Hey All!

So DH and I just put our deposit on our new place! WOOHOO! I cant even believe we are homeowners! Our closing is scheduled for April 30th. I feel truly blessed this Christmas!

I hope the new year brings us ALL little bebes!

Hey Jchicaroo!

I missed you. Glad you had such a wonderful holiday, and wow - buying a house - that's wonderful! Congratulations!

How is your 2WW going?

How is everyone else? Happy, are you testing soon? DawnLouise, Mrs. B - what's going on? Mamma - did you get your peak?

AFM, AF arrived one day later than normal on CD 14, giving me a 13 day LP, which is 2 days longer than it was 2 months ago. Still having spotting from CD 11 on. Despite my promising signs and promising chart, AF still came to visit. I was really, really bummed, but am picking myself back up. We have an appointment to see a fertility specialist next week and I can't wait. Really hoping there will be some obvious, fixable problem. Of course it would be great if there's NO problem, but then there would be nothing to do to help! Anyway, really hoping this guy will be magician and will basically pull a "rabbit" out of my "top hat" in 9 months if you know what I mean. Every month I've been adding something (or several things) new - and this month I've kind of exhausted my ideas. I may try to cut way back on sugar and refined carbs, I might try SMEP, and I might try acupuncture or reflexlogy... not sure. I might also up my dose of B50 to B100.

That's where I'm at! Really hoping to see a BFP soon on this thread!

xxoo to all.

 

[jchic]

Daisy! You are seriously full of tricks up your sleeve girl! I am sure you will get prego before that specialist even takes a look at you! How was your Christmas? How were the girls?

Everyone is soooo quiet today! BOOO!
Happy, did you test yet?

AFM - 2WW is going good. I am going to test on 1/3 or 1/4 if I dont get AF before then. I am not even going to get into symptoms because every month they are basically the same, LOL.

 

[Mrs.B.]

Hey Ladies, Hope you had a fab Christmas!

Jchic, congrats on the house, so exciting, lots to look forward to alreayd this year.

Sorry AF got you Daisy, Good luck with your fertility specialist next week, is that the first appointment? What will they kick off by doing? Its different here and most things get done by our doctors before they refer us.

AFM, nothing to report cycle wise, CD 10 waiting it out. The clomid gave me crazy crazy dreams they seem to have warn off now though.

We were given money and vouchers for Christmas off our families as we need new kitchen appliances, so we went out today and treated ourselves to a new washer dryer and a fridge freezer now got to wait in for the next 2 days for them both to be delivered on different days lol. I'm quite excited! easily pleased!

 

[jchic]

Hey Mrs. B! How are you feeling on the Clomid besides the dreams? What mg are you on?
NICE! Appliance and stuff for the house shopping is SO SO fun I think!

 

[DaisyQ]

Christmas was good, Jchic, thanks for asking. We were with my parents (girls were with mom). We had a nice, relaxing weekend. We have the girls this week and will open presents with them tonight - looking forward to that. As for Santa - he was very generous this year - he got me a new handbag, which is always a treat. The day before our 6 month anniversary (Christmas eve) we also braved the lines at Williams Sonoma to close out our wedding registry - last day to get the discount, and we got all our casual dinnerware which was nice... yay for matching plates!

Mrs. B, not entirely sure what will happen at the appointment. It's the first one, and I think there's a very detailed medical history taken, and an exam for me including a transvaginal ultrasound. Then I think DH gets sent away with a referral for a SA. Not sure what the next step is after that but I'm hoping blood work. Really can't wait.

Jchic, good for you not symptom spotting. I've got to try that this time around.

 

[happyh29]

hello ladies,

well its cd 10 for me - i think ( if i go by cbfm peak as my ovulation)

i feel physically sick, i don't like the smell of anything, my breasts kill and i have MAJOR stomach cramps.

i attribute all these symptoms to my obsession with the two week wait symptom spotting website!!!!

Last month i had chronic fatigue and it was all because i read this website!!!!!

but on a serious note i do feel very sick, cant figure out if its over eating at Christmas or not!

i have bought a digital test to take tomorrow - at least then i dont have to squint and stare!!!

good luck my lovely ladies xxx

 

[Mrs.B.]

I think I was ok, I had one evening which I came over all funny, the second night of clomid I think it was, but was ok apart from that. Im on 50mg at the mo, the doc will be revising it when I go back in Feb.
I know, I'm a geek when it comes to Kitchen appliances! its so sad really!

Thats good Daisy, sounds like the tests I went though Last month, Good Luck you sound like I did, just wanted there to be something fixable so there was a reason and not that it was just taking forever without an explanation

Oh! Sounds promising Happy, lol, even if it is wishful symptom spotting good luck with the test

 

[jchic]

Happy! Wait, you mean you are 10DPO right? You totally are prego! This is going to be our FIRST BFP on this thread! I hope you are and that it infuses some really good luck going into 2012 for us.

Mrs B - is your doc monitoring you on clomid? Just curious. This was my first round of Femara and I was monitored with a follicle ultrasound. Do they do that over there for Clomid?

Daisy - I am OBSESSED with all things William Sonoma, Pottery Barn and Pier 1. Welcome to my porn. hahahaha!

 

[Mrs.B.]

Mrs B - is your doc monitoring you on clomid? Just curious. This was my first round of Femara and I was monitored with a follicle ultrasound. Do they do that over there for Clomid?

No I'm not being monitored, my doc said it was low risk, blah blah, so there was no need. lol. She did tell me to get my day 21 blood done, but I cant remember is she said on both rounds of on my second round! I'm sure she just said on my second, but not sure that makes sense. I think they do monitor in some cases here (depending on your doctor) but I thought it could be bad with cysts so should be monitored but my doc didn't seem worried

 

[DaisyQ]

Happy that sounds promising! One word of caution regarding the digital tests - they are not as sensitive as the other tests, so you might get a negative, and still be preggo. 11DPO is not too early to test, but it *might* be too early for a positive on a digi - but maybe not! I can't wait for your results!

Jchic - I know - I am obsessed with WS and PB too - I adore the style in the PB catalogue, but I don't love the quality of their stuff... I think it depends on what it is. I can't wait until I have a house I can paint and decorate! One day. Hopefully in 2012, but it's a tough year for us, so maybe not until early 2013. The ONLY upside of not being preggo yet, is that were due in September, it's very likely we'll still be in our apartment which has no room for a nursery, which would be hard I think. I love the idea of getting ready for a baby by getting the nursery ready, and breastfeeding in there, etc. I think it would be very crowded having the baby in our room. Not sure where the crib, changing table etc. would go, but I'm sure we'd figure it out. I always joke that things always work out just perfectly for my husband (he is a lucky scoundrel!), so I won't be surprised if we get our BFP with a due date that coordinates just perfectly with moving into a house!

 

[DaisyQ]

Oh and Mrs. B, one thing about the day 21 blood work - you should talk to your doc about that because "day 21" blood work is assuming ovulation around day 14. So if you ovulate late, the day 21 test would be too early for you.

 

[happyh29]

lol you guys fill me with hope.

i am just waiting for AF as i feel like its coming any second. i have the full heavy uterus and it feels like i am due on any second.

xxx

 

[DaisyQ]

It's actually crazy how many docs order that test on day 21, without any regard to your actual ovulation date!

 

[Mrs.B.]

The clomid should have me ovulating before that date, if not then its not working and they'll put my dose up

 

[DaisyQ]

Ah - I see. You are on top of it!

 

[Mrs.B.]

This little calculator seems to sum it up

https://www.babymed.com/tools/clomid-ovulation-calculator

Should Ovulate between CD 11 and 16 on the clomid.

I have started using my monitor again in hope that it will pick up the surge, exciting!! x

 

[DaisyQ]

Very cool! Oh, Mrs. B! I hope this does the trick for you! Are you and your OH BD'ing this cycle and giving it a go? Or is this like a month off?

I really, really hope this doc can help us. I'm putting all my eggs in that basket.

 

[Mrs.B.]

We sort of had last cycle off until we know what was happening, and when they diagnosed the PCOS I got very disheartened and we gave up until I started my Clomid, So didn't want another month off. So yes this month we are back to it, and back to the CBFM and BBT. Although my doc did say that I still may not Ov this month but should kick in next month, but I'm hoping I'm receptive and it kicks me into gear straight away, Just being optimistic

I'm sure your doc will do their best for you too ) not long to wait now

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

Wow you girls were chatty today

The blasted witch got me first this this morning...what a ride that was. The B6 lengthened my LP to 14 days which was nice but it didn't have any effect on my spotting, which was more the reason I was taking it to begin with So instead of spotting 2 days before AF I spotted for 5...not loving that!! So coming completely off everything this cycle, only taking what I have left over of the FertileCM. Letting God have control from now on...as he's in control anyway, I have to learn to trust him, he knows what the future holds for me so he knows when the best time will be for this baby to arrive. I always like to have control over everything and I know I am no good at being in control so....roll on cycle #4.

Glad to hear you ladies all had a wonderful Christmas!

Happy when are you testing hun? I had a heavy full uterus the month I was pregnant with my daughter!!
