Clomid round 3 anyone else?

[Noele0002]

Cntrygrl- Wow that worked I just added 1 fake temp the day before my O drop. Well according to FF now AF is due tomorrow. Praying AF stays away!!

Hi all

Noele-the cramps are slightly better on the Clomid as cycles arent so long, dont know why they get so bad though as dont have endo or anything, strange
Do you have any signs of anything? I'm CD29 today and have bought 2 tests! First time in years, I'm too scared to use them though, was going to test Tomoro morning but today had the pain in my stomach on the right side so that makes me think it's af but at the same time I dont feel like af is about to start like I have the last 2 cycles, ooh I dont know what to do, just cant cope with seeing a bfn then af turning up, would be horrible
I didnt want to feel like af is coming but now I dont feel that way I think I haventmgot enough signs to be pregnancy,my body cant win with what it does lol

How is everyone else? Xx

 

[Noele0002]

Star- I understand how you feel about not wanting to see a BFN. Maybe wait until tomorrow or even to be on the safe side wait until Monday if you can hold out that long. I really really hope you see a BFP though!!! It's way too hard to pick through the symptoms because Clomid, pregnancy, and AF all have similar symptoms.

AFM- No symptoms of anything but just have a feeling AF is right around the corner... I digress out my AF is due between tomorrow and Tuesday. I am going to test on Monday if AF hasn't shown yet.

 

[star25]

Hi, I might do it this morning as have work Tomoro morning,I dreamt last night that af came as I was poas,it felt so real and was a relief when I woke up, might have to test to stop me going crazy!
I hope af isn't round the corner for you xx

 

[star25]

Ive done it and got a bfn, not surprising but still dont feel like af is coming,maybe I didnt ovulate but ive had signs of it so will have to wait and see when it turns up xx

 

[Noele0002]

Star- Sorry about the BFN but like we always say... Your not out until AF arrives. I'm glad you don't have any symptoms of AF. I've got my fingers crossed for you

 

[star25]

Thank you, I should have listened to you and waited to test lol
I don't actually feel as bad as what I thought I would, I think because I don't feel like AF is coming im not too discouraged at the bfn just have to remember not out til the witch shows xx

 

[cntrygrl]

Star-- I had a dream I had gotten my period the month I got my BFP. You never know with our subconscious.

Noelle-- I thought it might be because you didn't have a solid temp before O. Glad it worked and you got your crosshairs.

AFM-- My arms got sunburned yesterday and I got a tattoo at the convention we went to. We knew the artist already and DH had work done by him before. I now have a four leaf clover on my right calve. I find them all the time, but I've got to be one of the unluckiest people. My symptom is still these damn sore boobs and I'm not sure what's up with my temps.

 

[Noele0002]

Well ladies.... The witch just arrived for me right on schedule I am a little sad but not too upset. I figured it wouldn't happen this cycle and I have to look at the positives. I'm still trying to lose some weight and I've lost 4 lbs in the last month but still have another 23 lbs to go to reach my goal. So I guess this gives me another month to try. Also, volleyball starts next week for me so at least this gives me a for sure month of playing volleyball with my team. (I wouldn't obviously play if I got a BFP).

So my plan is to call my doctor tomorrow morning and get a cd 3 ultrasound scheduled so he can check out my ovaries, lining, and cysts. Then we got from there. Also, waiting for my DH's SA results he had it done on Friday so hopefully hear back soon.

Have a good rest of your weekend ladies!!

 

[star25]

Sorry to hear that noele glad you sound positive though and hope the day 3 scan goes well, I'll be joining you soon as feel the witch on her way, waste of a test yesterday

What cycle day are you on cntrygrl?

How is everyone else?
X

 

[cntrygrl]

Noele-- Sorry AF got you. Hopefully you hear about DH's SA results soon. Yay for losing 4lbs. It always feels nice when you step on the scale and see your work paying off.

Star-- I am at 14dpo my LP is normally 17 days. A little crampy today and my back is acting up some.

 

[star25]

I dont know what dpo I am but I'm cd31 today and feel just like you lower back ache and a little bit crappy but not pain like I normally have before I come on, I normally get af pains a few days before but this time just lower back ache and a full feeling in stomach
Hope af doesnt get you x

 

[Noele0002]

Star & Cntrygrl- Thank you ladies! I am feeling positive (even though AF showed) I can handle AF showing up every month but telling DH that AF showed up again and again and seeing the sadness and disappointment on his face is what I can't handle. DH is four years older than me and has wanted a baby for more than two years before we started TTC but I wasn't ready at the time. So its just hard breaking the news to him! He hides his feelings pretty well but I can see it in his face... But hopefully we get things figured out soon. I'm feeling very confident with our new doctor.

TMI Question for all you ladies who have had an Ultrasound/ cd 3 Ultrasound done... I have never had an Ultrasound so I have no idea what to expect. From what I understand they insert some kind of want thing to view my ovaries right? I'm assuming it doesn't hurt? Also, I'm kind of nervous and embarrassed that it is going to be on cd 3... I will still have AF and that just seems really gross that my MALE doctor will be down in that area :-/ I'm already uncomfortable because I've never had a male OBGYN and the only other male that has been down there for medical purposes was the radiologist who preformed the HSG but I was so worried it was going to be painful that I didn't pay attention to the male radiologist. Lol I know I am probably being a giant baby but I just feel nervous, embarrassed and a little uncomfortable about the whole situation. Do they let you go to the bathroom first and take out your tampon or pad before hand? I'm worried I'm going to bleed on the table... Lol oh I know I sound ridiculous but I have all these thoughts going through my head. Insight of your experiences would be much appreciated Thank you

 

[Nurse_Starr]

HEY guys!

Noele- sorry about af but you seem very upbeat about it. I hope the scan goes well!

AFM- I got my pos opk Saturday so I believe I ovulated over the weekend we have been bd'ing since cd 10 so hopefully we catch the egg. I have an appt with my obgyn a new one on the 30th I will be asking for an HSG and a SA for hubby but I pray we wont need those things but hey lets face it the body does what it wants to do not necessarily what we want it to do.

 

[cntrygrl]

Noele-- They should definitely let you use the bathroom first. Why are you getting them done on CD3? It isn't painful at all. I've had the internal ultrasounds quite a few times for ovaries and when I had both SIS' done. It is embarrassing I understand that. When I was in the ER and they need a pee sample a guy originally had come in to set up the tray to pee into. I had DH ask him if a female could come back to collect it cause at that point my uterus had started to pass everything.

I get one done on cd 3 every month to make sure I don't have cysts or my lining is not to thin to start clomid the next month. They always make me use the bathroom first thing before going in. It does not hurt at all. They barely stick the wand inside you. I was grossed out at first to and thought it was odd but then I just relaxed and reminded myself they do this for a living. I'm not their first and won't be there last.

I meant CRAMPY in this post not crappy!

 

[star25]

Hi, Noele ive had 3 scans but have been mid cycle, you're supposed to have an empty bladder for a transvaginal scan anyway so they will let you go to the toilet first, they literally don't hurt whatsoever at all, I understand about the male bit because my last one I had was mid cycle round 1 of clomid so my fertility specialist done it and its the first time a male had done it, it was ok though coz they dont need to look to see what they are doing if you know what I mean as you will have a sheet across your lap and they know where they're going without looking and then they are so busy looking at the computer screen its like they're not doing what they're doing (Good explanation I know!)
It is a wand and it has a plastic clear bag thing on it to cover it so don't worry about any mess, you will be fine xx

 

[star25]

And I understand about letting your DH down, I felt awful when I tested yesterday and told him it was a bfn, he doesn't admitt how much he wants it but I sense the disappointment in his voice, thats why I dont like testing too but I have to be careful at work because of caring for aggressive residents so cant always just wait it out if have work, my lower back ache has gone, if AF does come I hope its not until wednesday as I didnt put my prescription in doctors soon enough and it wont be ready until thursday!

 

[Noele0002]

I love you ladies Thanks for making me feel so much better about the ultrasound. This will be my first one so that's why I'm a little anxious.

Nurse- I hope you caught the egg and I also hope your TWW flies by fast!

Cntrygrl- We are doing a cd 3 ultrasound because we are checking for cysts and my lining to determine whether or not we will be doing a Lap- surgery. Thanks for your insight Praying AF does not show for you!!

Dannixo- You are right and that makes me feel a lot better to think about it that way. They do cd 3 ultrasounds all the time so I'm not the only one! Thanks

Star- Thanks! I feel much better about the situation now after talking to all of you ladies! I'm really praying AF doesn't show for you! How many rounds of Clomid have you done now? How many do you plan on doing before moving to something else?

Again, thank you ladies so much!!

Tundralife- How are you doing?
