Anyone testing around 7th November

[Tanzibar83]

Hey girls,

Feel free to slap my hand and tell me I'm in the wrong place but I'm wanting to see if any of you LTTC'ers are in your tww currently? I usually post in the 2ww forum but this cycle I'm really just wanting to buddy with girls who've never been pregnant\never had a 2nd line ever. Sorry to sound so specific but it's very stressful to buddy up with people who have kids\miscarried and see them get a BFP before me. as selfish as that seems I really just need to be round the same type of people as myself.

Anyone want to buddy on up?

Hi there. I'm due to test Nov 7th. I know what you mean about wanting to be around people like yourself. I was a member of a group of wonderful women, but eventually they all got their BFPs and now I'm the only one left.

So tell me a little about yourself.... I'm 33, and we've been TTC for about 26 months...there's more info in my journal.

Hey ladies- I'm in the same boat! In the middle of my 2ww and just hoping and praying that this is my month. I have been TTC for over 3 years and I have never seen a positive hpt. Hoping that this is the month for us all!

Hey Lucie73821 - a little about me then. I'm 27, hubby is 24 (he's my toy boy ). Been TTC for 14 months, had really long cycles throughout this time (50+ days) 9 months into trying I went to the docs and told him a porky (told him that we'd been trying for a whole year!) bad me!

So we got referred to a Gyn who checked hubbys SA which is good. They booked me in for a hycosy and during the ultrasound they found a 6cm blood blister (endometrium on my left ovary). So at the follow up appointment the doc said either way I'll need surgery but for now he's put me on clomid, this cycle is currently my 2nd round...so thats where I'm at!

will go have a look at your journal So how long is your LP usually?

Hey Chels710 - wow 3 years, you'll have to tell me more about your story. How do you cope month after month

 

[Lucie73821]

Hi Chels....2 years has been difficult enough...I can't imagine how three years must feel. Here's hoping this is our lucky month!

 

[Chels710]

Thanks ladies. As you can imagine, I feel like I have waited forever to get my bfp. For the first two years I couldn't get an appointment to see an FS. I think that because I look younger than I am (usually something I'm grateful for) my doctor just kept telling to "give it more time." Also, my gp kept changing and I never had any idea who I was going to see. I finally had to go in and tell them "Look, I'm not 16! I have a college degree and a good paying job and my husband does as well. I am not able to get pregnant and I need you to tell me why!" That sure got them off their asses! I had surgery to remove a polyp in August and this is my first clomid cycle since then. I'm really hoping that this is my chance, that I finally get my bfp. However, I'm not feeling very optimistic this cycle. Not a whole lot of symptoms and I'm already 10dpo.

How about you ladies, how are you all doing? Any symptoms?

 

[Tanzibar83]

Hey Chels710 - as much as I'm tempted to symptom spot I've been trying my hardest not too! I don't really have anything useful to report back on, I'm feeling really tired in the evenings but I think with the clocks changing thats probably just messed up my body clock. I have high temps every morning but no niggly twinges or aches down below (I'm hoping maybe the clomid has just de-sensitized my body).

Sorry to hear you've had a bad time with the doctors, I think sometimes they tend to generalise people and don't take into consideration unique cases. I hate the fact you're supposed to wait a whole year before you can be referred to a Gyn - what if there's something seriously wrong with you which won't get diagnosed til then??

Bah, if I won the euro millions I would probably invest 95% of the cash into getting every single fertility question out there answered!

Keep your chin up, I know it's hard to but try and let yourself get mopey when AF is here, least then you have a definitive reason to binge on chocolate and wine

Hope the 1st round of clomid works for you

Tanzibar- love your new avatar pic! Very festive!

It gets so much harder not to test when we get higher into the double digits. I'm 12dpo and it's so tempting, every morning to pull out an hpt. The only thing that keeps me from doing it is seeing a BFN. My DH thinks I'm crazy, that I should just test, but he doesn't understand that it's much harder to see a negative test than it is to just get AF. Also, pretty sure I'll be out tomorrow. Still hoping you are in the game!

Fingers crossed and sending lots of baby dust!!

 

[Tanzibar83]

Chels710 - well done for not testing yet, how have you been feeling? can you imagine if it were the men carrying babies,they'd be peeing on sticks all day long!!!

My back is really sore this morning,has been for the past few days actually. Boobs finally hurt,yay but it could mean nothing. hope Sunday gets here pronto!

 

[Lucie73821]

I'm out. AF arrived today.

 

[Tanzibar83]

aww Lucie, sorry to hear that, did you feel that she'd be arriving? she sure has come early this cycle.

Congrats Tanz!! I have yet to get a BFP. Been ttc for 4 years. This month is seeming hopeful though. I am 2 days late with none of my usual pre-af symptoms! But, still getting BFN's. I will wait til Wednesday (our 4 year anniversary) and try again! If still neg, then I am not going to test anymore. Too disappointing.
