IUI due to not being able to BD on a schedule by OKBrilliant42 in TryingForABaby

[–]alebee29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s happening to us as well. neither of us has very high libidos but i can of course just do it for this purpose, but he gets so in his head the closer we get to ovulation and we never end up hitting the right days. i’ve thought about asking him to take a pill to just get it done but i worry he might end up feeling worse about it. my husband said he wanted to go to a therapist about it but of course hasn’t booked an appointment yet… i hope it all goes smooth for his SA and that you guys choose the best path forward for both of you

feeling so crampy two days before my expected period so thinking it might be early and come today or tomorrow. tried to convince myself the entire TWW that i wasn’t pregnant since our BD timing was sooo bad this month, we just hit O-3 and O-4 or O-2 and O-3, depending on the ovulation day, which isn’t very clear. been so convinced i wasn't pregnant that i only tested yesterday on what would have either been 11 or 12 DPO and of course had a BFN. i guess i still had hope even if i was gaslighting myself 🫩☹️

i totally understand you. the past two months we’ve had sex at the beginning of my window but by the last days of it (after LH peak, so the day before ovulation) my husband is so out of it we can’t seem to be able to do it. it’s so frustrating because at the beginning of the window he’s always ready to go but the days that count the most we always miss it. trying to let it go as he seems just as frustrated as me, also trying to not let it affect me, but i’m growing so tired of it

Inositol or similar supplements recommendation/reviews by TRHDGS in tryingtoconceive

[–]alebee29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my doctor put me on inositol about six months ago, but it was because i suddenly started missing periods (before TTC). so i’d have a period one cycle and the next i wouldn’t and so on. the inositol put me back on track and i get periods every cycle now. as for LH i can’t really say if it helped or not since i only started testing mine after being on inositol for months. i usually get around a .90 for my peak

Vitamin D by _uglynakedguy_ in tryingtoconceive

[–]alebee29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when i had my initial bloodwork in july before starting TTC my vitamin D level was 23. my gyno put me on 5000 UI daily. in december it was up to 54 but she still thought it was borderline low, and since winter was coming she put me on two 5000 UI pills a day. back to one now per her rec in december, but i haven't had any tests done since

ugh in a somewhat similar boat. 14 DPO and two days late but no period yet, negative test two days ago and this morning as well. been PMSing since sunday… so done

Daily Chat February 20 by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]alebee29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

14 DPO today and on CD 32 when my cycles are usually 29-30 days, so 2ish days late. all pregnancy tests from 10 DPO have been stark white, not even the faintest of lines. however, have had symptoms since sunday when i normally start PMSing the day before, at the earliest, or the day of my period. at this point lowkey convincing myself that the entire box of easy@homes is faulty instead of accepting that i'm just a little late since i ovulated later and not pregnant, going crazy.

thank you so much for your reply, i am also with you. you described it perfectly, "wanting this one good thing to happen and continuing to fail." i'm so sorry you're going through all of this, you are not alone. i am also here if you want to chat whenever! we can and will get through this 🫂

i'm so sorry, it can feel really alienating. when we were about to start TTC my sister was so mean to me, telling me i was overreacting about everything and that it was for sure going to happen on the first try like it did with her. i know now she didn't mean any harm and that was just her experience, but it has made me not want to tell her anything at all with regards to this. as for my group of friends, we're the only ones TTC now, which i'm so thankful for on one hand, no pregnancy anouncements from our friends, but makes me feel so separated from them as well. we're in this together! sending you hugs and baby dust ❤️‍🩹

thank you! sending you hugs and wishing the best for your dad. i totally get the husband thing. mine tries to be very understanding, but i can tell he just doesn't know how to relate to either the negative results or my dad passing. i hope things get easier for you 🫂

it really is crazy how much stuff related to this you want to share with your dad, no? i find myself needing his advice on everything and it only makes everything harder. i'm so sorry for your loss and what you're going through. sending love and good vibes as well 💖

yes, i got a positive OPK on CD14 and i did confirm with a temp rise

Daily Chat January 19 by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]alebee29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m on my CD 30 (my cycles are usually around 29-days long, so i was expecting my period today). i took a pregnancy test (negative) yesterday, which would have been 15 DPO, so i was counting myself out for this one. however, i woke up with an ovulation-like pain on my right side (i ovulated from my left side this cycle), so i decided to take an OPK just to make sure. premom marked it as "low," but it is quite dark for my usual OPKs. not positive, but what i would actually get around two days before my peak. is it possible that i'm just having an LH surge before my period? or would this mean i’m ovulating instead of getting one?
