Trying To Conceive #1+ Vent Thread

[melewen]

On an ironic note, my temp this morning--that let me know AF was coming before she reared her ugly head--was 96.66. How apropos

 

[Ahughes]

AF finally decided to arrive (2 days later than usual). October was our first month of TTC, so now I have to wait a couple of weeks to start ovulation testing again . I'm hoping November is our month! I know we have only been trying for a very short amount of time, but it is still frustrating seeing people on my social media pages getting pregnant when they weren't even trying!! Hopefully it happens for us soon because my husband travels for work and is sometimes only home on the weekends.

I'm so clueless, I'm kinda convinced this is not my month but I think I might. Let's put it this way: my mind wants to believe every symptom says I am but my gut says I'm not.
Frustrating.

Hey guys!
I'm 30 this year and I'm from Sydney Australia... Hubby and I have been trying to conceive for 6 months and no luck as yet.. Who else is experiencing problems getting off the contraceptive pill?
Gee wizz my cycles and all messed up : (

Hey Amanda, I've been off pill since July and my cycles are CRAZY too. Only had 3 periods and one was for 12 days! Have ovulated twice I think, awaiting big O now. Temping this time!

 

[LouOscar01]

WHY AM I NOT OVULATING? that is my rant.

 

[stiletto_mom]

- Usually I can tell when I am ovulating, but this past cycle I didn't even notice?!
- We DTD a bagillion times in Nov.
- I was getting suspicious symptoms that I don't usually get (light spotting week before AF, metallic taste, one sided pain, nausea, increased appetite)

Got AF today. :/

It's like my body was lying to me.

 

[deafgal01]

Screw this. I am left behind after 3 (going on 4 years on New Year's Eve). Wish there was a sleeping beauty button to hit so the world can pause everyone from having bfps until we get ours and then we can go back to moving and living.

 

[LouOscar01]

deafgal, totally agree with that. Want to just fast forward till i'm pregnant and don't want to deal with the bit in between.

Got a postive OPK, no temperature rise...so excited...then completely deflated.

Second treatment round with Letrozole...and the fun begins! I am miserable on progesterone. I hate it. I've been holding back tears for the past 48 hours and everything everyone says immediately pisses me off. My heart is racing from perceived stress. I hate this part so much.... as if the TWW was bad enough.

WHY AM I NOT OVULATING? that is my rant.

Hey there

I've been seeing a doctor for endomitriosis before I event met my husband... so I kept her in the loop when we started TTC. She told me taking temps would drive me nuts. I thought, screw this, I can do it.

Er... nope. My temps NEVER reflected ovulation. I did it for 3 cycles. After about 35 days or so, I would go to my doctor ask for a blood test to see if I have ovulated, and I did every time. I gave up on the temp thing...it did drive me nuts, with little useful information. My CM was all over the place too.

If you doubt your ovulating, try talking to your doctor. I decided to start Clomid to help me better predict when I ovulated, my cycles were like 45 days long. I'm on my second month... while there isn't a baby yet, I've ovulated two more times that I would have without!! we started TTC in June by going off of the pill... by October I had ovulated TWICE! Sheesh! Hang in there and if you really question it, ask your doctor

SOOO many people told me "Don't stress, you won't ovulate!" Grr... I'm a clinical person, and if there is a pattern of a problem, there just might be a physical cause other than "stress". I think that's so easy for people to say and brush off. By going to my doctor, I found out my lining was too thin... I wouldn't have carried a embryo if we did fertilize it! Good Luck to you!

My husband and I just decided a couple of weeks ago, spur of the moment to start trying. Got my period today, and I was a lot more devastated than I thought I would be. We didn't plan it out too well, though, so next time, I'm going to try and do everything I need to do! Still, it's a pain to wait. The anxiety I had the past two weeks about the whole thing was overwhelming. Any one have any advice on how to keep your mind off of it between the attempt and taking the test?

Hello to all of you!

My husband and I have been ttc for 1 year now with no luck. It doesn't help that since I had my mirena removed my period has been anything but regular, 35 days, 45 days, 60 days and why not 75 days while you're at it.

I see babies everywhere! Even the show I watch the girl, who is in prison, gets preganant on her 1 day out!!!

Tomorrow we have our first visit to see the specialist at the fertility clinic to at least see if there is anything wrong with us or we just haven't just quite understood how to do it! haha I try to keep positive but becoming very sarcastic.

Good luck to all of you...... btw, I'm taking a pregnancy test tomorrow morning before the appointment. Just in case..... It's happened to me in the past that when I try something and it doesn't work, I go to plan B and then plan A works.... I'm hoping for that!

hi, i am new to this website..i really felt like joining it, may be you guys wil help me out. I have been ttc for like 9 months, unfortunately i miscarried at 2 months about 2 weeks ago and it was a complete miscarriage. i went in fo usg tht showed empty uterus and my hcg levels also dropped. Since morning however, i m experiencing light pinkish discharge with clear cm, i do feel i ovulated like 3 days ago, i dont use OPK'S, i find out bymyself...what could it be? is it possible i may be pregnant again??

 

[Heather.1987]

Im going through a mc myself. You can get pg again soon after a mc...but not typically after 2 weeks. A normal af or positive pg test may show after 4-6 weeks. Your test may come back as a false positive right now. It can take a few weeks for your hcg to completely leave even if baby is completly out. Good luck! Its tough!

 

[lilyallen]

thanx for your concern dear. My hcg about 1 and half week ago was just 47, so i believe it reached zero pretty next day. My discharge has stopped completely but i have twinges in rt ovary and i had a powerful cramp last evening, just once though. I didnot take pregnancy test the last time, i only found out at the hosp when i miscarried. Really hoping its a positive sign..

 

[Heather.1987]

Sounds like you might be ovulating. You wont get a positive pregnancy test until another week or 2 though.

 

[lilyallen]

I had light pinkish discharge today as well. I might be taking a HPT in a week or so if af dont show up..i never have discharge like this while i m ovulating and i really believe i ovulated like 5 days ago. Yesterday i had egg white discharge with pinkish tinge and a blood streak...sorry for tmi

Hello everyone,
I am new to this. I have read a lot of post and finally decided it may help to ease some of the pain if I talk about it. My husband and I have been TTC for over 2 years now. I had surgery in June to remove endometriosis and a polyp that had formed in my uterus. I started using Clomid and am on my 4th cycle of it currently. I have ovulated every time and still no luck. At this point I am feeling hopeless. I have found myself already talking about next month and we haven't even made it through this time of trying. I am just so used to the BFN. I know it is partially due to the Clomid, but I am crying all the time! I don't want to be angry, but I feel like there are babies everywhere around me and it is killing me. I will take any advice I can get at this point.

My TTC vent would have to be that my husband and I are both military members stationed 4 hours apart. We have been TTC now for over 7 months. It's so frustrating because we only see each other every other weekend and it never seems like the weekends we spend together are the right time of the month for me. Once I conceive I will move to him for anyone wondering how we planned to raise our future blessing four hours away from each other.
