Anyone been TTC almost a year now?

[Bea1986]

Hi

Would anyone who has been TTC for around a year like to join this thread?

I don't quite feel like I belong in the Long Term TTC thread just yet, but it definitely feels like I'm getting there

I'd love some buddies in a similar position

Hello!
I hit my year mark in March. I'm about to start my first cycle of clomid and get my hsg test done. I'm just hoping clomid will get the job done .

We've been ttc for almost a year & a half, now. I'll also be starting my first round of Clomid this next cycle.

Hi Sarah

The one year mark is hard isnt it, i will hit it next month. How exciting that its your first month on Clomid! Are you temping/using opks this month?

This is my first month on Bromocriptine. My prolactin levels are high, so the bromo is to lower them and hopefully help me ovulate better, i'm a late ovulater and I have a short LP of only 9 days. x

Hi Brightlywound

Thats great that you are starting your first round of clomid aswell! Do you have issues with late ovulation or missed ovulations aswell? x

I'm around the 10 month mark...my intervention from fertility specialist has been ramping up fairly fast since I apparently have a low AMH (ovarian reserve) especially for my age so he is not wasting any time, I suspect I will start Clomid next cycle if nothing happens this time...seem to get diagnosed with a new issue every visit...check my sig for details...best of luck to everyone!

Hi PDubs

It sounds like your fertility specialist is on the ball with everything and hopefully you are well on track to getting things treated. Good luck with the clomid x

8 months for me, 1 year in september. i'm starting to lose weight on monday, aiming to be almost at a bmi of 30 by then (about 4 stone away... 56lb) as then it'll be a year trying, i have pcos and will be near the limit that they will prescribe me it.

1 year for me too, started April last year. Had 2 BFP but then 2 MCs. This is my fifth cycle since my last MC , sigh! When I started out on this journey I thought I'd be happily pregnant by now to all

The one year mark is the worst! I was somewhat hopeful hitting it though knowing my FS would finally see me. I'll be charting and using opks this month (it'll be the first time in a few months on the temping. I got fed up with it awhile back) I'm hoping this cycle is it for me. I've heard hsg tests can temporarily make you more fertile, so fingers are crossed! I'm also a late ovulator. The earliest it ever happens is CD21 so I'm hoping clomid helps with that as well.

Do you chart and use opks?

Hope this month is it for us!

Sending lots of baby dust your way!

Hello its been a year since my M/C last year this past Sunday hope its ok to post here we are kind of NTNP although I am temping just so when we do start really Ttc which I hope will be next month if hubbie agrees. I will already understand everything a little better.

hello all!
This is my TTC cycle #14

 

[SusieC]

What sort have things have people tried whilst TTC? I've had a few sessions of acupuncture , found it really helpful for stress. But she is sick at the mo so not seen her for ages. Have also just started on fertilitea in the hope it will regulate my cycles a bit - they are 32-38 days at the mo. just started trying to temp but I wake up at 3am, 5am (oh gets up then) and 7am, so I struggle to have 3 solid hours of sleep first

I tried several months vitamine B6, 5 months with soy isoflavones, now my hormone profile is good.
This cycle I will do only OPK´s, without BBT (I hope )

 

[Bea1986]

Hi wwchix Good luck with the weight loss, I hope that it works out for you with the meds. I've heard it can take a bit longer with PCOS, but the success rates are good. :babydust:

Hi Suzie I'm sorry to hear about your losses I understand what you mean, I thought i'd have a baby by now, and every time something happens like a birthday or Christmas, I always think, I thought I would be pregnant by now. Its hard. I would definitely recommend using opks if you aren't already they are great at finding out when the best time to bd is. I would also recommend lying down for a bit after you bd as it can help the swimmers.

Hi Sarah, Best of luck with the hsg test, it will be great if it does make you super fertile this cycle and its great that you are using opks and temping too. Will the clomid bring your ovulation forward?
I am going to start opks pretty early this month cuz i'm not sure how my meds will affect my ovulation and I don't want to miss my window, I will be temping as well so I can see if my LP extends this month.

Hi Donna Baby dust to you, it must've been hard when things took so long last time, I really hope its quicker this time.

Hi babysalazar1 I'm so sorry for your loss it must be really hard with the anniversary coming up. I hope that once you start officially ttc it happens quickly for you.

Hi Riana I hope that 14 is your lucky number and it happens for you very soon

Hi all! This month (May) marks our 1yr TTC journey. Just started Clomid this cycle. We did get pregnant in Aug, but was a chemical. No pregnancies since. We are both exhausted and hoping the Clomid does the trick. We took it for our 9 year old, our 2 1/2 year old was a pleasant surprise. Baby dust to everyone. WE ALL DESERVE SOME BFP's!

Period due on or around 5/20.

I am on Metformin (1500mgs) and am see a FS to get things figured out. I tried Soy Iso. this month but don't think I O'd so no help there...I also have wonky sleep and can't temp but I do check CM and do OPKs. I have a GC for a reflexologist that I will try as well but acupuncture scares me...my sister did acupuncture for a year or so but nothing yet for her...she's into at least her third year trying

 

[SusieC]

Wow - lots of replies! sorry for delay in replying back! i had my gynaecologist apt today - - good news for me my cyst has gone, i dont have endometriosis and everything looks normal. He is recommending aspirin and progesterone for when I next get pregnant, although he admitted the evidence base is sketchy!

Riana- how did soy help ur hormones to regulate?

Bea- I already use OPK most cycles - am using again this cycle but Internet cheapieas rather than clear blue, as they are do expensive!

XandZ - hope clomid helps - keep us posted!

PDubs - I like how I feel after acupuncture but don't find it that relaxing at the time! It hurts! Lol!
