Plus Size & TTC. Who's With Me?

[hairftsher]

Charlie, it could be any number of things! An off cycle, stress, maybe a false negative, maybe not enough hormones for a positive preggo test?

Fingers crossed for you!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Definitely not stress related. Im on vacation lol. Have sticky cm and no sign of af. Not sure when I should try to test again and not sure if maybe something is wrong with me??

 

[hairftsher]

I doubt there is anything wrong with you. It is far too early to worry about those kinds of things! Healthy couples take up to a year and that's considered perfectly normal. although to be honest, nothing is normal about conceiving. everyone is so different!

Test again and try to stay positive.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Thanks! Still no AF and I haven't tested again yet. On CD55 so I'm 13 days late.

Hi meg, thanks for the welcome.Did you get a BFP? I hope you did.

 

[MegNE922]

Nope. I got a BFN. Lol.
I have an apt Friday I do the tube scan & I'm changing doctors. I saw my OBGYN last night and he just isn't really invested in me I feel so I'm moving on.
No Clomid this cycle would have been a waste bc I'm in my fertile window this weekend and w/ the test there's a high risk of ectopic pregnancy. So I'm on to July.

Hi Meg,

I am sorry to hear that, the BFN and OB not being invested. Praying a really good OBGYN comes into your life, I know the importance of good doctor!

Well today I had my ovary test ( HSG )....not good news not bad news either.

#1 if you're going to do the test. Prepair to be mortified by the lack of personal boundaries lol.
The radiology tech was sooo sweet and nice the doc was great and showed me everything on screen and explained what we saw.
#2 it's not nearly as painful as expected. More awkward, slight cramping.
#3 on to the findings.
They had a hard time finding my cervix at first. They thought it was because I was on a X-Ray table so after some uncomfortable searching they found it. Inserted a rubbery syringe that blows up like a ballon into my uterus. Mind you I saw this whole thing!
In screen I could see my uterus. It was perfect shape and I could see one ovary. They're soo skinny. I wasn't expecting it.
The doc injected the dye and I watched it go right to the left side and out like it was supposed to. I did some wiggling and he did more searching even adding more dye but we didn't see a right side. At all. It didn't look blocked....it didn't look there at all. There was no mistaken it. the dye went to the top of my uterus there was a small point where it should have been but that's it.

The md tried to reassure me all I need was 1 working ovarie but I couldn't help but break down. I've always known since forever that something was wrong. It was kinda relieving...but still heartbreaking.so now I'm in a limbo where I don't know what's next. Does this mean I only fully O every other month? Will I have to do IUI or IVF? What?! What's next!

I have to wait until July 11th to figure anything out. I had to call my horrible OB bc he was supposed to get me an antibiotic & they hadn't !! So when my pharmacist finally called it in they gave her a script for amoxicillin I'M ALLERGIC! Oye vey!
I talked to a friend who's had a lot of fertility issues and she reccomended a fertility specialist. So I may go that route too.
It's been a draining week. Glad to be going away this weekend that's for sure.
Also I've started telling my closest friends about our issues and it really does relieve a lot of pressure.

Aw Meg, sorry to hear you had some problems with your scan. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think the ovaries are always 50/50 with which ovulates, in fact if you only have one working then maybe that one ovulates every month? I agree with going to see a fertility specialist, it's always nice to have someone who knows what they are talking about on your side! Hope it works out for you x

Hi Meg,

Sorry to hear about the HSG, ill be keeping you in my prayers. Try to enjoy your weekend.

Blessings & Babydust,

 

[MegNE922]

Today I'm not feeling depressed. I'm kinda just ok. Lol. I cried my eyes out last night and had a niece large glass of wine. The worst case I can think of is IVF if that's what it is then bring it on! When that baby comes into our life it will have been worth the wait and the heart ache.

 

[Kaeli]

I am also plus sized, I have been ttc for well over 6 months, dh and I don't want to wait any longer. I find that I get my hopes up for a Bfp but I have never had one :'(

 

[MegNE922]

It's a vicious cycle love.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

How ya holding up Meg?

I started provera this week. I'm on CD 70 and my body has tried to O 5 times since April.... I have an ultrasound on July 1st to check everything out so I'm going nothing serious is wrong. This is the only cycle I've had that I haven't O'd correctly and the longest cycle I've had. Normally they are 42 days long.

 

[MegNE922]

I'm good I've come to terms with everything. I contacted a reproductive endochronologyst I see them in august. Pretty excited

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Thats awesome meg! Fingers crossed for you that it goes well!!

 

[MegNE922]

How about you? Are you still doing the provera? What exactly is it for?

 

[Excited2See]

Hello Alll,

How are you ladies. I am plus size too and looking to jump in this thread. I hope that my size won't stop me conceiving especially since old doc said my high testosterone was helping me to build muscle faster than normal. I'm currently a size 16-18. but at 5'7 Im past pleasantly plump. I just want to be under 220 again. Im currently 256.I don't have high blood pressure but the cardiologist I spoke to said my PCOS can cause elevated blood pressure at times so Im headed to the endocrinologist tomorrow to see!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Meg. My period hasnt come and my body is having trouble ovulating this cycle. Has tried about 5 times. So dr put me on provera to "re-start" my body in hopes that I will go back to ovulating normally again.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Welcome Excited2see! Im currently 222lbs and a size 18 as well. Healthy as a horse but I'm trying to get back down to 170. As I was most comfortable there. Lol. We will see!
