The who's who of LTTTC

[heyyJude82]

Hi all,
I'm on cycle 18 of TTC. Started casually with the 'let's just do it & see' attitude for 1st year. Then march this year after over one year of trying I went to doctors and was referred on for my 21 day blood tests. I only had to call up for results and they came up as 'normal' that's all I was told. Not sure if I should've queried that more?
Anyways we started using CBFM in April and are now on month 3 with that and also double checking it with digital OV sticks. I've had peaks & smiley faces on Day 16/17 each month so with a normally 28 or 29 day cycle that means my Luteal Phase is quite short at around 9-10 days.
Husband is in for blood tests and Sperm tests tomorrow. So I guess we are just in limbo until we get those results.
I'm 6dpo today with AF due Sunday at 10dpo I'm not hopeful this month, even though we BD before & on peak & smiley face days.
Wishing truck loads of babydust to all....x j

Hey Scotch, can you add me on please?


I'm nearly 33 married to OH who is same age. We've been married for 3 years. TTC for 2 years after taking pill for entire adult life! Have just had a little break though because I was cracking up!! My bloods came back normal. OH's first SA came back with dodgy motility and morphology. We're waiting for second SA before being referred. Should be referred by end of the summer.

Thanks xxxx

Hey Scotch can you add me on please?

Well Im 28 & DH is 27. We have been married a yr this sunday. We have been ttc since july 2011 which is when i came off the pill Yasmin. However I am suffering from irregular cycles ranging from 24 days to a whopping 80. Iv had bloods and a scan done and hubby had an SA everything came back normal so fertility specialist has put me on Clonid (50 mg for 3 cycles to start) & if that doesnt work hes going to do a hsg on my tubes then up me to 100mg. Provided im not lucky enuff to get a bfp this weekend il b starting my first round of clomid xxx

[longingforabump]

Can I please be added?

Longingforabump - we have been ttc since September 2009 with no luck until June 2010 when I was diagnosed a miscarriage at 6 weeks but persistent chest pain and bleeding lead me to hospital on 10th sept for a scan to reveal it was a ruptured ectopic and I was 13 weeks pregnant, baby was live and I received a scan of my little button nosed bean before sadly removing baby and what was left of my left tube. Fell pregnant straight away and miscarried nov 2009 at 6 weeks. Had odd pain since 3 weeks after miscarriage and finally had laparoscopy in march 2012 after nagging constantly and being told to 'put up with it'. Laparoscopy revealed white and black endometriosis and severe at that. I find out I had endo before but they had failed to tell me after my ectopic op and it was never noted in medical records. Chronic pain and fatigue started again in April 2012 and been told endo is back with a vengeance and I am likely to loose my right tube to it so we are running against the clock! Had bloods taken almost 2 weeks ago and finally been referred to fertility clinic and currently awaiting appointment.



Thanks

Hi Scotch,
Can I update my details.

TTC baby number 2 since Aug 2010. Fell PG first month of trying but sadly ended in MMC at 12 wks.
Further 10 mths of trying fell PG again - sadly ended in MMC again at 9 wks.
Trying again for a further 9 mths now.
38 and fastly approaching 39 now - so panic stations!
Have son who has just turned 3. He was conceived first month of trying.

[ScotchEgg]

I agree. It's such a lovely feeling putting someone into moving on

Sorry scotch my miscarriage was in nov 2010 (speedy typing error on my part!)

I've had my blood test results back and they showed nothing abnormal so just awaiting fertility clinic appointment, it's been about a month now I've been waiting

We're having to take a break in ttc as I can't take June/July off work. I've been referred for counselling but a.) it's on a weekday morning (do they not realise I work?!) and b.) not sure how helpful it will be and don't really want it on my record :/
