Anyone in their 20's and ttc #1?

[peachcheeks]

yea if we have multiples idk what we would do about names

We've picked out a name for a boy, and name for a girl. If we had any more than that I'd go searching though our family tree to find some more names My best friend had her baby's name picked out for years before she got pregnant.. then made the mistake of changing it at the last minute. She told me she regrets it! So I think it's a good idea to plan names in advance.

I have had a girls name picked out for ten years but dh and i just settled on a boys name in Feb

I've always loved picking out names for things... but there are way more names for girls that I like than for boys!! I had the hardest time picking out a boy name. The few I did like, DH didn't.

 

[FLArmyWife]

awe yeah thankfully we agreed on a "theme" when picking boys names.

So for a boy we picked Aeneas Lane (we both love greek mythology)

Soon2bpreggo- I picked Liam for a boys name and DH picked Chelsea for a girls name.

I had my progesterone levels checked today.. They are 38.6, the nurse said it's a good level, everywhere I read says levels are supposed to be like 15-20. So confused!

 

[FLArmyWife]

Kym- my Dr said anything in the 20s or higher is a great sign.

I also got my progesterone results today and was at only 13.7

That's cute! I like it, it's so unique. I looked through Greek mythology names when we were looking for a boy name, too. My favorite was 'Eros' but I'm a sucker for E names. (My initials are EEE lol. DH's name starts with an E, too!)

Liam is a sweet name. What CD are you supposed to get progesterone tests? I think a higher than avg level is a good thing.

Speaking of lab results, I got my Day 3 results back. I have very little idea as to what they mean or if they are good/ bad. My dr hasn't told me anything, just sent me the results through email!! (I think I mentioned once before that she was a little slack... :/) Well anyways, here they are: FSH= 5.1 / LH, serum= 8.9 / Estradiol(> 20 yr, 17 BETA, by ICMA)= 53.

I tried googling some things but the only thing I really saw was that if your LH:FSH was 2:1 it's a sign of PCOS.. Mines pretty close there?

 

[FLArmyWife]

peachy- I have no idea. sorry

I hope your doctor gives you move insight soon.

Eros is nice too. Hey you could always go with a theme of all names starting with the same letter


With clomid they normally have you do a trigger shot around CD 13-14 and then CD 21 you get blood drawn for the progesterone results. The reason behind this is 7 dpo your body should start creating progesterone to help support a pregnancy. It also gives insight into whether or not your body actually ovulated.

Hi Ladies im 23 and my OH 31 we are currently trying for out first baby too

FLArmyWife - I'm on clomid and its my third cycle this time, I'm going for the scan and trigger shot too.

 

[FLArmyWife]

hopefully it is successful for you.

 

[SarahLou372]

Thank you

We managed to get pregnant last cycle with just clomid alone. I may not even need the trigger but who knows it cant do any harm having it though. Unfortunately we miscarried

Hello! I'm 21 and DH is 24. We have recently agreed on TTC as soon as I get back home from visiting family (2 weeks) I am so excited and I hope I'll be able to conceive in the first few cycles (we're gonna try really hard!) DH is so excited as well and I've been waiting 2 years to hear him say he's ready. Now that he's ready, he's really ready. Haha! Anyways I hope you get pg soon! I know how it feels every month to feel as if itll be "maybe this month! My cm/boobs/ body feels different!" And then the witch shows up. Its heart breaking but the light at the end of the tunnel is worth it!

Hello everyone. I think this is exactly the community I need right now. I have spent some time the past few days reading through all of your posts. I can relate to just about all of them and while I'm sad that a lot of you have to struggle, I'm also glad I'm not alone.

I'm 28 and DH is 27. We were married last June and began TTC in September. My best friend started TTC just a few weeks before us, and BANG pregnant her first time. Super happy for her. I hoped I would be so lucky, though after being on BC for so long, I wasn't surprised that it would take us longer (though she had been on it just as long). I was very lucky to ovulate regularly (though late CD21) right off the pill. In November I got pregnant but lost it a couple of weeks later on DH's birthday. It was early but still so incredibly heartbreaking. That was our cycle 3. Now on cycle 4 since (7 total) and each month that goes by it gets harder and harder. Especially being a late ovulater, which I know some of you are, it is like a whole extra week of failure and depression before becoming fertile and hopeful again. I felt lucky to at least have a predictable cycle and ovulation though. Then this month happened, I went on vacation and was sick the whole time, and my temps are abnormally low. Maybe the antibiotics and steroids interfered, but I have been done with those for a few days now, it is CD 26 and my temps went up a little yesterday but are still not to my normal cover line. I have been having EWCM, but no idea of I ovulated or not. DH and I have been struggling with BDing, I hate that it has become a chore, still enjoyable, but sometimes we are just so tired, but know we have to do it.

Sorry for the novel, but it is just one of my rough days on this journey. Good luck to all of you. Congrats on the BFPs, I hope all of your pregnancies are going beautifully.

Hello SarahLou. This month was my 6th on clomid, but I think I'm going to try Femara next time if this one didn't work. I've never been pregnant so I don't know if clomid has worked for me or not.

Hi there I've been trying for a year now and no luck, but hopefully it's quick and easy for you. Nothing in my life has ever prepared me for what I have gone through while trying for a baby! Thanks for the well wishes

Since you were pregnant once before I'm confident that it won't be too much longer for you. I have heard that some antibiotics can effect fertility, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I had the same problem with BDing, where both I and DH felt like it was a routine thing, but we had a talk about it and since then it has been amazing. I just needed to let him know that I wanted him, not just doing it for the baby (I would have never known that's how he felt if not for the long talk). You always have us to talk to! What CD are you on?

 

[peachcheeks]

I had a mole removed this morning for a biopsy and the dr seemed really pessimistic about it.. I felt like she was suggesting I have cancer and it was scary. DH came with me which helped greatly but then she found a couple cysts on my neck so it turned into a very unpleasant experience. I'm also in the process of moving so I have been feeling really tired and overwhelmed. I know if I do have melanoma that it would effect TTC but I don't know what would happen if I am already pregnant this cycle!

Haha yes, I could stick with an 'E' theme The names we have picked out aren't E's though. Winifred for a girl and Theodore for a boy. Winnie and Teddy I talk about them all the time using their names lol!

I am curious as to my progesterone levels now. You said yours were a little low, does that mean you will start a progesterone supplement, like the cream?
