redmonkey - welcome to the 2ww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May - nope... stopped the baby aspirin

So after much discussion last night about Pregnitude... We decided that we are going to skip it and go straight to the clomid. I also found out the reason why my doctor is on the proactive side is that I already have had 1 child therefore it should not be that hard to have a second. I have an appointment on Monday morning to see what needs to be done to get me started. Still no + OPK. WTF. I am hoping that I will go to the doc on Monday and they will take my blood and all of that mumbo jumbo and then I will not fill the script... and get a BFP! Yeah? That is the best idea I have had all day- nevermind that it is only 9:37

Joanna - that IS a great Idea!!!!! hope all goes well!

Congrats on the BFP Babee!!

May- I totally think you should try the relaxed approach. I never temped I feel like that must add so much more stress!!! You willl get your BFP soon!

AFM holy crap I am so tired that I didnt go to work today because I just could not get myself moving!!! Having little bouts of nausea here and there but nothing crazy. Still CRAZY HUNGRY all the time!!

The control freak in me won't let me try the relaxed approach. I am going to "try" and hold out on testing. My DH is about to hide all the HPTs from me.

Jaime - Any reason why you stopped the Aspirin?

Joanna - It's going to happen for you soon. I know it! How does the doctor determine if Clomid is suitable for you? I went to a gyno one time and asked her about it. She said she refuses to prescribe it to anyone unless detail blood work, U/S and everything is done to make sure it's an ovulation issue. I need to find a new gyno.

May - I was just taking the aspirin to promote healthy ovulation... I wasn't sure if I needed it during pregnancy and it was kinda harsh on my stomach

 

[Sunny skies]

Well girls I've skipped SMEP ing as somehow I'm pregnant straight after our loss, without a AF happy scared and nervous all rolled into one lol..

I got BFP yesterday on my birthday

Congratulations, what an amazing birthday present.

Well since the relaxed approach has been working so well for so many, I think I'm going to pass on the OPK this month and just BD as planned. With my new position, I've been so busy and don't want to have the added stress. Hoping it works for me.

 

[jrowenj]

good idea, jannette!

Congrats Babee!!!! Wow that was quick!!!

Amy I hope your sickness is a very good sign!

May honestly nothing is happening in your body at 3 dpo, even if the egg got fertilised it wont impact on progesterone - progesterone is the thing that makes your temp rise. So dont stress!!!!

Jaime I wondered about the baby aspirin - will google it as I am taking it, an quite frankly cant be arsed if I dont need to! I am taking so many frigging tablets (prenatals & then 4 Vit B6 tablets & the baby aspirin - it does become a chore!) I only took 1 b6 and folic acid last time, so am going to keep up with the whole prental thing this time!

Gemma - Feeling any different yet?

The reason my OBGYN starts with clomid is because esp in my case I have stoooopid long cycles and no F-ing clue about O. But from what I understand it is pretty standard to start there BEFORE testing esp if you already have a child. There are a lot of insurance providers that do not cover infertility. Clomid is actually prescribed for many other things so it is covered. The stats for clomid is that it helps 80% of women conceive. That being said it makes it a cheap jumping off point. If that does not work then she will begin testing and other treatment that may cost a boat load.

Jess I just feel nauseous when I get hungry and feel nauseous when I wake up...so I just get up and have tea and breakfast and its not too bad. The nausea is NOTHING compared to last time yet, its only slight, but its only early & I am taking alot of B6 which is said to help. I was really hungry last night and ate my homemade soup, a whole plat bread garlic bread with cheese, then really wanted chocolate! So had a little bit of chocolate & finished off OH pop corn chicken from KFC!

MrsJ was it you saying a few days ago you feel like you should be able to have a baby naturally without clomid? I was thinking about this....I dont think I would care, I say to hell with it if you need a kick start. Unfortunatley these losses seem to screw with our system. A friend I made on the 2nd tri loss section had CRAZY cycles, she just got AF after 66 days, and I think the one the time before last was even longer. She already has 3 kids (+ her angel), so I think it just goes to show that these losses fuck up our bodies even if you have been able to produce in the past. Keep the faith hun, get the clomid and get preggers!!!! Really hope it helps kick start things for you!x

[redmonkeysock]

Hey all!

Loving the doggie pic! Verrrry cute!

Ladies I have a question....as I mentioned before we did the semi SMEP this month but now I'm panicking that it is not enough since we missed out a night DH doesn't know we are SMEPping as he thought it sounded a bit clinical so here's what happened:


AF stopped on 27th April
OV came early (earlier than any of my cycles pre MC) on CD 11. We got medium readings on the CBFM on

CD 7-CD 9

Then peak on CBFM on

CD 10
CD 11

Then back to medium on CBFM on CD 12

And back to low on CD 13

We BD'd on:
CD 3
CD 5
CD 7
CD 10
CD 11
CD 12

Now that is a lot of BD *around* the right time but I'm freaking out because we missed BD on CD 9....I know I'm worrying about nothing....probably.

Urgh!

THIS IS THE TORTURE OF THE TWW!!!!

Also, because I O'd earlier than normal (used to O on CD 15) does my test date/AF become 14 days from O day or 28 days from my last bleed?

I feel like a stupid naive teenager when it comes to this stuff I'm frickin clueless!!

Thanks in advance

 

[jrowenj]

Red- your bd sched looks promising!

Ps where is everyone?!

 

[Jessica28]
