TTC feeling like my body is broke

[karatemom]

Im currently on cycle day 16 and having some cramping... After months of trying and getting repeated and crying....im at my wits end I feel like my body is failing me like its against me ...we are every other day...I fear im getting depressed a little ...I used ovulation kits for 20 days never got a positive result unless I was missing it or simply don't know how to read it ...im trying to chart cervical mucus and position but I cant really tell a difference...I guess mostly I need support of ladies that are trying to conceive as well ....ive had 1 miscarriage in 2009 and birthed a 35 weeker in 2010 ..he is 5 now ...ahhhh what is wrong with me I have 6 days until im supposed to test according to my app on my phone but today im cramping mildly mostly to the sides I fear its coming I don't know ....

I feel like that too sometimes. Have you tried tracking your BBT to confirm you are ovulation? So you at least know for sure if you are. I recently went to my doctor (I'm 36and we've been trying for 7 months) because I wasn't ovulating every month and turns out I have PCOS.

I did try BBT but thought maybe it was wrong my temp was 98.6 every single day I thought maybe it wasn't working since it was the exact same every time

I have recently stumbled upon some research that says melatonin can cause you not to ovulate ...I take it every single night 10 mg well I did I want touch it ever again...so maybe it was that ...I don't know....a lot of my friends are pregnant and I really am happy for them BUT im very jealous at the same time .....keep asking myself what am I doing wrong what can I do different .....I was really hoping this was my month but the way these cramps feel I highly doubt it...and thank you for responding its nice to have support from others in my situation

I havnt tried BBT yet... I came off the depo about 3 months ago and although every month i get cramping and other symptoms I have no actual cycle... Just ordered Vitex yesterday, have an apt to go see my OB/GYN to get a hormone test, hoping i can get back on track soon...

so what happens then with the pcos .....is there something you can do to increase your chance and what were your symptoms

What is Vitex

Its been a rough couple months for us... Although I am a bit younger (22) my husband had to come off PTSD meds for us to try for kids and now suffers the effects on a daily basis... When I was on the depo I always had a period at the end of the 3 months before my next shot... but the one time i go off the depo to try for kids I get nothing. Feels like my body doesnt want to cooperate, and I feel like im letting my hubby down by not being able to conceive right now

Vitex is a vitamin/mineral that helps promote a regular cycle and ovulation... also known as agnus castus

PCOS basically mean I don't have regular cycles and my hormones are goofy and it causes insulin resistance. The doctor put me on metformin and that is supposed to help. I am taking Vitex as well.
