So either I have put on a bunch of christmas weight but only in my boobs or this is my month. It totally feels like I have mastitus (which I got 5 times while BF madelyn) They are so warm and SOOOOOOO sore.(no fever though) We had some friends come over for board games last night (the same people come every week) and they were all like woah! your tits are massive. Last time while pregnant i went from a D to a EE!... Trying not to get too excited but cant help it I'm only 9dpo but I really want to test! AAAAAAGGGHHHH

 

[Kazzababba]

Wooohooo sounds promising 😃everything crossed for you,you deserve it..hold off if you can coz if you test 2 early you might be disappointed even till day 11.. Think I'm out this month Af feels like its coming 😒but at least it could be good news for one of us.. Best of luck keep us all posted xxx

 

[trying hard]

Totally going nuts-o waiting here RRAAAAA

 

[Crystal5483]

Sarah it sounds super promising!! Good luck girl! I don't know how you wait so long! I'm testing like every day from 8dpo lol I'm a whacko myself!!!

Jessica did you get an appointment? My OB wouldn't even offer clomid, I had to see the RE for that. He's super nice, i feel lucky. I was concerned about having a male doctor .. I can be shy!

Kazza what's your name? I hope that it works put the best for you! Do not give up hope yet!

AFM... I had blood taken again Tuesday.. Levels dropped to 18!! Then I had more blood taken yesterday and they dropped to 13! So no methotrexate this time! Still bleeding though... 35 days! Ugh! I would have thought I would have run out of blood by now LOL

 

[bmavery]

My first round starts in a few days! So nervous and excited however trying to not get my hopes up too high! That fall will be a long ways down!

 

[trying hard]

Hey Crystal, So glad your numbers are finally falling the way they should.

35 days!!! screw that for a joke 5 days is bad enough, your poor hubby must be going crazy.

Hello bmavery and welcome to our little group :wave: I hope your stay here is a short one. What is your back story if you don't mind me asking, Its nice to know who we are talking to

 

[Crystal5483]

Hi bmavery! Welcome to our group. We have a bunch of different types of stories, but we all have the same desires! My name is Crystal. What is yours?

Sarah - It's driving me to the looney bin I swear! And as for DH yes, he's going mad! And I am, too! I would take a heavy period for 5 days over this BS any day! How are things with you? Getting ancy?

 

[bmavery]

Well, my dh and I have been together for 6 years married 5 this past August! We do have two wonderful boys who are 6 and 5! 13 months and 2 days apart! We decided after our youngest we wanted to try tot our little girl and have been trying ever since! We were diagnosed after going to FS thus last year with unexplained infertility. We gad to wait a little for our answer which really wasn't one because we had a few deployment inferilitt years in the last 5! So finally we have a doctor willing to work with us and hope this round works! As he leaves again in April after just getting home thus part November. So we only have a few months to work at this.

And my name is Marsha

So frickn over this whole thing!!!!!!!!!

Month after month of heart ache and disappointment. So tempted to just say f**k it and give up. I thought that clomid would be my saving grace for so long i was desperate to get my hands on this wonder drug but now i just think it has got my hopes up again for nothing.

I was up untill well past one this morning because i was so excited and nervous and then surprise surprise big fat stupid fu**ing negative. I'm not even all that sad this time just really angry and disappointed.

I hate that i get so many fricken symptoms for nothing, i cant even trust my body to tell me the truth any more on this stupid drug.

I dont think i will test again this month, 12dpo should be a pretty reliable indication that it hasn't worked...again...

Im sorry for being a real downer but you ladies have truely become great friends (i havn't even told sam i got a neg yet) i was just waiting for him to go to work so i could jump on the computer to vent to you guys.

Thank you so much for your support and i know you guys have been delt a pretty sh*t hand too. Infertility sucks. I'm so over it. We cant afford ivf so if clomid doesn't work then its over for us

when we first started trying i said to myself if it didn't happen in a year we would just go on and leave it all behind but that was because i didn't think in my wildest nightmare that i wouldn't get pregnant straight away. Then after 1 year i said ok so after 2 years thats it once again i thought it would be a matter of months and now after more than 2 years and hundreds of dollars worth of drugs, vitamins and tests im at the end of my tether and dont know what to do with myself. The fs said come back in 3 more years if the clomid doesn't work. What a crock of sh*t.

 

[Jordans_Mommy]

Crystal I understand what you mean about being shy . The women I scheduled my RE appointment with asked do I have a preference and I said YES A WOMAN PLEASE !! My biggest thing though isnt being shy . Me and me Hubby are both young me (21) and him (25) I would just hate for judgment to come from our age and our desire to have another baby . Congrats on the levels going back to normal . You try again in March right ?!

Sara its okay !! We all have our moments when we get to our end with this . We are all here for you Hun . Im sorry this cycle didnt work for you either . But why wait 3 years . My OB referred me to a RE . You cant do the same ?

Marsha welcome !! Im Jessica . How fun is that your boys being so close in age . Good luck on your journey and post OFTEN !!

My first appointment with my RE is this Thursday . Im excited hopefully I get my injections and hopefully they work . They have a wonderful success rate . Hubby is getting antsy though, he was upset we had to switch Dr's and had to wait so long for an appointment (hes impatient) . I know that if I can ovulate normally then things will be fine . My fingers are crossed .

 

[Kazzababba]

Crystal I'm Karen 😃 great news bout bloods nearly back 2 normal than march will fly in.do you take clomid in march or try on your own???

Trying hard I feel your anger an your pain 😒all over for me this month started spotting yest do that will happen for 2-3 days befor full flow. I'll back 2 days 2-6 clomid but this month 2 days past Ov I'll be taking progesterone support as my lp is failing.try stay positive know test was negative but as long as Af hasn't showed yet there is a chance... Know you said you can't afford ivf.. Could you afford iui it's so much cheaper I'm gonna try it after 6 months clomid..

Jordan's-mommy hope thurs goes well an your on your way 2 being sorted 😃age is just a number once those baby desires hit there nothing we can do xx

Welcome bmavey hope clomid works for you 😃where are you in cycle now??

 

[bmavery]

Alright ladies today is day 3 and startting my pills today! Wish me muck that I don't take someones.head off in class today!!! Lol or my husband!

His was everyones weekend? Mine went too fast but it is nice to get back on schedule and have my hubby back at work since he was on block leave since he returned home from is deployment in November, it was time.to have our s hedule back!

Have a greatly day and baby bust yo everyone!

 

[Crystal5483]

Sarah - Let it all out hun, we are here to vent to and to listen. I have to ask, is there a reason why you have to wait three years? If that their restrictions or the insurances? I would suggest looking for a new doctor if possible, if it is their guidelines, because no one wants to wait that long for anything. I hear you on the IVF... I haven't even looked into how much it would cost, but I don't think without a doubt I would not be able to afford it. As for what Kazza said, it may be a better idea to try IUI and cheaper!

Marsha - Good luck with the pills! It seems night sweats are the biggest side effect that I had, and it seems they're pretty common! Best of luck hun! Keep us informed. Are you using OPKs this month?

Jessica - I'm not 21, but I am 27 and I thought for sure that a FS would look at me like I was crazy to be at this point (started TTC #2 at 25). I had my daughter right after I turned 22 and got pregnant at 21... so don't worry! Age is purely a number.

Karen - how are you holding up? Any news? And yes I hope that the three months flies by SUPER quick. As far as I know I will be back to Clomid. Before all these issues with the HCG not dropping, they had me scheduled for another round.

AFM - I go back after work today for another blood test, hoping HCG is back at zero. I'm going to ask them how much longer they think the bleeding will last. It's not fun! They said we have to wait three months, but does that mean three months from the injection? Because if so, my last one was on NYE... so that would mean March 31st. Here's hoping!

Also - I'm 27, DH is 30 and DD is 5. We are from Massachusetts.

 

[bmavery]

I am debating about using them, I fer very obessive about it but I know its a good idea! I did telmy dh that we have to schedule the baby dance in between his work, my classes and careened daycare and cirbens school. But he knows what days we are starting and how long we gave to keep going Haha!!!

jessica

Crystal is so right about when that baby clock starts ticking, I really don't think age is an issue. I am now 26 but was "only" 24 when we started trying and was 22 when I got pregnant with Madelyn. Sam is 31 Age isn't something you should be judged for, its not like your 15 or anything and you are obviously in a stable relationship

The three year thing is when we will qualify for publicly funded IVF/ IUI over here the health system is quite different. Because we have Madelyn they have little sympathy for our situation. Our health insurance doesn't cover infertility We can go private and may end up doing an iui if clomid doesn't work but would rather not pay for such a slim shot, every cycle of iui only has a 15% success rate and costs about $1000. We bought our house only 2 years ago and haven't even been able to afford to get married yet (we have been engaged for 3 years lol) We pretty much just live on Sam's wage, I am self employed looking after two other kiddies part time at home but it isn't much.

Karen. So sorry to hear the witch is on her way for you too. Mine should come tomorrow or the next day. Hopefully this new plan of action will be the one that works

bmavery. Good luck hun, I don't get mood swings on it but that may be the b6 that prevents that. I found the most uncomfortable thing is the night sweats and bad dreams.

Crystal. I hope your blood results are back to normal this time round. Surely when you get back down to zero the bleeding should stop pretty soon after?


I am in better spirits today, My boobs are still super sore though. This clomid is messing with my head. If I hadn't had a I would be convinced I'm pregnant.

 

[bmavery]

Day 1 update.....b6 must gave been why I didn't get crazy moody!!!! Thank goodness for that!!! I was a bit snippy but my hubby was si nice last night he took us all on a shopping spree and we ran into some great deals at children's place, aeropostal, finish line and kmart which was the beet since we git a 300 dollar grill for 80 bucks! But we got tins of kids clothes on sale at target fir under 5 bucks too! Anyways, day 2..... hopefully its just as easy as day one! Oh and I decided to order opks on amazon too!

Enough rambling, everyone have a great day!!!! And extra baby dust to everyone!!!!

 

[Jordans_Mommy]

Hey Ladies !!

Marsha glad to hear day one went good for you.

Crystal and Sarah thanks so much !! My appointment got rescheduled for this morning which was an awesome thing for me . My RE seemed to be surprised when she met me in the lobby lol . Anywho since my insurace sucks big time we decided to try a cycle of fermera (5mg cd3-7) with me being monitiored with ultrasound very close . She asked how many follies I produced off the clomid and I couldnt answer the question because I wasnt being monitored (she didnt like that) . Im on fermera this cycle using OPK's again and then if this doenst work Im going straigt to injections !! We'll have to pay out of pocket for that though . But hopefully it doesnt get to that point . Ill be starting my left over provera tonight, even though Im on CD25 ... Hope all is well Ladies .

 

[trying hard]

hey all :wave:

Back to day 1 for me
At least I knew it was coming so it wasn't too bad to see the
Round 3 here we come! Hopefully the round 3 magic works for me like so many other ladies.

We got some of the results for Sam's repeat SA yesterday. And they are quite different from last time but still great.

He went from 40% motility to 50% but also went from
117million per ml to 70million per ml (over 15million per ml is considered normal)
So that takes it all back to me having a broken body Anyone would think at our age we should be getting pregnant just looking at our men!

Marsha most of my side affects don't start until around day 4 of my cycle or 3 days after first pill. So I'm only a day or two behind you. As too I believe Karen as well.

I'm thinking of just taking my pill today on day 1 instead of day 2 because my period started last night but my doc calls day 1 the first whole day of bleeding but I'm impatient and just want to start already.

Jessica so glad you got in early and have been given something different to try. Good luck!!!!!

Crystal. how did your bloods go?

 

[Bugbabe77]

Hiya guys, am coming to join you. My story so far is thus: I'm Claire, 34 and married to my 2nd husband, the loml. I've been ttc forever, 5 years + with my ex and over 2 years with my dh. He already has a child with his ex and so we don't qualify for ivf in our area. The story with his ex and dd is a long and very arduous one but she basically hates me and won't let his dd have anything to do with me, which has put a strain on us and our ttc journey. His dd is his 'miracle baby' and sometimes that makes me feel very inadequate. Having a baby is primal need in me, yet he doesn't seem too bothered a lot of the time.

I'm currently 11dpo and started my first round of clomid this cycle. Have managed to link in my chart on my sig so pls feel free to have a look and tell me what u think.

I'm trying to remain hopeful that it will happen for me, but part of me dies every month when AF arrives.

Well that's me guys - sorry if Ive bummed u all out x
