LTTC support and friends?

[Kimbre]

hi everyone.
DH and I have been NTNP since I was due for DEPO shot in march 2010.
i was only on it for one shot(3 months)

I never got an AF until november and wasn't regular until feb 2011.

we started TTC actively on march 2011.

still NO BFP. i feel as though ive tried everything. besides a doctor.

this month I tried soft cups with pre seed and fertile CM. also OPKS.

In all the threads i've been in it seems as though everyone is now pregnant but me!!! its getting really hard on me so i decided to make my own thread and hopefully get a little group of support for all of us going on=)

i welcome anyone to join! i'm very friendly and love to laugh.

DH has a son and I have a daughter. we had some problems and had split up once for a year or so and got our children with other people. we are back together and have been for over 2 years now. but we would like a baby together.=(

i aso think i may have endometrioses, a doctor said she thought i have it. but i havent been checked due to insurance. hopefully i will be checked out soon!

If you're coming from TTC to LTTC, there aren't as many . LTTCers have already went to the doctor (at the 1 year mark) and know that they're facing infertility. 35 and over trying for 6 months, the rest TTC past the year mark are all considered LTTC.

You've got about 4 more months till you hit your 1 year mark, it may still happen. If it doesn't happen, then I would make an appointment with your gyno to do fertility testing. Good luck!

The main symptom for endo is pain..there's also bleeding for more than 7 days, or frequent periods.

ok so i wouldnt count my NTNP after depo then? bc if i do its longer than a year?

and I have always had painful AF. but my AF only seems to last 3 days now. and i have regular AFs

NTNP doesn't count. You have to be actively TTC for a year. I mean you could try to go to the gyno now, and explain the possibility of endo, sometimes they'll run tests on you early. But majority will tell you to come back in 4 months.

Kimbre, I started seeing a FS at 6 months of TTC and he took me seriously. At the 6 month mark I had all my bloods taken, and an HSG to check my tubes/anatomy, and DH had a SA. At that point everything came back fine and we were told to try for 6 more months and come back. I see that you are in the US also, so unless you have insurance reasons I don't see why you can't go to a FS now. This has been such a long process for me that I'm very glad I didn't wait and was proactive about my health.

i have insurance issues. all of my stuff got stolen... my laptop and it had my birth cert, my DDs birth cert and our social sec cards and my marriage cert. so to get on an affordable health insurance i need all of these things=(

Kimbre, it does tKe a little time and effort but you can get all those things again, you just have to fill out paperwork and possibly go to the offices of those places. It's a pain but it's worth it.
