AF showed. I think I am taking a break from ttc. This is stupid emotional.. So sick all my friends and family getting pregnant and I'm still sitting here. I just need to get away from it. Good luck everyone. I hope you all get your little bundles soon
My heart breaks for you! Do what you need to do sweetie- we will be here for you! As someone who struggled to get pregnant too, it WILL happen for you. Take time off if you need it- I did. I like to think that the reason it takes some of us a while is our little ones are up in heaven waiting for the perfect egg.Quote:

Hang in there Nann. Took me 6 months this time after getting pregnant right away with dd. I keep thinking you'll get your bfp soon! Want more of the blue ladies to join me in fall due dates!Quote:

Maiden, have they been vaccinated? The basic vaccines protect against the calicivirus and herpes virus that cause colds in cats. Be on the look out for nasal or mouth sores as it may be a sign of chlamydiosis or cryptococcal bacterial infection.Quote:

They may need to have their vaccines boostered.
GL!

Nann it took me 8 months this time to get pregnant. I have an infertility diagnosis so I went to a RE for extra help.Quote:

I'm definitely not saying you need that. I have many friends who take 6-12 months each time to get pregnant and they're completely healthy. I just wanted you to know that the Ob wasn't as expensive as I thought. My friend went to hers for peace of mind to know she doesn't have what I have!
Good luck. My second took 9 months as well so I know the month after month pain of af showing.

I'm so sorry Nann. :( It took 11 (nearly 12) months to conceive DS1 despite perfect BD timing each month. I got pregnant the month I essentially gave up. I don't know why, but sometimes it takes a little longer than we expect it to. I truly hope you get a BFP soon. Please take all my blue dust! Hugs!!
Aw Magical I'm so sorry to hear that! :( I was really hoping you'd have the transfer this month then a BFP. Hopefully you get to do the transfer next cycle. Enjoy your holiday and I hope it's nice and relaxing for you. :)
Oh Nann, I'm sorry. I understand as it's been 4 years since my last BFP.
XX, thanks for the input. My older cat might be partially vaccinated but definitely doesn't have them all. I was advised to get her vaccinated further since she goes outside, but I haven't done it bc I think it will be hell getting her to the vet. She didn't eat anything for about 36 hours, then had only a small appetite for another day. During this time she drank more water than usual and when she wasn't eating at all she slept the whole time. The day her appetite came back partially she made very soft, hoarse sounds like she'd maybe lost her voice. Yesterday evening through today she's been eating normally, but still drinking more water, and her voice is better but still not normal. Should I sterilise the leather couch she sleeps on? She also sleeps on me al lit, so I'll change my sheets, and she lies on her cardboard scratch-bed but I don't see how I can clean that.
I got some natural/herbal pills from the vet to give her, supposedly they rake about 2 weeks to kick in. She is a very nervous cat and I also suspect she suffers from chronic pain. I'm hoping to get the vet to make a house visit once the pills kick in (also plan to get Feliway plug-ins, though unfortunately I don't have any plugs anywhere near where she sleeps, I might have to get one installed, it's also a HUGE room that probably needs like 4 plug ins). Maybe I can get her and my kitten fully vaccinated then? I can't imagine anyone successfully vaccinating my older cat unless she's unconscious. :(
So sorry Nann :( My break at the end of 2015 was just what I needed emotionally and mentally; I hope yours is the same for you
Good luck to everyone that is testing soon!
Maiden, You said you are not a fan of progesterone supplements correct? Just looking for opinions.
The RE had me do progesterone bloodwork this morning, and I got the results back. (They usually don't see them until Monday). I think they had me test too early since I only ovulated on Monday but the level came back at 9.37 today. I know they say over 10 is normal and with a medicated cycle, like I was on, they like to see it over 15. DO you think progesterone supplements help at all? I really think if I got a BFP that was healthy that would signal the body to make more progesterone and the levels would be fine then. But if my LP is too short would it help me get pregnant, last month my lp was only 10 days but normally it is around 12. Not sure what to do at this point.
