Trouble TTC

32, PCOS & TTC- Stressed & Depressed

Hi, new to the group. HD & I have been TTC since Nov '12. I know that's not a very long time, but I have not had a positive ovulation test since early Dec. I'm on day 15 of my 3rd cycle since that date, still nothing for this cycle. I'm worried that my stress about this is just making things worse. I'm not sure what to do. I'm starting to worry that I'm depressed, I can't look at a baby with out breaking down. Everyone I know seems to be getting pregnant & they're not even trying. Planning on talking to my Dr in April at my next visit about this & possibly starting meds. Does anyone have any tips for dealing with the stress of it all?

Re: 32, PCOS & TTC- Stressed & Depressed

  • If you are feeling that depressed after 4 months of TTC I would highly recommend finding somebody to talk to.

     

    Also, this is most likely not the board for you as most women here have been TTC for 12+ months.  I am sure there will be a lot of great support (and others feeling the same way) for you on the TTC board.

     

    Good luck! 

    Me: 30, DH: 40 
    TTC since January 2012HSG & Bloodwork: Normal, SA: NormalDx: Unexplained Infertility 50mg Clomid + TI = BFN (three cycles)
    50mg Clomid + trigger + IUI = BFP (one cycle)
    Beta #1 (12dpo) = 49  Beta #2 (14dpo)= 149

  • Thank you. I wasn't sure & the board description seemed like maybe this was where I should start since I have a known problem.

    Many women with PCOS still get pregnant unassisted.  It sounds like you are having regular cycles which is good.  You may have missed your LH surge with your OPKs.  Try testing twice a day if you aren't already.  I know it's tough to see people getting pregnant after 2 or 3 months but many healthy people take much longer to get pregant.  Fertility meds are nasty and potentially dangerous drugs and you don't want to be on them if you don't have to be.  Post on the TTC board and you will find many other women in your same position and hopefully they will help you feel better.  GL!
