TTC for 6+ months? *20 bfp's and counting!*

[sandoval_star]

Hi girls, well af got me today... again. Now moving into the 6th month of ttc, I know this is not long in comparison with a lot of others, however it feels like it's really dragging now And I find it hard chatting with girls on some of the threads who are new to the site, only for them to disappear a month later as they have a ! Of course I'm happy for them, but I'm starting to feel alone here!

So! I'm looking for anyone else in the same boat, to offer encouragement, support, and well, just some good conversation to keep me sane on the rest of this journey! Who's in?!

That has happened to me before too, you just kinda get to the point you want af to show up so you can get on with the next cycle. My cycles are now pretty regular at 30 days. Hope af shows up soon (not something I usually say ha!) or you get a really late - now that would be great!

 

[new wifey 83]

its horrible waiting think im 7/8 dpo did a test yest but negative

 

[Hellokitty20]

Thats exactly how i feel! I just wish AF would show up already if im not pregnant so I can get on with my new cycle and trying again! waiting is for sure the worst part!

7-8 DPO is still REALLY early. Try to wait to test until about 12 DPO

Yep, the 6 month mark is horrible.

What have you done/tried so far?

For me, I have only tried OPK's, BD every other day, and this month I started temping. I was going to start taking prenatals but got blood work done and my general doctor told me not to take any supplements as my iron is a little high.

Also got a pelvic ultrasound done yesterday which shows everything seems normal. Also got my hormones checked which show a high level of testosterone. So I am clueless right now

Can I join? This is our 5th month tyring since getting married...... We had intended to try before marriage a year ago but I got injured at work...so we decided to get married first....never thought it would take so long...thought we would have nailed it on our honeymoon! And I am turning 30 soon.....and its tearing me up inside. I wanted a huge family by now...then that passed and decided, well, at least be pregnant by 30....running out of time here. Got pregnant last month...MC on Dec 11th. Tore me apart...and I think my hubby more. Now he is sooooo stressed that he cant perform. I am just dying over here. Trying to remain positive for him but inside I am a mess.

Where are you all in your cycles now? I am CD 3. Hoping to ovulate before day 20! Been so irregular!

MAybe we can all stick together?

So sorry about your MC

I know I am still young, but DH is 34

I am trying not to stress too! I was REALLY stressed the past week because of my test results at the doc. But starting off new today. Gonna surprise DH tonight by dressing up We are BD'ing every day this week since this is my fertile period.

I agree - last cycle I knew there was no chance...all I wanted was AF to arrive so I could have a chance sooner than later!

Oh, hope it works! When I dressed up my hubby knew I was fertile....and it gave him anxiety! I mean, really!?!?!?!?? anxiety about having to have sex with your wife? fudge.....i just dont get it sometimes. i wish we could BD everyday! I'm game! But with shift work, working weekends and sports....were luckey if we get down to business twice a week! even more frustrating! give me a sperm donor I think sometimes! terrible, i know to say, and I dont mean it, but sometimes I wonder if he gets it.....you cant get pregnant everyday!

I am glad your ultrasound is all good. What does a high testosterone level mean?
