Re: The Official TTC Thread!
NEL - Thank you so much!!! I sent my husband your response and he said he couldn't stop smiling. He's so nervous (as am I) that this won't work out because it's still SO early, so we're both very very cautiously optimistic. For the first few days I wouldn't even say I was pregnant because I just didn't believe it - until I took the digi. No denying the word "pregnant"!
Pancake, Echidna, and Clover - thanks!!!
We're so happy, but so nervous at every little twinge... The tests keep getting darker and darker, and I even went to my doctor yesterday to get a blood test to check HCG levels (haven't gotten results yet) but I still feel like this isn't real or that it will end at any second. I've always been a pretty anxious person in general, and this last week has just made me more anxious! It's almost like I know I am so happy, but I'm afraid to let myself feel all that happiness because it's so early I'm afraid I'll lose it....
Scheduled a dating ultrasound for November 5. According to my LMP I would be 8 weeks, but I know I ovulated a week late so I believe I will be 7 weeks then.
Only symptoms so far are some mild heartburn, lower abdominal cramps and backaches (almost like AF is coming, which is so scary every time I feel it), some insomnia (but maybe that's just me being really nervous about something bad happening), mildly sore BBs, and being hungry ALL. THE. TIME.
I don't really feel pregnant, and I almost wish I had more symptoms so at least I felt like I was pregnant!!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Hi honey22! This thread has been pretty dead lately, but hopefully there will be a few of us in here within the next few months. There's a good chance that I'll be TTC around the same time as you. In the meantime, if you want to chat about any pre-TTC stuff, I tend to pop in here if I see a new post and it looks like a couple other ladies might be hanging out by the pool too...

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
I'm not actively TTC yet either, but a few posters have revived the Wanting but Waiting thread for just this kind of thing! Hopefully, we will all be able to move over to this thread relatively close together. I think we have a Dec, and Feb, and an August for start dates so far- would love to have more!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Popping in to say I stopped birth control (took out my nuvaring) on October 8, had the usual withdraw bleeding than started temping and charting and had a pretty surprisingly great first cycle- 27 days, O'd on day 15. I read so many nightmares about taking forever to ovulate after nuvaring so I was pretty nervous. We didn't conceive first month but we didn't expect to either. Month two I haven't been nearly as good with temping and tracking. I never got a true + OPK from my wondfos and I am at day 16 so I think it is too late and perhaps I missed it or havent ovulated. Idealy a December/January conception would be great but I have some medical issues that might make it harder than the usual 3 or 4 months. If more people join this thread I would love to have some more support around here.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
My motto is that if you're in doubt about whether you're Oing nor not, just BD to cover your bases.
You mention that you have medical problems that might make the process longer than the usual 3 - 4 months. Is it something you can share? Not sure if maybe some ladies have experience with a similar issue.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Hi Diamond Smitten , I’m starting my TTC journey next month. I’m going to hang out here until I get knocked up, so I hope we can go through this together! I’m sorry you think it will take longer than the 3-4 months to conceive, anything you can share? I don’t know much, but I can always listen if you need an ear.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
DiamondSmitten, I have been off NuvaRing for a couple years now, but I had a weird experience when I stopped. Previous to using HBC, my cycles had always been a little longer and slightly irregular. For the first couple months after stopping the ring, I had practically textbook cycles and then had a couple of really really long, crazy cycles where I couldn't tell what the heck was going on. After that, my "normal" longish cycles returned. It was almost like my body had a hangover from the hormones. I think some people are more sensitive to the synthetic hormones than others, so IMO it's not that surprising that you had a somewhat wacky cycle recently even though the first one after the ring seemed normal. Hopefully it resolves in the next cycle!
Hi osu!
AFM...still not actually trying, but we're being "a little reckless" and easing our way into it. We'll see how it goes

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Octavia- Thanks for the info about your cycles off of Nuva Ring- Maybe the first month was a total hormone hangover and just a fluke. Month two is wacky- temps all over the place- though I had shingles which I imagine impacted that. I had "almost" positive wondfo OPK's on CD13 and CD19. Today is CD20 and the wondfo's couldn't be more negative. I wish my body would just get on board with this baby making plan!
As for my medical issues.....
At 20 I found out I was allergic to semen.... More specifically the protein in semen. Its painful and also means my body is attacking it making it less likely that I will conceive naturally. Taking Benedryl before BD-ing helps the pain but can also affect the likelihood of conceiving so that makes it tough. I have also had 5 abnormal paps due to a strain of HPV that won't seem to go away..... so every year that's another biopsy and another scare.
To add to that... about a year ago I started experiencing pain during intercourse, often followed by bleeding. I was test for everything under the sun- twice. My gyn said it was my bladder and had to be interstitial cysitis- Went to a urologist who said it wasn't symptomatic enough of IC and was likely endometriosis- went to a new gyn who said I could try Lupron or she could do a laproscopy to check for growths that could be removed. She also said that if she found growths and removed them that the best chance for conception would be the 6 months following the surgery. My boyfriend and I weren't ready for all of that yet so I put off the surgery and dealt with the pain.
Part of the reason I didn't go with the Lupron is the large amount of side effects. I have a rare auto immune disease called Bechet's. I take a lot of meds to minimize the flares from the disease that is managed by a rheumatologist like lupus or RA and we decided the hormone treatment wasn't right for me. While Behcet's doesn't cause fertility problems on its own, some of the treatments and symtoms can.
Fast forward to September of this year and I was hospitalized due to my illness. It became clear the meds I was on were no longer controlling my Bechet's symptoms and some big decisions need to be made. Before changing to stronger meds which could take months to work my boyfriend and I had a long talk and decided to try for a baby first. After meeting with another GYN who works closely with my rheum they said they were not comfortable subjecting me to the laproscopy unless I had actively been trying to get pregnant for 6 months with no success. Of course they are both hoping as am I that I get pregnant before that 6 month mark and they don't have to do exploratory surgery to a) make sure it is endometriosis causing the pain and b) remove scarring/implants.
It has all been very frustrating and confusing to me. BD-ing is very painful most of the time which makes trying for a baby hard, not to mention the ramifications of that on a relationship. Not knowing FOR SURE that it is endometriosis or how serious it could be is making me a little crazy. Not knowing when or if I will be able to conceive due to everything else is brutal as well. Knowing that I have a supportive partner makes it all a little easier. I KNOW I need to worry less and I KNOW they say stress makes it harder to conceive and I definitely DON"T need to be told to relax etc etc.... I get that enough elsewhere. What I would prefer is a little moral support .... and any other info from people who have been through the TTC process that might help.
For now I am going to try and not worry about this cycle.... hope it ends in a timely fashion and try and enjoy the holiday season before getting back to totally over analyzing this all in the New Year.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Gosh, DiamondSmitten, it sounds like you have an awful lot on your plate. No wonder you're a bit stressed about TTC. I'm glad that you seem to have competent doctors and a supportive partner, though. Regarding the OPKs, are you using them once a day or more often? I know some other ladies have said that they had quick surges and would miss them if they didn't use several OPKs per day when the lines started to get dark. I don't really have any other advice, but I'm sending you lots of PS dust for luck and good health...

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Diamond Smitten, I’m sorry to hear of all of your obstacles, and I can see why it’s so frustrating. It seems like you are well informed and will just have to let this play out over the next few months ::hugs:: I agree with Octavia, if you’re not already using multiple OPKs in one day, that might help narrow down when you O. Given your allergies, it might be best to narrow your window as much as possible.
Octavia, glad to hear you’re being a “little reckless”
What is your current method of birth control if you don’t mind me asking? I have been charting since last year, and we ditched the condoms this summer and have been relying on withdrawal. Either we’re really good at it, or I’m going to be in this thread for awhile.
AFM I had my annual visit today for a check-up and got of bunch of samples for pre-natals. This is so surreal and exciting to think I’m finally going to start TTC next month. I think like some/most people I’m anxious about starting because I wonder if I will have fertility issues. I have no reason to suspect I will, but it still is there in the back of my mind.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Hi guys!
I'm totally dipping my toes in here. My husband and I weren't actively ttc, but I knew that I have pcos so after tracking my cycles, I finally decided to give the metaformin a try after our October wedding. We were going to wait a year to actively ttc.
Well, I wasn't the most diligent about tracking and I saw my temp drop so I assumed that my period was coming, (bloating and little crampy). We didn't use protection and the day after my temps shot up. A couple of days later, I noticed a heightened sense of smell plus heartburn and indegestion. I have never experienced heartburn in my life! i have nausea all the time with metaformin so I'm not sure if its caused by the metaformin or not. Also, tremendously bloated and boobs are huge, much different than AF. I usually blow up for two days right before and 1st day of. And last but not least, constipation (tmi?) but I've heard many women say they are.
Anyway, it's still too soon to tell with a hpt so I'm headed in for a blood test today. My OB is worried about my progesterone levels. I'm really hoping its positive so I'm asking for all the prayers and dust I can get

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Welcome gammygam....sending tons of dust your way! The waiting is so hard! Looks like my almost positive opk might have just meant I missed my spike for a truly positive one. My temps finally started going up an fertility friend gave me crosshairs indicating I most likely ovulated on Tuesday (CD20). I didn't have much hope for his cycle so we only baby danced on Sunday morning and Tuesday night. We missed Monday so I'm assuming we missed this cycle altogether. Now I will just try and put it all out of my mind this month and enjoy the ton of parties and weddings we have through the new year. I have an appt with a perinatologist on January 28. Oddly enough I made that appt October 9th and that was the soonest I could get it. He is supposed to be the best of the best and since I have high risk due to my autoimmune disease my doctors I insisted I see him. If I am not pregnant by then at least I will have almost 4 months of BBT tracking for him to work off of.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Hi gammygam! Welcome to the thread! How did the blood test go, any news? Dust for positive results.
Diamond Smitten I don’t think you’re out yet. I think since you BD on Sunday and ovulated on Tuesday you still have a great chance. A lot of pregnancy books state sperm lives up to 5 days, so all hope isn’t lost! I’ve read over the entire thread, yes all 711 pages, and I think there were a few people who just BD once before O and got knocked up. I hope this is your cycle! When are you testing?
AFM, no news here, just waiting to start CD1

Hi Diamond and osu!
Super dust to the both of you!
Osu does your name stand for Ohio state? I just got married in Toledo in October
I got two super faint positives today on the wondfo, I'm 11 dpo!
I'm just hoping that these aren't false positives! I didn't hear back from the doctor's office today at all so the jury is out on the blood test.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
I sure do see some faint lines there! I would be so anxious to get the blood test back. I am sitting NOT so patiently at CD27, 7DPO waiting for AF or at least 11DPO to test. I feel like with every passing day there is another pregnancy announcement either among my close friends, on facebook or elsewhere. It is not terribly easy to be excited waiting and hoping for my own BFP.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Diamond, I got a blood test done today after these! I made my poor hubby drive to the pharmacy so we could get an ept.
My fingers are super crossed for you. I totally know what you're saying about everyone getting pregnant. I was so ANNOYED on fb a few days ago thinking everyone but me was pregnant!
Are you experiencing any early pregnancy signs yet?

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Sadly I have been using them...two or three times a day CD9 through 20.....no true positive either cycle...but the closest I got to positives were the day before I ended up with the cross line on the fertility friend app with my BBT tracking. Hopefully I've gotten a better idea of y cycle and perhaps the next one is our luck....or perhaps when I get to meet my perinataligist January 28 ill start getting answers of why it isn't happening...either way I'm way bummed this wasn't the Christmas gift I was hoping for

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Ds, I'm so sorry that you have so much stacked against you with ttc! Do you have the ability to see a reproductive specialist? I don't think it's necessary for you to wait. Your lh surge being light, varying lp's, suspected endo, semen allergy - yes, I'd highly recommend getting to an re sooner rather than later. I wish I had done that myself when my gut told me something wasn't quite right. You might not have any trouble at all, but with your allergy it would be really helpful if you had some help to pinpoint ovulation and get the swimmers where they need to be!
Big hugs!

You might not have any trouble at all, but with your allergy it would be really helpful if you had some help to pinpoint ovulation and get the swimmers where they need to be!
Big hugs!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
SO now here I am CD31, 11DPO. No REAL AF yet.... brown creamy discharge/spotting. I have been SO tired all week and I woke up feeling so crappy. Headache I can't get rid of..elevated temp....heartburn.. nausea/ upset stomach all day. Of course I read a million stories of people who had brown spotting and were pregnant. I took one of the Wondfo HPT and it was a BPN. ::sigh:: I am missing my boyfriend's sister's xmas party bc I felt so crappy. The only thing that would redeem this all is a BFP but I have a feeling AF will be here before I know it. Meh- what a miserable weekend!!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Diamond it may not be over yet. I don't want to give you false hope, but how long is your LP usually? Your symptoms do sound promising I hope this is it for you, especially with all of your challenges, it would be great if it worked this fast. If not, we can always be cycle buddies this month.
AFM, CD1. TTC, here I come

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Huge temp drop this morning ... another BFN.... AF is so on her way I just know it... At this point I just want her to come and go as I have a gown for a black tie wedding this upcoming weekend that I can't afford to be bloated for as it JUST zips up. I also just want to move on to cycle 3... meet with the new docs on the 20th and get a real plan in order to make this happen in a reasonable amount of time.
