Hi girls!! Hope it's ok for me to join in! DH and I have been TTC for 1 year + 1 month now - I honestly never thought it would take this long, and I can't believe it's already been over a year! It doesn't feel like it at all! I can relate to so many of your stories - my best friend who has an 11 month old just told me yesterday that she was 12 weeks pg with #2 - I tried so hard to be excited for her but inside I was just full of self pity and jealousy - I try SOOO hard not to feel that way, but how can you not?? I am happy for her, but that doesn't change the fact that I want it so badly for me and DH and it's just not fair:/ She said, "yeah, we just decided we would start trying for #2 in December, and we got pregnant that month!" I was boiling inside, not towards her personally, but I just put a smile on my face and hugged her with a congrats. How do you guys cope with this? I'm starting to feel like this is just not going to happen for us without extreme intervention.
As far as testing, I've had my HSG (all clear), DH has had SA (perfect), labs for to rule out PCOS and thyroid were normal. I had my progesterone 8 days after my bbt spike, and that was normal. I've never ovulated before CD 19, but I DO ovulate on my own. I just had 3 day labs drawn on Friday, so I'm waiting on those results. They also checked my AMH for ovarian reserve - has anyone had that tested before? My doc told me she usually doesn't test that on a 30 year old, but she wanted to since everything else has checked out normal for me.
So we are on our second month of Femara - the first month we did 5 mg CD 3-7, and this time we did 7.5mg CD 3-7, and I'm currently on CD9. Last month I didn't ovulate until CD23!! It was the worst waiting game ever. I'm hoping I O earlier with the stronger dose. I also just started using OPKs last month, so I'm going to continue with those and preseed. Sorry for the vent, but hopefully someone can relate?!
