LTTTC, want to be buddies?

[babyjla]

Haha, they are NUTS. But yes, the fried turkey is phenomenal. I love it! I'm so excited to eat it lol

 

[dodgercpkl]

I'm nervous to test today all of a sudden... lol

 

[babyjla]

You are testing today????!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH! Let me know as soon as you find out!!! And Happy Thanksgiving!!

 

[dodgercpkl]

I did test today and it was a stark white BFN. Oh well it is still early, so I'll test again in a few days. Here's a pic:

How about you?

 

[babyjla]

DANG! Thats crummy! I haven't tested for about two weeks, maybe I'll buy a test next time I'm out. I hadn't had any real symptom like things going on for about 6 days besides back pain and bloating, so I was starting to get a little discouraged. But today I started getting them sharp pains in my breast again. I have never been so excited over sore boobs lol. And the plate I ate tonight for dinner was MASSIVE. Everyone commented on how much I was eating lol. And I got heartburn again tonight for the first time in a few days. These symptoms I'm having seem to come and go. Like the only real constant thing is the discharge. Other than that I get all of them at different random times. None are constant.

 

[dodgercpkl]

Eh... it's not what I hoped for, but it is early so I'm just going to keep hoping for the best. Dinner was amazing! Sooooo good!

 

[Sammylou2905]

Wow, I dont check for a few days and miss loads!

I'm sooo excited for the pair of you reading all your symtoms and keeping fingers crossed for you even all the way here in England.

Wish we had thanksgiving here, love the winter holidays and getting together with family, even the in-laws

To answer your questions
We've been not activley ttc for 3 years so much as hoping for an accident. Me and DH have only been married 2 and a half years and together officially (that's a story in itself!) for 4 years, almost 5 in total. So after two years of not trying but not being careful we were starting to realise something was wrong. I got officially diagnosed last may, just after my 30th birthday. Having a label was devestating. Follow that with what i now understand to be called a chemical pregnany (early mc) in feb this year, our marriage nearly buckled under the strain and this year we had a 3 months break but unlike many others, we came back together stronger and more in love than ever!

So far we havnet tried anything magical other than agnus for my cycles and soya before I get referred again for clomid. Off to see the doctor next friday to get referred again but hoping lots of baby dancing, angus and soya will have kick started my body this month!

Know just what its like to keep hope that every syptom is pg related and I genuienly hope the time is now for both you babyjla and dodgercpkl.

I do envy that you can just phone and talk to your doctors, we dont have that over here. However we can get clomid on prescription under the hospital so some good things over here I suppose.

Sorry for rambling on guys!

 

[babyjla]

dodgercpkl, Yeah that turkey was amazing. I was snacking on it at 6am because my hubby got me up at 4am to go black Friday shopping haha. It was his first year ever, he's usually camping. He actually didnt go (I dont know if I posted he'd be leaving or whatnot) this year. But it was nice to spend time with my grandparents and my parents. I'm an only child, so on the years we don't go up there, I feel bad for my parents because they don't have other children coming to visit. And a lot of my family has moved out of state, so they weren't here for the holiday either. It was a pretty small gathering, but it was still good.

Sammylou, WOW! I guess I don't realize that this is a pretty big web site, and there's people in other countries that I could be talking to Thats pretty neat. And yeah, I can't imagine not having Thanksgiving! Even if it were just to get with family and eat good food haha. Your story sounds pretty similar to mine. Me and my hubby have been together almost 4 yrs, and we were safe for about a yr and a half. Then decided to not try, but not prevent. Then decided to try about 2 yrs ago and nothing ever happened. I never thought getting pregnant would be so hard. I see so many girls in high school get preggo all the time, and there's always pregnant woman walking around the stores. And for some reason I just couldn't do it. But I can't just call my doctor and talk to him. I mean, I should be able to (but you came in a little late haha). LONG story short I called my doctor every day for a week when I was starting clomid to know how to use it, then just decided to start it from research I'd done online. I never received a call back. Then, when I was supposed to get a period (based upon a 28 day cycle which I do not have) I called everyday for two weeks. FINALLY one day I called every 20 minutes and they kept saying "Oh he's with a patient" or "I'll give him the message and he'll call you back right away". At about 4pm I finally got a call back. And he told me the only thing he could imagine would be going on with my body is pregnancy. But he also said if I were still getting negatives to go ahead with the Provera again the 2nd week of November. I just feel like I shouldn't do that, I'm still having symptoms. So I made an appt because calling his behind won't get anything done. I have read many times that PCOS can cause women to get false negative results, even into the 6 month of pregnancy when a woman is obviously pregnant. So I'm not leaving anything to chance. Its bad enough my hormones are so out of wack that I could miscarry in any pregnancy, I'm not going to take provera and force the little guy out if he's there!!! Well, now I'm rambling lol

 

[dodgercpkl]

Ugh... The more I read your story, the more I wish you would find another doctor. Yours doesn't listen nor does he exhibit even the small professionalize required to make a return phone call. How frustrating!! I don't blame you one bit for not wanting to take provera if there's a chance. That's one reason I'm glad that I'm on prometrium to kickstart mine. Prometrium is more like a bio-identical and is actually used during pregnancy for ladies with high mc risks.

@Sammylou - Yeah it's so frustrating isn't it? I'm hoping that this is my cycle for a bfp as well! I hope your referral this time gets you some well deserved answers!!

 

[babyjla]

Yes, I agree. I'm planning on finding another doctor, I just havent had time with Christmas and everything. It's extremely frustrating. But I'm gonna stick in out for just a little white longer. If nothing good by January I'm finding someone else!

 

[dodgercpkl]

Start checking around with friends and see if anyone has had a great experience with an OB. That's how I found mine, and I'm SOOO glad that I followed through on the referral a friend gave me!

 

[babyjla]

Oh yeah, I didnt think to do that. I know my sister in law LOVES her OBGYN. But his prices are ridiculously high, and he isn't accepting new patients. So thats a dead end lol. It's just so hard to find a good OB because my insurance won't kick in until January, and I don't want to pay $200 for a first visit and then $150 for every visit after and end up not liking the new OB. My first one was a female, and she told me if I didnt lose the weight I could hang up having children. And I'm not like morbidly obese or anything, I just have extra belly fat from the PCOS. My OB I have now figured everything out for me, and he is relatively cheap if you are self pay; atleast for an OBGYN/Fertility specialist. I only pay $65 a visit, so I guess you get what you pay for haha.

 

[dodgercpkl]

Yeah I can get how that makes it tougher. I'm luck that I don't pay for my OB visits, but the endo more the makes up for it in costs. She's worth it though!

 

[babyjla]

What is the "endo"? Lol, I've never heard that one.

 

[dodgercpkl]

What is the "endo"? Lol, I've never heard that one.

I hate writing out endocrinologist... so I shorten it to endo. lol

 

[babyjla]

Haha, I was kinda of thinking that but didnt want to make any assumptions lol.

 

[Sammylou2905]

I forget all the time you guys have to pay to see your doctors, that sucks!

Babyjla only 3 days to go to your appointment, excited???

Took a step up and ordered a clearblue fertility monitor off ebay yesterday, determied to find out the right dats to give it an extra big push and who knows, we could all have our bfp for xmas!

 

[babyjla]

Sammylou, YEAH WE HAFTA PAY! Ugh lol. I'm super excited, but nervous at the same time. I just want good news!!! If I get bad news, IDK what I'm going to do with myself. I mean really. There are so many things that just point to pregnancy, but I guess it could be not... Like last night the VERY tip of my nipples turned white. They kinda hurt pretty bad, then turned white. It looked funny and was very uncomfortable, so I googled it to see what I could find. The only thing I could find it MIGHT be is nipple vasospasms. Which NORMALLY occur during breastfeeding if the baby doesn't latch on properly, but it can also happen during pregnancy, especially in colder weather. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure its cold outside! Haha. But I imaging it could be anything else too. Who knows?!?! Guess only time will tell for me. UGH, I hate waiting to know!

 

[killyouli]

Maybe this month will be our lucky month!!!

 

[babyjla]

We are sure hoping so killyouli!! How long have you been TTC?
