[Closed] Per Ardua Ad Astra

[Lynny77]

Haha nice Bug! Glad you're getting in some bd!

Squigg that's so awesome your dh is a pilot! So you know how it is just praying he'll be home for It makes me crazy every month arranging my schedule to be home!

Tui I so hope it's the start of a bfp for you! You seem like you're in a good position mentally though

 

[kwynia]

I've got some major ewcm right now, but I'm cd 8! Negative opk yesterday so I'm going to check again this evening.

 

[Bug222]

Kwynia- i usualy start getting EWCM at around cd8/9 then a pos opk at cd12.. so maybe you will ov early too?

Tui- fx'd for you!

 

[Squig34]

Kywnia, I often start getting EWCM from cd 8/9 but I o on cd 14 or 15. Still, sounds like it's time to start the BD!

Lynny - yes - although he's home most nights, it can be hard getting our schedules to match up with the shift work. But hopefully we won't need them to match up for the next 9 months!!

 

[Wishing1010]

Same brand as last month, different to those others a while back. I'm thinking my egg is touching down long enough to trigger a bit of hcg then floating off! Nothing wants to stick. Only way it would explain why I get very very faint lines at this time past ovulation, but not when I tried them at other times to check for evaps. I'm not upset, just annoyed at my uterus!

I love your chart!!!! I know it always Looks good but I have a great feeling for this cycle!!!

 

[Wishing1010]

I'm officially in the TWW ladies!

 

[Fezzle]

Yay! Welcome!

Now that I'm starting Clomid soon, I'm curious about the different days people take them- what's the reasoning behind taking it CD9-13?

 

[Wishing1010]

I went to the doc on cd9, expecting to Get the Clomid for next cycle. He said it was ok to take it this cycle, days 9-13. Seemed odd to me as last time I took it cd3-7. I will most likely take it the 3-7 next cycle.

 

[Fezzle]

I'm supposed to take it CD2-6 next cycle.

I keep forgetting I still need to wait to see what happens this cycle, but since things haven't worked out so far, I've been assuming I need to wait for the Clomid to have a chance at getting a BFP. When I got my solid smiley, I was more relieved that if it was like last cycle's solid smiley, AF would come 2 weeks after, and I wouldn't have to take provera and wait to start the Clomid. But really this cycle is going well- last cycle I started spotting 5 days after my peak, but now I'm on 8 days after and no sign of any spotting yet. Even if this cycle isn't successful, I'm hoping the Metformin is helping my body become more normal which should increase the probability of success from the Clomid.

 

[kwynia]

I usually ovulate around cd 12 / 13, this is the earliest I've had so much ewcm, and ovary cramping as well. We are getting BD in, so I won't worry about it too much.

 

[cutieq]

Just a quick update ladies.. I had my appointment today and the doc had no hesitation to test for progesterone. I felt like I paid him $25.00 to self-diagnosis but whatever, it's done now. My results should be back tomorrow or Thursday and I can start the meds this cycle, if needed.

Being in the waiting room with all the baby bumps was a little overwhelming! I have a pretty serious headache that I can't determine if it's mental exhaustion or a hormone.

 

[Fezzle]

Glad you've got a test lined up- I hope it shows something useful!

I felt like that a bit with my private appointment- I felt like I paid £250 to get someone to write me a prescription for Clomid, even though I'm sure my NHS GP would have done it if she could have. But, I did get an u/s for that £250, a definite diagnosis and plan going ahead- plus she was really nice and made me more optimistic.

 

[Squig34]

Yay for TWW Wishing!

That sounds very positive Fezzle - I hope the no spotting is literally going to be a positive when POAS begins!

Pleased for you, Cutie

 

[Tui]

Yay tww wishing!

Sorry about all the bumps cutieq, know how you feel.

Good luck with the clomid fezzle, maybe you won't need it though.

Hi everyone, hope you are all good.

I've had a nice lunch with mum and a look round the shops. Cheered me up. Public holiday on monday so long weekend for me. Think I'll be working some of it now though....contract signed and ready to earn some money, woo hoo.

 

[Bug222]

glad you have a positive plan in place Fezzle!

 

[Squig34]

Yay for long weekend Tui and yay also for signing the contract at last!

Bug please remind me where you are in your cycle?

 

[Lynny77]

Wishing, fezzle and cutie sounds like you all have good plans in place but hopefully you won't need them!

Tui so hoping this cycle is it for you!

Bugg have you o'd?

Kwynia hopefully you'll o soon as well!

Squigg how are you feeling?

Nothing to report here. I won't be home until Thursday night and I haven't even started opk's yet. I'm day 13 today. Just waiting!

 

[Squig34]

I'm not too bad yet thanks Lynny. Afternoons I'm getting a headache & sometimes mild nausea. I also have some food aversions & today I was SO hungry, but nothing dreadful yet! I don't even have most of my usual pregnancy symptoms, which is odd.

 

[Tui]
