I need a TTC friend :*(

Here we go:
I always wanted a baby all my life. I am 23 years old and I married my husband July 25, 2008. We started ttc before we were married because I have known him since I was 11 years old so I knew who he was and what I was getting into.
I was on depo in July 2007 and didnt start dating hubby until September 2007. I only had one shot of depo and it was only because my mother pressured me into it because I was young. She still till this day is telling me to wait.
After the 3 months of depo effectiveness I went on Yaz to get back to regular because the entire time that I was on depo I bled. Talk about a really long period.
Once I got regular which was 30-35 day cycles we TTC. I tried everything that wasnt doc related.
I tried:
Maca Root
Vitex
Geritol
Red Raspberry Leaf Tea
EPO
Royal Jelly
Fish Oil
APV
GSE
Tribulus
Green veggy drinks
Softcups
Preseed
Concieve Plus
Eggwhites
Soy Isoflavones
Castor Oil Packs
Rhodiola
And probably more that I Cant think of.

Went to the doc 2 years ago and they prescribed me clomid and I did all the cycles of that and nothing. Found out I had PCOS both my sisters have it. I have all the classic signs. Cycles are now up to 60 days and not all the cycles have ovulation occuring. Have facial hair I take care of. Weight gain and abdominal fat to where I actually look preggo. Been asked many times if I was Preggo. This year I was put on metformin. Still trying to lose the weight and I am trying really hard to learn how to control PCOS.
Hubby smokes MaryJane (dont judge) and wont give it up but his SA results were normal so I cant complain. He takes Maca, Tribulus, and a multivitamin.
I cant afford to get treatments like IVF and IUIs. Would love it if I could. I dont know what else to try or do.
Anyways, sorry if this is long. Hard to sum up 5 years worth of ttc.

Have you considered softcups? I just learned about them and have found they have a very large success rate...DH and I will be trying them for the first time this month!

*Sorry...after of course I posted about Softcups I see you tried them
 
I forgot to mention that I have no idea why but my cycles have gotten a lot shorter recently. I used to have a 29 day cycle and for the past 2 months of ttc my cycles have been 25 days! I have no idea if ttc has anything to do with this. Has anyone else experienced this? I think its throwing me off with calculating my O day!
 
Temping can tell you a lot about your cycle summerlove, you will see exactly when you O and how long your luteal phase is

I haven't tried this yet as we've only been ttc for 2 months but perhaps it would be worth a shot! I'm not exactly sure how this is done. I'll have to look it up! :thumbup:
 
Just get a thermometre, to two decimal places, and take your temp at the same time every day as soon as you wake up. Plot it in www.fertilityfriend.com

It works well for me, and we can all stalk your chart LOL
 
ok got some sore boobs going on over here.. but it may because AF is supposed to come in like 6 days.. hmphhhhhhhhhhh lol.
 
hi id love to be your buddy as well...im TTC also..i wish u the best of luck :)

I hope so tooooo sweetie! My plan was if i was prego this cycle id tell our moms on mothers day lol..
 
im not a big fan of clomid!(or depo for that matter) its supposed to help achieve pregnancy but the main side effect is "dry" cervical mucus...which is weird...
any how, i think that your weight loss medicine may be part of the issue... medicine made to help burn fat attacks all the fat cells and burn up all your nutrients so you don't gain weight, much of what you may need to have a "healthy" diet for a baby. have you ever tried to stop taking all the medicine for one full cycle and see what happens? maybe you are overloading your body?? especially because your so stressed ya know??
are you charting everything?? i just started march 26th charting
as for your husbands MJ i don't think that is an issue at all....and noone should judge...
i also have longer periods 37-41 days. and it sucks. i have not been trying that long, it took me a while to get back up after i lost my baby last year.
I havent heard about the cups what are they?? :cloud9:
wb and i wish you the best of luck..lots and lots of baby dust to you:hugs::angel::spermy:
 
thats an awesome idea, and that would be amazing to tell your mom on mothers day
