Ask - it's soooo bad! Then you try to convince yourself to not symptom spot or obsess over pregnancy threads but you can't stop. lol I seriously need a hobby
 
Strange, I just had my acupuncture and the Chinese Dr told me to not do anymore acupuncture after iui (and if af comes I can go back but in the unlikely event of bfp then he only recommended herbs and no acupuncture. However, if I do get pregnant (at all) I don't want my little bean to suffer through the mud water - aka herbs :)

It kind of works out not having to go back for at least two weeks, next week is Chinese new year and we are heading over to Vietnam (Hanoi and halong bay).

Haha, yes, hobby please :)) although I do spend way too much time with my kitties at the shelter.. I'm kind of deciding who to bring with me should we go back to Europe. I'd definitely want to bring my Charlie (he has his own Facebook page: Charlie the senior kitty) but he will need company.. Tough choice though.. I love most of them dearly.

Oh dang.

Opk peak on clearblue and in 30 min I'll trigger (I've called and confirmed with the Dr).. A little panicking haha
 
Woohoo you've got this, Nore!

Charlie looks sooo sweet!
 
trigger is no big deal, you got this!!

I think everyone freaks out the first time. I know i did. It was no biggie!!
 
The trigger shot is done now :) the panic came from the fact that I got a peak (+) ok my clearblue so I was worried my body wanted to ovulate on its own, haha, but seems like it's ok to take the trigger shot even after a positive opk :)
 
Hey guys, just checking in, been MIA for a while. Technically I guess I am not a clomid buddy anymore; doc won't give me anymore prescriptions. After the last one (round 5), she referred us to a specialist. Haven't gone yet. Kind of taking a few months off. Still trying, but trying to be more relaxed about it. Stopped temping. Still wearing my Ava bracelet, but not sure how useful it really is since the info still doesn't match up with OPK's. For example, it says I am going to O this Sunday. But I got a positive OPK last Sunday. I hadn't tested the 2 days before that though because I wasn't expecting it so early on a non-clomid cycle, so I am not sure if I would have gotten a positive sooner. Either way, I am definitely thinking I should have O'ed Monday or Tuesday.

Which brings me to an interesting point. Yesterday I had brownish/pinkish milky discharge. But only when I wiped. Happened several times when I went to the bathroom. I know it is early for implantation bleeding, but I can't help but wonder...

Have we gotten any BFP's on here since I have been gone? Baby dust to all!
 
Good Luck Nor!

I have a really good feeling there will be a few BFP's on this thread within the month. I truly feel that in my heart & I am so excited to find out with you gals <3

I finally got my crosshairs on FF & confirmed I ovulated on CD 13. I have NEVER ovulated so early so I know it's the Clomid doing its job. Is it crazy that I'm actually nervous to finally have a chance to be pregnant?
 
nor, i am surprised to hear that about the accupuncture. so it isn't good to do in the 2 week wait? I am actually going to do accupuncture tomorrow for the first time. I am hoping it may help me with my fertility this month. i dont know if the effects are that immediate but i am going to give it a shot. i bought a few sessions of community accupuncture on groupon, so i got a good deal.
 
Nore - good job! When do you go in for your IUI? I'm guessing 36 hours after trigger?

Earth - ugh! Wish there was something you could do! :hugs:

R&L - welcome back! No worries that you aren't on clomid right now. My guess is the specialist will suggest clomid or femera + IUI as a next step if you don't concieve before then (but hopefully you will never even have to go!).

Love - yay for confirming O! I think you have a great chance! It is definitely kinda unreal to get a BFP after trying so long...we get so stuck in ttc that actually being pregnant seems out of reach!

I just went to the bathroom and have a strong burning sensation now. Drinking lots of water and hoping it goes away! My O pains have significantly dissipated so I'm hoping that means I O'd last night when they were at their worst...that would be perfect timing!
 
Lar my acupuncturist often wouldn't have me back for the TWW. I think it just depends on the person and what they determine your eastern medicine diagnosis to be. I actually quit going to acupuncture after last cycle because I wasn't seeing any additional positive improvements and I wanted to save up my benefits for when I pursue more intensive treatment.

Well I'm feeling out. BBs are still a bit sore, but not as bad as what they were a few days ago which tells me progesterone is falling. I also had some intense cramping last night after BDing which often happens in the days before AF shows. So I think its just a matter of time. AF should show on Monday or Tuesday.

I started acupuncture around beginning of January, and this is the first cycle he didn't want me to do acupuncture during 2ww, normally he rather ask me to come in up to 3 times a week during the 2ww, which is why I was a bit confused...

Yeah, it can easily add up, I pay around 510-570 thb for each session. The Dr did say that my tongue looked "good" and I think he might have mentioned before that you just helps the body back on track, so you won't need to keep doing it forever :)
 
Ya that makes sense Nore, I've been doing acupuncture since September so I think I've maxed out on the positive effects. I do O 2 days later now (CD14) which is fantastic
 
eh, no big deal. I mean yeah its frustrating but at the the same time, you come to a weird peaceful place about it. I could get on InHouse and order some Provera to start AF but it wouldnt be here until 2-3wks and i dont know what, if anything, that could potentially mess up. Right now i like to think my ovaries are resting, taking a break... Maybe thats not such a bad thing. :thumbup:
 
Ehm. So I have this temp rise today. I only tested opk last night so who knows if it would have been a peak already yesterday morning or evening before? And today temp rise but iui scheduled for tomorrow (in 25 h). Would the trigger + injections play a temp trick on me? Or will the iui tomorrow be a late April fools joke? We will probably go to the clinic later today (now 8am and hubby still sleeping), so I'll ask then..

trigger messes with temps
 
Nore I often get a partial temp rise the day before I O! I bet it will go up even more tomorrow! Good luck with your IUI!!!
 
Same thing happened to me Nore...and like Belle said, sometimes it seems like I get a bit of a temp rise right before O...maybe because estrogen starts to decrease after the LH surge? Peak estrogen causes the temp dip and precedes the LH surge. I think hcg can also affect your temps.
