Mgonzales I can test around same time as you good luck do you tempt all x

Well I'm possibly DPO2 now took another OPK don't know why just did and it's really faint so definitely no more now, yesterday got slight twinges on right side but nothing really major nothing at all like the day before. Took temperature this morning and it's risen day before it dipped to 97.05 and today it's risen to 97.33 so just monitor it see if it continues to be high for the next three days plus got my follicle tracking tomorrow which should also confirm O has occurred. Me and Dh using Preseed throughout BD for the two days leading up to O, twice on O day and then the day after O so I've done all I can and given myself the best chance possible so just playing the dreaded TWW stage now. I hate this stage as there is nothing you can do but wait atleast the stage before you can prep organise your doing something but in this stage your just over analyzing every possible symptom your having hoping it's a good sign. Well FX for me that I may get my happy ending to my 2 and half years of TTC xx

Fingers and toes crossed!

No, I don't temp. I think that it's a useful technique but I would forget to do it as I have very busy mornings. So far I have had more white discharge (sorry if tmi) that is odorless and I'm just exhausted all the time.

 

[AngelaALA]

I've set my alarm to wake me up at 5am just so I can take my temp it's at side of bed as soon as alarm goes off I take my temp record it on fertility friend then go back to sleep lol crazy I know but due to being a shift worker 5am is the only time I know I can stick too routinely xx

I think white is fine that means creamy it shouldn't be anything to worry about if it's odourless hun when you going to test xx

Well I'm DPO3 couldn't BD last night in the end as DHs gramps is very ill in hospital had to rush over last night which killed the mood both of us didn't feel up to it last night. Hope we've done enough now got my dip in temp two days ago and last two days it's steadily rising so just see if temp keeps high till I can test and doesn't drop. Also got my follicle tracking today which won't show me any follicles anymore as too late but should confirm O so I'll keep you guys posted xx

 

[AngelaALA]

Well just as I thought it was too late to see any eggs as I've already O but this is the gulp bit all that pain I felt was because I have released three eggs Three follicles all of good size ruptured one follicle on right and two on the left one follicle more dominant than the other two but from Doc all of very good size yikes triplets lol xx so I'm hoping that atleast one got fertilized I've got three little eggs so my chances are good this month FX for me so excited next 9 days are going to be such a long wait before I can test eeeekkk xx

If I don't get a bfp this cycle then I'll try it next cycle. I think I'm going to test on my b-day March 15th I took a clear blue advanced last night and it said not pregnant... According to implantation calculator, sticky won't implant until tomorrow.

 

[Nikky86]

after 5 years of trying decided to see a Doctor
after all the test he did he put me on clomid
it tool #150 to get me to ovulated so i had 2 success cycles and no BFP
so sad when you finally fix that missing puzzle that keeping you from getting pregnant to then realize theres more to that.
so I ov during days 17 or 18 with a luteal phase of 14 this month
and i had trisphalic chart during 11dpo but got my hopes high but didnt get a positive and woke up with a Period

so going into chart #3 and just dont know what to do this month
try another doc or keep on with #150 clomid
im not taking no vitamins or folic acid

 

[Nikky86]

Im in the same boat
i dont know what to do every month that passes is worse and worse my problem was i didnt ovulated till now on 150 clomid but that hasnt done the job so i dont know what do i was looking into adpotion today but having that mindset of not delivering a baby is hard

my doc suggest IuI but but is not 100%

maybe i should try 4th doc or ask for a trigger shot

depressing to wake up and fight the same battle

Hello everyone! I am a new member here but not new to ttc. Here is a little timeline of my story:

2/2011 - Off birth control, not actively trying but whatever happens, happens mentality.

8/2011 - Started getting a brownish discharge about 10 days before my period. Husband was getting out of military soon we just didn't know when. He was injured and the getting out process is crazy at that point we just knew it was happening soon. So I was a little stressed with when are we moving, when should I have my job lined up for, ect. I thought the discharge had to do with that. Needless to say we moved back to PA 11/2011 and this discharge continued. Early 2012 I went to see a doctor. She ordered ultrasounds but it was just the typical there is a cyst here or there and the next one they were gone and maybe another one here or there. I was annoyed I didn't get an answer other than we can put you on birth control but I didn't want that as we were ready to start trying. To this day I still get this discharge before my period some months and other months are normal.

6/2013 We started ttc. Went to another doctor and they didn't really have an answer for me either about discharge other than they could put me on clomid and see if that takes it away. So I was on clomid for 4 months and it did take the discharge away for that time period but no success on the ttc front.

7/2014 My husband had SA done. The first 2 showed lower results than one would like but not completely bad. The 3rd was just on the line for within normal limits. All tests were 3-4 weeks apart.

1/2015 Went to see a fertility specialist to see what they had to say because still no luck with ttc. I had a bunch of blood work done throughout my cycle and a hystocelopenogram done. Everything came back good. At this point she recommended an IUI for unexplained fertility with mild male factor. We decided we would give it a little longer and see what happens.

8/2015 Had a D&C done to clean me out and see if this would help with brown discharge and/or the ttc.

2/2016 I started back up with the fertility clinic and we are in the process of a work up for the IUI. We waited to long so I had all my bloodwork drawn again. My husband is scheduled with them at end of March for his SA and IUI prep. Hopefully by April or May we will be set up to do the IUI.

This has been my journey so far. In the middle of all this I tried essential oils, pre-seed, and most recently the last 2 months I have used the soft cups. Every month I analyze all my symptoms and think/hope this is the month. I have never had any pregnancy or miscarriage. My cycle is regular 28-30 days. It is defiantly discouraging/disapointing month after month.

I have been doing a lot of research just recently on IUI success and IVF and my head is spinning. Our insurance does not cover any of it so it will be all out of pocket which sucks but if it doesn't work I think that will suck even more. It stresses me just thinking about it. What I am finding is IUI success is not that much more than a regular month so I can not see having multiple attempts with no luck. The cost around here is ~$1,500 for the IUI and ~$19,000 for the IVF. But looking at the success rates of IVF being 68% it makes me think maybe we should just go that route. But if we have luck after 3 IUI then that would only be ~$4,500 which is a lot less than IVF. But if it doesn't work then we just wasted all that money. But there is no guarantee with IVF. So maybe we should just look to adoption. But I want my own baby too........ this is my head for the last week and I don't know what to do or think or anything!! This is what made me look for a support system. So thanks for listening to my crazy!!!

 

[AngelaALA]

FX for all you guys I really hope we all get our BFPS soon, I really hope this cycle is a winner for me as I now know I've only got one more shot of Clomid before they review my case then after that if they don't allow me to have Clomid for a further 3 months will be IVF xx

 

[halei2715]

Hey, y'all! So DH and I have been ttc since November. Doctor started us on Metformin and 50 mg of Clomid. Now, we're up to 200 mg. Went for day 13 follicle check and it revealed 5 large follicles on my right ovary and one fair-sized one on the left. Doing lots of BDing, but the 2ww is killer! So glad I found this "club" thread. Does Clomid give any of you guys hot flushes, or is just me?

 

[AngelaALA]

Welcome halei your in your TWW too how many DPO I'm in TWW too can test on 12th so nervous. I was only on 50mg took at night and did get hot flushes xx

 

[halei2715]

I think I'm in the 2ww period? Day 1 was Feb. 16... Day 10 was February 26 (beginning of ovulation?), and day 20 (end of ovulation?) will be March 8. Am I in the 2ww yet? I'm new to this!

 

[Nikky86]

when i finally wanted to start getting pregnant i had irregular period and short period all screwed up
so i went to one doctor and he did the dye test all good with that
so he said i wasnt ovulating he gave me #50 that didnt work then said increase #50 more if that doest work increase more even put me on metamorphine like if i had pcos i though i did and
when i switch to a especiliast he did all the test agians
he said i didnt have pcos and said #100 and then progesterone check
ddidnt ovulate
on #150 i did ovulate checked with progesterone level
so that cycle didnt succeed
now the one i just did temps where high and seems i ovulated
But negative on Af

So im ovulating but stil no BFP
im thinking about taking supplements to better the eggs seeing if that helps

 

[AngelaALA]

Yes sounds like it hun as soon as you O you go into TWW how did you realise O did you do OPK once you knew you had good follicles exciting for you hope you get your BFP

Well I'm DPO4 I really want 8 days to go quick so I can test really hoping I get my BFP xx

 

[AngelaALA]

Welcome Nicky here's hoping you get your BFP soon have you thought about other things to try like IUI and IVF xx what have the Docs suggested have they not tried follicle tracking to see how your follicles look before O xx

 

[halei2715]

I think this reply was for me... I didn't use an OPKs. Up until now, I thought follicles were eggs... So now, I'm a little disheartened. I've been reading a bit and it seems that a follicle has to be at least 18 mm to release. My doctor updated the info on our patient portal, and the measurements for my follicles were as follows: 23,124, 21,353, 14.194, 80.416 and 48. (Yes, the last two are correct... No typos. Hahaha!) So maybe if my research holds true, we'll have at least one good egg with 4 out of 5 follicles meeting the 18 mm minimum mark.

[AngelaALA]

Halel2745 yes that reply was for you from my understanding it is the same if follicle is big it means there's a decent mature egg developing my follicles had already burst I couldn't see anything but the doc showed me three good sized follicles and showed me were the egg had burst through them possibly she said one was more dominant than the other two and had already started to collapse meaning O was a few days ago which is what I thought as I believe O was on Monday due to the severe abdominal pain I felt and Doc said that pain was more than likely due to the release of three eggs xx

 

[AngelaALA]

And also that's sounds really good definitely sounds like you will have more than one good egg there xx
