Trying preseed this time!

[Mrs.326]

My doctor just referred me to the nearest EPU and they wernt the most helpful! My mcs were quite close together and the nurse was quite disapproving as she had told me to wait 3 months before TTC again. Said its probably nothing and then sent me off with a load of infertility leaflets, very comforting! If we don't have any luck this cycle I think I'll go back to my doctor and put a bit of pressure on for even some basic tests. Holding out for a preseed success story though! Never realised what an emotional rollercoaster this would be!

emotional indeed! I have also heard success stories from women who take baby asprin daily... although, I would probably consult a doctor before doing that. Hopefully Preseed is all you need to do the trick! Have you tried Robi or Mucinex? I may try that this cycle since I'm on clomid and have heard it can dry up CM.

Welcome Mrs.M254! I would consult another doctor. It doesn't seem they really want to work with you.

Today I missed my Dr.'s nurse's call. (which was of course 5 minutes before they closed) So I didn't get my results back today. Its eating me up. Last night I had extremely tender breasts (which I've only noticed before AF since being off BC) but tonight its at a whole other level! I feel like they have been beat and are bruised everywhere! They feel heavy and awful....had to put a sports bra to help keep them in place ( Mind you I'm a small B so they don't move much as it is lol) And extreme abdominal pain. Sitting on the couch with a rice warmer
Felt like crying when I missed the call today. So I'm setting an alarm to call at 8:00 right when they freaking open in the morning.
Not that I hope I have PCOS but it would make sense and allow me to find answers and medicine to help me along.
Sorry about the rant.
I hope everything is well with all of you and there is lots of baby making going on
Love all your support.

Thanks for all the info girls! It was very helpful. I literally just got a visit from AF. I was so happy my husband thought I was crazy for wanting my period so bad! At this point I just wanted it to arrive so I can get to trying next month again. This gave me a 36 day cycle....is the normal range 28-35? I've read different things online.

Anyhow, good luck to all of us and let's make Feb a BFP month. You know what they say....Feb 14 is national baby making day!!! Lol let's do it girls. ::::

Oh man, that sucks you didn't get the news yeterday. Please keep us posted when you get the results today! Praying for the best!

I have never experienced breast pain like you're explaining. That sounds awful... but I have had exreme abdominal pain. TMI warning, but the abdominal pain was from constipation... the prenatals I have been taking to prepare for baby don't always sit well and sometimes they really hurt my tummy. Hopefully you get some relief soon from both of those symptoms.

LOL! Isn't it funny how your attitude can change so quickly regarding AF? My husband agrees that I should be thankful not to have one so often, but men just don't get it. No period = no ovulation = no baby! I feel pretty confident this month is going to give us lots of BFPs! GL to everyone!!

Welcome! Good luck with Preseed, hopefully you won't need to see that specialist next month. Have you tried anything else while TTC or had any blood work done? Hope you get a BFP this month as well

Mrs.326 I just got my results but the doctor hasn't been able to read them yet to give me the answers of what it means. My thyroid and Prolactin levels were fine. My FSH was 1.3 and LH was 8.1 Which I think Is low. I've been trying to find out online what it could mean, being 8.5 weeks into my cycle. But a couple of sites contradict each other. Do you know what your levels were??
More anxious now....the nurse didn't really want to give me any more information. So thats not a good sign. (I work at a hospital and whenever the nurses don't wanna break news to patients they make the doctors do it).....
Maybe I'm just reading too far into it.

I never asked for my levels - I figured I wouldn't know what they meant anyway, but she told me my progesterone was high and my thyroid was normal. I didn't even ask about FSH or LH. I wouldn't worry about the nurse not telling you what your results are... my nurse did the same thing when I called in the first time... my results were there, but she couldn't tell me what they were until my doctor read them. Try not to let it stress you out to much until you get the full results. It could turn out that everything is fine, or maybe they'll just have you take vitamins or clomid to raise some of your hormone levels. The good news is you're getting to the bottom of it! FX'd! I'm sure everything will be just fine and your doctor will help you get that BFP!

Mrs. I just did your baby name poll...couldn't resist. Hope clomid is going well. One of my friends tried for 14 months before getting pregant with her daughter on her second round of clomid and didn't need clomid this pregnancy. A big shocker to her as she thought she would never get pregnant without treatment.

I cried today while watching The Office because Angela had her baby. It is DH birthday and so I didn't want to make a big deal but he was so good. I have never just cried like that because someone else on TV had a baby! What is wrong with me!??!! lol

 

[Hope1409]

MrsKibler I am sure everything is ok...most of the time, nurses aren't allowed to go into detail about patient results, etc. Try and stay positive, I know...easier said than done :/

On a totally random note...I know this is the wrong thread to ask this question, but you ladies have been the most helpful so far with every other issue/concern I have had.

As you all know, I got my af yesterday. The color this time is more red than my flow usually is and it is a slimy, mucus like texture. It kind of feels like the egg-white-y discharge that I'd get with ovulation. It seems to be a mix of the clear egg-white-ish stuff and the regular blood. I am so sorry if this is TMI but I just found it odd that it is so red and so slimy. I have tried googling online but I haven't had much luck so I was wondering if you guys had any input? I am so confused!

Thanks ladies!!!

Thanks for the advice I'll definitely mention it to my doctor if we don't have any luck this month. I've not heard of Robi or Mucinex what are they?

Thanks, it's great to be here and have people to talk to about all this stuff! We've kept it quiet that we're TTC and just told my mum but she has the same attitude as DH which is just relax it'll happen when the times right, wish I could be so laid back!

FX for you that you get your results and a proper explanation very soon, it must be so frustrating, as if TTC wasn't hard enough! But like you said at least when you find out what's going on you can start looking for answers and sorting treatment, it's all one step closer to that fabulous BFP! Keep us updated

I agree, this forum has provided a lot of much needed support! I don't think our DH's always understand the blow we take each cycle when we get AF or a BFN. We're being very quiet about TTC as well - although, DH likes to tell people sometimes after he's had maybe 1 too many drinks. I know he's excited, so it's fine with me as long as he doesn't tell my parents! My step-dad knows, but I wouldn't dare tell my mother! I can promise she'd call every night to make sure we BD, and honestly, I just can't take that pressure (or the instrusion!).

MrsKibler. Have you heard anything from your doctor yet?

 

[MrsKibler]

Hey Girls! I can't explain how much support you guys give me! Everytime something happens I feel like Oh! I need to go online and tell them, or ask them this. lol So Thankyou Its so nice to have people to talk to that you can go into detail about! We've told our close friends, and families. We didn't at first now we have, and its actually nice to have my mom know now, because she went through similar things.
Called the doctors office again to check on things and they said My Dr. Still hadn't been able to get to my results. This limbo sucks. Last night was another night in pain, although this morning I feel much better. My breasts are tender yet, but not horrible. Still no AF. Almost going on 9 weeks now. Its just so strange!

How are you guys doing?!

I really wish I could tell my mom, but she got pregnant so easily with all of us I'm affraid she wouldn't understand what it's like to have fertility issues. Hopefully it won't matter soon enough and I can just share some good news with her!

I would think at 9 weeks with no AF your doctor is bound to give you something to start AF, and hopefully something to help with ovulation afterward (i.e. clomid). Sorry you're still in pain Hopefully your doctor will get back with you first thing next week and then you can start moving forward with TTC again!

 

[MrsKibler]

I hope you have a reason to tell her good news soon too!
And omg never thought I would be so exited! I think I just got AF! Have to see if it full force or not but yay!!!

Hi everyone!! Thought I would jump in. I am also using preseed this month. I used it our first month TTC with no results. Then took a break this last time and now I am going to use it again this month. I also started taking FertileCM and have been drinking 8oz of grapefruit juice a day!! Good luck to everyone!!

Welcome! Grapefruit juice is a new one for me. What does it do/help with?

 

[jewelsbaby81]

From what I have read it increases CM. I started drinking it last month after O and I did have a significant increase in my CM so I figure it cant hurt to drink a glass a day.

Interesting! I may give that a shot then! I hear Clomid can dry up CM so I'm looking into anything and everything that will help me with that issue
