TTC...Not Looking So Hopeful...

[aero-chick]

So, I've posted before about this, but now I'm just getting discouraged and not so hopeful. My BF and I have been trying since February of this year... and still nothing. I've cut out alcohol. I drink one coffee a day and i don't do drugs. I do smoke, but like 3 a day if that... And my AF is pretty much normal. I usually get it either a day or 2 early, or between 1-3 days later then what i have calculated out... so it's like clock work pretty much

I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and I'm starting to curse it. I have done everything right from having "fun" around time of ovulation to laying with my hips elevated for a half hour after... NOTHING is working . I try my hardest to stay away from bad foods, and drink lots of water and all that jazz... My mom is even starting to crack little jokes about when I'm giving her a grand baby. It's kind of depressing because my YOUNGER brother just had his SECOND daughter... Why not me?

I'm really hoping something comes up cause I'm starting to want to give up on this trying stuff...

If any of you other lovely ladies have had the same issue and have gotten pregnant... Pass on some tips?! pleeaase

Hi there!
Thought I'd give you a success story

Well I wasn't trying to be fair but I do have PCOS. I honestly think that quitting was what got me pregnant in the end. I smoked for years and like you between 1 and 5 a day. On a Saturday a bit more. But not excessive.

Sorry I've lost my train of though!

Point is! This must be awful but having PCOS doesn't ruin your fertility Good luck TTC! and I hope you get your BFP soon

thanks hehe
I'm hoping so too!
It'd be such a joy!!! Im still young too (22 y/o, bf is 21) so i have a while to try.
Maybe i'll just stop being so focused on it and start focusing on other things then maybe!? aha!!

My personal TTC technique was be on the pill. Get HORRIFIC strep throat and then the doctor starts pumping you with antibiotics without mentioning they affect the pill! Maybe it was why I was regular? Who knows!
Then once you're about 4 weeks pg (and totally unaware) come off the pill and use condoms When period doesn't come shrug it off as PCOS. Next thing you know you're being told you're 12 weeks preggo!

So that's how to get pregnant and avoid first tri!

My friend had PCOS and ttc for ages and when she quit smoking she conceived about 4 months after that, she ttc with the smoking and drinking. But that's still a personal xchoice, there's too much prejudice around smokers these days, at one point they didn't know it was harmful and babies were still born FX'd for you soon. You have got age on your side too you are right! Good luck BD'ing... Xxx
