Calling LTTTC#1 buddies for July!

[Myshelsong]

We also tried a friendly lube this month so hoping that is all it takes!

Fingers crossed for lube babies

 

[Serenyx]

New this month: pre-seed & soft cups! Fingers crossed!!!

We have just started using both of these this cycle too

 

[readytostart]

hi everyone! You ladies are all so amazing, the hope and positivity in this thread is so encouraging. AF showed her ugly face on Monday, it was a pretty hard couple of days. I came on here to 'catch up' and I am filled with hope for all of us again! Amazing! My DH refused to get his test done this week which was quite frustrating, however he has promised me he will go next Tuesday...he better!

Good luck to everyone! I am so glad to hear about all the blooming eggies!!!!!!

Welcome! We've also been TTC since Jan '11, I see in your sig. This will be a good month, welcome aboard! Sounds like we're all at slightly different phases in the cycle, but all understand no matter which day you're at

...I also recall bringing up HIS test. The gentle nudging, the less-than gentle nudging, then finally, weeks (ok maybe months) later he asked while I was crying about who-knows-what totally unrelated to TTC... "how can I help you? I don't know what I can do?" and my hormones apparently decided to rage- no, mosh pit- at that moment and I yelled at him "You want to help? Go cum in a cup, get over it, bring it into the f*ing cinic already"! Poor guy!!! I never talk to him like that; I was a mess. But, it worked, he got tested, and it all worked out. I very sincerely hope that he understands how important it is to you without the blow-up that we had to go through. Yikes! That was rough times.

Very happy to have you along, excited to hear how your month goes!!!

LOL! OMG that is hilarious. I mean, I know it wasn't at the time, but it is now. Here we are going through a million invasive tests and ultrasounds and they act like it's the worst thing in the world to get one stupid SA. As my husband likes to say, "Nut up, Buttercup!".

Anyway, Readytostart and any OHs that are having trouble going in for their SA, have them read this:
https://hopelesslyttc.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/a-guys-guide-to-if-part-5/

I think it takes the scariness away from the process to know that other guys really are doing it and what it's really like.

 

[Myshelsong]

I am pretty sure I had the same conversation!!!! He smartened up pretty quickly after I blew up that is for sure. Good for you.

I just dont understand why they dont listen to us the first time. I wouldnt have to yell at you if you just did what I said when I said it! OMG I am my Mother ...

 

[readytostart]

Thanks everyone! He again said today that he would go on Tuesday! Yay that's progress. We should know by next Wednesday what we are working with! after 2.5 years it will be so nice to know!!!

Fingers crossed for Spring 2014 babies!

 

[snickersbar]

Hi everyone, can I join? I'm on CD1 today (again ) and definitely need some moral support to keep going!!

I'm in my thirties, I live in Surrey in the UK and I've been trying since Feb/March last year and never had a single bfp!

Off to finish the rest of the thread now....

 

[Tulips19]

Hi everyone, I hope everyone has had a great couple of days! Welcome to the new joiners to this thread. This month is flying by! How is everyone doing?
DH and I are back from our separate travels, and I didn't miss my 'O'! On Thursday I started noticing some EWCM and then tons of it on Friday. And then today I got a peak on my CBFM at cd18! Woohoo! I was kinda thinking that even with the clomid I would 'O' later than cd13 or cd14 since I have a 35 day cycle. So going to BD again today and then tomorrow or the next day.
DH and I got into it Friday night a little because he says I am making things too technical and too much pressure. I burst into tears and just told him I know I am putting pressure, but I was just so excited that we have a real shot at this finally. I guess telling him all about my cervical mucus is not much of a turn on. Or maybe it was telling him that I had five follicles growing and all he could envision was becoming octomom. He is very excited to become a dad, but also completely terrified. After a long talk we decided that I will try to dial back the crazy and he will try to be a little more understanding and cooperative. Between our bodies issues and DHs, TTC is just draining!

So for now, just letting my crazy flag fly here!!

 

[Kat S]

Tulips, yes, I totally understand you! I can't talk to my husband or most anyone I know about any of this because...well...they don't understand like you guys do.

Glad you and DH got things managed and good luck catching your egg!!

Thanks! And you are absolutely right about no one understanding but other ladies TTCing! No one gets my crazy like you ladies!

Speaking of crazy, last night I began to lose my positive mental attitude . I realized the symptoms I'd been having (and pre af symptoms that failed to appear) really were a coincidence caused by switching to Femara. I don't feel pregnant. No sore boobs or cramps or any of the great symptoms I read about. I just know that tomorrow is going to show BFN.

 

[Myshelsong]

Feeling out. Temp dropped crazy this morning now just waiting for af.

Also had a talk with Dh and we both agreed two more cycles than a big break. Finally got my fs referral since my lap showed I am fine so taking it to the next level but such a long wait. 6 to 9 months!

 

[cali_kt]

:wave: Hi all,
Thanks for the welcome. Been MIA--death in the family. Tried taking Soy this month and I am already having O pains but neg OPK.
Waiting to hear back from my clinic on our upcoming plan...as I have been avoiding that topic.
Baby dust to you all.

That is a really long wait. Sorry to hear that.

 

[Kat S]

Myshelsong, I'm so sorry you had a temp dip. I don't suppose that could be an implantation dip, could it? I hope so! I can't believe you have to wait so long to see a FS! Maybe you'll get a miracle while you wait.

Cali_kt, sorry about your loss
Glad the soy seems to be doing the trick Keep us updated!

Thanks! Curious to see what effect it takes. I am actually keeping track of my temps for the first time in about a year.

Got AF at work, thumbs down but I didnt have any pre-spotting so maybe my vitamins are doing something. Or the Lap, who knows.

Cali - FX for a Soy baby!Going to try Soy this month as well. Starting 2DPO @100mg in hopes it will give me more eggs and more mature eggs. Or maybe day 3 havent decided yet. I do Ovulate on my own but think that maybe eggs are too small .... not sure but going to try for 2 months while waiting for FS.
and YES IT IS SUCH A LONG WAIT!

I ovulate on my own too, but I will try anything to increase my odds!!

I'm out.

God, that was IUI #6 and I'm 41. What the hell else can I do?? We can't afford IVF and adoption is even more expensive. I wonder if this journey is over.
