[cntrygrl]

Elle--Yay for O-ing soon! Lol we were supposed to be cycle buddies. Damn my O--ing early

 

[Starlight2012]

Elle - hope you O soon and catch that eggy this cycle so excited it is almost Friday - yay!

cntrygirl - i really like using softcups - figure it can't hurt and they are pretty easy to use!

ready2bmum - that is great that you got O confirmed and that you like your specialist! I hope you feel better soon. since DH doesn't like preseed, sometimes I use half the amount and just don't tell him about it, lol.

sara - have everything crossed for you that this is your cycle! how many dpo are you now?

Thank you Starlight!!! I have everything crossed too!!! Im guessing im 8 dpo, as I get my progesterone level tested on day 24. I dont do OPK's cause they dont register for me, so I stopped wasting money so I never really know when Im O'ing, I just make sure The hubs and I get busy day 10-20 every other day per my doc, and then I go and Get my levels tested!

 

[Starlight2012]

sara - are you planning on testing at some point or just wait to see if AF shows? I have just started into my TWW and usually it isn't too bad, but I am going crazy and not sure what to do with myself!!!!

Hello Ladies!!!! Hope u dont mind if I join : ) I'll be going on my first round of monitored clomid next week. Hubby and I have been ttc for 3 years now, both perfectly fine with all test so now moving on to the pills. Im feeling anxious, scared and excited all at the same time. I did try soy but it did nothing really but make me in a bad mood lol. good luck to you ladies, I hope to see lots of bfp


btw I try to keep up but its hard since im so busy at work.



Me:29
Him:33

Welcome Family1st! In hope clomid brings you a BFP soon!

 

[MrsElsie]

Hi Family1st welcome to the forum! I've been trying for 3 years too, and started clomid 2 months ago (after using it once a year ago, when I actually fell pg naturally the month after but later mc'd). It has made my cycles more predictable - do you normally have regular cycles? It's good that there are no known problems, although it probably makes it more frustrating for you!

I had a polyp removed in September, and started clomid 50mg in October, which made me ovulate on day 21 but didnt get pg. Then I took 100mg in November and fell pg but had an early mc, so it definitely works! I'm now waiting for my next true period to start again with 100mg. Actually ovulated naturally again today or yesterday, so i might even be in with a chance this cycle.

Good luck with the clomid, hopefully it will dot he trick for you.

To all the other ladies, sorry I havent been chatting much lately - I've just caught up on lots of posts.

And horsey I know you asked days ago now but I had a HSG and an Aquascan (which I think is the same as the other thing you asked about). I took paracetamol and ibuprofen for both of them. I got really worried about the HSG but it was very quick and I just felt a few cramps while they were doing it, but it only lasted about 30 seconds and I felt silly after for getting so panicked about it. I was straight back to work after and had no further pain. The Aquascan was slightly more painful and took more like 7-8 minutes, I got cramps when they pumped the saline in. Again no further side effects afterwards. But it really isnt worth getting worried about, the pain was worth it to get more information! Hope the femara works for you.

So frustrated with myself today, ladies. I completely missed my dose of Clomid last night, somehow, and am worried that I'll now be out for this month.

 

[Family1st]

Hi Mrselsie thx and yes I have regular cycles on point to the T. I even feel when I'm o'ing. I'm sorry about your miscarriages. I'm confused as to why clomid would do that. Is it because clomid releases premature eggs maybe. I'm concerned about that bcuz u wait so long for bfp then it results in miscarriage. It's s art but we have to stay positive. Good luck to us this cycle and to all the ladies fx

Hello to the newbies who have joined us! goodlck on your cycles!

Puppymommy - don't worry if you missed it. My dr recommended teh following: if you forget to take it - take it as soon as you remember. If you miss it entirely (and it's time for your next dose) take the 2 doses together.

Starlight - glad tohear you have O'd. welcome to the TWW ..how are you handling it?

AFM - i'm pretty sure i'm ~ half way through my TWW...although i'm still not paying attention to my dpo. When the one side of my brain wants to think about DPO or TWW..the other side of my brain starts saying "LA-LA LA...LA-LA LA...LA-LA LA". LOL..my DH laughs that this is waht i do when he's talking to me about something boring.

TTC can be frustrating and draining especially when we are in this constant cycle of back and forth to the clinic to get clomid to get bloodwork to get ultrasounds. (for those of you that are being monitored on clomid). And for those of you not monitored it's frustrating to figure out if you O'd this time or not!

Despite all that, it's really great to have YOU ladies here to support one another. I know that it helps make my TTC go just that little bit better

Goodluck to all of you this cycle, whether you are waiting for O, have just O'd...or like me are somewhere in the TWW....

I wish I could jsut wait and see if AF shows. I get so nervous about it I test all the time. I think this month im going to wait, till atleast cd35 to test, cause that is noramlly when AF comes.....so by day 35 if no AF....I'll test! and Pray it gives me a BFP!!!! I know the feeling of not bieng sure what to do w/ myself! that is for sure!!

And I did check back on my Website and My progesteron was 19.3 so Im thinking that is good???

 

[Starlight2012]

Family1st - welcome!! good luck on your first round of monitored clomid

MrsElsie - haven't seen you around in a bit, how are you doing??

puppymom - on this cycle, i took a pill about 12 hours late as i also forgot, but it didn't seem to impact O, so likely that all is okay! what did you end up doing?

breaking dawn - seems like you are holding up pretty well through your TWW and you're halfway done already! i am hardly into my TWW and for some reason it is going by super slow this time around! usually i am more impatent for waiting to O then the TWW flies by but it doesn't seem that way this time so far. the weekend is almost here and i think that will help to distract and speed things up!!

laurabe - that's great that you've got 2 follies and hope that you O soon! are you using OPKs are going back for scans until you O?

sara - sorry i don't know much about progesterone levels. my doctor just tells me if the levels are good or not but never gives me the number! i am the same with testing - I always intend to wait until a missed AF, but test all the time and usually way to early, hahah. on that note I just ordered some tests from the online earlypreganancy store, and they are on their way to me now! in the past i had bought them from the drug store, but they are so expensive! ($20 for 2)

 

[sara115597]

Starlight what website did you use for the PG tests? Did you get them cheaper?

 

[Starlight2012]

Starlight what website did you use for the PG tests? Did you get them cheaper?

sara - i used this site: https://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/ i find it is great if you are in the US/Canada. Free shipping for orders over $15 and there are lots of things like OPKs, HPTs, Preseed, etc

 

[Murmers0110]

Well af got me. Now to move on to the next cycle! I think I am going to have more sex this go round lol. DH better bring it! Lol

Thanks hun, I just orederd!!! super cheap! NOw we can test EVERYDAY!! Lol!!! What cycle day are you on?

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Speaking of HPT tests...I never buy the cheap tests online from earlypregnancy knowing that if I've got them and they are cheap I'll use them!

I have no will power if they are in the house!

But then on the flip side...if I end up caving I've got to by the expenive 2x$20 tests.

You can't win!!! LOL

 

[Starlight2012]

murmurs - sorry to hear about AF, but your positive attitude is amazing! yes your hubby better be ready to get busy, hehe.

sara - yay, you ordered the test! you wasted no time and got right on that! for that price, i figure you can't go wrong i am only 3 dpo and time is just crawlllling!

breaking dawn - i always say that i won't test and will wait, but every month i cave and buy the super expensive ones! so this month, i decided to stock up on some cheapies! i also have no will power, so likely these HPTs won't last long....lol
