35 months ttc, new obsticles.

September 14, 2008

Well its September. DH and I have been TTC for 35 months now. Next month marks our 3rd year anniversary of deciding to "have a baby". 3 Little words that are so easy to say, and so difficult to do.

I recently started Clomid. CD3-7 @ 50 mg. I went on CD12 for a follicle screening... I got less than thrilling news- It looks as though my follicles were too small on CD12 and according to the Dr. I most likely will not Ovulate this month. Bummer, if you choose to believe it. I know losts of women who O very late in their cycles, so Im hoping thats what I am, a late Oer =) I have high hopes that I will get that + OPK this month!

Then he hit me with even harsher news. It looked on the u/s as though I "may" have a subseptate uterus. This is a condition where the uterus is shaped like a "heart" instead of a circle or oval. It happened when I was a fetus and my uterus was just formning. I have no idea how common it is, or if any other women have conceived with such a condition. They want to do another u/s next cycle and see how bad it is. If the septum (part in the middle of the 'dip') is too big, then they will have to go in and do a procedure to fix it. Overall its not a huge deal, some women have kids and never even know they have it... but most often it can cause m/c in the first trimester or other pregnancy problems depending on how severe it is.

I need lots of encouragement and prayers. I feel lost at times. I know to keep hope, there is a chance my uterus is OK and they wont have to do the procedure. There is also a chance that I will still Ovulate.

I am very worried about all of this, it consumes my thoughts and I can't help but get scared/worried. I am holding onto hope and believing that God has our miracle waiting and soon it will be here, when the time is right. I have surrendered myself to him and told him I'm not giving up- just letting him make the calls... its all in his hands anyway. Im ready to be a mother and can't wait until the day I find out I am pregnant =)

Did you end up getting your + opk ?

September 23, 2008

nope not yet. so im either waiting on one slow egg or for AF to show. lol =)

September 23, 2008

did you have your 21 day test done.

September 23, 2008

nope. im cd23 right now, my Drs do it differently they do a follicle screening around cd 12 and its an u/s where they look at my uterus and my ovaries. the dr told me based on the small size of my follicles i most likely wouldn't ovulate this cycle.

Wow Jen ( if its ok i call you that)

So are you going to up your dose next cycle?This is my first cycle on clomid also.So i was kinda watching your story.I haven't had any testing so far which is bad. But ive been to my doc this cycle and he just told me to do a beta on 29th based off my symptoms so far.Isn't that weird i would think a us at the lease but i'm almost done this cycle anyway.Best of luck to you on your next cycle jen.

Hi Jennifer - that totally stinks that you may not O this month - I really hope that you do though! I have faith that you will get your precious bundle of joy you have worked so hard to get. Keep your chin up, and I'm wishing you lots of good luck and *****babydust*****.

Thanks guys that means a lot to hear that =) I am taking a temporary break from constantly ttc. Im just going to take my clomid, go to the Drs for my follow ups and thats it. Im so tired and emotional anymore, I feel like ttc is taking over my life! its so frustrating and I dont want to stress myself out over all of this. So Im just going to go with the flow of things and hope to get pregnant soon =) I wont be on this site as often, I'm forcing myself to stay away and live my life how I used to. I need to relax and recharge, and find myself again. I hope you all get your BFPs... I'll be on from time to time but for the next couple weeks I'm focusing on other things and I hope it works out for the best!

Good luck in all that you guys do. I'll still post any updates I get but I have a feeling there wont be any for a while...

Hi jennifer. I responded to you're other thread too. I wanted to let you know that I'm a late O'er. I finally figured out that I O on CD21. A week after the typical O date. So looking back at the times I took clomid (50, 100) and u/s showing sub par follie size, I think it was just too early for me to do the HCG trigger and BD timing was way off. This could be the same for you. I took a break from the meds, the accupuncture, the treatments and just relaxed and charted my temps and saw that i wasn't o'ing until Day 17 or day 21. i just realized that I'm not like the rest of the girls. I have longer cycles and later O'dates and that's just how it's gonna be. I can take all the meds in the world, but my body is still going to do what it does. I finally got my BFP. So I guess it can even happen to us late o'ers. Good luck and I wish you loads of relaxation and tranquility because the baby dust will follow.

Thanks so much LC that means a lot =) I think a "break" will do me good too. I know the clomid will work I just need to relax and not think about it as much. Its all going to work out in the end i just can't keep making it the number one focus in my life, b/c its wearing me down slowly.

Congrats on you BFP =) thats great news! I wish you only the best.. Sticky glue a hundred times over!!
