2014-2015 baby club!

[Jannah K]

Hello lovely ladies.
I am sorry to not message earlier. Clomid is making me cranky, tired, bloated and giving bad headaches. 4th pill today. Will start be this weekend every other day until next weekend. Hope I o on this thing by next week.
Phoenix like everyone saying. You sound promising. Stay calm & try to relax. You can test on Sunday day after missed period

Nanninnoo glad u didn't try anti epileptic med. They are awful. I do research on kids with epilepsy. Poor outcomes! How many days are you post o?

RCP & tatemp: what's new?

 

[Rcp925]

Jannah-I'm sorry the clomid is making you feel shitty but it's all for a good cause. And you're out of that wacky cycle you had. Hoping for good news this month for you. I have a good feeling!

Phoenix- you can test before af is due but just remember that a lot of false negatives happen before af. If there is a bfn it may be a bfp the day after your af is due.

Nanninoo-sheesh, these migraines sound just awful for you! I hope the doc gets your meds all straightened out. Have you looked into what you eat and how some highly inflammatory foods can cause migraines? My dad had really awful ones all his life until he changed his diet. Now he gets them very rarely, maybe a few times a year where it used to be a few times a month. Just something to look into as it's all natural and doesn't require a prescription. hope you find something soon that helps.

I'm doing fine. 6dpo today and I'm really telling myself there's just no way this month. Noticed my boobs are sore and I honestly can't remember if they get this sore a full 8-9 days before af. I made a note of it and will pay more attention next cycle to see if it's the same.

On a different note, has anyone seen that discovery channel documentary called the great sperm race?? I think that's the name. You can find it on YouTube and it is hilarious!! Extremely informative and I learned a lot I didn't know before, but I laughed my ass off at it. Very entertaining. You should all check it out. Haha!

That's all for me! Sorry I just wrote a book

Ciao!!

Hey everyone

Jannah I'm sorry you feeling so rotten - hopefully this is your month so you can stop them!!

RCP and Tatemp how are you feeling?

Nanninoo omg I almost fell out of bed this am my temp was 36.62!!
That's a good sign right? After o it rose to a max of 36.61 then it dropped off a bit and then rose again, omg I feel sick
I know it doesn't mean I am but surely this is a good sign if your temp rise happens twice after o? Xx I'm guessing it could be a rogue reading?

 

[Nanninoo]

Tatemp thanks hunny I hope it works too.

Phoenix so it was 36.62 that would be around 97.91f is a nice high reading for someone close to when af would show I have a feeling it's your month I'm so hoping it is hunny fingers crossed!

Jannah sorry clomid isn't making you feel too good hope you feel better soon, I'm currently 5dpo as of today.

RCP yes hun they are awful I've tried loads of things even swapping my diet and changing my lifestyle to no effect my doctor thinks my triggers are a bunch of things including certain smells and sunlight! Yes sunlight of all things... just praying this new medication works.

[Rcp925]

Hmm...well, ladies, my body is playing mean tricks on me. Mean, mean, mean. My boobs are SORE now. They were sore yesterday but they're even worse today. Unbelievable. I think this is my mind/body just playing tricks. It hurts to lie on my stomach, even. And walking.

...It's not possible, right? Someone help me keep my expectations low, please. I was all fine a week+ ago when dh got sick and I thought "well, we're out this month". But then I ovulated 4 days sooner and now this. I just want af to come so I can work on next month. Any advice??

Hope everyone is doing well. Give updates! How's it going Phoenix?? Nanninoo-any progress? Tatemp and jannah?

 

[Jannah K]

Hey rcp
U r in it till AF doesn't show. When is AF due? Also it only takes one sperm. I watched sperm race with hubby last night....it gave him better idea about timing and reproduction.
Don't go by the signs unless u miss AF. I had nausea dizzy spells bloated backache but no bfp. When AF came I was shattered...

I am done my pills!! Done AF!! Back to bd. We started tonight and will continue every other day till opk +ve.

I hope we all get bfp in march

 

[Rcp925]

Yes. Thank you. I needed someone to snap me out of it. Haha! Af is due in 7 days. I fully expect to see her and then get my April bd'ing under way. Good luck, jannah! This could be your month! Sperm race was really interesting, right?

 

[Jannah K]

Sperm rate was interesting. Learn a lot!
Good luck RCP

 

[Phoenix82]

RCP don't worry hun we all do it. Wait till AF doesn't show then test - fingers crossed.

Jannah good luck this cycle huni (yeay off the pills)

Update from me - I am actually going insane!! Fact
My temp is still 36.60 and bfn, AF is due mon so don't know what I should do now.
I'm guessing if I was preggo I would know by now. I'm not sure when my temp would drop if AF was coming? Anyone know?
I know I've had 2 temp rises which is a good sign but surely I'd've had a BFP if thus was my month.

I don't know what to think xx

Phoenix your not out yet hunny, I've seen people's fertility friend graphs on the gallery section and seen them get bfn's even upto 13/14dpo then the next day BFP so it is still possible I would wait until Monday if that's when af is due and test again keep tracking them temps but your certaininly not out yet x

 

[Nanninoo]

Rcp like jannah said it only takes one sperm and your symptoms sound good fingers crossed!

Jannah good luck with bd'ing hun x

 

[Phoenix82]

Thanks hun, I don't know what I'd do without you ladies xxx

Randomly lying on my tum is incomfortable at the mo and if moving/twisting my tum it's felt strange.
Low down tummy ache, like a poorly tum not AF like, had a sharp pain in my boob/nipple and then my hip - one offs tho
I guess it could be AF - especially as I've had bfn so far.
Shame - I wanted my bfp for the weekend so I knew I couldn't drink at a party but what's the chances, I bet I'm not and I could have!

Oh well at least the sun is shining xx

 

[Jannah K]

Phoenix: I hope you get bfp. My twin sis never showed +ve urine test on both her pregnancies. She missed period & got blood test done. She had cramps & twinges like you. My fingers crossed for you!
I am just anxiously waiting for +be opk. Sperm race video helped hubby understand the complexity. He understands now why we need to bd so much during the week lol hope that gives me bfp as I am relaxed this time.
I have been working out too since January 4times a week so hoping that will help too. With that said since fertile period around corner, I will not do intense workout.
I am taking robitisson too to increase cm since clomid dries cm. Also using per seed.
Anxiously waiting to hear bfp stories from you girls. Xoxo

 

[Jannah K]

I have been temping this cycle. I want to load my chart here so you all can see..I don't know how to do that
Also my temps are all over...

 

[Jannah K]

Naninnoo: how is migraine?
Clomid made me tired , hot flashes and headaches. I was wondering are you able to tell while on clomid which ovary working or which tube release egg?

 

[Phoenix82]

Hey Jannah

I'm glad the oh is more on side this month. One less thing to stress you out
I hope this is your turn - I'll keep everything crossed for you huni xxx

Ohhh so your a twin (maybe you'll have twins) yeah I've heard some people don't get a + I think I'm just conscious of getting hopes up when I keep getting a bfn. I don't think I'll believe it when it actually happens (fingers crossed it does) cxxx

 

[Nanninoo]

Jannah - when you are at your chart, looking at it, at the top right it says "shareing" click that and a drop down menu will come up and then it will say "charting home page" and under it click "get code" then copy and paste the link under "bbcode" in your signature and click save! That will show your fertility friend chart

Regarding ovulation I didn't feel which side I was ovulating from just experienced intense cramping...

Phoenix- fingers crossed all these symptoms are signs of good things to come x

 

[Nanninoo]

Well I think I'm out this month I thought it may have been my month as well so I'm gutted my temp has dropped below my cover line (same as pre-ovulation) I'm cd25/dpo7 so may be a sign af is coming sooner than I thought usually not expected till cd28/31 and if af does show earlier then that means my luteal phase is incredibly short as I didn't ovulate until cd18/19! Will see what tomorrow's temp brings but I'm convinced af is around the corner as also woke this morning with af type cramps x

 

[Phoenix82]

Nanninoo poor you - I hoped it was your month too.
Let us know how your temps look today you are not out until the shows up.

Stupid question what's your cover line in lay mans terms? This temping thing is losing me and I only started temping part way through my cycle.

I'm fed up now, bfn and I think I'm 13/14 dpo surely it would show by now??? Also my temp today has confused me.

So as I understand it, the earlier you test in the am the lower your bbt will be after o, if you test in the pm it's likely to be lower again? You need 3/4 hours of rested sleep for accurate readings?

I've slept for 2.5 hours, then slept 4 then temped. My temps have been ok but today I woke every 2 hours, I test roughly 30-1h earlier then normal and I was 0.03 of a degree under yesterday's temp (but I did a lil experiment yesterday which showed earlier then my normal testing time was out by up to 0.20 of a degree) so today I tested after another 2 hours sleep and got 36.82 - now I'm lost - I'm expecting AF to come and to be one of those people who don't get a temp dip

 

[Tatemp]

Hi Phoenix you should try to temp at the same time every day after after at least 4 hours of sleep. After o your temperature rises at least 0.3 degrees and stays high until AF arrives. If you have a chart of your cycle from AF to the next AF you can draw a horizontal line between your pre and post o temps, this is called the coverline. With me my temps stay above the coverline until CD1, sometimes even CD2. So most of the times I get AF prior to a temp dip, don't count yourself out before AF shows up.

Nanninoo I got all excited after seeing your chart and then I read you were down. Well you shouldn't be yet, cause a dip at 7DPO may mean implantation. It does happen on non pregnant charts as well, but occurs more often on pregnancy charts. Fertility Friend has done some research on this, here are there results:

• 11% of charts that showed ovulation but did not result in a pregnancy displayed this pattern.

• 23% of charts that showed ovulation and did result in a pregnancy showed this pattern.

• Of the pregnancy charts that showed this pattern, the most likely days for the dip to occur were between 7 and 8 days past ovulation.

I think this means that two thirds of the charts that showed this pattern, resulted in a pregnancy (not sure if my calculations are correct here, can any of you verify this?). Whatever it is, the odds are in your favor
For more information, just search for implantation dip.

RCP, you never know. Maybe the not expecting it part makes you relaxed enough to make it happen. At least that's what everyone keeps saying, relax and it will happen.

Jannah were in the same boat this cycle, I'm CD8. Going to start BD every other day till temp rise.

to all of us. It would be awesome if we all got our BFP's around the same time, would love to be bump buddies with you girls.
