8 Months in........help!!!

[redrachel22]

Hiya, i'm new to this but just wanted to talk to people in the same boat!

I'm 28, been married for 2 years in June and being TTC since coming off the pill in August 2010.

I was on the pill for about 11 years and my cycles have been "ok" since coming off:

Aug: 34 days ~ Sep: 27 days ~ Oct: 23 days ~ Nov: 30 days ~ Dec: 30 days ~ Jan: 29 days ~ Feb: 32 days ~ Mar: Currently 8dpo

I thought it would be easy and was not stressing too much, but 6 months in i was starting to worry. I bought OPK's but all i got were negatives

I bought a thermometer mid Jan and joined fertility friend, and discovered my LP was only 9 days (ovulated day 20), i carried on and in Feb my LP increased to 11 days (ovulated day 21).

I was so mad thinking i wasted 6 months ttc, i was working towards the "normal" ovulation time but all along my LP was short.

Anyway, on CD1 of this cycle i started taking 100mg B6 a day and i ovulated on CD19 according to FF, I got +'ve OPK's on days 17, 18 & 19 so it's slightly better.

Im currently 8DPO, I had mild cramps at 2 - 4DPO then a temp dip at 5DPO and it spiked really high at 6DPO but i had a drink the night before so that explaines that! For the last couple of days my forhead has started to get really greasy, like i does every month before AF so i'm convinced im not pregnant this month.

As my cycles are not perfectly regular, i'm not sure when AF is due, could be anything from tomorrow to Sunday so just waiting.

Sorry for rambling, just wondered if anyone else is in the same boat?
I'm getting really frustrated with it all now, just want it to happen!!!

hi hun im on my 16th month all though its my 4th with current o/h but been ttc total 16cycles (long story) Ive been using opks since oct 2010 the firstcycle i used opks doc had done blood tests ,anywayi follwed cb opk sheet my cycle 27days and i started testing cd 10and cd11 ,cd12 got postive opks and then doc confirmed i was ovulating.
so 3months kept doing opks to no luck ,so went back gp as been year by then and he got me ultra sound everything was fine .o/h had sperm test all fine.Then i brought a clear blue fertility mointor , andpeaked cd11,cd 12 again every cycle for 5months now im on 6th cycle using clear blue machine , and still nothing.
ive lap/dye test to check my tubes 3rd may .

Im starting to worry bigtime like you , all though i did get bfp in 2006 so i can get preg or so ithought.

know howhard it is,you feel like your broken and you see kids everywhere and you never stop thinking bout being prenant .

after 12months go docs hun , esp as your opks wanst working they tell you if you deffoovulate .you need be ttc 1year thoe so lie if youneedbe , i did by a few months.

hope you get bfp soon ,may be pill thoe , takes 12months get body back normal and you say been on it over 10yrs so i wouldnt worry to much yet hun
goodluck babe xx

Aww thanks hun, i know theres so many people in the same boat but not told my friends i'm TTC so dont really want to discuss with them and i think my OH is sick of hearing about it!

Its good you have had a BFP, at least you know everythings in working order! Think i might go to the docs soon, just to put my mind at rest if anything.
