Anyone on their 14 month TTC with no BFP ever?

[amber0134]

2 Years here Have had blood work and ultra sounds and blah. Have a spotting issue starting anywhere from 4-9 dpo till af Yet docs find nothing wrong Hubby gets checked out soon

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?

Tanzi-
This is my 4th and final round on clomid. I tihnk 200 is the most you can take. A little back story: I have tubal on my right but that ovary produces eggs almost every month My left tube is open but my ovary doesnt produce much maybe once or twice a year! So we were hoping that the clomid would give the left a boost! It did not respond until last cycle at 150mg but the 1 follicle it produced only got to a 16.5. So this was our last try. I also started taking bee pollen/royal jelly. WOW! What a surprise! I went for my ultrasound and I have 2 follicles on the left and they are 22 and I have a few days till I ov!!!! So excited this is the first month that I have really had a chance to get I think we may do IUI to help seal the deal. If this doesn't work then we will start injections. Fingers and Toes crossed for us that we will get a November!!!!!!

wonderstars - so do people know you're TTC?

amber0134 - so sorry it's been 2 years, have you switched doctors to see if a new opinion or suggestion will work? have you ever had a BFP? how come it's taken hubby so long to get SA checked?

Jamitha, I really hope this clomid round will be successful for you, how did it effect your cycles, did they shorten?

How do you take royal jelly\bee pollen - are they in tablet form?

I am on my 17th cycle TTC and not one BFP yet either. I am cycle day 3 of cycle 17. I am scheduled for an HSG in nov after my next period because my FS couldn't fit me in this cycle. I have had a lot of blood work, antral follicle count u/s and pelvic exam/pap all done and everything is normal........so far.

Tanzi- My cycles run about 33-35 days so longer than usual. i was really light headed and with the 200mg I started getting weird visual disturbances. I also had really bad hot flashes starting with the first round 50mg. Out of 3 rounds of clomid I have only ov 1 time on my left ( with 150mg) but it never got big enough. I just got my CD 14 and then CD 16 and I TWO follies on my left and they are larger than 25!!!!!! We were going to do IUI but I am about to ov tonight or tomorrow. The bee pollen I got from GNC the brand is Y.S and I am taking 2 capsules a day( i took 1 a day the first week and then increased it) there is honey and granules but the pills I have are Y.S. ORGANIC BEE FARMS Royal Jelly Bee Pollen Propolis. I really think it did something to help with making two and having them be big!!!! I told the nurse she said she has heard of others taking this aw well. we figure we have two chances this month. Come on

My coworkers and close friends know. We haven't told family. The only reason I told my two coworkers is so they don't wonder about all the appointments or all the days I come in a bit depressed - which are becoming more and more.

My girlfriends have now all gotten pregnant before me so even though they know Im starting to isolate myself a bit because it's just too upsetting.

When did you girls start telling everyone? I'll be 31 this week so I know everyone is wondering.

 

[Tanzibar83]

Hey girls, has anyone got an update? I got a BFP which I'm still in shock about! Xxx

 

[RM_Wife]

Hey girls, has anyone got an update? I got a BFP which I'm still in shock about! Xxx

Massive congratulations to you. I am on my second cycle of Clomid. I am really hopeful about this cycle but trying to not get my hopes up too much as I don't want to be let down. Hopefully I, and many others, will be able to follow you with the BFP soon! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy! xx

Congratulations!!!!

Gives the rest of us some hope. Besides Clomid, anything else you did differently?

 

[Tanzibar83]

Rm_Wife - I really hope the clomid works for you this time round, how many rounds have you been put on?

wonderstars - thanks, things I did differently were:

sex 12 hours apart on the fertile days
stayed in bed for at least 30 minutes afterwards with pillow under my bum to keep it elevated
avoided green tea and all herbal teas, stuck to purely decaf
cut back on supplements, just kept it to EPO, omega 3 and folic acid
ate a lot of grapefruit between ovulation and test day (I seem to have gone off it now...gutted!)
no symptom spotting at all (I just couldn't be bothered updating my daily thoughts and activities on FF)


I know most of those might not have played a part in conception but thats what I can recall hubby and I did xxxx

We are at about 15 months, honestly, last cycle I was so positive I was pregnant. AF then showed up and it devasted me to the point where I've given up. Sorry to be so negative, I'm just at a loss.

 

[Tanzibar83]

aintlifegrand - sorry to hear you're feeling bummed out. Have you tried alternate therapies? my friend on here went to see a kinesiologist who did all these non painful tests on her arms and legs (which helped them determine what foods are best for her) but they also told her she had a mental block with TTC. I'm not sure if she's pregnant yet but it sounds like it's good for giving you a positive booster.

 

[MsShona]

I'm on month 13 (16 cycles)...with no hint of a bfp. I've never tested though. But that's because I refuse to test unless I miss . With me, I start cramping about 24 hours before I see any blood, so I have yet to even buy a test because AF comes all the time, right on time!

 

[sarahlou1985]

I'm on month 30/31 with never a single BFP. We are unexplained

 

[Chcltbnny]

I am a little more than 2 years of trying and loosing the will to try again. Last month I was 2 days late for AF (and I am clockwork with AF), but I knew that I was not pregnant. It is so sad when you don't even get excited anymore because you fear the disappointment that always comes.

But that is where I am...

Hi all.
Too bad we have to be posting in this forum. I am TTC at 15 months now, but NTNP for a couple of years. not one single
This cycle (currently on CD17) was my first on clomid which i took 50mg days 2-6, and am charting for the first time ever. So far, no O'ing for me!
Because of my PCOS and i have heard that PCOS combined with Clomid can make you O (if at all) on CD18-20 or later. so my blood test i was supposed to take on CD21 i am putting off for a few days.
Sigh. Most women who can decide to have a baby and fall pg by their third or fourth cycle make me sick

 

[Damita]

Forgot to update for me on cycle 3 of clomid - little miss is 7 months old now.

to you all
