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

[sandoval_star]

feel like its never going to happen very down and out feeling sorry for myself !!

I know how that feels, I was in the exact same boat when af arrived last week. But I'm now feeling more positive, and you will too! I think the disappointment of af showing up, coupled with all the pms and hormones definitely makes it hard for a few days but once it passes you will be raring to go once again. And we're all here for you to vent to, so don't hold back!

I know, I hope a trend starts and we start getting more BFP's!

So how is everyone doing today?

I am alright. No symptoms of AF yet. I usually get mild cramps and sore bbs starting a week before AF. So, looks like this may be a long cycle

Hi girls,
Mind if I join your thread? I have been TTC for 8 months now. I was on BCP for 10+ years, and went off in may 2011. I found that I had very long, irregular cycles, and didn't always O. My ob/gyn gave me Clomid so I've been taking that, unmonitored, for 2 cycles. I thought I O'd on CD15, but after one day of temp spike, my temp dropped back down. I have been having dull cramps in the ovary area for the past couple days, so I don't really know what is going on. This TTC business is frustrating! DH has not gotten a SA yet, but I keep asking him to, and he keeps putting it off. Its getting frustrating asking him over and over again. I had my bloodwork done and my doc said it does not look like PCOS, so i'm not really sure what is preventing me from getting preggo. I also am a spotter in the LP, for a good week or so before AF.

I have read through the forum, and Lulu, our charts look similar. +opk and then weird temperatures that are not all that helpful!

Good luck to everyone!

Hi Chloe welcome!

Did you actually see the results of your blood work? If so, what did your numbers look like?

Yes, my temps are definitely all over the place. I have always gotten a positive OPK since TTC, but you can get a positive OPK without actually O'ing. Your body will produce the LH surge, but an egg will never actually be released.

Have you had a pelvic ultrasound yet?

Hi girls! Can I join? I would love to hang with some girls that are in the same boat as me. I joined a few threads when we 1st started trying and am the last one basically in both of them to get PG...

An intro: We have been TTC since June 2011. So we are entering our 9th cycle. I did get PG in Sept - our 5th month of trying but it sadly ended in a MC. So here we are back at square 1 again. I have an appt 2/28 to see if my OBGYN will hopefully start testing or Clomid or whatever.

I am currently CD10 and doing the SMEP this cycle. I start my OPK's tomorrow. FF has me OV either Fri, Sat or Sun

Excited to get to know you all.

Hi could i join this thread....me and DH have been trying for 8 months now...i was on BC for 8-9 years or more...and i went off it June 11th ( my moms bday...and the day of my first baby buy ). Found out in March, April i have Hypothyroidism...im seeing a specialist now...so its almost under control Pretty excited...hoping this is the month!

 

[Chloe597]

Lulu, yes I got to see my bloods and everything was in the 'normal' range, but then again, there were ranges listed for Luteal Phase and Follicular phase, and I had bloods taken when I was spotting, presumably after O sometime. Progesterone was on the low end of normal, testosterone was on the higher end of normal, but everything else was pretty much dead center. I haven't had an ultrasound. I had one a long time ago when I was spotting, but bcp 'fixed' it, so its been a good 10+ years since i've had an ultrasound.

Snow, what is SMEP?

Congrats, Miss Broody!!

 

[snowflakes120]

Chloe - It is called Sperm Meets Egg Plan (SMEP)

"Try" every other night starting Day 8
Buy 10 ovulation predictor kit sticks
Begin ovulation testing on Day 10
When test is positive, "try" that night, plus two additional nights in a row
Skip one night, then do one last "try"
Take a home pregnancy test 15 days after your ovulation test was positive, if your period has not begun
If your ovulation test never goes positive, continue "trying" every other night until Day 35, then do a pregnancy test if your period has not begun.
Statistics coming in from women who write me show that about 40% of post-miscarriage women will get pregnant on the first try if they are faithful to the plan, about double the number of the normal population who are not on the plan. This assumes, of course, that you waited for a normal cycle to begin after your loss, and did not begin trying before having a period after a miscarriage. Many women do not ovulate in that first cycle.

Hi everyone! I would like to join in! I have been ntnp/2 months of trying since we got married in July. We used preseed this month but I don't think it will give me my BFP this month. I am 10dpo and af is due on Friday and I feel like I am af is coming. Off and on cramps and my breasts feel like punching bags. Good luck everyone!

Hey, welcome! I'm also due to ovulate Sat/Sun... getting impatient to get on with the bd'ing!!

How are all you girls doing this week?

 

[snowflakes120]

Sandoval - I am excited to get started on this OV and Bding too!! For now we are just BDing every other day til I get a positive OPK.

Erika - Your not out til AF arrives!! Cramping and sore BB's are good symptoms!

 

[sugaplumx27]

hey girll, i'm in mo. 5 of ttc and i definitely feel you. i should be ovulating tomorrow or the next day so i'm holding my breath until i get to test. its driving me crazyyyyyy!!!!

 

[sandoval_star]

Right so we've all been at this ttc game for a while now - time for some s!! I'm thinking every one of us could be lucky this month, what with all the preseed, bd'ing every other day, opk's, checking cm, temp charting.... ETC!!!

Let's do it!!

 

[LittleWorrier]

Hi All,

I don't understand all the terminnology! Haha.

I'm 26 and have been ttc for nearly 7months. NOTHING!

I had an app on my phone which told me my fertile days and I'm usually really good at tracking my periods but nope this month I'm forgetting it all because i have 5 new borns around me (friends and familY) and I can't take month of negetive tests! Last month I was 3 days late, usually 28days and I was lighter and that really got my hopes up.

Today I have a funny taste in my mouth, sometimes blood, sumtimes sour and a burning sensation at back of throat. DRIVING ME MAD! xxx
