Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[tlm]

Wannabe, you are right about Lupron it's job is to prevent you from ovulating prematurely. You will stay on it until a day or two before ER. Also, abut your increased CM, with all of those follicles your ovaries are producing its a normal response to all of the hormones going on in there!

Hello ladies.

I've been having a hard time today. I'm almost 100% certain I'm out for this cycle and its hit me pretty hard. I had such high hopes since I knew I had a good ovulation and because this is the 5 year anniversary of us starting TTC. If this cycle had worked I would've been due just before my birthday. I've got some wonderful friends from trying after a loss thread who all cheer me on and I really appreciate how much they care about me, but I don't think they understand just how hard it is to go through this month after month, year after year. It doesn't help that most of the ladies I'm closest to are pregnant and due to give birth soon.

I don't really know where I'm going with this post. I just wanted to get it off my chest with you ladies who understand.

Aww, I am so sorry that things aren't looking good this cycle hun!!! Big hugs to you!!! LTTC is exhausting after a while and it takes a huge toll on you both emotionally and physically as well as all of the fertility medications taking a toll on our bodies. The only way that I got through the tuff times with LTTC is to try to focus on the good things I have in my life and do the things I love to do, spending time with my DH. I know I have had to take many breaks over the course of the 3 years I have been LTTC and just take a step back from it all to deal with everything. I wish that there was something that I could do to make everything alright for you hun. I hope and pray that one day soon you will get your BFP!!!

Do you know what your next steps with TTC are going to be? I know you are in the UK. Are you eligible to do IVF on the NHS?? I am sorry if you have already mentioned this before?

Good luck, you will do great! Will be sending lots of positive prayers your way! Perfect timing on ER, you will be able to relax and enjoy a nice Thanksgiving!!

AFM, doing ok. Ms is really bad and I don't really see an end in sight at this point! I hate to complain after 2+ years ttc but this is really exhausting to feel like this for going on two months! I guess it could be worse!!!! Lol!

Wannabe - I'm currently on the IVF waiting list (even thought shouldn't be since I'm getting clomid but we're just not mentioning itanf hoping no one notices). I should be at the top of the list in October but its all dependent on how any people before me drop out or get pregnant naturally. We're really lucky in this area because we get 3 full cycles funded. The only catch is that if we decided to self fund a cycle while we were waiting (which we could start almost immediately), they would then only fund 2 cycles for us etc.

I don't feel like I can take a break at the moment because I feel like we need to get in as many cycles of clomid as possible so that hopefully we won't need to do IVF at all.

Ickle - Honey I completely understand and get where you are coming from. I thought for sure my IVF would work. The timing of everything made it worse when it didn't work. We at first didn't know if we would be able to the IVF because I need to drop 100 pounds before we did it. Three weeks before the IVF I had hit my 100. I went into my doctor on a Sunday that happened to be my birthday. My retrieval was on 9/11 which was very symbolic. My transfer was two days before my nephews dedication which I had allowed my sister to do at my house. Then for me to have a chemical on the cycle I was devistated. My husband and I have been TTC for three and a half years. I so get it. If you need to talk I am here for you.

Wanna - I am so glad everything is going well. Good luck on Wedesday. The trigger shot isn't so bad just make sure your sister gets it in the right spot because if she doesn't it can hurt. One of my shots of progesterone my husband didn't get far enough into the muscle and I ended up with a huge brusie and lump.

Pnut - I am glad your appointment went well. Good luck on your diet.

Tarot - you are so right....I do feel that way....i want to be a mother....and I will do anything to hold on to him. He is such an amazing man and I am so lucky to have him in my life. I guess at the end of the day we just have to trust in the universe that all will work out for the best!

wannabe - wow things are just trucking along for you! I feel like you just started the lupron yesterday lol...ER tomorrow...good luck hun, I cant wait to hear about all those wonderful eggies they get!

Ickle - hun you are not alone....trust me. I have been ttc for 3 years now...and you are right...it is so hard to go through this month after month and year after year.....it just seems we wish our lives away 2 weeks at a time. I know how lost you feel because i am feeling it too. I just keep trying to look at the positives in my life until I can celebrate a pregnancy. Hang in there hun....trust me we are swimming in the same life raft!

Hello Ladies,
Sorry I have been MIA. I have been enjoying this nice weather we are having. I also have been decorating the house. We have the tree up with xmas decorations and Thanksgiving decorations. Seth(DH) has been working a lot. So when he is home I am not on the computer much because I am spending time with him. I haven't been feeling well on and off. I have been enjoying holiday movies. I also have been cleaning a lot. I hope you are all doing well

 

[ickle pand]

Thank you Tarot and TTC. It's so easy to get sucked into believing that these treatments are going to be a magic fix that you forget to prepare for the fact they might not work.

I've been low again all day but this evening I went to see my niece as its her 16th birthday and to see my best friend from school to give her wee boy a first birthday present. I thought seeing her two boys would be hard given my mood but they actually cheered me up.

 

[Dazed]

Well ladies, I think I may be joining you all again

 

[Pnutsprincess]

Well ladies, I think I may be joining you all again

Oh no I hope not Dazed! I am praying for you.

 

[Tarotempres]

Dazed - I hope not. Praying

Wannabe - good luck tomorrow

TTC - I do the same. I count my blessings everyday and try to find a better meaning in my life. I have been spending a lot of time volunteering around the town I grew up in with the hurricane and stuff. I just need to feel like my life means something.

Ickle - I am glad the kids cheered you up a little. I know I felt the same way after my chemical. I didn't want to be around any kids, see any kids. I finally decided to go and see my two nieces thinking it may help and it made me worse. I needed it to run its course and now it doesn't bother me to spend time with them or any other kids. We all handle this differently and let yourself feel how you need to feel. Your feelings are the one thing you own and no one can take that away from you. They are yours and you are entitled to do with them as you please. Other people may not agree with them but who cares because they don't own them. I hope we can help you too. I am very thankful I found this website and forum because it has helped me so much get through things.

well was at the hospital yesterday to get the results of OH SA (that was done months ago) and to see how my lap and dye went.

No problems with me, unfortunately OH SA was not so good, apparently they like to see a sample of 15million and OH had less than 1million and the ones that were there were 'lazy'.

He has to do another one to make sure it wasn't a flukey test but the consultant said that it looks like IVF is our only option

Back there in February to get the results of his next SA, and to see where we go from there

 

[pinkfee]

Oh dazed i really hope its not... i'll keep everything crossed.

 

[gilmore85]

Dazed really hoping you're not
