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

[sandoval_star]

ya found it a bit helpful just have to wait and see now if shes right!!how u feeling at the mo did DH have other sperm sample?

Yeah, he went on Tuesday so we should find out the results by next week. He's really down about the whole thing and letting it get to him. Bad thing was, he had to abstain for 3 days before the sample, and my ov day was Monday. So this month we only bd'd the day after ov during my fertile time (which was the same day as his sa, so with a low sperm count I don't think doing it twice in one day will have managed anything!) so I don't even have the excitement of the tww this month. Oh well! Hope you're well hun x

Sandoval-- All it takes is one, but I get you.
I had a nice spa day Saturday with DH's mom & sister. Kind of sore from the massage, but I guess that's normal. Probably didn't help that I went out dancing that night either.

Hope everyone is doing well

Hey guys, haven't posted for a while. I went on vacation for a bit, hoping that if I was calm and having fun then maybe this would be my month... well according to when I thought I ovulated, I'm 2 days late. I felt like AF was coming any min over the weekend, but now I feel crampy but less. Naturally, Stark White BFN...

So either I miscalculated ovulation, or something's up with my body. Going to doc. on Thurs is it still hasn't arrived.

Can't believe I'm heading onto Month 10 of TTC... it just gets harder

 

[Mrs B.]

Ooo, Ella, maybe the cramping was implantation?? I have my FX for you!!

Sorry Sandoval, but at least you are getting some results next week. We got it approved today that DH can have a SA...he's pretty nervous. FX you get some good results next week!

How's everyone doing? I'm going to be starting Soy Isoflavones tonight for 5 days. Kinda nervous it will mess up my system - but docs won't do anything now until the referral in November so I kinda feel like I have nothing to lose.

This aint easy. My epic cycle is def. drawing to a conclusion, I'm sure that tomorrow is going to be CD1......

Hi Ladies,

It's been a while for me...things have been so busy lately. To update, DH and I went to see a fertility specialist and are in the process of doing all the initial testing. DH did his SA last week, and tomorrow I go for my CD3 bloodwork and ultrasound. (apparently this is an internal U/S..which is weird, since I have AF). Next Friday I am scheduled for an HSG. Not looking forward to that, but i'm in it for whatever it takes. Just very nervous to hear there will be something drastically wrong with us. Aside from all of that, my last cycle just lasted 37 days..a week longer than usual. I swore up and down I was pregnant, but of course..no.

Anyway, enough about me! Hope everyone is doing well and we see some more BFPs added to our list soon.

 

[HopeforFuture]

Well, it's been a long time since I posted too. I got really down and couldn't face coming online coz every time I did someone in a forum I was a member of got a BFP, and it made me sad.

I was getting upset A LOT and realised that it really wasn't normal to feel like this - called the doc, explained how I felt and he booked us in immediately for SA and blood tests. I've already had my day 21 progesterone test, and tests for diabetes, thyroid problems, kidney problems. I am awaiting results. Hubby can go get his SA whenever he likes. He is going to go next Friday.

How do you stay strong ladies? x

The the thing that has me looking more positive is that I had my uterine polyps removed last month. So it's like a new start, but in the back of my head I'm worried that that wasn't the issue. DH had his SA and it was normal. I've had the SIS like a HSG, progesterone, and thyroid checked and everything is good. Hopefully your tests will help you... Katikins & Hopefor.

super bright OPK so plenty of for us!

I have good days and bad days. I try to stay as positive as i can. But it is so hard. Just found out an ex of mine is having a baby with his wife. That made me realise that even as much as i want to be a Mum i want to be with my DH more. So whatever happens i have always got him regardless of whether we manage to have children or not.

I hope your tests come back with good news and you dont have to wait too much longer for a baby.

 

[snowflakes120]

Hopeforfuture - Like Flou, I have good days and bad days. More bad days lately. I am finding it hard. I just passed my would have been EDD. And am now over the 1 year mark of TTC. I find it hard to find the positivity in the whole thing. I just keep thinking someday I will have my miracle. I too feel upset sometimes when others get a BFP. But the worst is looking at my co-worker all day long with her belly.

BFN for me this cycle. Bummer. Stopping the Prometrium and AF should arrive soon for me. Going to make my appt on lunch for Monday to get my 4th round of Clomid & talk about getting hubby tested.

But good news is that we are going on a vaca to Charleston, SC next cycle during my fertile time so I am hoping that it is just what we need to make a baby!

 

[Ella_Hopeful]

It's so difficult to be positive... I just found out my brother in law and his girlfriend are planning to TTC after they get married in a month's time.

They know we've been TTC for ages.

I know they'll be first. Even though I've been with my DH for much longer, and been TTC for longer

When I see her preg. ('Cos I know it'll happen quickly... I mean, normally it does, right?) I'm going to

 

[dreaminghopin]

Hi ladies.. Totally feel the same way too. I have had a rubbish cycle where I have spotted from ovulation (and nope it isn't implantation as it happens every month). I am the only one out of my school friends and only one out of my university friends that isn't a mum or preggers. My hubby's Sis got married 2 months ago and have made no secret of the fact they would be delighted to be pregnant. I know I am avoiding her (which is terrible cos she's a great girl) but I know she is going to turn round very soon and tell me she's pregnant. Sending you all lots and lots of baby dust xxxxx

 

[onebumpplease]

I'm sorry ladies that everyone feels so low. I know exactly how you feel, I've really struggled the last couple of months.

I am feeling more positive now, not because anything has changed, because I had to find a way, I've been trying for a while and for some reason, I'm more hopeful. It is clearly taking time for us to conceive but I NEED to believe I can in order to continue living...

 

[snowflakes120]

Ella - This exact same scenario just happened to me today and I couldn't help but be crushed. Here's the story: My direct co-worker is like 22 weeks PG. Then the 1 other girl that I work directly with dropped a hint by saying "I'll be PG in the next few months" so I know that she's just starting TTC since she just moved into a new place and we just hired her on permanently. I know she'll get PG before me (because like you... that's how it works!!) and then the 2 people I work directly right next to (3 ft away) will both be PG. And I will be a mess. I need to find a new job - I feel like such a coward saying that but I don't think I can emotionally take that.

One bump - I see AF got you. Glad that you are able to put that long cycle behind you. And happy that you are hopeful. Have you gotten the results from your tests yet?

 

[Ella_Hopeful]

I think everyone on this thread needs some hugs



Anyway, practically speaking, I thought I ovulated 20 days ago, and still no AF. Naturally, BFN, so I'm waiting for AF.

Went to GYN today and he said I should just wait it out and if I don't have AF in a week, I should go back to 'take action'...

And even better news than that... he said I don't need to wait until a year to start investigating! I think he was impressed that I knew so much about TTC and wasn't just another one of these women who don't know when to BD etc...

 

[onebumpplease]

Snowflakes and Ella although I am not in that position just now. I know that I would struggle to be there. One lady where I'm working is getting married in summer and there has been a lot of 'talk' of pregnancy and I think she will be trying asap.

Not sure if this is a + or a - , but my contract ends in June so at least I won't need to see that happening face to face. One colleagues daughter is pregnant, due in July and just listening to her stings.

Snowflakes you need to do what is right

I'm due my results by Tuesday. I tried to call to book HSG but keep getting answering machine and can only phone at certain times, can't keep trying Anyway will try again tomorrow...
