Garden I'm right there with you honey Our Dr's are still refusing to help until it's been 2 years trying, despite me having Endo and PCOS, and apprently since getting the mirena removed one period every 3 or 4 months

This is our 14th month trying and I honestly have considered just giving up completely, esp since a couple of months ago I got that depressed about it I was contemplating things I really shouldn't have been

Trying hard to stay positive right now and focus on the wedding but at the back of my mind is "why can't I have a baby!" -- I have fought sooo long for it I feel heartbroken at every hurdle

Even though we have been actively trying for the past 14 months it's been something I have wanted for most of my life Even had to go through a dangerous surgery to untwist my stomach and uterus, as well as for endo scarring removal to get to this point

Then on top of that I have limited mobility due to health issues that mean I have weight issues, to which the Doctors say they can't help me lose as I can't maintain an exercise programme

Also found out this week that out of all the other options for a baby, we have very few
Due to my health we won't qualify to adopt or foster
My medications for other things mean that IUI or IVF is out of the question
Serrogacy is beyond our financial means

So if we can't do this naturally with some medical assistance then we won't ever get that little bundle

Somtimes life just loves to screw you over

Sorry - kindda feeling it hard tonight

I'm so sorry hun. Sending LOTS of hugs and all my baby dust to you!

 

[Calasen]

Bless you beautiful ladies - I was bad today and bought a test! -- now when do I test??? sooo tempted to right now!

 

[Calasen]

oh well test was negative so must be another 3 month wait

On the plus side I have been distracting myself and have made the 2 centrepieces for my wedding, along with my bouquet, and one of the bridesmaids corsages

Ages till the wedding mind but I love creating it all

When are you getting married Calasen? I hope you're feeling better. TTC sucks! My best friend who has been trying since 2006 and lost one of her tubes, tries to keep her spirits up, but I now know after reading all these threads and hearing stories, how bad she must really feel. I never could feel her pain really because I didn't understand it. Now I do, and it makes me wanna cry. There's a whole community of women out there who suffer the same infertility issues and it's heartbreaking. I just think the only thing to do is keep praying, and hopefully god's listening. Hugs!

It's an odd one tbh We are both from big families so although we only having family and very close friends theres still gonna be 100 people

We have a budget of £0 though as I am on disability and OH is my full time carer so we are doing it as cheap as possible

But we have evil plans!!!

One BIL is a photographer, ones a DJ, and my parents are publicans So theres a small fortune saved there My MIL is on the commitee at the hall where we are having the reception, so we are getting that free

Because OH is photosensitive we can't have a light show so are getting fairy lights in the january sales to decorate with

It's also a steampunk theme, so it means a custom dress which I am making myself will put up pictures if you guys are interested Been having fun making all the things for it

Although on a seperate note - I have had intense cramping tonight, at one point OH thought I had lost my mind as I was on my hands and knees on the floor panting like a dog as was the only way I could take the pain It comes and goes though so not sure if I should go A&E or not, or call a doctor. It's all around my overys area and feels like nasty period cramps x1000. -- Hoping to avoid going to A&E and doctors though as I am attending the wedding blessing of OH's best friend this morning/tomorrow (its 5am right now) and OH is the best man

Oh my, right now I am missing my Mirena IUD. I haven't had a period in 5 years and this sucks. Did anyone find that their first period after removal was abnormally heavy?

Ahhh, I loved my mirena and want it back

 

[taurusmom05]

Kara, yes.... I had withdrawal bleeding 4 days after removal (Sept.4) and it was AWFUL. Omgoodness Sooo bad. Lol then, I had af on October 11 (37 days later)... Again super heavy and lasted 5 days. I'm hopibg that if I don't get my BFP, my next af will be a bit more manageable!!!

 

[Kindra]

so af will be over by tomorrow... praying and hoping we catch that egg this time around!

I know! It's aweful!!!!!!! I had mine out June 8th and had withdrawal bleeding June 10th for a good nine days! Horrifying! My periods are back to a normal flow. Heavy one day and light for 2. It gets better. Now if they would just become regular!...urgh!

 

[Kindra]

ugh that sounds awful!

 

[taurusmom05]

so af will be over by tomorrow... praying and hoping we catch that egg this time around!

Good luck!!!!! Sending you lots of baby dust!!!

lol - yea, I didn't like having a period again at all! Mine actually started about a year after I got the Mirena though so by the time I had it removed, I was used to them. They did get heavier after removal than while I had it in though. And the removal bleed was awful! UGH.

How's everyone else doing?

Calasen - where are the wedding pics we were promised??

Taurusmom - Have you decided when you'll test? Do you also chart your BBT or anything like that?

Kindra - good luck to you this cycle!

Gabby - Three day periods would be a godsend, lol. Mine vary from 4-5 but thankfully are pretty regular. Where are you in your cycle? Also, I can't remember if I already mentioned it but I found out my training will be in Stockton - how far is that from you? I leave at 5am tomorrow morning, ugh!

Afm - I'm 5dpo and going back and forth between depressed and hopeful. I think I'm driving OH crazy. My temps aren't following any pattern of the last eight cycles so I'm hoping that means something different has happened (bfp!). On the other hand, I was reviewing the test results from the last blood tests I had done in August and my levels were so screwy that it really makes me think it won't be possible for me to get pregnant naturally. I know I posted a few days ago we were going to take a step back from ttc, but we're going to go ahead with the fertility appt on 11/22 and then re-evaluate from there. They'll likely do more blood tests for me and OH will get a semen analysis. I hope everything "works" and I hope that will let me relax a bit!

 

[taurusmom05]

I was going to start temping but when I opened the box of my new thermometer I ordered... It only only read XX.X ... So I sent it back and ordered a new one. It's called a basal thermometer, i guss I just assumed it would go more than 1 tenth.
