I know it's late but...

I can't sleep, and just need to vent this out.

I just started posting over here, I actually just posted an intro a few days ago and since then (in my wait for my first RE appointment) I have found a lot of comfort in you 3T girls, even though I am still learning much about IF. I do still post on my first real reg. board : TTCAL, however I find there to be days when I just cannot take the intensity of looking at their charts, showing many of them (not everyone) have 26-35 day-ish cycles with an obvious O. I'm just pissed at not Oing at all. I usually suck it up, and say, "stop being selfish" and give support over there gladly, however - today, and I hope this doesn't end up coming back to bite me, but a girl who had her miscarriage and joined mc/pl at the same time as I did, posted her BFP. I'm happy for her yes, but I'm also bummed for me. I've barely had a chance to try.

IF sucks. Real bad. As we all know. I still have 8 days until my first RE appointment, and I'm just dying to find out what is really going on & what we can do about fixing it. Can someone share some positives for me, I'm feeling down. Anything! Even just listing happy things will be great for me when I wake up and re-check this post Thanks.

I haven't started my treatment yet but I've had my share of up's and down's. My first RE appt was back in May and we are finally to a place where we have a plan (had to do some additional testing). I know it doesn't sound like much, but it really was at least a little bit of relief just to know you and your doctor have a plan and you are taking a step in the right direction. Just hang in there, and your appt will be here before you know it (I know it's easy said than done)!

So sorry you're feeling that way, but so understandable too. Here is a quote that I read when I'm feeling down.

"Your journey has molded you for your greater good, and it was exactly what it needed to be. Don't think that you've lost time. It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the now. And now is right on time." - Asha Tyson

Sorry to hear your feeling so down, I hope things turn around for you soon, and your RE can come up with a plan!

Just wanted to let you know, I do not O on my own either. After 5 months of temping and charting and OPKs, I had not a single sign that I O'd at all! And only 2 AFs. I started seeing the RE in November we waited another month to see if I would have a "normal" cycle and when that didn't happen, we moved on to testing and then treatment. The good news is, I have O'd 4 times, all 4 medicated cycles with my RE! So it can happen, and they can help, you're doing the right thing! Hang in there!

ETA: I see you're from Buffalo, so hello from a fellow Buffalonian! I am sure you are probably going to the same RE that I currently go to. Feel free to private message me with any questions or just to chat!

I'm sorry hun! I started out on TTCAL back in September, and while it was a great support at the time, I feel like my "issues" have changed. I've dealt with the miscarriage and now IF is really what I'm dealing with-and this board is GREAT for that. It is so helpful to be able to talk to people who understand what I'm going through.

That said, I'm sorry you have to be here! IF sucks a big one!

I'm so sorry you're feeling blue, all of us have our good and bad days. I really think that seeing your RE will bring you a lot of hope and relief. It always feels good to have a plan. Try to hang in there! Good luck

Thanks I think just going to the appointment will be a great relief in itself. Good luck with your up and coming game plan!

Exactly this. So glad I'm not alone on feeling this.
