Hiya everyone

Here's my ttc story

Dh and i decided that number 4 would make our family complete, so in june of 2004 i came off the pill. I had 2 normal periods june and july, and then no period until october, well at first i thought the inevitible had happened and id managed to get pregnant straight away but after 2 hpt's saying no, i got a bit worried. I took a visit to the dr's, who said it wasn't uncommon for this to hyappen and if my period didnt arrive in the next 2 weeks i was to go back, period still didnt arrive so i went back to the dr's, the dr suggested doing some blood tests, she wanted to check hormone levels, thyroid levels etc, the blood tests came back normal so in that respect i was glad nothing serious was wrong but was still worried as to why i'd had no period, finally my period came and we could start ttc properly, although my cycles we're all over the place i was still roughly pinpointing ov, and in april of this yr, 3 days after my 30th birthday i got my BFP, i was a bit worried as i had gone out on my birthday and celebrated bigtime, returning home a bit worse for drink. I've now had 2 scans, 1 at 7+ weeks to check dates and the usual dating one at 12+ weeks, on the 1st you couldnt see much just the sac and a heartbeat, on the 2nd you see a mini baby waving and moving about.

Thats my success story.

Well here is my short ttc story, so far!

DH and I have been married for almost 3 years we decided to start ttc in April. I went off bc patch April 10th 2005. When I was 16 or so, I got on bc because I would have such HORRIBLE cramps. I was on bc for 8 years. Since getting off, I still haven't had AF, but I have a doctors appointment July 26th to see what is the matter. I too was hoping I was one of the lucky ones and I was pg already, but after a blood test on June 20th that was neg I am thinking there is something wrong. Can't wait to find out and very anxious to get AF so we can officially start!

That's it...nothing too exciting, just very frustrating!! Thanks for reading!

DH and I had our daughter Kylie in 2002. I thought then, that I didn't want anymore kids. Well, something changed in me...now I want 3 or 4 (including Kylie). I decided around Christmas of 2003 that I was ready to start trying for #2. DH wanted to wait. Well, in March of 2004, I went back to school. We decided then, that either when I turned 21 (September) or when I finished school (December) that we would start trying. Well, my birthday came around, and I still really wanted to start trying. So, I guess you could say that part of my 21st birthday present was that we would start TTC #2. There have been quite a few times that we have both really thought I was pg. Only to find out, I wasn't. So, here I am 13 cycles later, still trying. September 10th makes a whole year of us TTC. At times, I just want to give up, as I know everyone else gets to that point to. I just try not to lose my hope and faith and know that when the time is right, we'll have #2 on the way. TTC has gotten a little easier on me lately though, because now DH is really, really into it. More so than he has been since we started TTC.

That's my story!!!

Lotsa luck, love, and babydust to all!!!

Heres my story will try and keep it short.

Well when i was on holiday with dh (was just b/f then) we decided to try for #1, so i stopped taking the pill.It took 8 months of ttc and we got our bfp.While pg with ds we decided that we didn't want a big age gap between 1 and 2.We thought a 2 year gap would be good so when ds was 1 year old i stopped taking the pill again.(wish i hadn't gone back on it tbh)
I had a few "normal" 28 cycles after that then they went wacko up to 35 days.Then the month before my bfp i had a 26 day cycle which really cofused me....thats ttc for you. Then on my 10th month of ttc i was 2 days late and took a hpt which came up bfn.I was abit peed off but just thought it wasn't my month again.Then 4 days later still no sign of af so i did another test and it came up bfp even before the test line did! I was in shock and couldn't stop smileing.

Well that is my story sorry.. i did go on abit there didn't i

I wish all you girls the luck in the world i really hope you get your bfp's very soon.

Ok here's mine:

DH and I both have children from previous relationships, and we've always been desperate to have one (at least) of our own. We decided to wait until we got married last June and then we'd start ttc.

It took us the best part of year to get our bfp (with one m/c early on last year) and at times it was really, really difficult. I had some really really low times especially when the ob reared her ugly head and I'd convinced myself that I was pg.

I just want to say thank you to all you girls for your support - wouldn't have been able to cope without you. Also good luck and baby dust to all of you - I know you'll get your bfp's soon and stick with it, coz it'll be worth it!

Love and miss you all

Hmmm, here it comes...

We had dd Emily in October of 2002, and I took a year off maternity's leave (paid through employee benefits) and then returned to work (boo! hiss!). My place of employment requires that you have to work for a year before you can take maternity leave, so we knew we couldn't start trying right away, as I would have to put in another year before qualifying. Then, after waiting that long, I got it into my head that I wanted a Spring baby (foolishly thinking I could choose when I got pg as I had fallen without even trying before). So, in July of 2004 I went off the pill and we started trying.

After becoming slightly obsessed, I got my first bfp in November of 2004. Sadly, I suffered a rather horrible miscarriage (medically classes as a missed abortion, which quite irritates me) in January, ending in a d&c at 11 weeks pg- we didn't tell anyone we were pg, so no one knew about the miscarriage. Two days off work and back at the desk... We were advised to wait a cycle before trying, so we got started again after af arrived, bang on 25 days. My obsession picked up where it had left off, and I luckily got another bpf in April 05. I figured that I was safe now from miscarriage, as the stats say that 1/3 women suffers a miscarriage once in their life. After slight spotting and cramping at 7 weeks, they did blood tests that confirmed the hcg levels were doing what they should and the pg was going well. The spotting didn't stop though, so they did another round of blood tests that did not come back so well. They sent me for an ultrasound that confirmed the baby had died at about 7 weeks- I was nine weeks pg (another missed abortion). With very little fuss, I went in for another d&c on a Friday and went back to work on the Monday, nobody having a clue what had happened. Such is life.

We were advised to wait another cycle before trying again, but we actually asked "why" this time. They told us for dating purposes, but then went on to say if we wanted to try, it wasn't a big deal because ultrasounds can date very accurately. Grrr, why don't they just spit it out instead of expecting you to know what questions to ask? We wanted them to do recurrent mc testing, but the doctor said we would have to miscarry again before a specialist would even look at us. Nice.

So, here we are a month after last d&c and patiently waiting for af to show her face, as she's knocking on the door, iykwim. I've become a little jaded, I guess, as a bpf doesn't mean what it should anymore. I won't be shouting it from the rooftops until I have a little baby home safe with me.

PS- My story is not the norm, and my intention was to share my story, not to scare anyone... It's kind of nice to tell someone, as I have had no one to talk to- not even dh, as he can't really understand...

Here's my story~~

I have been trying 6 months total with 2 m/c's in this time. I got pg right after coming off bcp's but ended suddenly. Then during the sonograms to check for the baby they found a 8cm showing on my right ovary. I decided to have it removed because I had had extreme pelvic pain since July 2004 and all the doctors had said I had pulled a muscle- but I figured it was from the 8 cm cyst. I had laparoscopy done and the cyst was in my right tube instead of on my ovary -and thank goodness ( I could have had my ovary removed). After surgery I still had the pelvic pain only worse. I was then diagnosed with PCOS, I had mutiple cysts on my both my ovaries causing the extreme pelvic pain. I was then put on glucophage and 2 cycles later I was pregnant again. That ended in a m/c also. So after this last m/c I was then put on Avandia because glucophage didn't prevent my 2nd m/c. My midiwfe also gave me progesterone suppostories to try next time. So here I am, waiting and trying again for the 3 rd time and praying the next time, the baby survives.

Hi Girls, I had Tierney in 1998 and had no thought about another baby until 4yrs later, i suddenly woke up one morning and decided i wanted another baby, that was around July 2002, i went straight away to try and get my coil removed, had a little difficulty getting it removed as they couldn't locate it, anyway after a few trys they managed. Very foolishly i thought i would be pg, August/September, as with Tierney i fell within weeks.
I continually tried and became very obsessive about it, DH works constant nightshift and i don't think that helps either, anyway we went to Tenerife in December 2003 and had a really relaxing holiday, i kind of knew i was going to get pg that month, January 04' i had a m/c, but the positive thing about it was i at least knew i could get a bfp. Anyway ive been ttc ever since, i took a slight break May 04' and when i say a break i mean, i didn't go on the boards, didn't check for cm, didn't use opk's every month which i had been doing, i did this for about 4 to 5 months and then decided to go back on boards and do the normal checking we all do every month. 2 months ago i went back to the docs as i feel it's been far too long and no BFP, i've now had all my bloods done, my echovist hycosy, (tubes tested) and everything is clear, dh has had a sperm test and although his count is okay, his motility is slightly down, but again i'm not worried, there are vits and things he can do. I have now got right back into my jogging and going out on my bike when the weather is nice and we'll just wait and see.

I kind of feel that i am getting back on the obsessive side of things, something dh can't cope with, all i do is talk pg's, watch programmes on tv about women giving birth, and constantly look at baby clothes and can't wait for the day that i can go and buy some.

I feel very confident that things will happen soon, and if they don't i will just continue to ttc. There is nothing else for it, and besides, i'm met too many great girls on this board to give up. We'll all get through this together.
