African or African-Americans TTC

Hello Ladies! I'm 33 and I've been actively TTC for 15 cycles. AF was expected yesterday, and so far no sign of the :witch: ! I did test at 10 dpo and got a :bfn: . However I thought I ovulated earlier. If I would have known, I would have waited to test. I plan to test again tomorrow!

I started seeing doctors about 6 months into my TTC journey. After a series of tests (which took about 5 months to do), I still had "unexplained infertility"; although I was found to have adenomyosis. I had an HSG in August 2012, and was really hoping to conceive after that. To no avail though. :shrug:

My BF has a daughter from a previous relationship that will be 3 this June, so I don't suspect any issue with him (although he does smoke).

In my TTC journey I've:

-lost about 25 pounds
-started taking iron pills
-started taking B-complex
-started on a multivitamin then later a prenatal
-started using progesterone cream in the 2nd half of the cycle
-used an Omega Oil blend, but discontinued Feb. 2013
-used Exclzyme serrapeptaste capsules, but stopped in Dec. 2012 (too expensive and I didn't see much of a difference in external scarring).
-started using Vitex in Jan 2013
-first cycle (the one which I'm still waiting for AF) using royal jelly/bee propolis/bee pollen capsules.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I conceived this cycle. I didn't expect to get pregnant right away, but I also never thought it would take more than a year. Oh well....the longer the wait, the sweeter it is I guess!
 
MsShona welcome to the thread! I hope you get your bfp really soon! You are right, it will be so sweet when you get there.

Congrats Christy on your little one! He is adorable. Very happy for you! :)
:happydance:

Congrats Shona! Very exciting news :)
 
I had the craziest dream last night that woke me up out of my sleep. My Dr said, "girl you gonna have a baby at 38". I said huh, and I couldnt get right back to sleep, I was up for a while. I have been feeling really tired and sick. AF should be here today according to some calendars but most say 5/1. I asked God to give me a sign if I am, and if I am not to please take these thoughts away from me.

Well have a great day!
