im having some cramps wat feels like af cramps so im thinking im out this month...

 

[jonnanne3]

Camtex, cramping may be ovulating. Don't write this cycle off just yet. You say you are only 2 DPO, you may have ovulated later. My cycles went anywhere from 24 to 32 days. I never ovulated on the same day. Maybe you are just ovulating late. Good luck!

Just popping in to say hi and hope all are doing well. Floppy she is georgeous! I'm no longer ttc, but I will still come in here to see how everyone is doing

 

[jonnanne3]

I hope everything is ok with you Fluterby........

 

[fluterby429]

I'm fine. I'm just over the whole heart ache and the unexplained infertility. I didn't track anything this cycle and it was glorious. I do know we didn't bd during prime time so there is t any stress of testing either. I don't even know when to expect my period really because clomid throws me off and I didn't track O to know my LP so it's all in the air.

Hello ladies! Nice to find some tr girls!! We've been told recently that due to my tube lengths and history of unsuccessful sticky beans and my stats in general that it would be impossible for us to have a viable pregnancy. We have decided to continue to give it a go for one more year...

 

[jonnanne3]

Fluterby, I so get what you are saying! Enjoy your husband and don't focus on the whole TTC thing! It is very overwhelming!
Ally, Welcome and I am sorry about your losses. Don't get discouraged about short tubes! Mine are shorter than yours and I had 5 losses and I am now 40 (39 at the time we got pregnant with our forever baby). I had everything against me and it did happen! We actually mc'd on Christmas Eve 2010 and I told my husband that I was 100% DONE! He asked if we could stop when I hit 40 (I was 38 at that time) and I said ok. 3 months later we were pregnant with our miracle, forever baby! I see you are in Va. I am in Va too. Where abouts are you?

 

[alleysm]

J thanks for the encouragement! Im in richmond where are you? My hubs doesnt want to give up yet but we've been through 3 drs this year alone. In jan my obgyn wanted to do lap instead of mtx shot because and i qoute "this is the second possible ectopic and you've miscarried, you're older so id like to remove your tubes and you can just do ivf" hello? Um no. Are you gonna pay for that? Anyway we chose mtx and consulted with another dr who said your older your tubes are too short your lp is barrly 10 days it just will not happen. Onto dr 3.. who didnt say too much but did give me a script for progesterone.. I've conceeded to one more year just to appease hubs but its very saddening..

 

[jonnanne3]

I am in Powhatan, just west of Richmond. I would love to talk with you. I did the same thing! I went through 3 doctors and they just pretty much threw up their hands! I finally found a doctor who listened to me! I love my dr!!!!! I did go to a fertility specialist and I LOVE him too! He is Dr. Steingold at Johnston Willis. He is absolutely AMAZING!

 

[alleysm]

Did you do fertility?

 

[jonnanne3]

No I did not, but I did try it for a few months. We did meds and IUI but conceived naturally.

 

[alleysm]

J i would love to chat with you! ! I bet you can answer a ton of my questions

 

[stmom26]

I went to the Dr for my follow up after the TR and he said everything looks great and we need to wait for 3 more weeks before we start TTCing to make sure everything is healed up good. We told our two older children that we are going to try to try to have a baby and they are on cloud 9.

 

[camtex78]

i so wanna test in the a.m.....ughhhhh

 

[fluterby429]

just wanted to let you ladies know that I took the PCOS test and that included the 2 hour gluclose test. I passed the blood sugar portion. So again I am still unexplained infertility

 

[fluterby429]

Ok so I got a call from the RE office today to let me know that another one of my blood tests came back (they took 8 viales). It was my thyroid test. I've had this tested over and over and it always comes back as normal, BUT the nurse informed me that normal for every day walking around is NOT normal for fertility purposes. Anything under a 4.0 is considered "normal" mine was a 3.54 BUT for fertility they'd like it to be 2.5 or less. Soo I start meds tomorrow. She said she has worked there for 16 years and she has seen over and over that it is one tiny thing off and once they figure it out BAM they ladies end up pregnant...soooo this puts me back into the TTC game once again I guess. I'm not going to do all the crazy bd'n and tracking and what not. I'll prob do a couple of opk's each cycle since really I pretty much know my body and do the NTNP route.

Moral of the story...if you have had your thyroid checked and it came back "normal" check the level. The nurse said it can make a big difference in getting pregnant and keeping your pregnancy
