Who wants to get Sept BFP's!! After trying for a few months.
Hi Everyone!
I am trying to muster up any confidence I have left at this point and feeling very discouraged do to our situation. In comparison to some ladies I know I am not as bad but still feeling down from last month and the prior 6 months total as well. Me and my husband have been trying since beg March this year and we are both healthy and young enough to start a family but no luck yet. I have connected with some ladies and it seems everyone of them has gotten a BFP on their first try or so and I would like to hear from those of you who are in my position where you are still trying and its just taking longer. I am looking for some support and stories about your journey so far and what you think of timing and any other methods you have been following. I'm interested to hear your thoughts now that we've all been at it for a while. What do you beleive in and what are you not going to try anymore?
For us, we tried for about 2 months the normal way just with me taking prenatals and not really understanding the timing of the O day and OPK's or anything like that. After that I researched about those things and figured out what timing was better than others and started using OPK's just to pin point my days, however, I have always been on a solid schedule of 26 day cycles and I know when AF comes each month so I'm not sure how much that has really helped me honestly. I also logged my BBT for a month and it felt more stressful than I think it should and it didn't help me really so I stopped that too. Now that we have passed the 6 month mark, I am scheduled to go to the fertility doctor and see what they can tell me or test for incase there is a bigger problem going on. I feel we have timed everything right for at least 3 or 4 months now and nothing ever changes. I even had my DH do a home test that came out positive for being at least at a normal sperm count.
So, what are your thoughts? What's your story? How long have you been TTC and what are going to do from this point on different?
I can't wait to hear from you! I need to know I'm not alone in this!

Well, I would like to update all of you ladies! A week ago I was already feeling O pressure and waiting on my positive OPK,.... still waiting with the same pressure.i had an OPK yesterday which made me think today was going to big the one,... But it was not so i am a little confused today to say the least.
Today is also the day my DH and I go to the feritility specialist for our first appointment!!!! I am hopeful that we can get a plan rolling soon!

BGGirl~ hey lady!! I wish we were on vacation!! So, yeah, no TTW yet? Idk what is going on? I should have ovulated by now but have not! I have taken several different OPK's that vary day by day. Yesterday i had a faint line which made me think that I would be a def positive today, but it is even lighter. I didnt miss it b/c i have been testing daily for a week not to mention my temps havent gone up yet. I quit taking the B-6. 2 days ago b/c i think it was working against me( and my doc told me to). I have been feeling alot of O pressure for the last week but getting a bit stronger now so i am praying that i ave a BIG egg!!
I am going to see what the doc says today and see if he can do an ultrasoynd yet to determine my egg size? Fingers crossed!!!
Have a wonderful day and enjoy the rest of your vacation!

Hi ladies! I'm here too! Sorry I haven't been on much. Work is crazy as I am an accountant and the beginning of the month is super busy with closing the books. :) ha ha anyway, everything is still good with me. We got to see our little bean the other day at the dr office after a scare I had with some cramping but it's all good! I was only 5 wks & 4 days preggo according to their calculaton of LMP without measuring or testing anything so I'm not sure. The baby was like nonexistent because all you could see was the placenta, the sak, and a very tiny faint white blog right up against the lining of the placenta so my DH just said all there was was a hole that's it. HA! It will be diff in a couple weeks when we go back on the 15th!
MrsMullen - Its really wierd that you haven't ovulated yet this cycle. I forget if you were on the same cycle as us or not before. What CD is it for you? If you see a big drop in your temp that also means that its almost O time because the moment it spikes you ovulate that day pretty much. I could never really feel that I was ovulating except some cramping every once in a few months right before. Hopefully the fertility clinic can run some tests today for you to see if you are ovulating and how many eggs you have in your ovaries for your age etc. Let us know what they say!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!! All good news and !
BGGirl soo jealous of your vaca right now but are you still counting every day on how far along you are? I am and it is taking forever it seems!!! OMG this waiting game sucks for sure. Its like TTW times 6 or something. ugh. How have you been feeling?
Any other ladies out there???

Hey girls! Finally got back home from vacation! How is everyone??
It was so hard being on vacation and not telling anyone! I really wanted to wait until the first doctors' appointment before saying anything. We ended up telling my brother in law and sister in law because we went out with them one night and I was having several virgin daquiris-(no one but me and DH knew they were virgin) I was the sober one to drive but they were all worried about me driving. So DH ended up telling them I hadn't had any alcohol all night and of course they thought that was strange so he told them. :). It also sucked being so tired all the time- I went to bed around 10 almost every night!
So where is everyone else on their TWW??
