@HolisticMama:
TTC # 1 x 12+ mo
After not trying, not preventing for 3-6mo prior toDx PCOS x 1 yr. ( normal cycles most of my married life ?????)
OB/GYN x 8 yrs, not seeing RE
33, DH 34 Married almost 10 yrs....
Rct questions from family, friends and coworkers " why did ya'll wait so long " ...answer - we are trying to be responsible
Colmid x 5 cycles
Metformin 1000mg x 12 mo
Mucinex
Opk's
Preseed
Increased folic acid this mo. (Taking q am and prenatal qhs )
Fish oil
B vits
Juicing ( for health and digestion issues caused by clomid )
Temping
Checking CMEvery other cycle I almost knew I was not . Period cramping 1 week before AF --no surprise But still sad.. The last few days have been so different
Spotting started yesterday am, after 3 nights of CRAZY dreams, and the worst breast tenderness I have ever experienced. I took a hpt on CD 26 because I was certain this was my mo. Our attempts may have been affected by the Auburn nat'l championship game -my DH had tickets. Of course we did not know he would be going when I started that mo cycle of clomid about 2 weeks before the game.
So here we are ... Still no AF I want to test again since I still have abn sx ... But I know it will ruin my mood .... Tomorrow will be CD 29, waiting for expected AF
I just want to hear some good news, I feel like my support system does not understand, I'm not jealous of ppl w kids, and I'm not upset "this is not my month" - I'm afraid it may never happen.
I can't control the world, DH travels and we both work a lot- it may just be timing
Btw my name is Lindsey - I'm new, read a lot -but never posted. thanks for the advice
-
@McNugget: welcome! I hope that your bfp comes soon
-
@McNugget: :: hugs :: You certainly aren't alone here and will have lots of support. I hope that you can start joining us on threads more often.
And you're not out...until your out.
And then you get another beginning.

@CatchAFallingStar: Oh. I don't know. I went to grab my ovarian assessment report from September, but it doesn't say. -_-
I'm going to go on naively thinking that everything month is going to be "the one."Actually...I think in March I am going to go and get another blood draw to see what's up. And we can make a better decision from there.

Trying for LO#:1
Decade (Age: 20s/30s/ect): turning 30 this year (eek)
Cycle #:1
CD: 14
How long is your usual cycle? Anywhere from 28-35 days. Been off BC since August. However, I suspect at least one of the long cycles was the result of super late Oing when our pup got super sick and had emergency surgery. Thankfully he is fine:-), but it was a stressful 6 weeks!
Conception Tools (OPKs, ect.): BBT (although my thermometer seems super inaccurate), CM checks, FF, Ovia, OPKs (although jury is out on whether I'll keep up with these).
Fertility Aids/Medications: Pre-natals...I suck at taking vitamins, so the fact that I've taken these suckers daily since CD1 is a victory so far:-).
Do you track 2WW symptoms?: hoping to HAVE a TWW for the first time. We gotta get cracking over the next few days!Anything notable about your TTC journey thus far? Hubs is finally on board, although I've been ready for a year or two:-). Now that I finally have the green light it's exciting, but I've been wanting this for so long it's hard to believe it's only Cycle 1 and will likely take ages:-/. Thanks to all for being here to calm my crazy!
-
@LovelyPlum:
Thank you so much!!!! I never wanted to be in this game, none of us did - but it's nice to know we are all here for each other!!!
-
@McNugget: hang in there-hoping AF doesn't show up for a good reason!!!
-
@HolisticMama:
I hate to feel OCD and I'm glad to find you all to help work out my feelings before I have to go to work, ect. You have helped ease my anxiety about this part of my journey!!!

Trying for LO#: 2
How long did you try for previous LOs? a year and a halfDecade (Age: 20s/30s/ect): 30's
Cycle #: 1- pp
CD: 5
How long is your usual cycle? 28
Conception Tools (OPKs, ect.): Nothing yet- will start temping next cycle
Fertility Aids/Medications: Need clomid and ovidrel for LO#1 and was seeing an RE- not sure of how long we should try before going back to the RE (since we already know something is wrong)
Do you track 2WW symptoms?: NopeAnything notable about your TTC journey thus far? Not really sure how to proceed- going to call my GYN next week to see if we should be seeing the RE to start- or should we try awhile then go see him- anyone have an experience with this?
-
Did anyone send DH for testing??? We have discussed but I would rather not. I still think the real problem is timing.
-
@McNugget: did you get a bfn or bfp this month? I just ask as I was interested when you said you felt different this month.
Trying for LO#: 1
How long did you try for previous LOs? N/a
Decade (Age: 20s/30s/ect): 20's, 28 to be exact.
Cycle #: 8
CD: 28
How long is your usual cycle? 33 days, feels like forever, that extra 5 days compared the the average 28.
Conception Tools (OPKs, ect.): opk and cm tracking, if bfn again then I'm starting bbt this month.
Fertility aids: prenatal vitamins and trying to be sexy when I just want to sit in my dressing gown.
Do you track 2WW symptoms?: Everything is a symptom in TWW to me. I google the weirdest things in that two weeks.
Anything notable about your TTC journey thus far? Not really, it's starting to wear thin now, 5 more months before see a doctor seems a long way away. Getting pretty sick of BD but we will power through I'm sure!
-
@Mrs tartan:
BFN early am and AF mid day.
And yes everything is a sx during the TWW -I'm with you my google history is hilariousI usually have phantom cramps x4-5 d before AF. This time no cramps and very sore boobs ( like tenderness associated w cycle but 10x worse )
I went to GYN at 5 mo of TTC -tracking and BDing every other day between cd 10 and 20
He already knew I had cysts on my ovaries from an ultrasound 2 yrs prior due to pain .....and suspected PCOS once I told him how long we have been TTC ... Blood work confirmed it. ..he Rx'd clomid
So if you feel like something is not clicking I would go on in for tests and advice.. It might lift your spirits to hear a professional say what you are going thru is normal, If they say "keep it up "at least you won't feel like your efforts were a lost cause

Trying for LO#: 1
Decade (Age: 20s/30s/ect): Mid-20s
Cycle #: 4
CD: 2
How long is your usual cycle? Average is 28 days
Conception Tools (OPKs, ect.): Previously digital OPKs and monitoring CM. Moving on to fertility monitor this month!
Fertility Aids/Medications: prenatal vitamins, preseed, green tea (yum), tried mucinex & it did not work.
Do you track 2WW symptoms?: Hells to the yeah.
Anything notable about your TTC journey thus far? I feel like Cycle 3 was our first month of good timing. Hoping the fertility monitor gives us more months of good timing!
-
@McNugget: DH and I actually got tested before TTC, because apparently I'm a little nuts. We discovered that his count was low and he had poor morphology. I'm not sure how much it changes things, really. We want to try naturally for a year.
And then you get another beginning.
