Looking for a LTTTC buddy

[lupinerainbow]

Been trying to concieve for 21months now i'm on my 22nd cycle 2-3dpo i have 28-33day cycles so not completely sure. Thought that ttc would be a piece of cake, not been to doctors as i am young so i want to wait and give it chance.
Hoping for my bfp this month, not got to the convincing myself im pregnant and feeling real down when im not stage yet but recovered from the last time . Hoping to fit in here a bit more as the TTC forums have lots of people concieving in the first few months and it makes me feel more down to be honest.

I know how you feel, have tried various supplements, both for DH and me, no luck, been to fertility specialist since June, but still no luck

Went off the pill in January 2009, nada. DH's SA is bad! Taking a work contract in Vancouver which is good to focus on something else, and they are much better able to handle fertility issues.
Waiting to hear about the blood tests I had - wondering if anything is up although all signs point to normal - happy to hear about other ladies able to commiserate!

glad to hear there is others in a similar situation. Thanks for replying, my OHgot one of them home sperm analysis test kits and it said he had a very high count so if they are true then the problem lies with me. I have been thinking i may have PCOS as i have a few of the symptoms except from irregular periods cause i think they are supposed to be longer if you have it? not read too much into it still trying to keep u a PMA! Should really get appointment with the doctor but its always we will try for 1 more month . If we not concieved by the 2 year mark we gonna go though, its a bit embarrassing for the oh though as our doctor is his grandfathers good friend and he feels awkward discussing this with him bless.
Hope all you lot don't have too long left on your journeys but at least we will all be so greatful when we finally get there! I have been here for 1cycle (on bnb that is) and 2 of my buddies have got their bfp don't get me wrong im really happy for them and they truly deserve it but it kind of adds to the other people in 'real' life that are getting pregnant around me.
Sorry for the long old rant but feeling a bit down as OH sis is moving in on tuesday with her big bump for a few months (baby will be here before she is gone) it is gonna be hard when AF turns up and i get into the whole feeling sorry for myself stage as i struggle to listen about her all the time during them 8days let alone seeing her all the time. Plus she seems to rub it in a bit by lying on the sofa rubbing her tummy and saying oh it moved and oh i am realy craving this and oo i need the toilet baby must be lying on my bladder. Fair enough im not a really mean person i am real happy for her and understand she is excited but she had a huge sulk when she found out we were ttc cause she likes to be in the limelight and she didnt want me pregnant at the same time (this was her first pregnancy). But she also stole my names (we were discussing them a few weeks back as to what we like and now she suddenly wants the names i said).
Sorry again for the moan and please dont think i am being mean i just need somewhere to vent as i cant exactly say this to anyone 'real' as i wouldnt want to upset them.
Yes i am so jealous of her and i really dont mean to sound so horrible but its just the way i feel when im in the depressive stage of the month and thought that the long term people would understand more.
Not saying anyone doesnt deserve to be pregnant, nor do i mean any offence it just makes you slightly crazy after a length of time as im sure you will know. Especially if you are like me and come of bc and think it will happen straight away- definitely got a shock!
Thanks for reading my rant glad i got it off my chest!

I feel exactly the same way when near pg people too

 

[1hopefull]

you don't sound horrible at all. i think most of us 'long timers' feel the same way about having other people around us that are preggers. they all say stupid stuff (most of which is unintentional, but the baby names thing must be extremely frustrating!) that makes us want to scream! i guess it is good character building for us (something good has to come out of this torture, right!)

also, i now stick to the LTTC. the TTC is just way to hard for me to bear. Girls are getting there BFP so quickly and while its great for them, it again reminds me of what I thought would happen to us...

hope you feel better soon. the low days are tough but they pass and the PMA comes back for a while.

Hi girls

I moved over here too a little while ago - the normal TTC section no longer seemed right for me either after 2.5years TTC and various fertility investigations. Have had all the tests now, and everything seems to be fine. We are just 'unexplained', so in limboland while we wait to qualify for IVF next May (if we want it).

So we're just back to trying 'naturally' - on Zita West fertility supplements (me and OH), soy, high strength fish oil and royal jelly. OH is also on too many other things to list separately! We are trying to keep his swimmers fresh by 'releasing' them (!!!) every few days and using the CBFM to predict OV. It is possible the FS might put me on clomid but still waiting for the follow-up letter and appointment.

So no chance I'm going anywhere soon - but I hope all your stays in LTTTC are short!!

Hi girls

Ive been TTC since Jan 2009 and no signs of a BFP! However under the Fertility clinic at the local hospital and have got my BMI to under 35...(just ) and have been prescribed Clomid starting next cylce at 50mg days 2-5 so its all very exciting and now im looking forward to arriving lol!

for all us lovelies TTC xxx

I have had bloods done (to rule out lupus as it runs in family) but they also checked near on every bodily function at the same time and all is good, but no fertility tests as of yet as i have got no conclusive symptoms which
point to anything like pcos or endo or anything and i have regularish periods so hopefully i will get bfp soon fx'ed. At least in the long run we will know we are definitely prepared for a baby mentally (not like its a big shock in a bad way anyhow) and we will appreciate them so much! I really hope to see some ltttc people with their bfp as i think this will give me more hope!
I still like to read through the ttc forum and give the people some advice occassionally but i tend to avoid posting nowadays and i avoid the bfp announcement area as much as possible too!

@Quaver did you have any conclusive results for your testing?

@Ebony fx'ed for you hun!

@mtngirl I hope that your results are all clear as the bad SA is enough for you to have to cope with!
Hopefully they will be able to help you better if their treatment is better!

@1hopeful Glad to hear i dont sound horrible, i do feel it sometimes though! I know what you mean its such a shock
when month after month goes by and every month is full of hopes being broken.. whoever knew this would be such
a painful journey its like a rollecoaster of emotions!

@Lisabananaman At least you know there is nothing wrong with either of you which will definitely improve your
chances but i suppose it must be more frustrating not having a reason and no help! Do you think you will go for IVF?
Hope to hear a happy end to your story! At least you know there is nothing more you can do to help with all them
supplements! i'm suprised you are not already on clomid? You never know you will prob get your bfp when you least
expect it!

@KellyW1977 Goodluck with your journey! Hopefully the clomid will work for you! and good luck also with your weight
loss journey!

All be sure to keep me updated on progress with you! Will be nice to hear and dont worry about moaning or ranting! Will be gladly appreciated as i'm sure you will get bored of mine haha! Sorry my posts are like essays too!


and to all! Hope the journeys arent too much longer for any of us!

xxxxx

I hope you ladies dont mind me crashing in but I've been following the thread and maybe someone has advice for me...

I am 24 yrs old, been ttc for 5 YEARS with my husband. Always got reg 26 day cycles, but nothing was happening. Was too embarressed to see a specialist or even talk about it well a few months ago I saw a re and I have a 9.6 fsh and when I did an hsg the fluid only went through one tube correctly. After sending me to do all these labs the doc basically said to me "looks like you have POF and you will not be able to conceive, so see about IVF with someone else's eggs" I barely held back tears as I walked out of his office. I started doing my own research online and saw that taking DHEA is beneficial to high fsh. So I have been taking a low dosage. last month I did enough research on Soy Iso and liked what I saw. So as my AF came on monday (11/8) I started Soy on cd2 (100mg) so Im hoping that maybe this will be one of those "I tried for so long and BAM a miracle" lol


oh and in 2004 I did get pregnant with husband (he was just a bf back then) but my mom basically forced me into an abortion
