Anyone in their 20's and ttc #1?

[chaoticbeauty]

Hi! I'm 26 and my hubby and I have been TTC since Feb 2014. I hate the waiting game!! Over the last year, I have had 2 mc's and found out I have PCOS and a bad copy of mthfr. I was on bc for 10 years before we started TTC and have been fortunate to not have too many issues with ovulation; just can't get or stay pregnant.. grr! I am waiting a few more months before I start any fertility treatments as I was really wanting to do it all on my own. I would love to have a buddy for support and am available if you need to talk! Good luck and hope your bfp comes soon!

Hello again!
Welcome to the chat, chaoticbeauty! I would love to be a buddy to you. When you were diagnosed did your doctor say anything about ways to increase your fertility, or were you diagnosed before you started ttc? I am very sorry about your mc. I am happy your cycles are still regular and that you know you can get pregnant, I hope the next one sticks! I have never been pregnant before so I have this fear that I never will- I hope my worrying doesn't make it worse! Thank you for being friendly.

Megs555, hello there! I hope you are having a good day. I am really excited for my own little family too! It's such a sweet idea. Hope it's not much longer!

willowtree, hey again! keep us posted. are you having any symptoms?

Afm, I am at 7 or 8 dpo and feeling very hopeful! I have lots of symptoms but it might be from the 100mg Clomid. I don't want to get my hopes up too much but it would be so perfect!

Hi everyone! It's great to see many other people that are a similar age to me all trying to achieve the same goal.

Good luck to you all.

 

[willowtree24]

Update !! AF got me I'm out good luck to you all. Onto next month. Hope your all well and get bfps !!!

This is my very first post to any thread like this. My husband and I have been TTC since December of 2013. It's been an emotional roller coaster, to say the least. We're in the process of getting a fertility work up done.

I'm on CD23, and I am not entirely sure if I ovulated this cycle. I had an HSG on February 6th, and heard that it can sometimes mess up your Ovulation cycle for the first month, but we will see.

I'll be testing on Thursday if AF doesn't show up.

Good luck to everyone!

 

[peachcheeks]

Good evening! Hope all is well.

Hello, kittykat. I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage, I hope you never have another. I've read many good things about being fit and active and ttc. What kind of workouts do you do? I've been trying to lose a little weight to hopefully increase my chances.

Sorry AF got you, willowtree! I think I might be right behind you. AF is due for me on Thursday but I feel like shes going to get me...

Congratulations, factorygirl! I see that you changed your description to Pregnant. Send some baby dust our way

KymD, welcome to the group. I am also fairly new to babyandbump but it has really helped me keep my spirits up. It's nice to have people to talk to that understand I hope you get good results from your HSG. My doctor has suggested I get one done if I am not pregnant in the next 3 months. Can I ask you though, does it hurt?

Well, as for me, I have just been trying to keep busy during this 2ww. AF is due thursday but I already tested twice, both bfns. I don't feel pregnant, but I've had sore nipples since ovulation, which is weird for me. I hope you all have a great day tomorrow!

 

[KymD]

Hi peach cheeks! My HSG actually didn't hurt at all. It was definitely uncomfortable when they put in the catheter and then blow up the balloon because of all the pressure it puts on your cervix, but it just felt like a light cramp for me. It is different for everyone though, I've read that if there is a blockage it's likely to be a bit more painful just because that dye is trying to push its way past all of it. It's very fast though, before I knew it, mine was over and everything was normal.
My AF is due Thursday too! Hopefully we both get BFP's!

Hi all! We are TTC #1 as well. We are both 25 years old. We have been trying since our first anniversary, October 2014. I got off birth control late September. I believe that I have had trouble ovulating since I have been off BC. This will be my first time to chart my temp. AF came February 22, so I began charting then. I had zero trouble ovulating before BC, so I am hoping that body gets back to normal this month!

 

[KymD]

Hi Megan! And welcome. Good luck with temping. Have you been watching for ovulation signs? That might help pin point it also.

Best of luck!

 

[Megan105]

Hi! And I have! I actually cramp a little during ovulation and I have always noticed my CM during the time of ovulation-even before birth control. My CM hasn't been as much as it was before BC, so I'm thinking that my body is getting use to being natural again??

I will always take advice!

 

[hope06]

Hi All. This is my 1st post. Im 25 and have been TTC for 3 years. I have had a myomectomy 10 months ago due to a huge fibroid in my womb and have been trying since last year june and no luck . Get AF as like clock work every 26-31 days averageing 28 days. Glad to see so much support here as this is not an easy journey and not everyone understands.

Good luck to all

 

[peachcheeks]

KymD, my period came early this morning, so I'm out for this month. Hope you have better luck! I was so angry and upset this morning. I will just vent on here. Stupid AF! It really is an evil witch. (lol)

Hello Megan! As you probably read, I have had trouble having regular ovulation since birth control. I don't know how regular I was before bc because I was young and didn't pay to much attention. But hope yours regulates without the need for any fertility medicine. I have been on clomid, it causes ovulation, and occasionally provera to start my period. If you don't need it, I don't recommend it because from my experience it causes my ovaries to grow cysts, swell, pain, hot flashes, horrible cramping and breast tenderness the entire cycle. Also causes heavier periods and less CM. buuuuut it helps ovulation so I can't complain My dr said the majority of women regulate within 3 cycles after stopping, so keep charting and maybe even take opks.

Hope, you are so right! it is definitely not as easy as I thought. I was convinced before ttc that unprotected sex would get me pregnant immediately. Here I am, almost a year later and haven't been pregnant once. It's a tough journey but we don't have to do it alone.

Well it's raining/snowing at my house right now! It's supposed to snow up to 5 inches tonight. I don't know if I'm excited or not, haha. As far as ttc, I started AF this morning and I just called in my refill in for clomid 100 mg. Tbh, I wish I could go back to 50 mg but oh well. 100 mg has caused so many side effects and my stomach's been upset for 2 weeks now. I do like that it has a higher chance of multiples, though. I wouldn't mind twins! Theres nothing sweeter than two babies snuggling!

 

[Megan105]

Thanks, peachcheeks! I never thought this journey would take this long either, and I am definitely not the one that has been waiting the longest. I thought we would get a baby our first go around!

I'm sorry AF came this morning, it really is devastating. Maybe you are destined for a Christmas baby!

My annual is coming up in May. If nothing has happened by then, it may be a great opportunity to talk to my doctor. I plan to chart until then and love my sweet husband!

 

[KymD]

Good luck peach cheeks!

Hello hope! You're right, it's not easy. This journey has been one of the toughest I've gone through. But we're all here to support each other, so hopefully this makes it easier for you.

 

[peachcheeks]

Good afternoon. Megan, I would love a Christmas baby! You made me excited by saying that. My birthday is also in December. It'd be a bday present for me, too! Where are you in your cycle?

KymD, thank you for the well wishes. Did AF ever come for you? Have you taken a test?

I'm on CD 4 and will take my second dose of clomid 100 mg tonight. I was already cramping from af and now have stronger cramps from clomid. My plans for the day are to relax, visit my mom and grandma and then Target. I hope you have the best day.

 

[KymD]

No AF yet! I tested FMU and still BFN. My husband has been extra supportive though, so that's making me relax a little more.

I'm sorry Clomid is causing more cramps. Is that a normal side effect? I don't know if they're going to start putting me on it too. Are there any other side effects to it?

I'm happy to see you're keeping your head high, peach cheeks! :thumb up:
