sadly ended in mmc and this is now my first 2ww since it has all happened. We found out that due to some epilepsy meds that DH was on, he had bad sperm motility and morphology. This has wasted 12 months of us ttc, but his meds are changed now and results are all good! It does feel like we are back at square one now, but we shall see where the ttc journey takes us.

Hope you don't mind me joining you!

Hey there Pinkflamingo! Sorry to hear of your loss... it must have been so frustrating to find out the meds were effecting your DH What CD are you on?

 

[Feb4th2011]

CD16 update. I'm feeling good. Ready to get the job done so to speak. My opks have been negative so far but I'm following SMEP religiously this month. I pray that I will one day I will look back on today as the day we conceive our bundle of joy.

I've been having such a hard time following the SMEP plan... Have you ever had a positive on an OPK? This is my first month using them and im getting negatives everyday.. and i test at 230 and 1030...

Thanks Hena. I'm exactly right on the dates, heard the heartbeat, it was amazing

That must have truly been amazing to hear the heartbeat!

[mmmuffin82]

Hey Sandra!

Very exciting update! CD17 and I got my positive OPK yesterday. It's silly bit I wanted to cry. Every cycle goes by and I feel defective because I can't get pregnant. Its refreshing to to see some good news for once.

I'm praying for your positive. Lots of love!

 

[Feb4th2011]

That's super fantastic muffin!!! I'm so jealous Mine will come soon!

I have a question for you ladies, last night and today I'm experiencing the egg white stringy CM... This is a sign of ovulation right? If yes... could this mean I'm ovulating right now? or is it coming soon? We DTD yesterday around supper (funny story in a minute) and will be again in ooo about 15 minutes

Funny Story: So we live in a fairly small place, it's one level, the kitchen and living room and connected, SMALL bathroom, 2 bedrooms ( one with a plastic almost accordion player look to it that slides across, and then a small room with no door) We are renting a cabin at the lake right now. ANYWAYS... we have our first guest visiting... and with this possible fertile CM... things are a bit tricky!!! Needless to say our place is NOT sound proof so we have been being sneaky!! I met Greg in the Garage where he parks his work truck for a quickie, while I had my girlfriend preparing the salad for our supper. I told her " o i have to grab something from the garage" then we both came back in 15 min later ( i demanded him to be fast) she looks at both of us and says " if you guys wanna (explicit word) i can run to the store next time" then continued to howl and make fun of us. We all got a good laugh, and Greg (red faced) couldn't even look her in the eyes. We're sending her to the store shortly

 

[dydos]

Thanks Muffin for the welcome am really starting to feel more settled I think l really need a lot of support last night l was so broken down & my hubby said that l may be taking this ttc thing too far. l don't spend a day without putting my mind on my failure to conceive over the past 12 months. I need you ladies more than ever at least you may understand how l feel about my journey to conceiving

To answer your question: Have sex every day until it goes away, that's baby baking cream!!!!

And your story: I literally laughed out loud, thanks SO much for sharing! She sounds like a good friend, and come on, you're still newlyweds! Poor Greg though, Nico would have been mortified too.

 

[Hena]

Muffin, congrats on the positive opk! Now catch that eggy!!!!!

Welcome dydos! Sorry you've been going through a rough patch, I hope the postive enegy here will help you relax and give you a place to vent when dh doesn't understand. Try not to think of needing more time as a failure. There are so many factors that have to be right to create a child, it's a wonder the world is so populated! Plus, the more you want it the harder it seems to be which is why everyone tells us to relax. I hope the doctor is able to give you some encouraging advice!

 

[Hena]

I'm CD 10, patiently waiting to ov but pretending every day is "it" just in case. Having an insane amount of fun, too We feel like newlyweds again, it's great! Nico even rearranged his schedule so he could spend last night at home between two conferences and he'll be back again late tonight instead of staying the night after today's conference. ttc is fun again!

Angel, how are you doing? I know the last disappointment was huge, I hope you've bounced back and are able to enjoy DH. Are you going to see what the doctor says about your cycles getting longer?

Hey Hena!
That's fantastic that you guys are having so much fun.

I usually keep my hubby out of the loop in terms of my cycle. I don't want to put too much pressure on him. This is my first month using OPKs and he knows exactly what's going on in my cycle. It has worked out even better! I guess I was wrong to keep him in the dark because he is so motivated knowing that know is the time to catch that egg. Whatever works for him!

Last night after some BDing, he dozed off and I got out of bed and propped my but on my exercise ball for a few minutes. He woke up and caught me 'in the act' so to speak. He laughed histerically, told me I look ridiculous and asked if I got this idea from all of you girls! Truth is that the ball just caught my eye and I thought it would be a good idea.

 

[Coco14]

Liking your funny stories girls! and glad you're having fun

Dydos, I'm sorry about your situation, I know it's tough. We tried for 21 months and my OH said the same of me and said he couldn't take much more of me being down. It's a difficult situation on everyone and I think we have to come to terms with the fact that the men just don't fully understand. Take care.

 

[angelluvbilly]

Hi ladies. Been awhile since I have been on. I have been working lots and haven't had the chance to get online. I am doing ok, af is gone and can't wait to try again. My temping is going well this month, so I should notice when I O. Gonna hold off on the doc for now and try and lose some weight. Gonna join weight watchers again and see if that helps me. I am excited. I gave up drinking coke. 8 days without it which is huge for me since I was an addict. Hope you all are doing great, and I will try and catch up more very soon.

 

[Feb4th2011]

Angel: W2G on skipping on the Coke! I too love pop, and have a hard time not drinking it as well... WW is awesome! I had success with that a few years back... I think I might join again too!

I love that story about the exercise ball Muffin. I put my legs in the air for 30 min after and my DH would think it's hilarious. Now he does it too and that's our time that we talk about how things will change when our lil one comes/names/strollers etc.

Today is CD 45, I'm pretty sure I ovulated a few days ago... and we did not get enough DTD in... Time will tell though... I was able to gt an appointment with my new DR on friday!! I'm pretty excited, she was not to arrive in town until july but I called to get an exact date and they said she was doing "meet the dr./patient" apt this week and they had 1 more opening the day we are heading back to the city! I'm nervous that I wont like her or that it;s just not the right fit... finding a Doctor that i'm ok having a look-see and my lady bits is kind of like finding a good pair of shoes... They have to fit perfectly.

I could really use some encouraging words right now ladies.... My very best friend in the world... we've been friends since we were 5, she was a bridesmaid in my wedding, i talk with her everyday.... well she let me know on Friday that she is 6 weeks pregnant... NOT planned, she was on the pill... I'm struggling to not feel jealous... I'm really happy for her and everything... but at the same time I can't help but think... why not me.
I've read a million threads about this very topic... women having friends / family etc not trying to conceive... but they do. I read those threads thinking that would never happen to me. but it freaking did! Please O please let this be my month.

to all of you!

 

[Hena]

I think it's one of the hardest things in the world, to be happy for someone who gets by chance what you want and are working for with every fibre of your being. I think you have to allow yourself to feel jealous, to yell at the wall, to cry and say "why not me" you'll feel better if you do and it will help you be a better friend to her later because you'll already have dealt with your less pleasant emotions and can focus on the happieness you feel for someone as close as it sound like this friend is. Also, please, please, let this be your month!!!!

On the light side of our thread, I love the ball story, muffin!!!! My dh actually props me up on a pile of pillows himself, doesn't want any of his to lose their way last night he put me in position, my legs up high in the air "this baby making is silly!" we both laughed so hard I almost fell off my pillow tower

angel, congrats on giving up coke! that sounds like me giving up chocolate, a real sacrifice! I've heard great things about ww, let us know how you like it.

We had a long weekend, I'm at my in-laws now but have to go back to work tomorrow. I think I'm ovulating now/tomorrow, we'll see. We've been bding every day (or more ) so as long as we haven't depleted the resourses too much, I think we're okay this month. I really hope to be pg before I visit my family next month!!!!
