30 yo and TTC #1

Oh Rf, how frustrating on all fronts. I'm sorry, darlin. :hugs:

Miskas, what's with all the kidney problems around here lately?!? Goodness. Your poor DH. I hope he feels better soon...I certainly know how he must feel.


So I'm trying to get fired up for this cycle, but I'm having trouble getting into that mindset. My headaches have come back full force and I can't seem to shake them. I'm not sure what to do. It's just sucking all the energy out of me and ovulation week just sounds...exhausting and painful. When getting off the couch is too much exertion to handle, how am I supposed to BD every other day? :nope: Blah.

Ugh I'm so sorry! Have you seen a doctor for your headaches? Gotta be so frustrating, I'm sorry you are in such pain. :hugs:
 
Oh yeah. The gp doctor, 2 chiropractors, 2 neurologists, a doctor of osteopathy, physical therapy, a pain specialist, a headache specialist...and a partridge in a pear tree. I'm open to a witch doctor if anyone knows a good one.
 
Dos, I'm so sorry the headaches are back!! How annoying!!
 
Rfor really sorry to hear that we have a slight male factor and iv been devastated about it so really impressed with how strong you are, still sucks about the wait though when you've been patient enough!
Af due yesterday or today so today will mostly be spent running to the toilet to check and doing various stay away af dances and prayers
 
Good luck ladders... Baby dust your way :)

LSD my blood test results came back and it is all good :) such a release :) the ultrasound in 2 weeks ^_^ can't wait ..
 
I couldn't wait until mining to use the frer and took it last night and it was a clear positive YAY! Now I have to wait until 8 to call the doctor.

Still no symptoms yet

Ladders, are you going to test?
 
Trying to hold out until tomorrow or Thursday because the time between bfn and af is horrendous and I feel like crap so trying to spare myself the extra upset. Spent all morning trying to figure out if I can feel the back pain I get with af and running to the toilet to check but still just creamy cm. Never stuck my fingers up my hoo haa so much in my life!
 
lol. ladders! :) I hope this is a good sign and AF stays away for you! :) Rooting for ya! :)

Hope, I'm glad everything turned out good! You'll have to tell us how the ultrasound goes! :)
 
Crossing my fingers for you, Ladders! Lets turn that 2 a month statistic into an exponential increase!
 
So, I know this is weird to be excited about but today I noticed my bleeding is getting heavier. This excites me because my normal/regular periods are back! :) the past 3 I have had have not been normal! :) I am so happy! :) I just hope my periods are back to 5 full days! :)

So I am taking quite a few vitamins and getting rid of dairy this cycle. I have done lots of research on PCOS and testosterone and I think that I might have too much of it in my system. I have problems with hair growth in places that women shouldn't have it like my chin under my nose which is caused by high testosterone. Anyway, read up on it and OMega 3's are supposed to help lower it and it's said that dairy has testosterone in it so I'm just going to cut that out!

I hate PCOS. It's a bitch! :)

Dos, have you started taking maca root?!
 
ladders, I'm so sorry! :( :hugs: Open up that bottle of wine and enjoy!
 
Bfn so definitely out. I officially give up this is not going to happen for me.
 
So sorry you're having a rough day ladders! That's how I felt Sunday after my bfn. I can feel my cramps starting up today so I'm already thinking about next month....except I just got home from my husbands latest semen analysis results appt and his count is way low for the second time in 3 months. He is pretty down about it. They are increasing his clomid but unfortunately he might be scarring from the reversal so it's looking like I'll be on the ivf train pretty soon. Which is nice on one side of it because it will take the stress of figuring out my fertile days on my own. But then again it is very expensive and might not work. Lame. You should get your money back or at least half if it doesn't take!!!!
I'm feeling cranky. I don't think we can try ivf/ICSI for a couple of months. I think you have to do prepping for that. I read that it's a ton of meds and shots. There I go, googling again. Just cranky!!!
Yay for LSD having a normal period. Maybe mine will come on day 28 this month since I'm already on meds. I'd be cool with bleeding less each month...
 
aw, ladders, don't give up! Or maybe give up! Since they say that once you give up you get pregnant! :)
 
Mel thats great :) congratulations :hugs:

LSD thats good .. i know what you mean as mine too just last month got back to normal before the bill.. so thats a great sign :) i wish it is your month ..

Ladders... sorry to hear you have a bad day :hug:

JCM.. sorry to hear about your the results .. My boss's wife works in an IVF centre and he told us that they give 3 tries .. so it is a big chance.. best luck dear

Looks like we are on a similar timeline. My hubby has low count as well so we are looking at IUI or IVF. I don't know where you live but I live in MD and there is fertility clinic here that has a shared risk program. They will try up to 6 and if you don't get pregnant, you get your money back. Our insurance actually covers a good bit of it so we won't be pursuing the shared risk IVF, but just so you know that it is an option.
 
I don't know what's going on here but I've really been struggling these past couple days. I tested this morning, supposedly 15dpo, and BFN so I'm definitely not pregnant. I could be fine with that (not thrilled but fine) if AF would just start and confirm that I did in fact ovulate when it so clearly looks like I did on my chart. That would hopefully also mean that the completely insane PMSish symptoms I'm having would go away. There are some minor things like not sleeping well, etc but the main thing is that I'm just a wreck emotionally. Like literally crying every 30 minutes. I'm pretty much non-functional right now. It's especially bad timing since I have a job interview tomorrow and one Friday, both for jobs I'd probably be pretty excited about if I had any sort of energy to care. I can't even fathom how I would be able to work at the moment so it's probably a good thing I'm currently unemployed. Ugh. This is the worst :sad2: I never had PMS like this pre-pill. DH has been super supportive but is understandably slightly worried. He's pushing for me to call my Dr tomorrow and see what they say but I don't really know what they could do besides tell me to wait it out.
 
Jcm I'm really sorry to hear that. Hope your okay. Do you mind me asking what your dh sa results were? Don't mean to be nosey I'm just trying to figure out how much of a problem my dh semen levels could be, he has low volume low motility and greatly increased viscosity
