Trying preseed this time!

[Mrs.326]

MrsKibler - yay for your appointment on Tuesday!! Keep us posted! Best of luck

Kzee - that looks pretty close. I would start DTD now (every other day) and DTD once a day when you finally get a strong positive. Hopefully that will give you a better shot. If you're not on clomid now, I would recommend some of the supplements I've mentioned before (fertilaid for you, zinc for your hubby).

Hope - My fingers are still super crossed for you! Come on BFP!

Hi hope1409, thanks for your info, does indeed sound similar! It's good that you were prescribed clomid. I'm going to ask my doc for it next week! Have a feeling he won't prescribe it but I'll beg! We've been trying for ages now so maybe he will.

You've definitely put my mind at rest a little! Sorry about your mc, must have been so hard. Good look this cycle, I have everything crossed for you and us all who want it so bad! Xxx

Aw you're so kind! Thank you so much.

I've not been prescribed any clomid as yet, I'm seeing the doc next week so hopefully the low progesterone will be a good enough reason to prescribe it, fingers crossed! I don't see the point in waiting seeing as its already been what seems like forever!

Got the vits on order too. Thank you for all your help x

Hi Kzee,

I think I have weak ovulation partly because ladies on here who have lower (but still ok) Progesterone numbers have been told similar things by their doc (as Hope said) and partly because I'm now onto month 14 and not PG yet!

How long have you been ttc? Have you been referred to a fertility specialist or are you still with your GP? My GP said that (in the UK) it is only fertility specialists that can prescribe Clomid...but this may be different depending upon where you live?

This is why I am trying Soy Isoflavones this month as they are supposed to be the natural Clomid...it really seems to help some women, some women find it doesn't do much apart from maybe make O a little stronger, and the rest find it makes things worse. I figure the docs won't do anything for me now until November so what have I got to lose in giving it a go!! You just take it the same way as Clomid - for 5 days at the beginning of your cycle.

GL with your docs appointment next week! xx

I used preseed for the first time this last month and I just found out today that I am pregnant!!! That stuff seriously works! Love it!

Goodluck, hope you get your BFP!!!

Thank you so much! God, it's hard isn't it this TTC malarky!

Well, me and my OH have been together for 10 years, I came off the pill after 2 years together, purely because I was lazy and haven't used any contraception for 8 years. We've been officially TTC for 8 months, which doesn't sound long but my GP put us down as trying for 2 years due to NTNP for such a long time. I always suspected something was wrong but hoped it was just that we'd just not caught the egg So now we find I have low progesterone and he has low sperm count/motility. Does your OH have any issues?

I'm still with my GP and have my appointment with him on Tuesday and then retake my bloods on day 21 again on the Thursday. I'm just wondering if a weak OV suggests PCOS? I may be being paranoid about it but I just don't understand what would be causing weak OV? I did another couple of OPK yesterday and this morning after getting an almost positive and it's now lighter than on Wednesday!? I would have thought (hoped) it would have gotten stonger but I guess it makes sense seeing as it appears to be weak. Arrgghhh! Too much to think about!

I'm going to try Soy Isoflavones like you, as you said i guess there's nothing to lose! I'll speak to my GP about the possibilty of clomid but not holding out much hope.

Good luck Mrs B, you deserve your BFP and i'm sure it's on it's way! x

Congratulations! Amazing news! I haven't been so lucky yet, but that's down to some underlying issues it would seem. H&H 9 months love!

Yeah, really hard - I didn't expect it to be this hard! Wow, you've been trying a long time then It may be an idea for your GP to run bloods again. Some women have months with no or weaker ovulation for many reasons. It'd be helpful to know if this is a rare occurrence or if you normally have weak ovulation. I don't really know much about PCOS, but there are a lot of ladies on here who have it. I believe with PCOS you tend to not ovulate...and I guess if you do ovulate it would probably be quite weak. Definitely mention it to your docs. I think they really need to be referring you soon to a specialist who can carry out all the necessary tests.

My OH hasn't yet been tested - he's hopefully going to have a SA in the next few months. *eeek!*

Regarding the OPK's it could just be that you have a really short surge...or it could be that your body geared up to ovulate but didn't and will try again soon...keep testing with the OPK's. Are you close to your normal ovulation day? Do you temp? I didn't get on with it very well but a lot of the ladies on here do because it's the only way (without having a blood test) to confirm you have ovulated - you should see a spike in temperature after ovulation.

I'd give Soy Isoflavones a go, but I would let your doc carry out all the tests he/she is willing to first to make sure that it doesn't influence them. Plus, as there is a possibility that they won't work for you and could give you a longer cycle you don't want to take them when you're getting tested for things. I figure even if they do give me a longer cycle (which I hope they don't!!!!) I have 6 months to wait until referral...plus then a few months for an appointment. There are some great success stories with Soy though...as there are with other things such as Preseed.

I always feel like I need to do something new each cycle to feel like I stand a chance!

Thanks KZee, FX you get yours soon too, then we can be bump buddies xx

 

[Mrs B.]

Wow, congratulations Amazeballs!! H&H 9 months to you!! xx

Hi ladies, how is everyone? It's been a while since I posted here. Mrs.Kibler, let us know how your docs appointment goes today. Good luck!

Afm, been having af cramping since yesterday. Today I am 10dpo and I'm not feeling very hopeful anymore. Up until a few days ago, I had irritability, sore bbs, gassy....and now I have nothing besides the af cramps and lower back ache. I know it could be Implantation cramps but I doubt it. I will test Thursday morning before heading to my doctors appointment. I seriously cannot believe it's been 1 year since I fell pregnant. I really didn't think it would take this long to get pregnant again after the mc. Today is one of those days

this may be a dumb question but...what is preseed?

Preeseed is a sperm friendly lubricant. It's said that most lubes kill sperm, but Preeseed is sperm friendly and mimics cm to help the swimmers survive

 

[MrsKibler]

Hey Ladies! I had a very quick minute to tell you about my Dr appt. It went alright, the doctor was appalled nobody had done an ultrasound or any other work up before giving me clomid. I'll have an ultrasound tomorrow and the HSG Monday or Tuesday...they were having scheduling issues so I'm not sure they will be able to do it, so I hope I don't have to wait till next month because it needs to be done in between cd 5-10 only. We don't get to try this month if I have the HSG, but she said if we end up preg it wouldn't be a bad thing . Hubby will also have an SA done. After all these results are back, she wants to put me on Letrozole CD 3-7. She said its similar to Clomid but works in a different way- and hopefully won't have as many side effects and cyst issues. She wants me to call her anytime I Have cyst pain like I've been having and head in for another ultrasound....if we don't fall pregnant in couple months she wants to refer us to a UW doctor. Hopefully we don't have to go down that road because that sounds pretty expensive. Hope every one is doing well, I don't have the time to catch up on the last posts but hopefully will tonight.

Hope I did see your post on this page- Keep your head up- you are still in the game my dear. I'm sorry your year is coming up, it must be hard and I can't imagine what thats like. I'll be praying for ya!

 

[Mrs.326]

Hope - Hugs to you I can't imagine the emotions you must be feeling right now. And don't count yourself out just yet... the only symptoms I had before my BFP were a super sense of smell and AF like cramps

 

[Mrs.326]

MrsKibler - I just read your post. Sounds like your new doctor is WONDERFUL!!! I sincerely hope the new treatments work!

i never knew that!!! will be buying this for july!!

 

[Hope1409]

Mrs.Kibler that is so great that your new doctor is amazing! As for me, this week has been very odd. So Mon and Tues I had the lower backache and af like cramps which I swore she would show her face any day. Then today I have mild backache on and off and also a dull ache on my lower right side/ovary. I am not sure if it's a cyst or maybe implantation?

I tested with a cheapie this morning and bfn. I am going to test with a frer tomorrow before going to my docs appointment. I think by tomorrow I should be 11dpo if I got my smiley face on the 16th...right?

What are your thoughts on my symptoms ladies? And I will keep you all posted after my appointment. I am so nervous!

 

[Mrs.326]

Hope - let us know when you test this morning FX'd &

 

[Hope1409]

BFN this morning off to go see my doc in a few hours. I still have the dull ache on my right side so I am thinking it might be a cyst? Not sure as I have never had one to know what the symptoms are.
