That last sentence should have read "We need the encouragement"..There is something to be said for proof reading before you post!

 

dea - November 16

Hi again to Cendy, Amy, Audrey, Sherry , Ericka, CC and all others! AUDREY- I feel your frustration... With my DH it's his challenge (Sperm) so it can be hard because I try to encourage him but then he gets "lazy". Doesn't like the appointments, wants that beer or ice tea...sometimes I wish it were my body that needed adjustments so that I could "control" the outside factors a little bit more. I won't even get into the discussions that happen during the TWW. This month he has finally admitted that he gets very disappointed every month and doesn't want to get his hopes up that the IUI worked this month. But, we have started talking about how we would break the news to the family. All this time I was thinking that it was just me who was obsessing. Now I know he does too! So you never know ladies!!! The DH's could be consuming their thoughts with babies too... Mine has actually taken a vested interest in Discovery Health "Baby Labor/Delivery" stories. But sometimes he treats it like a lecture (trying to learn/absorb all the terminology) We have some great discussions about what we would want/not want. So that does help pass some of the TWW. Our newest ongoing debate is if I would be able to give birth w/o drugs... because I complained about the HSG and IUI being uncomfortable. But I am so stubborn I would do it just to prove him wrong!! (As long as the baby is OK that is...) Happy BDing and TWW all!

CC- I definately agree...Someone get that BFP this month!!! Hey- I know, I'll take one for the team and volunteer!! HA! HA! :o)

 

Audrey - November 16

Thanks Amy. I really appreciated your response. It is just that trying to conceive can be so stressful! I live for the day when I get a BFP.... and it sticks. I had an early miscarriage back in July, and it nearly broke my heart.

 

CC - November 16

Dea, your last post made me laugh! How about I take one for the team and get a BFP as well!!

 

brenda - November 16

Hi, girls. Is it too late to join in? I've been reading your stories and my heart goes out to you. I've been trying for 3 years. I just had a laparoscopy in October, so hopefully that's helped. I have endo and PCOS. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow so I'm hoping to find out some more info. I'll be praying for all of you. Psalms 113:9 says we shall be a happy mother of children. Hold on to that promise!!

 

dea - November 16

OK CC, I'm with you-- hear that everyone?? CC and I are sacrificing are bbs, waist line and sleeping through the night so this thread can get a BFP this month. Anyone else?? Thanks for the laughter.. :o)

DEA- trying to get hubby into ttc sex is like pulling teeth! i get "i'm tired", "i'm not feeling well", or he passes out on me, watching tv, and then the night is shot, and let's face it, we only got a small window as it is, so we can't help but try alittle bit harder then normal to get the goods. when he has a couple drinks, which is soooo rare, i most likely get some, but i can hardly ever get him to drink. i try lingerie everything, i can to get that sperm, lol, but the pressure gets to them. try some sexy panties. that's how i get my best shot, and if your guy can have a beer or two, without getting lazy and passing out on you, maybe that could get him more frisky that way? but that works different with every man, i guess. some men could get more lazy i suppose. i better spike dh's soda next month, lol. that is so sad to have to say, i know. i just need him to get up and goin if you know what i mean. you would think they'd be all over us. i mean since when do women have to beg men for sex? i know it's on a schedule, and it's alittle harder to think about fun that way, but it certainly isn't impossible. i mean the sex still feels good for them right? oh well, let hope this month/ next month, whatever cd's we are all on now, our hubby's will be nice and juiced up for us!

***baby dust to all***

Ericka - November 16

Hi all. Welcome to the new ladies. I started spotting today, so I guess I'm out of the running for this month. Af won't officially arrive for another couple of days. Dea, I know what you mean about getting DH in the mood. Mine is already to go the first couple of days, but after that it's like pulling teeth. Molly, I'm with you girl. I feel like everyone around me is prego without even trying, and here I am 1 year later, temping, charting, checking cm, opk's and scheduling bd'ing and nothing. Af shows up every month. Every month I tell myself, ok, next cycle it will happen. Hope you ladies have a great evening. Cendy, af show up yet? We might be on the same cycle again since I’m about to start af. CC, has the witch left you and now you are waiting to o? How are you feeling about not being on the clomid? Talk to you all soon. Baby Dust.

 

Cendy - November 17

Greetings and baby wishes to all! What a wonderful surprise it was to see that we have 12 TTC Circle of Friends! I know I am going to have to keep a close eye on this thread to keep up with everyone. Well, it is CD 30 and no AF. I know I am not pregnant this month so hurry up and show your ugly head Aunt Flow! I guess being off the Clomid this month has not shortened my cycle. I thought for sure my 33-34 day cycles would shorten. Amy I thought my cycles was long and yours are normally 35-38. I will keep my pie hole shut from now on and be happy with the cycle I have. Ericka, sorry about your BFN, but it is still early. Do not give up so easily. The spotting could be IB. I am not taking you out of the race just yet. CC, I know your frustrations with your DH. You have heard me complain a million times about my husband telling me he feels like a workhorse when it comes to BDing. I plan not to tell mine a thing about my O this month and attack him when he least expects it. One way or another he will give in. Sherry, my heart aches for the loss of your son. I cannot imagine what it must have been like to watch you child go through so much. My father died a year ago of Pancreatic cancer and it was the hardest thing I have ever had go through. Has your AF showed? I know you said it was due in a couple of days. You will be in my thoughts and prayers this holiday season. Acklyn, good luck to you on you IUI next month. I have faith just one will do the trick for you. Keep us posted on the date so that we can say prayers and be thinking of you. Dea, I laughed so hard when you said that you had “super tubes”. 4.6 billion Sperm is not a very good number…what is then? It only takes one and you would think that many would be enough. Vanaseregwen, thanks for being such a strong woman. You are a TTC role model for all us woman thinking of giving up. 14 IUIs, meds and everything else you did to bring have your daughter is unheard of. Many women would have given up, but you persevered and you received the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. My hat goes off to you. You are an inspiration! Audrey, your husband wanting to do the “natural way” of TTC is okay for some, but not for others. I know he must be frustrated just like you are. I know my DH gets sad when I tell him my AF came. He wants a baby just as much as I do, but he does get into moods some months where he thinks we should just let God do his job and us stop butting in on his work. I feel we need to help in the matter sometimes though. Brenda, three years is a long time. I know this month is we will have so many BFPs we will have a hard time keeping up with them all. Then we will have to have another support forum. Would not it be so wonderful to finally go from TTC to BFP? Molly, I know what you mean about your cousin being pregnant without a job to support it and not knowing who the father is. It does not seem fair that the people who want children so badly have such a hard time getting one and other people get them when they do not even want them or are able to take care of them. I get jealous of those people, but I know my day will come when it is right for me. Hayley, I can understand being on Clomid for so long. I was on it for 6 cycles and took a break this month. Well had to take a break. I would have taken it if the infection had not happened. How long will your doctor allow you to be on it? I think mine wants me to take breaks, but I just keep on going. Lashunda, where are you? How are you and baby? I think I have addressed everyone. If I left someone out or misspelled your name, I am sorry. I was wondering if any of you had progesterone, thyroid or other issues. I have Graves’s disease and had my thyroid removed a couple of years ago so I am on Synthroid. I have very low progesterone levels so I have to be on supplements as soon as I find out I am pregnant or I will MC. My first pregnancy ended in MC. I found out I was pregnant on the weekend and lost the baby that Friday. It was horrible. I had just enough time to get used to the idea of being a mom when I lost it. It was devastating. Well, I am guess you know by now that I am a talker and I ramble a lot. Please try to overlook that. I look forward to sharing this incredible journey with all of you. Without this site, I think I would blow up like Violet did and have to be sent to the squeezing room by the Oompa-Loompas! BABY DUST WISHES to all!

Cendy You mentioned suplaments, what are the supplaments that you take? I mc in June and have been on clomid and I started feeling pg last month for a week then the feelings started to go away and then the heavy flow with clots so I think it happened again. I am on levoxyl for thyroid problems as well and also have low progesterone any help would be appreciated! Thanks

 

sherry - November 17

MOLLY-- iam sorry for your miscarriage at 14 weeks, that is quite far in, iam sure that was devestating! i only had early losses, so i can imagine how much harder that was for you. i pray that NOTHING close to that, ever happens again, and i admire your strength and courage to move forward! you deserve your bfp this month! iam rooting for you!

ERIKA- sorry for the spotting, but perhaps it's implantation bleeding? that is what iam hoping for.

i could get af at any time now, since my cycle is like 29-32 days, and iam on day 29 now. iam sure iam not preggo, but will be plenty happy if we get one BFP per month on this new thread! my best to all!
