You, TTC, and Your Partner

Hi my name is Tyra! I'm currently not ttc! However, once dh comes home in August, we will! A baby boy is all he talks about! You guys just don't know how tired I get of him talking about this little boy who hasn't even made it hear yet! He's already making plans for him! Is this normal for a man to be more overly excited than a woman?! Has any of you ladies ever experienced this? Lol its not a big deal but I want to hear anybody else's input?

My husband and i have a dr appointment with our fertility dr in about 2 weeks ..in this appointment he will be recommending iui which will probably happen just after ...i will be put on clomid and then we will wait for the appointment ..

Has anyone out there had an iui or can anyone give me any advice ...on what to expect ...im feeling down and just need a bit of a pick me up .

So, I am 2 days before my supposid Ovulation date. I have been taking OPK tests everyday since CD 10 and nothing. Even today, 2 days before O no positive! Is this normal, this is my first time doing these tests as my last two pregnancies happened pretty much overnight without trying! My temperature too a dip today to 96.99 so I dont know what to think. GRRRR

I know that my DH and I haven't been trying for all that long, as we just reunited in Dec. 2009 after a year and 4 months apart and a couple of MCs now. But I can no longer handle the emotional roller coaster that TTC is bringing ... sadly enough this is not ups and downs from the failed attempts, the appearance of AF, or the constant BFNs.

This emotional inclines and super steep declines come from my DH ... it has been drilled into his culture that overweight women cannot have babies. So being a BBW, I have to suffer the comments that come from him each month when AF shows. Comments such as "If you were skinnier I could easily get you pregnant." and "if you were skinny it would be easy to have babies." No matter the fact that I have PCOS, and a 10 year old from before, whom I conceived while being overweight ... instead his mother's words and his culture's words have been drilled into his head and he is not being too kind with them towards me. Grated his culture is to be bold and outspoken, but that doesn't make them hurt any less.

So with that I am not going to even think about babies, TTC and wanting to have more children. Instead I will just focus on my courses for my Bachelors' degree, and my online job, and if it happens, it happens. I cannot handle the added stress that he places upon me about my weight, when it is not an issue other then when we are TTC.

Good luck to all you ladies trying, and most importantly *~*~*~* LOBD *~*~*~* to you all!

We are currently trying for a child. We each have a child from our previous relationships...his daughter is 18 and my son is 10, but we would love to have children together. We have been married since April 2009 and ttc since Dec. 2008. My husband recently was put on Clomid for low testerone levels...evidently it has the reverse affect on men than it does on women. He was always tired, had no libido what so ever, and becoming very impatient with everyone. WE have seen improvements since he has been on it, but still no baby. We are lucky if we TTC once a month, and when we do it's usually around "O" time. The doc has also put him on cialis, but with all of this, still no baby. I am always willing to have sex, being that I have the libido and he doesn't....So, how do we go about ttc with all of these problems? When i talk to my doc about it, he seems to blow me off about, give it time he says....I'm 29, I don't want to wait to much longer. HELP!!!

My fiance and I have been ttc for 2 yrs now. My last menstrual cycle was Jan 25.Due to my irregular cycles, it's hard to know when I ovulate. This time around my period was late, and I was a little excited, but convinced myself not to get too anxious. Unfortunately, my period started today, and I felt so let sad. But I thank God for my fiance, because he is very emotionally supportive. My prayers go out to all the women on this site. May God bless you and your families, and answer your prayers. Ladies, keep the faith!
