CD1 Starting clomid in 3 days... Let's Chat

[Bulldawg1026]

Thanks Katie i'll keep trying.....just frustrating......and i totally understand what you mean i would want to test now if i could....i just need to make it to march 2nd that's my count down then the tww......but makes it easier i think w/ the ultra sound b/c i have two count downs lol

maybe being tired is a good thing

 

[katertots]

Well my husband just told me that he does not want me to take the clomid next month. Bc its not gods plan. Hmmmmm...

 

[Bulldawg1026]

Oh mercy....I have no idea what to tell you...I am 50/50 on that one

 

[katertots]

Okay now he is saying that its okay to take it, but if it does not happen right away then it might not be gods plan for that month.

Eeeeekkk

 

[katertots]

And he does not want me to get upset if it does not happen right away.

 

[Bulldawg1026]

It's so easy for them to say but for us women it makes us mental it seems like...My husband and I keep saying the same thing every month...it wasn't gods plan this time...but still frustrating sometimes...i know what your going through!!

 

[katertots]

Im glad you understand. No men dont understand. Its like we do so much to make sure it will happen, bd on right days, softcups, preseed, mucinex, clomid, medical testing, hsg. I mean the list could go on and on, all they have to do is one act. Its so easy for them bc they are not the ones having to do all this stuff.

I know im not in control and as hard as I try to change that, it wont ever be the case. Its only human nature to try and control our destiny. At the end of the day I know I have done all I can and I just have to give it over.

 

[Bulldawg1026]

Well said Katie!!!

 

[katertots]

Thanks

Hello Ladies,

This is a very stressful cycle for me. The clomid has increased my hope 10x and my temps are up and down every day. Take a look at my chart! It's making me so mad. Today better be an implantation dip or I am going to pull some hair out! lol. How is everyone else doing?

bulldawg - I'm sorry that the temping thing is not working out for you. I am having a hard time temping too because my sleeping patters are all messed up. Good luck!

Katertots (ttc triplet) - How are you doing today? I hope your dh lets you take clomid next month. I find it hard when people say not to stress if it doesn't happen. We do not care WHY it's not happening! We just want it to happen already! lol. I am actually getting tired of poas. I hope things work out for you! Good luck.

 

[katertots]

Triplet! Your chart looks great! As long as temp does not dip below coverline I still think there is a chance Just try to stay calm and relax (as my dh says) LOL!

I know the clomid did that for me too. I hope it works. I am anxious. I know I need to get off here and stop reading about all this stuff, maybe that will help me stay calm. I get all excited when I see everyone BFP and everyones symptom spotting. So far I have not symptom spotted, I am 4dpo and I have only managed to see one symptom today, mild abdominal twinge on right. Did you have this ?

 

[Amberks8]

Katie- Tell your husband that God's will is WAY WAY WAY stronger than clomid. We are all living proof. Life ONLY happens on God's time...Clomid wont change that!!!

Amy- getting close to the big O, girl! Keep your head up!

Angela - My temps have not been as high as normal. Your chart looks good though!


My update: Well, the hcg shot is out of my system. I peed a negative this morning. Guess that is good news Also, I called my doctor and told him that I didnt know if I ovulate, despite the trigger shot, because of my temps. So, he let me come in and do a progesterone test which tells you if you ovulated, and I did My level was 16. If it is over 15, you ovulate. So, at least I know that the meds all did what they are supposed to. Now I just have to wait 5-7 more days to know if the did his job

Praying for all of you on this thread Cant wait to see what the next couple weeks holds for us!

 

[arpeters]

That is so great that you ovulated!!yay!!


I have a question. I took an opk until my line went away which was around 3dpo. This thing was completly white just like my hpt tests. I am familiar with the brand and it is usually completly white until I get within 3 days of OV. So, today I went to the store to get my monthly fix of hpt tests and got 2 opk tests just to give me something to pee on. lol. The line was visible. Not a squinter either. I would say about 1/3 of the way to dark. What the heck is that about? I heard that positive opk's sometimes are a sign of pregnancy, but the 1/3 dark? I am going to test again tomorrow to see what it's doing. My temps show that I definitely OVed.

when do you actually feel lower ab cramping pains/period pains on the clomid is it when your due to ovulate and will it be more than normal because of taking the clomid just wondering as days 4 and 5 taking the clomid i felt twinges in both my right and left side around the ovaries and not felt anything since and wondering if you ladies have felt mild cramping of ovulation pain during ovulation whilst being on clomid.....

 

[arpeters]

I actually had twinges and light cramping from very early on in the cycle. Probably around cd5 (3rd day of clomid). they got much stronger and more focused to the ovaries as OV got closer. Feeling twinges and cramping early on is normal. Good luck!!

Its crazy how we go through all that and all they have to do is one thing and sometimes they give you a hard time with that! lol like they dont feel like it tonight! Im like WHAT YOU DONT FEEL LIKE IT!! ive been doing everything and if you dont feel like it we could miss our chance! they will never understand what we feel like. my DH thinks if it takes awhile its fine with him but he dont understand when it dont happen how bad it hurts!!

 

[jenn2010]

Also about the God in control and wondering if you should use clomid- Im a very faithful person and I believe God can do anything but I feel its a medical condition if you dont ovulate and you need a little help! I compare it to blood pressure meds or anything God can heal that too but you wouldn't stop taking you pills! I just believe god will work when its the right time!!

My opk lines never fade away completely....if the test line gets as dark as the control line then you could def. be preggers

 

[katertots]

I am going to start my journal today. I feel very peaceful today, I am not upset or cranky or anything. Last night I did have some pain on the right side, and it reminded me of that cyst I had last month, so I put a heating pad on it . Why when I want to get preg, do I get cysts? I never got those before. I just am going to stay hopeful and hope it will go away. I read about a diet you can do to help get rid of and prevent cysts. So I might try that if my dr confirms this. I have to go tomorrow for my cd21 blood test.

I got up this morning and went to the gym, I feel alot better today. I also felt a little sick when I got home, but once I stopped thinking about it, it went away.

I thought about the whole clomid thing and I agree jenn. Sometimes we just need a little help. Medication is just assisting its not a miracle worker. God is the miracle worker. I just keep praying that it works for me. Jenn- It does hurt when AF comes, what a bad feeling. I have been feeling lilke I am going to start my period for 2 days, its better today but I still feel that heaviness. Has anyone else had this issue? I am only 5dpo today.

 

[arpeters]

Katertots (ttc triplet) - Good luck with your blood work tomorrow! I hope the cysts go away too. I am also very peaceful today for some reason. I was feeling very negative about the whole ttc thing this month, but now for now reason at all I feel...ok. It's out of my control, i've done all i can, and i'll know in 3 days if my temp starts to drop of in 5 days if AF comes. Good luck!

Amberks8 - (ttc twin)- How are you feeling today? Any symptoms?
