Anyone TTC more than 1 year? Looking for buddies!!!

[kdutra]

Hey Emaskew,

Same type of symptoms White thick CM, my BB and nips have never been this soar or big. My husband even noticed last night. I have been feeling really nausous more then usual it seems. I think im 7dpo. I just want it to be time to test so i know. This TWW stuff really sucks and just is an emotional roller coaster!!

It really stinks that you got a faint possitive then a negative, there is nothing worse then becomeing so excited to be shot down. Well you still tested early so we both still have good chances! Any new symptoms for you today?

Hello ladies!!!! Just a quick question....have you guys started on Clomid? if so, when does your doctor decide to go this direction? Is there something specifically the doc looks for in blood work? just from having been trying to conceive a year with no success?
Just didn't know what questions to ask my doc next!!! Cheers girls!

 

[kdutra]

Trist, I just started my first round of clomid. It was my first time seeing a fertility doctor, he took blood to make sure my thyroid and other levels were ok. My problem was i wasnt ovulateing or having periods regularly. He presribed provera for 10 days to start my period, then clomid for cd5-9. Seens how i had been trying for a year now this was the next step. Has your doctor mentioned this to you yet?

 

[Trist]

I have a referral into see the fertility MD. The thing is that I have fairly regular cycles (26-28 days) and initial blood work has come back normal. DH got tested and things seem not too bad from his end! So, good things seem 'normal' but bad because i don't want to be one with 'unexplained infertility'!

Hope things work out for you!!!!!

 

[kdutra]

Thats exactly how my DH and I are! Ask to be started on clomid they will probably start you on 50mg. thats what i had and its my first round!! Good luck keep me posted, or ill probably just watch for postings from you lol

 

[Trist]

For Sure!!!!!!!!!! When do you test? I just got my temp spike today so guess i'm in the entering the TWW phase

We have been ttc for over a year now and we are just waiting for my oh Sa results to come back in just under 2 weeks. We did fall pregnant in december but lost it a week later. My doc said she would start the tests anyway as I was so worried that was the one in a million chance I had or something.

To be honest, things are getting harder and harder every month. I find myself crying most days now and seem to be on a downward spiral with it all but I can't seem to help it, I can't relax or forget about it coz it's all I want in life, it has been for many many years, I just had to wait for my oh to get to the same place. It is upsetting for him too, we both worry that it is one of us causing the others unhappiness!!! In a way I wish we had never used any form of contraception in all the time we've been together, it would have saved all this heartache!!! X x

 

[Trist]

I completely understand where you are coming from. I'm definately at that stage in life where all my girlfriends are having children and as happy as you are for them it really hurts the heart! I've really just tried to accept what will be will be...this is a chapter in your life's story and they are not all meant to be happy ones. These lessons really make you into the person you were destined to be!! I have really stopped putting my life on hold because of TTC and thinking negative thoughts. I was totally there!! I've really changed my attitude towards this process and it has definately helped. Its not perfect but I definately was playing a 'victim of infertility' and feeling helpless. I have really bad days still but I'm trying to live in the moment everyday!

Hang in there!!! I totally get it....big hugs

 

[kdutra]

Trist, Im supposed to test on the 20th of May im not sure if i will make it till them. I really want to today!! lol but its too early. when do you test?

 

[Trist]

umm, I think around the 24th...I went crazy with my testing last month (the problem with IC's!!) so i was finding myself analyzing evap lines WAY too much!! so I'm really going to try to be good and wait (at least until a day before or so!)

 

[kdutra]

Good luck, Im just not a patient person so its very very very hard!

 

[chuichi]

Hi all, we've been trying for around 1.5 years now, and still nothing!!

We were told conflicting info by doctors... 1 told us to do BBT and OPKs, but the other said no to all of this.

The 2nd doctor said the more you do this, the more frustrated you get, because when you think you've Ov'd you'd go mad and say OK let's do it tonight, etc etc and you cannot enjoy the process...

So for the past half year or so I've stopped BBT and OPKs...

Anyway, I'm looking for a buddy too! Because this has been an extremely long journey and I have absolutely no idea when we'll get there......

 

[Aliciatm]

ive been ttc my first for 5 years.....

 

[kdutra]

Chuichi, so your doctor hasnt started you on clomid or any other type of ovulation enducing meds? Yes i understand at the year mark, trying to plan and coordinate BD'ing becomes more so a tast then spur of the moment enjoyment. Keep your hopes up!

Aliciatm, Hun im sorry its taking you so long to concieve but just try to focus on when you finally do get PG you will just be beside yourself it will have been something that you worked so hard for and are finally getting .Keep your hopes up too!!

 

[Emaskew]

Kdutra hows it going???

well think im out for this month which is rubbish!!! checked my cp and there was blood mixed with cm

Checking CM every 30mins (wish i was joking but unfortunately im not!!!) still small amount of blood cm mix.....

my temp dropped today as well!!! this is really strange for me i never get spotting before Af it just all or nothing... very strange. I have some AF feelings certainly not AF pains though.... well its nearly the end of the day so i will be very confused if the full flow does not appear soon as this is not how my boy rolls!!!


hope all you ladies are having a better tww xxxx

 

[Mabythistime]

Emaskew, not really a better 2WW. Been TTC for 2 years. 2WW does not want to finish. I was already due for AF 2 - 3 days ago and no signs....oh only a :BFN: , but thats nothing new for me.

Just hoping for AF to show so I can start again. I am looking forward to my first month of BBT-ing and OPK. So there is the frustration...bought the OPK, and Thermometer and here I am: waiting.

Sometimes it takes long, but stay positive, our time will come. xx

 

[kdutra]

Emaskew, Im good, I think 7DPO now. I want to test so bad! Yesterday all day i had a terrible metal mouth all day i couldnt even taste food. And little nausious spells. We shall see. I want to test today but i know i have to wait. When will you test? Dont feel negative maybe its implantation bleed that you are seeing??! Stay hopefull!

 

[Emaskew]

thanks honey but its hard, didnt think imp bleed would be this late 11dpo??

You sound hopeful though.. ooh it could be your month fx what other symptoms to you have.. has your temps stayed high???

xxx ooh baby dust to you xxxx

Mabythistime - i know what you mean, if this is my AF id rather it get on with it so i can look forward to next month...

Temping has definitely helped me, Charting CM has always been hit and miss whereas the temp is such a definite result. you never know no Af could mean you have a bean in there that just hasnt got enough to show up on tests yet. fX either way for you i know how stressful waiting around is x x x

 

[kdutra]

I havent been charting my temps this month i thought about starting that next month. I did check it the last three days and its been 84.4 and today it went up to 84.7 im not quiet sure what that means though.
Symptoms
Metal mouth
creamy CM
little nausiouc spells
my BB are so huge and nips are extreamly sore
tired
bloated feeling
twinges
little sharp pains brief once and a while near my ovary

Im just trying to be possitive this month!!!

 

[Emaskew]

When do you think you will test, your being very restrained i know i wouldnt be!!!xx
