*OFFICIAL* 6+ Months TTC Thread

It hasn't quite been the most successful 6 months and it hasn't yet been a year so start posting all your frustrations here! This is an add on from the Official October TTC Forum. Thanks and enjoy!

Had my first miscarriage in December of 2010. We got pregnant in June of 2011, lost the baby in August of 2011, and have been trying on and off ever since. We had another miscarriage in February. We're still not officially TTC. I don't know if I'm ready or not. I'm going through one of my depressed phases, because several of my friends JUST announced their pregnancies. It comes in waves. Some times I'm okay, some times I'm not. My biggest frustration is that some people make it look sooo easy and don't even realize how lucky they are. How are you holding up, mama?

We've been trying for going on 11 months.
I have PCOS and today I went to the dr after no period for 2 months and cramping. My ovaries are swollen and I have an ultrasound Friday to check on the cysts.after we get the results we will start our first round of clomid

I'm doing better, but like you said it comes and goes. I made this group like I said from the previous TTC group but it was so hard to watch some girls come in there and see them get pregnant within the first two months of TTC, and I'm not even exaggerating. ALL of them that have been coming in lately get pregnant so fast! It's hard to talk to a lot of them just because of that. I've grown super attached to some of the girls in there and a few of them don't come in that thread anymore b/c of that, it's hard for them too. It was easier for me to leave that thread and come make this one. I had a bunch of positive feedback in the TTC Thread about making this :] and so I made it

Good Luck to you sweetie. I hope you get positive feedback on your results. :]

Yeah, it seems like a lot of the mamas who had miscarriages around the same time as me are pregnant again. I'm definitely happy for them, though! I'm just trying to stay positive and remember that my time will come. Maybe not as soon as I'd like, but it will happen. The same goes for you. You WILL have another healthy baby!

You're sweet. I haven't used OPK's this month and I'm not temping either. I'm going to pretend that I know nothing about my body and just SEE if I miss my period this month. Last month my period came a week early and I ovulated SUPER late. I just don't know what's going on anymore. We will see what happens.

We got pregnant in September of last year and lost the baby in December. We've been trying since with no luck. I had a 5.6 cm cyst on my right ovary that was removed in August and the doc who removed it said he is "pretty sure" I also have PCOS. All my levels are normal, my periods are on time give or take a day or two, and that cyst was the only one besides a small one that I had. So if all that is normal I don't know if I'd still be considered as having PCOS. I do have trouble losing weight and I do have facial hair (not much but enough to be embarrassing). I recently got put on metformin to help with weight loss and to kick start ovulation if I'm not ovulating on my own. I have no clue if I am or not. I started using OPKS since AF left on the 27th. I should be ovulating around the 7th so I'm hoping to see two nice dark lines on the opk. I have a follow up tomorrow for my ovaries so hopefully I hear they're working properly. I hope the metformin helps because I am so sick and tired of seeing AF every month when we want our rainbow so badly.

Hugs!

I know PCOS can make it difficult to conceive, but does it increase the risk for miscarriages as well?

Thanks  
I'm hoping the cysts are too bad. I also cannot take progesterone so they cannot induce a period for me,so its a waiting game

Good luck to you too

Quoting Squeaky McGee:" Hugs! I know PCOS can make it difficult to conceive, but does it increase the risk for miscarriages as well?"

I don't know if it increases the risks or not but I do know it makes it difficult to get preggo. But the doctor who did my surgery keeps saying he's pretty sure I have it. I hate that because either ur sure or ur not. I don't want to hear pretty sure and then it turns out I'm freaked out over nothing or do have it and think I don't because he didn't give me a sure answer. Thank god for the doctor I see for everything else because it was her who put me on the metformin. My other doc didn't even suggest any meds to help so what kinda smurf is that. I'm just hoping I ovulate now. I had a good bit of EWCM after I finished my period last month. I had a regular period right after the surgery. My periods never went out of wack. Two weeks after that period I had a lot of it. That was the first time I've seen that kind of mucus because my body never did that. I had been drinking a lot more water so that could have been why too. But I guess I will see tomorrow if he still thinks I have it or not.

I see a lot of doctor's say that weight has a lot to do with it, getting pregnant and things like that; I honestly don't see how when I am skinny and I'm going on 9 months. I hate it when they say it. Skinny girls can have a difficult time too. I am also waiting on a rainbow baby

Yea yea they all say that. I am the same weight I was last year when I got pregnant with my angel baby. So I know it's not my weight specifically. And you're right skinny girls have issues too. I hate that when doctors say "oh you need to lose weight if you want to get pregnant". It makes me want to ask them if that's the case then how is it that some women that are over 300 pounds can get pregnant with no problem. I mean dang. Stop with the weight problem and find the damn real one. I think they're just too damn lazy to find out why. Do you and your SO bd every night or every other night? When we got pregnant with our angel baby we were bding every other night and it only took us two months.

I weigh 95 lbs and can't get pregnant atm lol
I think the weight thing is more targeted for overweight women,for health reasons or something like that

YAY!! You did it! Well, most of you know this is my last cycle before I hit the year mark so yep that's where I'm at! Hopefully I can end my ttc journey soon and be able to say I'm pregnant. This month isn't looking to promising though. SO is supposed to be gone when I O :/ I guess we'll just have to see what happens.
