I'm coming over to LTTC!! 18 months TTC No.1

[dodgercpkl]

Good luck Dodger - how long are your cycles usually?

Hah! That's the big question. Back before BC, they averaged 20-45 days. Now that I've been off bc for the last year and a 1/2, I've not had ONE natural period. This is my first cycle with ovulation and while I'm counting it as cd10, there is some question as to whether cd10 is right or if maybe it came later... like cd19. So we'll see.

wow Dodger. That is tough. Great that you are o'ing now. Are you temping or anything?

Yup temping is actually the only way that I know that I'm o'ing. My chart clearly shows that O is happening... it's just a matter of when. lol My chart is in my sig if you want to look at it.

Today was maaaaaybe a possible positive HPT! I say 'maaaaaybe' because I gave it up for a stark white bfn before the 5 min mark, and then later (about 10-15min after the test) noticed that there is a VERY FAINT line there!! Could very easily be an evap, but since I've never had so much as hint before, I have to admit that it has me excited! I'm going to test later today again and see if I get the same results. My journal has pics if you want to see them.

Hi everyone,
I am on day 1 of our 16th cycle ttc. I'm 28 and have been married since 2010. I am really losing hope right now. Like why bother? DH's SA was good, my numbers on cd3 and 7dpo are good. I get positive opks and other signs of ov, but no bfp. Everywhere I turn there are pregnant people! Everytime I log into facebook there's someone complaining about people touching her baby bump, or damn heartburn. What I would give to have those complaints!!! People getting knocked up on accident is heart wrenching to me. I am scared because I'm not happy for others anymore. Just jealous. This isn't me.

Sorry for hijacking the thread! I just need to vent to people who understand what it's like. I spent 10 years frantically trying to prevent pregnancy and now I'm infertile?! I never in a million years thought I'd be here. But I am. Let's help each other stay strong. I need all the help I can get right now.

what have you tried so far Cara89?

I am on 1500 mg of Met right now to regulate my cycles, and it seems to be working. Aside from that... nothing.

Hi Racer - I struggle with jealousy over TTC all the time. Until I came on here, I thought I was weird or horrible, but now I know it is normal.

Have you had any tests done or anything?

 

[racerwife]

Hi there-
I had cd3 fsh, lh, glucose, insulin, estradiol, tsh, t4, t3 done as well as 7dpo progesterone. Everything was pretty normal. The only one that was a little high for my age was fsh at 7.4. The rest were:
Tsh 1.31
T4 1.1
Insulin 4.5
Fasting glucose 86
Estradiol <50
lh 3.1
7 dpo progesterone 15.7
DH's SA was great!
What about you? I don't know what else to have done! Ultrasound? HSG?

I totally am!! I got a 2nd definite positive in the afternoon when I tested again! I'm just soooo excited about it! My OB had me come in and do a blood test today, so I should have the official results of it by tomorrow!

Seen your line Dodger!!! FX'd & that it's a true !! That would be amazingg!!

...Everytime I log into facebook there's someone complaining about people touching her baby bump, or damn heartburn. What I would give to have those complaints!!!

I know the feeling. It especially makes me frustrated when there is someone who knows you have been ttc for a while - then they get knocked up and complain to you about the 'dreaded awful morning sickness' and the 'complete lack of sleep' they get. I told someone that DF & I had been ttc after she found out she was pregnant, then she had her baby (while we are still waiting for a hint of a bfp) and we were talking about cars and I said that a Honda prelude was too small to fit a car seat in the back safely - told her that was why I got rid of mine... just didn't think it would take this long. Her response to that was 'Ohh unno' - Really? She was full of words right before I told her that, AND afterwards. I wanted to scream.

Sorry for the rant. If you need to talk I am here. Haha.
