we have been ttc for over 3 years. i have tried the cbfm with no luck. every month is the same disappointment it so frustrating. we are going through the first stages of tests but all seem ok. one month i did not ovulate but i hear that is common. can anyone give me any advice?
 
A lot of people here try pre-seed and soft cups to help keep the sperm near the egg.

I'm sure someone will come along with a better answer for you though

good luck!! :dust: :dust:
 
Sorry to butt in but what are soft cups? I'm trying pre-seed this month for the first time- but I keep hearing about soft cups. Where can I get them?
Lady T I've heard that it is normal to miss an ovultion every 3/4 months. I've been tested for ovulation once and it said I did ovulte but I am 100% sure I haven't ovulated on a couple of occassions as I usually get a slight sharp pain when I ovulate.

Soft cups are things u tend to put in right after u have sex. I have read though that these can be dangerous and can cause infection. As your trapping the sperm in your body and sperm is a foreign body and your body has to get rid of some of it thats why sometimes after sex you tend to feel more wet down there (TMI) i wouldn't use these tho i just worry that they can do more harm then good. xx

these are the soft cups

I can totally sympathise with you. We started ttcing in 2003 and at the end of 2005 started all the tests. Everything came back normal and we were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. That didn't help me one bit. How do you fix something if nothing is broken.

Even though I was ovulating, I ovulated late in the cycle around CD30, so I was put on clomid for 6 cycles. I conceived on cycles 1, 4 and 6. Unfortunately, the first 2 ended in early miscarriage and the final one was ectopic and I lost my right fallopian tube. After the miscarriages I was checked for possible causes but again nothing conclusive came back and my specialist thought we were unlucky - you can say that again.

In October 2008 we had IVF and was lucky enough to be successful first time and had our miracle daughter in July 2009.

We tried everything, diet, vitamins, preseed, I think if someone had said to stand on my head and chant for 20 minutes I would have. The only advice I have is don't let it control your life and damage your relationship with your partner. We very nearly split up because of how it affected my life, our sex life was mechanical at best and all my time, spare cash and energy went on getting pregnant.

Fingers crossed that one month soon you will have that elusive BFP

Hi LadyT- it is frustrating to be trying so long! I am sure you are doing everything you can but wanted to ask anyway if you do all the ttc best practices people suggest on here? Charting, tracking your CM and CP, temping, opks, avoiding caffeine/alcohol/tobacco, etc? If you are doing it all and your tests come out okay it seems like your time should be arriving any day now! I am hoping for you!:flower:
 
Hi, I totally sympathise. We have been ttc for nearly 3 years now and its heartbreaking. Every cycle ends the same - with that stupid witch!!! I try to keep positive although it is hard at times. I had a progesterone test done which says i'm ovulating, i've never had any stds so theres no risk of damaged tubes or anything, so i'm just trying a cocktail of different things to try to help. lol.

I'm waiting for an appointment for an ultrasound scan to check my uterus for any abnormalities, but my doctor wants me to wait another 6 months before putting me forward for laposcopy and then depending on the results of that put me forward for IVF - 6 months!!!!! He says it like its no time at all but for me that is an eternity!!!!

This month I'm taking folic acid, Evening Primrose Oil and 75mg aspirin, and am using conceive plus and softcups. I never ever notice any EWCM so i'm hoping the Evening Primrose Oil and Conceive Plus will help me get my BFP this month.

Fingers crossed.
 
:hugs: i can totally sympathse with you hunni, the end of this current cycle marks 2 years of TTC for me!. i know how frustrating it gets month after month of false expectations and disappointment!

Have you tryed Pre-seed, Softcups & SMEP??
 
You will be fine hun!! i wouldnt use softcups but maybe Preseed might be a good one!!
