Welcome to Trying To Conceive #1

[JennM]

Hello All! I just wanted to share my little journey so far. I have endometriosis and very irregular periods so my OB/GYN right off the bat placed me on clomid. I tried Clomid for 3 months with no O! Then he placed me on Femara 2.5 mg for 2 months. One month I O'd & the next I did not. So this is now my 3rd month on Femara but now on 5 mg. I did O this month and did the BD every other day before my positive opk.

Keep me in your thoughts ladies! You are all in mine!

Hi all, Im so new to this, and I have so many questions!! First a little detail about me, I am 29, and I got married earlier this year. Myself and my hubby are trying to concieve and I have been off the pill (yasmin) for a month now. I am on period No.3 since I came off the pill! Has anyone else experienced this after coming off the pill?

Hello!! Something like this happened to me too. I was on the pill for awhile and then I stopped. I had AF for almost a month. Dont know if that occurs often after stopping bc.

Hi girls, I've been TTC my first baby from the past 6 months with no success!!! the Dr put me on clomid this moth, 50mg morning and 50mg at night from days 5-9... I have been using opk and got my 1st positive on cd16, I'm now on cd22, I have been feeling cramps, and nausea, I think it is part of clomid's side effect! My temp is higher than normal, 87.75, usually is 87.85 after o, I'm confused cuz its my first clomid round, but I feel wired, any of you have similar experience??? Could clomid work on first try? .. I had sex all 5 days before +opk and the days after too.. I'm confused, my mind is playing dirty on me may be psicological effects??? Any comments???

Hi! I am new on here and I have no idea what some of these letters are..lol! I just got married in May and we have been trying ever since. We are almost 30 and we want one now. I am a little worried this will take awhile. I want to try Clomid if we aren't preggo within 6 months

 

[JennM]

lagabix01 - That is totally normal for Clomid. I had cramping, nausea, and headaches with it. I actually have fewer symptoms with Femara but still no luck conceiving.

Hi everyone. New to this thread.

I am 26 and my OH is 30. We have been trying for 5/6 months but no BFP yet. Depressing.
Not sure at what point to go to the doctors as from my understanding they wouldn't look at me until we have been TTC for 1 year

Hello I'm also new to this and I've been TTC for over two years now. Everytime I go to the doctor they say everything looks healthy down there but my weight needs to come down. What doctor doesnt say that? I've been working on that part but at this moment I'm confused on all of this. My last period was July 31st 2012 and my cycle is every 28-30 days. Well I didn't start my period for this month so I was about 18 days late on AF. I took a pregnancy test on Sept. 4th and it showed up negative. Thinking that I might be pregnant I started taking precautionary measures like staying hydrated, taking prenatals, eating healthier, etc....I finally started my AF on Sept. 15th(18 days later than I should). I've noticed though that it's more watery than thick and clumpy. I still have the horrible cramps and all, but what could be causing the wateriness? Anyone have any insight on this. I'am going to a free women's clinic tomorrow after work to try and come up with some answers. If anyone knows anything any info will help!!

Hello all! It's nice to meet you. I am very excited to join this forum. It seems like it has a lot of wonderful women posting here.

About me: I'm 30 and my DH is 33. We've been TTC #1 for about 3-4 months. Currently I am using OPK and keeping my hopes up A summer birth would be awesome scheduling when it comes to our academic careers. Any birth would be pretty awesome too, though

Hello Everyone!!! Am very new here

So - I have just been having such a down day today. My story - I married in April to my lovely man. We met later in life - both our first marriages and we are now trying for a family. I am 41 and my hubby is 46.

So my blood tests reveal that my progesterone is low - 23 and 24 - so the DR doesn't know if I am ovulating so I am being referred to a specialist. But I am still waiting for a date and it's so depressing waiting for an appointment to come through.

My husbands first sperm sample has revealed today a low sperm count He has to give another one but that result won't be back then for about 6 weeks as the appointment isn't for another month.

I just feel so lost....Time is against us at our age and yet everything is so slow with the NHS. What do I do?? Do I start looking at fertility clinics??? I don't think we can any funding at our age and I just know that we don't have years to wait.

I feel so helpless and I don't know what to do Thoughts please.

Hi pixie. I am 26 and my boyfriend is 30. We have been trying for 6 months and nothing. My cousin took 2 months and my sister got pregnant accidentally. I have got obsessed with it am wish I hadn't. I used ovulation kits but stopped that as it took the fun out of it but every twinge or pain Etc I end up on google looking into it. So, basically you are not alone x

Hi Pixie I feel your pain! all my friends got pregnant easily and accidently as well, and for us its been 9 months...still trying. Have you thought about purchasing a fertile monitor? they are expensive but tell you your peak fertile days! i am waiting anxiously to use mine as you have to wait for day 1 of your cycle to start. im currently day 6 so lots of waiting to use it!
