The NEVER had a BFP thread. Lets stick together ladies!

[minuet]

I'm so sorry Jaime! How long have you been TTC? It is hard for husbands to understand the desire we women have for children, although they try to be supportive.
Your husband's appointment will help relieve your mind with some answers. *hug

For those of you struggling with PCOS,..... some very interesting information.
Shell posted in the October thread a link to some information about myo-inositol.
I did some further research, as this was the first time I'd heard about this, and decided to add it to my list of things to take.
Inositol is one of the b vitamins, and there have been some studies showing that it has high success rates in restoring ovulation and fertility in women with PCOS. Really fascinating stuff! I think it's intriguing that one doctor who was a fertility specialist said it acts like Clomid when used in a good dose ( 4 mg/day). He recommended a product called Pregnitude, which is just myo-inositol and folic acid. You can get the same benefit a whole lot cheaper just buying inositol and your regular prenatal.

Here's a link to a discussion on one of the studies https://naturalmedicinejournal.com/article_content.asp?edition=1&section=3&article=326

Sorry NurseJaime... Hope you find some answers at the urologist. My DH has been very reluctant to go get checked but we agreed that if I don't get preg this cycle that he would go get the checked. We call it "testing the jizz jug"... Sorry if that's too much lol! I have read that a lot of guys don't want to get checked bc if it comes back with unfavorable results that its a shot to their manhood... I told my DH that with as many issues as my body has how does he think it makes my "womanhood" feel... Lol.

Minuet thanks for that pcos article I will def check it out if this cycle is a bust. Thanks for the well wishes too.

Every day feels like an eternity. I tested this am and it was a very faint pos so I think the trigger shot is almost out of my system... Hopefully when I check on Wednesday it will be completely gone and hopefully by early next week I can know for sure if it was successful.

Nursejamie I'm sorry you're feeling down. I used to cry every month when af arrived, often for a few days and it was just so draining. I think the reason I have been better lately is that I realized that I can't make ttc be all that I am. I was putting off things waiting to get pregnant which I realize now is just silly. Yes it's still on my mind every day but I am making am effort to not let it control my life and it is helping. I think I've also finally accepted the fact that it will happen when it happens and I have no control over it.

I like the way you think! I have been putting things off due to ttc as well. Which I need to stop doing! Having no control over getting pregnant is so true! There are only so many things you can do to "help"...but in the end...it's out of our control. I've been realizing this lately as well.

There's a song that has been helping me through all this. It's called "Lay it Down" by Jaci Velasquez She's a christian singer that I grew up listening to. Here it is if any of you want to listen to it. I listen to it all the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvbL5YmWv1c

You're welcome!

I'm really sorry to hear about everyone's disappointments. It' s particularly hard when youfeel like you're dealing with it alone. I hope you all take as much comfort in this group as i do.

I started using digital opks this month. I'm ok cd37 and no smiley. Has anyone else had this long cycle? I'm used to having irregular periods but now i'm worried that I'm not ovulating. What could it mean?
Thanks ladies xx

It could be a twofold problem. How irregular are you talking? Months long?

It's possible that OPKs don't work for you. Some women have short LH surges and have to use an OPK twice a day - that can cost a fortune!

It's also possible that you haven't ovulated yet, or that you just are having an annovulatory cycle.

I'd suggest taking your basal body temperature. It will for sure show you if you are ovulating or not. My cycles are super irregular and crazy - on CD76 - and temping helps me figure out what's going on.

 

[turtlemomma]

ready- My schedules are really irregular- In the last year i ranged from about 29 to about 59 days. My last cycle was 48. I am ovulating though so it is possible!

I started taking clomid this month to help regulate my cycles in the hopes that it helps us time bd a little better (my husband is a musician and often away or out REALLY late)... SO far only CD 14 so we'll see!

 

[NurseJaime]

Thank you so much ladies for the support... It's so true that when I feel alone in this it really helps to rant to you girls. Even reading what everyone else is going through helps me! I'm so glad I found this forum!

I'm actually really frustrated! I've been Achey ALL day! I must have gone to the bathroom 6 times during my shift just to see if I'd started! So I honestly feel like that is messing with me!!! I'm scared to wake up tomorrow and see a negative pregnancy test... I'm thinking I might give myself another day to start...

Again, Thank you all so much!

I have an appointment on the 23rd and the nurse told me not to have sex three days prior because it could interfere with the test results. My boyfriend and I are constantly trying, so I was just curious if that is a normal request??

What test are they doing?

 

[bluckycharmed]

Seattle what are they doing during the appt? That sounds strange to me, but I guess it depends on what they are doing. I have never had a doc request that before, but who knows

Just wanted to share some personal good news with you ladies... I took the HOBET exam at the college last night which exempts me from many of the basic courses in my program and I PASSED!! Woo hoo That pretty much takes a year off my program which makes me super happy! That test was 2:45 min and it was TOUGH!

Anyway.. I will be spending the rest of the week hard core studying for 2 big tests that I have coming up.

Hope you all are doing well!!

[starrilicious]

Hi guys, lovely morning here in London. Love autumn when it's like this.

Luna/blucky - Ooh good luck you two!

I have been spotting for a week myself, starting to feel quite depressed really just wish AF would come, I doubt spotting 7 days is a good fertility sign...
