TTC #1 -- Need a buddy!

[Sideways 8]

ohhh honey I'm so sorry you're down
Don't you give up, you are going to be an excellent mom and the bfp will come much sooner than you're feeling right now.

Did the doctor say anything about the PCOS "tricking" the CBFM in any way? Or give you any other clues as to how the PCOS is being an obstacle?

 

[MissSazra]

She said to lose weight which is easier said than done with PCOS. She scanned me which is how she said I should ovulate this weekend, but the monitor hasn't shown anything. I don't do temps as the first month of trying showed nothing, they were up and down and all over the place.

Sometimes, normal women have anovulatory cycles (meaning they don't ovulate) out of nowhere, and for no reason. Sounds like the cycle that you temped was one of those bum months. I would keep trying. If you get several cycles like that, your doc will be able to help you with more data.

I know I suggested the other thread, but today may not be the best day to try it, as someone just announced a bfp...

MissSazra. I know that it is very hard. I had those feelings in the months before getting pregnant. Don't give up! We're all rooting for you and we'd never leave you behind. I do understand if you need some time to step back though...

 

[rducky]

Congrats, Flying! Your post was awesome and funny! So happy for you. This is a lucky thread!

 

[rosababy]

MissSazra, beautiful picture!! How is everyone doing today?

 

[MissSazra]

Thanks Rosa,

Well I feel rubbish and spent most of last night crying, as we finally got our peak day but hubby wasn't able to dtd, as we'd done it every night since Thursdday, so my hopes have gone right done.

The monitor just jumped as well, went straight from a low to a peak. I have another peak today but I can't help thinking we've missed the best day.

Sorry, moaning again!

Miss Sazra - I think if anything it was good to take a day off (there's sperm where it needs to be in you, and your hubby can reload) - so don't fret.

And hope you can dry those tears.. I know it's frustrating but I got to a point where I was thinking, well I can't change things through stress, so why stress?

 

[Sideways 8]

MissSazra. SM is right about the stress.
Moan all you want to us though, it's ok. That's what we're here for.

 

[MissSazra]

Thanks guys, I guess I just felt it was just my luck, all that on lows then it jumps to the peak and he's all spent! Ah well, will just have to dtd again tonight.

 

[flyingduster]

Aww hun, but if you dtd the day BEFORE the peak, then you will certainly already have those where they need to be still, and a night off, even on a peak night, will certainly be ok.... And seeing you got another peak then you can try again tonight and it'll be even BETTER timing!

 

[bethyboo]

ill be your buddy too. I was due yesterday and i Did 3 tests today, cb didgital was BFN then boots own was a BFN but take a look at the one i did at lunch time. do u think its the BFP i been waiting for. this is my 4th moth of trying so we have been trying same amount of time I think?

have you done a test yet? im going to try again tomoz, i kept getting BFN after this one.

baby dust all round xxxxx

 

[SMFirst]

Hi Bethyboo,
Welcome - That looks like a faint positive, but you should definitely wait a day then test again. Don't waste too much money on doing multiple tests in a day

 

[Sideways 8]

Also Bethyboo, those plus sign tests, especially those with blue dye, are notorious for false positives. I hope that's not bringing you down but I figured it would help keep you from getting confused and stressed. I do have my fingers crossed for you!!! Also welcome to our thread!

MissSazra I agree with flying on this one.

 

[MissSazra]

Hi Bethyboo!

Thanks everyone. Well we have dtd already as I figured the earlier the better today. We had our second peak this morning, but the opk I did this evening was negative. However, I hadn't long been to the bathroom before so it could be that, or just that it really was past the best time. However, we have done all we can since Thursday and we will just have to wait and see.

Thanks to everyone, you're all stars, and I know I'll be joining you all very soon! (Time I had some PMA! lol)

 

[rosababy]

MissSazra, you probably bd'ed enough in there... like to hang out for a few days, so I'm sure you're fine. Especially if you dtd tonight. I stress, too. Easier said than done, right?

Afm, Well, my sil and I have been talking....evidently she's not happy with my progesterone levels. She's a midwife (have I mentioned that?) and even though my levels are "within the normal range," considering the cycle day, they were not high enough. Crap. I already put on progesterone cream and have been for several cycles...don't know what else to do! She says that's probably why I'm not getting pregnant already. Does anyone know what else I can be doing?? Maybe the Maca will work its magic and normalize my hormone levels. Very frustrating.

 

[rosababy]

Bethy, welcome! Go get a pink dye test...hopefully it's your bfp!!

 

[MissSazra]

Not sure about progesterone levels. I'm having mine tested start of next cycle should we not fall this month. Have you seen a doctor about them? That way you can get exactly what you need.

Sorry I'm not much help with this one! Xx

Not a specialist, no. My normal doc said "everything looks fine." But that's because it was slightly higher than the "normal" but not normal for 7 dpo, says my sil. It should be WAY higher for that far into the cycle. The lowest "normal" range would be like during your period or some time early in the follicular phase. Sigh. I can't see a specialist for a while...so frustrating.

 

[MissSazra]

The problem with normal docs is they're very dismissive. It's why I ended up paying to go private, as I was sick of hearing them fob me off.

I forget how long you've been trying? Have you ever seen a specialist, or is it like here where they won't refer you until a year of trying?
