Clomid & male factor infertility

[MySillyGirls]

Hi, there! The hcg trigger was out of my system by a week after the shot, but I heard it takes around 10 days. I am all messed up with dates since Thanksgiving...when is your OTD?? Early next week?? SOOO exciting!!

Yeah, the Starbucks thing was pretty cool!! I needed that. Of course, I didn't even think about doing it for the person behind me....I was on my cell with a coworker and soo rattled by the free coffee. LOLLL! Awesome on the bills! Everything will work out. This is where faith comes in, I guess

Really? A week? I should have started testing earlier to see. I guess if it gets darker...i'll know right? It was so faint I don't even know if you could call it a line. i just know that it was there because i have taken probably 200 tests over the past few years and never saw anything. Today was 12 days since the shot...i took it on the 17th. I don't know what OTD stands for but I go for my blood work on Friday. I go first thing and won't find out til that afternoon...that is going to be a looooong day.

I totally get how you could be thrown off with the free coffee...it threw me for a loop too. If I was on my cell I would have been rattled too....but we aren't allowed to use cell phones and drive anymore here (since July). It's hard! I think it just makes people text down low now which is even worse because you have to hide your phone. oh well...I guess it alot safter in the long run but I had a friend get a ticket for talking on her phone while parked in a parking lot but her keys were in the ignition...how crazy is that?

hey girls,

so mirf u tested and positive...thats great news! let us know how it looks 2moro!

wow thats so nice about the starbucks things girls....really nice!

i cant believe they only stopped u guys talking on cell phones in july! we havent been allowed to talk on a mobile phone in the car here for the past 10 years. i got fined 10 years ago...We all have bluetooth built into the cars so it is alot easier - but people still do talk with the actual phone which surprises me as the fines are ridiculously high!

 

[MySillyGirls]

Hiya, girls! Our state governments are trying to pass the no-cell thing but it is on a state by state basis. They are also trying to ban the texting. There are some cities, like Chicago, that have already passed the laws...they don't allow you to talk without a headset. But, unless you are in the city, there is no current law in place in Illinois.

Miranda, are you using FRERs to test? Hugs!

I think our is by Province as well. Not by city though. BC always seems to be the first to do what people don't want....then our Premier quits right after he puts a new 12% tax in place and spends a buttload of money on the Olympics. Anyway....enough bout that......

Yes! Using First Response. Took another this morning and it came up faster and darker. It's still very faint but I don't have to squint to see it at all. Could this be real? My boobs don't hurt anymore as of this morning so it's kinda scaring me. It's been 13 days since the trigger......I HOPE it's out of my system.....the stick wouldn't be darker from yesterday if it was still in there, would it? Ahhh...I'm like a crazy woman now.

 

[pink32]

sounds promising to me Mirf! i wouldnt know about the trigger and how long it takes to get out of your system?! but i think after 13 days should be gone!

seeing your lines are getting darker i def think this is a positive sign!

 

[Mamamirfy]

I got two more tests for tomorrow and Thursday and then I have my blood test on Friday. I'm a total addict. I knew once I took one I would be done for. LOL. Oh well, it gives me something to look forward to....this has been a long week.

 

[pink32]

thats why i didnt test! i thought if i start i wont be able to stop lol....i agree it has been a long week...what sucks is you go for your bloods then u gotta wait till afternoon for results...its sheer torture...

i remember the day i went for bloods i had the biggest cramps - felt like af was coming on...they lasted a few good weeks...i even get them sometimes now but not very often... When the FS nurse finally called me with the results i cried i was so happy! lol

and she goes to me "but its still early days yet" - i'm like i know! you have to be such a cow just be happy for me!

i have my fingers crossed for u hunni...it will be positive - for sure

 

[Mamamirfy]

Who says that??? "it's still early days!" Why would she even say that....that's awful. Would she say that to someone else that just got pregnant.

I posted pics of the two tests on my journal if you want to peek. I didn't wanna force it upon you. I wish I knew exactly when that trigger would be out of my system.

 

[MySillyGirls]

Miranda, I just popped over to your journal to look at your tests. THAT IS A BFP!! It is just a little lighter than the bfp i had with my daughter and I didn't test with a frer until af was due. Holy cow!!! Your trigger should definitely NOT be in your system any longer.

 

[Mamamirfy]

Really?!?!?!?! Yippee! I was trying not to get excited because I worried that it could be the trigg. Because it got darker it has given me hope. Eeek.....this is crazy. I jsut wish it was Friday already

 

[pink32]

i just had a look at ur pics too and it definately looks like a bfp to me too! yay! bring on friday!

 

[Mamamirfy]

Ok- I realize im obsessed. Please don't judge. I took another and it was darker still. It's now been 14 days since the trigger and all the research most said it would be gone by 10 and even the skeptics said 14 so.....i'm still having a hard time believing this. It's just been so many years of trying and never seeing two lines. I'm hoping that when I get the blood test back I'll believe it. It sucks....i have waited to see two lines for so long and now im not even believing i could be pregnant. If my cycle stayed the same as during this crazy month then I'm due for AF tomorrow.

 

[MySillyGirls]

girl, it is a bfp. there is no way that trigger would still be in your system AND darker. No way at all. CONGRATS!!!

And, then there was one... LOL

 

[MySillyGirls]

and, who am i to judge?? LOL...i started testing at 5dp3dt and never even had a glimpse of a line.

 

[Mamamirfy]

Ok! Thanks. I'm starting to believe. Mostly because had to run to get sick this morning while I was trying to get dressed. I have aweak tummy as is but this was for no reason. I wonder if it was twins if I would get sick sooner?

You'll get your BFP- do u know when you're starting? I'm so happy you got the meds from your friend - what a bonus.

 

[pink32]

CONGRATULATIONS MIRF! that's awesome news! its def a bfp!!!! bring on friday for official confirmation!xoxoxxo

 

[MySillyGirls]

Hey, Miranda! I don't start til beginning of Jan.

Soo excited for you!! This is awesome! Do you think twins? They do give you a higher hcg earlier (hence earlier morning sickness symptoms)

 

[Mamamirfy]

Thanks Pinky!! Can't wait for Friday xo

Lesley - It could be? She that my chance of twins was 50% because they were AA Blasts. she said they both had a very good chance of implanting so to prepare for twins. Everywhere I read said morning sickness doesn't start until the 5th week...i've been feeling gross for a few days and have gotten sick....only time will tell I suppose January is close...especially with December always flying by so quickly

 

[MySillyGirls]

OK, regarding the morning sickness, I did have one weird nausea event before I even knew I was pg with my daughter. I would have been about 12 or 13 dpo. I went to lunch with my new boss and suddenly felt nausea hot/cold...like I was going to pass out. I remember this to this day because I was MORTIFIED.

After that, I didn't feel sick again until I was about 7 weeks pg. Then it was pretty much daily until I was 12 weeks.
