Plus Size & TTC. Who's With Me?

[MolGold]

Hi Ladies!

MCRobinson - Yay!! wow thats grt! congrats!

ExpectingTC - I know how you feel. I had a loss and I didn't want to try again for over a year. its only our cycle 2 TTC but no ovulation last cycle and haven't ovulated yet in this one. But Chin up - its a friday, and worries can always wait for Monday

 

[ExpectingTC]

Thanks LCS. I don't have PCOS. I've been tested and tested and tested. My hormones and everything are totally normal. Fortunately, I'm doing all of the right things: work out 4-6 days a week, eat extremely clean, don't smoke, do drugs, no caffeine, etc. I've lost 100+lbs.

It's just so frustrating to see me doing all of the right things and it still not happening. lol - the plight of TTC, right?

How do you not obsess? I'm a very detail oriented, type A person. This is beyond frustrating for a control freak, like me.

MolGold - love the "worries can wait til Monday." Thanks. We lost in October and have been trying since Jan (first time Doc gave the go ahead) and it *feels* like we've been trying for YEARS now.

 

[Mrs.LCS]

have you seen a fertility specialist to test all your woman goods?

 

[Mrs.LCS]

blocked tubes, endo, fibroids..any of that? do you ovulate? and whats the quality of your ovulations?

 

[Bookwrmgal]

MCR - Congrats!

BHG - I am sorry about the Dr appt. You weren't at UCHC were you? I had an endo appt there in Jan and the Dr was horrible. Russian though, not Middle Eastern

Expecting, sorry you are feeling down.

AFM- I am 10 dpo. My bbt has been all over the place this cycle. I haven't slept well and sleep with my mouth open so next cycle I really need to temp vaginally. DH and I only BD once during the O time (which was 6 days earlier than last cycle) and it wasn't very strong.
Plus, the past few days I have been slightly nauseated, feel like I have to pee a lot, weird twinge on the right side, heaviness in my abdomen, swollen bb. AF is expected on Weds if she stays true to the cycle. I was surprised that my temp went from high to higher this morning. This cycle it has been high then low then high then low. All of these things combined makes me feel like I am twisting in the wind this cycle

This was our first cycle using preseed and smep and we conceived.

 

[ExpectingTC]

LCS - I saw an endocrinologist and my OBGYN - both said I was good to go, and that if we weren't pregnant again in a year that they'd consider further testing, but neither think I need it. The D&C came back and said everything was just chromosomal and no other issues. I do ovulate, always have. Before the D&C I always spotted when I ovulated. I think my body is still just getting back on track from the MMC. I had an IUD in for 10 years prior to it. My body is probably still in shock. HA!

MCR - I'm going to try the preseed this month and see what happens.

Hello Bookwrm- No at Day Kimball Hospital not the best but they are willingly to work around my ins so it is where I am. No I didn't go to UCONN but looking at Women and Infants fertility center....

 

[Bookwrmgal]

BHG - I just started at Women & Infants. I am seeing Dr. Plante and she is amazing. I had a great feeling with all of the staff as soon as I entered the office. They are all so nice and really create a feeling of warmth and comfort there.

hi ladies also plus size 20-22 was a 28 got down to a 16-18 now back up to 20-22 after back operation im on 7dpo x

 

[ExpectingTC]

Hmm - I had a longer period this month than I have since the D&C. I was having a 3-4 day period after the D&C and this month I was 5 days and now, on the 6th day, spotting. Pre-pregnancy/D&C my period were 5-7 days.

All this stuff is so interesting when you track it. LOL

How's everyone doing?

 

[Mrs.LCS]

my cycle used to be every 28 days and bled for 4 days..like clockwork..then after D&C it was all weird..so might take a while.. or maybe not ever go back could be changed now.. helps when you chart though

im good..just waiting for my 12 week ultrasound today!! nerve wracking

 

[ExpectingTC]

Yeah, it's definitely different now. PrePregnancy/D&C: I spotted at ovulation, cycles were 27 days, heavier period that lasted 7'sih days. Post D&C: No ovulation spotting (though ovulation confirmed with OPK and temping), 25'ish day cycles and 3-4 days periods with only a day or two of heavy flow. This was my first longer cycle. Hoping that means good things.

OMG!!! 12 weeks scan!!! EEEEE - so excited and happy for you! Let us know how it goes!

 

[Bookwrmgal]

12 week scan, how exciting!

Looks like AF is coming tomorrow on CD 28. I was expecting it since this has been an all over the place cycle, but it sure is disappointing. I have to call to schedule my HSG as soon as AF appears

 

[Mrs.LCS]

Perfectly healthy 12 week scan 160 heartbeat

Hello Bookworm-are you being seen in the fertility center?

I am doing ok...husband is still in Yale hospital so not much happening on the TTC front. The first two day we were here I didn't have my met and now I keep forgetting to take it due to the craziness of DH being so sick and in hospital. Also due to crazy sleeping schedule I have had to give up temping for this cycle.

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Hello Bookworm-are you being seen in the fertility center?.

I am indeed it is a great center and very calming. It must be crazy with your husband being so sick . Make sure to take care of yourself too though. I hope he is home soon

 

[ExpectingTC]

LCS - SO happy and relieved for you! I'm sure that's exactly what you needed.

 

[Mrs.LCS]

Thanks so much! I keep going on here everyday waiting for more BFP's!!

 

[comet1234]

Great news mrs lsc!

Afm: haven't been on here for a while, it's my first Clomid cycle and I had my internal ultrasound appointment to monitor the Clomid. (CD12) I only had one dominant follicle of 10mm and a uterine lining of 3.8mm :/.

Thought I would be a lucky one and get a bfp first go.
