TTC peanut where are you!?

[MegNE922]

I called my OB just to see what he thought my next step should be. Although I'm going to leave him I just needed some direction. He actually told me I should contact a reproductive endochronologyst (sp?) so I did but I won't see him until August. I'm ok with that it just gives me a little hope and I want to try the Clomid again in July. The OB had said that if I did have 1 (and it wasn't cramped back) and it's been like that for a while there's a good chance that my ovary ovulated every month to make up for the other side.
He wanted me to go to the RE bc he wants a second oppinion.

Meg,
I am sorry about the ovary news. Though remember, ovaries don't ovulate alternately. Some people, me included, ovulate multiple times from 1 ovary itself before ovulating once from the other one. I O more from my left ovary and I know this because of follicular scans I did. This might mean you have few annovulatory cycles a year but that's it. you still have many chances. For your peace of mind, get a follicle scan. And yes, do try a second opinion, since your crap OBGYN is not to be trusted too much

Kallie, Hope your tests come out well.. and better still, hope you don't need them at all with a BFP this cycle!
to all ladies

Thank everyone - yes, I am hoping cycle 12 is lucky for me! I am really into statistics and odds and figuring out the science behind things (fertility, lately) so sometimes I get too into that and get down on myself thinking that 'the odds aren't great' and such, but really I need to remember that people get lucky all the time

You guys have been so supportive already, I really appreciate it! I'll let you know how my talk with my doctor goes. It is kind of frustrating because she had kids after trying one month with one, and two months with her second, and I feel like she doesn't have a lot of empathy because I'm 'young' (I'm 27 and my husband is 38!).

I'm going to be really firm though; I feel like there is something wrong with my fertility and health, and even if it is for my own mental well-being, I want to be referred to a specialist or get the tests that I should get to start the ball rolling. If I get pregnant in the process without any drugs or anything, all the better!

Sorry, a bit ranty. Anyone else had a 'too relaxed' vibe from their doctor, when they want more?

 

[Kallie3000]

Also, it was brought to my attention that my signature link to my journal wasn't working. If anyone had tried it, it does work now.

 

[maggz]

Haha Kallie that's what I've been thinking lately... How can there be so many people in the world when conception is so hard! I try not to think about it too much though.

I don't know what to think of my ob yet since my last (first one to see this doc) visit was very short, it took all about 3-4 minutes. Not very personal but oh well she was nice enough. Just seemed weird that she recommended us to wait to try 2-3 cycles after my mc... I'm totally disregarding that advice I haven't heard it before, have you guys heard that? I just don't get the point, I guess. The body recovers pretty quickly from such an early mc...

Anyways girls let's cross our fingers and hope with a dash of trying and a sprinkle of carelessness well all get bfp's!!!

Oh also I wanted to ask have you guys tried preseed? I kinda wanna try it although I have no idea if it'll help us at all.

 

[Kallie3000]

I like preseed a lot (though obviously I have no idea how well it works in reality) - it feels a bit more natural than other stuff, so kind of fun.

I just realized that if I get pregnant this cycle, my due date would be in March - my birth month! Maybe that's lucky too

I have heard the thing about waiting after a miscarriage, but I think it is mostly important for repeat miscarriages, because your body does need some time to heal and regulate its hormones. They might just be on the safe side though.

 

[maggz]

Yeah that might do it for you!

Makes sense for repeat mc to wait... I don't know I'm just gonna let it happen if it happens, I'm for sure not gonna go back to bc now for two months.

Hmmm I might just do some Amazon shopping today haha.

 

[MegNE922]

Maggz. So weird. I always heard that you're most fertile after a mc. I'm really sorry to hear you've had one. I think if you feel ok then you do what you feels best love. I know how you feel about the OB's that want you there to take your money but want you out of the office ASAP.
It's unbelievable.

ATM I'm just waiting and waiting for AF. We didn't try this month and July I want to do the Clomid again and try pineapple. I'm not stressing (yet) but my sisters also coming with my nephew in July the week my FF says that's my fertile week...bah.
Looks like I'll have to put a sign on my door 😜😂. Anywho looking forward to a nice quiet weekend gardening. 😄

Sorry, a bit ranty. Anyone else had a 'too relaxed' vibe from their doctor, when they want more?

I totally get the too relaxed vibe from my doctor. In Feb, it had been two months since af came around, she didn't do anything but tell me to come back if it had been 4 months (because two months "isnt a concern"). I went back when it had been 5 months and she still didn't do much. She did a blood test for hormone and sugar levels (which all came back good), and put me on metformin because it "must be PCOS". She for some reason doesn't want me to try right now. But she never had kids, never wanted kids, so I dont think she understands what a big deal it is for me.... Thinking its time to switch.

 

[Kallie3000]

babylaw - As much as I think doctors can be GREAT without having personal experience of what they are treating, it is really hard to feel empathy from them when they don't really work hard to show it.

My doctor got pregnant with both her kids shortly after starting trying (like, a month!), so I really feel like she "doesn't get it".

Definitely going to be taking my health into my own hands here soon. I wish it wasn't such a vulnrable subject - we really have our lives in the doctor's hands, don't we?

 

[maggz]

Meg, that's what I've heard too! I don't know... I'm just not gonna change anything we're doing, I've had one normal cycle after the mc so it seems like my body's just fine.

Wait, try pineapple??
Haha yeah hang a sock on your doorknob

I had a male doctor back home so I damn sure know he hasn't gone through any of this but I loved him! He always took time to explain everything well and make sure that I had time to ask him questions and room for my opinions on stuff. Ugh, I miss him.

 

[MegNE922]

Peanut where r u? Lol.
Any scans yet! We want to see so please share? Did you tell the family yet? Also how ya feeling?

 

[PeanutWhereRU]

Hey hun sorry I have been missing. I am still suffering from extreme morning sickness which makes me feel like crap and dont want to do anything. I had to tell my family earlier than planned as they were questioning my sickness but I still announced it though a t-shirt that read 'I'm expecting a little peanut' everyone is pretty excited but I can't get into the swing of starting shopping yet. I'm waiting for this sickness to pass and feel slightly normal again. How are you all getting on?

[MegNE922]

Oh my gosh!!!! Sooo cute! That's so exciting!
I'm sorry you're so sick I know there are so many old wives tales out there about what could work. I hope you start feeling better. So happy for you!

 

[maggz]

Oh that's awesome Peanut! I can totally see it I'm so happy for you!!

How are you other girls doing with the waiting? I should be o'ing any day now... got OPKs yesterday.
Do you test at night or day?

 

[MolGold]

I can't wait already though I'm only just due to O today or tommrw opks never with for me!

 

[MegNE922]

Still waiting on AF. No TWW for me just the longest wait for AF...ugh.

I'm noticing a lot of the same symptoms I always think could be pregnancy symptoms and they aren't lol. They're my mind messing with me bc I'm still getting them lol.
So just wanted to say relax and just try not to symptom spot too much.

 

[maggz]

Hey girls long time no see huh!

How are you doing Meg? Any sign of af yet??

I think we covered our basis well this cycle, we (er... I) followed the SMEP and bd'd every other day until I got a positive OPK (on cd14) and dtd 3 days in a row. Now I'm on cd17 and I'm wondering if I should go wake hubby up to get some in

Hope you girls are doing good, and I hope you feel better peanut!

 

[MegNE922]

Hub an I haven't DTD since the 13th! Due to the test I got a horrible yeast infection SOOO EMBARASSING! So I was so mad an put off even after it was gone 3 days later I wasn't having it. Lol poor guy.

I hope all a well with you girls! Hope you caught a sticky one Maggz!
