FRIDAY TTC POST

Hi girls. Busy week, so I promise to update the list next week. Welcome to our new posters! And to our regulars, baby dust, baby dust!!! Come on bfp. So, how are you guys doing this week?? Shari

Well hello fellow ttc'ers...

AF visited this week..., but I'm not dwelling....I'm planning on stepping up my efforts this month!

Saw my Ob and the bypass dr and we discussed future plans...sending me for an ultrasound of my ovaries to make sure no cysts...oh and a visit to the nutritionist to help get my vit d and protein bc im a lil low! All things to prepare for the bfp!!!!

Oh I'm going to use an Opk this cycle...and I'm temping too..come on bfp!!!!July is a nice month for a baby, right?

Best of luck everyone!!!! Courtney

Back in the 2WW! I'm not even sure if I ovulated this cycle! Either way, I'll be testing if AF doesn't arrive by Nov 5th. Unless I get impatient a few days before that..... Good luck and baby dust to everyone trying!

DH and I are starting fertility treatment this upcoming Friday, October 29th. 2 days shy of our 1 year wedding anniversary. I am hopeful. I must admit, I am very exhausted/tired/annoyed with trying and I have stopped thinking about it happening. We're going into 6 months of actively trying, however I have only gotten AF twice since we started (second time I got AF was only because I was prescribed Provera, and now I am late again). I can't monitor anything without knowing my cycle, so the RE is going to help figure out what is going on with me.

I don't want to let this control my life anymore. 6 months of stressing with OPK's and monitoring CM and BD'ing on certain days, it's entirely too stressful for me and my DH is beginning to realize it too.

I'll keep you posted on the appointment on Friday. Thanks. :)

my dr. gave me the ok to start trying last month. So this is our 2nd month TTC. I really haven't tried anything except we "try" during my fertile window, or rather what my iphone app tells me is my fertile window. I know, I'm so percise lol. Anyway I have an appointment with an OBGYN Nov. 9th and i hope to get on the right track once I see her. My history is this; when I was young (19yo) I got pregnant the very first time I ever had sex (yup think of the luck). I miscarried at about 6 weeks or so and it was aweful. After I got married we tried for about 2 years to conceive. I was convinced I couldn't get pregnant because of my weight and so I had WLS. I didn't have surgery simply because of my infertility I had a whole list of co-morb that were just adding up each day and I could see what my future was going to be and I didn't like it much. I had surgery and the weight has seemed to just melt away. All of my co-morb gone and I feel great. So now we are ttc again and hoping for a different outcome. Last month I "knew" I was pregnant. I mean because obviously we had sex when we were "supposed" to, right? So when I got my period I was depressed as all get out. This month it is different. I am suppose to get my period this Fri-Sat. Last month I was so convinced it wasn't coming and literally cried when it did. So this month I know it will be coming again, but hopefully i won't be as sad since i haven't psyched myself out this time. I have hopes that once I see the OB she will run some tests and put me on some meds, but who knows since we haven't been trying for over 6 months this time. I am 30, so that along with my previous miscarriage might have some influence on something. Anyway that's my story. If any of you, who have been doing this a lot longer than i have, have any suggestions on things I should try I would love to hear it. I have heard others talk about preseed, what is it and is it helpful? My periods are regular and I assume I ovulate but should I get one of those tests to make sure? Ok thanks in advance for your help, and good luck to everyone else trying!

I'm sure that your being 30 has absolutely nothing to do with it. Lots of women in their 30s and even early 40s can conceive healthy children.

I had WLS for many reasons, but also because I always had irregular periods. Like, I would sometimes go up to 6 months without having one. So I was convinced that I would never be able to have a baby unless I got my weight under control and regulated my cycles.

When hubby and I decided to start trying, I went and bought one of those 20-day ovulation prediction kits. Even though my cycles were "more normal," they still ranged from 29-42 days... so I had NO idea when the heck I ovulated. The OPKs definitely took the guesswork out of that! I used them, along with making note of when my cervical mucus got slippery like eggwhites... and lo and behold, I got a + one day. So, we did the deed and 5 weeks later, I found out I was pregnant.
