isi - happy birthday hun and thanks for the cake...funny I am baking one now for my husbands cousin!

emma - sorry about the BFN hun, but you arent out of it yet!

Smile - I usually notice a appetite increase in the 2ww...so yeah that is normal. The Robitussin will help to liquify your current cm...less lumpier the better...LOL if that makes sense.

Caz - Take the robitussin up until Ov

DM - OMG you always say the funniest things....LOL

Simi - Glad to hear all went well with the surgery. Love the ticker!!!!

Britt - how are you feeling hun?

Well ladies, I am 14dpo and no sign of Oving but I guess by the end of the week I should have Oved. My softcups got here today so i will get to use them for bding this week, I am very excited!

You go girl!!!!!

 

[caz & bob]

[mrphyemma]

Good Luck catching the golden egg/s ttc and have fun using the soft cups. I want a full and frank report xx

 

[ttcbaby117]

hahaha thanks ladies...yep I cant wait to try them out...I really hope they work....I just wish the DH will hurry up and come home!

 

[babyloulou]

You'll love them TTC- no leakage!!

 

[caz & bob]

so you can get stuck in haha i wouldnt use them softcups me like it will my legs in the air for 20 minutes xxxxx

 

[lisaf]

I'd like a report also! I have my pack of softcups ready.

 

[ttcbaby117]

I promise...i will have a report for you tomorrow. I hope it does the trick this is my last chance before surgery...ugh! I hate to say this but I am kinda excited...weird huh?

 

[babyloulou]

I couldn't sing the praises of Softcups more!! Especially along with LOADS of Preseed! Winning combination! Good luck girls xxx

 

[lisaf]

I remember someone mentioning squirting the preseed into the softcup to avoid the over-lubrication that their OH didn't like.... Anyone have any thoughts on that?

 

[babyloulou]

I did try that for a couple of cycles lisa- but then I started to worry my cm would still be hostile then! The month I got the bfp I used it properly- I inserted it right up into my cervix though and it didn't seem as slippy in there xx

 

[caz & bob]

night girls xxxx

 

[ttcbaby117]

Lisa - I am going to put the preseed into the cup because dh hates preseed. I have heard people have success with it, but I am also drinking green tea and grapefruit juice and taking robitussin...so hopefully that will help with the cm.

Hey, all!
BUTTERCUP-HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GIRL!

SMILE-Ugh! this 2ww SUCKS. DPO5. Rats! I'm dying over here! Can we push "Fast-Forward" and get to DPO10, atleast?! And I'm totally pigging out. I think it's the Clomid's fault. Good thing I work out mornings...Although, I did gain 2 pounds in the last week....hmmm...Maybe I should stop binging?!

TTC-FX for you! Update us on the cup.

me...I'm okay, a little moody today. I wish there was something remarkable going on, but there's not... I just finished 2 bags of M&Ms...It didn't seem to help the hunger or my mood! Grrrr. I am so impatient! I am just ready to get over this week and move on to next month if I'm not pregnant... I'm so hopeful, though, it's sick, really! I just really have my sights set high...I'm afraid it will make things hurt a lot more when the preg test is not positive....Ho-hum.

 

[lisaf]

onelildream - Oh boy do I feel you! Thats how I am every single cycle.. impatient for the wait to be over and to just know one way or the other.... getting my hopes up then feeling halfway ill because of the fear of it all being false hopes and crashing emotionally. Every single cycle I tell myself I'm going to be a lot more laid back about it.. then I can't help it.

Half the temptation for taking a cycle or two off is just the unimaginable relief I'd feel at NOT having anything to flip out over after ovulation... it sounds like some kind of fantasy to me... to be able to just wait for my period and NOT obsess/hope/worry.

 

[Smile4me]

oh ladies we are all in the same boat.... I continue to do he OPK's six days past ovulation and I am still getting a faint line .. last month I didn't get any lines so ....

Onelildream hunni stay hopeful - I know exactly what you are sayen, its like we are wishing our lives away by counting every day ... wishing weeks away I seriously cannot believe how fast this month went by.

OH we have to get some BFP's ladies!!!!

OMG I have been eating like a pig, I will finish my meal and want something sweet, then something salty... I have been eating fat free ice cream, which I never do and then baked lays, then I want chocolate..haha! I soooo have to work out but I'm nervous I might miscarry, I know it sounds dumb but I don't want any regrets.. so I'm sitting here after taking my daughter to the mall for two hours (at least we walked the mall) and am watching the office... I needed to get out of the house to get my mind off of every little symptom...

Lou or anyone else that has gotten thier BFP notice your cm get lotion like after ovulation or is that normal, as I have never noticed before.

Hi. Im new here. I have been TTC for over 2 years now with my husband. With no luck. Last week i went to my dr and he gave me Provera 10mg, Metformin 500mg 3 times a day and clomid to take on days 5-9 of my cycle. But i have been having all of these pregnancy symptoms but every test says neg. What would happen if i was pregnant and didn't know and started taking the provera?

We really want a baby really really bad. Since we have been TTC my sister in law has been pregnant twice... I just want it to finally happen to us. How many of you have has success with clomid and metformin?? and how long did it take you to get pregnant?? im starting my provera on saturday so i can have the weekend to see how my body reacts to the meds.. Also what side effects did you have?

Thank you all for reading this!!!
LOTS OF BABY DUST TO EVERYONE!!!
i hope we all get

 

[Onelildream]

Praying- Welcome! We are all pretty friendly here! Sadly, I am on my FIRST round of Clomid, so IDK how long it takes to get a BFP! Haha. I am not on Provera, nor Metformin either, so idk about that. Sorry. I was on cycle 3-7 with Clomid... I hear lotsa women get pregnant the first time they use it, so good luck, Hun... For me sideeffects have just been REALLY OBVIOUS and PAINFUL ovulation. But I'm happy to know the meds did the job! And I did have a nasty migraine one day...Other than that, nothing.
Keep us updated! Fingers crossed for you!

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Thanks soooo much, ladies . I had an absolutely wonderful day

Mrph, how are you today hun?

Smile, Onelil and Caz....good luck with your 2ww girls. I'll be here cheering you ladies on .

I am also praying for twins, Onelil!! That would just be the answer to my prayers, I tell you!! Is there any reason you're using clomid now if you were able to conceive naturally before? I ovulate on my own, but have only one good tube, which is why I'm on clomid now.

Smile, yep clomid has turned my diet upside down . But I intend to get serious, starting TODAY, and shun all those high carb treats. I pray I can hold out

Good luck too Simi. I also had some adhesions from a previous surgical procedure.....but my doctor cleared these during the laporoscopy I had in February, but I didn't have a coil inserted though. I pray it all goes well for you

Welcome on board, Praying4ababy

Ttc....ooooh, was it your husband's cuz's birthday as well? Lovely!!! Have fun with the girl....and the soft cups as well.

Ladies, I think I need a proper schooling. I take prenatal vitamins (Pregnacare Conception).....are these safe after ovulation? At what point in your cycle is grapefruit juice recommended? I am only just about to invest in some Preseed.....do I really need soft cups as well (I am ever so squeamish ). Sometimes, I'm not sure I'm doing enough.....

 

[babyloulou]

Smile4me- yes I got the lotion like CM- especially in my bfp month! Also got the opks that got darker and darker all second half of the cycle! Fingers crossed for you xx

Praying4ababy- I got my bfp last cycle. I wasn't on metformin but have PCOS and was on my 4th cycle of Clomid- I had never ovulated before Clomid. As for side effects- mine were awful and I got everyone going! Totally worth it now though!

Buttercup- yes Pregnacare are safe all cycle. I took Pregnacare, folic acid and Mumomega fish oils all cycle. I also drank a glass of grapefruit juice and a cup of decaff green tea every day of my cycle. Preseed is great- it's up to you whether you try softcups too. I used them but others have got bfps with just Preseed xx
