Soooo I'm getting back on baby making mission. Cd1 today gonna start femara 5mg on cd3 unmonitored just to see how/IF it works FX!

 

[Blackbarbie04]

FXed for you. 5mg did the trick for me!!!!! Hope to see that BFP before too long!!!! How long you been trying MsBee? I'm praying for it!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Blackbarbie04]

Thanks for all the info Barbie and Ellie, you have been so helpful!

I'm considering asking my doc to switch me to femara from the clomid for the emotional side effects alone. I've been a complete nutjob the past few days. O was also one of the worst experiences - DH and I went to the movies and had to leave because I couldn't even sit down. We were on vacation and I had to fly 7 hours in seated agony... ugh.

The spotting I was having seems to have stopped, but I've had that happen on non medicated cycles and then had AF hit with a vengence so I'm being pretty cautious. I'll probably test on thursday if she doesn't arrive.

labgal that is how I was. I couldn't hardly walk and I had to sit down very cautiously. It hurt soooo bad!!! With Femara I hurted real bad for one day, but I really believe that was my implantation day b/c after that one day that's when I started to have my MS....

Barbie...it's been on and off since 2011, but I wasn't consistent and didn't seek any help until 2013 so for a year straight, but last few mnths was on hold because of all I was going through with DH

 

[Blackbarbie04]

O ok. Have you had any further testing done yet? have the dr said anything about running tests on you?

 

[MsBee21niya]

I've done all sort of blood tests, HSG, and they said possible pcos going by ultrasound. I didn't do the full 6 rounds of clomid and with moving and problems w/DH I just stopped trying. So last yr was the first I even went in with concerns about it, the other yrs I just was trying but not consistent. Now I'm starting femara to see what that does cause although clomid helped me O and have follicles it also thinned my lining so I don't want that anymore.

 

[Blackbarbie04]

I hope it works for you!!!!!!!!! 5mg for me worked the first time!!!! I really hope you can get your BFP!!!!!!!!!!! Keep us updated Ma'am!!!!

 

[MsBee21niya]

Thanks Barbie! Got my soft cups, pre-seed and OPKs! This mnth would be perfect, our Anniversary is Sat. This is all I want the entire year, just one little baby

 

[Momof2TTC]

So sorry AF arrived OoOo.

I was run down during O this past month (and not taking Clomid for the past 2 months0, so we did not BD at all. Ironically, I made it to cd25 before I started spotting. Figures the first cycle we don't try and I have a decent non-medicated cycle. LOL.

 

[Blackbarbie04]

Glad to have you back momof2!!!! Hopefully your months keep getting better!!!

 

[labgal]

Well my first round of clomid was a bust. Starting round 2 tomorrow...

 

[Momof2TTC]

Thanks Barbie! How are things going for you?

Sorry AF showed labgirl. Always a bummer, but it's not uncommon to need more than 1 cycle!

 

[Blackbarbie04]

Momof2 things are things.... LOL, um... I think I actually forgot what it felt like to be pregnant after I had my son b/c um.... it's not fun right now!!! I have to take things to help me use the bathroom which is only once a week so by the time Wed and Thur come I feel horrible like I am goin gto explode. My doc told me to try Miralax so I started that yesterday. So, I take Zofran everyday to help with the morning sickness, which is horrible if I don't take it. But, Zofran makes the constipation worse as well as the prescribed vitamins that I am on... As far as being tired like I was, I have more energy now as I will be in my second trimester in 2 weeks and that is when people say you start to have mor energy. I don't have an apetite so I have to make myself eat, and every night before I go to bed I have headaches... So,.... I guess once I actually start feeling my baby move all these complications will not be as hard on me b/c that will take my mind off of it for a while, but as for right now, I asked my husband can we stop at this one!!!! He wants one more after this one, but I don't know if I could deal going thru this another time, which they say every pregnancy is different and I was in the hospital off and on with my son, but with this one it's a bit better in that way. It's just being uncomfortable....

That stinks Barbie! I hope u get to feeling better soon. AFM I still haven't started my period. I have spotted some since last Fri only light brown no red and basically no cramps either. Idk what to think. I'm no longer spotting so not sure if I should count that as AF or maybe I Oed late and that's implantation. If it was AF then I missed out on my clomid for this cycle but my boobs are still really tender and nipples are sensitive. Ugh! I hate the not knowing lol.

When are you going to test???

 

[Momof2TTC]

Ellie- Every pregnancy is SO different. I had a ton of troubles with my son during pregnancy and then labor/e-c-section. My daughter- it was a very smooth pregnancy with only one issue (Symphysis Pubis Disorder) and easy repeat c-section. Hope you start feeling a bit better soon. As crazy as it is, I almost WISH I had all those symptoms if it meant I was pregnant...LOL. Now, ask me when/if I ever am pregnant how I enjoy it!

AFM- Still waiting on AF to be here 'full force'. I have lots of spotting now (cd27) but no full red bleed so it's not cd1 yet. I still can not believe I've had the longest/best cycle WITHOUT Clomid and it's the month we didn't BD. FIGURES!

 

[MsBee21niya]

Second day of femara 5mg, no symptoms. Really hoping it works! FX

 

[labgal]

Ellie - did you test? I'd definitely test if I were you! No red is a good thing!

 

[Ellie Bean]

Well took a digital clear blue today and it said not pregnant so Idk what the deal is. I know the digitals aren't as sensitive so I spose I'll wait a few more days to a week and re test. My boobs are super sore and am very sensitive during sex but who knows if these are real s/s or if it's just a weird cycle lol. Good luck McBee fixed the fears works. I go see the specialist June 11 the day before my 25th b day so am really hoping to get a bfp before then!

 

[MsBee21niya]

Sorry Ellie! FX it's your time!
