Amazing August 2WW Thread

[GirlieCat]

Purple, when I was TTC my youngest daughter I had regular 28 day cycles and had my period extremely consistently on the same day each month and positive OPK on the same day each month and I still was not ovulating. That's why I praise clomid so much for those who may need it because I really believe I would not have my youngest right now if I hadn't pushed the doctor for help understanding what was going on with my body. Despite the regular cycles he still said I must not be ovulating and one clomid cycle later I was pregnant so it's safe to assume he was right

Burakoam, how did you know you were not ovulating? Was there anything doc did to prove ovulation was or was not happening? My doc just said she thinks I am ovulating but no real reason so that is why she said I don't need clomid.

I just don't believe it. My periods are so light and short and all the intense mid cycle cramping, I think my body is trying to ovulate but I am not actual releasing the egg.

You should be able to do clomid at least. Beautifulrainbow is in the UK and she was able to get clomid and then injectables to conceive her 4th. Most fertility clinics don't jump straight to IVF first anyway and since you have conceived before you probably just need a little boost.

Thanks purple, I had thought that about beautiful lrainbow and contacted her on the Facebook page. She was good enough to share her experience, she ran into the same problems as me with gp, she had to pay privately to get help with it. I will look into it but not sure I could afford it. Thanks for responding am just so lost at the minute, yet the diet and exercise continue x

I'm 12 dpo today and have had horrible heartburn and indigestion for the last few days. And today I became vertigo dizzy! Also mildly nauseous. None of these are my typical pre menstrual symptoms! But I'm not pregnant because my HPTs are negative.

I hope I am not becoming diabetic or something :-(

Hello everyone ;-)

I am currently 3dpo and felt the need join this forum.
This is my 2nd ( not consecutive) cycle TTC. I already have 3 dd's and am hoping for a ds this time. In my 1st attempt I swayed "hard": diet, pH, minerals, supplements, hormones, ions and timing!
This time around I'm fully relying on the moon sign :-p and a little tweak in timing & DH abstinence (4days)
Hope August turns out to be a (literally) positive month for all of us FX
Good luck everyone

xx

Good luck and fingers crossed for you, sending blue dust I have lots to spare x

I don't want you to do Ivf girlie... Haven't even brought it up lol I think you need clomid and you can use clomid by itself without Ivf.. An RE is a Reproductive Endocrinologist. Not familiar how your doctors work in the Uk but here you have a few doctor options for clomid... You can ask atomic not only would it help you with a stronger ovulation but it also sways pink in the process so it could only help you girlie not hurt.

Sorry if I was clumsy in how i responded, I never thought you were suggesting Ivf! Thanks for all the advice, I think if I could pop a decent egg I would be grand with the rest. Atomic told me when my lp was 9 days that Clomid might be a good idea but she said I had to wait until the gp suggested it, he has not, will see what Thursday brings! X

Lissa- any chance you are off on your ovulation by a day or two? Maybe you aren't 12 DPO? More like 10-11?

No girliecat... They did my pre testing and said it was normal. The only reason they thought I wasn't ovulating is because I went to him and gave my symptoms. During the initial consult he noticed my cystic acne and commented on it. I also have very thin hair and balding in some spots. He said even with a normal hormone panel he wanted to say I had some mild form of PCOS. He said we would give me a year and see what happens. Well my cycles were perfect and like clockwork but AWFUl... I was crazy emotional and easily depressed. My boobs would hurt something fiery all through each cycle not just in the 2ww... When I went back to him all broken out with my hair falling out and bawling cause I couldn't take it anymore he put me on progesterone for a week to 'normalize' me then had me start clomid after the progesterone period was done (actually had two periods in December.. My normal one and the progesterone withdrawal bleed) and I had absolutely no symptoms of being on clomid it made me feel fantastic... And I was convinced I wouldn't be so lucky as to get pregnant the first clomid cycle as it was supposedly not that common but I did get pregnant and I attribute it all to my excellent RE and clomid... I wish you all lived in Iowa so I could introduce you to him lol

Cat- what cycle are you on TTC? What are your cycles like for you? Any physical signs you may not be ovulating other than the intense cramping?

Burakoam - - Have you had your ferritin levels (iron stores) checked? A level under 50 often leads to hair loss. After years of heavy periods and then my miscarriage, my ferritin was at 8. Ideal is 70-90 in women! Low ferritin can also cause poor egg quality and other symptoms similar to low thyroid - - feeling cold all the time, depression, fatigue, breathlessness, etc. Ferritin is not something they normally check, you have to ask for it specifically. After 18 months on high dose prescription iron 3 times a day, my level finally reached the normal level (72). If you have heavy periods or don't eat a lot of red meat, your levels are most likely low.
