Magical March 2016 TWW

[sharon]

aww goodluck all ladies , hope you all get bfps this month, im only 3dpo so a week until i can test

[1moregirl]

I'm certain I'm out and now just waiting for AF to arrive. I'm really disappointed and depressed about it. Usually one shot like what we just did is all it takes for me to get pregnant but now all of a sudden it seems sooo out of reach. Doesn't help that DH is not entirely onboard with ttc another. I feel so resentful toward him I could just about walk off and leave him, yet of course I wouldn't when we have our three beautiful children who I always put first. He is always so irritable, tired, grumpy, serious and I've just had enough of the sheer sight of him. Sorry for my negativity ladies - just can't help it right now. I wish the rest of you all the best in getting your BFPs. I had been hoping to get a BFP on 19th March as that was when my last baby was due (the one I lost last year).

Doctor told me I can try again, and I ask if I can have progesterone levels checked, she said it's an outdated test, and fertility specialist doesn't believe it will effect you, only suggest progesterone check if women don't ovulate.

Is this true? She also said if I spot again she will do saline sono, but if not then there no reason to.

I should be ovulating in a few days, but doubt I'll get pregnant until after my period.

Does vitex make you spot? I was thinking maybe of taking it again,
My progesterone was 5.7 at 11dpo prob was low due to miscarring I guess.

Princessmom I've heard that progesterone levels will adjust themselves accordingly during pregnancy but I'm no expert. My RE does check progesterone levels BUT I think at least in my case it was just part of my "cover all the bases" testing. If it really worries you, then mention it again to your doctor if you get pregnant again. I don't know if vitex would cause your spotting or not but I didn't even ovulate while taking it last summer and had breakthrough bleeding because of it. Ask Atomic for advice on it. She knows her stuff. I hope you get your sticky bean soon!

As for me, I had the HSG done today and my tubes are clear! The radiologist said it's possible they could have had a small blockage prior to the procedure the dye cleared out but they're clear now so it's all good! I'm so tempted to try this cycle but I have one more test to do in a couple weeks then hopefully we'll be done so we can finally have the consult with the RE.

Best of luck to all the ladies this month! FX for lots of BFPs!

[Princess Mom]

Yay KS mom! Good for you!! Hope all goes well!!
Yea I'm gonna stay away from vitex, I don't have any issues, just pray no polyp comes back! Gonna opt in for saline ultrasound just double check, but doc said no polyps

Bfn this morning 11dpo (not surprised) now had some spotting tonight so AF is on its way.

Surprisingly feel ok about it, had a feeling March was not my month. At least if AF arrives soon, can start planning my April sway.

Decided to definitely drop jump and dump next month but stick to e4days! X

Sorry jenny and 1moregirl.

1moregirl, fertility really drops off much more rapidly in the 40s, especially after 42. I wouldn't expect to conceive right away but I don't think you'll have to wait that long. I know it's hard with your DH being opposed, though. Maybe the fact that you BDed when fertile without conceiving will make him drop his guard a bit?

I freaking hate Clomid! The constant hot & sweaty upper body combined with ice cold feet and exhaustion is just crippling for me. I feel like I have the flu for over a week! I've been naughty about snacking too lately, ugh.

Thankyou Maiden. You have a gifted way with words and make me see perspective. You are sooo right. I was naive thinking that it would happen straight away. And yes - maybe it will make DH let his guard down a bit and trust me to BD more often without the condoms. I am really thinking as well that I will use my diva cup next time too after BD as I did that last year when I got a BFP and it was the only time I'd used it so worth a shot right?

[Honeybug]

I'm sorry 1moregirl I hope you get your bfp soon. Sorry I dont know much about the diva cup in-regards to ttc

ksmom: Amazing news!! I too, would be really tempted to try this month but I understand your reasoning for waiting; fx you get your sticky bean when you do try!

Princessmom: yay for no polyps! That is great news! My OB is the opposite as he loves checking progestrone and bloodwork is his perferred method of checking anything (including ovulation he prefers labwork over ultrasound). Personally I would stay away from vitex as it made my cycles so irregular (even more so than normal) but thats just my experience with it

I'm sorry Jenny I think it's smart to drop J&D but still dtd e3d

Maiden are you taking clomid this cycle or are your symtpoms from the clomid still being in your system? FX you get your bfp!

Good luck to all those testing soon!
