hello ladies. didnt post for a while.... i got another BFN and i was feeling really upset. today i discovered that my best friend got a BFP and i was the last one to know... its so sad and frustrating.. i feel so much hurt... i am taking loads of fertility pills and medication to help my mucus but nothing is working .what is wrong with me? can i just conceive???

Hi Isabel209, sorry to hear you are so down - I feel the same as you and everyone around me is always pregnant and having babies its very hard to understand why we can't. Sometimes it just takes some people longer. We've been trying for a year and a half now. What fertility pills and medication are you taking, is it from a doctor? Have you had any tests at the hospital and if you don't mind me asking how old are you? Hang in there! Go and run yourself a nice hot bath and have a glass of wine or something yummy to eat to cheer yourself up, try and read a nice magazine totally not related to pregnancy or babies! Have a nice evening and I hope you feel better, you aren't alone! x

The ladies who are having problems with the B6 vitamins and Oing... do any of you have PCOS?

I have never been diagnosed with it and don't really have the symptons - my periods have always been regular like clockwork since my first one so I don't think so..

Hi CRC

Thanks for your post. So here is my story in short… I am 29 years old. Have been ttc since june 2010. tried to take clomid but it didn’t work. Had visual disturbances with it. so my specialist put me on femara. This is my 4th cycle on femara. This cycle I took 7 femara and 2 prednisone (to help femara work as they seem not to be working). Specialist also gave me muciclar tablets to help my mucus as I am not noticing any. Do you know how mucus is suppose to be during the whole cycle. I know there is a period of time where I should be dry. In other days it must be clear and stretchy and in other days cloudy white… but I am noticing any… B6 vitamins didn’t work not even evening primrose… help !!!!! I feel really down


Ps. I cant take hot baths and they give me an irritation.. I cant use a lot of water while showering as water irritates me. I am very sensitive… wine gives me abdominal pain (IBS)… I am allergic to some foods as well so I have to be very cautious… how can I relax? How can I not thing about anything? I am so concerned about everything and think that I can never conceive

I used to take B6 vitamins but didn’t work on me. So I stopped them. i also took evening primrose but didn’t work as well. so now I am taking femara fertility pills instead of clomid as these didn’t work and muciclar to help my mucus be visibile as I don’t see any… but no polycystic ovaries XXX

Hi Isobel, I'm so sorry to hear you are so down. Its very hard for me to make you feel better over the internet and I really don't want to say the wrong thing. I think you need to speak to a mecical professional/counsellor or someone that is close by like a friend or family member that can help.

I also think that although this won't help, you have not been trying for that long and you are under 30 so I think you really have to try and relax as your stress levels will not be helping you get pregnant.

Have you done yoga? If not you should really try that. Also reading nice magazines (nothing to do with babies though!), taking a walk in a park (nature is great for calming you down and if you are anywhere near an ocean then even better) and if you can afford it then take a break away somewhere to get away from all your familiar scenes.

Re Mucus, it should get heavy around the time of ovulation (it gets heavier and heavier bit by bit as it leads up to ovulation) and then dries up after that before your period.

I hope these things help!

I have never tried yoga and I heard that it helps. i should try it. I also have in mind in booking a message and reflexology to relax and dedicate some quality time for myself.. I try to find some time as my life is very busy at times. I used to use betadine vaginal douche several times for years and I think this thing has killed all my mucus. Hope I can get it back…I don’t notice any… really rarely that I see something. I am on my first cycle using the CBFM. I am on cd 10 and got my first high today. I am getting excited.. cant wait to ovulate… my gynae says that I do ovulate but ovulation is not strong as my progesterone is not high. And when TTC its imp to get high progesterone!!! Do you know at which level does CBFM tests? Is it when progesterone is adequate for pregnancy?

Isobel- try preseed. I cant get good CM for the life of me and ordered a pill called FERTILECM from amazon. It is supposed to help, but I am going to do the preseed first and see. THat just mimics fertile mucus and supports sperm.

Also- if you type in a search for fertile cervical mucus on here there are threads that its the main topic there may be women who know more and have better suggestions on the matter there.

Hope it works for you!

Thanks for the post dear… I am on my 3rd cycle using preseed. I will search that thread you suggested. Thanks again XXX

 

[nypage1981]

Your welcome. I may hafta search it too, i never get EWCM either! Good luck!

 

[nypage1981]

Hmmm- i just tried finding some threads on the matter, and it didnt really bring me to anything that seemed indicative of talking about cervical mucus. I figured it would show threads about that.....maybe not?

 

[Isabel209]

Your welcome. I may hafta search it too, i never get EWCM either! Good luck!

did you find the thread cause I didn’t!! my problem is that I don’t get cm at all!!! Nothing at all. I am dry all cycle… regular periods but no cm. soo frustrating

I don't think the CBFM checks progesterone at all. I've never used one, but progesterone isn't present until after ovulation and I know the monitors are used for detecting the lead-up to ovulation etc.

Regarding the mucus... 2 points. First is that you may have to insert a finger to check your mucus. Not everyone gets enough that its obvious on the outside or when wiping with toilet paper.
Second... I tried searching doing an advanced search for threads that have 'cervical mucus' in the title and restricted the search to TTC forums...
I did find this one
https://www.babyandbump.com/trying-to-conceive/296465-want-more-cervical-mucus.html
but maybe start a new one?
CM gets discussed a lot in many threads but isn't often addressed on its own!

Thank you Lisaf. Regards CBFM I meant estrogen not progesterone…

My gynae keeps insisting that CM must be visible outside the vagina and not testing with the finger… but I agree with you because not everyone is the same – some have a lot of cm and others have little..

I ll search that thread.

Xxx thanks

Hey girls-

I think I have a bfp!!!- super light, hope it sticks- but just wondering if I should continue taking the vit b complex 50 mg or can i quit it? I just dont want to quit and cause a MC or something? Eeek!

 

[lisaf]

omg nypage!!! Thats so awesome!!!
congrats!!!
I'd keep it up for a few more days, maybe weeks... unless you're having side effects from the vits!
They can help with morning sickness too

 

[nypage1981]

Ok! Thanks! So in a few days or weeks...it cant cause MC for me to quit them?

 

[lisaf]

I don't think it would unless your progesterone levels were really depending on the vits...
but if you want to stop, I'd taper slowely.. cutting the tablets etc.

 

[nypage1981]

How long did you take yours? Is there any harm in continuing it til 2nd tri or is bad to?

 

[lisaf]

I only stopped mine a few weeks ago
Everything I found said it was fine to take... in fact some doctors recommend B vitamins to help with morning sickness.
