Hello Ladies,

For being so absent even though I was not messaging I was following you all closely.

Congrats to all the and to those still in the TWW be brave. To the others FX next month.

I came to the conclusion that I did not ovulated this month, there was just too many patches of EWCM and my BBT was so erradic I stopped taking it. Also the witch never showed which means I have to take provera for her to show her ugly face.

TwwtooLong-

Well ladies, 12Dpo and BFN this morning...My lower back is killing me. Which is normal around this time. AF due Tuesday.

Good Luck to everyone!

Myfamily1st- good luck! I hope you get a bfp! Fx!

Morning All - How is going my1stfamily? Hopefully - you are getting a bfp and not af!

I am headed to the doctors today to see what he has to say about whether we need to get fertility testing. I am not going to lie- I am a little nervous. I'll keep you all posted when I get back.

Hi All,
Me again. So just got back from the doctors office. I have to go get blood testing done and an ultrasound next week. We'll have to wait and see what the results are. If there is anything that comes back, then he wants DH and I to go see a specialist.

It's odd, I knew this would likely be his response given that it's been so long, but seeing "infertility" and the reason written on the ultrasound requisition, made it all so real and a little scary. Any words of encouragement would be greatly apprecaited!

Let's hope that it all comes back ok and maybe it's just not been long enough of trying with my B12 being ok.

Hope all is going well with you out there!

twwtoolong-I could only imagine how scary that might be for you because I think the same thing about myself, so I know how you feel. I really do hope it's not the "I" word (meaning infertility"). The doctor just probably wrote that giving the type of exam the might need to perform on you. My fingers are crossed for you that everything comes back good and you don't have to worry about that. Good Luck hunny! We're all here for you. I know its easier said than done, but try not to over think it too much.

myfamily1st-Your not out until the red witch shows up. Your still in the running and I have high hopes for you!

Lalou3tt3-Im sorry that this is happening to you. I know must be really frustrating and stressful as well. If you do need to vent we are here to listen. I hope the next cycle will be easier for you.

Kresslove-How are things going?

How are things going for the rest of you ladies?

So Ladies,

I'm here at work not feeling too well and I know that it has nothing to do with me being pregnant at all. I stopped using my opk's this cycle because I don't really feel like DH is as concerned as I am. So I think I just gave up on this cycle. I guess maybe next cycle when AF shows her face then maybe it will make him have just a slight change of heart. If not, I don't really know what I'm going to do. Unless, this could be our cycle that the one time that we did BD we could have caught it, but who knows. I'm just saddened and heartbroken.

twwtoolong - I hope that it's not infertility and just "not the right time." Don't lose hope hun, YOU have to believe that you can and will conceive, NATURALLY. I've been in your position. We all know how you feel. Sometimes you just need reassurance, and we're here for support.

HopefullyAMommy - FX that this is your cycle! The cycle that you don't use OPK's and just have fun with it! Not that I hope you're sick, BUT, I hope you're feeling a little off for a GOOD reason. When is AF due for you?

Is anyone testing this week?

AFM - (CD 6) AF is now over. My libido post-af is out of this world! Its usually higher now than it is during O. I have decided I am ONLY going to temp this cycle. I will not go off of suspected O days, and just bd when we have the urge. I'm not going to symptom spot (this is a work in progress) nor test early (also a work in progress.) lol. HOPEFULLY I get too consumed with holiday cheer.

to all!!!

Thank you for the support ladies - I am getting my blood tests done on Friday and ultrasound is booked for next monday night.

I really hope that everything looks ok. The Dr. said the next step would be to see a fertility specialist. I talked to DH about the tests, etc when he got home from work and he's been super supportitve. I will go and get these tests done and if nothing comes back then in the new year, he will come with me to the specialist to get checked out as well. Although it's a little scary to no longer have the option to live in denial, I feel super fortunate that I have access to testing (the testing is at least covered under our public health insurance here in Canada). I'll keep you all posted on the journey - I really do appreciate the support.

@HopefullyAMommy - Big hug lady, that is really frustrating that you feel that you and DH are not on the same page. I know I would find that super annoying. Have you talked about your concerns at all with concieving and how you are feeling about it? I really hope the one time was enough to get your sticky bean!!!

@ Lalou3tt3 - Hang in there lady. I am just started down this path of potentially having fertility issues and I am already super nervous for what the future holds and in a weird struggle with my body for not doing what it should be doing. I really hope you have a successful next cycle!

@KressLove - I think that sounds like an awesome plan- have fun listening to your libido! I think I am going to ditch the opk's this month too and just temp. I have been pretty consistent with ovulating on day 15 of my cycle, so we will just bd from cd 10 onwards until my temps come up.

Good luck ladies, I hope we all get our timing just right this month!

Hi twwtoolong,

I really appreciate you updating us on how your doctor's visit went. I imagine it can be scary and you probably wish you didn't have to go at all, but there are two outcomes of pursuing this route:

1.) All your tests could come back fine. Then you just keep doing what you're doing :)

2.) Or, they do identify a problem. This would be scary, but you'd also be one step closer to fixing whatever the problem is.

Either way, you will have answers. Personally, I really hate the "not knowing" part of TTC. We've been trying for 7-8 months and I don't know if everything is okay with us or not. If something is wrong, I'd rather get it figured out sooner rather than later so I can start addressing whatever the problem is. But, I know my doctor won't run tests until we've been trying for a year.

Best of luck to you and please keep us updated.
