Why did I suffer through all the side effects of birth control? Migraines, IUD insertion, cramping, spotting daily for 6 months, weight gain, decreased interest in sex, depression? Then paragard- insertion, heavy and painful periods? I could have saved myself so much time and money!</p> <p>I went off my beloved tazorac (acne medication) since it can cause birth defects, and after 8 unsuccessful cycles, all I have is acne, frustration, and lots of money down the tubes.</p> <p>Also: why is EVERYONE pregnant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1287591 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 20:22:17 +0000 fotolori1 1287591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On a lighter note.... I used a "soft cup" today after BD and I have to say..... GROSS! </p> <p>I have taken Plan B too.... I also tried numerous bc pills and the hormones all made me sick or dizzy or something everytime. I wonder now if I have spent useless money preventing as well! </p> <p>@bluestripedbee: do you mind if I ask what tests you have had and if they can explain your difficulty getting oregnant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1287400 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 18:22:14 +0000 Crystal 1287400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I keep trying to remember this too, but it can be so hard when it seems like everyone around you is getting the one thing you are working towards so easily, while you are struggling. </p> <p>@bluestriped bee: I feel the same way. And the small bitter part of me is wondering why I spent so much $$$ on contraceptives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1287376 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 18:06:13 +0000 BSB 1287376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! Yup. I've wondered the same thing.</p> <p>About 5 years ago, before we were married, we had an 'oops' and the condom broke. We were both still in college so I took the Plan B pill. </p> <p>DH told me last year that had we gotten pregnant, we would have a 4 year old (at the time). I know it would have been hard on us but I wonder why we were so cautious. </p> <p>Now, I'm doing everything in my power to get pregnant. We already spend a couple thousand on tests, meds and procedures. Up next, IVF... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1287321 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 17:31:48 +0000 pui 1287321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fotolori1: Thank you. I am Christian and I also believe in God's timing. I do pray that my sister makes it through this alright. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1287251 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 16:54:11 +0000 fotolori1 1287251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im so sorry.... that is a terrible feeling. Im not sure of your beliefs, but I believe that things will happen in Gods time. Maybe she needs this in her life to change something she is doing or to change her in some way. I am certain it will happen for us too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1286415 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 12:08:25 +0000 pui 1286415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fotolori1: I keep saying to my DH that I know I have no reason to envy my sister (she has a lot of problems which I am sure are going to come back and I know my life has a lot of positives in it) but right now it just feels like she has everything I wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1285302 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 20:17:53 +0000 fotolori1 1285302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac @pui: that is SO frustrating. Puts feelings in you that you KNOW are wrong. Jealousy, envy and even feeling angry because you cant have more in your life, like you arent grateful for what you have are all feelings that we shouldnt feel, but it is nearly impossible! We just have to keep in mind that things will work out the way its suppose to even if it seems to make NO sense! </p> <p>I know so many people who have said they never wanted children or who already have more than they coild handle end up being pregnant and it certainly brings out the ugly and makes you question the grand scheme of things! </p> <p>Heads up everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1283635 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:13:05 +0000 pui 1283635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: Tell me about it. My sister who told me she never wanted kids (and that was probably for the best) is pregnant now. :\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1283430 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 08:32:40 +0000 fotolori1 1283430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is SO hard to relax!! TTC is so consuming... it consumes every thought! Very hard to relax after so long and nothing happening. </p> <p>I agree with not temping after O, it is so upsetting to see even a little dip and then if you happen to have that big dip in the middle your hopes are so high for it to have been an implantation dip. It is a viscious cycle and a roller coaster of emotions that I am sure doesnt help with the whole "relax" thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1283113 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 21:38:29 +0000 sarac 1283113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear you. I am beyond irritated/jealous/disbelieving that some people just have sex and come out pregnant. I've been doing that for years and nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1282826 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 18:23:05 +0000 FaithFertility 1282826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear you loud and clear....my favorite part is when people say just relax...even though I know we are dealing with IF issues even after I tell them that they still say ...relax it helps...ummmmm you try to relax when paying over $2,000 per cycle with meds and IUI, shots, time of work, ultrasound, bloodwork and such.......lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1282548 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 13:25:48 +0000 chibee 1282548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit: i highly recommend not temping through the tww once O is confirmed - it's really, truly stressful analyzing every rise and dip of your daily temp. I have a feeling that this cycle is a bust for me and i'm at 13dpo - but not temping has really helped keep my moods at an even keel through the last two weeks. just a thought! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1282434 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 11:40:15 +0000 LindsayInNY 1282434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fotolori1: No, it's just with my normal ob/gyn. When I saw her for my annual in September, she said to come back in Dec/Jan at the one year mark if I'm not pregnant and we could run some tests (I decided to wait until the end of February instead). I know the appointment is booked as a consultation so I don't know what it will entail, if anything. She never checked my progesterone levels but prescribed it for post-O because I was concerned about the couple days of pre-AF spotting I would have. I know some people have had side effects from it but I haven't noticed a thing when I take it. No signs of AF, nothing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1282202 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 00:24:49 +0000 Crystal 1282202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear ya- some days I feel so defeated. And then I get mad I spent so much money on preventative measures!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1282119 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 22:27:44 +0000 mrs. 64 1282119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fotolori1: I hear ya on everything. :(</p> <p>@Littlebit: I had a rough week with announcements as well. I'm thinking about deactivating my facebook, or at the very least using all my willpower to avoid it. It makes me feel like a terrible person that these things upset me so much. You aren't alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1282021 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 20:27:06 +0000 fotolori1 1282021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindsayinny: is your appointment with your RE? About a possible IUI or something? I am having my progesterone levels checked this cycle, so I am sure I will end up on progesterone as well. Does it affect your mood or anything? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1279299 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:25:51 +0000 LindsayInNY 1279299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit: Wouldn't that be nice! I'll take either cycle - one would have a pre-anniversary due date and the other a DH's birthday due date! Not a bad deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1279244 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:11:18 +0000 Littlebit 1279244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: glad to hear you went ahead and booked the appointment. Maybe that will be the magic trigger for your BFP? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1279240 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:10:41 +0000 Littlebit 1279240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear you girl. I'll add to your vent ;)</p> <p>I've had 3 people announce pregnancies on facebook this week. I'll admit I cried. I'm 13dpo today and not even bother testing this cycle because my temps plummeted. I feel so defeated. TTC is turning me into this horrible bitter person. I don't even recognize myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1279230 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:07:07 +0000 fotolori1 1279230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pui: I hate that feeling. Like it is never going to happen. I notice every baby and pregnant woman everywhere and it makes me feel so angry sometimes.... and sad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1279219 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:05:23 +0000 fotolori1 1279219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: my RE said to take it during ovulation twice a day to help thin the cm and make it more sperm friendly. Who would have thought?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1279164 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:50:11 +0000 pui 1279164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely can relate. Currently I am not being poked and prodded, but nothing is happening either. I feel like I have been hearing hold music for months.</p> <p>I had one of those days yesterday where getting pregnant and having a child (nevermind the 4 I wanted) seemed so impossibly far and unobtainable.</p> <p>@chibee: This! Man do I feel stupid about all the times I was worried I was pregnant. What an idiot I was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1279161 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:49:17 +0000 littlek 1279161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what's the mucinex for? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1279154 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:46:53 +0000 LindsayInNY 1279154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fotolori1: I have two more progesterone refills to use and decided to make a doctor's appointment for the end of February. DH will be with me and they scheduled us for a consultation. So we'll see what that brings... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1279124 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:36:43 +0000 fotolori1 1279124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chibee: I can totally relate! </p> <p>@lindsayinny: you have been trying for a long time and I hope things happen for all of us soon! </p> <p>@leialou: so glad! Hope this crazy journey comes to an end soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1279100 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:28:12 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1279100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fotolori1: thank you!

I had no idea 2 years ago it would have been this difficult to get pregnant, and i'm so mad for all the years i've wasted worrying about "pregnancy scares" bc apparently it was unnecessary. I don't even know how much money i've spent on all things ttc related (fertility friend VIP fees, hundreds of OPKs &amp; HPTs, preseed, vitamins, etc etc) and it makes me rage when people get "accidentally" pregnant!!! rant over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vent-session#post-1279055 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:13:51 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1279055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry to hear you're there, its a rough place to be :( </p>
