I don't really have many symptoms. I'm stupidly tired, odd bouts of nausea and sore boobs.

Happy Friday Ladies!!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Thank God for Friday! I am off and I haven't been able to sleep in and do absolutely nothing for a long time! I still have to work tomorrow but at least I am recuperating today. Have a nice weekend, ladies!

P.S. I still have not gotten a positive OPK!

Oh on a brighter note, I just checked with my insurance and they will cover the HSG. I only have to pay a copay of $150!

 

[Jessica28]

I made it to v-day!!!!

Hey Girls!!

I've got some catching up to do on this thread, studies have kept me busy this week! So happy it's a Friday!

I just wanted to say that I'm CD 19 (of an approximately 30-day cycle) and I NEVER got a positive on my OPK either!! I like to believe it was defective (hehe!). I stopped testing today because I forgot, but I'm pretty sure that day 19 is too late to ovulate anyways. I kind of think I ovulated around day 16. I was using the 1st Response Digitals. I'm not going to use that again!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Tasha - I normally O on CD 20 so day 19 is definitely not too late. In fact, I haven't O'ed this cycle yet and I am on day 23. Keep testing and don't miss an opportunity!

May - I bet you will get your + OPK today! I like that raise today! And yes, Clomid will move your OV up. They say if you don't OV within 10 days of your last pill then it didn't work for you. It depends on when they tell you to take it usually either CD3-CD7 so you would OV by CD17 but if you do CD5-CD9 then you would OV by CD19. Great news on the HSG costing $150 - jealous! That is awesome!

I was not happy with the new practice. I liked the OBGYN just not how busy the place was. I waited in 3 different waiting rooms. Outta control busy and it took 2 hours for just a simple talk with the Dr. I just don't like all that. So I went ahead and made another appt with the OBGYN practice where my OBGYN retired from with another Dr. I got Oct. 30. Oh well. I prolly should have done that to begin with.

 

[armymama2012]

Hey ladies,
How is everyone?

I'm sorry the place is so busy Lisa. I hope my favorite midwife back in IL doesnt retire anytime soon!

May, any update on the OPK? I still know you'll get a + OPK this cycle.

28329, how you feeling?

Krystina, how are you feeling?

 

[armymama2012]

Well I'm frustrated. Dh is refusing to buy me prenatals or fill any of my prescriptions that the ER or OBGYN give me. I'm sick of this!

 

[threemakefive]

Walmart has them for like three or four bucks army...maybe u could go get them

 

[armymama2012]

I would but DH has the car, my debit card, and all the cash.

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Lisa - I think I got my + OPK when I tested around lunch time today. I will confirm that with a digi later after I have built up enough pee (lol). I texted DH to come home as soon as he gets out of work so we can BD! Do you like your current OBGYN? If so, it might be worth the wait. I travel about 1 1/2 hour each way on the subway to see my GYN. She is the best I have seen so far so I don't mind the commute, although, I wish she was closer. I say go with whoever you are comfortable with. Good luck with the new OBGYN! Also, do you think I am a candidate for Clomid? I do O but late (usually around CD 20).

Army - Sorry DH is being a jerk. When is he coming home with the car?

What do you guys think of my temp rise? I tested last night at around 8pm and the OPK was negative. This morning my temp rose 1/2 a degree and my OPK was positive (I think) around noon. Do you think I already O'ed late last night or early this morning? Am I too late?

 

[armymama2012]

He gets home tomorrow morning.

I dont think you are too late but I'm not an expert on temps.

Tasha - I normally O on CD 20 so day 19 is definitely not too late. In fact, I haven't O'ed this cycle yet and I am on day 23. Keep testing and don't miss an opportunity!

WOHOOO!!!

I'm having really intense ovulation cramps...I wonder if it might be the first time that I'm ovulating since my miscarriage in July, I don't ever remember it hurting so much! I literally can't sit in certain positions, it winds me!

My prayers are with you May!!
Have fun!
