Is this normal?

[wannanewbaby]

For me I def think it was a sign of implantation as I have never felt anyrhing like that before hopefully it's not a sign of af

 

[Braven05]

Still feeling confused this morning! Crampy still, heavy feeling in uterus, boobs still sore/sensitive. No cm though, which makes me think that AF will be here at any moment, because I usually dry up before AF. Temp didn't dip way down this morning though so I don't think it'll be here today. Today is CD 29 so I would expect AF tomorrow, Tuesday at the latest based on how long my cycle has been the past couple of months.

Fx she doesn't show up and a bfp does

 

[Braven05]

God I really hate this waiting and I hate getting my hopes up. It could all be in my head/from the Femara. I've just been waiting so long and this is the first time in years I've felt anything different (like pg symptoms). So frustrated.

 

[wannanewbaby]

Are you not testing early?? I would be dying to test if I was you!! If it's symptoms you have never felt before it could very well be preg symptoms.

 

[Hannah1029]

I sure hope this is it for you!!! Keep us posted

 

[Braven05]

I may have convinced myself to test early but I'd rather use FMU and not after drinking all day and not holding it long enough. Don't wanna waste a test. I was really going to wait until AF showed or I was a couple of days late but this is driving me nuts. I'm an emotional wreck today too. Ugh.

 

[Hannah1029]

I'm really rooting for you! Let us know what happens. I'm going to try and wait until I am a few days late to test because seeing that one single line is so crushing!! What thermometer do you use to track your BBT? If this month ends in a BFN I am going to start temping next cycle.

 

[Braven05]

I caved, lol. BFN, so there's that. Oh well. Guess it's just waiting for AF to show now. I'm not sure what thermometer it is...just a basal body thermometer...my husband picked it up for me and I can't remember where he grabbed it. I'm not really relying on my temps too much because my sleep is far too disturbed and inconsistent. I'll probably see a temp drop tomorrow.

 

[Hannah1029]

Oh no

I'm so sorry! But hey, on the bright side, at least you know you're ovulating now. When I need reasurrance I read the success stories from femara. I posted a link that should chear you up.

[wannanewbaby]

Braven don't get down like you said could very well be from drinking to much and not a good enough hold try with fmu again

 

[Braven05]

Thank you I'm totally taking it as a good sign, even though it's only being chalked up to the world's worst PMS. At least my body is doing something. Next cycle my gyn will increase my dosage to 5mg and hopefully that will help. Fingers crossed for us all that our BFPs come soon.

 

[wannanewbaby]

That's very true if no bfp this time maybe next month with the higher dose will do the trick

 

[wannanewbaby]

And now you will also know what kind of symptoms that medicine gives you so you know what is your new normal

 

[Hannah1029]

I'm taking 5mg on CD 3-7 and I've read that doctors have found 5mg to be the most effective so hopefully that will work better.

 

[Braven05]

Yes, that is mostly what I'm seeing as well. Do you know why some doctors prefer 3-7 and others 5-9? My doctor said she prefers 5-9 but I didn't ask why. Wondering if I should ask her about 3-7 for next cycle.

 

[Braven05]

Also, are you taking metformin Hannah? I can't remember if you said

 

[Hannah1029]

I'm not taking metformin. Although, I have read that femara and metformin are a great combo so If I dont get my BFP soon I'm going to ask about it. Also I heard that if you continue the metformin into the first trimester that the MC rate is greatly reduced in us PCOS ladies, but i'm not sure if that's true.

My fertility specialist said she has had more luck with 3-7 than 5-9. I have read success with both methods though.

You having any side effects from the metformin? I've heard they can be pretty gnarly lol.

 

[Hannah1029]

But it does seems to me that the women taking it 3-7 seem to get there BFP sooner.

 

[Hannah1029]

As of today, my bb's hurt bad but like up towards my armpit?? They almost feel bruised??

weird never felt that before.
