[~Brandy~]

Just wondering if there is any ladies on here still floating about that got there BFP on femara. If so would u mind sharing ur syptoms plz???? I dnt get side effects on femara nd this is my 3rd round on it. I have woken 2 nights in a row feeling nuaseas nd my boobs r killing me X1000000. I do get sore boobs in the TWW but this is way over the top that any sudden movememnt or jolt has me near in tears.

Thank u ladies nd best of luck to u all Xxx

What DPO are you? Femara doesnt have those side effects that I have ever heard of.

I'd take a test lol

LOL I dnt test till I am late

I am 9-10DPO

Oh nd did I mention I have been dreaming babies which I never do, I even dreamt we had twin girls, but the strange thing is I gave birth on the moon of all places LOL LOL

Well your symptoms are more PG like than I ever experienced on femara so I dunno what to tell you if you dont test early.

I had breast pain on clomid and after i STOPPED taking femara for several months it was agony, but now its just a minor annoyance. I never really had any side effects except that i felt and still feel ovulation pain, i guess my hormones were a mess and now they are on track???

 

[J_Lynn]

Yeah, those aren't normal Femara symptoms - I didn't get the dreams or nausea when I had my bpf either - but sore boobs? Oh yes. They feel like cannon balls. Literally - DD cannon balls. And if someone even looks at them I want to curl up and cry. They hurt badly.

So yeah, I'd take a test in a few days. I got my faint BFP at 12dpo. I don't think I would have gotten it before then, too early - that line was faaaaaint

Thank u so much honi, not long nd we will no one way or the other. I am terrified to tell u the truth, we have 7 angel babies nd been on this journey a long time.
My boobs do get a little bit sore in my TWW but more just annoying, but this month they r sooooooooo sore. I told my hubby u came near them nd I will cut his balls out lol lol

 

[Cridge]

Lola - I can't wait until your adoption is final so we can get more details on your little boy!

 

[karenh]

Lola: You are so cute! Pre-owned. Honestly that is a really good way to look at it though. When you buy a pre-owned car you don’t think that it isn’t yours, it is fully 100% yours. I really like that. Yes, ours will be teeny tini, which I am so excited about, and also terrified about. How old was your little boy when you got him? Less than 5 months because that is how old he is now right? That is still really small. I would hate to miss all those things too. It will be hard to drop my little one off at daycare, but the baby has to eat right!

TLB: IVF can be a scary thought. I hope you get your BFP and don’t have to get there, but if you do, I have been told it is not nearly as bad as everyone thinks. I never got there, we have decided on adoption instead of IVF, but I have 10+ friends who have. Good luck.

Mummytoangles: Did you have a trigger shot? If so that is what you would be looking for symptoms of. Hopefully this will be it for you!

AFM: Our orientation interview with the adoption agency is Friday and I am getting so nervous. I have been torturing myself watching videos of birth moms sharing their stories and reading adoption experiences and bawling my eyes out. I swear I never cried before all these fertility drugs, and now even though I have stopped them I can’t quit being emotional.

I am so excited for you Karen!

Baby was great at daycare today. I think we might have this thing worked out! He was almost 4 months when we got him, so we get alot of firsts anyways. I went to the chiro yesterday and i was telling her about our boy and she asked me if i was breast feeding--apparently there is a way for a woman to breast feed a child even if she didnt give birth to it? somehow you hold the baby to your breast and your boobs just know what to do??? That doesnt seem right but i thought that might be something for you to look into, a bonding thing.

 

[~Brandy~]

I am excited for you Karen! Only 2 more days for another step to be checked off that list

AFM- Hope everyone is well... I am in a panic when I know I shouldnt be I only had my transfer 72 hours ago and I haven't noticed anything lol.

Silly I know but I was really hoping for a tug or a pull or SOMETHING... even pee 1 more time than normal and give me hope

Brandy - I never really had any symptoms. I had cramping, which I attributed to recovering from the retrieval, but I wondered in the back of my head if AF was coming. Did you have a 5d or 3d transfer? I tested at 6dp5dt (11dpo) and got a strong BFP, which leads me to believe I could have tested earlier and gotten the same result.

Karen - I am SO excited for you!

Lola - I'm glad baby is doing better with daycare. I love reading your posts about him!

AFM: Awful heartburn. Anything I eat gives me heartburn, no matter how mild it might be. I wake up every night with horrible heartburn. I actually called the doctor today, it's so bad even though I have an appointment on next Wednesday morning. I've been chewing Tums like crazy - doing nothing. All I can do is try to step up the Tums, and use Pepcid or Zantac. I'm going to stop after work and buy some. Hoping one of the two will work.

I didn't even have cramps after the transfer nothing. Maybe they stole the eggs! Joking. I had a 5dt on Monday and testing already bfn I know too early

 

[Cridge]

Lola - I've heard of that, but I think it takes a little more than just holding the baby up to your breasts. Sometimes you can take meds to get the milk started (prolactin), but if your levels are high enough, then you start out by pumping, and pumping, and pumping some more. Eventually, your boobs will get the idea. I don't think it works for everyone, but if you're willing to put forth the work, I think there's a good chance of it working!

 

[Prayerful]

TLB - I hope it doesn't come to that for you. That is where I am right now. If it works, it will be totally worth it but it is definitely a scary step.

Mummy - That sounds extremely promising! I bet we'll be hearing about a BFP from you soon!!

Lola - I'm glad things are going so well with baby boy and that he is doing better at day care. Cridge is right, you'll need to do a little extra work to be able to breastfeed but if it is important to you it will be so worth it!

Good luck Karen! (and congratulations on your niece!)

MMW - Sorry about the heartburn...

AFM - Yet another setback with the IVF cycle. My estradiol levels are still too high so my cycle was cancelled. I have to continue the Lupron injections at a higher dose, will do a recheck on the 29th and then will hopefully be able to restart stims on Aug 10. So disappointed...

I had a really hard time after the retrieval, so I could have just been still recovering from that. It took me weeks to completely recover.

Thank you guys so much for being so supportive!

Lola: I have heard about adoptive moms being able to lactate and breast feed. I do want to look into that. I know there is more that needs to be done other than just putting a baby there, but it is possible. I plan on talking with my gyno more about it, or my friend who is a midwife once we get a little closer. I would love to have that bonding experience.
I am so glad LO did so much better at daycare! What a relief for you knowing he will be OK.

Brandy: hang in there. It may take a while for symptoms to show. I really hope this is it for you!

MMW: So sorry you are having a hard time with your heartburn. Heartburn really is no fun. I hope you find something that helps.

Prayerful: No! A cancelled cycle is so devastating! Ugh! I really hope your body cooperates and your next suppression check goes better.

Mummy: If you didn’t have the trigger then I would say your symptoms sound promising! Good luck!

Karen- Great news about your orientation! Very excited for you!

Lola- Little man is working on crawling?! Wow! How fun! hope all continues to go well at daycare, that is such a hard thing to walk away from them if they are upset. I cannot wait to hear more about him and se pics one of these days!

Mummy- when is AF due?? Like the other girls said...sounds promising! FX!

Prayerful- still sending you hugs!

Brandy- baby vibes, girl!

AFM- starting stims tonight. Follisitim only, then add in Menopur. Excited! Nervous! Suppression scan showed some pretty quiet ovaries, but trying to keep a positive attitude! First estradiol check Monday
