Sorry to hear that xxx

myshel. Sorry the witch arrived.

 

[madtowngirl]

Me, too Myshelsong. :/ I really wish the witch wouldn't hang around so long and cause so much pain. It's like a kick in the teeth.

 

[flou]

madtown. I always think that when AF arrives it is at the time you are less likely to be able to deal with it emotionally.

 

[Myshelsong]

I feel you mad town!
Thanks for the support ladies, this is just sucky but onto another month. I ordered some pre seed and some OPK to chart this month. Going to be a good month!

 

[flou]

Good luck myshel! I hope this month will be your month.

 

[Myshelsong]

On day eight now of new cycle and started charting again. Not trying to get my hopes up, but hoping to be able to do the deed during ovulation at least this month ...
Still haven't found a house and the stress is just making me bonkers, I don't know how long I can go on with everything in my life being in limbo!

How is everyone else doing?

I dropped off the face of the earth for a few months as we concentrated on our infertility. You can read more of an update on my blog: issuesininfertility.blogspot.com

Long story short - we just did our very first IUI on Saturday. It's a natural cycle - which only ups our chances to 12-15%, but I'm just glad that we're doing something proactive on our 20th cycle. Fx and lots of to everyone!

Hi! Can I jump in?

I tend to go between the Over 35 TTC forum and this one.

LTTC is wearing me down. I worry that I'm heading for an emotional breakdown. I'm going for counselling but I feel that it's going round in circles with each month of disappointment.

Having a diagnosis of unexplained infertility is so frustrating because there's nothing you can do, no treatment the doctors can try. After I had all the tests & my OH SA came back ok we were told that IVF is our only option but we can't afford it.

As time has gone on I get more and more upset that it will never happen because my age is against me. I try to pep myself up by looking up stories of women my age who have had their first but I'm beginning to think they're the exception and I'm the rule.

OH is supportive but to be honest he's having a hard time dealing with me being sad a lot of the time. I think he thinks I'm having a mood which will pass but I'm heartbroken and I can't just snap out of it.

Myshel me and my dh are currently house hunting. We are staying with my parents but we really need to find somewhere soon. We need our space and I want to be settled!

Mlto I really hope the iui works for you. Fxd for a bfp!

Welcome hope! I'm sorry you find yourself on the lttc boards and I hope you get your bfp soon. Unexplained infertility must be frustrating. Myself and my dh have been ttc since April 2011. We got a bfp after ttc 19 months but mc, tried again and 11 months later got a second bfp but again we mc. We have had some basic fertility tests and everything has come back normal. There seems to be no reason why it takes us a while to conceive and why I have mc (even though there are more tests they can do for this but they won't do anything until I have had another one!) We have now been trying 7 months (start of month 8 today as AF showed) since my last mc. Just hoping for a sticky bean for myself and everyone on here soon!

flou: i read this article a few days ago on facebook about unexplained fertility and toxic levels in the male dna.... anyways this couple was trying for a really long time and they have unexplained infertility.. they went to a holistic doc and he tested for significant dna damage due to exposure to vertain toxins that you find in everyday products, particularly in beauty products. I think its phalates or something like that that.... Anyways people that have this usually miscarry between 6-8 weeks due to chromosonal damage. They did a detox for 1 year, changed lifestyles and bam, preggo pants.

So, I will find the article and try to post it. I thought it was pretty interesting. Im still convinved it took us forever because my DH is a heavy smoker and has been exposed to tremendous amounts of nastiness in his lifetime.

 

[MItoDC]

I'd love to see that article too, Sabster! My DH was a smoker for many years, but quit 10 years ago. I can't help but wonder if that has contributed to his low morphology.

 

[flou]

Sabster that article sounds really interesting. Definitely worth a read.

 

[Myshelsong]

My DH is a smoker, but all his results came back normal. Although I know it is not helpful in getting knocked up. I have asked and he has tried, but he still hasn't quit.

Got some positive OPK this month again and since it was our anniversary we really tried to hit it. Fingers crossed

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

Fingers crossed for you

 

[flou]

I hope you catch that egg myshel!

 

[Myshelsong]

Hey Flou, thanks. This is going to be the longest two week wait ever! I am already trying not to symptom spot and i am only 3dpo lol.

How long have you guys been at your parents? Thankfully we have our own space here but it is really hard finding our time to just relax together.

 

[flou]

We've been with my parents since the end of March but hopefully we will be moving into our new place at the end of the month. V.excited! It will be lovely to just be us again. And I'm hoping the saying will come true new house new baby!

 

[Myshelsong]

Totally agree. We just saw a house that has a swing set and slide combo in the back, and I was thinking how nice it would be to get there and be able to use it ....

I think this is the article that Sabster was talking about. Someone posted it in my journal recently, since all of my mcs have been between 4-6 weeks. It's a very interesting read.
