Welcome to Trying To Conceive #1

[MummyJ05]

Hey, I am new to this! Me and my hubby have a 14 month old son and we have decided we'd like to start trying for our second baby this month! I am going to have my Mirena coil (IUS) removed sometime this week and hope to get pregnant around Christmas time as I did with my first child. Anyone else get pregnant quickly after the removal of the mirena coil (IUS)? Also... is 2 years a good age gap to have between my children? Would appreciate all advice, opinions and other people's experiences! Thanks

 

[wontgiveup]

I think its a great gap, Theyll grow up together and maybe wont fight as much.. Cause i know a big gap can cause problems.. Luckly over the yrs me and my brother have gotn better at it and are closer now.. But growing up, he was the baby! And about the mirena anything is possible but it may take a while to.. Best of luck to you guys

I know that good people who want babies get pregnant, but WHY is it that everyone I know who is near my age who has kids wasn't trying, didn't want them or is a crappy parent????
I never in a million years thought this would happen to me. I just assumed because my mom is crazy fertile I would be. I never even considered male factor infertility. I think there needs to be more education on it and that ALL fertility specialists need to know how to treat it (the fertility dr we saw said they couldn't test or treat men).

So weird. haha. I could have sworn that I replied under the vent thread. Well that's my vent.

 

[wontgiveup]

You said"I know that good people who want babies get pregnant"
UMM Im a good person and i still ant pregnant lol DId you mean to add DONT lol But i will agree that alot of people will have kids who never deserved them. Im sorry to here about the Male factor.. There are some things your doc can suggest to help with his sperm count thats good news. And if your doc wont do anything then i would find a new one. Thats the next step to get my hubby checked. Were both 24 and yeah most of the girls my age are already a mommy..

YAH!! I finally got my cross hairs on FF!! I'm feeling more hopefull today! Still having a lot of cramps and random pains in breast no 'hard' symptoms though....I may test this weekend while my hubby is here, even though FF says not to test till 12th. It does say I am DPO 14 today.

YAAAAAAY! I got mine too but i think my real O date is CD37 not CD36, will wait til tomorrow and then fix it. But look at you from no ovulation to 14dpo and your temps keep going up that's a good sign

woohoo for you getting yours too!

I see you tested today. Stay positive it still might be too early. Your temps look great tho. FX for bfp

I've given up hope now...Should be getting a positives by now if i was. i tested on Sat. am so would of been dpo 15 per FF. I'm going to give my doc a call tomorrow am and see when I can get into to see her. Need to figure out whats going on with my body!

so many of your pre o temps are the same as your post o temps, i think you just recently od

wontgiveup

when do you think i might have od?

Its realy hard to tell but maybe CD38, Its just your pre temp and post temps are pretty much the same, so realy hard to ell if you have even od yet, I hope so and Wishing you the best, Icequeen is right its possibly still early for a BFP

I took out my "positive" OPKs since I had so many and i'm not sure how accurate they were. I only left in the for sure negative ones. I think in a previous post you suggested that i take them out to see what FF says then but it didn't change my O date. I even took out what i recorded as my CM on days 21-24 and it still didn't change the date so it must just be basing my O date on my temps. So according to FF I am DPO 17. Tested this weekend DPO 15 and got BFN.

On DPO 7 and 8 i had bad cramping and sore nipples and DPO 10 I had sharp pains in my ovaries. And I have NEVER in my life had this bad of acne!! These are symptoms I know I didn't imagine in my head! LOL

I really don't know what to think anymore....a part of me thinks the only think that could explain everything would be that I am preg. But then again no other real symptoms and 2 BFN.


SOOO entered my temps is am and now it changed the date to CD33 which makes no sense at all because that is the day that i used CB digital and got no smiley face. And my CM and CP is not fertile that day. I'm assuming FF bases everything off of temps. Which is cycle appears to not be accurate for me.

CD33 is the date i thought you ovulated before you got your first crosshair. Even tho your CP and opk and CM say something else. But if you just look at your temps then this crosshair makes more sense than the one you had before so i agree with FF And that explains your neg. HPT's.
And old corsshair-chart 10DPO sharp pain in the ovaries were probably O pains
Forgot to add that you dont have to get a +opk on your O day. You might get it few days before that.

 

[Mimzy3]

IceQueen that would make sense that the pains were O pains. Well I'm for sure out this month then because my hubby wasn't home then! I guess just wait till AF shows and start over for next month! Lest I am more aware what happens when I O now!

Ahhh that sucks But you know from more positive side at least now you know for sure that you DO ovulate Next month when you start feeling a little bit crampy and get painful nips and acne (estrogen spike) then you know your O is very close. Hopefully next month your hubby will be there on time

 

[Mimzy3]

Yeah I know i'm being unrealistic thinking i'll get a BFP when my hubby is only here a couple days out of the month. But, I'm not going to stop trying! Hopefully by Feb. when he is home for good i'll have my cycles all figured out, and it will be serious baby making time!

You are not unrealistic. Never say never! Just relax and do your thing when ever he is home. Plus february is not far

Hello All,

I'm new here, first ever post!

We have been TTC for 7 years now. Sad I know... uggghhhh so Frustrating!

Anyhow is due tomorrow and she has no signs of showing her ugly face. I've had some preggo symptoms but I keep shrugging it off as it being my imagination. But there is one sign that is loud and clear and so out of the normal for me which is that I have always spotted for several days before she arrives. This month nothing except for a few drops of bright pink blood around the time when the egg would be implanting.

I got excited and took a pregnancy test on Saturday but it was negative which I knew in the back of my mind it would be. Then today because I've seen no signs of I took another one. Big Fat Negative again.

I've decided I won't torture myself anymore until I'm a few days late but wanted to sign in. I was on a site like this before and loved the hope and encouragement I got from it. When you suffer from Infertility you feel so alone in the sea of people CONSTANTLY announcing that they are pregnant with their 5th that OOPS it happened and they weren't even trying etc.. etc...

It's nice to go someplace where you don't feel alone and others can relate

haha no I mean I know that good people get pregnant, but almost everyone I know who is pregnant didn't want the kid or is a bad parent. Meaning that I'm not saying that everyone in the world who has kids are bad people or parents, but there is not a single bad person in the world who can't have kids. All the people who can't or are struggling are exceptionally good people.
