Hi all!

Still no af for me. I'm on cd 53. I took another hpt and that was negative. So disappointing. I email my doctors office asking them what my next step should be. They still recommend ivf for me but also to continue to bd 3times a week (which makes no sense to me being that no period means no ovulation means no BABY!!). The email also said that i must wait to not have a period for 2 months before contacting their office.

I haven't had a period for 7 days now so i got 7 weeks to go!!

How is everyone else doing!? , hopefully better than me!

Norl,
I am sorry about your difficulties! Maybe IVF is the answer? How do you feel about going the IVF route? I am sure it is expensive and difficult emotionally and physically. But it would probably be worth it if it will get you that BFP!

How is everyone else doing? Where are we at in our cycles?

I am on day 2 of the and still waiting for the appointment on Halloween to find out about DH's results. for good news!

Hi Jazzy
Well if ivf is what i have to do.. Then i will do it. But i really want to have a natural pregnancy. I never would have thought that it would boil down to that.
It is expensive! I got my insurance renewal in the mail the other day..i was checking it to see if it covered infertility. And it doesn't. Hubby and i discussed it and right now of course we can't afford it but also its just not something we intended. We believe in our hearts of hearts that we can make it happen. So we shall see.

Yeah....can't wait to her what the results will reveal on wed.
Keep us posted!!

Hello ladies!
Jazzy, how was your appt. yesterday? Any news?

Nfinest- I hope it does happen for you naturally. I looked into ivf just to see what the future might hold and it is SO expensive.

I am about 1-2 dpo right now. I'm waiting for ff to confirm with bbt. It is my cycle day 23. I hate ovulating so late. It sucks. We got good timing though (like other times!!) so time will tell.

Hi ladies!

Got DH's results. I posted them in my journal if you are interested in the details, but the short version is that DH has a varicocele. His count and motility are normal, but he has poor morphology 1%. We have surgical options and we could also try IUI or *gulp* IVF... We are being referred to a urologist and a fertility specialist. We will have to weigh the options and make a decision. in the mean time, we will keep trying for a natural , even though it is unlikely.

Sounds like all of your cycles are coming along nicely. Fingers crossed for you!

I am going to try Mucinex this cycle. What are you ladies doing?

Hi ladies!

Gosh its awfully quiet on this board! Hope everyone haven't lost hope!
How is everyone doing?!

As for me- my menstrual haven't come still! So I'm on CD 64 ....crazy..i know. I've contacted my doctor office and they wanted me to fax my prolactin level that was drawn in Oct. My prolactin level is 1.4 which is pretty low.
I'm concerned about the possibility of maybe all my levels being low. Idk.
I'm waiting on a call back from the office after the doc review my chart.
So i am waiting and hoping.

@ Jazzy- sorry about the news. Have you schedule the appt with the referrals? Its so unfortunate that all the work that you want to put in to having this baby and nothing will come from it. But i say...don't lose hope. Anything is possible. Keep me posted

Hello everyone, I am brand new to this site and have just learned how to post!
My name is Amy my husband and I have been ttc for 5 months. I l, like others on here, am a bit of a freak about knowing my cycle and all it entails. I haven't been using bc for over 5 years and I have a normal cycle every month. The tww for me is a killer! I try not to think about it but honestly I can't stop thinking about it. I have found myself getting frustrated with the lack of bfp results.
I am 13 dpo and have cramping dark spotting and tender bbs, assuming this is the start of af :( bfn yesterday.
Good luck to the rest of you! We'll be trying again in two weeks
.

nfinest I may have accidentaly hit report on your post, smart phones click in the wrong spot sometimes... sorry...

Welcome Wallace!

AFM,
I just O'd yesterday and I think I timed BD well. DH had a second semen analysis and his morph was slightly higher at 2%. Unfortunately, that is still very low, so we are going ahead with the referrals. Getting a BFP on our own is not likely... BUT not impossible either! So I am trying to stay positive. If we have to, we will do the surgery and if no BFP, we will try IUI and IVF. That is the plan for now!

Enough about me though! Where is everyone else at? How is everyone doing?

Hi Ladies!!!

I am in my 4th cycle of ttc #1,and i also thought that i would get pregnant soon!!! and i keep thinking that maybe something is wrong with me, and it stresses me out a bit...but i'm trying to stay positive!

i am currently on CD 28 and 12 dpo ( i think)...i didnt do any opks this month, i had ewcm around the time i thought i was gonna ovulate. I havent had alot of symptoms, but today i was very crampy, and i had watery clear white cm ,sorry if tmi ,but im a bit confused because this is the first time its happend a few das before Af...and i dont know what it means?

to everyone!!!

Hi!!!

So af finally arrived after a 68 cd. My last af was sept 5!! That's a long time to wait for her to come. I didn't know what to think. I am so relieved that it finally came....now i can start ttc again. I'm just puzzled with the fact of what happened that af didn't show when it was supposed to!? Did i not ovulate? I don't knowwatt to think.

Jazzy- sorry to hear that his morphology result is low. You said surgery is What your planning on doing...What type of surgery do you need to do? I see your in the ivf boat with me..ugh!! I'm still going to try and do the natural thing.

Welcome to all the newbies!! Wishing you a bfp!!
