TWW Support group to help get you through the nitty gritty...and beyond

[ttc2014ks]

I'm new to the ttc world! This is our first cycle actively trying! We did the bd the day before ovulation, the day of and two days after. Right now I'm 11dpo......I'm really praying for the best. Very tender in my lower abdomen. Large amount of watery cervical mucous. And two days ago out of the blue I get a lovely head cold....ugh huh I don't know what tothink!

Ready + Ren- I have been looking around and there are some clinics around Thurston County that can do minor fertility treatment, but for anything past Clomid I would have to go up to Tacoma. My main issue is that a lot of the clinics that would be of help to me don't accept my medical insurance. I found one that should be good (my insurance company recommended it.) I just need to get to my old one and fill out a consent to release my records to the other one. I also am trying to find a doctor that is well educated about pcos. Yes, all of them should know about it but it doesn't mean that they are good at treating it. On top of that, to get certain treatments the doctor has to be willing to nag at my insurance and say that it is a necessary treatment for it, because sadly my insurance doesn't cover a lot of the treatments for the symptoms of pcos. :/
And sorry for freaking out the other day. I was just EXTREMELY upet about it all. I don't like having to change doctors at all.

Ren- I hope that they can figure out what is going on! That has to be pretty frustrating

Ready- I can't see anything yet, but my Fx for you!

Peach- I hope that you are wrong about Af coming in a week! Fx that you get a good surprise!

 

[BABTTC123]

Oh and hi ttc!
Fx that this is your month as well

 

[PeachDaisy]

To all you girls - Thanks for all the positivity on here all the time! You all definitely make this process easier in the long run!

Ready - I don't see anything on the tests :/ How many dpo are you?

TTC - Welcome! This is a great group to join. Fx for you!

AFM - Had a small amount of spotting when I wiped this morning. I'm what I believe to be about 8 DPO. After last month and having spotting in my luteal phase, I'm not getting my hopes up that it's IB or anything. But hey, who knows. If AF isn't here by the 4th I'll test. I'm not going to test early this cycle to hopefully avoid bringing myself down!

Thank you for all the welcome! I'm from Massachusetts, I work in the ems field. NNot married as of now, but ttc with my long time boyfriend. im thinking of testing on sat. Or sun. I tested minday out of just a gut feeling, knowing it really was far too e.. ly. But af is due sunday. At first i wasntbsure about entering any group type thing, but i figured the support woukd do wonders. And since i have no children and this is our first time ttc, the advice and support is greatly appreciated. I've been off bcp since June and this is our first actual cycle. My fingers are crossed! Last night I had two very vivid and wild dreams of receiving bfp.....maybe I wanted this more than I originally thought!

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Ttc-this is a great group, stick with us. Fx'd for ur bfp.
Peach-i don't think I can wait until the 4 th for u to test lol. Gl girl!
Bab-when do u plan to get the ball running with this clinic?
Ren-what exactly shoul I be asking to have tested or done when I see the dr? I have no known issues, cycle is sooo regular...I'm not sure where to start.
Afm-i think 11 or 12 dpo with another bfn. Just waiting for af.

Just popping by to say hello

Me and hubby have finally decided it is definitely time to try for #2! Our DS is 5 years old now and my great maternity package has just kicked in at work!

So excited, we have been wanting to try for a while now but the timing has always been really off!

Managed to get on a fertility monitor trial from clearblue so am pretty certain that I ovulated yesterday or today!

I am going to be testing on 7th or 8th October, we go on holiday on 9th October, so hopefully I will be drinking mocktails all week.

Good luck to everybody

You mentioned his count was 2x normal, but what about his motility and morphology? Have you had a day 3 estrogen check and a day 21 progesterone run? Are you having any spotting outside of your period time? A uterine biopsy can tell the thickness and if there are any other reasons why implantation can fail. Have you had your thyroid checked since you had your baby was born? Thyroid can be tested bad even if the year before it was good. Have you had and autoimmune testing? IgA and IgG testing can show if there is anything like that going on.

Is this for me? I ask only because dh has never had a sperm analysis done. I have had no testing ever regarding my fertility. I was going to after the 2 losses pre dd but then fell pg. I have an appt with my gyno on tues to get things started. I truly think my diet and weight is an issue. I was down to a decent weight after dd but then started ttc and Let it slip and stopped regular exercise.

 

[Renaendel]

Ack, I was thinking of mommy dk! Sorry, I blame the mind slip on the pain! But I guess these are things we can all get tested on. I kind if merged the two of you in my head.

 

[phoenix2712]

*pokes head in* Hey girls.

 

[BABTTC123]

Ready- got the referral today! I should be able to set up my appointment tomorrow and hope to be in within a month at the latest! Trying not to get my hopes up though..

Welcome to phoenix, kitty and persephone!
Sorry if any of you have been here before. I am only a month old or so to this thread in particular so many of you are new to me lol

 

[Renaendel]

Hi Persephone! How have you been?

Babbs, to answer your question I am on 4,000mcg of folic acid a day.

 

[BABTTC123]

4,000 MG?? I was only taking 1600 mcg and it was making more hair grow on my arms! x_x

 

[persephone13]

Hi Persephone! How have you been?

Not terribly great. It's been a long 6 months of PPD, but I'm slowly getting better and considering the possibility of trying again. Maybe.


How have you been?

 

[Smommy013]

Hi persephone!! Good to see you again.

[PeachDaisy]

Hi Pers! Good to see you back. Hope all is well!

AFM - I've been having a weird butterfly feeling in my tummy on and off throughout the day the past few days. It wasn't super obvious until yesterday. Dk if this is anything or not, but thought I would share!
