{CLOSED} All we want for Christmas is a BFP!!

Stalking.

Here's my story. I'm 30, DH just turned 31. I'm an RN in a level 1 trauma center. DH is a deputy. We've been together nearly 10 years total. We married in May of 2012. We began TTC the end of August 2012 and got our bfp after 13 cycles. We did 2 cycles of clomid, and I'm grateful we got our bfp on the second bc my doc only wanted me to do 3 then move on to something more invasive. I was told unexplained infertility but part of it was I had a low amh, high fsh, and only 9 follicles total. So grateful that we are expecting our first baby girl in April
 
Marie - I'm sure you are exhausted from the hcg. I know that was my main symptom. It's in your body so I'm sure it causes the same response as if you were preggo.
 
My story: I'm Amanda, i am 22, OH is 26. We are not currently trying after difficulties with unexplained Male Factor Infertility (MFI). We're putting TTC on hold to focus on our relationship right now.
 
Hello everyone, my name is Kayla and I am Nichole's friend from MFP. Nichole and I started chatting on MFP and we realized that we have a lot more in common than just our desire to drop pounds.


Here is a little (ok now that I am done typing I noticed it was actually a lot) about me. I am 26 and my DH is 25. We started dating Nov. of 2005 and we both went to Iowa State together, got engaged in Oct. of 2009, and then got married in June of 2011. We are currently the parents of 2 cats and a dog. We started TTC our first baby in Jan of 2012. We had no luck but kept trying for a year, I tried everything I could think of- we used every kind of fertility monitor, ovulation predictor, temperature readings, etc. I decided it was time to talk to my doctor. They tried putting me on different birth control pills and then taking me back off of them to see if that would increase my odds but after trying that and being unsuccessful it was time to move on to a new doc. In late April my husband and I both had everything tested and his tests came back with great results and mine came back mediocre. In June I started my first round of 50 mg clomid and that did nothing so we bumped it up and tried it again at 100 mg in July, I was able to get pregnant but miscarried late August. My doc wanted me to wait 2 cycles before I started clomid again. We are now on our round of 100 mg of clomid this month, we get to test in 6 days.


Thanks again for letting me into this group. I really appreciate it.
 
I just turned 27, hubby is 31. We were together since 2007 and married June 2011. Stopped BCP January, 1 2012. Had irregular periods periods thru September .. the dr said PCOS. I ate a low carb diet and lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks. Found out I was pregnant in late October. Perfect pregnancy. Induced at 309 wks 1 day due to having it hypertension as a precaution. Went in onthe Monday night, andMy water broke Tuesday night. I was bleeding and rushed off for an emergency c-section under general anesthesia. When I woke up, they told me my precious little guy didn't make it. Thwy had tried to bring him back for 25 minutes, but he was gone. So here i am, TTC again. This is cycle #5. Still have PCOS. Taking clomid and praying.
 
Glad to see you here Kayla! My doc wanted me to do the birth control thing too but I vetoed it. BC always had a negative effect on me. I am on my 4th round of clomid now with 2 more left. I've never been pregnant so I don't even know if it's even possible for me.

I have 2 cats and a dog too :thumbup:. My cats are freaking crazy but I love them.

I hope you like it here and find all of these lovely ladies helpful and supportive. I don't know how I could deal with this TTC journey with out them.
 
Welcome Kayla!

STG, we are BDing ;-)

Rachel, I wouldn't mind if the symptoms don't go away ;-)
 
Thanks for your support ladies. I appreciate it. I'm absolutely praying for a BFP this cycle. I'm tempted to stop temping, but I kinda like knowing when to expect AF. I've been struggling the last couple of days with Thanksgiving and my birthday. It's gonna get better. I just feel like a BFP is going to be a big healer for me.. well as long as it progresses okay. And probably for hubby, too. He's just better at hiding it. Christmas is going to be tough any way we chop it.. it's the 6 month anniversary, but I volunteered to host dinner so I don't have time to be sad. Sorry I'm rambling so much tonight.. you ladies are wonderful, and I can't imagine that I'd have survived this far without you all.

PS: Sorry for my terrible typing/grammar in my earlier post. I was on my phone, and it jacks it all up.
 
Welcome Kayla! So this is your 1st cycle of 100mg clomid since waiting 2 cycles since the mc right?? Haha jw. Good luck sweetie! We are all here for you and I'm glad you found us bc boy, as you know, sometimes TTC can kick your butt ;)

My backstory.. We're the youngest here I'm sure but been through some hell in the last year. DH (21) and I (20) are both from a little poedunk town in Ohio & were high school sweethearts.. he dropped out of college bc he snuck home to see me so often ;) I had a full ride and was in nursing school at Capitol U. So we moved in together, planned to marry, but baby came first (not a surprise! lol). I quit and stayed at home (this was all last year) while he worked full time. We found out we had a little BOY on the way!! Named him Jaxon Aaron, he was due April 30th of this year.

March 29th we were in a horrific car accident, DH broke 9 bones and floated in and out of consciousness for a week. I had not a scratch on me, somehow, and pulled him from the car at 37 weeks pregnant. I guess upon collision my placenta detached (causing my cord to run dry, giving Jaxon NO oxygen) but doctors didn't figure this out until I had been at the hospital for over 3 hours (and been transported an hour) and his heartbeat became very irregular.. So emergency c-section it was. I met my baby, saw him move for about an hour before the brain bleeding set in so bad that he became lifeless. I knew him as a "sleeping" baby for 12 days. We slept in the NICU, never left a second after we were discharged for our injuries. We were also married in the NICU on April 2nd, DH proposed to me in my hospital bed. It was extremely bittersweet, but something I am so happy we did. Jaxon was lying on daddy's chest (he was wheeled into the NICU on a bed) and we had a quiet little tearful ceremony with a packed room of the ones we loved. I am so glad we did it with our little man.

April 10th doctors came running in and took him from my chest, thought his breathing tube may be out but it was discovered that his vitals were simply plummeting bc he just gave up. We pulled out his breathing tube and he passed in our arms. We left the hospital an hour later, with empty arms, and it was BRUTAL.

We miss our little angel every day. Decided to TTC again a few mos later.. When I met these fabulous girls. It took us about 5 cycles to get here, but ended up conceiving THE EXACT SAME DAY.. One year later.. Making me due, once again, April 30th 2014. I still can't believe how dang lucky we are. So, so lucky.. And I believe God blessed us with this child to help us heal. We found out a month ago, "it's" a SHE! And we named her Marley. And I love this little bean to death and am thankful every moment of every day that we are where we are. I don't think I'd ever have been the woman I am today without going through what we did.. We simply value life a million times more than before and I'm so glad I learned that being so young.. Maybe I'll get a bit more out of my short life than the average girl. And for that I thank my little angel baby.

With thattttt being said, anatomy scan on Thursday. Excited to see how she's doing in there :)

Welcome Kayla!! Hoping you get your rainbow BFP soon!!!!

Same to you Sandy. I can't wait to see you get that rainbow BFP!

Morgan :hugs: I am so glad little Marley is cooking safe and snug in your belly!!!
 
Morgan, I agree 110% that losing our little guy has shaped us into totally different people who look at life in a different light, value it more, and don't sweat the small stuff as much. Your story makes me sad every single time.. I know how it is to leave empty armed.
 
Oh my goodness, you ladies are all so amazing! My heart goes out to each and everyone one of you!!!!

Morgan- yes, this is my 1st round of 100 mg after waiting the 2 cycles from mc. I skipped the 50 mg clomid this time around. I figured that since the 50 mg didn't work last time, I might as well just start right up with the 100 mg for this cycle, and my doctor was totally ok with that. At the start of the next year it will mark the start of our 3rd year trying. Trying, waiting, testing, getting a negative, and then repeat is becoming more and more difficult, as I am sure you guys understand.
 
Wow I knew you girls had been through a lot but seeing it written down makes all the more real. :hugs:
