August 2017, Eclipse testers - 17 BFPs and counting

Good luck to all those getting their crosshairs!

Sorsha: sorry to hear AF got you too lets hope for May babies instead (yes I have already calculated due dates...).

Hee hee, yes, me too! I'd really love to have a spring baby, so I've got two more months to accomplish that. FX for both of us!

Sorry Sorsha . Was this your first month ttc?

Yep, this was our first month for #2. So it's not really surprising it didn't happen right away! I'm just a little anxious because for #1 it took 10 months from when we started trying (including a MC along the way) and now I'm past 35, so worried there might be more complications.

It also took us 10 months with #1 but then 1 month with mmc and 3 months with #2. On cycle 3 with #3 now. So you never know!

Sarah -- we have a 4 year old up at 6am here so yeah, I get ya with the no morning bd XD

Afm, Dr appt was pretty discouraging. She said even though I'm getting AF with my levels of estrogen it's unlikely I'm ovulating :/. I'm hoping she's just wrong since she's not a fertility specialist. She said if we try for a few more months not getting pregnant she'll investigate further.

Sorry to hear about your negative results. I am certainly no fertility expert, but I just looked at your FF charts and I wonder if it is possible to have +opk and a temp rise and not ovulate? To me it lookes like you ovulated both last cycle and this one...

hello ladies, mind if I join?

We've been trying for a while and had our first visit at the fertility clinic in June this year (they confirmed the PCOS my gynecologist suspected). I've ovulated on 50mg of clomid and we did an IUI to maximise chances this cycle.

Currently 14dpo. AF is supposed to show tomorrow. I wish so badly I could just test today, but my doctor prescribed me 3x 1500 HCG injections (3, 6 and 9 dpo) to support implantation. That HCG would lead to a (false-)positive test unless I wait until Sunday. Most of it shoudl be out of my system by Friday (from what I have calculated - any experience?), so I'm thinking I might test Friday morning if AF hasn't shown by then and if it's very faint I will just test again the next day.

Not giving up hope yet but I've been feeling like I'm getting slight period cramps since last night, so this might not be my lucky cycle

@reiko
my estrogen was low too and it turned out I have lean PCOS. In my case it meant I ovulate in some cycles, about 1/3 of them or so from what we know at this point. But a the smallest dosage of clomid was enough to fix things for me, so I'm hoping you will get an easy fix too!

Ummm....hey ladies.....

I got my BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[curiousowl]

Ricky, congrats!!!! And you were so down in your chart! That's amazing!

 

[curiousowl]

Reiko, see a fertility specialist. Your chart strongly suggests you are Oing, with multiple signs. My friend was told by a doctor that she was Oing too late in her cycle to get pregnant, despite her charts being fine. They wanted to give her Clomid when she'd only been trying for 2 months with no testing. I told her she shouldn't take it and she got pregnant the next cycle.

I am in shock ladies. The only reason I even tested was because my temp went up slightly, but mostly because I was planning to get the prescriptions for Femara and the antibiotic for the HSG filled today. I was so NOT expecting to see anything. Took the test, set a timer on my phone, and walked away.

When the timer went off, I went back to check it, and couldn't believe it. Literally pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Then stood there looking at myself in the mirror, hands over my face saying "That's a f'ing line. That's a f'ing line!!!!!". Then tried to decide how to tell DH. I had always wanted to come up with something cute, but I couldn't hold it in. Didn't want to let him go off to work without knowing. He was so cute, when I showed him the test he was like, "but the line is not very strong", and I had to explain that didn't matter, lol. I wanted to use the digi to tell him, but I didn't have any pee left and didn't want to waste it, lol. Then we just hugged and cried. Our dog was like wth is going on, lol. Took a second IC before I left for work to be sure, and there it was again. Going to take the digi tomorrow I think.

This month, in addition to temping and OPK's, I also added Fertilaid & Ovaboost. I can only imagine they had a lot to do with it, because they were the only thing I hadn't done before, and they made me ovulate early. I did change my diet slightly, reduced my gluten intake and tried a low GI diet; but I did not stick to that religiously. I never remember seeing EWCM, so we used Preseed. I really didn't have any promising symptoms during the TWW, and I still feel mostly normal. My temp was going down gradually, and the only real symptom I had was my boobs were kind of sore over the weekend. I have a headache right now and some cramping, but the headache could be from all the excitement. I was so convinced yesterday that AF was coming!!!!

So now I am nervous as hell for this to stay. Doc wants to see me at 8 weeks, but I am hoping I can get them to give me a blood test sooner. Stick baby bean, stick!!!!

Congrats rickyandlucy!! I love that you got a bfp despite being disappointed in your temps a couple of days ago! Shows that a chart doesn't say much about early pregnancy!

 

[clynn393]

rickyandlucy Omg congrats!!!!!!!! If I get a BFN this month I'm definitely trying some of what you did.

Do you use IC HPTs. Just a suggestion, but I see lots of ladies who test out their HGC triggers. Watching the line fade out then they know if it goes darker again they have a positive. I say this only because I know personally I would hate to test and see a faint and not know if its real or the trigger still leftover.

Congrsts Ricky! H&h 9 months!

 

[Dream143r]

Ricky - CONGRATS!!!!!!! You were so down on your chart and just waiting for your AF/BFN! This makes me so happy. It's true what everyone always says, you're not out until AF shows!

Wishing you the stickiest of sticky beans.
