Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[Feisty Fidget]

I know what you mean Urchin and I completely agree

Well I am considering Chasteberry for this cycle to sort out shortening LP and spotting, it is supposed to work on your endocrine system to help everything tick over smoothly. Part of me feels positive about trying new things and the other half just thinks why bother

Eagerly awaiting an update wannabe

Im trying fertilaid and charting for the first time this month, and reintroduced preseed into the science experiment that is me and DHs sex life. I like the fertilaid so far. It gives me a LOT of energy. My husband swears I havent shut up in two weeks!!! Apparently it is capable of boosting your dopamine levels, which makes you happier, and I think that is def what it has done for me. Anything to ease the misery of LTTTC is alright with me!

Plus I seem to have ovulated early...like cd13 early. As for whether or not I get pregnant...well I guess we will see in two weeks.

Good luck today wannabe!!!

As FF said, I understand what you mean, Urchin
It's comforting to know that we're not alone in our journey and that we have people going through similar stuff at the tough times - kind of like there's someone there who can at least have some idea of understanding what we're feeling.
But yes, we'd all rather that everyone else didn't have to go through the rough journey too.

Hello Ladies i hope ur all ok? Well i can't seem to get my pma back at the minute i just feel so down and just keep thinking why! the first time i got pregnant i never thought for 1 second that three years down the line i would of been pregnant 5 times and still have no baby. Next month is another hard month for me aswell. I do feel very lucky to have all you lovely ladies to talk too. To top it of i woke up yesturday with thrush (sorry for tmi) so i feel like it's not going to happen this month either bcos i've had to treat that. Does anybody know if it does affect ttc? xx

 

[Tasha16]

Sorry for the rant xx

 

[Sticky Beans]

I'm having a bad few days to, coming to the end of my 2ww, I done a HPT yest, which is unlike me as I normally just wait for AF to arrive it was neg  it was early to be taking it - AF is due this sat, but I know the results not guna change! So fed up with it all, can't help getting my hopes up every month to get another BFN!! I'm thinking of taking a month out try and get my mind off things, I've got a few things on next month, I've entered a couple of races (running) and got a trip to Newcastle so hopefully that'll take my mind off things a bit.

Big hugs to everyone - I thunk we all need it at the moment!

Wannabe let u's all know as soon as you have some news!

xc

 

[Tasha16]

ur not out yet huni i will keep my fx for you xx

 

[pinkfee]

I think everyone needs a big hug this cycle.

Tasha16 so sorry for all your losses, you really do inspire me as i'm not sure I could be as brave as you.

Stickybeans - your not out until that old show her face and no more testing until after as it won't help.

Wannabe - good luck, i can't wait to hear the results so goodness knows what you must be feeling... i'm keeping everything crossed! x

Sometimes i think you have to feel low, so you can feel positive tomorrow. I don't think anyone can be PMA all the time. Maybe book yourselves a trip away, i'm somewhere in my tww and trying not to obsess. we're off to the peak district this weekend, so thats whats making me feel better!

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Oh Tasha I am sorry hun

We seem to be suffering with mass LTTTC depression in here Maybe this means we are due a batch of happy to help spur us all on!

You and Feisty seem right. It's a shame we can't all meet up for some drinks, have a good cry, maybe go out dancing, and then all feel fabulous tomorrow...

 

[Rin731]

NTNP 11 months, and I took soy this past cycle.


So a year altogether?


I know it's not the same as those who have been TTC for years.


I also have super irregular cycles (101 days!), so until I go to the Dr about it (haven't yet bc of insurance issues), I can't really do much.

we dont have rankings in this club Rin, one year/4 years - we're all long termers quietly (or not so quietly ) going crazy.

[OiskyPoisky]

Can I share around some hugs for LTTTC depression too

Or rather LTTTC bipolar in my case. I am going from being on a major downer about having to see a fertility specialist to being happy and excited that something should finally happen about twenty times a day...I dont know how much more I can take! Roll on the 31st

 

[Dazed]

Hi girls. Just wanted to pop in and see how everyone is doing and give some massive Beotch got me this past weekend and since it was my last clomid cycle, I am au-natural from here on out until I get some money.

P.S. Dazed- I like your pic, that's how I feel most of the time.

 

[urchin]

I sometimes feel like a scribble too

yeah - I think we can manage hugs for LTTTC bipolarpeople too OiskyPoisky
BTW you've got my favourite screen name - makes me smile when I pronounce it in my head

Hello all

I hope you dont mind me joining in. I've been reading the posts in the LTTTC section for a while....loiteriing i think its called lol.....i'm 31, my husband is 36, we've been together 12 years and havent used protection for 10 of them...wow it seems unreal now that i've seen it written down...10 years (neither of us has kids and i've never been pregnant). Its only recently that i've pulled my head out the sand and decided to go to my doctor. I've always been a believer in what will be will be. However i'm 31 now and not getting any younger, so i cant ignore the fact that something must be seriously wrong any longer. So a little about my situation, i have regular 28 - 32 day periods that last around 5-6 days, my husbands 2 SA have came back normal and i've got the following CD21 pogesterone results for the past 3 months - (i must add i have never ever had a positive opk or BBT spike, so these results confuse me even more) -

CD 21 - 21 (Aug)
CD21 - 47.8 (Sept)
CD21 - 57.8 (Oct)

And i've just recently got my CD3 results, which has depressed me to my very soul as from what i've read online the FSH levels are not good at all

FSH CD3 - 9.8
LH - 4.7
Prolactin - 262
Estradiol - 1.27
TSH - 1.8

I'm currently waiting on a HSG, been waiting for 7 weeks so hopefully it'll not be much longer. Anyway thank you in advance for reading. I wish to goodness that we all get our darling baby soon, this is beyond cruel x

So I posted this in reply on another thread I was on, but thought it'd be a good intro to my situation.
----

My Dr as a teen said my period would regulate itself when I got older (I started my period when I was 12, and I had periods bi-monthly, then 3 months apart, and by the time I was 17/18, they were 4 months apart at times ).

I got on birth control when I was 17 ( to regulate, and birth control), then off when I was 20 (side effects), and here I am at 22...and my periods are so irregular still.

( I had one in Feb 2010 and Sept 2010 due to Plan B and then Birth control pills, but they weren't 'natural', if you know what i mean)

I had a 'natural' one:

11/5/10
1/31/11
6/10/11
9/6/11

and now I haven't gotten a period in October but I'm getting s when I test (to be sure).


I did take soy last cycle (Sept), to see what would happen...and nothing as of yet.

Hey everyone and welcome to the newbies!!

Tasha, I'm in the same situation as you. I've heard that thrush it's not supposed to affect TTC, but I don't believe that. First because it hurts like hell to , and also because it makes CM acidic, when need an alkaline environment to survive. Sorry hun, I wish I had a more positive answer for you!

For me it had been a struggle for years, but it was under control since i started TTC. We only managed to have sex two (painful) times, and neither on ovulation day. I hope it's just a one time thing. The good thing is that I'm pretty relaxed since I don't think this will be our month.

There's definitely something about october

to all of you lovely ladies!

 

[wannabeprego]

A Big Warm Welcome to the newbies, Rin731, Oisky, & Sam....Kick your feet up and get comfy!!! Good luck and baby dust to you lovely ladies....
