Hello ladies,
I really don't know what this forum considers LTTC and if I fit. I'm sorry if I'm posting here too soon or if I shouldn't be here.
DH and I started TTC in late April 2012. We got a BFP in July that ended in a miscarriage in mid-August. After two doses of Misoprostel and an emergency D&C, we started TTC again after my first period in early October.
In December, I went to my OB because my OPKs were weird. Instead of the normal 1-2 positives, I was getting 8-9 positives every month. She ordered the Day 21 test 7 days after my first positive later that month, which showed incredibly low progesterone (1.9), so she wasn't sure if I was ovulating. The next month I started temping and noticed that I don't ovulate until my 3-4th day of +OPKs. We tested my progesterone 7 days after my temp rise and the result was much better (~8). All of my other hormones (FSH, etc) are all normal. DH's sperm analysis was normal.
However, because my progesterone and OPK results are odd/conflicting, my OB started me on 100mg of Clomid last cycle (my 5th cycle post-miscarriage). AF came yesterday, so it was unsuccessful. I'm start my second round of Clomid and my 6th post-miscarriage cycle now. Next month marks one year since we originally started TTC.
I know I had one BFP and haven't been technically LTTC since my miscarriage, but it's been so hard having TTC for a year now with no baby yet and the added stress of fertility treatments is difficult. I'm normally over on the miscarriage or TTCAL boards, but it's starting to become very difficult watching other posters move on, while we're having a difficult time. I'm one of the last people that I know there and one of the only ones who's undergone fertility testing and/or is using Clomid.
I don't mean to offend anyone if I shouldn't be here, but I just thought I might find more people who understand what I'm going through with the fertility issues/testing here than I have on the other boards.
Basically, I feel like I'm this limbo phase where I don't really belong anywhere here.
