Hi ladies!

I have found that you all are very supportive on here which makes me really happy. My boyfriend and I have been ttc for almost two years now. I realize I am young, but some things in life are too important to wait any longer. I come from a big family. One of my sisters has 4 kids already, my brother has 3 and my other sister is about to have number two, ( the first was through IVF) I'm happy the second got to be natural. I have been reading tips and tricks but to be honest I'm terrible at knowing how to chart things. I am very irregular, as was my sister with IVF, her uterus was also T shaped. My last doctor was a....well not a nice lady and told me I needed to wait until I was married and then she would test me. So I waited against everything that told me not to, and finally her I am, not caring if I should wait. I'm terrified that I will never have one of my own. I know I would be an amazing mom, I just don't know what to do. Any advice, help or tips would be great! Thanks again ladies! I'm happy to be here with all of you, I just wish none of us needed this.

Oh that sounds good, I will check it out. Sorry TMI, however lots of sex isn't an issue haha, ill have to get ovulation tests. My sister did those too, I just never thought i would need them. Looks like I better revisit all the things I didn't think I would "have" to do. Thanks!!

Heyyy first off what kind of doctor tells you that? thatss crazy, id be like im here to pay you for service lady not advice! i would report her. I have been trying for about 8 months but i had a miscarry about 5 years ago when i wasnt trying and i understand your stress!!! especially when our guys are soo hopeful . Do u know exactly when you ovulate? and what is your average period cycle? i am a little irregular too i mean it can be 34, 36 and then one month was 25 ;/ was wierd but yeah. i have been using a cool app for few months on my android to track keverything called Period Tracker, otherwise id be lost. stay in tune with your body, like i get joint pain during ovulation and cramps and very tired and sore breasts leading up to ovulation. what do u know so far about your cycles and everything? right now i believe im about 3 days past ovulation and hate waiting but not gonna stress. i also drink alot of caffiene so kinda worried thats stopping me

I know right! Well this doctor ended up going out of business or whatever happens go terrible doctors. Karma. My boyfriend says " we will just keep trying, I mean its not like we are being safe so it has to happen eventually" haha. Well I hope so anyway!! He has two (5&3) from a previous marriage, so sometimes it feels like he's not worried since he's already a daddy, but I know he's trying hard to be supportive. I'm not sure when I ovulate. I tracked it about a year ago on my phone, but we got so busy I got lost and it was all ruined. I should try it again. When. I say I'm irregular I mean very.....like sometimes I don't have a period for 5 to 6 months. Its crazy but I guess my mom was like that and she had 4 of us, but my sister was like that and she had to do IVF. I'm trying not to stress and to stay positive. I just wish there was an easy fix. Good luck to you!!!

thatsjust inaneto hear the oc said at lol, she must have hought he job was s a hycologist not obgn lol,id find family plannin clinic, i was looking in my aeatoo but idont hav insurnce willhave to py up fonto chec lood n all that n i know labs ot alo! sooooooo odont get or priod for 5-6 moths huh?? i havehear that lot before, fist off our horomones are the ones reponsible for ur periods coming and going, so if i were you id get them checked!!! wy dont you try taking vitex (chasteberry) it helps regulate horomones naturally!!! iknw how it is to see someone u love have kids but not you. it may be easy for him to ntworry since he has kids, it sucks my ex had two kids, so i understand that!! try vitex tho its cheap at he store, or evn better could r this stff calledf fertility blend it gives everythng u need and has chasteberry in it too!! do u vhave a gnc whereur at? sry my dumb keyboard pizzzzn me off lol

 

[JennyBLove]

wow alot of letters were missing lol sorry gonna change my keyboard lol

 

[WhitneyB]

Haha. That's OK. My phone does that all the time! I've never heard of those before but I.will have to check it out. It very well could be the hormones, what an easy fix that would be! I have a GNC about 30 minutes from me so I could go there! We also have this natural herb store too so maybe ill check out both.

 

[JennyBLove]

yeah for sure!!! natures made products are good too. i went n just got a bbt thermometer too but forgot to get folic acid vitamins :/ yeah look into something that will regulate them naturally of course. doctors will give clomid n stuff like that to regulate them n make u ovulate too if you dont. but thats something i will look into a lil later after i cover all my other basics too.

 

[WhitneyB]

Well thank you! I will probably go this weekend and see what I can find. So get the fertility blend? Anything else? What other things like tools should I get? You said you got a thermometer....

 

[JennyBLove]

No prob well for starts if you want to cover all the vitamins u should have i would do the fertility blend which is at gnc it has pic of pregnant girl on front and it also has chasteberry in it! vitex is all chasteberry but fertility blend covers all, and folic acid for sure.....get a digital basal thermometer!! it comes with a calendar to track too but u can use app on your phone for that! regualr thermometers dont work as well and these are for predicting ovulation and family planning, i gotta research how to use correctly n know temps still .....maybe get some digital ovulation tessts too so u can pinpoint O. and with the thermometer only take it before u get out of bed in the morning right away!!! cuz when u move and drink n throughout the day it changed so u need first wake up temp

 

[JennyBLove]

If your in u.s for fertility Blend its $40 here where im at a lil spendy but worth it, https://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2134276 theres the website info on it!! the reviews seem great!! i need to get some!

 

[JennyBLove]

n the basal thermmometer i got at walmart $9 something

 

[WhitneyB]

So I bought the ovulation tests. Missed my ovulation by one day next time!

 

[JennyBLove]

awwww shoot! yeah i guess i must have O'd a few days earlier then i thought last cycle cuz i got my AF on Monday night i believe. She got me bad this time lol. But thats okay cuz i going out of town tomrw night n wanna party lol. Next month will be better and this time i'm using opks so i know what day for exact!! now that we have all the tools we need lol. and i knew it was comming on cuz my temp dropped after raising for three days. Made an appointment for for next monday for tests on fertility but might just wait n try for few more months first Cheers to next month for us

 

[JennyBLove]

Also i read an article on dollar store opk's and it said they are same quality as rest for cheap....the only thing is they are prolly best if u know around the time u might cuz since i just started doing them i'll need to do it twice a day and starting right after my af ends till it starts agian. it better come up
