May the Luck of the Irish bring us all MARCH BFPS!

[TTC74]

Just checking in on all you ladies!

AFM - I'm waiting around for +OPK/peak fertility monitor reading. I figure it'll be another couple of days. Last month I Od on CD12/13 but I'm guessing this cycle (my first clomid cycle), it will be a little later. That's just a guess based on how light the OPKs are at this point, though. I'm fitting in a BD every other day to make sure I'm covered.

GL to all in the TWW!

Megan - I hope you manage to get some sneaky bd-ing in and that you have a chance in march.

Ttc - I hope you're bd-ing like you're in a new relationship lol.

Cd8 for me to day. Have started opks just in case. I didn't o last cycle (sstraight after my erpc anyway). I've heard of some ladies not ovulating for two of three cycles after an erpc/d&c. I hope that's not the case for me.

 

[penelopejones]

mdc - so sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll be able to find a treatment plan.

Spud & August - It does suck that some people seem to get pregnant so easily while other struggle. Just not fair.

AFM, CD23 and I got a positive OPK last night. Seems kind of late. I did get a darkened test around CD11 (tho not positive), but then it got lighter for a long time and then dark again. DH and I bd'd and now I have a horrible yeast infection. (Probably tmi, but has anyone had this happened while TTCing? Not sure if it was because we were making up for missed time while DH was sick and doing his sperm analysis, or if it is just one of those things). Anyway, I'm hoping we might have a shot this month despite all the disruptions. Just need a long enough LP for something to maybe happen.

Penelope - DH and I had that happen the month before I started temping. We bd'd a lot, because we'd had a rough month before. I made the mistake of using a 1 day treatment when I hear they're not safe in the tww. That was the month I had a random 9day LP and the worst AF ever. I still wonder if I didn't screw something up with the 1 day treatment.

 

[TTC74]

My OPKs are finally darkening up. Here's to hoping for a pos OPK tomorrow or Friday. I'm ready!

 

[nessaw]

Time to handle business!

I'm taking 100 mg CD5 - CD9. How about you?

Penelope if u have PH strips check his Sperms PH this might be an easy fix for u if its an issue as a round of antibiotics for him to clear any underlying infection!!
I get irrated too w a lot oh BD my DH had a Varicocle and his PH is very high and mine is very low!!

 

[penelopejones]

Thanks everyone!

Lan - I took the 1 day treatment and it burned like crazy. Why is it unsafe during the TWW? I looked in the accompanying instructions and didn't see anything specific about pregnancy (although I guess TTC is different).

I hope I didn't wreck our chances this month....

 

[Lanfear333]

I could never find anything about the why, I just read on site after site not to use anything stronger than the 3 day treatment.

 

[Mdc]

Just wanted to say hi, and it sounds like there will be a lot of BD in the next week! GL to everyone.

Thanks for positive feedback. Leave it to me to have something crazy going on, but in feel more relaxed now and DH still wants to try this month. In his words 'my guys are probably really small anyways' LOL! I am cd12 today and just did my first OPK. Meant to start earlier, but forgot them when I was traveling. Probably will be just a relaxed cycle this month and I will TRY to not be the BD police

 

[Lanfear333]

Ugh. My back is killing me and has been since right before O. I'm hoping it's because I released a huge egg and now it's fertilized and doing it's thing.

August, I forgot to change my date! FF has my testing date as the 11th. I probably won't make it that long, but we'll keep it there.

 

[nessaw]

Ttc74 I am just taking 25mg cd2-6. These are left overs from 2 years ago. Back then I was prescribed 100mg same days. Am only taking it to try and level out my hormones post mc. But it worked the last time so fx.

 

[Wish2BMom]

hi girls! totally stalking since my IVF stuff won't start until end of March/beginning of April (so won't be testing until May).

August - I'm about to 'dude' you, warning! - DUDE, I TOTALLY get it! I just heard last week that my cousin is preg with her 4th kid. She lives with her folks/brother/kids/boyfriend in a small house, she has no job and can't keep one for the life of her, recent problems with alcohol, my aunt is basically paying for all of her kids all the time (and her!). HOW does she get to have another one when she can't really afford it and I don't?? And I guess she's announcing it at a family get together we have coming up. My sister called to tell me b/c she knows our situation and wanted to be sensitive of it and warn me that this announcement is coming up. So I guess I have a few weeks to get my reaction in order. No one is going to be happy about this, though - it's just selfish and reckless of her.
Also, I heard of at least 3 more pregnancies in the two weeks prior to this one, one on the same day. They are all already great moms, though, so that was fine but still tough to swallow. I'm literally tired of hearing 'we're pregnant!'. I feel horrible saying that and I don't feel that way when I come on this site b/c I'm rooting for you all.
Thankfully our vacation was really refreshing so my sensitivity has died down a bit.

FX'ed and for everyone!!

 

[AugustBride6]

Lan....you are updated! I sure hope you had a big ol egg released. You crack me up!


Wish...sounds exactly like my sister. She can in no way support or raise this baby. She wouldn't be able to feed the one she has if it weren't for government assistance. It's really a sad situation and I think I am more upset that she is bringing another child into this kind of situation than the fact that she is pregnant and not me. Her fiance is 49 years old (22 years older than her). I guess the fact that he was able to conceive at the age of 49 is good news for all of us 35+ ladies. That's the only silver lining I can think of!

So, you were successful with the clomid 2 years ago? How many cycles did you have to take it?

 

[TTC74]

Positive OPK this morning! So, this is it ladies. I'll be joining the TWW within the next couple of days. I can't wait for my first clomid cycle TWW (and hopefully my only one!). I've also been taking Fertile Aid and Fertile CM. The latter really seems to be working. I have more EWCM than usual by far. Fx for a March BFP for all of us!

 

[Fezzle]

Ooh- I think I have a bottle of some FertileCM somewhere- I completely forgot about that! How long have you been taking it?

Only 6 days but I really see a significant difference already! DH even mentioned it after BD. In fairness, it could be a side effect of the clomid, but I've actually read that less CM was a side effect of clomid. So, I'm chalking it up to the supplement.
