Warning! Rant! haha 1 year trying and still here.

[MrsMcCurdy]

So this is a rant about it being a year and still not being pregnant and probably feeling sorry for myself.

My mom(who I love to death!!) is pregnant. She's 44. She was actually trying this time but got pregnant with 4 out of 4 of us older kids while ON BCP! So I figured, hey, I should have no problem. Right??? Yeah, not so. I just *don't* ovulate. And then there are the lucky ladies that get pregnant the first month or two. And don't get me wrong, I'm glad they do because then they don't go thru a lot of the stress that some of us ladies that have been trying for a year plus. And it gives me hope that it really could happen ANY month! But seriously it doesn't seem fair... And I know, life isn't fair...
I just wish something in my life was easy right now. But I also know that God is building me up so that I can accomplish what I need to later in life. It's just really hard. aye.... God will give me the strength to carry on.

Anyone else feel like this though?

Hi. I have been ttc for 14 months so I know how you feel. Its not fair and there are times I dont know what to do or think or if it will ever happen.

You said you dont ovulate? Have you seen a dr regarding this?

 

[MrsMcCurdy]

I went for my annual in March and told her that I don't ovulate and had her look at my charts and she agrees but wouldn't do anything until my year of trying was up. But now my year is up and I lost my insurance due to job changes so I can't go. And I've tried natural herbs and such but they haven't changed anything yet. I'm just not sure what to do anymore... I really feel stuck...

 

[Baby.Love12]

I feel you. I have no insurance either so I cant do much. The only straw I have to clutch is that I did conceive last November but lost it in December. Idk what to do either.

 

[MrsMcCurdy]

Good to know I'm not the only one but I'm sorry for your loss and for having to wait so long now... Hope it's gets better for both of us!

It's been almost three years of ttc for me. We lost a baby in Dec 2012 and haven't conceived since. My brother in law and his wife, son and newborn daughter are coming into town to spend the weekend in our home. While he's here, the other brother in law and his pregnant wife will be coming over to visit. Both of them got pregnant on their very first try. The one who is currently pregnant constantly complains about her pregnancy pains and morning sickness and always being hungry- meanwhile, I sit and listen, wishing I could have those "problems" and die a little more inside and cry to myself in the bathroom.

Needless to say, I'm not looking forward to the weekend and feel your pain. I just keep praying that God blesses us with our baby soon... I'm currently seeing a holistic doctor so we'll see what the vitamins can do. He doesn't take insurances so maybe see if there is one where you live?

 

[MrsMcCurdy]

Oh my, I'm so sorry for you rae rae. I sure hope I don't make it to 3 years, I already cry behind closed doors after situations like that... I hope you make it thru the weekend alright! Maybe babies are contagious! Haha (I wish!!)

I just reached the year mark in trying to conceive as well. I have had 2 chemical pregnancies early on and haven't been able to get pregnant again since. :/

I have longer cycles than normal and in the last 12 months I only had 9 cycles and for a couple of those bd was not timed very well (started tracking BBT in March and that has helped for timing immensely). For the last 2 cycles and this current cycle I have been on soy isoflavones which has given me regular, normal length cycles.

So far labs and ovary/uterus ultrasound check out fine for me. DH is going to be getting a semen analysis as soon as I am out of my fertile window. If he gets normal results and I don't get pregnant this cycle or the next we will be going to a specialist and I will get more blood work done to see what is up.

Has anyone been to a obgyn or RE? On fertility meds? Or natural remedies?

 

[MrsMcCurdy]

Thanks knobby. I have tried the more natural side and done a herbal fertility cleanse. Which help make my cycle longer but the cycle after has been horrible. I'm hoping to hear back from my obgyn Monday and hopefully she can help some how. Thought about doing clomid? Might help kick start ovulation.
