Well, I've spent most of the day surfing the web reading others stories of TTC and 2WW. I even know all these silly acronyms now! I'm still not tempted to participate in the forums yet, but it's nice to read them and know I'm not the only one going through this.
We have been trying to have a baby for about 5 months now, and only 3 months of REALLY trying (temp charting, ovulation kits etc). I have PCOS, but it doesn't seem to be severe, as I think I am ovulating every month, and my periods are fairly regular. I am currently day 20, and it's been about 5 days since I think I ovulated.
I had a terrible weekend, throwing up and fainting on Saturday night, but I don't think it's pregnancy, as I had a temperature as well, and still don't feel 100%.
The whole TTC thing has really taken over my life. For at least half the month, I feel positive and excited. For the other half, I feel sad, alone and abnormal. I worry that I will end up in IVF (as one of my best friends is) and be too old to have as many babies as I would like. I know we haven't even got one yet, but I always thought I would like 3. I am an only child, and there's no way I'm only having one. (If I have a choice).
I have started weekly acupuncture, and have been taking every supplement under the sun. My natural health therapist gave me vitex (chasteberry) last week, but because I was sick, I haven't been able to take it.
I have so many questions:
- is it possible to take too many supplements?
- how do I ask DH to take the semen analysis? He is so sensitive, and this has been stressful for him.
- If I found my OB/GYN to be kind of scary, should i go back to him?
That's all for now - perhaps this writing thing will help.
