My update: I just had laparascopic surgery on Wednesday. Had an hsg done in March which showed my right tube as being blocked, so I opted for the surgery to unblock it as well as look around to see if there are any other issues going on. I discovered after the surgery that the tube is not blocked, have PCOS and Endometrosis. The doc found a few cysts, one functional on my left side (probably the cause of the severe pain I've had the last 2yrs) and one on my uterus which the doc removed. He also removed some scar tissue and ran more dye through my tubes to ensure they're open. YAY!! lol. Anyhow, my husband has been gone on training this whole last week and will not be back til mid May, really stinks not having him here to take care of me but oh well. So we begin trying again next cycle when he comes home, so I'm back to praying this works. Also am starting 150mg Clomid on day5-9, so I'm hoping that works.

Anyhow, I'm so sorry I haven't had time to keep up with all the threads and posts so I hope to hear from you ladies on how you're doing and what you're going through. I've discovered this is a tough journey and have turned to God more for strength to continue. It is not easy to feel so alone and I want everyone to know I do care about you and if I can pray for anyone or just listen to someone vent, feel free. I love you ladies because you don't judge and understand feelings and emotions we go through. A lot of my family and friends don't understand and trying to talk to them about this anymore is like banging my head against a wall so I've come to realize this is the place for me to do so. Hope to hear from you ladies soon! Baby dust to all!View Thread

Brit-Sending O vibes your way! ~{}~
Becky- Glad you're feeling better and the hubby is really helping out. Sending baby vibes your way!
Michelle- I'm happy to see you're body is finally working things out. Support groups are great to have, it's nice to have people behind you keeping you motivated to push forward. I also have used those apps before and now only rely on it to store my information, as I don't trust its accuracy. So I rely more on my OPK's and progesterone level tests than a guestimation based on my past history. I'm not sure if you're having any accuracy issues with it. Anyhow, sending you lots of O vibes.
Vybe- It's good to see you're still trying and remaining positive!! Sending lots of O vibes your way!! ~{}~
Mel-It's GREAT to see everything is going well for you!! I know the anxiety and impatience that you are feeling and will keep you in my prayers. I'm sure everything is going to work out just right this time! Keep us posted!!

My update: CD18. BFP OPK on CD11, the day DH returned from training, so I'm hoping we nailed it... Still another 10 days before I can test, sigh. Anxiety is creeping in thinking about a BFP in fear of a 3rd m/c. Have had 5 friends in the last month get preggo without even trying, so that's been hard to deal with. I'm so ready for this long Memorial Day weekend, going to get away and relax some. Hope all you ladies have a good week as well as a safe and fabulous Memorial Weekend! Anyone have anything fun planned? ~{{}}~View Thread

I am so sorry to hear you've had a 3rd m/c. That's what I'm so afraid of!! My doc also said if I had another m/c then we'd do some tests but we didn't discuss what types of testing. My fertility specialist has done lots of blood work and has me on baby aspirin, even though my PCM on post says I don't have a clotting issue,along with tons of folic acid, vitamins, etc.
It seems like I'm the only Army wife having this issue. Everyone else I know has kids and has no problems conceiving when they're home or when they come home for mid tour leave from a deployment. I know I'm not the only wife, but I feel like I am. Lately, every wife I've been introduced to and hit it off with has ended up preggo (most on accident) within a week of meeting them. It rly sucks because I don't know many people here at our new post and I certainly don't want to talk about pregnancy and baby plans until I have my own. It's just hard. Anyhow...
Have you gotten the results back and maybe pinpointed a problem?? I hope this message finds you doing well and to hear from you soon. Baby vibes to all you ladies!View Thread


Did you pass it all naturally? Was this your first? Did they give an indication as to what may have gone wrong? J/w. I'm glad you're still on track with trying though. I wish you the best. I hope they can get things figured out, have you discussed adding aspirin to your daily regimen? My regular pc doc told me all my levels were normal, however my fertility doc decided otherwise. So I take baby aspirin and can tell a big difference, seems like things are flowing better, although it sucks if I cut myself. LOL. Just something to think about. Hope you get your BFP soon and have fun BD'ing!!
Pray- It's good to hear from you, although I really hoped you'd have a bfp by now. But I'm glad you haven't given up. Have you ever had an HSG test before? I would recommend having your DH go with. The nurse held my hand and when I found out the tube was blocked and wouldn't open, I fought tears and was very emotional. Have you ever been diagnosed with endo or PCOS? Take some ibuprofen and bring your own pad is the only other part. Which type are they doing? They did the X-ray and MBI (dye) to see if they were open and blew open a mucus plug. Anyhow, it's not too terrible. If you by chance have a Valium or pain killer, I would advise it just because it's kind of uncomfortable and that will help you relax. It's not so bad though. It's more emotional b/c your scared of what they could find but hope they find something so they can fix it. good luck. When do you have this done?? Keeping you in my prayers!! KMP!
Becky-Many docs decide not to do the test b/c you did get preggo, however they did one one me which prompted the surgery. I'll explain what was found later but I would discuss that option if you don't get preggo this month. Worst part is using protection bd'ing until the procedure. lol. Cause you could have other problems going on that may make it easier. Good luck in your 2ww and KUP! Baby vibes your way! {{}}
My update- It is 12 days past surgery and I am feeling great since last week. It is CD3, going to 150mg clomid CD5-9. This surgery did bring on my period early which is great bc my dh has been gone for a month on training and doesn't come back until a few days before I'm due to O. So excited, perfect timing for once! They found two cysts, one functional on my left ovary and one on my uterus they removed. They also found scar tissue, likely from my d&c in 08 and removed that as well. If I'm not pg by the time my dh deploys later this year we will treat the endo and wait until he returns to start more treatment... Hoping it doesn't come to that, although going through most/all of a pregnancy without my dh will suck but will be worth it. So anyhow, I'm glad to hear from you ladies. Talk to you soon. Keeping you all in my prayers. Baby vibes to you all! {{}}View Thread

My update- today is CD19, got a pos opk on Thursday CD15 and did lots of BD'ing this past week and weekend. Fingers crossed. So thus begins my dreadful 2ww... only 11 more days to go.
Vybe- I'm sorry you're having such bad luck lately. I hope things start looking up for you soon! Hugs and baby dust your way honey!
MelBrody- I guess I missed it, why is this your last month of trying? I'm hoping the best for you, we'd almost be on the same cycle!
Fingers crossed for you! kmp!View Thread

When is your next IUI? Didn't you say your husband was taking MegaMan? I'm thinking about getting some but not sure if that would help.View Thread

My update- Today is CD12. I had an HSG done last week and found out my right tube is blocked and they couldn't get it to open up. So now I'm waiting on the OB to call and tell me what's next. I've been telling the doctors something wasn't right for years and to just find that out is absolutely devastating. At 24, to know I have half the chance as another woman my age is heartbreaking. I find myself crying a lot lately. Anyhow, I O'd on CD14 (YAY!!) last month, so I'm hoping I ovulate this month. After ttc for so long and 2 m/c, giving up sounds so easy, but I know it won't get any easier if I put it off... sigh...
Ani-I'm sorry AF showed, at least she's not bad.
Sending baby vibes your way this cycle.Pray-I'm glad you're still optimistic and going to continue to try again.
Vybe- I am glad you're trying to stay optimistic. I understand the heartache you are feeling. Sending hugs your way!
Mel- I hate having to deal with doctors and I'm really not happy with them myself. It seems like they want to help, but don't. Sending hugs and baby vibes your way!View Thread
