TTC 2010 Buddy?

[awaitingrmb]

I am looking for a buddy who is trying to conceive #1 or #2. I am 22yo and married for over 2 years. DH and I have no kids and would really love to have one. I thought this month was my month, but unfortunately, got a . I would love to have a buddy who would enjoy conversing on ttc matters rather than just putting my name in their signature. I have a ttc journal and would love to stay connected and help one another on their journey. I feel TTC is tough and I really need some motivation at this time. I have been ttc for 5 months now. I feel like this will be a long road for me. All buddies welcome.

hi, i am also 22 married for almost 1 year. We are ttc #2. Our Son passed away when he was just 36 hours old after being born at 35 weeks gestation, he suffered the effects of Vasa Previa. So while i am a mum and have been pregnant before ttc is new to me as we fell pregnant first time we tried with DS. So the waiting, trying and letdown each month is all new and awful. If you would like to be buddy' i would like that. I could also use a little motivation after a this month and last!! keep a PMA baby dust

That would be wonderful. I am like 14 dpo today and just waiting on af. I tested and . Seems like it has been a long 5 months. I am so sorry to hear about your son. My journal is posted in my siggy, do you have one? If so, I would love to stalk and talk. On here, I have buddies but most of them don't even talk to you about ttc issues. I just want a friendship with someone on here who can understand. I have friendships with some, but not all of my buddies. Hope this is the beginning of a friendship as well as soon. Best of luck to the both of us.

Hi Ladies :wave:, I am 25 my DH is 29, married for 5 years this past July! We have been TTC#2 for 15 months now with one miscarriage last month. I hope to get pregnant with a sticky bean in 2010!!

Awaiting I did not get a BFP last month until 16 DPO so I would not count yourself out yet! Mum I am sorry to hear that about your son , having a M/C was hard enough at 6 weeks I can not imagine later. I am staying positive that it is going to happen before this year is over! I want another baby before my DS goes to Kindergarden next year!!!

It is definitely better having other girls to talk to, to help you through each month. I don't know how miserable I would be last week with out being able to talk to other girls on BnB!

hi awaiting, no i don't have a journal yet... i remained hopeful last month on untill af arrived. Hopefully will stay away for all the right reasons and maybe implantation is just going to happen late fingers crossed. With DS i got my only 7 dpo! so i was very surprised it was with a digital but i was in hawaii at the time so i dont know what brand however i must have had low hcg cause the second test was it took a about 2 more days to get consistent positives. Im hoping that when i finally do get my that it will be so soon after OV again that 2ww is a nightmare especially when your obsessed with poas usually twice a day Have you been doing anything in particular to help with fertility? I feel like i live on google trying to find natural ways to increase fertility.

Ennie, sorry to hear of your recent miscarriage that must be awful, any loss no matter how early is still such an awful thing to go through Today is especially hard for us as its fathers day in Australia today DH found it tuff i had photos framed and tried to make it special. still hard tho. Hopefully you will get your this month hopefully we all do!!! Im also CD8 so we will be all week in the lead up to OV i think this saturday. DH will be doing the !!!

LOADS OF DUST TO YOU BOTH

I was ttc but my doctor found a dermoid on my ovary. I'm waiting on surgery and might lose said ovary. I am 22 yrs old && have a 1 yr old daughter who is a miracle! I was diagnosed with pcos in feb as well as hypothyroidism && was going to start clomid this month before finding out about the dermoid. Its been a really stressful yr and I've only ovulated twice so far in 9 months! I am trying to stay strong but I'm finding that difficult! My doc has hopes for me && says as soon as I'm healed we will start the clomid, hoping to conceive by years end! Good luck to all of u

Thanx mum! Its been a long year...I am hoping that somehow everything works out && I just magically start ovulating on my own without clomid! But I will take anything that might help! Does anyone know any natural ways to help? Its amazing to be able to share && relate with so many others!

Not really, i tried taking a blackmores product called Conception gold i dont know where you are or if you are able to get that out of Australia but im sure the chemist will have something like it. don't really know how it helps tho. Grapefruit juice is suppose to help CM so try that also but i dont know anything that helps you ovulate naturally.

some foods help and dont help tho:
https://www.seasonsindia.com/pregnancy/food_fertility_sea.htm

also these books may help
1) The Infertility Diet: Get Pregnant and Prevent Miscarriage by Fern Reiss
2) Fertility Foods: Optimize Ovulation and Conception Through Food Choice by Jeremy Groll.

just try googling u can find everything on there.

The herbs listed below are among the most popular for enhancing female fertility:
Also found this, hope it helps...

Black cohosh – this is an antispasmodic which relieves cramping. You may take this herb in the first half of your cycle from menstruation to ovulation.

Dong Quai – considered a female hormone regulator and an effective toner for the uterus. It should be taken in the first half of the cycle and in others the second half. It is advised to check the label for dosage information and consult with your healthcare provider or physician before taking Dong Quai at all.

Evening Primrose Oil – helps to increase fertile quality cervical fluid and also contains essential fatty acids which are good for the brain. You may take this EPO from menstruation to ovulation and switch to Flax Seed Oil after ovulation. Flax Seed Oil contains the fatty acids needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Evening Primrose Oil causes uterine contractions – which is why you should not take it after ovulation in the event that conception did occur.

False Unicorn- helps with ovarian pain and female infertility. You may take this herb in the first half of cycle from menstruation to ovulation.

Red Raspberry Leaf – You may take this herb during the entire cycle as it strengthens the uterine lining, thus helping to lengthen the luteal phase. But do ask your healthcare provider about continuing red raspberry leaf once pregnancy occurs. Usually, it should only be taken in the last trimester of pregnancy, because it “tones” the uterus.

Vitex (Chaste Berry)- Known as the female herb, it helps to regulate hormones and should be taken either the entire cycle or the first half from menstruation to ovulation.

It is certainly not necessary to take ALL of these herbs at once. Pick and choose which ones you may need and which ones will benefit you the most. Some cover the same areas of fertility enhancement while others offer a more general supplementation. These herbs come in different forms – tablets, capsules, tinctures – and in many different brands. They also come as fertility blends where you can benefit for the synergistic effects of all herbs in the right dosage. Choose the formula you prefer and choose a brand that is reputable and pure.

Good Morning Ladies,

When I got PG last month we had used Soft Cups and Preseed. I think that definitely was the reason why we did get PG in the first place after 14 months. I will try it again until we get PG again. My Doctor thought that I was not ovulating every month so he put me on Clomid which did not work for me. Then come to find out DH has a low Sperm Count. Then I started temping 3 months ago and come to find out I am ovulating! I am so glad I have started temping to figure out when I ovulate and that I actually do.

Sorry to hear about Father's Day Mum. I am staying hopeful that we will all get our BFP's by year end!!!

Jazz sorry to hear that about your surgery. That is a cute photo of you and your DD!

I've been MIA the past few hours. This thread is awesome. Glad we can all be buds and talk about things that are bothering us the most. Will add all of you wonderful ladies in my buddy list. My journey has been a rough one but short. I have not yet been given any bad news but coming off of depo after 3 years is bad enough news. I took my last shot in January 2010 and it is almost January again! I hope we can have something sticky before the end of this year. I tried Vitex and this month fertility friend actually picked up my ovulation on its own. Good news for us. The only issue that is bothering me is DH. For some odd reason, I keep wondering if he is ok. If any of you took a look at my chart, you would see that DH and I like crazy up until ovulation. Now my question is how and why we didn't catch anything? has not arrived yet but I am not hopeful in any good news because I know it is highly unlikely. For some reason, I don't know what I've done in this life, but favors never seemed to be granted to me easily. I also think stress may play a role. I guess I should be putting this in my journal instead of clogging this thread with all my frustrations. Sorry ladies. Will put this in my journal.

your chart looks great i see you've hade some nausea and stuffy nose these are all good signs. are you feeling like is on her way or not really?? what is vitex i dont think we have that here in Aus, is it a prescription or just over the counter? My dh with our last PG raved about how he must have had of steel because we got PG first time we tried, now i think he is very disheartened and maybe he jinxed himself. Does your DH drink, smoke, healthy otherwise?? Last Month my Chart looked like yours and we every single day untill the day after OV when my DH actually said hed run out of and he needed to lol. It's hard keeping a PMA when you haven't had much luck in the past but im sure soon it will be your turn for that

Vitex is over the counter and is a natural herb from chasteberry tree. My dh doesn't smoke. He does drink on occasion. It is not a daily thing but he drinks when he gets the chance. Also, he is not extremely healthy, but he is average. He is a little short though. Not stocky, but not skinny.
