And year number 4 of trying begins...

[Dini]

9dpo here! Only JUST started getting sore boobs. I think I had a mental block on it until I had ovulation confirmed.

That is so funny! I know what you mean!

I am 3 dpo today, and only symptoms is sore nipples, which I had last time long before O, so weird I guess but I am glad because it makes it easier not to symptom spot lol.

Moondance, I am hoping your fatigue is a good sign!

haleiwamama - We also can't BD often because of our schedules so it makes it that much harder! And I've also been avoiding my friend with kids and I hate that I do but all think about when we are together is how much I want what they have, and I know I shouldn't be envious but it's totally uncontrollable!

 

[Moondance]

I'm on 8dpo.
Yesterday I had cramping. Would be nice if it was implantation.

Today I'm in the Salvation Army 2nd hand shop... and I can't walk around for more than 2 minutes. I have to keep sitting down. And having hot flashes. Wtf.
I also feel a bit dizzy and weak.

 

[Moondance]

I get sore boobs without fail every time I ovulate. Within about ten minutes of feeling the ovulation pain, my nipples start getting that tingly, pins and needley type feeling.
After a day or so they start full bore hurting. They're hurting way more than usual

Fingers crossed for you Moondance! That sounds really good!

I didn't get any sore boobs/nipples after ovulation this month until yesterday at around 9dpo, which really made me nervous that I hadn't O'd. Obviously I have though, because I got a really faint BFP last night, and two again this morning!

Oh congrats honey!!!!! I'm so pleased for you!!!!
Off to get blood tests with you!!
Praying that its a sticky bean for you!!!


Do clomid side effects only last as long as you're TAKING the clomid? Or in the 2ww would you get side effects?

I've spent tonight feeling gassy n nauseous. Hmmmm...
But I think too early to test

Wow BFP's!! Good for you!! Can't wait to hear your beta numbers!!

Moondance, the clomid side effects vary from each person but my hot flashes last up until AF arrives it seems. Your fatigue sounds promising though. I have been pretty tired myself, even took a 3 hour nap on Tuesday which is not me. But it's awfully early to have symptoms for me, I think it's the trigger shot causing it for me.

I really feel out this cycle, not sure why, maybe just feeling negative because I've seen others on here who's DH's SA are slightly better than ours and their RE recommended IVF with ICSI, so makes me feel like there is no chance with the IUI...

 

[Moondance]

Last night I had issues eating dinner.... I had to plaster everything in salt because everything tasted sweet. The pumpkin, the lamb, the gravy.... I don't even like lamb!!!
My best friend is trying to say she thinks I am.... But no proof til next week. When period either arrives..... Or doesn't

 

[Dini]

All sounds like good symptoms so fx'd for you!!

 

[Moondance]

I'm thinking I'm out for the count.... My breasts have lost sensitivity for no good reason.... So... Yeah... Surely they'd get MORE sore if I was pregnant?

 

[Dini]

Don't count yourself out until AF gets you girl, I've heard lots of ladies say they had no symptoms at all and still get a bfp.

 

[Moondance]

Yeah true.
Should have just POAS this morning with my huge morning wee. I found a hpt in the kitchen last night. No idea where it came from.....

 

[Dini]

Still have fx'd for you.

 

[Moondance]

Thanks Dini.
I actually think that what causes my boobs to hurt is the rise in progesterone after ovulation. So the fact that my boobs hurt less means estrogen is winning and AF will show up on Wednesday as expected.

 

[Dini]

Lol, you sound like me, always analyzing things...

My breasts aren't as sore as they were yesterday, but I'm trying not to think about it. If we could get a BFP this cycle it'd be a miracle, since we can't afford another round and I know my doc won't let me do an unmonitored clomid cycle, especially since this one was so difficult. We will keep trying even without the meds but since my chances of ovulating on my own are about 5% or less and DH has morphology issues, the chances per cycle are about 2-3% lol, almost pointless.

I'm hoping if this cycle doesn't cut it, that we will just take February off, and maybe March depending on the length of my next cycle because I'm hoping to go to Florida with DH's family the first week of April.

 

[Moondance]

Taking a break is always good. Give yourself a new take on things and come back stronger and fresher.

Today I feel on and off light headed, naueous, tummy pains, bad back pain...

 

[Moondance]

At least there's one thing Dini... You know why you're not getting pregnant, or haven't been able to thus far. I don't have a clue.
It's actually really doing my head in, I'm trying so hard, wanting it so much. But the partner just cruises along, ladida... It's all good, if it happens it happens.
I wish I could be so zen about it.
But I know he wants it as bad as I do.

And good god my back hurts right now.
I never get back pain before AF, so this is confusing....

 

[Moondance]

Still randomly symptomatic....

My boobs only hurt if I touch my nipples, but otherwise I'm nauseous on and off, overheating, really bad back pain, pissing like a race horse (this morning I urinated for 56 seconds straight), feel kinda dopey in the brain pan....
Everything points to pregnant.
Tomorrow is my last day of literal phase, AF is due the day after.
But the fact I randomly found a pregnancy test in my house that I have no idea where it came from, makes me think I should test. But I'm loathe to use a test when AF is due the next day.

 

[Dini]

You are a strong girl waiting to test but guess if AF is due tomorrow you should test tomorrow if she doesn't show. Sure does sound like pregnancy symptoms though so I'll be thinking of you!

 

[Moondance]

Tested today after dreaming about a BFP.
Got a BFN.

 

[Dini]

Well damn! I'm still hoping you get a bfp. I'm sorry Hun.
