FIRST CYCLE on Letrozole/Femara!

[MrsCompass]

SHAREENA!!! I was just wondering about you ... tomorrow is the BIG day!!! Keep us in the loop. We're going to celebrate with you

Get your pom-pom's ready for Shareena, girls!!! Fingers crossed for you and I will say a prayer for you ...

 

[MrsCompass]

Thank you mrscompass for taking a look at my chart. I was thinking it was two days earlier as I had extreme o pains but maybe it was just my ovaries gearing up to ovulate. I'm terrible at working out my chart. If I did ovulate 8 days ago I'm guttered as it's the only day we didn't do the deed!!!

Temping can play with your head, huh? It does with mine. But with charting, I have learned soooo much about TTC, my cycle and my body. I actually make copies for my doctor and she keeps them in her file. My last visit with her, I was even surprise that she took the time to go through the charts with me. What does she have to say about my chart? She said, "We have to fix your ovulation day and make it sooner". Hahaha ... uhm you think?!

Chook, I think you're still okay even if you didn't do the deed since you did it a couple of days earlier. I have heard and read that those female sperms live longer

I'm going to be stalk your chart. I love looking at people's chart. I'm obsessed. lol!

I posted this in another place too, but what I want to know is if anyone starting OPK's to make sure they didn't ovulate early on Femara. If so, when did you start to POAS? I am thinking of starting on CD 8, as my scan isn't until CD 11 and if I O'd early I would be really upset!

So hmm 2 more days until testing, jesus....I hate waiting...but I am fairly certain the PMS is coming. I am teary....and emotional.

Hi Sibling - I used OPK but I usually test as soon as I see a dip on my bbt chart. I'm one of those lucky ones that get a dip as heads up before ovulation.

Mind you, I'm not 100% trusting my OPK due to my PCOS.

Some of the threads I read suggest testing 1 full week prior to suspected ovulation date.

Thanks MrsC! When are you going to test?

Yes 2 more days! I am sure AF is around the corner for me, too, MK

This morning hubby and I were texting. I told him, I have a feeling it will be negative. He wrote back and said, "it's okay, hun, try one more cycle and if that's not successful, we're going to ask for IUI". I cried buckets when I read that. I was so happy to know that he is with me on this. In the past, I felt like I was the only person ttc'ing in our relationship.

Hang in there!

Try not to give up hope just yet! The crazy thing about PMS symptoms is that theya re also PG symptoms! You know, just to mess with our heads even more!

We posted at the same time! This morning I sent my DH an email about what I wanted for Christmas, and added something at the end about can he please get me pregnant...and he wrote back that this pregnancy is all I can think about...so that made me sad - but he's right.

Hey Ladies....I can't wait to hear if we have any Christmas BFP's!! I'm out of the running since the wicked witch AF showed up...MEANIE!! I took another 20mg of Femara yesterday and trying to keep my hopes up this round. I read WAY too much into symptoms last cycle and at least know what to expect this go around. I found out I screwed up my HCG injections too...just 165 bucks down the drain....no biggie. I was confused and gave myself a shot on what I thought was peak day and I was supposed to do only days 3,5,7,9 AFTER peak day...what an idiot I am also NOT going to test until 17dpo like my doctor stated..cause that false positive is the pitts!!

GOOD LUCK to all you ladies still in the 2WW....praying for you and if it doesn't happen this time, we will look forward to a BFP in the NEW YEAR

I am not sure I understand you...do you take more than one HCG injection? I will take one trigger shot on what my scan shows as my peak time...then do the deed that day, next day and next day (DH has good sperm!)

Hello Siblingwishes! I am not doing a trigger shot and that is what confused me because I saw that's what everyone else was doing. My doc is using small doses of HCG on days 3,5,7,9 after ovulation for progesterone therapy because my levels were low. I wasn't supposed to give myself a shot on the day I ovulated...but I did. All I can do now is try again and hope for the best. I am desperately trying to increase my CM too...it just isn't very good

Thanks Compass and Siblingwishes, I am having a pity me kinda day, I was out buying a Christmas card fro my hubby, and read the front and I loved it. Then inside the next line read something about running outside with our kids. That did it for me, I am wanting a little life of my own. I look at husband sweet face and I picture our child looking back at me. I will be 35 in May, and I know i am not old, but it is older when you think of having a child.

 

[MrsCompass]

Awww MK ... I know what you mean. Hope you feel better soon and I'm praying for you BFP.

 

[Shareena]

Well, I just got my BFN!! I am so disappointed
I feel so mad at myself and feel that I let down my husband more!
This is so hard...I just hate ittttttttt

 

[siblingwishes]

Well MK I rally hope you get your BFP for Christmas! FXFXFX

 

[MrsCompass]

I'm sorry, Shareena.

Don't be too hard on yourself. I'm sure your Husband doesn't feel that you let him down and loves you just as much if not even more for being so persistent.

This is really hard. BigBigHUGS!!

 

[Tiffany231]

Sorry Shareena. I know how hard this process is. There were many months I convinced myself I was PG...but AF always came... along with the disappointment. I stopped talking to my husband about it and I think he convinced himself it will never happen... but it is just his way of dealing with it.

I'm sure your husband is not disappointed with you since it is not your fault. He knows you are doing all you can. Ultimately, it is in God's hands I will be trying along with you for a New Year's BFN! Do something nice for yourself...have a glass of wine...tell DH to bring you on a date...it will get better...praying for you!

 

[siblingwishes]

Shareena, Sorry for your BFN! I am sure your DH does not blame you in the least bit! I think they just don't really know how to express themselves when it comes to this stuff!

 

[Charisse28]

Sorry about the BFN Shareena, I often feel the same way but my husband reassures me that everything will work out in our favor. I'm sure you DH loves you and does not feel like you have let him down. Easier said than done but don't give up and try not to be so hard on yourself. ~BIG HUGS~

 

[MrsCompass]

How are you doing, Charisse?

 

[Charisse28]

How are you doing, Charisse?

I'm doing great, thanks for asking How about yourself?
Got my follie scan on Monday and I'm excited and I'm just leaving it in God's hands. I get to take my good luck charm with me (DS) since they're out of school now.
