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

[dalismom]

Hello, how is everyone doing? Any updates?

Nothing new for me, on CD6. The witch left yesterday so FINALLY get to tonight!!! Been too long! lol

I STILL haven't heard from the FS. I am getting mad and wondering if I should just call a different one. I have Kaiser so have to go through their specialists. But the next closest one is 90 minutes away! I don't want to have to go that far. But the fact that I still haven't even actually talked to anyone at this department is making me mad. What happens if I start getting treatment and I have a quick question...will it take me 2 weeks to get a hold of someone?

If I don't hear from someone this week, I will call Kaiser and ask to see someone else.

Hope everyone else is doing good!

So far so good here. I really hope they call you soon! that would be super frustrating, honestly is just rude of them! I mean I am sure they are busy but a nurse couldn't call you? I really hope that they step up and they are a good fit for you!!! Fingers crossed and baby dust for this month!!!

Hey Dalismom! How are you feeling? Any symptoms?

I have a question, how did you get Clomid? Through your GP or OBGYN? I don't understand why my GP or OBGYN won't help me out! I mean, I never really asked. But still! They just pushed me along. I am thinking about setting up an appointment with another OBGYN to try and get clomid. How would I go about it? Do I just tell them that I have PCOS, track my cycles and know I don't ovulate? So frustrating why everyone else gets Clomid, but I can't!

Hey Lulu! I am good, HCG level at 216 today, I guess that is the starting point, we will see from here

About the clomid, I was using another obgyn and she was awful! Not proactive at all, I just started searching online and found the one I have now. Made an appt, went in, told him that we had been trying for a while and that I was not ovulating. He did a progesterone test that day, I actually had ovulated but it was a very low number. I told him I was ready to at least start a low does 50 mg, and he called it in! He was very receptive, I think that that is KEY! I hope you find someone good! I was really afraid of changing dr.s but I am SOOOOO glad I did. If he wouldn't have given me the clomid, who knows how long it would have taken? I would def try someone else, someone that listens to you and is proactive about your wants and needs! Good luck!!!!!

 

[LuluSS]

Thanks. I requested online to get an appointment with an OB/GYN. I am just going to tell them that I was diagnosed with PCOS by the endocrinologist, he told me to see the FS, but they aren't answering my calls. Hopefully the OBGYN will help me out. It is worth a shot anyways.

Wishing you a H&H 9 months! Hope I can join you soon!!!

Hi girls, how is everyone doing? Snowflakes - have you tested yet?

I'm currently 10 dpo and tested today but , felt really down about it... Not sure I have positivity left for this cycle. I still have sore bbs, but some cycles I have that more than others. Trying to not count myself out completely yet...

I know what you mean about not counting yourself out. I always test around 10-11DPO, and always get a BFN. I always try to tell myself that I am not out until AF shows, but it is so hard!

AFM - Finally spoke to the infertility coordinator. I have to get more bloodwork done, then DH has to go through his insurance and get blood work and an SA done. Then when she has all of the results she will submit it to the off-site infertility clinic where they will review the info. Hopefully the process doesn't take too long!

 

[sandoval_star]

Do you feel a bit better about your local fs now? It seems like things are moving for you now Lulu, which is great news! My dh spoke to his doctor about my worries and he gave him an at-home SA kit which he has to hand in to a local hospital when he is ready. I had some blood tests done already which showed my hormone levels to be normal. I think I might be getting overly concerned when I just need to let mother nature do her job!

How you feeling about ttc at the moment? I'm definitely finding it difficult x

 

[LuluSS]

That is good that your are getting some preliminary tests done! That might make you feel a little better. Mine definitely did (even though it wasn't good news).

I am not feeling too good right now about TTC. Honestly, this is horrible to say, but ever since I was a teenager, I can't picture myself being pregnant or having a baby. No matter how hard I try, I can't picture it. I know that doesn't mean much, but I also had a feeling (when I was a teenager) that I would have troubles conceiving. And now here I am....I am sad....

 

[sandoval_star]

That is so weird you say that Lulu... I have always had the exact same feeling about being pregnant, that it might not happen for me
I can't explain it, but whenever I try to imagine myself pregnant, I have a horrible feeling that I won't ever be. That said, I really hope we are wrong. Even if there are difficulties, there are so many good things that can be done nowadays; hopefully that means we will have the babies we want so much x

 

[trgirl308]

Lulu, it will happen!

I am keeping everything crossed for you ladies. Af is due for me tomorrow, I haven't managed to test because I keep wasting fmu at 4am... but I don't think it worked this cycle. Oh well.

I TOTALLY understand what you mean when you say you can't imagine yourself being pregnant I just tested and got another BFP after being 3days late I cried all day and of course I was at work for 10 hrs so I had to keep ducking out of the room TTC is exhausting me I feel like giving up at times but I know I can't :-/ I feel so tired of crying about it and so tired of being afraid it will never happen ...this next month will be my 11th of TTC and getting closer to a year terrifies me

Yeah, there are a lot of treatments available. But it is so scary.

I hope we are wrong too! It will feel so weird when I eventually do get pregnant!

I can't believe you haven't tested yet!! Good luck!!!

Hey I wanna join this group I am on my 7th month ttc and I'm ready to c my bfp lol I have the feeling that once I get everything settled in my house the baby will come I had a dream about being 6 months pregnant 2 nights ago then I had a dream about my baby she was a girl and so cute hopefully these are signs bc I've never had a pregnancy dream

 

[AshleeG]

This is month 6 for me as well, we got married in August and started trying right away. I'm 2 days late now. Tested the day I expected AF and got a big fat no way. Hoping for the positive this weekend, I'm so sick of negatives it's time for a positive!

 

[sandoval_star]

Hey jrwifey and Ashlee :wave: Lovely to have you! Ashlee, we got married in Aug too and have been trying since then...

Well this morning there was a small bit of brown when I wiped (11 dpo). Not sure why I'm spotting as af is 3 days away and it's unusual for me to spot this early. Maybe af is deciding to become irregular too, just to throw me off some more! Tested anyway and

 

[xnikkix]

I am totally gutted to say the witch came at cd40....don't understand as I def had spotting at cd 16 which i thought might have been late implantation!! So confused my last cycle was 23 days!! I think i really need to go and get some blood work done too, find out what is going on with me!!
Sandoval - sounds like u might be having some implantation bleeding - good luck for your BFP!!

I know what you mean about feeling like you will never get pregnant. Even before I ever planned ttc I worried that it may never happen as it is something I have always wanted. Everyone around me seems to be able to get pregnant really easily. Me and my DH have been together for 10 years and married for nearly two. This is our 11th month ttc and even though I am only 30 I worry that I may have left it to late. Or maybe my worries are what is preventing me from getting pregnant!

I woke up at 3am last night cuz I needed to pee but I managed to hold it cuz I really wanted to test this morning... and I did, but still bfn and I really feel like the will be here any minute.

I understand the age thing. I'm only 27 so it isn't so bad, but DH is 34, almost 35 and his isn't as vigourous as it used to be, and we would like more than one child, but so far we haven't even gotten close to one...

Welcome to all the new ladies!! to everyone, Sandoval; hoping that is a good sign for you!
