This is Taking Forever

My husband and I have been together for 6 years 9 months. We got married in Oct. 2005 and decided to start trying in Dec. 2005. So I quit taking my birth control pills which I had been taking for 5 1/2 yrs. Of course like many other couples we thought that it was going to be a piece of cake. Well, boy were we wrong.

We have now been trying for 19 months. My periods were very irregular, I would go 2-3 months w/out having one. So, I am on my third cycle of clomid 50mg days 3-7, and my Dr. put me on Metformin 1,000mg a day so that I will start my period each month. (I have been taking this for about 5 months).

So far I have ovulated each month that I've been on Clomid, I know this because I use the OPK around the time of ovulation. We start having sex about 3-4 days before ovulation, the day of, and a couple of days after just to be sure. I am in the 2 week wait right now and I am supposed to start my period in 6 days.

We haven't gotten pregnant yet, so we are hoping and praying that it will happen soon. I will definitely let you know if I am pregnant.

Baby Dust to you all and hang in there!!

ttc 1mth after comming of bc, spotting for 5 weeks

I'm ttc with what would be my 1st, recently came off bc.

Everything was fine up until I missed a few in may due to moving house. I started spotting brown but very light, I was still taking bc while spotting, then I got fed up as I didn't know if this was a withdraw bleed or af.

So anyway that’s when I threw out my last 2 packets. When it came to my 7day break weirdly enough the spotting stopped. Ahhhh annoying or what.

That week no spotting then after it returned light but with pains....I started to believe that during the missed pill I could of been pg but never thought about it and then I was told taking 3-4 bc pills for the 1's missed is like taking the morning after pill. Oops, didn't know that sorry, and then it came back so all in all I spotted for 5weeks.

Don’t know when af will come as my cycle is messed up but I believe I’m ovulating now so me and dh will be ttc as I've come off bc for good and would like to start a family of our own.

I pray for no af this month and another 9, maybe its happened already??? And also the fact that SOME couples have multiple births after bc would be great. FYI I’m 22 I have been working since I was 13. Worked in a nursery for 3yrs with 6mths - 5yrs and a youth club with 8-11yrs. I’ve worked in pathology lab clinical chemistry and currently work in renal & transplant.

Due to start uni to train to become a midwife in Sept 2007 yay I could be delivering your babies who knows.

I have always been maternal and cant wait to be a mom, what I like about these site's is the children are really wanted and are planned, accidents are ok I just don’t like the term accident.

I want to have my babies and be planning and expecting

All the best to you ttc'ers
Good luck and keep me posted

Amazing

So I've been reading these stories for like 3 weeks hoping that one day I would be able to post my story. Well let’s see, I took my last pill on the June 11th, 2007 because I was expecting it to take awhile. I got my monthly friend two days later on the 13th.

Well 3 weeks later I started to feel really tired and I had sore breasts, I never ever get sore breasts. So I took a test on the 2nd, yes I know way too early of course it was negative. Then on the 8th of July I took another one right before my DH and I were going swimming. We covered it for the 3 minutes and finally decided to check. I saw one dark line and immediately walked away. My DH was like "uh honey I see a faint second line" no way I thought. When I went back it actually was positive!!

I have my first ultrasound in 3 weeks and I can’t wait for March when I have my beautiful baby!

I can’t believe I was only off the pill for 2 weeks before I conceived! I heard that increases your chances for twins... how exciting. Baby dust to all!

My Symptoms

The first time I got pregnant, what really gave it away was breast soreness- it hurt to even stand up from a laying position and to touch. Which was the most breast pain I've ever had. I also had implantation bleeding- just really light bleeding that never lasted more than 3 days. I was reeally hungry too.

The second time I got pregnant, I had no breast soreness at all! But I did have the implantation bleeding, and my appetite was the complete opposite- anything and everything was totally unappealing, and after I finally would decide on something- I felt I never wanted to eat it again! (But of course that ended after I wasn't pregnant anymore! And also both pregnancies- I had to pee a lot.

So these were my main first pregnancy symptoms.

Never giving up

Me and my husband have been together 4 years, and have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years. I had a tubal reversal done in 2005, but one of the tubes got blocked. I also have fibroids, tilted pelvis and no cervical fluid for the sperm to survive in. We finally decided to do IUI and started clomid, two days after my period I went in for ultrasound and was told I have cyst and need to come back on my next flow.

I was told by my infertility doctor that the only way I would get pregnant was by IUI or IVF. Believe it or not, I have wanted my period to come before now I am counting the days that the old hag shows up and hopefully the cyst will be gone, if not I will have to wait for another month.

I will be 40 on Oct 1 and I know that before this year is out I will be with child because I think positive everyday and thank God for what he has already giving me and thank him for what I am about to receive.

God is good all the time.

Baby dust to all.
