candyttc24 · May 2011

Hello and welcome, Candy. Have you seen your doctor about it yet? Since it has been a year, it might be time to start some testing.

It is tough, eh? Doesn't help when you know a few people who got BFP their first tries (DH has 2 sister who did, one of them twice even!)

Hang in there!

Hmm

You say you've been trying for over a year...in that time you've had accurate timing, know when you are Oing, etc?

It's tough, but so totally worth it!

Hang in there, okay?

I've found so much solace on these boards and it makes working towards that elusive BFP a little less lonely!

Are you charting to make sure you've got good timing and that you're ovulating? And I don't mean marking your last period on a calendar and counting forward 14 days.

I'm coming up on my one year mark as well. Charting my basal temp has been hugely helpful; I've found that I hadn't been timing things perfectly every month, so it is increasing my chances of conceiving.

At one year of trying, you can/should start to consider seeing a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) to test you and your DH for anything that would inhibit conception. (Unless you find by temping that your timing has been totally off--in which case, try with good timing for 6 months first.)

i have been timing my ovulation based on cervical mucus bd as much as often. this month i am doing it differently. my new cycle starts in a few days. i bought opks and a lube called pre seed. i even changed from reg multi to prenatals.

my new gyn wants me to try for 6 more months.

thank u ladies for the support and truck loads of bady dust to all

CM and OPKs don't confirm ovulation, unfortunately. If you really want to have your best shot at conception, you need to know that you're ovulating and when through charting your temps.

Prenatals won't help you get pregnant.

And please, for the love of all that is holy, type like an adult. This isn't text speak. And no throwing baby dust. It makes us sneeze.

This. If I went with CM alone, I would have thought I'd O'd every cycle. But, alas, I have not, since my temps do not remain high (or even go up at all). Temping is a great way to know your body and the only way to confirm O at home. If you temp and have anov cycles, then your OB/GYN will most likely see you way sooner than half a year from now. GL.

i assumed ewcm in the middle of my cycle meant i was ovulating. i only get it around the that time of my cycle. i was fresh of birth control and thought i would of been pregnant by now. i also know prenatals dont get you pregnant but i changed because my gyn thought it was best.

brookelynpaisley

i have no idea why it bothers you with the way i write. i'm sure you understood what u read. please don't insult me i have not said a harsh word to you. i am only here for support and help where i can.

I said it nicely. Write like an adult. This isn't a text message. It's a message board, and if you want us to take the time to answer your questions, please take the time to write us an intelligent-looking post.

You can get fertile CM in your cycle and not ovulate, even mid-cycle when you would think it indicates ovulation. Your OBGYN had you switch to prenatals for the folic acid.

candyttc24 · May 2011

thanks for the advise i will start temping next cycle

Yes OP, no one is trying to hurt your feelings. But honestly, it is frustrating to read a post full of text speak. There's no character limit here, so no need to abbreviate words to their bare minimum of letters. I'm going to echo the PPs and say that charting will probably do a world of good. You could be entirely missing your fertile window and not even know it. Hope you get your BFP soon.

Okay, fine. How would you like me to tell you?

I recognize you're new. I was nice about it. There's no reason to feel attacked.

candyttc24 · May 2011

i am sorry if my writing style offended anyone. its just habit. i honestly didn't think it was a big deal. i will look over my post when i'm in here.

candyttc24 · May 2011

thank you and sorry about that.

candyttc24 · May 2011

i switched gyno a month ago. she suggested i try 6 more months using opks to time ovulation. i will also do temping as some ladies suggested.

Don't feel bad she is rude to practically every new poster

candyttc24 · May 2011

i'm good now. can't let it bother me too much since its an online forum.

Priss28King · May 2011

candyttc24:
thank you and sorry about that.

Don't say sorry!! Anyway, I think you should see your OB/GYN. I also have been trying over a year- saw my doctor and everything came back okay BUT I wasn't charting and I think that's key. GL in your journey and hopefully your stay on this board is short

take care

Confused Wrong. She is not rude to "practically every new poster." Only the trolls who only come around to start drama and deserve it.

candyttc24 · May 2011

please just drop it and lets move on.

i have to say a smile came across my face when i saw a post from piggilywiggily. those posts made me giggle as a lurker. don't worry candyttc24, she wasn't referring to you as a troll.
