Im in month two of try as well! day 22 of this cycle and im also so exhausted. between actually trying and hoping, im so tired!

 

[Pitbullmom29]

It's so tiring lol that's how I feel

Hey ladies, hope you don't mind if I join in here! I'm 21, my DH is 25 and we are TTC baby #1! We are currently seeing a FS - I'm starting my first round of Gonal F with a trigger shot and TI. I've been feeling really lonely through it all. Majority of my friends have babies, all without trying and no one in my family has ever experienced infertility so I don't really have anyone to talk to about this stuff.
Would love to have ttc buddies to be able to relate to!

Hi Hopefultcc,
I also feel alone and going through fertility issues. I am 33 with PCOS and do not ovulate on my own. I am in my second cycle, finished Clomid on Sunday and will be going for IUI this weekend.

Where are you in your cycle? Did you start any tracking, via Apps?

Hi TTCfirstovr30!

I have the same issue, PCOS and not ovulating.

I am currently on day 3 of my cycle and will be starting the Gonal F on day 5. The only tracking I've really been doing is with the fertility clinic doing blood work and ultrasounds. Other than just my regular period app where it tells me where I am in my cycle and I can keep track of the differences in lengths of my cycle, I haven't been tracking anything more than that.

I hope that this cycle works out well for you! x

 

[TTCfirstovr30]

I have been using the Glow App, I like that I can just track everything there. Like when I started my Clomid, upcoming appointments, my feelings and results of tests. I have not been doing BBT as I just ordered it on Amazon and hasn't come yet.

I will keep you updated, please keep me updated too!

 

[Pitbullmom29]

Welcome! I am hope it all goes well for you both! My doctor has never said anything about me having PCOS. I have my well woman exam on Thursday...so guessing I will technically be tested then :/ and I am nervous. But maybe my doctor will have insight. I hate when I see people who get pregnant without even trying.

 

[TTCfirstovr30]

Don't be nervous, even having PCOS there are plenty of women who are able to conceive.

I feel like our entire lives are worrying about not getting pregnant and now that I want to get pregnant it is super hard!

 

[hopefulttc]

TTCfirstovr30 - I will have to check out that app! I feel like I really should be keeping track of what's going on. Will definitely keep you updated!

Pitbullmom29 - Don't be nervous. I was really confused about it when I was diagnosed after several hospital visits from severe pain from my cysts... but I researched it and so many women go on to conceive and have healthy pregnancies! So no matter what, there is always hope! x

I always feel so selfish when I get upset about seeing other pregnant women or when my friends/family have babies. It's hard feeling like you're the only one who can't conceive and they just don't understand. My mom always tells me to stop worrying, that it's not happening because I want it too much and think about it too much. How can you not when it's in your face everywhere??

 

[MissYogi]

I don't agree with people saying that worrying about it too much is what makes it hard to conceive. Your body is adjusted to experience stress so the worrying that comes with ttc shouldn't affect anything. Thinking about it a lot just makes it more likely that you will make the correct choices with your diet and health, and time bding correctly.

Hi Everyone,
Can I join you ladies..
I am 31 and DH is 34, we have been trying for last 3 months. I am in the same boat, as I have no one else going through this, and I don't know what to expect and what not to expect. I find that this forum helps me alot, and that I can talk about my fears and feeling that I would not be comfortable talking elsewhere. This cycle I have started charting my temperature, so that would help me pin point O day.

Good luck to everyone and hoping for a lot of BFP's soon

 

[hopefulttc]

MissYogi I completely agree, it makes you a lot more conscious about the choices you make for your body and helps you to be better prepared!

Welcome Illa! Where are you in your cycle? Hoping for a good outcome for you x

 

[Illa]

Thank you Hoppeful!
I am currently on CD10, so will be Oing next week, planned to BD as much as possible over then next week

 

[Pitbullmom29]

It is hard when you feel no one understands and that it's in your face all the time! But I like being conscious of it so I can make good choices. Wishing all of us luck!!

 

[TTCfirstovr30]

I have been doing the same thing, taking all of my vitamins, focusing on me and workout 6x per week, I am TRYING to eat healthier. This is the hardest thing for me because I can't seem to not gravitate towards that carb for breakfast and I have not given up caffeine yet. But overall I believe being prepared and proactive is better than not doing anything.

 

[hopefulttc]

Wishing you all good luck, keep us updated... Really hoping to hear good news from you all soon xo

I'm going to be starting my Gonal F tomorrow, very nervous about it but hoping for the best! I'm not a fan of needles so DH is doing it for me -- just keep telling myself it's all going to be worth it.

 

[TTCfirstovr30]

Hopefull, it is all going to be worth it!!

 

[Pitbullmom29]

Ttcfirstovr30 I haven't given up coffee yet either. I can't seem to do it lol.

Hopefulttc in the end hopefully it will all be worth it

 

[hopefulttc]

TTCfirstovr30 & Pitbullmom29 I have been pretty good about giving up coffee, can't let go of my tea though!

 

[MissYogi]

I finally managed to quit all caffeine! I went to decaf coffee first, h UT now I've quit altogether. DH has also stopped drinking caffeine for the most part. We also decided to pretty much quit alcohol this cycle. We are so determined to do everything possible to get a positive this cycle!
