Anyone on their 14 month TTC with no BFP ever?

[FaithHopeLuv]

i don't know if i would have ever gotten a BFP cause i refuse to early test since i have been tcc for about 18mo. but i think this is my year. i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and insulin resistance. i have my meds now and i am feeling much better, lost weight that i had been trying to lose since i had ankle surgery and gained 6 days on my lp. which was awesome bc after coming off bcp i only had a 23 day cycle with a 6-7 day lp. i hope you all get your bfp's soon. lots of prayers for you ladies.

I know! I'd much rather we were both off these forums now...enough's enough!

I've not been using OPKs cos my pcos means my LH is high, so I get false positives.

I'm very excited to be on clomid too. My first 2 months I didn't ov, but last month I did (but I think they gave me my trigger shot too early). So onto next month And I hear you with not waiting for #2...truth be told I'd quite fancy twins now!

One of my best friends is about 4 months preggers now, and I'm finding it tough. I know it will only get worse as she gets her lovely bump in. I know I'll regret backing off when I look back in years to come, but it's just tough seeing her now. I can only hope she understands.

Hey MrsG_1980 - At first being around kids isn't that bad but I think its when the parents start talking about them that gets me(like how they are at school, silly anecdotes about them thats when it hurts the most you know).

You have to celebrate crimbo, does anyone know you TTC? I'm not prepping myself for a december testing (well I don't plan to think of it as a magical experience anymore), I daren't. last year we got too hyped up and it turned out I was at my most fertile time then so there was no way it could have been BFP

Damita - :wave: how are you finding the clomid, I think this 2nd round I'm on is making me moody. I'm taking it 7.30 in the morning this time, last round it was 8.30 at night so I wanted to see if\how my body reacts at a different time. I would love to go back to the 8.30 time but now I think if I did that then I won't be committed and might mess up the meds in my system (silly talk I know, but still I have to give it a whirl).

Lizzy444 - did the injections hurt, needles freak me out. Did you get any side effects? hope it works for you next cycle DH and I started trying August 23rd . Time moves differently when you TTC don't you reckon, it doesn't feel that long ago at all!

SpicyWolf - It's good you're on progesterone, how much more is your LP now?

I don't know how to feel around new mothers these days, I'm just glad I only have to bump into them when out shopping. I'd hate to sit at work with the person next to me going "ooo baby did this yesterday it was so cute"

LizMcD - just think of something nastier when your doing the injections, I find it tends to do the trick

RM_Wife - hey, what are your cycle lengths like generally, do you have good ones?

FaithHopeLuv - you have a lot of will power to not be an early tester! sorry for not knowing but whats Hypothyroidism (as I'm typing I'm now seeing the word Thyroid on my screen so I hope I'm half way there with an assumption). I'm pleased you're able to lose weight and wow on your 6 day increase on your LP!

Justwantababy - funny you say about the twin thing cause I'd love to have them too! Obviously the Gyn said there's a higher chance and at the time it was a bit daunting but hell, after TTC for over 14 months we all need to be repaid for the all the grief and heartache so I think it's excellent idea.

I hope your friend will see things from your perspective in the future, do you know if she was ttc for long? I'm dreading when people ask me if we were TTC, I'd probably end up saying "you might want to grab a chair and get really comfy because it's going to be one long story I'm afraid"

Clomid is good no side effects minus hot flashes felt totally normally, I took mine in the morning after breakfast

 

[Tanzibar83]

ooo the hot flashes, how I miss them...not (maybe on a cold winters morning)! my only side effect from 100mg clomid is that I feel angrier and moodier and it's hard to shake off. I've had a couple of twinges on my right side tonight so I'm wondering if thats the side I'll be oving from this cycle - hmm I think I'm symptom spotting already, need to take a chill pill

 

[Jakkiw2]

I am on month 15. Waiting for af to show so I can take my first ever chlomid.

Me too I just want to have another bubba xx

 

[Rin731]

I've been NTNP 11 months, TTC with soy this (one) cycle.

NEVER had a

The soy made me feel moodier too- one of the signs ( I think) that I was OVing was that I was crying one minute and yelling at DH the next...

 

[Tanzibar83]

Rin731 - hello yet again, hehe!

How has the soy been for you apart from the moody feelings, did it give you mid cycle spotting?

One of my best friends is about 4 months preggers now, and I'm finding it tough.

I know what you mean; one of my best friends who I see daily (also a colleague) just had her 20 week scan. This is our 19th month of trying with no bfp and I know they'd only been trying for 5 months, so it does hurt a bit. On the one hand I love to hear and see how things are going and on a good day I can think 'that'll be me soon' but equally it's really hard thinking it may never be me.

(don't know whether my quoting will work as I didn't know how to only quote part of a section)

 

[Sizzles]

Ah, my quoting worked; excellent!

 

[a1b2c3]

Hey. I have been given 50mg days 2-6 for 3 months to see how I get on. The reason being that my periods are all over the place. Anywhere from 6 weeks to 4 months.

And like you I have never had a bfp. In fact while using opk's (ever since we have been trying) only ever had two positives of those

They were ntnp for about a year...so when they fell preg she thought she was sharing the best advice by saying to make sure we had enough sex...bless her! If only it was that simple!! I find it hard to talk to her about it all now, but I hope it all comes good in the long term.

Sometimes I think when I finally do get preg my friends will breath a sigh of a relief cos I'll stop moaning about it!

14 over here too and realized that yesterday and completely went bonkers. Sat myself down after work and guzzled some wine. Hubby had no idea what to say, lol.

Waiting for my HyCoSy. Was supposed to have it this cycle but my Gyne suddenly went on vacation. I'm having CD3 bloodwork done as well and my DH had sperm analysis already. I'm hoping my Gyne offers clomid and I'm trying to convince hubby that we should go straight for IUI if offered. I don't think he wants to accept that *he* won't be able to knock me up.

I don't stop by often as I'm trying to keep busy and keep my mind off TTC but it's really nice to settle in and see that other women are feeling the same way.

 

[Rin731]

Rin731 - hello yet again, hehe!

How has the soy been for you apart from the moody feelings, did it give you mid cycle spotting?

I'm CD 35 right now with no spotting, no cramps, no nothing.

It's making me broody.

Ugh! I am now on 200mg of Clomid- talk about hot flashes!!!! I am also very moody and I seem to get bloated right after I ov. Good Luck!

 

[sarahlou1985]

This is our 14th month and never had a BFP, as awful as it sounds I would even welcome a chemical right now so I at least know we can get pregnant :/ OH has severe morphology only 1% got appointments next month to do more, I think there's more to it than that and sometimes feel like we'll never have a baby together I have a 6 year old and Oh a 9 year old but so desperate to have 1 of our own xx

 

[Tanzibar83]

sizzles - it's at times like this (TTC) when I'd gladly shut myself off from the world so that way I'll never know if people are pregnant - maybe it would do more good psychologically yeah right!

a1b2c3 - sorry to hear your periods are out of whack, so are you currently on your first round of clomid?

Justwantababy - I bet when all LTTC are pregnant they'll never stop moaning, I don't think I will! haha

wonderstars - when are you having your hycosy? I so wish they could have checked my tubes when I had my appointment but it would have too much discomfort with the blood blister, doh!

Jamitha - 200mg wow thats a lot. Is that your 3rd round, how come you're on such a high dosage?

sarahlou1985 - I know what you mean honey, said something similar to hubby myself the other week and he looked sad that I was even thnking that, I'd just love to know if we're compatible or not. is OH taking anything to help increase quality sperm?

 

[SKP]

Im 14 months in as well. Been reffered to the gyno, and I am doing bloods, ultrasound, hsg, hubby tested al lthat jazz. In Novemeber. Then December is my check up.

Should hubby be tested and get that over with,? Im pretty sure we can just go to our family doc for the results instead of waiting 2 months.

 

[Tanzibar83]

Hi SKP, I don't think it will do any harm for hubby to be tested, I reckon you should go and speak to the family doc, it will put your minds at rest at any rate and any results from it will only help you be even more proactive about baby making right?

 

[wonderstars]

After reading the thread I have come to the conclusion that if I go on Clomid I must warn my husband/friends/co workers of moodiness and random hot flashes, lol. I knew pregnancy wasn't sexy but who knew trying to get pregnant wouldn't be either!
