33 1/2, ttc #1.

For those on clomid has anyone had a stranger than usual reaction after a drink?

I had 2 drinks with dinner last night...sangria of all things and I feel like I drank a thousand beers. Hubby said I passed out when we got home. Then this morning I feel like complete crap! I'm starting to wonder if they laced it with something lol
 
NDurham - thank you for the info on the 90 day egg health article. I looked it up and it's very interesting. I might give it a try if my FSH levels come back low.

Mintastic - I was on Nuvaring for 3 years and on and off the pill for 8 years before that. I loved the Nuvaring when I was on it but since I've been off I've had brown spotting for 3-5 days before af every month. My af has also been much lighter and mostly brown (sorry for tmi) and much shorter. This never happened to me when I got off the pill before. I always bounced back with a regular text book red flow af with no spotting so I'm afraid Nuvaring may have messed me up. Either that or I'm just getting old and my body's changing.

MnG - I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I don't have any experience with Clomid yet so I can't offer advice on your reaction. Hope you feel better soon!

I hope everyone's having a nice week so far. Af came on Tuesday for me so I had my CD 3 bloodwork done today and my HSG is scheduled for next week. Today is my Friday so I'm going to try and enjoy my weekend and not think about TTC for the time being. Have a great weekend ladies!
 
Joy - That's true - I guess it is hard to know if the cycle changes are from nuvaring or just aging.
Good luck with your tests and happy weekend!

Hey MnGmakes3 I never drank while on clomid so I'm not very sure. I would say to try your best to stay away from alcohol.

So two days of lower temps. I'm at the re waiting to complete my 20 day bloodwork. Hopefully it's high as I've been taking my progesterone suppositories every night.
 
What are you ladies up to this weekend?

H and I will be doing a relaxing river float tomorrow with friends and family. .but if we're not home early enough I'm afraid we might miss the O window :-/

Oh I definitely wasn't drinking during it. I finished my last pill last wk and those were the only 2 I've had in quite some time. I'm thinking it was just a combination of the cold meds I was on.

Oh ok. That makes more sense. Cold medicine is usually pretty strong.
 
Attention whore: I have a positive opk when I got home from work. Time to exchange the spackle and paintbrush for preseed and my husband! :happydance:

That is all. You may commence your Friday eve lol
 
I also wanted to say that I have been living in my New York City bubble where people get married later (if at all) and have their first babies at 40. I really thought I was right on track or even ahead of the game being under 35.
Spending time on these boards (aside from this thread of course :) )and reading up on TTC and fertility has made me feel very old and behind on the game. :(

Wow.... 40. Really? I too feel old.
 
Yeah. My mom (from NY) had me at 38. I have 2 friends here who had their first at 40 and each had their seconds shortly after, as well as another friend who had her second in her early 40s. No clue if/what interventions they may have had to use though. And many friends here are my age and planning to have kids but don't seem to be in any hurry.

That gives me hope even with my low reserves. ....
 
Hi friends. Just checking in. The truth is, I keep up with most of the thread but usually from my phone and it is frustrating to try to sign in and type on that thing!

The move is complete and we spent the last two days with roofers here. It is so loud! I'm pretty tired of the banging but glad to finally have a new roof. Yay!

I go to meet my new OB in our new city on Tuesday I'm excited and so nervous too. I m so ready to hear that heartbeat and terrified that it won't be there. Ahhhh...so many emotions.

Really glad to see all the new folks here.

Hey there imphope! New roof huh... yeah that's always pretty loud. They are building three new houses next to me and the noise from the roof is usually the loudest.

Try not to stress about the lime to much. Relax relax relax. Fx everything will be fine next week.
 
I'm so heartbroken I don't know what to do anymore. H has performance anxiety. It works sometimes and other times not so much. He gets himself all worked up to the point where for he just can't keep it up for a few days...no matter what we try :cry:
We've been to a urologist and his primary and they all tell him it's in his head. He's even tried viagra and cialis...They don't work.
With the clomid we were supposed to make sure to bd on cd14. That was yesterday. We tried for 3 days and nothing.
I feel like the clomid was just a waste now and really don't want to try again next month.

With that said I'll be wishing you all lots of luck on your journey girls. Sending lots of baby dust your way. :hugs:

Mags.
 
MnG - that's rough sorry. It must be so frustrating to miss your fertile window like that - especially since you took the clomid. :(

We don't have that issue but hubs fell asleep before me last night when we should have BDd and wouldn't wake up. So I am frustrated just by that even.

Could you go to a psychologist/psychiatrist? If you live in a big city you can even find one that specializes in sexual issues.
 
Wow. I'm so glad that we have a place to talk about this stuff.

Dh has the exact same issue. I can't even bring up anything about ttc or being in the fertile window. If i do, he totally can't finish.

He also says it's in his head . He has to be mentally relaxed to completely enjoy and finish. I thought saying let's make a baby would be sexy and appealing. ... nope. Total turn off for him. I was crushed. And of course. ... he's very good at deflecting his issues onto me, and tried to make me feel like I was the one that's weird or has the issue. It wasn't until coming here that I realized that it was more him then me.

The exact same thing happened with us when I was on clomid. I didn't tell him (as I knew better) and when the time came, he only finished maybe once.

That was 6 months ago, so now I'm more able to handle the emotions of the disappointment of his performance. I can talk better and not be an emotional ball of jibberish and feel like giving up.

He made an "A+" on his sa so I use that to say, ok...I've done my part now it's time for you to put that a+ to work, to give him a heads up.

Another thing I tried this last cycle was to get dolled up but with just house clothes on. He reacted instantly.

Coaching him through his is actually the most difficult part of ttc. But I will also say that it is giving me great insight to him and how to manipulate his mind to do what I need him to do. Heheh

I was just looking around on ff and notice that our fertility probability was never high. Just either good or low. And even the good isn't fully accurate as I put bd even if he never finished.

This is another reason I want to take a break from the ttc. We need some time to :sex: without any stress, expectations or limitations. I also plan on the both of us doing a cleanse.

Here's :dust: to us and our stressed out dh.
