Clomid...Hoping 3rd Times a Charm

Thank you girls for checking out ingredients for me. Just checked my list and sucralose is on my allowed list!! I guess it is all the sweeteners with the ending -ol that I can't have! I will write more later. ..just wanted to send out a quick thank you!!
 
Erin nice temp spike after ovulation. your chart looks great and it good to hear your hostile cm can be taken care of. i hope this is your cycle. i have heard of women scheduling there hsg and having to cancel due to bfp. i hope that's you! baby dust to all.

i bought that fertilitycm stuff. so far so good. it came with baby dust. i thought it was a cute gesture.
 
I just want to share this vlog I came cross. She struggled for about 2 years with infertility. I think she got pregnant from the first IUI. I think she & her husband are just really fun.

Hi FBG! I feel like it's been a while, good to hear from you (unless I just missed more posts!). Yes I'm thrilled with my temps so far. :) I'm not gonna worry about dips when they happen this time. I'll just think positively and hope it's implantation, hehe. I'm still feeling good about this cycle. In fact, I'm feeling good about everyone's cycles....I don't know what it is, but I just have this gut feeling. :flower:

Cute that the fertilecm came with baby dust, love that! Let me know if you notice a lot of difference because I've thought about trying that too. The robitussin did definitely give me better cm, but I'd love to have more EW.

I ordered a fertility candle that came with baby dust. I haven't use it in a couple of months.

I think if I am not this cycle, I am going to try something other than preseed. My husband doesn't really like it as much anymore.
 
Savvy, I'm so glad you can have that sweetener! That works out good, because I imagine there are a lot out there that have it. Great news! Btw, hope you're enjoying your vaca!

Beaglemom, thanks for sharing the video, I'm looking forward to watching it! You also reminded me there was a vid I wanted to share as well... It's a little video on how the sperm makes it to the egg. I found it fascinating... it's a miracle that anyone gets pregnant, lol!

I came across this in another forum...I warn you it is 1 of ...total of about an hour. It shows the entire process f sperm meeting egg where the sperm are representing by half women half me for the x & y chomosone. I just don't get why our bodies don't just great the sperm & escort them safely to where they need to go.

So after my whining about OPKs the first one I took this AM turned + right away and the one I took this evening was + and very dark so all is well in the TTC world.

I am just super stressed with the holidays coming up and working 50+ hours a week. Hopefully the next 2 weeks will be slower work wise but lots of things going on with the kids @ school and family activities, plus I still have lots of holiday shopping to do.

Beaglemom I love the gift your husband got you, how thoughtful of him!

Erin, I'm glad you are working with your DR to get all the tests run so you can have a better picture but hopeful this is your month! I have high hopes for everyone and we are going to make this happen with support and positive thoughts.
 
Hi girls! Skipping dinner with my friends since my strict diet excludes just about everything and if I don't prepare it I don't eat it. Such a bummer on vacation but I do not want to get sick and restart an 8 week elimination diet all over again.

Thanks for information on robitussin...going to wait until I get home which will be cycle day 8 so I hope it isn't too late. So bummed that my opks and preseed are at home...still going to give it a shot and use opks when I get back. Going to try my modified smep plan again this month. I really think I was pregnant but something went wrong. But if I was pregnant that means it could happen again!

Missstacy, glad you are back on track with + opk. If you keep busy hopefully it will pass the tww time quickly!

Usually I reply on my computer. So I apologize for my posts using my phone. ..it just isn't the same!

I highly recommend this video. I watched it after ttc for about 2 months. It is long but totally worth it....really made me think and realize that every life is truly a miracle.
 
MissStacy, sooo happy you got the pos opk!! I know that was worrying you a bit, so I'm super happy you got the + and you can feel better about that now! Catch that eggie, girl. :flower:

Savvy, sorry you had to skip dinner. :( But I was happy to see a post from ya. :) Yep, you'll be more than fine starting the robitussin or mucinex when you get back on cd8. You mentioned you got a bbt thermometer too, right? You can start temping when you get back too.... No biggie if you don't have a full cycle worth of temps. You'll have the few days of lower temps before you O, and you'll still see a temp rise the day after O. Like I said, my very first chart ever only had a few days of pre-O temps, and I entered the dates I got the pos opk too, and FF was still able to confirm O after my temp went up. Btw, I completely agree with you that you were prego. They detected some hcg in your blood, so I'm actually really surprised that when their second test came back neg, that they didn't have you come in for an u/s to see what went on in there. I know they can't ever tell what went wrong that early, but it seems like a dr would at least want to do an u/s to see if they could see anything at all. Seems like they were pretty insensitive and a little too laid back about something like that. I suppose that's what's considered a chemical preg? I don't know a ton about that though, so maybe as long as they know your hcg levels went down, they didn't feel any additional tests were necessary. I know it's very common. :( Have you done blood work? Since this happened, maybe they need to check that your progesterone is sufficient. Well anyway, like you said, you got prego, so now you know you can conceive, yay!!! :flower:

Haven't had a chance to watch the long video yet, but I def plan to tomorrow. Im looking forward to it!
 
I am definitely planning on stopping at the drugstore on the way home from the airport to pick up some robitussin or mucinex and I do have a bbt that I can use and start temping wednesday morning...better late than never!

Deleted my entire message since it doesn't belong here...keeping positive thoughts here only!

Enjoy your weekend!
 
Allison, I just realized I forgot to answer your question on the old thread about whether or not I'd read the Making Babies book, so sorry! I guess you already know though, from this thread, since we've talked about it now, lol. Sorry about that though! That book has been SO interesting. Lots of interesting stuff and good tips. And I love that he also recommends the mucinex like we'd all been talking about. I like his views on trying so many other things before jumping to IVF. Most FS probably do not try those things first, so I'm hoping if I get to that point, that I'll have one who listens to me. (But I'm still really hopeful about this month though!)
 
so last night my breasts felt heavy...not too abnormal...sometimes I get that...also a little achy feeling but I slept wrong a couple of nights ago and I thought the ache in my back and neck was just spreading. but I woke up this morning and they itch and feel sore. hard to describe...almost like there is sand in them or something...also pretty intense cramping off & on. Have not seen any spotting.

Oh beaglemom, sounds like good stuff! So you say the the heavy feeling isn't too different, but is that itchy/sore feeling something you don't normally get? I'm looking forward to you testing tomorrow. :)
 
Itching is not usual and it is just the nipple area.

Probably nothing...again trying not to read too much in to it.
 
So beaglemom.... did you test today??

Tested this AM with FRER & got a negative. Still early...but I am now seeing light brown spotting. Not a lot really...but also very familiar to my last few cycles. So we will see. Plan to test again Wednesday.
 
Fingers crossed for Wednesday Beaglemom!

How is everyone else feeling?
