My clinic says to call on cd 40 if Af has not arrived and negative pregnancy test. They prescribe provera to induce my cycle. I've gotten positive opk's and still have not gotten my period on my own...
 
iwantmyturn - your chart looks fabulous and that you are definitely on 16dpo! However, I hate to say it, but if it were MY chart, I would say af will be visiting tomorrow. I hope I'm wrong in your case, but I thought I'd be honest. :hugs:

Cridge - I'm glad you think my chart looks good. LoL. I don't even know what a good one is supposed to look like at this point, since this is my first full month of charting. :) And yeah, once I took my temp this morning, my first thought was that AF would come sooner than later..but ya just never know...It's so hard not to get hopes up sometimes. Guess I'll just keep to this waiting game. Probably one of the only games I hate these days. LoL
 
Alright ladies, someone help me understand this creamy CM. My ticker is wrong, I O'd on 3/2-3/3 and have been having pain on my left side (which is where my 2 eggs were) since then. Yesterday the pain let up and I had some super light pink spotting. I know this cant be fertility/pregnancy related, which is why Im so confused. All day today I have been having a good bit of creamy CM, enough to where I had to put on a panty liner. It has no smell or anything, but I have never had it before so Im unsure what it could be. I still have some pressure like feeling in my ovary/uterus area. My poor body is just so confused haha.
 
Sorry I don't have much advice on cervical mucus as I think mine is out of whack. I have heard that a lot of creamy CM can be an early sign of pregnancy but I have also heard that for some it's a sign that AF is on it's way... so I haven't found it be too useful. The 2 other times in the past 7 months that I ovulated I had that too and thought it was the first...but turned out to be the latter so I gave up on it for this month as I again have a lot. Hoping it means something different this time but not too sure. Good luck to you!
 
mrs.stinski - my cf when pregnant has been beyond creamy - it's been yellow and sticky globs. I've had creamy cf after I ovulate and up to af, but the 2 times I've been pregnant, it has turned to thick, sticky, yellow cf. I know everyone is different, but that's my experience with it.
 
Mine is kinda sticky globs too, but since Im only like 4DPO I think it was just from ovulation or something because now its slightly brown and I know implantation wont be for another week so thats why I think it was all from ovulation and my trigger shot. Thanks to both of you for responding though :)

Mrs. Stinski - I'm not much of an expert on CM either, but I seem to get the creamy/watery type after I ovulate and almost up until AF shows...I too have heard that people get with pregnancy as well...I guess everyone is different in this sense...don't females have it so wonderful..LoL.
 
Well ladies....Today is CD1 ...BOO!!!! But at least she came on her own again..2 months in a row...record for me! LoL. Definitley bummed about the BFN, but gotta try and look at the good side of things too...my body working properly is a big plus, I gotta say...

Called RE to let them know the "news" ...nurse said that if this cycle doesn't work for us, then my RE will want to see me and re-evaluate and probably offer artifical insemination (IUI?) considering how well my progesterone levels are...
What do you all think of that? We have no male factor infertility, sooooo....

Hope all of you ladies have a wonderful week!
 
Well six weeks is supposed to be the time to bring on the symptoms?! Other than sore boobs, a couple dizzy spells and some anxiety...
Just hoping all is well in babyland...

baby dust and sticky beans to you all
 
Hi Ladies -

This is my first time posting on a discussion board about our journey on TTC.

We started in August 2009, since then there has been several medical issues we've found on our journey. :(

We finally started Femara 5mg (CD3-7) Cycle #1 in January 2012. I had 3 follicles on CD10 13mm, (2)16mm and triggered with Ovidrel on CD12. No luck. Crinone progesterone cream was no fun either with the side effects.

Feb 2012 took a break from Femara because DH had a random business trip! Rarely happens, but it did! :-/

On Femara 5mg (CD3-7) Cycle #2 and CD10 was on Monday 3/4/12! Not sure why but RE's PA-C argued with me that it was my CD9 instead of CD10. Anyways, she found 4 follicles on left ovary @ 3:30PM. Avg (2) 13.5mm & (2) 14.75mm. She wanted me to trigger with Ovidrel today CD12 @ 8:30PM. DH thinks we should wait till CD13 to allow the follicles to grow more. OPK is negative and I have tested at 8am and 6pm on CD11, 6am and 8pm on CD12. BUT today I feel some tingly numbness on my left side. To top it off DH is training for his triathlon so I told him he is heating the sperm up!!! :(

((((AHHHH I am freaking out!!!!)))))

Here's my guessing chart at the size of my follicles.... (you can laugh at me, it's okay!)

----------------------------------
Total of 4 Follicles, 2 in each range:

Worst case (growing 1mm a day)
13.5 & 14.75 - Monday Based on U/S @ 3:30 PM
14.5 & 15.75 - Tuesday @ 3:30 PM
15.5 & 16.75 - Wednesday @ 3:30 PM <--- Not really ready!

Medium case (growing 1.4mm a day based on avg since CD1)
13.5 & 14.75 - Monday Based on U/S @ 3:30 PM
14.9 & 16.15 - Tuesday @ 3:30 PM
16.3 & 17.5 - Wednesday @ 3:30 PM <--- Maybe since follicles can grow between trigger and ovulation!

Best case (growing 2mm a day)
13.5 & 14.75 - Monday Based on U/S @ 3:30 PM
15.5 & 16.75 - Tuesday @ 3:30 PM
17.5 & 18.75 - Wednesday @ 3:30 PM <--- This looks good, but who knows!


So we BD last night CD11 just in case! So in a way I think we are covered. DH wants to use Ovidrel tomorrow morning 6:30 AM and BD. I am getting a twitch on my left side as I type this and it's 9:15 PM. DH is still out running around somewhere. I think I may just have him trigger once he gets back. :-S

Iwantmyturn: So sorry about the bfn, but glad AF came on her own for you. At least your body is now getting into a natural "groove", so to speak.

flybaby: Sore boobs sounds good, so how much longer are they making you wait????

angels2012: Welcome to the group! You have found a wonderful group of very understanding and informative ladies. I love the girls in this group! Did you trigger last night?
 
Thanks for the welcome. :) We both decided to just BD last night and triggered at 6:30 this morning and continue to BD the next two days :hugs::happydance:. RE prescribed C-progesterone so I will need to start that Saturday.
 
Looks like we have been TTC for about the same time. How long have you been on femara?
 
Four more weeks!

I guess little things like my dh acknowledging the pregnancy helps...Makes me feel like I'm not the only one who saw the + and noticed the changes in my boobs!

But his was of not getting attached is his way of not wanting to lose another. I also know that once we hear the heartbeat it will make a big difference for us both.

Four more weeks of just plain waiting...oye!
 
Welcome angels2012 and good luck!

Flybaby I think you're waiting is better than the TWW that I'm stuck in. I am 7DPO and the hpt's are calling to me but I'm trying to be strong and wait it out. The not knowing if there's even at chance that I'm pregnant is frustrating. I hope for a sticky bean for you! At least we have lots of great company to help us wait it out! :)

This is my second cycle on it. My first cycle was a bit crazy because my ovaries didnt respond to the lower dosage so I ended up taking another round of femara cd13-17. I much prefer this over Clomid because of the harsh side effects, I dont miss them one bit! lol
 
Good afternoon ladies. Welcome angels2012.

BABY DUST YOUR WAY SHORTIE! Best of luck!
Flybaby - hang in there! Everything will be just fine!

Just wanted to drop in and inform ya'll that I absolutely HATE AF. LoL. She's brutel on me this month...WOWZERS! Is there anything you ladies do to help the lower back pain and major cramping?? Maybe I'm not staying away from the right foods? Something has got to give! LoL.

Hope everyone has had a good day!

I went to my RE's seminar (Nov 2011) before I was actually a patient. They went over the side effects of clomid vs. femara and I knew that I wanted femara if we had to go this route. :-/ In Jan 2011, I got the okay to start fertility meds, but the doctor prescribed clomid! I said no and they switched immediately. Thank goodness. They said the reason they prescribe clomid is because it is cheaper than femara for most medical insurance. I am already a sensitive person. I think if I went on clomid it would cause a lot of strain on my relationship with DH given what I've heard it can cause! :growlmad:
