Resisting the title Wonky Cycles R Us....boarding the Maca Train to BFP Central!

Loving that PMA sweetie....I'm gonna hunt her down and burn her broomstick I think....then all the maca girls will be safe:winkwink::lol:

Sorry Hun...I didn't notice that you were 8dpo....ignore me....but I've everything crossed for the
8th:winkwink::hugs:
 
:happydance: Yeah! All the Maca girls will be rooting you on. But to be honest it shouldn't be too hard to chase her down and burn her stick.. She's Aunt flow,.. so I'm guessing she ain't got the running legs that she used to ;) lol.

And thank you! I've got everything crossed too! :D
 
SBB...I haven't peaked at your chart hun...how's the O front going?


I'm personally very suspicious of Endo but she wont do the laproscopy to rule it out because they manage it by sticking you on BCP of which obviously we don't want....:shrug:....does anyone have any experience of this?

Hi hun,

I have got 2 smileys in a row now - finally! It was beginning to do my head in!

Anyway... Sorry the :witch: got you....

I also think I have endo - docs haven't been that helpful.

I went to them about 2 years ago because I was getting loads of spotting, even when I was on the pill. All they did was keep changing my pill. I researched it and went back and said I thought I may have endo - this pissed them off. They don't like to do their own job, but if you do it for them - that's even worse!!
So they sent me to a 'specialist' along with a shitty letter from the doc to the specialist saying the patient 'has convinced herself she has endo'. Whatever! They said the same thing as the docs, that they could manage it with BCP. They did also say they could do a laporoscopy, but because I wasn't TTC at the time, they talked me out of that and sent me off with my pills.
They were so crap I never bothered going back.

Since TTC I have been to new docs, they did an internal ultrasound and found something on my ovaries (no-one has yet explained what) that suggests I have psoc. So fine, maybe I do. But it doesn't explain more than half of my other symptoms - which point to endo - I tried to show the doc my list of symptoms, she wasn't interested... I had to force her to read it!! She did agree that a lot of the symptoms could be endo.
I asked about a Lap but they told me I need to be trying for a year first. But then said they will do it if you're in a lot of pain. I couldn't believe this, I had literally just said that I was getting extremely painful periods to the point I couldn't even leave the bathroom on the first day, and that I get pains that double me over... ???????
So she sent me away telling me to come back for a blood test on CD1 (that was what I'd actually gone in for, but 2 docs have sent me at the wrong time in my cycle) and said I can 'relax' for a couple of cycles now until they get PCOS results back... great!!

I realise this is turning into a rant....

So anyway...

How long have you been trying?
Do you have any other symptoms?

I hope they sort it out for you hun, I think the key is to put your foot down & demand some answers/treatment!

:hugs:
 
hi-dee-ho ladies.. at least it's FRIDAY!!!!

Geesh SBB I can't believe your DR.... but then again I can, I work in the medical insurance field and deal with all kinds of Drs'... and OH YEAH 2 days in a row.... SWEET, now get to :sex:

WelchRose sorry abut getting AF but hey we are kinda on the same cycle, yes.. no... LOL I am day 3... so O should be March 17th.. woooo hoo St Paddy's day, and well I am Irish

BellaBlu I am sure hoping with ya on a BFPon either Bdays' that would be wonderful....

ok so off to start working

Have a wonderful weekend, we are off to help our friends move into their new home tomorrow and that's about that

ENJOY ladies
 
SBB- That's horrible honey, that would piss me off about the doc's as well :hugs: FX'd that you don't have endo, that's painful stuff! What are your symptoms? It's in my family as well but I don't have it that I know of thankfully. Though I'm in the process of doctors visits for pain and such as well! Easy for THEM to tell you to "relax" .. I'm stuck on the idea that EVERY doctor that deals with women TTC should be a woman who had trouble conceiving herself,... That would make things alot more compassionate dont you think? :) Good Luck hun, hope the news you get back is better than you anticipate. FX'd.

Kelster- I remember you saying your OH is a wrestling coach right? Mine just started that as well.. ;) Thanks for being hopeful for me! I can use all the PMA I can get right now. Have a beautiful friday! :flower:

yeah he does the little guys, I think from kindergarten to 5th grade.. it's a LONG season here, starts in Nov and ends now... UGH but pop warner football is worse... that is little guys playing football- (lol not soccer) that starts end of July with practice Mon-Friday the entire month of August and ends in October............

Like I just said to my friend this morning, ask me HOW we got pregnant last Aug, I have no idea.. lol he was NEVER home

Is this the first time coaching? I hope it is a GREAT experience, I know my hubby LOVES it..

NP about being hopeful....I AM HOPEFUL for all of us.... it's gonna happen..:hugs:
 
He's doing the little ones to 5th grade too! And yes it's his first year :flower: He likes it so far! He's really passionate about wresting.. and also kids.. So it's a win win for him. :cloud9: I'm hopeful too! :) Just got the state of mind "it should have happened by now if it was going to happen!" that's not logical though, i know. :flow: ;)
 
It's a no to the OV for me - grrrrr - not pleased - stupid body *grump*
 
SBB- That's horrible honey, that would piss me off about the doc's as well :hugs: FX'd that you don't have endo, that's painful stuff! What are your symptoms?

Hi Hun, I have a long list of symptoms!! Extremely painful 1st day of period, heavy bleeding, pains throughout the cycle, extreme pains sometimes in my ovary areas (both sides) that cause me to double over (but literally lasts 2 seconds), pain during/after :sex: sometimes, spotting at random times, v long erratic cycles (think that's PCOS), lower back pain, headaches.

Seems like loads when it's all written down - it's really not that bad and I could easily live with it, if it wasn't for TTC. I think it could prevent me from getting that BFP so I just want them to take it seriously! And yes, totally agree that fertility docs should have had to try to TTC so they actually understand!!

What are you going to the docs for (if you don't mind me asking?). How long have you been TTC? Sorry if you've already said I just get so confused between all the people on here!! :shrug:

Kell - Have a lovely weekend - and thanks for your group PMA! I think we're all gonna get our BFPs soon! :hugs:
 
That does sound like Endo, to a "T" and if your doctors don't take that seriously they need a boot up the ass. I hope they get it taken care of hun.

This is our 10th cycle.. and last month I was having severe pains like the ones you described.. in my pelvis! It started mainly in the right side so I was really worried the pain might be appendicitis (it got that bad!). Enough to make you stop what you're doing and double over! But just like you said, they only last a moment. I had them for about 3 weeks, 6 or 7 different times a day.. some more painful than others. And on top of that I had irregular bleeding last cycle which wasn't normal.. I bled for 13 days BETWEEN periods.. but it wasn't "red" it was brown and black. So I was concerned. It's all subsided now besides the occasional dull ache. So I think it may be a Cyst that has shrunk down enough to where it isn't causing as much pain! But won't know until monday when I go back for a Pap, .. they just checked my hormonal levels and such on tuesday. :hugs: hope everything works out though, for the both of us! I have faith that it will.
 
morning

up an at them , gotta help our friends move today ...gonna be a LONG and exhausting day

SBB- that sounds so painful. I am very sorry you have to go thru that

BellaBlu- he wll def enjoy it ..I only went to a few matches when DH was coaching our nephew, but Kyle is up in the middle school now


Holly B- sorry about the no ov, like I said to SBB, keep your chin up, it WILL happen

Hey Lovely:hugs:

It's all pretty crappy hun isn't it!
We've been trying for 19mths now and it's coming up to 12mths since the last mc.
I've always had extremely painful periods right since their onset at 13. They've also been very heavy with pretty huge clots....super plus tampax and sanitary towel last an hour together for the first couple of days. Cramps like you often both sides. A lot of low backache. I also get horrible "double-you up" kinda pain when I have to open my bowels on cd1. At random points throughout my cycle if I get constipated (I tend to alternate between that and dashing to the loo:blush:) that also can start off short term heavy bleeding again with clots. Bleeding pretty much most of the time at the moment as the charts show:dohh:

I was on BCP 12yrs ago when I was 18 but had to come off of it because it was giving me migranes with visual effects. They then tried the progesterone only pill and I bled continuously on that so stopped that and went back to nothing and haven't been on anything since.

I think my plan of attack is not to say I think I have endo but I have done research on the ob/gyne's that work in my local hospitals and will be asking my GP to refer me to one that I know has a specialist interest in endo and minimal access surgery used for endo. My GP's a lovely man....only wish he was an ob/gyne:dohh::rofl: I'm sure he won't have too much of a problem in doing it as I've been under my gyne for 3.5yrs now and am obviously geting nowhere fast.

The website was https://www.drfosterhealth.co.uk Don't know if it would be any good to you hun:hugs:

As for the witch...it never really came to anything:shrug:...and now my temps are rising after having not gone down below my coverline...confused??....I sure as hell am!:dohh: I don't know whether to think that maybe I didn't O on cd17 but have only just O in which case it's a fruitless tww as with all the spotting/bleeding going on there's been no:sex:
Any experienced charters amongst us???...I used to think I was one:dohh::rofl:

Hope everyone is having a good weekend:hugs:
 
Hi
Im new to this site and not sure what to write ... Iv been TTC for 14 months now and had no luck
My other half and I just started taking maca pills on friday 5th march and I was just wondering how long it took any of you to feel the difference of maca and to conceive ... Any answers would be great and any more suggestions on how to get pregnant fast would be much help

Thank you x
 
:hi: BabiesPlease...welcome Hun.
All of us on here are pretty new to Maca hun and most of us have only started taking it in the last two weeks. Some people respond quite quickly to it thou...I've definately seen my energy levels rise but not really a lot of other changes yet.
Hang in there and keep us updated:hugs:

Where has everyone been this weekend?....so quiet in here.
Hope you've all had good weekends....hopefully catch you all later xxxx
 
Hope you're all doing great! :flow:

Back to the doctors today, Gotta get violated :(
 
Thank you for the response .. I have done quite a bit of research on maca but not come up with much on people getting pregnant from it. How much maca is everyone taking daily just out of curiosity?

Hope all is well with everyone :)

xx
 
I know what you mean hun about the success stories....I searched maca on here and going back about a year ago there were a few ladies taking it and they seem to have either got babies or are pg now... going by their signatures.

I started off taking 4 x 500mg capsules a day, two at breakfast and two at lunch these past couple of days thou I've been taking 2 in the morning and 3 at lunch so a total of 2500mg. Hope that helps:hugs:
 
Hiya Bella...Hope all goes ok at the Docs sweets:hugs:

Is this really your last cycle ttc?:hugs:
 
Hi Welsh! :hi:

I've hardly been on over the weekend, just on my phone but it's too difficult to write long replies on that!! OH and I had a really nice weekend, we actually did loads of DIY and it was really cool... He usually whinges about doing DIY & I end up doing it all but he got to sit outside in the sunshine (with a huge coat and hat on!) painting the fence so he was happy...

Just wanted to reply to your message anyway:

We've been trying for 19mths now and it's coming up to 12mths since the last mc.
Hun that's rough, I am struggling and it's only been 6/7 months... Do the docs know what has caused your MCs?

I hate to say it but it does sound like endo. I think given how long you've been trying, once you see the new gyne (and if they think you have endo) you should push for a laparoscopy. It could 'clear you out' so to speak and might help you conceive and hold on to the beanie this time round... I hope they get their act together - it's so frustrating. :growlmad:

The website was https://www.drfosterhealth.co.uk Don't know if it would be any good to you hun:hugs:

Thanks hun I am going to have a look at this now :hugs:

That's weird, I'm gonna have a peek at your chart now - will let you know my thoughts!! Although I should warn you I'm not an expert!! :hugs:
 
Well just looked at your chart - it was looking pretty good til the drop today :dohh:

I was going to say :test: but I can see you already have been...

FX you're not out hun, it's not gone below coverline yet :hugs:
