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

[SignoraL]

So glad you like your RE, Redskins! I think it sounds like you are taking all the right steps. I know you had the HSG done but you have to do any other tests (i.e. hysteroscopy, sonohyst, endometrial biopsy)? I had to have all those done, but I've spoken to other people who didn't do them until after a round of IUI or IVF.

I'm 4dpo today. It's one of those months where I'm so hopeful it hurts... I don't think I could actually deal with the disappointment of getting AF in 10 days time. I'm hoping by then I would have psyched my self up enough to be able to deal with it. It's almost like a 'this is the month' feeling, but because of that feeling I'm already depressed that it might not happen. Anyone know what I mean?

I haven't been on here in a while - took a step back after AF arrived last cycle and made my priority me and my health. Joined the gym and decided to NTNP to save my sanity!

I am so very sorry Newwifey All us ladies are here for you if you need us xx

Redskins - Awesome appt it sounds! Your making me want to leave my OBGYN and suck it up and pay the the exorbitant amount to see an RE for a great plan like yours.

Ella - I am 3dpo and am feeling the exact same way. I am sooooooo hopeful this month and have been saying this is our month but then I look at my crappy looking chart so far and it brings me down and feel like I can't say it's our month anymore.

New wifey - Thinking of you.

Hey Snowflakes, I'd say if you feel ready, go see the RE. (It's probably covered by insurance to at least do a consult. All of our testing was covered too, but assisted conception is not). I felt much better after DH and I both did testing and got a diagnosis because we finally knew what needed to be fixed. However, I feel really lucky that I don't have a pushy doc because I know some fertility clinics just push you right into doing IVF. The Society of Assisted Reproductive Technologies has success rate reports on their website and you can look at the various clinics (at least in the U.S.). I've read that the "live birth" rate is the most important number on there.

Please still be hopeful! I'm trying to focus on the positive this month, especially now that I'm getting close to the usual end of my cycle. Usually I start feeling down around this time.

Thanks Signora. I just realized we both started TTC at the same time. My concerns lie with my Progesterone. They upped my Clomid to 100mg this cycle and I take 200mg of Prometrium and I still don't think my Progesterone will be up to par this cycle as my temps on my chart are barely above my cover line. I go next week for my bloods to know the definite number and whether to be concerned. If it's low again this month, I honestly don't know what he will do. I know injectibles help Progesterone but he doesn't do that. Also, I want to ask about HSG. I feel what's the point of taking Clomid if my tubes are blocked anyways, ya know? My mom had one done and got PG with my sister that same month and a girlfriend had one and got pregnant the same month too. So I figure it can't hurt my chances to get it done.

Basically, I'll have to call my insurance and see what they will cover. I know that specialist visits are covered for $50 after my $3,500 deductible is met. A new policy year starts June 1. I it's really going to depend on what the RE office would code the appt as - if it's coded as infertility it won't be covered at all - I have already learned that lesson the hard way...

How's everyone doing? Think I ovulated yesterday (at last; the 2 weeks leading up to it felt really long this month!) Definitely covered all bases, so... wait and see I guess! Hope we can up the numbers of bfp's on the thread title this month ladies! x

Me too Sandoval! Very best of luck to everyone! You ladies are lovely and deserve your BFPs!!! xxx

I am recovering from a cough and cold but other than that I am good thank you. NTNP was the best decision I have made in a while. It is nice to feel more relaxed. I have no idea when I'm O-ing - am deliberating not checking CM or doing OPKs this cycle. Just taking it easy and going with the flow - so far so good!

 

[Mrs B.]

Good luck to those who are ovulating, FX you get your bfp's this month!

Snowflakes, I have my FX the docs will start listening to you and you can get your bfp too!

Sorry if I have missed anyone, how you all doing? I'm on CD2 right now Really thought this was my month...spotted from 6dpo until 12dpo then AF came 13dpo). Really beginning to think I have a progesterone problem, luckily my doc had already agreed that I could have the day 21 (or in my case, day 32) test this cycle. So I'm not really going to bother too much this month as I just don't think I am getting anywhere. Hopefully the doc will see something that can be fixed. I really don't want to have to wait until November to be referred to a fertility specialist!! x

Glad mrs b you can get bloods done and at least it should tell you one way or another. When i first started ttc back in april 2011 i started spotting which i had never done before about 5 days to a week before AF. I had cd 21 blood test done in september 2011 and confirmed i was ovulating and my hormone levels were all normal. Then randomly i stopped spotting before AF since feb this year. I have no idea why i was spotting, i guess it was just a weird body thing for me.

If we don't manage to conceive by july my DH is going to go for a SA and see if we can get more tests done. Im really not looking forward to more tests. Why is it so hard being a woman! My DH is lovely and very supportive of everything us ladies go through but i still don't think he really understands!

 

[new wifey 83]

hi guys hope ye are all well .im feeling v down at the mo my bestfriend announced shes 6 weeks pregnant and wasnt even trying.happy for her but heartbroken

 

[onebumpplease]

Aw New Wifey I know I find it so hard, it actually feels like my heart breaks. You wouldn't take it away from anyone, but it doesn't stop you from hurting.

However I know you will be feeling it even more so. Oh gosh New Wifey, I hope it doesn't take you long, hope next cycle you try will be yours.

 

[new wifey 83]

i keep thinking what did i do wrong i was so careful

 

[sandoval_star]

Please don't blame yourself in any way new wifey Sometimes things happen that none of us can understand and it's definitely not fair as someone like you deserves to be a Mum so much. It will happen though, and if anything the amount of pain you are feeling only goes to confirm how amazing you will be at parenthood as you care so much. I really hope the coming weeks get easier and you have your bfp soon xx

 

[flou]

You did nothing wrong new wifey. You will be an amazing mum when the time comes. I hope you get a bfp soon and next time its a sticky one!xxx

 

[Ella_Hopeful]

new wifey- when my chemical happened I thought the same. When I got my BFP, within a few hours I managed to burn myself really badly, and I got such a shock from it I was sure it was my fault... but then I thought more. Surely if a baby is meant to be brought into the world, it will... we can't control who's going to make it and who isn't. You'll see, when you get your BFP (Soon, I hope...) and when you finally get to meet your precious baby, you won't want it to have been a different baby! That's what's helped me anyway...

Hi Girls,

So today (one week before AF, and about 10-12 dpo) I noticed a small amout of pinkish blood when I wiped. Been having a few slight cramps, and also had a bout with nausea a few days back. Is it possible for this to be implantation bleeding? I never spot between periods, so this is very odd. Trying not to be too over positive here...but may take a HPT tomorrow. What do you think?

 

[CherylC3]
