Clomid !!

[IAmKai]

By the way, how soon do you ladies test? I know that I am only 9ish DPO, but I admit I have already started because I just can't help myself. Am I just torturing myself?

 

[kel21]

Kai I usually start about 7dpo. I just can't help myself, and every month I swear I won't!

 

[IAmKai]

Kel, glad to know it's not me! Every time I have gotten a BFN this cycle, I say that I am going to hold out until at least 11 dpo. But now, I find myself wanting to test today. I hate that pregnancy symptoms and PMS symptoms are so similar. I'm going to try to hold out until Saturday, but I'm making no promises! By the way, even though I don't know tons about charts, yours looks awesome!

Thank you, Alex I'm with you on hoping to see more BFPs in this forum!

Hi NMich! I completely understand where you're coming from. So sorry that you're in a rough spot. I have a male RE, and I actually like him a lot. I felt the same way as you as far as having a male look at my lady bits. But I think with male doctors who specialize in women's reproductive systems, they've seen a million of *ahems* so it doesn't feel awkward at all. I prefer him to my female OB/GYN.
100mg of Clomid has worked well for me this cycle. This was my first round of Clomid and it was successful. Hang in there and look forward to seeing you on here.

Jess, holding pee is dreadful! Sometimes, i have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night forgetting that I want to test with FMU. It is a delicate dance. I just heard about the attacks yesterday. I am so very sorry. What is this world coming to? I guess that is a different story for a different forum. I don't blame you for not wanting to wait any longer than you have to. I wouldn't either. You don't want to miss any opportunities, and for us ladies especially, time is not something to be taken for granted. I hope June 11th comes quickly for you!

Totally Agree Hun, I Have to Get Up A Wee In The Night sometimes But It Always Seems To Happen When I Want To Use My FMU For OPK Or HPT. x X x

I Know What You Mean Hun, It's Terrible, One Day We Was Watching Telly Not Long Ago And They Must Have Announced Roughly 4 Stabbings One After Another Different Place Different People. It's Madness. But Thanks Hun & I Sure Hope It Goes Quickly Too. x X x

Also I Would Say It Depends When A women Should Start Using OPK's, I Know My Body Quite Well So The Earliest I Would Start Would Be Roughly CD10 As My Rough Ovulation Days Are Mostly From CD11-14. But If Your New To OPK's, Then Start Earlier Until You Figure Out Your Cycle's. x X x

 

[IAmKai]

Hey Jess. I should have specified and said HPTs. But I am actually glad that you told me about your thoughts on OPKs because I never know when to use those either. Whenever you ladies ovulate on Clomid, do you usually see AF two weeks later? My cycles for the past 12 months have been so long and drawn out, I don't know what it feels like to have a "normal" cycle.

 

[Dawn2411]

Iamkai, mine have been coming two weeks later with clomid.

 

[IAmKai]

Iamkai, mine have been coming two weeks later with clomid.

Oh wow, Dawn! Thanks for letting me know so that I'm not shocked if I don't have a regular 28 day cycle. How long were your cycles typically without Clomid? Do you think you ovulate two weeks later also on Clomid?

LOL My Bad. Never Mind . Glad I Could Help In One Way. x X x

I Don't Test Unless AF Is Late. Sometimes I Give In And Test Before Though But Nothing Before DPO12 As I Know Even If I Was Pregnant That I Wouldn't Get A +HPT On DPO12 Or Before. I Didn't Get +HPT Until I Was 4/5 Week's Pregnant With My DD & That Wasn't Even Positive It Was Just About And Felt Like It Took Forever To Come Up, Although It Was Probably Only 3 Minute's lol, Only Because My Doctor Was Holding The Test... Telling Me I Think It's Negative, No I Think Its Positive Over And Over Until She Finally Just Said It Is Positive. But Good Luck Hun. x X x

Wouldn't Have A Clue On The Clomid Question Hun, Sadly I Didn't Get to Start Mine This Cycle. x X x

I'm sorry, Jess. You just said that you weren't able to because of what is happening in London. Excuse my lapse in memory.

I wish I had your strong will power and discipline. What do you do to ride out the TWW? I'm trying not to think about it, but it's all that seems to be on my mind these days!

 

[xXxJessicaxXx]

That's Ok Hun & don't Worry About It lol. x X x

TBH I Just Pretty Much Get By. I Always Feel Through The Day It Drag's, So I Just Clean, Cook & Do Things Like Sticking Or Paint Or Drawing With My DD Or Even On My Own lol. I Spend Some Time On Here, Mostly Researching, Just On Little Thing's Like OPK's, HPT's, PCO, Conception, So On, But I Will Say I Learn A Lot Of New Thing's Most Day's That I Didn't Know & Are Very Interesting. I Would Say I Like To Do A Lot Of Reading To Keep My Mind On What I'm Reading, Not What I'm Thinking, Kinder Thing. I Know I Will Get There & I Know This TTC Journey Is Going To Be Long And Frustrating & I Have My Up & Down Day's But I'm So Used To Bottling My Feeling Up That I Just Get On With It. x X x

 

[aig2011]

Kai it is kinda nerve wrecking waiting for 2ww. But for me it was better to wait till af was due. So I wouldn't be staring at a test all day. Hold out as long as you can.

I have plenty of things that I can focus on I suppose lol. I'm sorry you feel like you have to bottle up your feelings. I hope you can at least let them out here.

Kai I'm Sure You Can Think Of A Few Thing's To Help The Time Fly. Oh Yes I Sure Do lol. It's Just Hard Trying To Express My Feeling & TTC Stuff To My Fiancé, Not Because He Don't Understand Me Or How I Feel, But Because He Don't Understand Every Thing About A Women's Body & TTC & It's Nice To Be Able To Speak To Other Women, And Here I Have My Lovely Ladies. x X x

How come you're counting yourself out?

Because I have all of my usual af signs, sore bbs and af type cramps and bfn. I just feel if it was going to be pos it would already be pos. Plus my charts always look pretty, I can't tell you how many times I have gone triphasic (not that this chart is) with bfn, it's crazy!

 

[Crystal5483]

Yay Alex! Congrats on the boy hun!

Kel I am STILL praying for you!

 

[never2late70]

Not giving up on you Kel

I am glad you have an outlet. And I feel the same way -- DH is very supportive, but he gets confused every time I start throwing random acronyms his way. It is wonderful to have such a supportive group. I have seen some other websites, and I can't say that all of them are warm and fuzzy!

I'm with the rest of the ladies, Kel. I'm not giving up on you either. It ain't over til it's over. And you're still in that window where it's somewhat early. Word on the street (rather forums) is that some women get BFPs with no unusual symptoms at all. I am still keeping my fxed for you.

 

[Shelley83]

That's so cool Alex. Boys are great and love their mummy's lots! Hoping you have a smooth remainder of your pregnancy.

Kel - I get the feeling your bfp will come when we least expect it. We are all thinking of you.

Sarah????? Updates please!!! I NEED to know how you're going
