Clomid Buddies - 18 BFPs!

[Mrs.326]

thank you Chloe I hope th doc gives you answers- that must be so frustrating!
well I went down to the nurse and told him about the progesterone I am taking.... and he's like, sorry we can't treat anyone who is pregnant or trying to get pregnant. of course I started to cry- haha. he did examine me and said my ears and throat were ok and that my nasal passages are swollen. so he said if he was able to give me anything it would be musinex and ibuprophin. is that safe to take during the 2ww??

I was told that ibuprophin is a huge no no when TTC... I think it can prevent implantation??? Not 100% sure on that, but my doctor told me to stay away from it. I think you can take Tylenol and that's it. Musinex should be fine to take, though.

Tobefruitful, thanks so much! I have a call into my doctor right now

Good luck ladies! I hope that everyone gets answers/BFP this month!

So apparently I am losing my mind a little bit! I said yesterday that I was 4 dpo but I was 5! Making today 6 dpo!

Glad most of you had a great Valentine's Day! My DH sent me flowers to school. I posted a pic on facebook. My link is in my journal if anyone wants to be FB friends! He also took me to dinner, bought me Breaking Dawn pt. 1 and got me an iTunes gift card! I could definately get used to this

He did tell me yesterday when I kept telling him that I had another surprise (I was hinting at a new outfit for the bedroom) but anyway he said that he was hoping that I had a sonagram picture. That just broke my heart. He want's a baby so bad and I kind of feel like I can't give it to him.

Please God let this be our month!!!!

 

[dalismom]

Awww, redskin I am so sorry! I sure hope it comes for you and hubby soon!!!! Baby Dust!!!

 

[hope n pray]

Happy Valentines day everyon!

Lisa, lucky you!

Tonight was fun, DH and I went to dinner and then to the casino, to have a little fun and gamble a little. Bummer, no drinking for me....oh well it will be so worth it to get a BFP.

I have a question for you ladies, my moms birthday is next week and my grandparents invited us down for dinner on Sat ( 10 DPO) I really would like to go but I am really worried to, here is the deal, my grandpa just had radioactive "seeds" implanted in his prostate 4 weeks ago tomorrow. The doctor told him not to be around anyone pregnant for at least 6 months, or at least 10 feet away for that long! I have no idea weather I am pregnant or not but I hate NOT to go and not be and wasted the time not spent with my family, I also would hate to BE preggo and risk harm. I am so torn, my grandparents totally understand but I am confused because I figure, he goes to the grocery store and is around people who don't know yet possibly, right? They didn't confine him to a house or anything? Ughhhh, just don't know? Any advise?

Hey, I was in a similar situation a couple of months ago. My husband had a Nuclear stress test done on him and the doctor advised him to stay away from Preg women for 2 weeks (they also gave him a card to carry with him in case he gets pulled over in security scanners). We had an RE's appointment that week itself and we went to the doctors office and he waited outside so i could go and check with the Dr first if it was ok for him to come. But she advised him to stay outside as it is not safe for the preg women and they even had some in their staff.
But I was sleeping next to him anyways, and we were TTC but not actively that month. Even I had the same question that he would not be able to avoid walking next to preg women on the road, in elevators, etc. but I guess the doctors would advise you to stay away if possible if your exposure is for a long time. Maybe you can try one of those EPT to test on 10 DPO to be certain. I hope this helped.....

Good luck for your leap year BFP!!

Thanks so much! My Dr just called back and said that he would not advise me being around him, as in the same room, but I could go and just keep my distance. I think we are going to go but just not be in the same room as grandpa. I hate that but he understands and I know he woulf FEEL AWFUL if I was and something bad happend. I will probably still test on Sat though and not go if I get my miracle BFP!

 

[hope n pray]

welcome dalismom! hope you get your BFP super soon!

well, i got shot with cupids arrow...i mean needle. i got a nice fat trigger shot today. tomorrow we go in for our 2nd IUI, wish us luck! looks like my body responded nicely to clomid once again, this time i even had a mature follicle. i am not looking forward to the TTW but super excited that this could be our month!

Good luck to you....I hope it works out for you this month.

Another very effective remedy is a single garlic clove. I learned this the hard way when I got a yeast infection when I was in a place where I couldn't see a doctor and didn't speak the local language -- I googled "natural yeast infection remedy" and I kept finding sites that said to use a single garlic clove as a suppository overnight. I tried it and it worked, and it's now my go-to yeast infection remedy since it's so easy to buy garlic, and now that we're TTC, I'm not sure if I should use an OTC medication in case it kills DH's swimmers. I also never have to leave it in for the full overnight/8 hours -- usually 3 or 4 is all it takes, since I can usually tell when a YI (and a UTI for that matter) is coming on, so I can catch it early. Never had any lingering garlic odor (which was honestly my biggest concern, so you can imagine how desperate I was to even try it lol).

Thanks for that tip, I read about that too and I was very uneasy about inserting a garlic down there But seeing that this infection is still not completely gone, I might give it a try today. Somehow, I hate the monistat and similar creams and I still havent used it despite repeated assurances from the doctor that its fine to use. Had another U/S today and I think the follicle is about 17 mm, maybe they will give me a trigger shot tomorrow or day after so I have a couple more days I think.

Thank you, yes the test reports were good thank God. Although, he does take heart meds as he had stenting done a couple of years ago when he was 29. He has heart disease in his family and he also used to lift heavy weights at the gym- bad combo for the heart.

I was playing around with my chart today, and I'm wondering if it didn't show O since I didn't have enough temps prior to O date. I discarded the one that was high on CD13 because I was drinking the night before and that tends to raise my temp the next day. My typical pre-O temp is 96.8ish. If i add 2 of those in there in the Luteal Phase, then it shows i O'd on CD16. I got ANOTHER +OPK today, so that's 5 in a row. I just know I'm going to symptom spot from now until AF shows up (hopefully she will stay away and I will be preggo!)

GL, tobefruitful!


Chantel, try not to let your hubby make you feel down! It will happen soon, for all of us!

hi chloe- i was always told to not discard temps close to ov. choose "drinking" or "sleep deprived" in those cases- FF is designed to take those things into consideration when calculating.

chantel that must've been hard to hear

Good luck Carly! I hope you see your this time around!

I was wondering if you could fill me in on IUI a little, since I will be ready for that next cycle if I don't get lucky this month. Also, what is the shot for if you respond so well to Clomid? Is it just for "perfect timing" purposes?

to you and to all you ladies!!

my clinic says no ibrpophen in the 2ww. i think they say no to everything except for tylenol. that doesnt work.

Steel--I have done IUI twice too. My clinic has you take clomid CD3 to CD7. If you do not get + OPK by CD 14, they make you come in and get an ultrasound and bloodwork. If the ultrasound shows that follicles are coming and no LH surge yet, then you do the shot to get things rolling. If you do get +OPK, you just do in the day after. It is much like getting a pap smear. They use the speculum and put a catheter through your cervix (about 3 inches long?). You just feel a little cramp and may bleed a bit. Pretty painless.

thanks for your kind words! we are hoping this is our month! we would be on !

ipen pretty much summed up a typical IUI. it is nothing to worry about. it is just another way to try to help get the "good" sperm closer to the egg to promote conception. yes, my body did respond nicely to clomid, however i think my body wants to naturally ovulate on day 14 and they prefer day 12. the shot isn't too bad....just a tender bottom. mild cramping and a tad of bleeding w/ iui. the process does take awhile, DH has to go in first and do "his job" then they wash the sperm which can take up to an hour then they inseminate. good luck!! i am hoping it works the first time around for you!! if not, we are here to help.

have a great day everybody!

to you and to all you ladies!![/QUOTE]

 

[Mrs.326]

I am 3dpo on my first cycle of clomid, and I have yet to get sore nipples which is always a big indicator of ovulation for me. I'm a little confused - can clomid keep some post o symptoms from showing? Should I be concerned that maybe it didn't work or that my progesterone levels are too low? I go in today for blood work, but I'm just worried and confused. Can someone shed some light on this for me?

Thank you in advance!!

 

[IluvRedskins]

I wish I could help, but I wasn't ovulating prior to Clomid and was barely ovulating when on the 50 mg. I did have a good cycle on round 3 and I'm hoping to have a good cycle now that I'm on 100 mg. I wish I could help!!!

Today I have very itchy nipples for the first time. Very different for me, usually my boobs are just sore.

Funny story about my bloodwork this morning. The lab tech looked at me and said, "Aww, honey, I thought we would be doing pregnancy labs by now" I have the exact quote in my journal but all I could say was, "Yeah me too!" I know she meant well but seriously!
