Praying for Christmas Miracle

[Cat Mum]

Hello Ladies,

This is my first post, but we have been ttc for 2 years. Every AF seems to affect me worse and worse and I thought that I'd try join one of the forums that I have been reading for years for additional support.

I have PCOS, probably never ovulated before I started treatment. Clomid and Fermara did nothing - but injectibles (Gonal F and Pergon) made me ovulate. They were gruelling though. There was lots of monitoring, blood work and internal ultra sounds. We did IUIs with them also to increase our chances. In August I had an ovarian cautery (aka drilling). For the past four cycles I have ovulated 3 out of 4 times with Femara. But no pregnancy.

AF is due any day and I feel her coming. Hope hasn't vanished however. Until I have proof, half my mind believes this could be the time. It could be a Christmas miracle. I have delusions of taking a test tomorrow and showing a BFP to my husband as the ultimate Christmas gift. The other half of my mind knows these symptoms only can mean one thing. It's a BFN. It's a brutal roller coaster ride, isn't it?

Merry Christmas everyone.

Welcome Cat Mum! Sorry to hear you're having such a rough journey but you're in good company.
I'm also having delusions of a Christmas miracle, hope you get yours!

Welcome! I'm fairly new around here as well.

I like this forum better than any others I've joined/read through. BabyGaga's TTC forum seems more for those with little to no infertility problems or who are only TTC for a few months before getting their BFPs and that started to depress me. Others just had a few girls who seemed, uh.. not very friendly? Anyways, like she said, you are in good company here.

Like you, I'm dreaming of a Christmas miracle here. Providing my body is responding to the Vitex I started last cycle (and according to the other cues I'm getting with cramps/CM), I was due to ovulate on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day. I really hope this works because I'm about two inches from the edge with all of this TTC. Hopefully, it will be the one for you as well.

Oh I'm in your position too. 2 years of TTC, but with different problems to you. AF is due today / tomorrow and I've been having cramps for about 8/9 days. Very u usual for me. Also feeling sick and tired this month. I try so hard not to read into any symptoms as I know my body tricks me month after month into believing ill get a BFP, and I don't take tests any more (too heartbreaking to see yet another little white box). I guess I'll just wait and see if AF arrives... Again...

Good luck!!
