re: TTC for over a year

I finally bought my husband some fertility blend for men. I'm gonna test one more month with the opks to see if my left ovary is producing like it should. I got the strong positive this cycle with my right ovary being my dominant one so I want to see if my left one is also producing. My doctor said my ovaries are clear so we shall see. If I don't get the positive then I'm gonna go ahead and get the fertility blend for women to go along with my husband's one. I hope this helps. Also gonna pick up some preseed on Friday.

can i join?

I'm sorry to hear about all of your losses. Me and my husband have had one and I know how much that one hurt. I was 16w. We've been trying since January for another with no luck. I know it hasn't been as long as you but it still sucks. I hope you get success soon. Me on the other hand amd just like doing whatever. I got my husband the blend and I'm testing this cycle once more with the opks to see if I ovulate again. I hope I do cuz before I would go like 2 or three cycles and not ovulate 1 of those. I used to ovulate on my own. I may do like 3 or 4 cycles with the opks to see if I continuously ovulate each cycle. I think my body is still messed up even though it'll be a year on the 29th since my loss. I guess my body just took a while to get back right. So if you don't do the IVF what else do you think you can do to possibly have a successful pregnancy? I hope no matter which way you do it you have a happy healthy pregnancy and baby in the end. GL hun and lots of baby dust to you.

Yes it was the 29th of Dec last year. So we were pretty much in the same boat at the same time. I actually had him at 11:17pm on the 29th. So it was almost the 30th. I can still remember every second of that night. It was a horrible night. I can almost still feel the physical pain and the turmoil of what was lying ahead of me. The doc said I may have to help push him out. Thank God I didn't he just came out since he was so small. I kept prayin and praying for God to make it happen quickly. I'm on my period right now. Started yesterday and right on time which I'm glad to see. I hope it stays this way now. Maybe by not stressing and all I will continue to ovulate like normal. I hope the SlimQuick I started taking don't mess with my cycle. I wanted to lose a bit of weight and it says it helps with metabolism, hormones, and stress and stuff. I sure hope so. It a diet supplement. Now I'm just pretty much saying oh well it'll happen when it happens. God will send me my rainbow when he's ready and not a moment sooner. It's crazy because before we got preggo for DJ I prayed to God one night to plz send us a sign that we can get pregnant and sure enough I got preggo next cycle. It's too bad I lost him.

how far along were you?

i remember pushing with Zoey and its really traumatic cause you know its the end.

i'm thinking torn between taking break and doing strict diet or trying with more meds if not preggo this cycle. either going crazy with line eyes or had faint shaodw line on hpts last 2 days

I was 16 weeks with DJ. I'm glad I didn't have to push though. I dilated real easy that everything just came out at one time. Af should be done by tonight so here's to another cycle of "not" trying. My left ovary is giving me issues today so I'm hoping it's not another cyst. I just had twinges like this last time I had one on my right ovary. But I hope those shadows become a BFP for you. GL!

Hopefully it isn't a cyst. Seems shadows are nothing, took opk to see if lh up and its barely got a line so thinking I'm out since should start af next few days if did o early

My vitex arrived about an hour ago!! I just took my first capsule and I am soo excited. On another note, I have had mild cramping and increased discharge, up until recently I had NO discharge, EVER since I gave birth, so this makes me think something might finally be happening. My son is not nursing for 6hrs at night, it's been two-three weeks now, so I am hoping my body is finally responding, if not, then my vitex should do the job! I will be taking 800mg a day and I have 50 days worth. I hope I see results within that time frame!!  
Here is hoping for my first PPAF!!  

Hello ladies! Ok so I have a question about ovulation. I don;t have OPKs so I have to rely on body signals. May be VERY TMI, so sorry for the prudes...
For three days now I have had whitish, watery, but slimy, odorless discharge, the first day it was moderate, the second day it was pretty heavy, and yesterday is seemed to decrease again. Hubby and I BD'd last night and during the deed I was very wet, usually when I am finished I start to dry up, but last night I felt very receptive throughout the entire thing, which is very rare for me since giving birth last time. Also, something felt tender every time DH would thrust, I am assuming it was my cervix, it wasn't painful or anything, just felt very sensitive down there, which again since I gave birth 22 months ago I have not felt that. Does this sound at all like ovulation? After we were done I felt crampy and tender in my pelvic region as well. I have actually had mild cramping for the past several days coinciding with the discharge. IDK what to make of all this, actually. With my other two kids, I would just use OPKs after my periods and once they were positive I would do the deed and withint 10-12 days had a BFP. So this time actually TTCing is a learning process for me.

Sounds like ovulation to me. I feel the same way when I'm ovulating. Since this past cycle I had some very good O pains and a dark positive opk we did the deed that night and I felt differently while he was thrusting too. So yea sounds like it to me. I use opks since I've had a history of not having positive opks and since my surgery I went wack after taking metformin for a month. I think my body is back to normal thank God. But hopefully since ya'll did the deed you get another BFP. I'm trying to convince my husband to take fertility blend for men but for some reason the bottle suddenly disappeared. I think he feels if he takes it that he has something wrong with him. I just want his swimmers to be extra swimmy and alive. It wouldn't hurt anything plus he has symptoms of low testosterone and/or sperm count. I will be getting him checked in February if we are not preggo by then. So he got two months to get me pregnant or it's to the doctor he goes!

haha take charge!! Darn men can be so macho and proud sometimes! I hope he cooperates with you!  
And I really hoped I O'd even if we don't catch the egg this month at least my cycles will finally start and I will know when to time BD and hopefully get the BFP within the next few months.

That's true. At least ovulation will help your cycles start. Even though I miscarried a year ago my cycles have been out of wack since. Some months I ovulate others I don't. It's been crazy. But hopefully you don't have to wait long for your BFP. Next month will make a year we've been going at it and "not trying but not preventing".
