Nats, take all the time you need. We will still be here when you are ready. I remember the disappointment of AF all too well.

Hi ladies, long time....sorry I havent been on in a while I have been a crying mess..I hope all is doing well..I am sure I have missed out on alot so I am going to go back a few pages and catch up, so I will check back in a little later.

Nats - big hugs and love, we're here for you whenever you need us. Take all the time that you need.

Linz - hang in there hun, it will pass. I threw up every day, morning noon and night from week 7 until last week. Now it's only if I am hungry or tired. I had no concept of how horrible it was and how debilitating the tiredness and constant nausea could be so I have massive massive sympathy for you. Try and take it easy, eat lots of ginger products and cut yourself some slack. Don't do any housework - laundry produced instant vomiting in me!!

I dont know where to go with our ttc journey. Its becoming clearer to me that DH is really incapable of BD. After his neck surgery he had trouble physically (with his penis) but after it got a little better. Now its gotten to the point where he has NO sexual drive, cant get it up no matter if he wants to or not, and if he does get it up he cant finish...i know he is really upset after last night so I dont even want to mention a FS but I dont know what else to do at this point. I know he wants a baby just as much as I do but I think hes also embarassed he cant do anything

Oh Wishin! I'm sorry that ya'll are going through all of this. At least you now know that it's not because he doesn't want to. It's because he is self conscious! It's nothing to be embarrassed about though! It's because of his multiple surgeries and previous health issues. Would he consider going to the doctor about ED (Erectile Dysfunction) As a nurse PLENTY of men (young and old) have issues with this. There are TONS of medications that can help him making him able to enjoy sex again = being able to ejaculate! I think if you can get him to get that checked out ya'll will have a baby in no time! Stress puts so much of a damper on ttc (as all of us ladies know oh so well ) It'll be hard to get him "into" it again since he feels inadequate as a man! Research ED and get him aquainted to the idea!!!

I'll say a little prayer for ya'll!!

xoxo

 

[wishnhoping]

how do i get him comfortable with the idea of meeting with someone about ED? DH is and always has been such a "mans man" tough guy persona type of person...yesterday made me realize how devastating it must be for him to not even be able to perform

 

[wishnhoping]

btw- how are you feeling Haley? hope ur tww flies by!

 

[linz143]

Wishin - Do you know if DH's problem is directly related to any medication or just stress?

I know with my DH he was having the same problem until I basically told him I was done "trying." I told him I didn't care about timing and if we missed the window, then we missed it. Basically our sex life was becoming planned and sterile, and I was done with it. I didn't tell him when I was ovulating, I didn't even approach him if I wasn't seriously in the mood. Finally, one night, I was really worked up and we ended up BD'ng. I ended up ovulating early the next day, and that was the month I got my BFP.

It was literally the stress that I was putting on him that we "HAD" to do it, and he "HAD" to finish that was making him unable to. Once I told him I couldn't care less whether we timed it right or not and stopped telling him when I was ovulating, all of a sudden he was back to normal. He even asked me after we BD that night if I was in my fertile window and my response was " I don't know. Don't care either."

I really think that taking the pressure off him (I even told him I wouldn't make him take the vitamins anymore) was what allowed him to relax and enjoy BD again, rather than feel like its up to him in this monumental moment to make a baby. And I was willing to go a few months missing the window, too. Because it was what he/we needed.

Wishin, that's a really crap situation to be in, but I definitely think you need to get him to see a specialist. A good one will be able to work out what is medical and psychological and put him on the best treatment so he can feel good about himself again. Good luck xxx

Well today I am 5 dpo according to opk's! Feeling ok.. A little cramps here and there but I woke up with not one but 2 fever blisters!!!

Ok so I wanted to POAS so badly this morning so I used an OPK as I've heard they sometimes turn positive when you are pregnant. It turned dark positive!! I'm not sure what to make of this! I took an hpt right after and of course it was negative as I'm only 5dpo! Hopefully this is a good sign!!!! I'm trying not to get my hopes up though lol

 

[DooDah]

Hey girls

Just popping by to say hello. I miss you all. After the whole affair thingy we've worked it out and are ttc again although we're gonna take a break soon if no BFP because of all the stress of it.

Massive congrats on all the action! Hoping for a 100% rate soon

 

[linz143]

Haley! Ack! Stop peeing on stuff!! lol!! I know how ya feel, girl but PUT THE OPK DOWN! I've seen nothing but heartbreak and confusion from girls using opks as a hpt. They seem like a bigger hassle than they are beneficial. And even when I was getting a positive on a digi, the opk that I tried using was not anywhere near as dark as when I was ovulating. It was actually around the same darkness as when I was clearly NOT ovulating so I have no idea what that meant. Take a deep breath and try to hold off for a few more days.

Doodah! Welcome back! Good to hear you worked things out with the OH. It takes guts to get through something like that (I know first hand) so if things are going well for you two now, that's wonderful to hear. Keep us updated and come visit us here any time you like! TTC is stressful! And that's why we're here for you to destress to, since men don't seem to get it like we do.

AFM - First real Dr. appt and scan tomorrow. My stomach is in knots, but I'm pretty sure everything is fine. My morning sickness kept me in bed pretty much all weekend (and Friday). This bean seems to keep me in the know that it is doing great by making me feel horrible all the time, but at least I know it's there. Wouldn't have it any other way.

 

[leia37]

Wishin - hugs hun. Its got to be so stressful. Must be so hard for your OH to have problems. Us women get stressed enough when our bodies dont do what they should, let alone the men. He must be feeling awful. Hope you can get him to go and see somebody but sound like its going to be hard. good luck hun xx

Haley - lol, have patience hon, i know it feels like forever but only a week or bit less to go. x

Doodah - welcome back. glad you and OH sorted it out. You know where we are when you need us x

Linz - cant wait to see your scan pics tomorrow x
