Anyone TTC #1 and 30 or older?

[jtr2803]

Kat, I think sometimes people just get so wrapped up in their own little world they give no thought to anyone not a fortunate as themselves. Its so easy to just assume everyone gets pregnant easily unless you, or someone you know, has been in that position and you've seen first hand view devastating it can be.

I'm glad you've got a referral ireadyermind, hopefully you won't need it but at least the wheels are in motion if you do.

I had my pelvic scan this morning and learnt I have a retroverted uterus and no fibroids or cysts. My lining was just below the normal thickness and I'd literally ovulated about an hour or so before the scan, she showed me the follicle and ruptured ovary! I haven't ovulated this early since my iud was removed but when it was in I used to get ovulation pain every 28 days without fail so maybe that's what I'm slowly settling back to?

Managed to bd o, o-1 and o-2 so hoping that's enough

Oooh that is so neat!! I wish I could get scans all the time just to see what's going on in there. Hm retroverted uterus. I think I read on some random threads a woman who had retroverted uterus and was having trouble TTC. Then her MIL, who had the same thing, told her to sit with her butt in the sky after BD (like opposite of everyone else who lie with legs up). And she said that worked! heheh

I just tried to picture doing this and had an image of myself doing "bridges" (like I do when I'm working out) after sex and now I can't stop laughing at the image!

KatO: Heh I'm guessing they mean that after babies they won't have the opportunity to get their nails done anymore? I get that though, it's like 0th world problems. At the same time, who knows maybe they didn't have a super easy time of it either and pregnancy itself for some can be rather hard as well. I think we all deserve pampering and no one deserves it anymore than anyone else; everyone's struggles are different and no one can say what is worse or better.

It reminds me of this weekend my hairdresser was talking about her 7 mo. old daughter and how much work it is and I was thinking well at least you have a daughter. But then I realized that a lot of things can happen to kids and it will be a new kind of struggle by then.

I trust it'll happen for you KatO, and it will be so worth it when it does. Good luck for the stimming this cycle

Well the competition is a buying spree and doesn't include anyone doing your nails. So just going into a store, throw 36 OPI nail polishes in a basket (I did the math) and go. I'm sure they can handle buying polish? In my experience people that write that way have not been through a struggle getting pregnant plus they looked pretty young so it seems very unlikely to me.

Awww sorry your hairdresser kept going on and on. I totally get it can be difficult to be pregnant and have kids but I think it'll always be much worse for me this struggle and still having concerns I may never get pregnant I've mentioned my struggle to my hairdresser and she's been pretty understanding. She's super excited about me starting IVF and says she can't wait until I come in again so she can hear how it went.

Thank you so much I hope you're right, I really do

I've used Preseed also. It's not a product that guarantees you'll get pregnant, it's just less likely to kill sperm in comparison to other lubes that aren't designed for folks who are TTC.

It's just for when you need to BD but can't build up enough 'wet' for things to run smoothly and need a little help.

DH and I use it from time to time, but not EVERY time.


Some news for me: Saw my GYN today and she said that now that DH and I are TTC for a year+, she's referring us to a specialist. I'm half excited, half sad about that.

Excited because I hear good things about metformin, clomid, etc. -- in fact, my SIL got pregnant with triplets after seeing a specialist (yikes!) -- but sad because it means it could be years and years more before DH and I get our sticky BFP.

I suppose we'll see how things pan out.

Awww hope things go quickly for you and you're starting some form of treatment before you know it

Yeah I'm sure that's it but it's still hurtful to read stuff like that Although they have shown a program about couples having issues conceiving and have been having a campaign to get more people in their 20s to have babies due to fertility declining the older you get. But I guess they don't follow national current events? Although I'd say even people that know someone going through infertility don't always get it either. My MIL will never really get it since she was advocating relaxation and positive thinking before DH asked her to stop. DH's friends show no interest and have abandoned us for being childless and they all have 1-2 children.

Oh don't know much about retroverted uteruses although I know what it is. Does it making conceiving more difficult? Hopefully you Oing shows that your cycles are getting back to that?

jtr2803 - Wow, that had to be awesome to see! And it had to feel good, emotionally, to know that you're for sure ovulating and that you and your SO got down to business on the days leading up to it! Haha

KatO79 - Thanks. I hope we have answers soon!


Well gals, today's 15dpo and no sign of AF yet! She's due today, usually by midday or evening, but my temp's still high, no cramps, no spotting... Bah. I wish I knew what was going on already! If there's no AF by the end of the night, I am testing first thing in the morning...!

It'd be really lame if this was just going to be a long LP for me or something. I had one that was 17 days once.

Hahaha oh nono quite the opposite of bridge. More like child's pose, but with butt even higher? Which is an even sillier pose

Ooh FX haha 17 day is annoying, because 18 days is supposed to be a sure sign of pregnancy so 17 days is just shy of that. It's like your body's trying to fake you out. But hopefully this cycle won't be like that.

OMG I can see it now, "wow, that was great! I'm so happy and relaxed.....let me flip over here and do some downward dog yoga pose while basking in my post-BD glow.." My DH would lose it!

Hey I have a retroverted uterus and when we were finally successful is when I mixed in some butt-in-the-air poses after dtd! it's easy if you finish doggie style lol

 

[Ltweety]

Hello,
New to this forum, but thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm 32, dh 47 and we have been TTC for 13mos.
I've had two pregnancies in that time

1st Decemer/January 2014/2015-miscarriage at 5 wks.
2nd September/Otober 2015- diagnosed ectopic at 5 1/2 weeks.

I am currently waiting for my HCG levels to come back to normal so I can ovulate again, but finally feeling hopeful again and ready to join the ttc community!

Hi ladies!

 

[ireadyermind]

Welcome, Ltweety!



I'm at 16dpo today gals, and no sign of AF. Had a questionable HPT result yesterday (can't decide if evap or faint pos since it showed up outside the 3 minute window), but my temps are still above the cover line. Frustrating!

I ordered more HPTs since I ran out. They'll be here Friday. Here's hoping AF is a no-show and I get a BFP instead! Wouldn't that be nice, getting a BFP the same month we're referred to a specialist?

That would be so great!! FX for you!
How long is your LP usually?

 

[ireadyermind]

Usually 15 days. Longest ever was 17 days, and last time I got a BFP, it didn't show until 3 days late. It's 9pm-ish right now and still no signs of AF. Hmmmmm.

 

[KatO79]

Welcome Ltweety Sorry about your MC and ectopic I hope you get your sticky rainbow bean soon

AFM did I mention we're house hunting? Saw a house last Friday and are planning on seeing a few more. DH just has to call the realtor and ask him if he has a few more like the one we saw closer to the closest "city." I do hope that we get our BFP before we have to move since moving would involve the commute to the hospital and back would be almost 1 hour each way.

 

[ireadyermind]

Well, AF got me with a sneak attack this morning! No cramps, no sore BBs, none of my usual PMS -- and late by two days now. I was starting to get excited!

Looks like it's onward with the RE for us. I might go back to taking Vitex, since the only other time I took it, I ended up with a BFP. But I'm thinking I need to wait and see what the RE says. We're supposed to get our initial paperwork by mail in a few days.

KatO79 - Good luck house hunting! I always find it to be a strange mix of excitement and stress. Hopefully it doesn't do anything to mess up your cycle!

 

[jtr2803]

I'm sorry to read about af ireadyermind, I hope that the re referral comes through quickly for you and you can progress.

Good luck house hunting kat, we bought our house in April and are still in the middle of of trying to decorate

Welcome ltweety, sorry to read if your losses

 

[MKaykes]

aww, sorry ireadyermind! It was looking promising for you, hopefully the RE can help you out!

Yay for new houses! We moved into a new house 2 months ago and are still filling up rooms...I have plenty of "junk" but really am ready to get our guest room situated and such...we already have a room that is perfectly painted for a baby - right across from our room! It is so stressful though! We are selling our old condo - and are supposed to close on the sale tomorrow and hit some MAJOR bumps in the road yesterday and today, so hoping it all goes smooth. I'm hoping this stress doesn't hurt our changes this TWW...trying to stay calm and planning on a good yoga session tonight when I finally get home from work.

 

[Hollynesss]

Hi girls! I know I don't pop in here much anymore, but I just wanted to share this with you! Our timing was awful this cycle and we only got in one BD session, but somehow, after 16 months of TTC (10 active months) I finally got my very first bfp!! I couldn't be happier! There is hope, ladies!!!! Never give up

 

[drjo718]

Holly!! Congrats!!!
