Hello,
I have been a lurker on this site for many years. I just joined officially I think in May of this year.
I am 28 years old and trying to conceive my first child. I have been trying off and on for the last 16 months. 5 or 6 of those months I couldnt or didnt try.
I have regular periods of 27 days. Sometimes my periods will be 30 days maybe 2 or 3 times out of the year. Other than that, they are regular like clock work. My periods are usually about 6 days long.
I am starting to get a little frustrated, and starting to think that something is wrong. I took one of those FSH tests that came free with a pack of pregnancy tests last month. It was a First Response test and it came back positive that I had elevated FSH. I have read online of one woman who took the test, the test line was as dark as the control line, then she went to the doctor and her FSH came back normal, under 10. But I have only read one story like that, so I am still pretty scared. I am going to be going to an RE as soon as I do some more research. I like to be very involved and well informed of things that affect me personally. So I have been doing some research here and online about certain things.
I think I am ovulating but not 100% sure. I have regular periods, I see globs (sorry tmi) of the Egg White Cervical Mucous etc, symptoms of progesterone rise that happens after ovulation etc. Until I make it to a RE, I am still going to try to conceive naturally.
My period was on the 30th of August, and I took like 200mg of soy insoflavones from cycle days 2-6. Last month took 120, 140, 160, 160 and 200 from cycle days2-6. It didnt work, so I upped the dosage this cycle. I am also taking folic acid and a b6.
Since my cycle is between 27 days to 30 days (most of the time 27 days), I am guessing I will be fertile from this Friday the 9th until Saturday the 17th. I plan on BD everyday or at least every other day. If anyone has any other tips that may help me conceive, I would be happy to hear them.
So I guess with all that being said, I would love to have a TTC buddy. Anyone?
Thanks so much.
