Hello ladies! I haven't really discussed much on here, but I have read a ton& am grateful for you all sharing so much! I am on my 9/10th cycle of ttc#3...cycle day 10. DH & I have 2 boys, basically 2 tries & 2 kids, & we didn't think this would be so involved this time around. Our boys are 10 & 12 so I guess being 37 years old now presents us with new challenges. Thank you all for being here & sharing your ttc journey! **baby dust**

Babydust I'm so sorry for your loss! You inspire me with how strong you are to try again right away! As far as your dr's recommendation - I say trust your judgment/feelings and no one knows your body better than you do, if you feel ready GO FOR IT!

DBirdie I'm hoping that when DH & I are ready for IVF/ICIS that we will have twins too! They run in my family - my dad has twin brothers, and my dad's mom had twin brothers as well. One and done sounds good to me! Ha!! My DH & I said we would have two children, god willing we can have at least one! How many dpo are you? When will you test?

JustKatSue for you for your this cycle! When will you test again?

MrsEmmett I was diag. w/PCOS in early Feb. 2014. My Dr. put me on a weight loss drug, as that is his first major concern for me conceiving and carrying a baby to term. Although, at last appt on 3/19, DH SA came back with ZERO sperm in it, so he has a blockage and now has an appt w/urologist sched. for 4/2, hoping it's nothing serious! Dr. also said he believes the only way we can conceive now is thru IVF/ICIS. So now we wait for his appt, and I'm going to find another RE for a 2nd opinion. Sucks that I now have to wait, and if we do go forward with IVF/ICIS there is SO MUCH damn paperwork to fill out and we have to get approval from insurance before we can go forward with any procedures - UGH! Royal pain that will be I'm sure. How long have you had PCOS? What symptoms do you have?

Molldoll with your tube test! I hope they are nice and clear!! I hope you don't have PCOS, but if you do, there are so many ways to treat it, depending what symptoms you have. I have the following: 3:1 ratio LH to FSH levels, extra facial hair - little blonde hairs on my chin and sides of face (not enough to wax and hoping it stays that way), I am overweight (but working on it), I have keratosis pilaris (small acne-like/rash bumps on my arms and bum), acne and oily skin (although it seems to be getting a little better with improved diet and lots of water), and I have thinning hair around my scalp. The only symptoms I don't have are irregular cycle and annovulation. My cycles are usually 26-29 days, but the past 2-3 cycles have been very short for me (I'm assuming this is from the change in my diet and exercise).

bahoward and maripari - Congrats on your !!!

Spartie with your follicle check and DH SA results. you get your soon!

runnermom Sorry for your loss. Keep your head up and try to think positive and happy thoughts! I'll keep my for you!!!

Millbarnett Sounds like you have a great chance to get your this cycle!

Crumcake I'm so sorry for your losses! I will keep my you get your this cycle as well. When do you plan to test?

AFM After my appt. on 3/19 that showed my DH had no sperm in his analysis, I'm feeling a little defeated at the moment. I felt that we already had a hard journey in front of us to conceive, and this just makes it that much harder. I feel that having to do IVF/ICIS is going to be stressfull and scary and I just hope and PRAY that I will be lucky enough to get pregnant within the first 1-3 times. I've heard stories of people having to go through many cycles, and I don't know how I would handle that emotionally and/or physically. The process for it is much more intense than I thought it would be. We have to go thru a lot of steps, Sperm retrieval, egg retrieval (I have to give myself shots from CD1 til I ovulate to create extra eggs - and hope that I have at least 12 when they do the retrieval), then they inject my eggs with DH sperm (as long as he has ok sperm when they do finally retrieve it from him), then we wait a couple days for embryos to form, then I go back in and have two embryos implanted in me, and hope that one or both stick...what a process!!!! I'm trying to stay positive and think that this will all just make me appreciate it that much more when we get our little miracle baby, but it just seems so far away. We're thinking the earliest we can do IVF/ICIS is July, because of having to fill out forms with dr's and get approval from insurance, etc. Please keep me and my DH in your thoughts!!

I can't wait to see some for your ladies, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you all and wishing you nothing but health, happiness and lots of babies!!!

Second month with femera and trigger shot. When I went in for my ultrasound on cycle day 11 they told me I had two nice size follies. Did the BD on CD12 and CD14 as instructed. I'm probably on day 10 or 11 DPO. I tested on day 7 or 8 and got a BFN. I Haven't tested sense because I don't want to get my hopes up. This morning right after I ate breakfast I had to run to the bathroom and throw up... so odd. That never ever happens. I'm sure it could probably mean something, but I don't know if women get morning sickness immediately like that? Sitting at work now and I've just felt odd down there for the past few hours. AF is due in two days. I guess I'll keep holding my breath and see if she comes. Wishing everyone lots of

Hello ladies!

I'm just checking into the new forum. I usually say hello and then just lurk to see how everyone is doing. For those who don't know me, I'm 27 & DH is 28 and we have been ttc for 22 months.

We have lost 3 pregnancies, but unfortunately only 1 of those pregnancy losses was documented so my insurance won't pay for the tests that I need. So I'm just holding my breath and hoping that the next bean sticks or if I suffer another loss that it is documented at my doctor in time.

I'm just tired of waiting. One of my closest friends was in her second trimester when we started ttc and now her baby is 18 months old and they are trying for their second. So much for having our children at the same time!

I'm currently on CD 5 and if I conceive, my due date will be December 26 (which would be pretty amazing because my birthday is the 22nd and my mom's is the 24th). Good luck to everyone this cycle and I'll have my fingers crossed for all of you!

GB1020 - I haven't decided when another test will happen. I think I'm tired of seeing the stark white next to the control line.

I feel just as out as I did last week. Just, not a lot happening in my body! A cramp here or there that lasts for just a second and is gone. My boobs have tingled and had shooting pains, and then it's gone.

If AF doesn't come by the week's end, maaaaaaybe I'll find the courage to pee on something. I know the hubs just wants me to relax, and I'm trying!

@lillyhammer
Thanks! gl to you too!
Last month I went through 10 hpts... I think I was getting eye strain from the line searching. I don't think I can handle it this month, so I've made a promise to myself lol However, I do have three test just sitting in my bathroom calling to me already!! I WILL stay strong. haha.

Im out af showed yesterday kinda sad thinki give up ttc but wishes and blessings for yall

Hello all. So CD 17 after miscarriage. No signs of ovulation just yet, tend to between CD 14 and 17 so guessing my body isn't quite back to normal. Quite frustrating really as I don't want to make any plans just incase we miss the important days! Trying to keep going every 2 days at the minute just incase it comes around, I hate the waiting game!
