Yay! Rach-- I'm so excited for you!!! I'll add my prayers for you!

AFM, I'm glad today's my last day of Femara for this cycle. It hasn't been bad, but I have gotten a little cotton-brained - like I'm waking up from a really deep sleep and can't quite shake it. But it could be worse, so I'm happy. :)
 
Thanks Barb! I need all the prayer I can get! lol

That's strange that it affects you that way. I always had side effects from clomid, but never from my other meds.
 
femara or clomid: which should i go on if need be for next cycle? they work the same, correct?
 
The only thing with clomid is that, again, it can screw with your emotions and it can dry up your CM. I think you have to be taking it for a while though for it to dry you up. The femera is probably more expensive. I know a month of clomid was less than $20.00 where as my other meds were $80.00 a month.
 
Yes, I second what Rach said about Clomid. Femara is VERY expensive, so call around. I get mine from an apothecary (Avella) that mixes it themselves and it's only $12/mo. It was worth the research on that one! I think it was Walgreen's that wanted to charge over $100 for it. Lol-- yeah, right!

For me, Clomid was pretty much a nightmare. I've always reacted badly to birth control pills, so it's clear that I'm sensitive to hormones. The biggest side effect for me was total emotional unpredictability. I also got a bit paranoid and accused Hubby of some random and hurtful things. It was a disaster for us. (And, yes, this was on the lowest dose.)

Clomid also can thin out your uterine lining. It didn't for me, but I've read some women have that issue. As far as drying you out, I think they both can, but I was much drier on Clomid.

Femara doesn't cause the same hormonal response because it is actually an aromatase inhibitor, meaning it blocks production of estrogen. This makes your body go into overdrive to stimulate follicles. Clomid fools the brain into thinking it's not making estrogen (although it is) and it reacts the same way.

Finally, Femara's half life is really short. It's out of your system after about a day. Clomid's half life is much longer, so side effects can last several days after stopping taking it.
 
thanks! i'll see what RE says and go from there.
 
Wow, lots to catch up on!

Rach-Oh my goodness....finally, could it be!? You know you can count on my prayers to help darken that line! ;) Can't wait til tomorrow to hear some good news, but don't fret if it don't darken yet tomorrow, hcg rises or doubles every 2 days.

Mirolee-Hope bding is going well. When are you to O?

Laura-YAY! So happy you got the job! Hoping your next af comes asap so you can get back on the wagon! ;)

Barb-hope things are going well! Glad its your last day for the medicine. Hope it works for you!!

AFM-FF gave me crosshairs today so, I am officially 3dpo. Glad that is over with. I seriously just feel out from the uti and dh being sick. We maybe have 2 times that could've worked for conceiving. I guess we will see.Maybe it's good everything happened this way so I won't be so hopefuly and stressed thinking that I have a GREAT chance of being preggo. I'm telling myself I'm not until it's time to test. Please wish me luck and cross your fingers. xx

Yes I believe I found a few threads or stories that women got uti's in the 2ww and got bfp's, so I guess it won't affect anything....
 
Heather-- there are prayers enough for us all, so I'll send you some of mine, too! I don't think the UTI on its own is enough to keep you out this month and if you had two good chances at baby-making then you're definitely in the running! Fingers crossed!
 
Well, I think I maybe jumped the gun. 11DPO, and now the test is completely blank. I'm just really low today. I know it's still early, but it still sucks.
 
oh, Rach I'm sorry. Hopefully it's still early....I'm holding out for you too! :hugs:
 
Thanks girls. I appreciate the support. AF is due Saturday, so if I get a BFN that day, I think I'm going to drink a whole bottle of wine. :)

BTW Mirolee, I LOVE your new pic.
 
Oh rach i'm really sorry huni, but its certainly not over yet. Your in my prayers as each of you are. Just dont count yourself out yet sweetie, the witch might stay away fx

Heather, i hope your uti is going and your feeling better! Guess its tww time for you now good luck hun :hugs:

Barb, glad the med part is over, it doesnt sound te best but from what you said if i was to do it i would rather go with the fermera as well! Sending you lots of pos vibes and gl hun

Mirolee thats a lovely picture, in fact you all have lovely pics, i wouldnt have a clue how to download one. I'm awful with computers as you all have prob figured out lol.

Nothing to report here except i think i am O'ing right now. Its killing me not to do anything but i really feel as though i want to wait for the next cycle. I want to know my af and everything is back to normal plus still bit emotional from last time. Actually i am just going to do what i did previous to getting my last bfp and chill out and concentrate on this new job. Got my parents coming down with brother and his partner next weekend so more distractions lol.

Also concentrating on getting the house done up, what does everyone think about duck egg blue cream and brown for living room? I have had a look on a few room designs but i'm not 100% sure yet?
 
That's the colors I have in my bathroom!!! I love it! Go for it!

PS...Glad you have some distractions. I'm excited for you to try again next cycle. Well, not try, but ntnp like how it happened last time ;) Best of luck to you :hugs:
 
Thanks mama, how you feeling now?

Think i will still use some cheap opk's to see when i might O but really they never even worked last time properly so will just go with the flow i think!

Well just off to cook the tea before dh gets home, blehh, when i start work he can bloody well chip in and with the cleaning and washing to mwa ha ha :devil: its only fair right ladies?
 
I'm ok, feeling normal and better with uti. Just living life day by day, not expecting anything. Trying to be relaxed and not stressed. :)
 
That's great TTC-very happy for you. This thread seems to be good luck for everyone but most of us. Send some of that bfp dust our way, please!
 
:happydance: That's awesome TTC!!! Darker is better! Yay!!! That's what we like to hear. :happydance:
