Hi Everyone!
So, I've been TTC #3 for about 12 months now with no success. I'm wondering what's going on and if anyone out there has some light they can shed on my situation.
#1 was conceived after about 6 months of trying, and my beautiful daughter was born. After getting my period back for 2 months after childbirth, I conceived again and had an early miscarriage. 3 months after that, we conceived and I gave birth to my wonderful son. I feel sooooo blessed to have them both (especially since the dr.'s gave us virtually no hope for conceiving naturally due to one not-so-good semen analysis).
Fast forward almost 2 years, and we've been TTC #3 for a good year now. I know how fortunate we are to have the two healthy children that we have, but I just don't feel "done".... I feel like our family is not complete. Ever since having our son 22 months ago, my periods have changed. For the first 6 months or so, they were quite painful. Not just cramping, but a shooting pain that felt like it went right through my cervix and became even more painful when having a BM during AF (tmi, I know - sorry!). When I asked my Ob-Gyn about it, he said that my uterus had probably just dropped a bit after childbirth.
That has pretty much subsided, but I do get pretty strong ovulation pain for about a day or so, which I never had prior to having my son. My DH and I have been timing intercourse perfectly for about a year now with no luck. (I know this b/c I monitor my CM and BD with my DH as soon as I see fertile CM. Ovulation pain and fertile CM occur simultaneously with positive OPK's, and my period arrives 14 days later, like clock work). My menstrual cycles do vary quite a bit (anywhere from 28-40 days), but my luteal phase is always 13-16 days long.
I guess my question is, what happened???? Why the sudden difficulty conceiving and painful ovulation?? I am currently on CD 9 and notice a bit of EWCM and have had strong ovuation pain on my right side all day. This is super early for me to be ovulating (especially given my tendency to have longer cycles), but all signs point to that. (I did BD with my DH, so fingers are crossed!)
My yearly visit to my ob-gyn is coming up next month, so I will most definitely bring all of this up to him, but wondering if any of you ladies have any answers??? Thank you so much!
