[Steffie55]

Hey all Been TTC for 15 months now & realizing i need some support & friends to chat with so i dont feel so alone.

Im 31, husband is 37 and have watched 25 people around me get pregger, have babies & some onto their second while we try away...

Heya Steffie,
I will join you!
We just got back from 3 weeks visiting DH's family in the US (he's American)
I wish I had a £ (or $) for every time we got asked when we're having kids. I do now solemnly swear I will never put someone on the spot like that, it sucks the big one.
His great grandfather (99 years old) asked him if he's firing blanks because I should be knocked up by now!
Ugh! Rant over!

I have been ttc for 18 n half months x

I know what you are going through. I have been TTC for over 6 years now with no success, so you can imagine what I have been going through every month when my period arrives, even though I am used to it now anyway.

I have had around 20 people around me have babies and my sister in law is on her 3rd baby lol I feel so useless even though there is nothing wrong with me and its my husband, as he has a very low sperm count, but I don't blame him at all as its not his fault if you get what I mean....

All you got to do is think and stay strong and it will happen one day, there is so much advanced medicine now days and I am sure we will all get there one day.

If you ever need a chat just PM me

hi ladies!

i can relate (sort-of)! i have a 2 year old boy and everyone around me is either pregnant with their second or just had a baby. it's like im a good luck charm for others to get pregnant. my husband and i have been TTC #2 for over a year now. i've had 2 miscarriages (oct. 2011 and april 2012) and a small fibroid removed from my uterus in may.

the ups and downs of TTC are so intense. i never thought, especially after conceiving my son after the 1st month of trying, that i would be in this boat. everyone tells you to relax and it will just happen...well, guess what, ive tried that too and it doesn't help. ha!

i feel so horrible for anyone else who struggles TTC, it is overwhelming and the worst part is that there's not a ton you can do about it.

i'm new to this too, and if you ever need to chat...i'm sure i'll be in a pretty similar situation! hang in there!

Hi Steffie (another one )

Dh and I have been trying for almost 30months now (I think, i've lost count) and as he happens to belong to the most fertile family in existence, we've had 6 new babies born in 2012 and another 3 on the way. You can't even make the shit up!

We did get our very first last August, but sadly our little bean left us mid September and we've had to luck since then. We have a nice big unexplained infertility sticker on our medical charts, with no answers just yet. Have been given clomid to strengthen ovulation, but so far no luck. Just a lot of head aches and hot flushes!

Sorry you've found yourself in the dark depths of LTTTC, I hope you're not here too long

 

[timeforababy]

hiya, we've been trying for a few months less and I'm 32. I know how it looks like around this age, all my friends are either pregnant or having babies and my facebook is littered with scan and baby pics.

 

[lilyV]

yeah, I'm 15 months along and nothing's happening. nothing.

 

[lilyV]

I have many, many multiple orgasms w DH so that's no prob for me AT ALL. I take prescription prenatal vitamins so the only thing different that I'm not doing is the acupuncture. Though of course, every woman is different

Congrats, hon

I got a bfp after 15 long months ttc. Never thought it would happen. What i did differently and what i think worked sounds crazy but i used a vibrator with a clitorial stimulater on it and had some major orgasms couple days befor ovulation and day of o, then did the dance with hubby later that night. I think i got my cervix to open up and move a little bit it may be the secret. Never get a orgasm with hubby. The only other thing i did was acupuncture first time 2 days before o. Been taking vit c. Hope this helps. I had an appt with re next week to start iui process

That's the second time you've pulled up an old topic to post the same thing. I appreciate you might want to share your story, but there's a whole success stories section above to put it in, not in the LTTTC section.

We've been trying coming up to 3 years now, and I orgasm with my husband every time, that isn't the issue at all.

Having an orgasm isn't going to make PCOS or endo cure itself, it isn't going to increase sperm count or improve the quality of eggs, or unblock tubes or any of the other conditions which cause infertility!!

Just another thing, I think there are millions of babies out there that have been made during orgasm-less sex since some woman never experience one at all.

Hey Steffie!
I am also on 15months TTC, just had my first appt with the Fertility Specialist. Now waiting for AF to come, so I can book a sonohysterogram and some hormone lab work

 

[Armywife84]

I have multiple orgasms during sex with DH, that means I should have a set of triplets by now.

Op, just ignore the patronizing advice, and welcome to LTTC!!

Hi Steffie,

I'm 36, tcc for 2 years, diagnose- unexplained ("undiagnosed" as I like to call it). Soon I'll be changing the FS and try acupuncture as well.
Thank God for forums like this and the support of all the ladies.
(the hubbies are supportive too, but I don't think they can handle all this talk about tubes, follicles, uterus, ovulation cramps etc.)

9 years ttc here.

I understand what you mean about everyone else being pregnant. We went to a dinner party last weekend and the hostess showed her ultrasound video. I wanted to curl up and die.

Good luck and baby dust to us all

Ultrasound video at a dinner party?!?! I'd freaking lose it!

I'm so sick of all the preggos on FB and in Ikea today where I darn near sobbed in the middle of the aisle while just trying to buy a few items!

It's all so unfair isn't it?

 

[popchick75]

And the thing is, i feel like such a horrible person! Why can't i be happy for everyone? I just wish it was me too

I read something by another LTTC that's really helped me deal with my jealousy/misery when learning of ANOTHER BFP. She mentioned that the newly preggo would have so much joy and get plenty of positive notes, comments, love that she'll be fine without getting it from you and it's the only way we can survive long term! It's all about self-preservation after a certain point...

 

[MalaMae]

agree with everyone. pregos everywhere, and the worse is when they tell you it wasn't planned, it just happened.
And another pet peeve- when people say to you: "just relax, DON'T think about it, it will happen when you least expect". Well you try not to think about after so many uncessful years of trying!
