Hellobee Boards

@Grace: Yes I think you hit the nail on the head its a fear of getting left behind. We have 2 close friends who are pregnant now and I want my kids to be in the same grade and age as theirs. Will the difference in time matter in a few years, no probably not but it will when they are infants and everything changes so quickly.

@Alivoo01: @spaniellove: @Rachel: What kind of testing will they do? I went and saw my OB in July with just weird period issues but we discussed getting pregnant and she told me to come back in Nov/Dec but that they couldn't really do anything until I'd hit the a year trying mark, which she is calling April and I'm saying Jan.

@sweetooth: Yes that is hard to hear, the other thing that grates me is the its your turn to get pregnant. I would if I could people!

@Alivoo01: Well I hope you get some answers! =)

@Trailmix: I hope you get a BFP soon too! I guess I'm lucky she sent out a text because I had my freakout before I talked to her. My other friend that is pregnant was NTNP and they are now 20 wks I'm glad that happened early on in our TTC journey because now it would be really difficult to handle.

Thank you everyone, you have made me feel so much better. I just needed to know I wasn't crazy for these feelings. I hope everyone gets their BFP soon!

@bluestriped bee: Welcome back!

I made an appt with my nurse midwife for next week so we'll see if we can get any answers. We've been using CBEFM since July 2011 and its only found 'O/peak' 8 out of 16 times. I have one final question, we pulled BC in June 2011 and just tried to avoid/pull out during O time and then stopped avoiding in Jan and started targeting the high/peak dates in April.

When would you say 1 year of trying is? My doctor is saying next April but to me that seems way late, essentially I'd just like some answers and some testing done if it is not going to happen naturally.

@alayaya: That's a lot of BFN to have to look at (I'm in cycle 10 too). Hugs. This might make you more crazy, but have you tried temping or OPK, just to confirm that you are ovulating?

Thanks ladies. It does feel like a long time, even though I've known women who tried for 2 years before finally getting pregnant.

I did opks for a few cycles and I always get positives on cd 14 (which was the same day I was getting lots of ewcm and cramps before I started with the opks), which gives me a LP of 12.

I think temping is not for me just yet. If we're still trying in February then I might give it a try.

To everyone who has an OB who won't do anything until a year of trying, I say - find a new OB! Mine was willing to immediately try me on progesterone to see if a cycle reset made me ovulate. When it didn't, he offered clomid if I wanted it. I did, and now I have a 13 month old.

I'd come off the pill about 3 months before all this. Would I have normalized eventually? Maybe? Probably? My mother had secondary infertility, though, and I wasn't super interested in waiting around to see if I was broken. The obnoxious hassle of clomid was far better, in my mind, then waiting a year just to see if I was really broken or what. If I had it to do again, I'd do it exactly the same way.

If you want to be medically aggressive, there are doctors who will support you. And if not, that's awesome too. I wanted to be, though, and I was thrilled to have a supportive doctor.

I'm officially 6.5 months of trying and on to cycle 8. Don't mind if I join you do you?!

@alayaya: I know the feeling! I was a bawling wreck last night. I'm sorry we all have to go through this...hopefully not for too much longer.

@marionberry: Welcome! I hope you get your BFP soon!

So.....I'm pretty sure we are out this month, which now puts us into next month.

Background info: we got a BFP November 2011, lost our daughter in March 2012, started trying again in June 2012. Sigh.

Had my OB appt yesterday, had an transvaginal sonogram to take a look around and get some measurements. My uterine lining is on the thicker side, but Dr said it could be because AF is due next week or if I'm lucky something will implant. She has drew blood for a variety of tests (e.g. thyroid, progesterone, etc). The results from that won't come back until Monday/Tuesday.

However, during my consultation she mentioned there wasn't a follicle since I'm late into my cycle (CD 28 of 34), but during the sonogram I thought I saw one and the technician took a measurements of it. It looked like a lil glob, plus I thought I saw the technician click on the label "follicle" prior to obtaining measurements. I could be wrong since he was going so fast, but what do you ladies think it was since the Dr said it wasn't?

@Alivoo01: My mom was an ultrasound tech and they can label things but the dr has to confirm so the tech could have been mistaken.
@marionberry: Yes, I also had my appt this week and we are moving forward too. We are doing blood testing (e.g. thyroid, progesterone, etc) and then maybe clomid if I am not ovulating. I left the SA up to DH and he said he wanted to give it one more cycle so by the end of November we should have a very clear picture of what our next steps are or I'll be pregnant ;). This statement is something that would have come out of my mouth, "I'm a do-er, so if I can make it happen, I will! " Good Luck with everything!
@Jennimac: Welcome and I am sorry you are here. I am so sorry to here of your loss, that is heartbreaking. I'm wishing you get your BFP very very soon!

@alivoo01: my DH is a rad tech, he says it could be anything but most likely bowel gas, or fluid in the intestine that cast a signal. He said if the doctor said it's not a follicle, it's not a follicle. He actually runs an imaging center.

@Grace: You're right. It will definitely happen for all of us. We just have to learn to be patient, which if you're like me is really hard to do! I love "charts like mine" on FF. I use it a lot.
@bluestripedbeee: Sorry about the BFN. Join us turkey smugglers!

@Grace: &@marionberry: I suck at patience. I'm realllllllllllyyyyyyyyy trying to work on that now.

@Grace: Just wanted to say that I am one of the randoms....My DH and I were tested for everything under the sun - we were totally healthy but continued to get BFNs..... Then after all of that we pretty much randomly got pg on our own. Granted, we did have chemical pregnancies on Cycles 7 and 8, but the BFP we got on Cycle 9 stuck. I know that's not as long as many others on here, but I was definitely going nuts by Cycle 6. I was not patient in the least. I was losing my sh*t. But eventually we did randomly get knocked up!

@marionberry: thanks for the insight. Now I'm slightly embarassed if it's a gas bubble! haha!
