May 2010 Clomid Round 2 Buddies

[ttcbaby117]

Aww Mrsja....so sorry to hear that! I feel gutted for you! Take the time you need to work through these emotions and we will be here when you are ready to come back online. Huge Hugs!

Jess - So sorry this cycle didn't work out for you as we'd hoped. I completely understand needing some time away from the forum. I'm glad you & DH made up; sometimes we just have to forget about things we do to eachother in marriage - it's hard work. I had to do it several times with my DH just this week.

TTC - I completely understand your mixed emotions. Very much hoping your turn comes very soon.

I tested again this AM and the result was similar to yesterday. I think I see a faint line, but I honestly can't tell if I'm imagining it. Hopefully tomorrow's test will be clearer. I'm also going to go buy a different test tomorrow to see if the result is more definitive. I've been feeling much different than typical pre-AF...I'm either preggers or going a little coo-coo.

 

[MrsJA]

TTC and Lola, thanks so much for your kind words.

I am starting to pull myself together a bit today.

Lola, I really don't want to miss it if you get that BFP, so maybe I will hang around a bit...

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Oh Mrs JA....I'm sooo sorry. So very sorry. I pray your next cycle will be the charm . Do take care of each other....you will be surely blessed soon.

Lola....I have everything crossed for you!!!! Good luck sweetie!

I am 99.99% sure I am ovulating from my bad side this cycle....so I am technically counting myself out early, to save myself the heartbreak. I am also considering a break till after I get back from the States in August or so. In fact, to be honest, I am considering IUI as the next step, because really, I am tired of this drama. I really pray this journey ends soon.

Also thinking of changing my FS. My current doctor is great and will always be my Gynae...but I recently discovered a more specialised fertility clinic....and I am really considering the change.....

Lyndsey, how are you hun?

Kel sweetie....how're you? Are you in the dpo zone yet?

Ttc, Mrs Palmer, Caz.....hope you're all keeping well.

Good very early morning, girls. Well, I can't deny my latest result... at 13DPO I can't believe after so many years that I actually just typed that. I had to go find how to do that flashing BFP!

I swear, I knew it was it this cycle. From 5DPO, my tailbone & lower back just felt like something was going on. Part of me thought it was crazy to feel something that early, but inside I just knew it was happening.

I also knew b/c, seriously, God completely spoke to me early on in this cycle. I didn't share this little story before, because seeds of doubt would creep up and I feared looking silly. I was shopping and walked past the kids clothing. This little pink dress caught my attention & I thought how pretty it would be if I had a little girl. I dismissed it immediately so I wouldn't get bummed out. A few days later, I'm back in the same store (yes, I shop too much!). I walked past the kids' section and there was that dress. God said to me plain as day "That's my promise to you". I felt He was prompting me to get the dress, so I brought it home & hung it in the otherwise empty nursery closet. His timing may have been different than mine, but He has done as he promised. I'm so grateful.

I so want to share this journey with you guys. I pray you'll get your BFP's soon. Don't give up - praying for you all.

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Oh Lola . I am sooooooooo happy for you. Congratulations . Wishing you a h&h 8+ months!

 

[MrsJA]

LOLA!!!!!!!

OMG, OMG, OMG! At last!!!

I'm so happy for you! You SO deserve this honey.

It really lifts my spirits to hear your wonderful news. The past few days have been awful, but this goes to show, good things will come in the end.

Sending lots and lots of love to you and the little bean. You did it!!!

Isi, thank you for your kind words and sorry to hear you might be ov'ing on the wrong side. I think IUI sounds like it could be a great option for you if things don't work out this cycle. xxx

 

[sarlar]

EEEEKKKK!!!!! Lola congratulations I am so so so so happy for you!!! You deserve this so much!! I have been on vacation for 8 days so this was about the best thing I could have come home too!!!! Hoping you will stay around and keep us updated!! Let us know if you start a preggers journal and i will subscribe God sure works in misterious ways but i think your story is absolutely amazing!! must buy baby book and write story for new baby!

mrs.ja- I am so so sorry about your IVF cycle. I know it is absolutely heartbreaking and I pray you can recover and get back on the wagon soon. we are here for you hun

kel-Hoping you are doing well and back into full swing with us!!

TTC- hoping your body does natural miracles and you end up with a bfp in this ntnp wait time

Is- Dont count yourself out yet, you just never know!! Hoping for those eggies to listen to their mama and work on the good side!!

If I missed anyone, hope you are doing well!! Hard to catch up with everything!!!

AFM, I have been in wisconsin/minnesota visiting family for the last 8 days. It actually was perfect cause I left the day af arrived so i kept totally distracted about my first month failure!! AM back to taking the clomid 50 mg days 5-9 which i took my last pill yesterday. I will start tussin and grapefruit today. Still have to go pick up some opks. HOnestly I am SO relaxed this cycle i dont even wanna go get em!! I just feel like last cycle i went way overboard and it was so so hard. this time i am already on day 10 and havent even picked up supplies!! I am going to try to keep this relaxed attitude throughout the cycle. FX cycle 2!

 

[daisii]

Lola, WOW congratulations!!!! YEY,

So happy and excited for you. I knew from when you said "faint line not sure" that it was a 'cos thats exactly how I was.

Wishing you a healthy, happy 9 months. (8 months tomorrow!!!!!).

[lola13]

Thanks, everyone. How awesome it is to have you all genuinely excited.

I always like hearing about what people did differently, timing, symptoms, etc. So if you're interested, here's my scoop:

CD 5-9 - 100 mg clomid
CD17 - BD evening
CD18 - First peak on CBFM
CD19 - IUI mid-morning, BD evening, Assumed ovulation day

2DPO-present - Bloated abdomen (figured it was IUI)
5&6DPO - Tailbone & low back achy
7DPO - Boob soreness begins, came and went in the following days, oddly never as bad as before AF
10-13DPO - AF like cramping, low back pressure

I worked out pretty much as I normally would during TWW. I swam, walked, did kickboxing and elliptical. Apparently all those cycles of working out weren't interfering with implantation after all!

I had one glass of wine on two separate occasions. I won't be doing that now, but no harm done I'm sure

 

[caz & bob]

girls how are you all im testing Saturday whoop xxxx

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Welcome back Sarlar. Wishing you all the best this cycle

Thanks for sharing, Lola! I'm so chuffed for you! Can't wait to join you on that side

Good luck Caz.

[dizzikel]

Thanks TTC,

Unfortunately AF has now arrived in full force - there are no ifs, buts or maybes and I'm certainly not looking to kid myself about IB. This IVF cycle has failed

DH and I are taking care of each other and the fight is forgotten, but I am so sad. I'm going to take a couple of days off work, and I am probably also going to take a couple of days off posting, but I will be watching out for you guys.

Lola, honey - hope your news is better than mine xxx

So sorry hunny!

I know it is hard bu TRY to stay positive...I believe everything happens at the right time. I have two friends who got caught at the same time as us so am finding it very difficult to stay in touch with them at the moment! It is just soooo unfair!

Look after yourself sweetie xxxx

 

[ttcbaby117]

OHHHHHHHH Lola....what amazing news!!!! I am so happy for you! I am so glad your good news is keeping mrsja around for a bit longer....

Sarlar - welcome back.

Mrsja - glad to hear you are sticking around a bit longer....

Isi - sorry about oving on the wrong side. I hope it all works out and you get that bfp regardless!

everyone else...I hope you are having a wonderful day/evening!

 

[yomo]

TTC - I don't think I'll be able to resist testing again tomorrow. I need to confirm if my eyes are playing tricks on me or not. Hopefully 1 more day will be enough to make a difference. I feel a little crazy for thinking I saw something. Will feel so foolish if AF shows up!

Palmer - For me, my ovulation pains went away 2 days after my positive OPK. I knew I had ovulated and the discomfort disappeared. Sounds like that's not necessarily the case for others.

Kel - Thinking about you, toots.

Jess - Keeping busy? Or just going nuts? Rooting for your uterus

Congrats babes, H&H nine months to you xx

I am good thanks Isi, I am sorry to hear that you think that you are OV on your bad side, but keep on just in case honey.

Hope you are ok other than that xx

 

[lola13]

Hi Girls ~ day 2 of knowing & I just can't sleep. Part insomnia, part excitement, large part freaking out. You wait for this to happen & then think...wait, what have I done to myself!!?

I want you guys to join me. I don't want other buds, to be honest, I want you guys!

 

[MrsJA]

Evening girls,

I just wanted to say thanks again for how wonderful and supportive everybody has been to me over the past few days. It has helped me more than I can tell you.

So a little update...

I had to go in for a blood test this morning, as part of the IVF protocol, knowing already what the result was going to be because I've been bleeding for 2 days - but unfortunately I didn't get the straightforward negative I was looking for.

It's come back positive but my HCG level is really, really low. Which means I've got to go back for a follow up blood test on Monday - but my expectation is that the pregnancy will be no more by then.

I haven't decided yet whether this makes things worse or not? I am probably either way. It does mean we're in limbo over the weekend anyway, which isn't great.

My beta is 5 so I think it is very unlikely I'm going to get good news on Monday - probably just another kick in the guts

Anyway, sarlar, I am loving the relaxed approach this cycle, you sound really chilled out and good to go!

Lola, thanks for the post-BFP symptom update, I loved it. I still can't believe you got your BFP - it is the best news ever! PS - yes, you are not leaving us, you are just going to have to wait til we all get our BFP's too - lol!

TTC, Isi, Yomo, Kel, Caz and Daisi - sending big hugs and lots of love xxxx
