Too Long! Buddies wanted :-D

[Jojono2]

Hi everyone,
Am in need of some buddies have decided I have to fall pregnant this year, my little boy is now 5! I do not want him to be an only child and we have been ttc since a few months after he was born.
Tried clomid but it messed with my eyesight so not allowed that anymore Did one cycle of soy but because I dont know when or even IF i ovulate its quite hard to keep track of.

So wanted some people who are ttc and are willing to share the ups and downs of it all, and maybe a few hints and tips along the way!

Hello JoJo.

I have a little girl who is now 2 year's and 1 month old. We have been TTC for 2 year's now. Yes since our daughter was a month old. Iv alway's wanted load's of children and im feeling so low that i cant even concieve my second. I have not tryed any thing like clomid, IVF or IUI. I bought Folic Acid 3 day's ago and started taking them and hopeing they will help my body as i dont eat anothe food with it in. I have a 27-32 day cycle and ovulate around Cycle Day 14 (CD14). I have been charting everythink for 3 month's this cycle. It help's me keep track of my temp's, cervical mucas and position, when i had and if my score is high around ovulation, And all my symptom's and much more. I would defo recommend you try charting if you dont already. Take a little peek at my chart and sign up on the top right hand corner.

My Ovulation Chart

It's really confusing and depressing that i can not get pregnant considering i got pregnant so quickly with my daughter we didnt even have to try. I understand what you mean about your son being the only child, i wouldnt wont that either. I just feel like crying ever day, im not an emotional women im normally really strong but the last couple week's iv been really emotional and just keep crying at nothink. Silly really but i just cant help myself. Iv got a doc's app on the 21st of this month to see if i can get some fertility test's done. sooner rather then later. Long story cut short, i went to see doc in january and he said wait six more month's before having test's but i cant wait that long just incase somethink is wrong and then i cant have kid's, touch wood there aint.

I hope we can share our journey of TTC together and am sending you load's of sticky magical baby dust. x x x

Hello to you all! A little more about me, i have pcos aswell, i feel pregnant with my son, to my complete surprise, after about a year and a half of not really trying, i didnt know till i was 9 weeks but since him ive had nothing

xxjessicaxx-i have tried charting but i forget some mornings to do my temp & i dont ovulate every month so it gets kinda frustrating! You seem to have pretty regular cycles though, fingers crossed for the doctors though :-D

Nat86- what tablets are you going to be taking? have you ever tried soy?

Dylis-Are you trying anything to help you concieve? is that your dog??? Hes sooo cute. Did it take long to fall pregnant with your 1st?

 

[Little_Ratbag]

Hi ladies, we are trying for number 2 aswell, although not as long as you guys only 13months. Our other little cherub is 3 and I am so with you about the age gap not wanting to be too big. I had a laparoscopy a couple of weeks ago, which showed endo (and they removed). I had been on the waiting list for that procedure for 4 or so months, so happy to have it out of the way. I am keen to hear about the 'soy' thing you are talking about... please explain...

Hello hun and welcome. x x x

 

[No Doubt]

Hi Ladies, always looking for buddies. A little about me...ttc since 09/10, 23 cycles, and we just did our first (and hopefully last) IUI. I was diagnosed with pcos when I was 21 or 22...feels like it was so long ago. I O on my own but have been on 8 cycles of clomid. Hoping this is our month.

Have you tried opks Jojo? At least with those you can see if the hormones associated with O are increasing or not.

 

[Jojono2]

Little_ratbag- Soy is like a natural clomid, its proper name is soy isoflavones. It is ment to have a very good success rate, you can buy it in holland & barrett & tesco, i tried one cycle but i dont think i took enough and havent done another cycle with it.....yet! im hoping to start again on my next cycle.

No Doubt- I haven't tried opks no, ive heard about the clear blue fertility monitor, that has rave reviews, i do keep thinking about it, do you use them?

Although im on CD25 and for the last couple of days ive have ovary twinges and a dull stomach ache, managed to bed yesterday morning though so if it was ovulation i shoulda caught my egg!!! I suppose this is wear the opks wouldve come in handy!!! but ive never had the twinges and aches together or for as long?!

 

[No Doubt]

I've heard of people on CB monitor and from what I've heard they like it. I don't use it cause my cycles are pretty regular and I can pin point my Os. It wasn't always like that though. I used o skip cycles left and right until I got married. But I use the opks now cause the fs said to. I get really bad O pains so I know when I'm Oing. They would help in our case cause your cycles are irregular and even on the long cycle as long as you keep using them until you O you should catch your fertile cycle. The monitors are good too...a little pricey, but they work. A lot of people order their opks on Amazon cause you can w lot for cheap...like 50opks and 25 hpts for $9. I think you should give it a shot.

 

[nat86]

hey jojo, not sure yet which ones but probable clomid, they seem to be the most popular, not tried soy.... never actually heard of it being good for fertility tbh, do you use it? iv been taking raspberry leaf tea and agnus cactus though, both are supposed to seriously help fertility but you have to stop talking them as soon as u ovulate, must be working iv had my first positive ov taking them, i also cut out caffiene too, was so much harder than quiting smoking but i feel better for it now,
make sure you stay lying down with u cusion under you or with your legs in the air for about half an hour after BD i used to be in the habbit of getting up straight after which wasnt helping spermies stay where their supposed to be
if your going to chart OV dont use cheap test sticks they dont often work,
good luck hun
lots and lots of

Hello everyone! :-D
well im on cd 5, took my first dose of soy last night, 161g, holland & barrett, weird doses?!?!? I have tried soy once before on days 1-5 but had no luck, although i defintely had twinges in my ovaries, planning on doing 161g tonight and tomorrow then 207g the last 2 days, im going to do temping but am terrible at remembering to do so, so we will see how that goes! Does anyone know the rules with temping? i.e how long after you've woke up is the temp valid for? and when do you bd with temps? i thought you only knew you'd ovulated after you had with temping?

 

[Popcornpy]

Hi Ladies,
I am new to this site. Thought I might try something different. Don't really have anyone to talk to about what we are going through. We have been trying for a little over a year. I have gotten pg twice since last July both ended in miscarriage. I was also diagnosed with endo about 2 yrs ago now. I am now on my second round of Femara and I go for cd11 scan in the morning. I do have two children already who are 4 and 2 and we so want more!!!

 

[Little_Ratbag]

Hey there Pop! We have also been trying a little over a year for our 2nd. Our first is 3 now, so Dying to give him little friend. So sorry to hear of your losses Have you had your scan yet? How did it go? Did you conceive naturally or with assistance with your other 2 cherubs?

 

[Indiapops]

Hey ladies...can I join

We have been trying 15 months using a donor.
Sometimes I ovulate sometimes I don't. I do use opk's and aways pick up my surge which is weird. I started taking agnus castus 3 months ago, it has made me ovulate this month (progesterone came back at 40n/mol 5dpo)
My 2nd appointment with the FS is next month, so I would like to come of the agnus castus now... as I want everything out my system incase I need more tests... I have been thinking of taking soy but a little concerned coming of the agnus castus may mess up my ovulation dates ..& I can't find any info on how long it takes to get out of your system... and I know both shouldn't be taken together...

I did start temping last month, from the posts I've read you need to take temp before you move at the same time each day but your temp only rises after ovulation x

 

[Little_Ratbag]

Hi India, Sorry to hear of your struggles. Has your FS looked at Clomid to make you ovulate on a regular basis? Do they know what the underlying problem may be? I have never taken Soy, but have heard good things, so fingers crossed this is what works for you. Chin up, things will sort themselves out Baby Dust to you ...

 

[Popcornpy]

Hi Little, I did go today for my scan my follicle was 19.3 so I go Monday to do another scan to see if I can induce ovulation. She did say I might ovulate by myself which will be fine and we will see all of that for sure on Monday. I have always gotten pregnant naturally. My two kids want another baby so bad.

Hey, he hasn't really told me anything as yet he's sent me for a HSG and internal ultrsound.. both came back fine so I'm just waiting on my appointment... although I have put what I have tracked into a chart from the past year.. & had someone take a look and it seems I may have a LP defect... as I think 2 of my blood tests where done on the wrong days ... I am hoping its just going to be a case of taking clomid.. but I guess time will tell... the waits are just soooo long... I'm going in armed with a pen and paper this time lol...
Best of luck to you xxx

 

[Jojono2]

Hey ladies, how is everyone?
I'm on cd 8 today, last dose of soy tonight, so ive done 3 days at 161g and 2 days at 207g, been having a few pinches and twinges over last couple of days and today im getting some ewcm? i am temping, my temps are slowly rising, when i look at other charts everyones temp seems to fluctuate up and down but mine are just rising? is this a good thing? x

 

[FlyGirl]

Hello eveyone!! Can I join also?

I don't have any kids(yet), but DH and I have been TTC for over 2 1/2 years now and I would love some buddies to talk and struggle with since I dont have anyone to talk to. We have done all testing and so far are "unexplained". I'm CD13 right now and will most likely start clomid this month along with IUI. BABY DUST to everyone!
