30 something and TTC #1 for a year

[MrsPTTC]

Ha ha, lucky mascot! Bless, thanks Broody! how's you? x

 

[aleja]

hey ladies,
Delilah, thanks for popping in. GL on your delivery. Can't believe it is so soon. Very exciting times aheadx

hi snowflakes, thanks for joining in. GL with the clomid. I am doing this soon too

Mrs P, please hang around we will miss you if you leave us

Mk besides the frustrations with your clinic ,its great to hear about your good results. Must be a huge relief. I am glad delilah is able to share some good news stories about AMH

 

[mk8]

Aleja, I completely missed that- you're going on clomid? why? No injectables?

 

[aleja]

hey mk, yes during my next FET cycle i am taking clomid btw day 2-6
I have never done this....does it make your OV happen earlier?

 

[MrsG2010]

MrsP - Would love for you to stick around and keep us updated.

welcome snowflakes!

hello delilah! thanks for stopping by. We love hearing updates.

hello to everyone else. just a quick update. I had my "day 21" blood drawn yesterday. nurse called and told me my progresterone was excellent at 32.8. Now we wait....

Mrs. G - That is a great progesterone level. Mine with the medications are usually around 20ish. Best of luck to you!

Aleja - If you take it earlier you will OV earlier. I have never done CDF2-CD6. But if I take it CD3-CD7 - I usually OV on CD14 - I just took it CD5-CD9 this time and I think I just OV'd yesterday on CD17!

Getting Broody - I am in my 4th cycle of Clomid. I have been getting monitored with my OBGYN. I am finally taking the plunge to the RE - it will be my 1st appt. I can't wait to get new plan of action. I am ready to be aggressive. Although, I have been having a hard time accepting the fact that I have some issues that require a specialist.

MrsPTTC - Congrats girl. Hope you have a nice and smooth pregnancy. My current OBGYN believes in LPD. However, when I presented my charts and concerns to my old OBGYN - she is convinced that EVERYONE has a 14 day LP and that my charts were wrong. She also believed that I was getting + OPK's after I OV'd!! Even though my OPK's and temp shift coincided together and told another story. I left her after I heard her say those things. So not true!!!

MK8 - Yea, I think I have always had a Progesterone issue and got lucky that one time and it resulted in MC. I keep trying to tell myself that if I did it once - I can do it again! It's hard to stay positive some days though.

 

[mk8]

Fingers crossed Mrsg!!! So they test your prog to ensure you have enough to sustain a preg I assume? Wishing you all the best!

Aleja- yup it should make u ov earlier. But why do they want you to do that? My friend had a successful fet- will txt her to see what she did. Come on frozen eggy!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Aleja, clomid does tend to make you O earlier, though not always. My cycles were shorter on clomid. Unlike snowflake though I found that it didn't matter when I took it, I was supposed to take it CD2-6 but also took it 3-7 & 4-8, last cycle when I got my BFP I took it 3-7.

MrsG brill news on your progesterone levels!

Thanks very much snowflake. Your obgyn had crazy theories, I had friends whose drs said the same thing! I wasn't quite sure about my FS & actually dislike the guy (in fact I think MK nicknamed him Dr Knob!) however he was right about me in the end so I guess I have him to thank. I honestly thought it would take IUI or IVF to get me my BFP!

Hi, I hope you don't mind that I joined this group. I am 32, from Ontario, Canada. I am TTC #1 and am on cycle #3. I've been reading all the back posts but I think I'm finally caught up. Some of the other threads make me feel so old, like I waited way too long to get started on TTC. But it's really encouraging to see people having success who are the same age. It's very cool reading all the past messages, but then already seeing the positive outcome in people's signatures.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Aw welcome Crystal! :wave: Can't believe you read it all back, all 227 pages! We're not old just sensible & waited til we were ready . I still feel 21 sometimes, or maybe 25, I was so young at 21! Good luck with your TTC journey x

 

[crystal8]

I know that technically I'm posting in the wrong thread. But I just was really inspired today reading through the thread. So thanks again.

 

[MrsG2010]

Welcome. Crystal.

Nothing new here. Just weird pulling feeling/twinge. Making me crazy.

 

[GettingBroody]

Welcome Crystal!! I can't believe you read the whole thread! Must have taken you all day!

MrsG - great news on your prog level! Fx'd!

MrsP - I'm doing fine thanks. All this waiting has become like second nature at this stage!

Snowflake - scary how uninformed some drs are!! Good luck with our RE. I know what you mean about being ready to start on aggressive treatment. We are having IVF/ICSI soon and it can't come quick enough! (well actually it could have happened this month but I had holidays booked that I didn't want to cancel!)

Aleja - that's interesting about you staring clomid. Whats the reason for it?

 

[aleja]

Hey gals..... I was giggling when DR Knob was mentioned in the end he had the right idea !!!

MrsG the suspense must be killing you... I too am hanging out for your POAS as maybe we can't make it 2 bfp this month

Thanks ladies for the advice about clomid .. Broody I have no idea why the FS wants me to take it.... I guess because my last monitoring showed I wasn't going to ovulate early enough for their liking which lead to my FET being cancelled. FS wanted me to have a natural FET so using Clomid is the next step up. To be honest I just want to be in with a chance to have the FET..I dont care what meds he gives me now!!

Mk thanks for offering to ask your friend

Hi Crystal Awww thanks for reading through the posts. We gals have stuck together for a long time now and it's nice to have a little cheer squad during the highs and lows. Hope you won't need > 12 months to fall preggers x

 

[MrsPTTC]

Aleja it sounds to me that the clomid is a good idea and ha ha yes Dr Knob was right!

Used my last digi this morning, was expecting 2-3 but it's jumped right up to 3+!

[MrsPTTC]

Here's my test photos in date order and every 2 days, I'm a POAS-a-holic!

[MrsG2010]

Yay MrsP you have a ticker!! I love tickers!!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Ha ha yes I know I eventually got one on! Makes it even more real . MrsG how many DP IUI are you? x

 

[aleja]

MrsP, yep based on the POAS addiction you are most certainly pregnant!!
The ticker is gorgeous....it is so exciting for both of you. When your first official BT and ultrasound?

Broody when does your holiday start??

I am still waiting for AF but I think I am going to start taking the provera tonight or tomorrow. I have had enough of waiting.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Hope AF comes soon for you Aleja! Let's get this show on the road!

Is BT blood test? Not sure if we get them over here to confirm pregnancy, they seem very common in other countries though. I might be wrong though. Midwife will be calling next week to arrange her first appt & FS should also be returning my call to book in for the scan which should be around 2 weeks time . I feel like crap today, throat is on fire, hope I'm not coming down with something x
