The Wannabe Mamas!

View Full Post

I am starting this thread for a group of ladies that already frequently communicate through journals and PMs. Since we already stalk one another's journals and countdown pages... I thought it might be nice for us to have a discussion forum, where we can frequently communicate our day to day ups and downs. Please re-introduce yourself and give us a summary of your journey to date!

My story:
DH and I have been TTC #1 since June 2012. In October, we found out that DH has a varicocele causing poor morphology (1-2%). This makes it difficult for us to conceive on our own. We are on some looong wait lists to see specialists. We need to see a urologist about possible surgery and a fertility specialist about possible IUI or IVF. Right now we are loking at 8-10 month wait times, but we might be able to get DH into a urologist much sooner if we can get into a clinic in the next province over. We are currently working toward making that happen! The surgery has about 50/50 odds of working. But we are hoping it works for us!

ladies I'm terrified!! Just found out that the area I live has such bad air quality it is actually causing miscarriages and premature deliveries.... and now with this possible positive I am having my lower backache and did have some pink tinged cm so i'm scared that this one isn't going to stick not sure what to do ...... any natural things I can do to up progesterone before I can talk to the dr tomorrow?

How scary about the air quality!!! But Sweet potatoes have a lot of progesterone, drink whole milk, progesterone cream at the store, turkey and you can try walnuts. Have you taken another test yet? You can take vitamin b6 too which discourages miscarriage. Keep us updated!!!

Hi ladies,

Hope you don't mind if I still pop in to chat. It is kind of lonely on the other side and I miss you ladies.

Britt and According on the BFPs! And to Melissa on the panties! I am convinced that there is a little bit of luck that goes out to the ladies on this forum. Given time, you will all get there, I know it!

Awe Michelle...this seems to be a crazy cycle for you. I hate those! What brand of OPKs are you using? You should try mine....the ones I get off eBay. If I had a bunch left, I'd just send them to you for free, but I think I only have about 4 left in my bundle. I won't be needing them for awhile. Do you need the link to the OPKs that I buy? I swear by them! They're cheap too!

Jazzy....there you are! Yes, I know it's pretty different over there, unless you get involved in a forum. I think I did for a bit, and saw some activity there...but nothing like it is over here. You're always welcome here.....as you read back through the last few pages, we talk about a variety of stuff....not just TTC....which is nice! You started this forum, so don't ever feel like you can't stay with us!

Life on BC pills is very different. I love the no bleeding factor....but I dont feel like the old me in the sense of BDing and such. I am enjoying the break from BBTing...and saving my pee until I get home for my OPKs! I'm torn....would be 22 weeks pregnant today.....and I could be TTC....but, eh......I'm really trying to save some money....and figure out what is going on with my joints. I'd like to see my results too from my echocardiogram next month. Have to be as healthy as I can be.

We are happy as we are for now. :)

I set up an account on the other site just to see what it was like. I agree it seems pretty quiet compared to this site. We all gibber jabber here lol I agree with Melissa Jazzy please don't feel like you have to stay away or keep your distance. None of us mind having your chatter on here too :) It's been a long journey to get where you are and no reason not hang around just beause you're having a little one :) I can't speak for everyoe but I've come to terms it will be a hard and very much longer journey for my bfp. Sure I have my bad days but I'll make it through :)

Melissa I know I haven't had such a screwed up cycle in a long time :( Maybe it's because I've started my metformin full strength again??? I just don't know. Last time I started the met I o'd in three weeks. This week will be my third week on full strength met so hopefully I will O sometime this week. If not then I'll just have to wait it out or just wait until my next doc appointment in May and hope for the best :)

Oh yeah I use a brand from amazon babi one. I like them they worked last time and they are cheap. I still have about 25 in my bundle. I'll need more this month so maybe I'll give yours a try. I paid 20$ (i think) for 50 opks and 20 hpt. I'll have to check out your link :)

For 50 OPK and 20 HPT it is 14.00 total from eBay!

Enter the item number: 130840913355

in eBay's search box. It is by the seller UShealthtests and it is a "choose your own combo" sale. Decide the # of both OPK and HPTs....free, fast shipping! Go go go!! Order!!
