Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[BH2010]

Never mind googled it. Lots of tomatoes won't go over so well with DH, they give him migraines.

I am one of those soy seemed to screw with. I took it for 1 cycle because why not right? Everyone singing it's praises. I always ovulated like clockwork (according to BBT) until I took the soy, it messed me up for at least 2 cycles.

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Aww Fisher I feel for you hun I think that because we are all so desperate to get that we try a lot of things that ordinarily we wouldn't without a lot of research.

BH2010 it isn't just tomatoes hun. DH used to have a large glass of guava juice each day. You can also sneak certain foods in like parsley, chilli powder, red cabbage and basil. Watermelon and grapefruit's are also a great source. Failing that you can buy it in tablet form but diet is supposed to be much more successful

Hi ladies,
We're also trying for #1 this will be our 12th cycle. DH has had 2 sa test done, one really low, one really high so waiting for another test. We're going for best out of 3! I've got a cd21 blood test booked for this month, so hoping that comes back with good news.
I'm feeling very positive this month (might be a bad idea but hey ho) it's the first time I feel I've really taken contol and we're trying anything and everything out this month. Hopefully one of them will get us our BFP.

Also trying for number 1, just hit cycle 20 and first cycle following lap&dye where doc found lots of adhesions from an op I had as a child. We've been sent away to try but only a sml chance of conceiving naturally. Ivf will be next but not until I hit 30yrs next April it's all becoming a bit of a struggle and I can't seem to find anything to distract me from ttc, it's odd but things I used to find fun just aren't anymore and can't seem to find anything that really enjoy doing - always seem to be thinking about ttc! Never had a bfp in all this time!

Oh Irish eyes I am so sorry you have not yet had any answers as to why you still haven't had that

Have you tried IUI before or has your specialist recommended going straight to IVF?

We are unexplained infertility so it was straight to IVF. I have had my CD3, CD21 tests, all general bloodworks done, scan of the uterus and ovaries, HSG and an ovarian reserve test done. I have not received the result yet for the ovarian reserve one and DH has had two SA which were both normal. I don't think they prescribed Clomid because I ovulate but we received a letter this morning giving us details of DH's second SA and it said that they will be in contact to discuss further treatment. I am assuming that is straight to IVF as my FS has referred me to the Fertility Clinic.

Hello Ladies, TTC#1 also. Started TTC in January 2008. (Well we went from January 2008 to May 2010 NTNP) Diagnosed with PCOS in June 2010, DH also has issuse Got fed up with OB/GYN and FS as well once they both told me I had PCOS and pretty much left the conversation at that. Due to go back to the Dr. soon, will be asking tons more questions then. So happy to have found this site as I can talk with women that know exactly what I am going through!!!

We've been TTC#1 for almost 14 years. We have had BFP's (one ectopic July '08, three early miscarriages October '98, July '09, June '11, one chemical March '11, and one second trimester loss July '10)

I have PCOS, but am on metformin and as far as anyone can tell, ovulate regularly. DH has no problems. You name it, we've tried it, from natural suppliment (Soy, agnus castus, etc) right up to and including using up all our cycles of NHS funded IVF. There's no cause found for our losses either. We're apparently just "unlucky"

 

[Feisty Fidget]

The strength of you ladies is amazing. I am so sorry for all of your losses

 

[jelly tots]

I hope you ladies don't mind me joining.
I've been ttc since I came off the pill in Jan 2010 for our first baby, hubster is in the RAF so has been rather difficult with regards to timings the last two years since we got married in Oct 2009, and only seeing each other a few times a month. He has now finished his courses so will be able to see him a lot more from now on as will finally be able to move into quarters together.
On a positive note my next af is due the day before our 2nd anniversary, so would be brilliant if I finally got my bfp then. Not holding my breath though as have a lot on this month what with moving house, finding a new job and doing the last of my professional exams. Although they say new house, new baby.
I have decided not to temp for this month and see how i get on witht he whole not knowing, just go with it all and try not to worry if temps are staying up/down or whatever.

Had a quick read through the earlier posts on this thread/section and some very inspirational people on here, fx it happens very soon for you guys.

Hi Ladies

We've also been ltttc our first baby since Nov 2009, well NTNP up until July 2010 and then I only starting temping since Jan 2011, so could well have been dtd at not the right times before!!

Its so comforting to find i'm not the only one having problems conceiving my first child.

Fisher640 I too only took Soya for one cycle and i think it messed my ovulation up too, However i'm not sure if its down to the HSG i had the following month? My overall temps seem to have dropped aswell which is a bit strange.... had a bit of a funny month so have quit temping until my next cycle and to be honest i'm wondering whether to give it up altogether or whether to try OPKs instead?

AF is due sat so i'm in that one minute convinced i'm pregnant one minute totally convinced i'm not stage. i'm also trying to ignore any twinge from the abdomen area as i'm not sure if its a good or bad sign. I'm keeping everything crossed and hoping the myth of the HSG improving chances is true! but after 21mths of never a sniff of a BFP i'm not holding my breath!

 

[honeybee2]

i get positive opks- just never had a bfp. Sometimes I look at my opk going pink and imagine it was a HPT

 

[Dazed]

Hi ladies! Also another TTC#1 here. We have been trying since October 2009 with one loss in January 2010 and nothing since. I am currently on clomid and trying to figure out where I'm going to get the funding for a HSG.

to everyone!

 

[plzmrstork]

Hi, we are in the same situation, lttc number 1, however oh has children from another relationship, so dont know if i 'qualify' has anyone heard of anything out of the ordinary that we could try? I only ask because we have tried all the well-known ones and old wives tales xx good luck to everyone xx

 

[Feisty Fidget]

plzmrstork of course you can join hun! There is no requirements other then LTTC number one, which you are There are millions of things out there that you can try but none of them sadly guarantee a Are you temping? It is the only way to guarantee you are dtd at the right times.

Hello to all the other new ladies, hopefully we will soon be able to offer each other advice, share stories and hopefully welcome some

Well currently CD10 today and my elation at natural ovulation last month may have been a bit premature. I did an OPK today and the second line was barely visible meaning that the LH is rather low at this stage. It could just be that I will ovulate later but it could also mean that I only ovulated 'naturally' last cycle as I had residual clomid left in my body from the cycle before

Trying conceive plus applicated internally for the first time tonight, should be fun

 

[Dazed]

Good Luck with the bding session Feisty!

 

[SpicyWolf]

Wow, lots of fall 2009 ltttc'ers here! We are also trying for #1 - I used to think it would be nice to have 3 kids, now I'd be forever grateful to just have one!!! Best of luck to everyone - hope we all get the chance to be moms

 

[DND]

Hi Ladies! We are also LTTC #1...I have tube issues. Trying on our own since Nov 2007, getting things sorted to try IVF.

I have been looking for a place where I fit in on BnB...hopefully I can join you ladies

for everyone!

 

[Damita]

I am, I have irregular long cycles (always had them), first FS app on Monday, I am so nervous

 

[midget em]

We tried that for the first time the other day. I've never used any sort of lube before it was so funny. I squeezed some in my hands then was like erm.... what do I do with it? hahaha
