Clomid 2014 And Beyond

[Buttercup77]

Amen! Thank you, Buttercup.

-I need to share this... I hope you don't mind.

-I went on an IVF board to learn some things from others who had been through the IVF process. There was a woman there that had 4 IVF procedures. None of them were successful. She never had more than 2 eggs to fertilize. I prayed for her several times throughout her 5th IVF procedure. She had an awesome egg retrieval (18 eggs)...15 fertilized. Her egg transfer was great too! She had genetic testing done and 6 were Grade A! She froze four and transferred two girls. She is now pregnant.
-Now, I am happy for her. However, she never came back to update me or thank me. She started blogging on another thread and I saw that she was pregnant and extremely happy.
-I just feel like she could have at least come back to the thread we were on (by ourselves for the most part) and updated me and given God thanks. In her most recent blogging, she has not mentioned prayer or God. I know I shouldn't be offended, but for some reason I am. When she was depressed and dissapointed she always thanked me for my prayers. Now that she's 40 and pregnant for the first time in her life, she doesn't even stop to think of those that helped her get through... She should be careful to always be grateful and thankful to God...and those that helped her.

Hi Saks,
I don't mind at all. I completely agree with you. She should've definitely come back to update you and thank you for your thoughts and prayers during that difficult time but to also give you support.

And there's nothing wrong with feeling offended, your feelings are valid. I pray that she is enlightened and give thanks unto the Lord for he is good; and not forget about others who were kind and loyal to her.

My mom says, you should never forget to thank God, for he is better to us, than we are to ourselves

Psalms 107:1
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endures forever.

You are a kind person and continue shine that light, my friend

 

[SAKS]

Amen!
Wow...
Thank you, Buttercup! That was excellent (your Mom's advice and the scripture made me smile even bigger).

-I wrote the woman this morning and expressed my feelings. She lashed out at me and basically told me she has a life and I need to go get one. Ouch!
-I will take your advice, Buttercup and not let this get me down. I will continue to pray for others (even though I don't know them personally), even if they are not grateful in the end.
-Keep me posted on your journey!

Don't you worry, it seems like she was upset because you voiced you concern, but her response was rude and uncalled for, and you didn't deserve that - not one bit, but don't allow it to get you down. We all have lives but make time to get support and give it on B&B.

Keep looking forward and move on, honey!

On another note: How did your appointment go today? How are your shots going?

 

[Buttercup77]

Just got the call, bfn. I had a gut feeling.

 

[SAKS]

I am SO sorry, Buttercup. I was praying really hard for you. I will continue to pray for you. God bless you.

hi ladies, i wish i had something great to announce but im afraid to test, and im feeling very down these days thats why i hardly get on anymore. i have a friend that was about 4 days behind me on our periods and she was very irregular ever since she had her daughter last july, and she just found out shes pregnant again. im happy for her dont get me wrong, but it sucks that i monitor every single day and look out for cm (which was white and creamy the past few days) also for twinges and everything that you ladies know we check for, i have been even waiting for the cramps that are usually my reminder that af is on her way and nothing this time. i dont see a baby coming this year for me. sorry for being a debby downer but its just one of those days, i am due for af monday or tuesday the 21st. hubby says not to stress and not to test if that will make me more sad, to just wait and see if it shows its ugly face. what do you ladies think? Im sorry for the BFN's ladies for those of you who havent recieved great news
SAKS- i could really use some prayers this month, im not feeling so good about this

 

[SAKS]

@Buttercup: My appointment went well...except for the fact that my uterine lining is too thick to start the new injections. I have to go back Monday for another ultrasound.
@ANGIE: God bless you, sweetheart. Starting right now, I want you to start speaking positively and pregnancy over yourself. Whenever you get a bad or negative thought, replace it with a good BFP thought. Talk to Father God and ask Him to have mercy upon you. Remind Him of His promises to you. Keep yourself busy and happy to be alive. Love on your loved ones and count your blessings. I am praying for you.
-Father God please fill Angie's womb with your precious life and have mercy upon her.

 

[READY4MYBABY]

Saks, thank you sooo much for your kind words and prayers i will do my best to be positive until i know whats going on with my body. i need to go see my doctor soon and hopefully move on to iui again. i will pray god hears all of our prayers very soon

 

[taurusmom05]

Hello, all. It's been a crazy week at work for me! I am exhausted. Just got done catching up on everyone here
Saks, I agree the gal should have come back to update you...I pray she forms a beautiful and lasting relationship with God...as He is the reason for the new life she will be bringing into the world. He has chosen her to carry her child We are lucky to have you here with us. Know that we appreciate you and your kind words and prayers always!

Buttercup, I am so sorry about your bfn. Was so hoping for great news your way. No fears, as for each cycle that passes...you are one cycle closer to your beautiful baby. Praying extra hard this month for you!

Ready, I hate to see you down. I know we all get those feelings from time to time. I pray this feeling leaves as quickly as it came in for you! Don't be discouraged ! Something about trying the conceive that makes me feel like everyone is getting pregnant around me!! When is af due for you?? Sending lots of positive vibes your way! Keep us posted!

Afm...I took my first dose of clomid this evening! af is pretty much gone so gonna start bd'ING tomorrow and do so every other day until bfp or af shows again!!!
Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[Buttercup77]

Hello ladies,

Hope everyone is doing well.

afm: I feel a bit better today after talking to my husband, he keeps me grounded and makes things better, but he's also hurting for me because this is out of his control and he wants to fix it. We plan to meet with the RE again and see if she'll reconsider ivf since I've lost some weight and not far off from goal.

In the meantime I've decided to do another Clomid - IUI cycle and just waiting on af to start clomid again. I find so difficult facing bfn's month after month, its truly taxing on many levels but I will continue to trust God and believe that he knows best.

Have a wonderful weekend all!

 

[SAKS]

@ANGIE: Keep us posted! Stick with us...

@TaurusMom: Yes!!! You are right on the money with that young lady! God has really blessed her and I hope she is appreciative all the days of her life. Thank you for your kind words, Beautiful!
-And, I LOVE your BDing schedule!!!!!! You go, TM! I can't wait to hear your results!

@Buttercup: Amen! Continue to trust God! Remember, that lady I told you about had been childless her whole life (40 years). God allowed her to become pregnant, when He knew it was right. I pray this next IUI cycle is it for you!

-Father God please allow us to become pregnant before the year 2014 is over. Please Father God have mercy and grace upon us. Please Father God allow your miracle-working power to rain on us and fill us with your precious gift of life. Please Father God forgive us of our sins and wash us clean of any iniquity. Please Father God allow us to have perfect, peaceful pregnancies this year and the next and allow us to deliver perfect, healthy, beautiful children that we will take home with us and love in the way YOU commanded. In the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

 

[READY4MYBABY]

Well I tested and got a BFN :/ I am expecting af tomorrow or Tuesday, until then I'm keeping my fingers crossed I still have a chance. I am gonna give my doctor a call tomorrow so he can prescribe clomid again. How are you ladies doing?
uttercup- I'm so sorry about your bfn I hope the next cycle is yours. Lots of baby dust to all you lovely ladies! !

 

[SAKS]

@ANGIE: KMFX! Keep us posted!

 

[Buttercup77]

Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone had a great weekend and doing well!!

Thanks Ready4mybaby! Good luck to you hun!

Saks, Taurusmom & SarahLou372 , how are you all doing?

afm: I am feeling better and AF arrive early this morning, exactly 31 day cycle and cramps from the jump. I know its the cloimd as I usually don't get cramps until cd3 along with heavy flow. I wish she would've arrived over the weekend so I could lounge instead of being at work, but oh well, positive thoughts!

 

[taurusmom05]

Ready, so sorry about your bfn. You're not out until af shows so I am kmfx! keep us posted!
Buttercup, so sorry af reared her ugly head! you are right on with the positive thoughts! Keep then coming! Each month that passes is a month closer to your beautiful bfp and bring home baby! I know it's coming soon and I am praying this cycle is the one! Xo
How are you, saks?? What's new??

Afm...today I will take my 4th day of clomid. I haven't experienced any symptoms so far-and honestly I was hoping I would so I would have the feeling it's "working" lol sounds silly, I know! DH and I have started bd'ING every other day already tho. I'm not using opk'so or anything this cycle. Just want to have fun bd'ING and not stress when a surge might be happening. Every other day should get me to hit the mark!

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[SAKS]

Hey Buttercup!
-I am at the doctor's office now...waiting on results. I will update you soon.

-Yes, keep those positive thoughts at the forefront! You are now the most fertile person in your state, Buttercup.

 

[SAKS]

Looking good, TaurusMom!

-I posted right after you...again. Lol! I can't wait for you to have to send me the $50 for the BFP!!!!!

 

[SAKS]

Ugh... Nurse said I still can't start my new injections...estrogen too high. Gotta come back on Friday for more tests... :/ God bless us all.

Aww, Saks! I pray your levels shift to where they need to be by your next appt.

 

[Buttercup77]

Hi Taurusmom,
I know exactly how you feel, I didn't have any symptoms from clomid this cycle and I started to stress if it was working or not. I only had symptoms after the ovidrel shot. I'm also with you on the just having fun BD'ing and not stressing on when the surge may happen. Although I'm having an iui this cycle we will still bd eod.

Wishing you well and best luck to you!!
