Six fertility friends -TTC #1 to BFP

[DandJ]

Great, thank you Mint!! I can always count on you

 

[Mississippi03]

Wow, I concur with Mint.. how come the lab didn't have a restroom to deposit the sample into? Crazy! I would feel uncomfortable watching DH trying to jerk off beside me in the car in the OPEN. Oh yes, my DH is sooo sensitive about his performance that I just ignore him.

Give him some TLC and hopefully he will come around

Well its the actual tech lab.. Like the lab where normal depositories send their stuff to get tested.. I think usually people do it at home but because we came from out of town it was weird.

So I had 3 days of watery cm and then today I had creamy cm? I haven't O'd yet due to my temps not spiking... ideas?

Is this only your second month charting?
Check you cm again later and see if you get ewcm..
I think you O'd yesterday based on your chart.. Sometimes I would get only a tiny increase the next day but tomorrow it should be greater.. Dont be alarmed if you dont get crosshairs for a few days.. If the first rise is that small usually it takes four days to confirm


Oh and I startec spotting lol.. Well i dont know.. It could be full fledge af and hasnt decided yet.. I usually wait til the end of the day before i chart as spotting lol.. Damnnn it! Poor US tech tomorrow lol

 

[DandJ]

I've been charting on and off for the past year and I really don't think I O'd, but I was wrong last month of when I thought I O'd and it was few days earlier. Who knows

Copied from my own journal:

Well.. Today would be day two of spotting which means af by tomorrow. Although, i went for my US today and because of the pushing on my uterus, tubes, and ovaries... I think I will actually get af tonight in full force. Wait and see I suppose.

Im in a fuck it mood today. I dont have the results of my ultrasound.. But my ultrasound today confirmed it is me thats the problem!
I lucked out and agreed to have a student sitting in to learn while I was there. Of course they cant say anything because of liability it has to be my dr that tells me. But there was a couple of faces and pointing at the screen to show the student something and shortly after the student mistakenly goes. 'Do you have painful periods?'

... Funny thing is. I dont really feel like I do. My periods are actually quite short and getting shorter. My flow actually only lasts bout a day and a half outside of spotting. I get like a full heavy pressure when im on my period but never really pain. But the points and the question summed it up for me.

I get my US results a week from today and go to the specialist a week from tomorrow. At least seeing a specialist I will get the help I will need to hopefully fix whatever is wrong with me... And because I timed it so well, I will only have about 12 hours between getting results and the next morning when i see him. This way I wont have a long time to be depressed and hate myself.

.. Going to enjoy a glass of red wine now! Blah!

 

[Mintastic]

Sorry Brooke. I hope it is something with an easy fix and getting the results will help you get your BFP soon enough. Enjoy the wine!

I too am going to drink tonight. Open bar event - end of year teachers social. If I haven't O'd I might as well.

Getting really frustrated. In our thirties and after 9 years DH and I were very happy only BDing (well just sex really - not babytrying) once a week. I thought we would just have to BD EOD or every day during a few fertile days, maybe a week at most but when I keep thinking I am fertile and then turning out not to be it is just dragging on forever. I am so worried about not ovulating at all. And all the BDing is mostly just tiring rather than fun. It isn't that I don't enjoy sex. I really do. I also really enjoy candy bars but I don't want to eat them 4 days a week...

Could I join you ladies?

My name is Chevy. I'm wondering if I could join you ladies?
I'm 25 and I live in NYC. I'm TTC. I have PCOS and I am trying to lose weight as well. I also have anxiety and it can get really bad. I'm currently on break from my therapy but hoping to resume soon.

I'm currently CD 11 and I should ovulate arounD CD21 so for now we are enjoying the

Brooke- Don't give up hope. It may be just a tiny little thing with such an easy fix- you never know. Also, sometimes students ask questions that don't make any sense. I remember lots of times I was sitting in class in undergrad and a classmate would ask a question completely out of left field, and I'd be sitting there wondering if they were even paying attention. They could have been trying to impress their teacher by asking a question they thought would make them sound like they knew what they were talking about, when maybe they really didn't. Don't get yourself down- wait until you hear from your doctor and go from there.

 

[Gohan3117]

Hey ladies. I'm sorry I've been gone for so long...

I have to admit, I was a bit upset(of course wrongly so) when Stella got her BFP. I cried that day, but I was just very jealous. So Stella, I'm super sorry, I'm not angry at you or anybody, it was just something I had to deal with. But I'm alright now.

AF came with a force last week. So awful.

But nothing really new to report. I'll read through the posts in a little while and see what everyone has been up to!

Excited! Funny to see you here!

 

[Mississippi03]

Lol stella! Dont run away on us haha poor girl. I said the same thing gohan. I think thats the hard part when you actually get to know someone.

Still no word on the sa results.

Get my us results thursday then specialist fri am. Hoping we get the sa results before then!

 

[DandJ]

Yay, the thread has been revived!

Sorry Gohan, I'm sure we all get jealous of others BFPs. We still have 5 other ladies who are still trying, so we're right there with ya!

 

[Gohan3117]

Thanks, Dandj.

On my personal TWW buddies board, another friend just announced she is pregnant. Although, it really does bother me, I'm not going to lie. Her and I got our BFP's at the same time last time...both ended in MC. I absolutely wish and pray for a beautiful, perfect baby for her and her DH...but again, it so bittersweet. I'm happy for her(and for you, Stella! H&H 9 Months! ), but I'm just like...why can't it be me? 2 MC's, no baby. I'm just so emotional right now...it's ridiculous.

But anyway, a bit of an update on my end, since I've been MIA for so long...

I'm CD10 today, so about 5 days out from my fertile window. My sex drive has been up and down so much lately. I've been so exhausted, even though I'm not doing hardly anything. If I didn't know better, I'd swear I was pregnant, but I know better...

My birthday is in a few weeks, we are going to Lincoln City, OR for vacation the weekend after my birthday, it will be nice.

I was going through some possessions to organize things, and I stumbled upon my "Box of Treasures". It's a box that I keep all the things I hold precious to me. Inside I found a lot of memories, but one stuck out to me....the FRER I took when I first found out I was pregnant with our Little Eden. I know it probably sounds silly...but it really broke me apart. I had a really hard time. Mint might understand this...with my Bipolar, I've struggled for years with self-harm. I've been clean since last Thanksgiving, but I really struggled today. So please pray for me, ladies. It's becoming very difficult for me, although I'm really good at hiding it. I love you all.

Other than that, nothing super amazing to report or anything. Just thought I'd update.

 

[DandJ]

I too, also get jealous when my group of friends offline are getting pregnant. I have not experienced MC's so I can't imagine how you must feel that your friend is pregnant after MC's and you're still waiting for your sticky bean. I bet it's super hard, but we're here for you

This is an option for you since your sex drive is up and down; If you feel exhausted and don't feel like sex, but are in your fertile window, you could always have him inseminate you while you lay there either by using a oral syringe or a softcup. I'm not gonna lie, DH and I BD'd so much few days ago that I had become worn out, so he inseminated me using the Softcup.

You're in my thoughts Gohan and hoping you get your miracle very soon!

Well hubbys SA was all normal...

But my US wasnt great news. My attached picture sums it up.
I have endometreosis and they need to do exploratory surgery to rule out PCOS but chances are I have both.

PCOS that was confirmed through bloodwork and ultrasounds. You can have PCOS without having cystic ovaries. And you can have cystic ovaries without having PCOS. Did your blookword shows you to be IR?
Metformin was wonderful in regulating my cycles.

I'm happy the SA went well, at least that is one less thing you have to worry about.

Sorry about the surgery. I would get a second opinion though. Can never be too cuatious.

 

[Mississippi03]

Well I see a specialist tomorrow.. He will likely order more tests. No clue. I have to wait to see him to find out my next steps.

Have that appt at 830 then dh has laser eye surgery at 230. I will update after he gives me some clue what my next steps are

Oh and my cycles are like clock work. 25-28 days.. Ff confirmed i ovulated three months in a row. Never painful periods.

 

[Mintastic]

Hi ladies,
I am sorry I got behind.

Elena - I hope you are doing okay - I absolutely understand. I was good for years about not cutting but then had a small relapse a few years back. Fighting off those thoughts is so draining.

Brooke - sorry to hear about the endo. Everyone I know with endo has very painful periods so I agree, maybe get a second opinion.

AFM, I don't want to make anyone sad but I did get a BFP today. Keep in mind that I am considered high-risk for MC due to my eds and have had a chemical before so while I am very excited it will still be a nerve wracking time for me for a while - please keep fx I got a sticky one, thanks.

 

[Mississippi03]

Mint! Wooo hooo... Soooo excited for you!
Keeping every last finger and toe crossed that this is your sticky bean!

 

[Mintastic]

Thanks hun! So nervous!

 

[Mississippi03]

Well keep me up to date.. Thinking of you and hoping for the best
