I also forgot to say that I cramp until I start my period off and on. Each month we BD on fertile days with help off OPK.

Here is my story; Married in November of 2000 started TTC right away nothing happened. Have had irregular periods my whole life spent the next 9 years still TTC and not able to figure out what was wrong went to two different fertility Dr's neither one could figure out why I couldn't get pregnant both said "just lose weight and it will happen". Got very upset as I knew being overweight wasn't the only issue preventing pregnancy. Finally my GP sent me to another fertility Dr who ran a bunch of tests and in October of 2009 was diagnosed with PCOS and was put on Metformin and we started Progesterone to bring on AF and then Clomid of 50mg didn't work. Had some family medical issues come up so took time off then started again June of this year with Metformin, progesterone, 100mg of Clomid. Went to Dr on June 29 had two follicles one was 12 and the other 14 did Trigger Shot on July 3rd and hoping to get a BFP with blood work on the 11th.

Hi,
I have just joined this forum to share a few concerns. I have been TTC for the last 1 year and a half. Was diagnosed with Thyroid a yea back, but now it is normal. There is no issue with egg formation, as I undergo follicular studies every month. Now my doc has sugggested me to go through tube test to diagnose if the tubes are blocked. I guess, it is painful, moreover, it is only a diagnosis not a treatment. Please share if I should take the test or wait more.

I have had the HSG (tube test) done and it caused some cramping but it wasn't too bad. I would say it is worth your while to have it done. A friend of mine was TTC for a couple of years and had 3 losses before she had the HSG done, found her tubes were completely blocked, and was told she would need IVF to get pregnant. Her IVF worked on the first try and she has a set of adorable twin boys. Good luck to you!

So my husband and I have struggled with fertility a long.... time.. I've endured years of women at my job being pregnant and discussing every detail of their pregnancy...
Im a teacher and sumtimes there were 3 or more people pregnant at once.. I was always trying to be happy but I was sad the first dozen times for me and my husband.

Most times I cried alone in the bathroom and pulled it together sumhow.. Two years ago I had a surgery that was going to increase my fertility but instead it totally took away the eggs I had left.. I was told my body went into menopause.. I hate Endometriosis!!!

So we are adopting and now its time......!!!!!!! a mom has chosen us!!! and we have a few things left to pay and we know the date of the C section..


So today a pregnant lady at the job was talking about her baby due date, so I told her my hubby and I were adopting and my child's due date and she got this weird look on her face.. and just clammed up!!!

Not the reaction I was looking for!!! No congrats!!! ooooo...ok she said...wow...why does that hurt so much!!!

I finally got frustrated and went off of everything except the folic acid and 1 baby aspirin per day. we did ultrasound monitoring with the clomid and each time at 6 weeks there was a heartbeat, the next week when i would go back there would be none. One time the preganancy was completly gone! Its been a year now and i get more sad by the day since nothing has happened.

I just wanted to share my story which I think is pretty awesome. I'm 37 and TTC for 10 months. Began pursuing fertility after 6 months because of my age. Found out hubby had only 5% normal sperm. A few appointments and procedures later we went for our injection instruction with the IVF clinic this week. They began mixing the first medicine while they gave me a standard urine test. It was positive. Never give up! The "impossible" can happen! We are still in shock, but so happy!

Me and my DH have been TTC for just over a year. I have irregular periods (3-4 x year) I had blood work and all came back fine with nothing to worry about. I asked my dr. about ovulation and my irregular periods...she said all my hormone levels are normal, she said I ovulate every 4 weeks whether I get my period or not. I thought that if you ovulate then it is always followed by a period. Can anyone help me out with some personal experience or some correct information on this please. I have looked on the internet and every site is saying something different.
