First Time Ttc.

Well, let me introduce myself. I'm kara.
I'm 23 years old. This month, we have
decided we're ttc. Now, keep in mind we
haven't been careful beforehand at all.
Lol. We just decided that we'd own up to
what we were doing. So it's been about 3
months since we started.
I love hearing other people's stories
*like any other woman on here ttc* I just
want to find some friends to talk to and
stick with through this, since it can be
hard.
Wouldn't it figure, when you're not
trying... Bam! You're pregnant. And
when you are trying... Mother nature
outright ignores you.

Hi kara, i'm michelle!
My story.....Well, I found out I was
pregnant(not ttc) with my first son at 17,
delivered him at 18. After he was a year,
my husband and I wanted another so we
started ttc. One year into ttc I started
to worry that maybe something was wrong so
we made an appointment to see my obgyn.
Did numerous tests...Everything came back
normal. Had an ultrasound which showed
what appeared to be poly cystic ovarian
syndrome :shock:
then we decided to have this procedure
done that checks your fallopian tubes for
any blockage.... Not one but both tubes
were blocked! I was pretty distraught
over it. However, the following week
after this procedure was done, I conceived
:o
on may 22 2002 I delivered my second son,
jordan!
I hope everything goes well for you!

Wow! I was 17 when I was pregnant with my
son, too. I was 18 when I had him. He's
four now. And we figured that now is a
good time for siblings, and such.
I am really scared that something is
amiss, though I don't have anything to
back it up. I just have a weird feeling.
My Dr. Says that he tends not to worry
about young woman ttc. I swear I want to
slap him. Lol
but thanks for sharing your story! It
makes me feel like even if I get thrown a
curve ball, there's help.

Four is the perfect time....
My boys are three years apart. It's
nice!
I know your chances of having
complications getting pregnant are lower
due to age, but anything is possible.
Did you have any problems with your first?

Nope. It was easy getting pregnant. But
since then, af has been getting heavier,
very painful, etc. I feel like it's
really silly to worry. But on the other
hand, I feel like my body is trying to
tell me something. Who knows! Won't find
out until I try, right?
On another note, I have mentioned that I
would like to be checked for endometriosis
(sp?) and my gyn hasn't done anything
about it. I think it might be time to
change dr's

I would definitely be thinking about
changing doctor's.
You should mention to your doctor that you
are ttc and you want to make sure there
are no problems.
Hopefully everything will work out.....

Thanks michelle.
I have told him that i'm ttc. And he's
given me the green light. I get a
papsmear every 6 months because
precancerous cells were seen on my cervix.
So far, everything has checked out fine.
He said it would have no effect on my
trying to get pregnant. I have to go see
him next month, and I think i'm going to
tell him I want to be checked out, or i'll
be finding a new Dr.

We too have just decided to try for real
also.
There has been a few chances in the past
couple months but now we've actually
decided we're ready for a baby.
We're getting married in 3 weeks (private
ceremony in maui) and I would love to be
pregnant for that! Do you think it's bad
to be drinking while you're trying?

If he is a good doctor, he will want to
expel all fear or future complications if
any.
Well at least he's being cautious by
testing you every 6 months. You have to
be careful!
I have posted pictures of us... I'd love
to see pictures of your son. What's his
name? I don't even know your name :p

Michelle! I'll post the link for my son's
pictures later this afternoon! My name is
kara. And it's nice to meet you.
And congrats kelly! Thats a wonderful
place to get married! I don't think a
glass or two of champagne will hurt on
your wedding night. But anything after
that if your seriously trying probably
won't help your chances.
Jess, good luck with the endo. Just
remember that they can do all sorts of
things now, and that you're chances are
still good. But keep in touch with your
dr!
And thank you to everyone who is sharing
their stories, it really helps a lot.

Hi all, my name is lisa and I had my
daughter when I was 17, one month shy of
18. She is now 6yrs. I am now married
and my husband had a vasectomy. We went
for a reversal in january. Last month we
got a count of 11 million after "none
seen" for like 7 months. This month we
did an analysis and it came back really
good except for the motility. We have 43
million now. :) so we have been really
trying for about 2 months now. In these
two months, last month and this month, 4
dpo I have started a very light spotting
of light pink. Last month I got my period
two weeks later :( this month the spotting
has just started again. I don't get it.
I'm not stressed at all. Oh well. I have
a call into my doc.
So hi to all and gl. I love to try to
help other people and appriciate anybody
elses input on this to!

Sometimes it makes it harder.
I wish everything goes as well...Have fun

Hey tammy here, I am trying to have a baby
also. I have read to elevate your lower
body (after sex) so that your lower body
is pointed up. Make sense? Anyway, this
is so the sperm can have a better chance
of staying inside and "swimming" to were
they need to go......... :lol:
the longer we can keep them in the better
chance, I seriously will not move
sometimes for an hour. My husband thinks
i'm crazy. He kinda feels like it will
happen when it happens and looks at me
like i'm crazy cause I come up with all
this new stuff to do everyday. I am not
preganat yet though...... But with me I
think it is bacuse my body is not back on
track from my d&c yet.
