TTC #1 and over 30

[MrsChezek]

Good luck with your testing baking! Crossing everything for you

I love how encouraging you all are

So I thought hubby was bring a jerk today because I texted him to say I made the appt and I would like him to come with me and he didn't answer and then I texted a few hours later to say I had to work late for an emergency surgery and his response was "ok and? I guess? Idk"
I was so upset with his response I cried all the way home. Turns out it was meant to be a response to the earlier message that he didn't notice and the one I just sent. Apparently I'm feeling a bit emotional today

So I guess it's good news that IF he is around on Friday he will "i guess. Idk" go the doctor with me which is hopefully the first step to getting him to get an SA done. It's a start

Luna!
When I went to the dr appt back in July, my doc just gave me the paperwork for the SA and DH didn't even to be there. The only time he went with me is to get the results so if he can't make it see if they can just give you the paperwork. DH had to go to the infertility clinic here to get it done so it wasn't like he had to do it right then. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Gypsy - have you tried inositol yet. It's similar to DCI but cheaer. I was taking it the month I got my
BFP. Don't think I was taking it long enough for it to be the reason I o'd but my engery levels were amazing and felt so much better.

luna - so sorry fo AF. You're not broken at all. You just need a bit of time and maybe a nudge to get going. Definately recommed that DH gets the sa. Mine did and also survived. I think it also helps them to understand what we woman go through ttc - worrying if we broken, the doctors and tests, waiting for results etc. Good luck for your appointment.

baking - fingers crossed for you!

I chickened out with testing. Think I will wait til Friday to test cause that's cd28.

I have never heard of that one. I read about it quickly on Wikipedia and it is something I think I want to look into. Where do you get it?

 

[gypsygirl1018]

I just looked them up and I can get hem from amazon. I may talk to OH about them tonight and see what he says. I like to keep him in the loop with everything I do.

Gypsy I got the pills at my pharmacy but heard the powder form is better. Once I got my bfp my doc said to stop just in case. It's likely safe in pregnancy since our body makes it normally (us PCOS ladies don't make enough) but since there is no real testing done he didn't want me to take any chances. I'm definately going back on them once I give birth.

baking - it might still be early and BFNs are heartbreaking so no harm in waiting if you can. Good luck!

Was it something that your doctor recommended you take? Sorry if I am asking so many questions, I am very interested because it sounds like a very good supplement and there isn't a whole lot about it online. Did you have any side effect with it?

 

[ZeeZ]

No worries - glad if my experiance helps and I also tried to find as much info as possible before I started. There wasn't much but I decided to take it after my scan showed the clomid wasn't doing anything. No side effects but I was only on it for 3 weeks. I O'd a week after starting and 2 weeks later got my BFP and that was the first that I got to talk to my doc about it. The timing of O was probably a coincidence because it really was too soon for the inositol to cause it but I definitely felt better on it.

FX until Friday!!!! Stay away you damned !!!!!!!

 

[luna_19]

baking, hope Friday is your lucky day

 

[bakingbabe]

Thanks, ladies! I had an emotional moment last night and the doubts started creeping in. I had been so positive and optimistic about this month til last night. DH calmed me down though which was so sweet.

Praying for that bfp tomorrow!!!

 

[Clarkeyness]

praying for you Baking that you get the much deserved BFP and that flies away on her broom!! xo

 

[bakingbabe]

Well, not this month.

Edit: WTF, body?!?! Now it's gone. I have no clue what's going on. One of the ladies I talked to today at the various medical places told me it might be breakthrough bleeding. Not sure what that means.

 

[luna_19]

Oh baking I'm so sorry

Looks like our cycles are lining up again

 

[bakingbabe]

Well, I thought so and now it's stopped almost completely. I tried to schedule an HSG today and the lady wouldn't let me until I had full flow (total tmi, sorry!) so I have no idea anymore. It's early for me and I have no real cramps at all (totally unusual) and it just doesn't seem like normal. I thought for sure it was here and now I don't have a flipping clue. My heart tells me to wait, that it's not over yet.

Got a new GYN today, appt is in two weeks and DH said to make an appt with a fertility specialist (he seems to think we don't need a referral for the insurance) so I've been busy with a plan. The reason for the new GYN is the old one left the practice and seeing the OB takes months to even get an appt ( I was seeing the NP and didn't want to have to start over with a PA). I was seriously fed up so I called the OB my friend had and she loved her so we'll see. Hopefully everything will be fine and this new appt will be helpful.

Maybe implantation bleeding...Even if the egg implanted a couple days ago could be still burrowing in deeper.... FXd hun!!! xo

 

[Goldfish]

Baking - how strange, maybe it's late implantation bleeding?! good luck for tomorrow if AF stays away!

This morning my temp dropped, again, so now FF isn't sure that I ovulated and has taken away my crosshairs - might go and discard 1 or 2 temps and see what happens, otherwise I'll find out when I get my blood test results next week (had the test done yesterday at what I thought was 8dpo, if I did O!). This TTC stuff is driving me crazy!!

It was so strange and unusual for sure! I think I may have o'ed on CD 15 so it could be implantation or the bean burrowing in some more. Or it could be my body messing with me. Who knows? All I can do is wait and see. I'll keep you all posted!

Good luck, goldfish! And I agree, this ttc stuff is so confusing and driving me batty as well!
