31yo, ttcing for baby no.1, looking for a buddy or two :)

[Trixiebell]

Hello! I am 31 year old, married. We had been ttcing on and off for 2 years previous until we had a 6 months break as it was getting too stressful. We have been ttcing fully since July last year for our first baby.
I have been on the ttcing section for quite a few years now and all my previous buddies have all had babies and now pregnant again or just had their second, starting to feel like I am being left behind

I am looking for a buddy or two who are also ttcing, we can support eachother through this journey 😊 x

 

[DaTucker]

Hey! I'm currently ttc #2! I'll be in there for the long haul if you'd like to buddy up with me. Last time it took us 3 1/2 years, and we've been ttc 5 months this time around!

 

[DaTucker]

And I know how you feel about the buddies, I had quite a few the first time ttc, all but one got pregnant and left me behind. Having a baby takes so much of your time!

 

[Trixiebell]

Yes I would love to buddy up 😃.
It definitely does take a while, I work full time days and hubby works full time nights so we are like passing ships which could have a lot to do with it. He is hoping to change his working hours soon so we can see alot more of each other, we are hoping that will help

 

[DaTucker]

Ouch, been there before! That was so difficult, my dh working nights and me working days! Thankfully it didn't last too long for us

So what CD are you on? I'm CD1, and ready to get this cycle rolling!

 

[Trixiebell]

AF arrived and was 4 days early, currently cd6 roll on Monday!

Hubby has his meeting in the morning hopefully it will all be sorted when he gets home 😃

 

[DaTucker]

Woohoo, how long has he been nights??

Got any fun weekend plans? We're heading down to Galveston,Tx for the day. We need a fun getaway, it's been all work and no play lately!

 

[Trixiebell]

He has been working nights for about 7 years, he didn't en up having the meeting so it should be sometime this week (we hope).
I had a fairly quiet weekend, my mum came over to stay which was nice, we had a quiet night in watching tv.

I have an appointment at the doctors Wednesday 😟. For years I have suffered with extremely painful periods, I underwent various tests, check for endometriosis everything came back fine except I had a polyp. I had the operation to have it remove, everything went well just suffered afterwards aching, felt like if been run over by a bus. After I had that removed my periods were a breeze, no pain whatsoever. The last few months they have started to be painful again, each month more painful than the last so I am having an ultrasound to check whether it has come back, I really hope not as it holds ttcing up for a couple of months.

 

[DaTucker]

Oh wow, but just think, it's the best of lots of other evils if it is just another polyp! Also, isn't it something that can harm your chances of conceiving if it's not removed? Or am I wrong about that?

CD6 today, this is quite a boring cycle! I have made a decision to not ttc more than a year before going for help this time. I'm just too impatient this time around. So I've been looking into IUI and will give us about another 6-7 cycles before calling the fertility specialist. I feel so relieved having decided this!

 

[ccourtneyy]

Hi ladies, I'd love to join as a buddy if you'll have me! I'm currently on my 3rd cycle ttc and on 12dpo today. I am finding the whole ttc process a lot more stressful than I expected especially around this time of the cycle and I don't really have many people to talk to since my family doesn't know I'm ttc and I feel like my hubby doesn't really get how it's affecting me. I would love to be able to give and get some support

 

[DaTucker]

I know exactly how you're feeling, Courtney! That's how it was ttc our first! It does get super stressful, especially when there's nobody to talk to about it! Good luck this cycle!

 

[ccourtneyy]

Thank you!

 

[ccourtneyy]

I'm really hoping this will be our month, the hubby is going back to work next week and will be on rotation 2 weeks on and one week off. So for the next few months I will be o-ing while he is away so no chance of conceiving then. Good luck to you girls this month too

 

[Trixiebell]

I know that feeling Courtney, I was exactly the same when we first started trying 2 years ago, you try not to get stressed but you just can't help it.

I have my ultrasound tomorrow, doctors are useless, she wanted to see me when AF finished but you can't book an appointment in advance you have to ring up on the day to get an appointment. I have booked tomorrow off work as holiday as I have got to start ringing from 7am so I have no idea what time my appointment will be until the morning.

 

[ccourtneyy]

That definitely doesn't make any sense, doctors really can be useless. Well af showed for me last night, 2 days early. Here's to another month and another chance how long have you been trying this time around?

 

[DaTucker]

Trixie, how did the appointment go? If you've had it yet!

Courtney, I'm on my 5th cycle, would be 6th but we took a month off. Sorry you didn't get the bfp, so that means the next few cycles will be a miss for you, right? Wit dh being at work?

Well dh said he thought he would be heading back on the 11th but still hasn't gotten a call yet. I would ovulate around the 14th but I am hoping he won't get the call to go back until the following week, then we would have a chance this month. If he goes back the 11th then I'm out until may, that will be the next time he would be home during the o. So we'll see! It will definitely be frustrating knowing that he's gone during my fertile time, but I haven't said anything to him I don't any him to feel bad or guilty.

 

[Trixiebell]

The appointment went well , it wasn't an ultrasound as I thought, it was an internal examination by the doctor, which was so uncomfortable. She said she couldn't see any polyps but would suggest an internal ultrasound which I have Wednesday morning. She also took a swob to test for cylamidia (however it is spelt) which WILL come back negative.
Hopefully it is nothing, she said one the results come back for that we will then just concentrate on getting pregnant.

 

[DaTucker]

Courtney, any news yet?? FX he doesn't leave on the 11th!

Trixie, I'm glad to hear you don't have any polyps, as far as they can see! I wonder what can be causing the painful af, though? Hopefully the ultrasound will reveal an answer!

CD10 for me, almost time to start dtd! Lately I've been ovulating on either CD14 or 16. I'm hoping I do on 14 bc I really don't feel like trying to bd every other day for a week straight. I'm waaay too tired for that.

No word yet! I am hoping that he would have gotten a call by now if he was going to have to leave, so looks like I might have a chance this cycle. And I hear ya, not having the energy to bd every other night. Good luck to you this cycle!
