Morning,

Another High for me on the CBFM... the second line is getting much darker now so am sure that ov will be taking place soon. Had a bit of ewcm starting last night so am hoping that the marathon has done the trick. Also (.)(.) have started to become sore so another indication!

Started being sick late last night which I think must be a tummy bug but I am still feeling dreadful this morning, DH is really worried about me but there is little he can do really. (DH just called to say he has stomach too )

Anyway, off to have a sleep.

Hey girls,
Lola and Kel, I hope you guys are making the most of this week's opportunity! Shame you aren't feeling well though Kel - I hope that clears up so you can get on with the BD!
Sarlar, yay for AF showing up!!

As for me, I am having a very bad couple of days. My husbands final SA came back yesterday, and the doc says that based on the results, we have about a 2% chance of conceiving on our own.
It was a bit of a shock.
So this might be my first and last clomid cycle ladies.

As fate would have it, it seems that I am also o'ing today. I thought maybe I had already o'ed but this is definitely it. EWCM like crazy, didn't really have any before. So now we get to BD knowing we only have a 2% shot which is pretty depressing

But don't worry girls, I'm not beaten yet. Let's just all hope that 2% is in my favour eh???

babydust...

 

[dizzikel]

MrsJA - So sorry to hear about your DH SA results hun . Did they not check this before you were put on clomid?

Lets hope the clomid does it stuff and you get a lovely BFP.... 2% is still a chance!

Lots of babydust your way

MrsJ- Sorry DH's sperm is less than optimal. Did they discuss IUI with you? I'm not very well informed on it, but I think they select the best sperm & create the good conditions for it to do its job. Maybe that's a good combination to be done with the clomid. Keep up your great attitude - 2% keeps you in the game.

Sarlar - AF is actually welcome this time around. Gearing up for Tues! You sound well prepared.

Kel, we're in the same boat. Your twinges started a few days ago, right? Do you still have them? I had another High today, CD14. We've been stacking the soldiers in since CD 12. I'm completely paranoid that I may have Ov'd early, like CD11 or 12, even though I usually don't see a peak until CD15-17. I had lots of discharge after HSG, some of which looked like EWCM. I read others had that & chalked it up to the procedure. My doc told me to wait a couple of days before BD, so I did. I'm so paranoid that I missed O on the HSG cycle. Cannot wait to see the peak reading!

Hi Lola,

Yep! Only one day apart on out cycle!

Still having twinges and have managed to bd the past couple of days... I too am like you in that I am paranoid if we don't bd I will miss ov. Not sure how much longer I can keep it up for though lol. Still only getting highs but with my second line getting darker I feel that it will be very soon. I am hoping that our efforts over the past few day and using conceive plus will mean we are in with a good chance this month.

You are still only on CD14, I wouldn't worry about thinking that you have already ov esp if you usually ov around cd15-17. Like you say you have a nice little store ready! lol

Come on little eggiesl!

 

[MrsJA]

Lola and Kel - thanks for the support, it means a lot.

Kel, I'm glad you're starting to get the twinges! Hopefully your eggs are producing lots and lots of nice ripe eggs! Lola, I'm sure you won't be far behind. Just gotta keep up that BD marathon!

So, re us....we did do SA's before starting clomid - his count was low but borderline. This is actually the 3rd SA we've done, but the first one where they looked at motility and morphology as well. Thus we now have a problem..

I thought IUI too Lola, but apparently you can only do that if the boys are up to scratch. It's pretty well for sure an IVF situation for us from here. I managed to book my first IVF consult for next week (assuming I am not knocked from the 2% of course, ha ha!)

I'm doing OK, trying to keep my chin up.

Good luck to us all!!

 

[MrsJA]

PS Lola, realised I never replied to yoour post about MrsJA being so formal. lol!
My name is Jess. You can call me that if you remember, or MJ is good - whatever you like hon!

 

[sarlar]

jess: i am so sorry to hear about the minor setback with the sa. but i am also in complete admiration of your positive attitude!! you rock and i am sure ivf will be a great option. our best friends have a beautiful ivf son

everyone else keep us posted as you are getting to the o's and the ends of cycles!! as for me, i never ovulate so the countdown is on until my hsg, sa results back, my next af, and then i can start the clomid another month....

 

[dizzikel]

Hi ladies,

Just a quick post from me before I go to work. Got a PEAK today on my CBFM

Currently on CD16 and took clomid days 2-6. I usually ov on CD14 so from what I have read of the forum this is quite norma.

Ready for my final sprit to the finish line in the marathin

[dizzikel]

Sorry about typos... I was rushing! lol

 

[MrsJA]

Thanks Sarlar, that is lovely of you to say, I really appreciate it

Your HSG is on Wednesday right?? Let us know how it goes, I will be thinking of you.

Kel, awesome news that it is all happening for you!! Get busy girl!!

 

[sarlar]

Yup HSG is Wednesday of next week, april 21st. Also my dh will be dropping of the goods for his SA this week. crossing my fingers

 

[lola13]

I love checking on all of you girls & getting your updates - it's now the second thing I do each morning. Of course the first is use my CBFM! The reading today was high again. Yesterday's paranoia is gone & I'm confident the peak is around the corner. BD strategy is in motion (literally )

Daisii are you out there? We haven't heard from you & inquiring minds want to know!!

 

[sarlar]

hey all-forgot to ask...how were the afs you ladies had after taking provera? it is SOOOO light it is amazing. almost worry it isnt the way it is suppose to be! any thoughts?

 

[lola13]

Sarlar, my notes don't indicate if it was light or heavy, but it only lasted about 3 days. I'm typically 5.

 

[ttcbaby117]

Hi dizz - yah expect your ov to be late. I usually ov around cd 14. I took my clomid from days 5-9 and I didnt ov till cd 18. It was long wait and it was driving me nuts b/c I didnt know it could delay ov..so put your mind at rest that this is what shoudl happen. I think average is that women ov about 9 days after the last pill is taken.

 

[dizzikel]

Morning ladies,

Managed to BD last night (first peak on monitor) and still have another peak this morning, although the second line has faded since yesterday. Peak coincided with EWCM, not much as I usually get but still there. Strangely, I have also had very sore nipples the past 3 days (sorry TMI) which is different this month, usually I just get sore (.)(.).

I am trying not to panic at the moment as we did not BD the night before my peak...does this matter? We have BD 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16 (Peak on CD16) and been using conceive plus so hoping that we are in with a good chance this month.

Sarlar, MrsJA, TTC: hope everyone is ok and not having bad side effects with clomid. Lola hope you are ok and have had your PEAK ;P.

Speak later lovely ladies
