Sun Mar 03, 2013 7:27 pm

My husband & I have been married , 11 1/2 yrs , the last four yrs we have been trying to conceieve , without any luck .. At this point Im very frustrated , staring to think that we will never a child .. I've been to the Dr. my family Dr. does not think that our fertility problems are due to me, since I have a child from a previous relationship , soo I know I can get pregnant . Right now I am just trying to be as healthy as I can , since going to the Dr. back in January Im working on trying to loose at 30lbs , since I am 5'2 and am weighing in at 164lbs which for my height is not very good. I know that fertility & weight go hand & hand , soo hopefully loosing this weight will help us in our chances of conceiving .. I have another Dr.'s appoint comming up this month , this time my husband will be going with me , soo we can discuss the next step & see why we aren't getting pregnant ..

Hugs I would look into seeing a specialist not just go off of what your family doctor says he does not specialize in that area and may not know every thing. Just because you got pregnant once does not mean anything. HUGS and pray you see a BFP soon.

Has your DH had a SA? That was the first thing that my OBGYN Rx when we went to her after 4 months of trying - we got our BFP the next cycle, but it was a great comfort to see that everything was well with him.

I had been charting, so she was able to see that I was O'ing. Are you charting?

Or I guess I should ask - what have you done on your TTC journey?

You have found a great group of ladies for support and a shoulder to cry on when needed. I can't say enough good things about BZ ladies!!

Hoping that you get answers soon and your BFP immediately after!

Has your Dr. done any blood work? When I was trying to conceive my first, my Dr. did blood tests to check my prolactin, thyroid, sugars. It turns out my thyroid levels were a little high. I started taking synthroid, and within a month I was pregnant. Something like your thyroid being a little out of whack is an easy fix and can have an impact on your fertility.

Weight can certainly be a factor in making it more difficult to conceive. When I got pregnant with my first dd, I was 164 (I am 5'0 - so that is WAAAAY too much for my frame), I met with a diatician, and a personal trainer to get me started and now am at 137. That helped me to pin point areas where I needed to make changes in my diet. It was covered by my insurance, so if it seems like it may be too pricey, you should check to see if maybe a session with a dietician can be covered.

Now I keep track of my periods , for a while I was doing the OPKs along with the digital OPK, I quit because they were stressing me out , I did the temping for a while, but with my sleeping schedule being crazy , it wasn't working .. Soo I just gave up .. I have noticed over the last couple of months that I have had bleeding right arround my fertile , last month I bled from cycle day 13 all the way to cycle day 15/ 16th .. My af was due the 27th of feb , I ended up being 4 days late , as of right now the length of my cycle is 36 days ..
