nc1998 - I didn't ovulate on 2.5mg, 5mg, or 7mg, ovulated on 10mg, then the next 10mg cycle I wouldn't have ovulated except that I added 12.5mg more later in the cycle, and then ovulated. My theory is that some women respond better to either clomid or femara, but not both. Have you tried clomid before? You were on a low dose of femara though, so maybe a higher dose will do the trick.

Thanks! FX. Yup... plan is no fluid after 8pm and try again tomorrow morning.

NC1998. Were you guys still DTD while waiting to O or did you not because you were waiting? Personally I get lazy sometimes and just keep waiting for the OPK. If AF doesn't show you may want to test to make sure that you didn't miss your LH and it actually did work. My RE told me that once it starts growing it usually doesn't stop. My first failed cycle I had nothing growing... tiny little 8mm ones that never got bigger.

Yes - we have BD'd approx every other day, mainly b/c I have a hard time concentrating my urine - pituitary problem - so I'm always afraid I will miss the LH surge b/c of that. The temps though haven't showed an O at all... but you are right, and I will definitely take a pg test before I take something to bring on AF just to be sure.

And can't wait to see your test tomorrow morning!!

Thanks! No - I haven't tried Clomid. I guess we'll see what the dr. wants to do - but it does seem like maybe a higher dose or trigger will be in order. When you didn't O, did you have to take something to bring on AF or did it come on its own?

I would use NPC (natural progesterone cream) for 5-10 days until I started bleeding. I typically brought it on after CD30..ish..

Well I ate some watermelon and mango for dinner so I wasn't even able to hold it all night. So not sure if that had something to do with it... but the dollar store one (fatter one) doesn't look any darker but the cheapie internet one does but still pretty faint. Hopefully this isn't a chemical in the making.

I was afraid to call the RE to say that I was testing this early (today's dpo 12) and assumed she would just tell me to wait until my period is actually due which is probably Friday or Saturday. Then it'll be the weekend... so I was planning on calling them Monday. Do you think I should tell them earlier?

How are you feeling these days MK? Hopefully all the morning sickness stuff is over!

I am feeling pretty awesome right now I have to say LOL thanks for asking. I am thankful I had the scan at 13 weeks cuz I wouldn't believe i was pregnant if had not done it. The only physical difference is I am maternity pants, as my jeans got really uncomfortable. I have only gained about 2lbs which is great i am a plus size girl so I wanted to manage my weight gain the best I could. I am excited to be excited about this pregnancy, I have my UC Baby on May 15 to find out the gender, I dont care either way boy or girl....just want to know who it is I am carrying about LOL.

Ms. Shortie - those are definitely positive!! I would call your RE and ask them if you can come in for a blood test. If you get in today or tomorrow, then you can go back in on Monday for a repeat to see how the levels are rising. Hoping it sticks!!!!

MK - I'm so glad you're feeling so well!! Hopefully you'll be feeling those flutters soon so you can feel pregnant again.

I can't believe you've only gained 2 pounds - that amazing!! I've gained 2 pounds already and it's freaking me out!! I started this pregnancy at the weight I was when I was 8 months pregnant with my son.

I don't want to gain more than 15 pounds - MAX!! But I'm not willing to sacrifice making sure this babe gets everything it needs, so I'm not sure how to go about keeping my weight in check seeing as I'm not puking this time around.... which of course is awesome!!!
