Trying time

Hi ladies! How long did it take you to conceive? How long were you trying till it finally happened? I have endometriosis (went for an operation for it a few months ago) and wondered if that could affect my chances of conceiving and time it will take to conceive...

I was actually told that I have 2 blood clotting deficiencies so I have to (Now that I'm pregnant) take a lovenox shot every night so my baby doesn't get a blood clot on the feeding tube, or elsewhere. Due to that I was told it may be harder to concieve, but it turns out I was pregnant while talking to my OB that day, ah the irony to it! We were trying for maybe 3 months, perhaps 4

If you have one try taken an in haler or breathing treatment. Also you are aloud to take robitussion just make sure on the bottle is says no alchol. That helps lovely also. Or you can try hot tea mixed with lemon and honey sounds off but trust me it does its magic. I was like that for servel weeks when I was around 13 14 weeks and it was the worse feeling I'd get tothe point where I'd cough so much it would lead to throwing up. But if you have more then one hospital in your area try going to a different hospital because that's what I had to do. I just keep gling back and forth and Finally I found a Dr who was way more caring about pregnant women then others he tried and ran every test he could to figure out was wrong. And then finally prescribed me a cough medicine codiene. Just keep trying to get better don't settle for a no answer or no help from a doctor.

I am now 36 weeks + 3 days. We've been trying for over 3 years. I've been diagnosed with PCOS and insuline resistance, sent to the fertility clinic, tried all kinds of treatments - nothing worked. Then I stopped all treatments because they made me feel horrible most of the times and we completely changed our life style, we both lost significantly a lot of weight (weren't obese before, just overweight) and started doing regular ovulation tests. After another 6 months when we were already sure we'll never make it I got a positive result on the home test. I've had an absolutely easy pregnancy so far, except for excessive tests and ultrasounds and panic attacks thanks to my doctors (who are overly cautious with my pregnancy - they were sure I won't succeed without IVF) - they were sure I'll have complications like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia etc. At 31 weeks I was almost admitted to the hospital to induce the labor - but finally all tests came back perfect.

I am 27 weeks pregnant as of last friday, and I have been sick for about a week and a half now. I've been coughing non stop and the excessive coughing has caused a strain in my back. I can barely walk. I've been to the hospital but they wouldn't give me a cough suppressant, I need some kind of remedy because the coughing needs to cease. Please help.

We tried for 2 months both pregnancies gave up and conceived on the 3rd. I'm very impatient lol but I'd say trying was stressing me out so deciding to just let it be was less stressful and well and be hold it was the next month. Maybe a coincidence, I don't know :)
