Crazy Tester's Hoping for a 2016 BFP!!!

[SilasLove]

Im not ovulating, and have been trying for 7months and just talked to my OB about my concerns.

This is from my journal

Not really much to say at the min cycle day 4 so pretty boring. I'm a bit concerned that my period hasn't been the same since the d&c and that my lining isn't thick enough. I have my appointment on Thursday.

I used to have 5-6 days on bleeding usually consisting of 2 highs 2 mediums 2 lows then maybe 1 spotting. I've had 2 heavy days 1 medium and today I would say medium - light. I'd always drank every weekend alcohol and and only other conclusion maybe the periods I had before weren't so healthy and was my normal to bleed for nearly 7 days my ovulation was never same time more erratic and usually ovulated between cd16-20. Now every time since I didn't drink alcohol and fizzy I ovulated bang on cd14 and weirdly the cycle just before I got my bfp in November it was a shorter 4-5 day cycle. Maybe this has always been my norm if I was healthier either that or maybe something is wrong. I've lost nearly 4 stone from no fizzy or alcohol any overall being healthier gone from about 13 stone to 9 and half stone size 14-16 to an 8-10

I'm on it to help strengthen my eggs. Im 34 and have had two MMC in a row. But Im debating going off it for a few months. Im starting to think I'm not ovulating as strong as I should be anymore. I've always ovulated on my own, but the last few months I haven't gotten a positive OPK. Its been 7 months since my last MC. I should be regnant by now.

What does that mean "not as strong"? Do you think that could be my problem? This month was 6 months since our MC and it was always so easy getting pregnant before that, thinking about talking to the doc soon but I may just wait until my annual since it lands at the 1 yr mark of MC as well.

I don't always ovulate as I have PCOS. I spoke to the doctor after 6 months due to this and the fact I am getting older. We are now on out 13th cycle. We had a MMC 3 months ago. I needed Clomid for DS2 which took us 18 months. Xx

I have questioned the PCOS thing. I have even taken online symptom tests and they came back with a good chance. On my list of things to talk to the doc about. Did you always have it or it happened later with age? It is crazy to think that it can still happen after all that time has passed!!! 6 months has me so full of doubt I am ready to go out and get a puppy for me and the kids!

I spoke to the doctor after six month ttc because I'm a bit older and was worried it would take a while (never expected this long).

I've been seeing the specialist for the last twelve month and had various tests done on me and hubby which show everything is fine

Hubby has slightly less morphology but they didn't seem that worried as it was only 1% below normal and everything else was fine.

I was supposed to go for a hsg in April but I had a miscarriage that month so they didn't do that one as it showed that at least one of my tubes was open

So they gave me clomid after that to give me more chances at catching an egg.

I've done a few month naturally since then because I heard that you are more fertile after a loss but that hasn't worked for me

What is "a bit older"? I am 35 and this month makes 6 months.

I was told you are more fertile after MC too! That was what a lot of friends were saying to comfort me... but that seemed to be true for every one BUT me! Even the cashier at dollar tree was asking me if hpts from there really work because she sees me in there buying them every month and when I told her yes and the short version of my story she told me that she was pregnant 3 weeks after MC!!! I couldn't understand why she would tell me this AFTER I expressed my struggles as to why she sees me in there month after month!!! Some people!!

I would ovulate eventually but I could take me 2 to 5 months due to pcos, so i tried clomid almost right away. It didn't work for me. Then I started on femara and that worked the 2 cycles I tried it. I'm starting it again tomorrow.

What does femara do differently than clomid? I couldn't imagine 2-5 months to ovulate! Three weeks kills me! I am so sorry . Hope this month brings quick positive opks!!!

Im not ovulating, and have been trying for 7months and just talked to my OB about my concerns.

Silas, so sorry you are not ovulating. I can only imagine how much more anxiety that puts into the whole ttc routine . What did your OB have to say? Do you temp? Is that how you know you don't ovulate?




By the way, I have said it before but I will say it again, I am so grateful for all of you! The information and comfort that is shared is very special! Gives us a way to not feel so alone! Thank you!

Femara just has a different mechanism of action than clomid and works for some people who don't respond properly to clomid. And yes, the wait to ovulate sucks. I ovulated last in april, and if femara works this cycle I should ovulate around July 8. Fingers crossed!

Hopefully, 8th July is lucky

[mommyof2peas]

[lovebabyhopes]

That is my husband's BD and we are 35, too!

I suspected I wasn't ovulating because I had no +opks except once. Well, I brought this up and they did a blood test on cd21 and my progesterone was .7 and so they said I am not ovulating and based off my PCOS symptoms they agreed to let me try clomid. I am only 26 so was really surprised myself but I am not going to complain.

 

[mommyxofxone]

DH's birthday is also the 18th! lol

Well turns out i'll be going out of town for the next few days- so that means of course, i won't get to test at 10dpo. So my brilliant plan was to test tomorrow at 8dpo instead. LOL so we'll see.

i'm expected a bfn. But i have to do it. Other than that i won't be back until friday or saturday, which is 11 & 12 dpo, so i would test again saturday if nothing. So if you ladies don't see me for a while that's where i am!

will make sure to share my bfn with you ladies in the am though lol. and my temping will probably get wonky cause i can't temp with dd in the room cause my therm beeps a million times.

I've had enough for testing now, tested again this am and bfn, my heart literally seems to break seeing one lonely line 😢 not testing until friday.
Good luck ladies

Hey ladies, sorry to those who've gotten at of bfns hoping you bfp is just around the corner!

Afm - I've been a bit quiet, but I've been very productive! I've lost 5lbs, have stepped up my gym sessions, have stopped smoking and am generally feeling good in myself! I'm cd16 today so hoping I O soon so I know when to take the tablets to delay af as will be on holiday when she's due. Then another month off in July, and I'm think I may start ttc again in Aug rather than Sept/Oct, I'm not sure I've got it in me to wait that long!!x
