Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[ttcbaby117]

welcome back momma!

ella - hopefully you will still catch the eggy! Are you doing IUI or TI?

 

[Ella_Hopeful]

TI

 

[ttcbaby117]

well I think you are still in good shape. Your body is doing what it naturally wants to do adn you didnt have to do the trigger to force it to ovulate. This si your body also telling you that this eggy is mature and ready for the sperm! I am keeping everything crossed hun!

 

[gilmore85]

welcome jules....have you been to an RE? have you gotten a dx yet?

Since I'm so new I have no idea what RE and dx are. I'm just now considering going to my Dr. about this and going from there. So any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

[sugarpi24]

I would go to your doctor just to get things checked out and make sure everything is in order do you have irregular cycles?

Yes, fortunately I'm very regular.

 

[ttcbaby117]

Oh sorry Jules! yes RE is a reproductive Endocrinologist and Dx means diagnosis. Please let us know if you have any questions, we are more than happy to help.

Rough rough day today.

My younger SIL announced she is 3 months pg.

She only started TTC a few months back...

And they know we've been TTC a long time.

We're a very close family, so now it's all going to be babies and strollers and shower parties.... I think I'm going to stay away

And of course, they'll be giving my ILs the first grandchild.

Hello all, new to this thread, my husband and i have been trying for a baby for 3 years now, he has 3 children from a previous marriage and i have none, have never been pregnant.

Good luck to everyone xx

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Ella great big massive hugs This is my greatest fear, my younger SIL will give the in-laws the first grandchildren (despite us actually trying before they even got together ) I don't think there is anything wrong with you staying away sweet - Life is so unfair

 

[jules87]

Ella I wouldn't blame you for staying away from all the baby stuff. I've been doing that for a little while now too.

MrsOvey- welcome to the group!

Update here: DH and I decided to wait until he's out of school to do any fertility testing. So we have a year and a half of just trying, no assistance, no testing. I was relieved that we came to that conclusion, but all I can think is "What if we go another year and a half without conceiving."

Also I'm going to make an appointment to make sure I'm not a "carrier" for Tuberous Schlerosis. My brother has it, so its possible that I have the mutated gene that can cause any future children of mine to actually end up with the disease.

Needless to say, I"m stressed.

Hope you all have a good day/ week. Stay positive and I hope you get your BFPs!

Hello!

I have never used a forum like this for support or advice before. Quite frankly i never thought anybody would take me seriously or would tell me other things like im too young etc. I am 24 years old and stopped taking the contraceptive pill micrognon 30 25 months ago. 25 MONTHS!! I never realised how hard it can be ttc. Especially when i just assumed that being younger was more of a pro health wise. Mind you i am a smoker ( i am quitting) and overweight. But i know girls my ages or younger who have been particularly naughty - done drugs, drank way too alchohol and partied like no ones business- and have conceived. So i almost feel like im being punished for something. My partner already has a son, and is healthy so im not concerned about his fertility. I did suffer with appendicitis and peritonitis when i was 4, i was very poorly and its left a very unsightly scar which is tight but causes no problems as far as i know. When i raised concerns with my Dr i dont think he took me seriously, i had a blood test which apparently was normal and that was the end of that. I just want some advice on what to do next?

Hey Lucy, have developed itching all over the last couple of weeks which can be really irritating its down to something called obstetric cholestasis so i've been having regular blood tests and more fetal heart monitoring to make sure babies are okay... big news is that i'm booked in for a c-section this fri!!! very scary that these babies will be here before I know it!

So glad you got your 1st cycle back, its only right afterall they put you through. Good luck for your next apt in April, I think short protocol is just as effective as the long so I really hope this is the plan that will work.

Ella - its very hard, but try not to get too down about 1st grandchilds, all grandchildren are loved, cos whatever gender the baby she has you could have the other and then that will still be the first boy/girl etc... but do what you have to and if staying away from the babystuff helps just do that.

Hello to the newbies, I have found this to be the best thread on bnb and these girls are so supportive, so they'll make you feel very welcome and not alone!

missmcal - due to your age unfortunately you probably will be fobbed off by doctors because in their eyes you've got plenty of time re: your biological clock. I only really started to want children in my late twenties but i'd suggest that if your GP isn't taking you seriously, try another until someone is prepared to send you for further tests. Make your diet as healthy as it can be (i.e. plenty of fruit and veg), stop smoking asap, reduce alcohol intake, start taking vitamin tablets, exercise and maybe start to temp your cycle. The more you understand your cycle and when you ovulate the more evidence you'll be able to give your doctors when you go to see them. Also don't just assume because your OH has a son that he's also not adding to the problems, could have been a fluke or that his previous partner was super fertile! Good Luck.

Thanks for the welcomes - i can understand how you're all feeling, especially being around pregnant women and new mums.

What makes me feel worse is everyone asking, when are we going to be having a baby, none of them know my problems, so i just say 'not yet' or 'when we're ready'. I get it from work, friends and family. The 'you'll be a great mum' is a particular favourite of mine.

I've been feeling quite emotional today, i told another lose friend of mine today that we'd been referred, she said 'that's a good thing right' i replied of course it is, but revealing it to someone made me feel like a failure all over again.

I've got 7 god children! Yes, 7! And one niece, all of which i love dearly, but to have my child call me mummy, and tell me they love me, would be simply the best thing in the world xx
