Hi ladies

Just wanted to drop in and say 'hi' after a few weeks away from the board. Have totally lost my PMA this month after another really short cycle (onto number 11 now). I'm really beginning to doubt it will ever happen and seem to be on the verge of tears a lot of the time. Is anyone else feeling this way? And has anyone got a shiny BFP while I've been away? Would love to hear some happy news!

xx

Toptack- A lot of us feel that way! I was having that kind of a day yesterday. Unfortunately, there hasn't been any more Mid Term graduates since Moo Moo I believe. But that just means a bunch of us are due for a anyday now!!

 

[Toptack]

Sorry to hear you've been feeling low too... at least we're not going nuts alone!

Too bad no-one else has had a BFP yet. As you say, surely someone should be due one soon xx

I'm lacking in PMA this month too. has started showing her face, but I started spotting really early this month. I'm feeling really despondent about the whole TTC thing - I can't see how I'm ever going to get a BFP while my LP is so short and AF lasts a day. That's aside from DH being away so much.

I've got an appointment with my GP on Thursday but I'm scared that he's going to make me feel like a stupid, obsessed woman and tell me to go away until I've been TTC for a year. I'm up to 8 months now (despite my ticker saying 7!) and finding it really, really hard.

I need to get over myself!

 

[Toptack]

It's a positive step to go and see your GP though - if AF only lasts a day and your LP is short, then it's definitely time to get him involved. And if he makes you feel the least bit stupid, kick him into touch and get a new one, I say! Were you on birth control before you started trying, or has AF always been like that?

 

[bobobaby]

Leila Fae- Have you considered telling a little white lie and saying you've been TTC for a year already?? I just think its ridiculous that some Dr.'s won't do anything even when there is clearly something that needs fixed!

This cycle is my first at charting and i think it doesn't look right:
my temps haven't gone up since ovulation and ive been spotting through out my cycle.

Have I any hope?

On wednesday going for blood test to test for progesterone levels

Hi toptack. Sorry you've been feeling down.

Hi Pusskins. Good luck with your blood work.

 

[BizyBee]

I tested this morning and got a bfn.
This afternoon I noticed some light spotting. I hope that means AF is arriving. If so, this will be my shortest cycle (I'm at CD46)!

 

[wishn2Bmom]

Bizy Bee, Bless your heart hun. I hope this is for you so you can get on with it! Waiting is by far the worst part about this process...

Hey ladies I am finally back form Vacation!!!! On CD 9 now so Ov in about a week! Hopefully one of us will get a BFP soon!

I thought of that but I had my implant taken out in August so that will be in my notes.

My AF prior to taking the pill, then the injection, then the implant (!) was completely normal lasting for 3-5 days. It's the flipping implant which has done this to me. What's more when I had the implant I had heavier (completely irregular) bleeding than I get during AF!

Hi Pusskins, I'm sorry you are feeling low. You're right, it looks to me like you may not have Ov'd. Your blood tests Wednesday will confirm for sure, but I think even if you haven't Ov'd, you still have some hope! The doc can give you some meds to promote your Ov and you will be on your way to a beautiful BFP!

 

[cutie4evr01]

Leila, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles with the implant. I think even though it hasn't been a year yet, you should push your doc to go ahead and do something about it now. You can tell him/her that you are not necessarily asking for anything to help you conceive, but that you just want everything to be in working order (as best as possible) before your year is up so that hopefully you won't need to come back for help conceiving. I was having long irregular cycles and my gyno knew we were trying to conceive and she said she can't do anything to help us until it's been a year (like give me Clomid or check my tubes), but that she could try to get my cycles back to normal, so at least she has started doing blood tests and referred me to an endocrinologist because I have wacky hormone levels. I feel like even if the docs aren't allowed to started testing/treating fertility until a year is up, at least they can get your cycles sorted out! Good luck!

 

[cutie4evr01]

Bizy, sorry about this BFN, but I hope this is it for you; now you can get things going!

Kelly, welcome back!

 

[Toptack]

Leila - I agree with Cutie. I went to the Dr after I had been off the pill for only 5 months, because I was having 21 day cycles with 7/8 day periods (uck). He happily referred me to fertility clinic who carried out the blood tests etc without really questioning how long I've been ttc. It took me another two months to see a specialist who was lovely - we talked about clomid and he said that he would prescribe it for me if I really wanted it right away, but we all agreed it was best to keep trying 'naturally' for another few months. I'm 34, which may explain why they were prepared to move quickly, but in general everyone has been helpful and supportive. Fingers crossed that they are equally helpful with you

Would i get +OPK and a temp dip if i wasn't ovulating?
I hope i can have children and they can sort me with meds.
I always expected that i would get pregnant easy

 

[wishn2Bmom]

I've really resented society lately for telling all of us for years that if you have unprotected sex, You WILL get pregnant. It gives us false expectations As for being able to have children... I am 100% sure that all of us are capable, 1 way or another! It's just a matter of getting those stubborn doctors to do their job and fix it!!
