Questions/concerns about tcc...

Question

my husband and i are trying for a baby, have been for a few months. we were totally sure i was about 2 to 3 months ago, even posted a few questions on here and everyone else agreed that with my symptoms i was, blood test came back negative and i was a wreck. just went through the same thing this week. so now i'm really curious....

1: can conception times be genetic? my mom got pregnant really fast with me while using 3 forms of protection.

2: can ovarian cysts interfere with anything, or perhaps egg production?

3: is a very light reddish/brown discharge for 2 weeks in place of a normally heavy period normal?

i know i should go to a doctor, but i won't have health insurance until october that would cover ob-gyn. and i don't trust doctors, too many common illnesses share symptoms with major problems, and i'd rather have advice from others with similar issues.

Answer 1

i'm not sure if conception times can be genetic...

i do know, however that ovarian cysts can interfere with ttc. i have polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) and it took me 3 years of ttc to finally get pregnant. i ended up having to get an hsg, take a few rounds of clomid, and use some preseed in order to have success.

and i don't think that spotting for 2 weeks is really normal either. it has happened to me when i've been really stressed out, i had spotting for 38 days or something crazy like that.

going to the doctor of course, is the best thing, but i understand that you want other's opinions from experience. doctors ended up helping me a lot, but i was lucky enough to find docs who knew what they were doing and genuinely cared about me.

most importantly in your ttc endeavors...relax. take everything one step at a time, and have fun trying!

these sites really helped me out:

Good luck to you and BABY DUST!!

Answer 3

1: can conception times be genetic? my mom got pregnant really fast with me while using 3 forms of protection.--No I dont think so

2: can ovarian cysts interfere with anything, or perhaps egg production? --They can interfere with egg release....you don't "produce" eggs. You are born with all the eggs you are ever going to have (men on the other hand produce sperm constantly)

3: is a very light reddish/brown discharge for 2 weeks in place of a normally heavy period normal? --No, you should go see your doc.

Answer 4

I suggest seeing a doctor as soon as possible but until you're able to do so I would do some research on polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Basically, pcos just fools your body into thinking its pregnant. That's why you keep getting the symptoms but negative results.
