Welcome to Trying To Conceive #1

[Tattoo]

Hi first timers! I'm back at BnB after an absence of a few months. Still trying, into our eighth month now.

Hi everyone

Well we've been TTC for about 2 years and no luck. My specialist says that my pregesterone levels are too low so I dont release an egg. I'm on clomid but so far my bloods have come back with levels of 15,12 and then 8 (day 21 tests). My levels should be 30

I feel angry at the world and so alone. I feel like no one can understand how I feel. My friends all tell me 'don't stress' and 'it will happen when it's time'. I know they are just trying to help but I get annoyed. They all have kids or a pregnant- how could they possibly understand how this feels

It's good to find a forum where people are going through similar experiences. Reading your posts makes me realize that I'm not alone in this :')

I'll try to stay positive and keep posting everyone.

Usagi - I agree, it's very comforting to communicate to others who are going through the same thing. You've found a great forum for just that. Fx'd for you and truly hope you see your bfp sooner than later!

Hi there
I am new to this forum and am thrilled to have found it.
some of my info - hubbie and I are trying for our 1st little one.
We have been married for 3 years and have been trying for 23 months.
I am now on Clomid (100mgs) for a 3 month cycle after a 3 month stint on 50mg didn't do the trick (i was ovulating but not 'enough').

I find it so frustrating each month that AF arrives...but I try not to get too down and generally my spirits are high! I would be lost without my hubbie though...he has been phenomenal throughout this long journey and knows when to make me laugh or when i just need a good old cry

Going through the NHS can also be very frustrating as things can take so long and you never see the same consultant twice. But my spirits were lifted at my last appointment and I was given a proper treatment plan (as above) followed by a referral to a subfertility clinic if 100mgs doesn't do the trick.

I look forward to reading and replying to posts on here and will offer as much support as i can to you all over the future months.
thanks and look forward to chatting soon!

Hello everyone, I have been ttc for years even after dh was found with zero sperm count. As everyone would always say it will happen when you don't but never did. I finally had the guts to ask a friend and we are on first try. I'm currently 2 dpo and hoping to be lucky on first try. We did in home insemination on Friday. And was day before prediction date. Had ewcn on day of insemination so might been right on time. I feel the timing was perfect but the 2ww is excruciating. Baby dust to all

Hey everyone!

I went to the fertility show at Olympia last saturday and got voucher for £25 off the DuoFertility monitor! Thought you may want to use it to get £25 discount: D7OFR3L307

pass it on to those who are trying to conceive

Hey, I've just joined this forum, and just thought i'd post to introduce myself.
I'm 28 (almost 29) and hubby has just turned 31. We've been together for just over 11 years, and married just over 1 year. I'm getting a bit fed up now, it's only been 6 months since we first started TTC, but in that time, 14 of our friends have fallen pregnant, and 3 of those were accidents!! What doesn't help is because we've been together so long people 'expect' us to be trying, and if one more person says to me...when are you going to have a baby? I swear I will slap them!!!
OH and me have desperately wanted a LO for a long time....pretty much about 6 months into our relationship!! But with both of us being annoyingly practical, we decided to wait, and I guess because we did 'the right thing' I thought i'd fall straight away
My family history isn't great as far as TTC is concerned, my mum took 4 years to fall for my older sister, and my sister took almost 7 years before admitting there was a problem and being put onto clomid.
We've already decided that we'll give it the full 12 months and if still no BFP, we'll seek medical advice.
I've found it comforting to read about so many people who are in the same boat as me.
Sending you all (and me) lots of babydust!

Hello all I am a newbie as well! Me and my OH have been NTNP for a while now ( give or take 3yrs) I did have a chemical in June 09, but nothing since. I am now 30 and OH is 33 and we are now actively TTC! I do have a fairly regular cycle 29-30 days. I am now on CD 11 and from past experiences I think I OV on CD17?? But I am currently using OPKs and tracking BBT w/FF to pinpoint OV. This cycle we are doing the SMEP, using preseed & softcups, I am also taking PNV ,Fertility Blend, and Mucinex. I am hoping for a "easter egg" and to get a :BFP: in time for mothers day!

wishing you all

Hi All!

I am happy to find a thread that seems to be active, I was pointed here from the "Lesbian couples TTC" site.

My Wife and I have been TTC for almost a year. We have been together for a total of 14 years and married for 1.

We are using the home method and after reading alot of the success stories today, will probably start the instead cups. I have been reading since about 9am and it seems to be more success in couples to use the cups. We have tried the clinic method with an anonymous donor but the cost of the failed attempts weighs heavy. So we are using a known donor (again) and will inbetween (if we haven't with him) use the bank sperm to the home (finances into play as well). Quick questions, where did you get the Preseed from?

We are wondering if there are any tips? As well, where you all have been successful finding appropriate donors? We live in MD and besides the Tadpole site which is based in the UK, we can only find the spermbank sites. Any Suggestions???

Quick questions, where did you get the Preseed from?

try this thread, it's great ! :
I'm in there a lot as that's what I'm doing...
Also, I'll be using the softcups (instead cups) but probably not preseed

Hi everyone! I'm a newbie here but so happy to see that there are people to talk to about TTC because I think I may be driving my poor DH a bit crazy with all the babt chat

We have been married for almost a year (in May) and have decided to start trying in a "relaxed" way (I'm not charting or anything yet). I have quite a long cycle (34-36 days) and am on CD26. I really hope AF doesnt appear but waiting is really driving me up the wall! I think I may have missed my OV this month but have BD quite a bit so FXd.
Does anyone else have a long cycle like mine? If so have any of you had irregular OV? I think I might have OVd really early this month because I had spotting and cramping for two days on CD12 and 13. I'm really confused about all of this! Any help would be really appreciated. x

Hi everyone,
Im so glad i found this place! Im ttc my 1st as well.
Not going to be easy, DP had his vasectomy reversed at the beginning of April, after 11 years, but im hopeful.....
We'll know after his SA test in july if it worked, but i thought we'd get started with the trying before the results.

Good luck ladies.....
