TTC #1 Dream Believers (Who's TTC #1?)

[rustyswife828]

Hey girls.. I need to VENT please?

Me and OH have not had for freakin 13 days!!

We tried couple of nights this past week and he'll stand up for like 5 seconds then it goes dead!

What's the use of even trying this month! UGH!!

When I throw hints that I want to just for me not for BD'ing..he apologizes to me!

How frustrating is that!

I'm gonna tell my doctor whenever I go to get my tubes checked that we can't even have and we're never gonna get preggo if something doesn't change!

His weewee isn't standing up even after almost 2 freakin' weeks!

Whatever it takes..I'm gonna get his butt on viagra! This is soo frustrating!

He wonders why I'm not talking much..Well if I did talk..All I would talk about is this!

This is driving me

Just checking on everyone! Hope all of your are doing well while on your ttc for #1 journey!

Right now I'm on 9dpo, and was experiencing cramps early early morning. But this has been going on since 3dpo so I don't know whether that's a good or bad thing. Keeping everyone in my prayers.

Lots of baby dust to ya!!

Hi girls

Do you mind if I join you?

TTC month No.14, CD 15 today. Today I'm feeling optimistic. Big change from the way I was feeling a few days ago. Does anyone else get really low just before Ov. I just tend to feel really negative when I'm supposed to start BD. I'm worried that all this stress is preventing me getting my BFP.

maybe that's what my problem is. just responded on another thread that i've been really depressed for the last few days since i've been off the clomid. i'm cd 15 today. for the last few days i've felt a few tinges in my ovaries, maybe a cramping feeling. but i'm not sure if it was O or not? no thick, sticky cm or anything like that? and now today i just feel completely down on this whole baby thing. i really feel like the clomid isn't going to do me any good and i'm not going to be preggers this go round....
i hate getting depressed over this stuff....

anyone else think it might have been O?

I took Clomid for 5 months and it made me ovulate but I didn't get my BFP. Clomid made me quite irritable but this is the second month off it but I still get upset and every little thing and seem to be particularly negative just before we need to start BD'ing as I already start to think about getting another BFN at the end of the month.

I'm thinking its taking us longer because of my DH's average to below average motility. Doc said that he'd seen men with much worse results and they've still managed to get BFPs so he insisted we try for another 6 months until Jan 2011 and if we don't get our BFP by then, we'll need to go in again for more detailed tests. They don't start taking you seriously until you've been TTC for a year and a half. What worries me though is that we've been BD on the 'right' days since we started TTC and its now been 14 months you would think I would think I should have got a BFP By now. I've also been using OPKs, taking pregnacare preconception, EPO etc etc... Just seems like its never going to happen.

When did you take the clomid CD3-7 OR CD5-9? Usually you are supposed to Ov 5 to 10 days after your last clomid pill. It can also dry up your CM so make sure you drink loads of water and use something like preseed and take EPO for the first half of your cycle until just before you Ov. DO NOT take EPO from Ovulation onwards as it can cause a miscarriage. Its good for CM though for before you Ov.

i took the clomid cd 3-7. i didn't know about the cm. because i haven't noticed anyone which i thought was a big indicator of O. and i don't drink a lot of water.. i know...
but i'm not using any opk's because they just get me upset and frustrated! haha. soo the preseed is like a lubricant, but what is EPO?

You should be Ovulating some time between CD 13 to 17 (5 to 10 days after your last clomid)so your important BD'ing days are from CD11 to CD17 (the 2 days before you Ovulate are also important). Try BD'ing every other day during those important days.
EPO = Evening Primrose Oil - it helps your cm as clomid can dry it up. But like I said above DO NOT take it after you have ovulated as it can cause a miscarriage. If you are not sure when you ovulate (as you don't use OPKs) then just take it from CD1 to CD 12 and then stop it until the next cycle.

From what you said about the cramping a few days before CD15 it sounds as if that was Ov pains so you were probably Ov'ing around those days. The pain can be before, during or after Ov.

You could give OPKs one more go and test from CD 11 to 17 so that you can pinpoint when you ovulate, once you get a positive OPK you know for the following month what days are important. Just a suggestion.

Hey girls.. I need to VENT please?

Me and OH have not had for freakin 13 days!!

We tried couple of nights this past week and he'll stand up for like 5 seconds then it goes dead!

What's the use of even trying this month! UGH!!

Whatever it takes..I'm gonna get his butt on viagra! This is soo frustrating!

He wonders why I'm not talking much..Well if I did talk..All I would talk about is this!

This is driving me

I understand exactly how you feel as I have had the same problem some months. I get really angry at him but I don't say anything to him because its not his fault so I try to keep it in and cry my eyes out locked up in the bathroom (pathetic I know). Its so frustrating especially as you cannot do anything about it. We went through a phase of a few months like that as everytime I got close to him he said he was tired but we sat down and had a talk and I told him I felt rejected and hurt and that we cannot get our BFP if we didn't BD. He told me he couldn't help it and felt that I only wanted to BD because we were TTC and I didn't really want HIM.
I felt so sorry and guilty for making him feel this way and I explained that sometimes I do just feel like BD'ing because I want to not because of TTC and when he rejects me its as if he doesn't want me.
We then decided to take a month off TTC (last month) and it did wonders for us just knowing that we didn't have the pressure of BD'ing on specific days.

Sceduled BD'in is ok when you have been TTC for only a few months but after a year it gets to both of you and it affects your relationship. You need to take a month off once in a while so that BD'ing doesn't become a chore every month.

I felt our little talk helped us a great deal as I wasn't aware that he was also feeling down about the wholw thing and that it wasn't all about me. I was under the impression that he just didn't care whether we got a BFP or not when it was the complete opposite taht he wanted it so much that he felt a huge pressure every time we BD'd.

Try sitting down with your Husband and explain how you feel and force him to talk about his feelings, it will help you get through it by understanding each other and getting it all out in the open.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

You know, OH and I took a very relaxed approach this month due to stress with both our works. No pressure. We've a handful of times and only when we want to. OH seems to be more relaxed with this method. I'm not tracking O and just reading my body's signs (increased CM, etc). It's been bliss! No worrying about which days I'm meant to O We'll see what happens in oh, I dunno how many days!

 

[CucciCoo]

hey guys, hope everyone is well

sorry to hear you're having a tough time rustyswife, try not to put too much pressure on yourselves. Must be very frustrating. It sure is taxing all this at times. I'm trying to keep it from being a chore but sometimes when you're tired its hard to get in the mood

I'm still waiting for FF to confirm O, I rec it might be CD17 if I get another temp rise tomorrow, fingers crossed. My chart is in my sig if anyone wants a nosey.

 

[rustyswife828]

Thanks girls!

He asked me to lay off of his back about the whole thing..

So I'm just gonna lay off and not say anything to him until he gets his moods back!...

Patience!

 

[wanting2010]

I'm sorry you and hubby are having issues, hon. Maybe if you don't mention it for awhile he will come around. When I put pressure on my hubby the last thing he wants to do is what I'm trying to get him to do.

I started my Provera today. I should finish it on the 1st and then start my period within 7 days...I'm hoping for around the 3rd or 4th. Can't wait to take my Clomid!!

 

[Regalpeas]

I know this can be frustrating. Maybe you guys should talk about how you both are feeling and reassure him that it's no one's fault. Also maybe you guys should have a "baby talk free zone"- a time throughout the day where you are not allowed to talk about it at all.

This may help. I wish you both the best.
