Thank you that's really helpful

One of those down days it was because I woke up at 5:45 instead of 7:15. So it looks worse than maybe it is. That first dip might be my estrogen surge but who knows, lol.

Hey everybody I'm 9dpo and so far no spotting today woohoo! Last several days it's been mostly in the morning/early afternoon hours then tapers off by evening. It's 1:45 pm here now so hopefully I'm good for the day.

I think maybe a couple of ladies in this thread have tried Clomid, so I'll try this question here. I've heard it can have no bearing on progesterone. But I've heard it can make me ovulate better and so the better egg means better corpus luteum which makes more progesterone. This idea makes sense to me, but maybe I just want it to fix everything!

I'm definitely feeling "out" this cycle, but since I can never really give up all hope, I'll probably test on Saturday. Maybe all that spotting was from a super amazingly epic egg bursting forth, lol. Hahahah okay I'm kidding.

Eyemom - I have everything crossed for you x

I wish I could have faked my sickness. Unfortunately, with strep throat you can easily tell I am sick. My voice changes and I can't stop coughing. I get this once a year so he knows when I am really sick. Its okay though, I got the antibiotics and by tonight I shouldn't be contagious, or at least that is what I am going to tell my DH.

I guess we don't need to BD every night, but that is what we did the last time I got pregnant. There is nothing wrong with my DH, but I just have a hard time getting pregnant. So I figured it would give us the best chance possible if we BD every night. I am sure my endometrosis haven't came back so soon, but at the same time I am a bit paranoid. It did take me 5 months after my last surgery to get pregnant, so it might take as long after my D&C.

Ha, my voice changes too right now and i'm a coughing fool! but it's like i don't give my DH an option. Especially with being on the fertility meds and doing a trigger and the doc telling us the 3 days to DO IT, we do it no matter how we're feeeling. My DH doesn't like to waste money.

i will O tomorrow due to timed cycles and medicine. Had my u/s today and it was perfect. 3 perfectly mature follies. one on the left and two on the right, measuring 23mm, 22mm, and 20mm. Perfect lining too. got my trigger shot, now we just wait. If not luck this cycle, next cycle we are doing IUI!!!

Yay! That's exciting. I know that scan gave you the extra burst of enthusiasm. It sounds very promising that this cycle will be your cycle; I mean why not? Lol...

How long are your cycles? O on CD15 sounds like a 29-30 day?

I know, right?!

I'm a 28-dayer, sometimes 29. I O based on whatever day my trigger is due to the fertility meds. It's so crazy. One month they had me take the femara days 3-7 so i got my trigger on day 12 and o'd on cd13 because you O around 36 hours later so the last 2 cycles i've taken the femara days 5-9 which means i trigger on cd14, making me O on cd15. I still get my period roughly on cd28 or 29. It's crazy how right on time everything is even while taking the progesterone up until AF.

Oh wow that's cool to be able to control your O day. I wish I could! A 28 day cycle seems to be the most desired cycle. It seems like it will make conceiving easier.. I hope that this is your cycle this month to get your BFP.

I used to be a 33-dayer pre baby but my last cycle was 27 days. Now I'm in my 3rd cycle since my loss and idk if it's my normal 33 or the new 27 lol. So I based my O day off of the 27 day cycle & the 33 day cycle to be safe. I took BC for one month but got right off of it and my period was normal but the second cycle was short and completely different

Oh I definitely understand. I would feel the same way. You've had a difficult journey. We all have so I understand that you want to give yourself the best chance of conceiving!

For me, my fear is more so once I am pregnant! I lost my daughter so late (6months) so I do not have the luxury of being calm when ppl say I am "in the safe zone" after 12weeks. I am that 1% and that shit sucks So you and I will worry together through this journey!

Ugh, that just makes me so sad for you girl...yeah, you can't completely "not worry" until you have that baby in your arms. That is my fear too. I've never made it to 12 weeks or even 11 but i just know i'll worry up until viability day. It's just in us. We can't help it.

hmmm, cd4 here and i've been having weird cramping off and on. Was incredibly bad this afternoon, and i thought i might be getting flu, but the pain feels more uterus-y. Sorry if tmi, but some diarrhea this afternoon too. Wonder what's going on now? Happy new year everyone!

happy new year!!!

I see you're doing femara and progesterone. me too! and estrogen too? What's that do? do you get an u/s halfway through and a hcg trigger shot too?

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Thank you that's really helpful

Everything is going to be great Saturday!

i have great hope for you still this cycle!

I've only done 2 rounds of clomid and my first one was successful...although we lost them, it still worked. Good luck!!!

Well i'm not super hopeful for this cycle only because it's now cycle 3 on femara and no luck yet even with everything in perfect sync. So we shall see i guess.

 

[Mariahs Mom]

Oh ok well let's keep our fingers crossed for each other!!

 

[Kat S]

Fun with OPKs! My dollar store shows ovulation but the Clearblue gave me an open circle (not close yet). We're just gonna start home inseminations tonight and go through the weekend.

Good luck to everyone where ever you are in your cycle!

 

[brunettebimbo]

AF is on her way out, will start BDing soon and hope that I O on time this month! Hope your all ok

 

[nevergivingup]

HAPPY NEW YEARS LADIES!!!!!!

FX for everyone!!!!! Y'all ladies are amazing!!! I'm very grateful that I had you all in my life when I was going through so I am rooting for y'all every second. Every day I'm lurking bc I know you all will get what you all deserve, A Beautiful Child maybe not today or tomorrow but one day soon!!! This year is the year DONT GIVE UP ON WHAT YOU ALL DESERVE!!!!!

Love to All!!! WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS YEAR!!

 

[Calitronagrl]

Hope everyone's new year is starting out right for them. Was still feeling a bit crampy this morning so not sure whether I ovulated last night and feeling the after effects or if I am still gearing up to it. DH and I BD on Tuesday night, but we were both exhausted last night to do anything. Going to BD again tonight and hope that we caught the egg this month. My cycles now are about 31 days long, making today CD14, so guess I will start counting down the days when AF is suppose to arrive. Anyone else around the same time as me? Feeling pretty good about this month, but will be okay if it is not our month.
to all

 

[Starry Night]

Good luck, Kat and calitrongal! Catch those eggies!!!

calitron - if your cycles are 31 days long then you still have a few days to ovulate. You're still in it!

afm - scan is today. I can feel the baby so I'm more worried they'll find a complication of some sort. I had uterine notching with my son and I'm so worried I'll have it again. My OB said that you don't necessarily get it every pregnancy but what I've read online says different. Sometimes it is hard to know who is right. My OB isn't concerned because I was still able to go full term without intervention (some girls with notching go on blood thinners but I just had to be on bed rest) but I do think there was some reduced growth. At 27 weeks he was in the 97th percentile but he was born in the 40th.

Also hoping to find out the gender today!

And Happy New Year!!! Excited to see more bfps in the near future.

 

[Kat S]

Thanks, Starry!

I'm so excited for you! Check in with us when you find out the gender. If you have a preference, I hope your wish is granted

 

[Starry Night]

I do have a preference (girl) but I know beggars can't be choosers. My son is such a darling that last night I decided another one of him wouldn't be so bad. I'd miss having a chance to have a mother/daughter bond like the one I have with my mom but that's OK too. Or at least, I will be OK with it once I have a little cry over never having a girl.

we're having car troubles right now so I'm hoping we can get it fixed before we have to leave.

 

[Kat S]

Ugh, what is it with cars right now? Both my car and my husband's car had the dreaded "check engine" light come on. Mine will cost $300 to fix and his will cost $900 to fix.
