February 2013 Testers + clomid/ Femara

[Jenna_KA]

These can all be great signs I had cramps about 7dpo that lasted a long time remember? But the cramps were kind of different. It felt a lot like AF though. I dodged the frequent urination until recently. I stand up then all the sudden I have to run to the bathroom before I pee my pants. Then I sit to go and its just a tiny little trickle That happens like every 30 minutes.

I love coffeeeeeeeee. I stopped drinking it when I started the clomid, stayed away from it the whole first trimester, then once I hit the second trimester I couldn't take it anymore. I have one cup every morning (sometimes I have more...) I cant help it, its so yummy. Plus it makes Draven wiggle which makes me happy. Hopefully soon he'll find his way back to the middle of my belly... he hasn't left the right side for daaayyyyssss. My left is feeling neglected.

Thats true! Did you ever feel like someone was poking your inside with a needle. I know it sound funny lol but for the past hour I have been feeling it lol & its weird. Since that last post I have gone twice already & its not just a little bit, its alot lol.

Me too!! I used to drink it like crazy but now I will have one every now & then if I didn't get much of a good nights rest. I have to work at my p.t job tonight so Im going to try & get a power nap in when I get home. I doubt it will happen though cause DD always talks my ear off lol.

Ohhhhh he's gonna just spread out & be all over the place

My insides almost feel like Im gearing up to O again =/

Hi ladies! Hope you don't mind barging in! I have a question that I'm hoping you guys can help with. Does a woman's OPK always have a faint line or are there times when it will be completely blank? I know it's not positive until its as dark as the control line, but I took one this morning and it had a faint line. I'm wondering if this is part of a progression to a darker line or it's just status quo?

I just finished my last pill of femara and am waiting to O. I don't normally O on my own so I'm taking the OPKs until my u/s apot next Monday to see if I need a trigger shot. This TTC biz quickly takes over your life! Ah!

Hopefully all that makes sense!

Good luck to you guys and congrats to some already pregnant!

No not at all,
it will gradually get darker the closer you get to O

Im not to sure how opks works with Femara but I know from experience with clomid when I did opks they were faint for about a week before I O'ed. They started getting darker the closer I got to Ovulation

Hope this helps

Well this is pretty definitive :

Plus I forgot how expensive digital OPKs were... $25 for a 7 pack?! Ughh...

My right ovary is starting to make me nervous. It's not quite pain yet, but it is getting so uncomfortable especially when I'm sitting. If it's still like this tomorrow and -OPKs, I'll definitely be calling the dr

C is still HSO and there's EWCM. I just hope this doesn't turn into an annovulatory cycle like the very first Clomid cycle at 100mg With that cycle I got all of the signs of O (even a temp rise, although lower than normal) and my 7DPO progesterone came back at 0.3

 

[Jenna_KA]

That is what it felt like! It was like a sharp poke that would hurt for a minute then go away. :] Maybe the coffee this morning is making you go a lot? I'm trying hard to debunk all this before getting excited haha! Anymore signs of spotting?? && You're like a mind reader lately. I read that just after I woke up from a nap lol. And I haven't taken a nap in a long time! I'm trying to get used to waking up at 5:30 every morning so I've been tired, but managing it. But I start school tonight and I was extra sleepy so I just took a quick hour nap. I recommend you do the same because it felt great

Bio: At least now you know! You have a definite "no" for today so even though it's disappointing, it's reassuring. I definitely agree with you though, if it's still "no" tomorrow call your doctor. Can they give you a little booster shot to pop that egg out??
Lol I wish it would give you a better picture for "no" so it doesn't look so depressing haha! Just a blank circle.. Jeeze. They could at least put a sad face or something instead of just blank and empty!

 

[Beautifullei2]

Bio I hope not either!!! FXED it pops tomorrow & you get your smiley . That big O just isn't appealing. Your still fertile so keep BDing so there are plenty of swimmers waiting

Jenna- I got esp lol jk!! No more spotting, just mild off & on cramps. Luckily I squeezed in a 30 min power nap & felt a little refreshed. How was school???

 

[Biotechick829]

Well ladies, I won't be testing on the 19th. A bit depressed today

CP and CM are starting to shift to non-fertile, OPKs still negative and no temp shift I'll be making an appointment with a specialist today.

If they're not going to ovulate I wish my ovaries would just shut the hell up. The left one is pinching/burning, right one is now calm, and I'm getting intermittent backaches and cramping.

Jenna - I don't think my OB will give me a trigger, especially since I'm so far along in the cycle and they haven't monitored with u/s

Hello all!! I just wanted to update you! Yesterday was my 2 year wedding anniversary and I got my !!! My husband was in disbelief as I told him..at dinner ..by showing him a digi at 10po!!! I have pics!! Fingers crossed for you all!! I am leaving here in a bit to get my blood drawn!! Wish me luck!!!

The top hpt is from when I tested out my trigger shot with FMU on 7 days post trigger! The rest including the digi are from 10/11dpo

 

[stevens2010]

Wow congratulations on your BFP! What a fantastic anniversary gift.

I'm 11DPO and I think I'm out.. I've got zero symptoms and I have had BFNs today. It's payday tomorrow so I'll get a proper test as I've been using cheapies. Feeling so deflated after such a positive start to my 2ww.

Keep you head up, your still in! Last month was my first Clomid/Trigger cycle, and I felt every symptom possible (no lies) and thought I was for sure BFP. This time, I hardly felt any except a decrease in appetite a little and last night (after I found out) some twinging in my lower pelvic region. Other than that I can't really say I noticed a lot, so maybe that is a good thing for ya! GL!!!! I'm pulling for you!

NOOOOOO Im soooo sorry hun It sucks when your body doesn't do what you want it to. Do you think it could be from you going up on your dosage & maybe its just going to take your body some time to get used to? I would definately ask your doctor if that may be why.


AFM: I thought I was getting better & today I just feel horrible. Im so exhausted & woke up with a sore throat, stuffy nose but yet feels dry. Had another restless night (was tossing & turning)

Don't count yourself out just yet!!! I have my FXed for you

Lei: School was good. Just boring cyllibus (sp?) stuff and introducing ourselves. The only thing I don't like is that the instructor is a little TOO laid back. He doesn't seem to have an answer for simple questions and I feel like when we start learning he's just gonna kind of brush through everything. Luckily I've decided to go back in spring after this for the advanced course to go better in depth and get more practice poking. It's not required but I'm gonna do it anyways so I know I'm good and ready for the real world Your temp went up a little today, woohoo! Told you it was just fine

Bio: I'm sorry about your bad cycle Hopefully your OB will have some good advice for you. Treat yourself today to something nice like a new outfit or pedicure or glass of wine. The one good thing about TTC is there's always next month! And we're all here for you

Faith: Congratulations on your BFP! What a great anniversary gift.

Stevens: 10dpo is still very early. Most BFPs are symptomless up until 6 weeks. The only symptom I had was phantom AF cramps. You're not out

 

[stevens2010]

Thanks girls. Hopefully this month will be a bumper month for bfps.

If my luteal phase is 12 days then AF is possibly due tomorrow so I'm going to go out first thing in the morning and get a proper brand test just in case. If it's bfn then I'm going to wait til 14 dpo to test again.

My medical assisting teacher was the same way. I liked the fact that she was laid back but the kids in the class would goof off & she wouldnt say nothing so the ones actually trying to learn where having to listen over the loud mouths. She had that mindset that she was going to teach & if you want to learn you will listen & if not oh well thats your loss. Needless to say I paid lots of attention & was like a nerd hahaha.

the temp is still not the high rise I wanted but I guess every bit counts.

I hope so too!!!!
Not to worry about symptoms. When I was pregnant with DD I had no symptoms at all. The only thing I noticed was I was late so I called my Dr's office & they advised me to take a test. When I was purchasing a test I bent over to grab it off the shelf & got super light headed. Other than that no signs of any sort my whole pregnancy





Oh yeah let me also add that I have been soooo constipated lmao! Its driving me crazy. This morning I had to drink coffee to help me out a bit lol

 

[Jenna_KA]

I hate when people do that, especially when its a class you're paying for to earn a career. This isn't high school lol. Luckily I'm a nerd when it comes to this stuff too Lol you're such a worry head with your temp. Chillax It's above cover, you're a-okay. Mine didn't rise until the end, remember? And even then, everyone's different.

 

[Jenna_KA]

Lol you're so funny!! The highest temp you have on there (disregarding the 2 unreliable ones) and you're still worried. Hehehe

 

[Beautifullei2]

I know I know!! Lol I really am trying not to read much into it but its so hard lol!!! I guess its because this chart is so different from any time I have temped before. Hopefully next week I will find out for sure

Im really trying not to get my hopes up because I don't want to set myself up for disaster!!! AHHHH tww I hate you lol

 

[Beautifullei2]

Lol I know I know. I forgot to discard those


Fixed it


I combined them all on FF & it looks just like my others.. Now I definately don't feel any special this month!! Bring on the evil
