How long you girls have been trying to conceive? A year
What alternative measures have you tried? Nothing drastic yet. I'm temping, drinking cough syrup and green tea, and taking prenantals and vitamin B6
What Have you been diagnosed with? Nothing yet, but I am supposed to get bloodwork after I O to start looking at things. Since I had a miscarriage last cycle, I don't know if my doctor still wants to do bloodwork this cycle or next. I hope this cycle so we can start figuring out if something is wrong or if things just haven't worked for us yet.

What do you plan on doing differently? Just the bloodwork to start. I suspect my progesterone is too low as my LP is a bit short, but I could be completely wrong as I'm self diagnosing from the Internet. I told my doc this and she didn't seem to think I was completely out of my mind. We'll probably try progesterone cream first if that's the issue. Then maybe clomid, but we haven't really discussed that yet, it was just mentioned in passing during a conversation since no tests have been run.
Does it upset you that no have no control on ttcing? I would say it frustrates me. We plan everything out and it's driving me nuts that we can plan this how we want it. I am less frustrated now since I've had a few conversations with my doctor and nurse practitioner and since I did get pregnant once. I'm also frustrated since I'm 30 and want more than one kid. I don't want it to take years to conceive each kid. I'm frustrated that my sister got pregnant each time so easily. The first time was the first month they tried. The second time she'd just stopped breastfeeding, didn't know she was ovulating, had unprotected sex once and was pregnant again. Why can't that happen to me? I think it'll get harder and harder now if I don't get pregnant again this cycle or next.

How long you girls have been trying to conceive? 1 year
What alternative measures have you tried? opk's, folic acid
What Have you been diagnosed with? I had a cyst and was treated w/medication and disappeared now i'm on bcp because I have wacky cycles sometimes up to 65 or 75 days wich concernes the dr. because i'm not ovulating properly
What do you plan on doing differently? After we are done w/bcp the dr. will be prescribing clomid because he thinks my ovaries are lazy so depending on how that goes we will decide what our next step will be I'm hoping it stops at the clomid but you never know
Does it upset you that no have no control on ttcing? so much I really though it was going to be easy i've been married for 2 yrs 4mths and we were avoiding for the whole year and 4mths after our marriage If I would have known we would have started ttc before so the fact that I was using bcp and condoms and making sure my DH would pull ot (everything at the same time) I really though I was going to get pregnant right away if we had unprotected sex so the fact that it has taken long really has me frustrated. And them all the people around me seem to be pg so that sucks too.

How long you girls have been trying to conceive?Since January 07

What alternative measures have you tried? Temping, Folic acid, pre-seed, nothing drastic at this point

What Have you been diagnosed with? Nothing so far. I have long somewhat irregular cycles, my Dr gave me clomid for my next cycle (if it ever starts) so make ovulation more predictable. I will go in for a HSG in two cycles (would do it this next cycle, but I will be out of town on the right days). Then check progesterone on CD23 and at some point get checked for insulin resistance. Plus we have the stuff to collect a SA from DH, and then run it in to the lab to check him out.

What do you plan on doing differently? See above

Does it upset you that no have no control on ttcing? It does, but honestly I expected it to take a while. And I feel like I have more control than I did at first after I started temping and stuff.

Girls I really hope that sometime soon you all get a BFP! You all deserve it so much. Sometimes the waiting game is hurtful and cruel. But its up to you to grab that bull and ride it. And i know deep down inside that you will be blessed with a child very soon. Keep doing what your doing!!
I hate to watch wonderful girls go through such a hard time having a baby!
I really hope that when ever you need to ask a question, your not afraid to.
