Trying To Conceive #1 Only Vent Thread

[wellsk]

That would be a really good idea Sammy, most of these doctors have no empathy at all. My last doctor, I told her how down I was over TTC, she had her mind set that I had an eating disorder?!

I just wish they'd understand how it feels

 

[sammyttc]

Yes! Totally I agree. Hearing "It will happen", "Lots of time", "Just have fun, don't stress" has to be up there on a list of the most annoying things from any one... let alone someone is supposed to give you MEDICAL advice and assistance.

 

[tamithomas]

Those types of doctors should lose their medical licenses as harsh as it may sound. And here's why: Patients go to you for support and are meant to make you feel like you're not in over your head. Telling someone "oh well I'm not gonna bother because you're still so young" even though you've been trying for so long is demeaning, insulting and down right unprofessional. It is not the oath that they took when they graduated med school.

Just because you're young doesn't mean you can't have fertility problems & besides if your young and haven't conceived yet after soo long shouldn't that raise a concern. ugg I really can't stand doctors sometimes...

I'm so sick of hearing it'll happen when it happens from dh & everyone around me. They really don't understand it :/

I feel you Wellsk! The doctor who diagnosed me with pcos pretty much said "you have PCOS but you won't have to worry about it until you're older and ready for kids" then she offered me free condoms and prescribed me birth control.

Mind you this was ONE MONTH BEFORE MY WEDDING!!! I was wearing my engagement ring!! This is what happens when you make generalizations and don't take the two minutes to ask your patients a few personal questions. But instead she figured she'd throw some birth control at the 18 year old and send her away! How rude! Then the next doctor refused to believe I had pcos and told me "Oh no, you don't want kids right now." Um yes I do! And it's not your place to try to convince me otherwise! The doctor I have now is nice but again she wouldn't believe I had pcos until she ran more tests, which I guess was good to confirm but still. Anyway she's been good and is helping but now she's suggesting birth control to "regulate my period" even though I was on it before for a full year and it did NOTHING! Ugh I wish these doctors would LISTEN for once!

Hello all

new to this chat thing and not even sure i am writing in the right place right now. looking for other that are ttc and would like to chat about the ups and downs of this cray journey!

 

[Limm]

Since my discovery I'm feeling upset about it all. In my view, the sperm he wasted could have actually been the one time we got pregnant, but we'll never know now.

You might think I sound crazy, but he hasn't been near me in over a week and this plus never really giving me compliments has left me feeling ugly.

Who's to even say this isn't the only time recently he has been doing this?

I also worked out that it happened within the two days that he was meant to be saving himself for the specimen test. I haven't confronted him because I'm going to see what the test results say next week and see if he says anything first.

 

[sammyttc]

Sorry to hear you are dealing with so much with your husband Limm, on top of the stress of ttc!!

so tried to have sex in the shower and my husband couldnt get in. i feel in there and my uterus is so low its about an inch from coming out of me. i dont think thats good, does anyone know if thats normal or what it is im calling my doc in the morning if its still that low

Hi I've had a similar problem and was diagnosed with a uterine prolapse. Basically the muscles holding my uterus in place have become weak, my uterus has dropped slightly and now my cervix is very low. I went to a specialist who said it shouldn't affect TTC and might help as the sperm is deposited closer to the cervix. I'd say get checked so that you know for sure and make sure you do lots of pelvic floor exercises. Hope this helps and doesn't scare you.

 

[tamithomas]

So my horoscope says June is highly successful for conceiving a baby considering both myself and my DH are Aquarius'. Please don't toy with my emotions Astrology. I read you for fun, not to get my hopes up lol.

Totally not TTC related but I'm so angry about a buyer on eBay! Put up a dress to sell and this woman has bought it so she can resell it on at a higher price! Totally annoying...

Your spoiler made me smile! Thanks

 

[Limm]

I kind of "snapped" and gave DH and earful about how he's been making me feel after giving him the chance to be honest about what he's been up to. Felt horrid afterwards and apologised. He said I had nothing to be sorry about and that he's going to make more of an effort now. I want to believe him, but we'll wait and see.

Going to book a GP appointment asap. Sick of sitting around waiting for something to happen and being ignored.

Doesn't help that people I know have been having their babies recently and so my FB will occasionally overfill with pictures of adorable little people. My heart aches for it to happen already.

 

[lamago]

Me too lim. I'm at 6 months and it's all I can think about

My hubby and I are both Aquarius also. Let's hope the horoscope is correct, especially since June will be one full year of trying for me and DH. Maybe you and I will both get lucky

Good news: AF arrived right on time this month without missing a beat.
Bad news: Cramps were so bad it took a good 5 minutes before I could even get out of bed and then crawled to the bathroom, took 2 acetominophines and then waited on the floor for 10 minutes before they kicked in before I could continue to do my morning routine. This is the second month in a row this happens.

 

[Ladybuggz]

Another irregular cycle it seems. Why will my body not regulate?! Beyond frustrated. I'm fed up of feeling like some bitter witch. I feel so guilty for being jealous, why is life so unfair? Can nothing go right for us?
