Military Wives/Fiances/Girlfriends TTC

[AndreaFlorida]

Awwww I couldn't imagine Kybaby! I would die without my other half ehhhhh! Not really but it would be rough really.....really really rough! Mines been in for almost 7 years and not a deployment yet (knock on wood) soo I'm praying it will stay that way for another few years Hes in a non-deployable field but they sometimes fill in for others so thas why they cancelled it the other guys are gonna go instead of my hubby I was sooo happy Hope everyone has a great night

 

[cgwifey09]

hey guys
im a coast guard wife and we are trying for our first. im 19 and hes 20 so we are pretty young but are having a lot of trouble conceiving. nobody can figure out whats wrong with me. but im sure you know how tricare is takes forever to get doctors appointments with prime.

 

[ArmyFam101]

Lol Mrs. Bear. A positive OPK should warrant for the night off!!
The army ALWAYS seems to have the "best" timing for things.

 

[Mrs. Bear]

I know ArmyFam - I don't understand why the Army won't conform to my ttc schedule

Welcome cgwifey. I was concerned about waiting for appts with prime so I decided to stick with the standard/extra option. It costs a little more but is much less frustrating. Typically my Dr appts have been less than $10 and even ultrasounds at my RE have been under $15. I think you can use other Drs and it will operate like standard/extra if you don't want to wait on prime. Worth checking into if you are getting impatient. You are still very young though so you have time if you would rather wait and save $. Have you tried temping to make sure you are ovulating?

 

[cgwifey09]

yeah im temping opk everything. age isnt true for me they are wanting me to take out my uterus cuz of endo asap

 

[Mrs. Bear]

Sorry to hear that cgwifey. Is it the Army drs telling you that or a private dr? I would definitely get other opinions before going that far. Fx'd everything works out ok and you can get your bfp soon.

Have you been to an RE yet or just regular ob/gyn?

 

[cgwifey09]

well im definitely not even thinking about doing it til i have all the kids i want and i probably wont listen to what they say. it was just a military doc i go to civilian obgyn next month

 

[Mrs. Bear]

I'd check into whether there is an RE nearby too. Even if you don't go right away, you will have the info when/if you decide to see a specialist. I have pcos, which is completely different of course, but my ob/gyn never detected it and had no answer for my not ovulating other than to give me clomid (which didn't work). An RE will have a lot more options available for you as far as treatments go if you don't have any luck with yoru Ob/Gyn. Good luck!

Hey all. OH is with the Canadian Air Force as a firefighter. He'll be training thousands of miles away for 6 months come January. This is our last month to try for awhile. i'm trying not to stress myself out about it but so far not succeeding, haha.

Lots of dust to you all!

 

[Mrs. Bear]

Hi Aisak - I'm kind of in the same place, ttc before DH is sent away by the Army.

I love how everyone says not to stress about ttc because it can make it harder... I'm 37, ttc with a deadline and that doesn't even go into the stress caused by the deployment itself. There is no 'eliminating stress' at this point.

Hope this is your month!

 

[Mrs. Bear]

BFN - DH says he thinks it was wrong but there wasn't even a hint of a line and since am 14dpo I'm not holding any hope for it to turn positive. Dr will prob have me come in the morning to do a bloodtest to confirm then we will move on to another cycle. I guess all my symptoms were from the meds so I'm not going to believe those again that is for sure.

DH will be gone before we can try again so it will be IUI on my own after this...

 

[afriswell]

Hey ladies just wanted to join you. My dh is going to afghanistan in a year so this is our first month ttc # 1. We are using conceive plus and I am taking pre natals so hopefully we won't have to much trouble.

Mrs.bear- sorry to hear that. I hope your hubby stays safe.

[moleymummy]

My hubby is Navy and home until March - we have only just started ttc so we'll see what happens - if we don't catch by march we will then have to wait until August x

 

[Mrs. Bear]

DH deployed a few days ago

I'm doing better than I was but sometimes all I want to do is cry

Going to RE for an ultrasound in the morning to see where I am with ovulating so we can do the next IUI. I hate that we have to do it this way and he can't be here with me for all of this. I miss him so much...

 

[kybaby]
