To think everything is against us TTC #2?!!

Having a "woe is me" moment.

Been TTC #2 for 18 month, had a MC in that time too. Was prescribed Clomid 2 cycles ago but as my periods became even more erratic I contacted my consultant for advice. After 2 weeks of phone calls each day he finally rang back and said go to my GP, have the contraceptive pill prescribed & then start taking clomid again when I have the simulated period. He said he would put it in writing so I could take the letter to my GP. It came through y'day & he actually used the phrase " notso and her DH should wine and dine each other every day like teenagers" in it! Wtf? Is he taking my infertility seriously?!

Anyway by some weird luck I had a positive OPK on CD 15 & 16 on my own. DTD every day but 2 days ago I started getting a dull ache on my right side couple with a brown discharge. This lasted for 48 hours. Now I'm really worried that I ovulated late & the tests were screwed up, meaning we've missed the one chance we've had in months! Is it possible I ovulated twice? Clinging onto a bit of hope!!

Woe is me, is the universe is against us? :-(

Hi. I'm having a bit of an issue like this at the moment too. Ttc our first. 6 months in I've had 1 period. I have suspected PCO and the referral is taking so long we're spending money we don't have to go private. And to make it that bit harder I have one friend who is 4 days passed her due date and one who has just announced she is 14 weeks pregnant. Sometimes life is just crap.
I think you should have a word with your consultant!

I have my fingers crossed for you
Thanks

I think the wine and dine comment may hav been meant with good intentions rather than him bring flippant about your situation. Speaking from experience it's easy to get bogged down in 'gotta make a baby, gotta make a baby, gotta make a baby', peeing on sticks, OPKs, charting, 'quick, I'm ovulating, impregnate me right now!' - it can (an often does) suck the romance right out of a relationship and turn sex into a baby-making chore rather than the fun time it should be. I'm sure he simply meant it in the sense of keeping the romantic side of sex alive and making time for each other, sex for sex's sake rather than strictly for procreation - y'know?

As for the brown bleeding, what day of your cycle are you on? If far enough maybe considering doing an HPT, all of my pregnancies started with side cramps and brown spottingz

Can't really give any advice and I really don't want to get your hopes up unnecessarily. The brown spotting could be nothing at all but it could be implantation bleeding.

I spent a long time on the conception boards trying for no2, everyone was lovely and supportive with amazing advice.I would repost in conception for cracking advice.

Really sorry about the mc. Thanks

notsohappygolucky · 21/11/2013 22:32

Thanks for all the lovely words. Have now checked out the conception boards!

The discharge is now at an almost bleeding point (sorry for tmi). I had an ovarian cyst in July & was admitted to hospital but a scan in Sept showed nothing. What I'm experiencing now replicates that. Back on the phone to my fertility consultant then!
