Isn't it neat to see the dye fill your uterus and tubes? For the moment it was painful, getting the "alls clear" was well worth it. Glad it went ok

 

[laustiredttc]

Yey, that's fantastic news trina, congrats

 

[Trina86]

Thanks everyone! It was just nice to get some good news. I think ill be starting clomid later this month, hopefully it fixes my cycle!

 

[Brayr08]

Laus, I'm sorry to hear about your friend.

Trina, glad you test went well. I hope the clomid straightens everything out for you. How long have you been TTC?

Welp, just another BFN this morning. So now I just wait for AF.

HW-When is AF due?

 

[HWPG]

i just ovulated, i'm like 4dpo. so about 8/27 or so....
i'm sorry about the bfn. i just want to squeeze you! but word around town is taht you are the BEST auntie out there!

 

[Brayr08]

I hope this is it for you HW.

And thanks. I am a pretty awesome aunt.

 

[HWPG]

thanks!
being an aunt is lots of fun, no? i keep saying "omg, he (my nephew) has so much stuff, he doesnt need anymore!" and then i find 100 things to get him, haha. i literally just purchased a dolphin/shark book-poster-figurine set for him. oh, and i purchased tickets TO HAWAII for me and my bf eeeee!

 

[Trina86]

HWPG fabulous news about Hawaii!!Mind me asking which island? Any of them will be amazing! I'm hoping to go to Hawaii next year. And I am also an auntie and it is absolutely so much fun!
Brayr08, I hope AF never showed! To answer your question DH and I started NTNP when i went off the pill in June 2012, when that didn't work we started with temping etc in October. Since July 2012 I have had really short cycles, except for 2 normal cycles all year, so my doctor thinks I rarely ovulate. My cycles were never ever short before 5 years on the pill so I have no clue what my body is up to.
I go for a follow up with my FS on August 27th to discuss next steps. Does anyone have any recommendations for questions to ask? Should I request to be followed with ultrasound and blood work on clomid? It seemed like my doc was not going to do this which surprised me.

 

[HWPG]

The big island (also called Hawaii, which I didn't realize). We're staying in Kona, but we'll be there ten days, so enough time to get all around, including some hiking in the crater, hopefully! I'm about seven dpo right now and SS like crazy, and really really having high hopes, which I wish I could just have no hopes and be surprised instead of high hopes to be let down. Boo.

 

[Trina86]

I've always wanted to visit the big island-enjoy!
Any more symptoms HWPG? I have my FX for you!

 

[HWPG]

thanks Trina. i would say no symptoms, although this morning i've been feeling a bit light headed and tiny waves of nausea. i'm counting it as a nervous stomach - i feel liked i've worked myself anxious over testing this month. sigh. i'm very nervous about a BFN, honestly. a few more days..... but thank you!

 

[Trina86]

Hi girls! How are you all doing?
I had my FS followup yesterday, turns out I am not ovulating on my own. I figured such. So as soon as I get to day 3 I'm starting on 50mg clomid. I'm feeling nervous but also hopeful.
Baby dust all around!

 

[HWPG]

hi trina!
i am on day 4 of my 5th cycle of clomid. sunday was HORRIBLE - so much crying, so much lack of comforting from my bf, so much heartache. *sigh*. i get this cycle and next cycle, then i'm off the clomid and onto..... i'm not sure. we'll see when we get there - i hope we dont get there!
good luck with your 50mg - i'm on 100mg. i was prescribed days 5-9, but i'm doing 3-7 this time.

 

[Trina86]

Hi HWPG, I'm so sorry you had such a hard day. It probably best to get it all out, I find I feel rejuvenated after a good cry. Best of luck to you this clomid cycle!!!
May I ask a very personal question..my FS says to BD day 10, 12, 14 and 16 and every day is too much. Do you BD every other day? I'm so worried if I don't do it more I will miss the window!

Hi Trina86, I have heard ( from a doctor) that it is better if u BD every day because the sperm changes. It can be good one day and bad the next. Don't forget you need GOOD sperm and GOOD egg and the RIGHT moment. Xxxxx .

 

[HWPG]

not personal at all on these boards, trina! my FS said every other day or every third day. if your partner has normal sperm, than every day *can* be ok, but they have done some research into it and found that while you may get stronger sperm if you have sex every day, you also get fewer. in fact, my FS said every third day is enough (i do not believe him on this one!). plus, every day can be hard on the couple.... but if you can, you can try!

I also think that having very often sex reduces the quantity. Personally I don't count the days or something. It happens naturally. It is as often as we feel but definitely we BD when O is.

trina, GL starting clomid saturday!

Thanks for the replies! I will make sure OH and I BD at least every other day, and every day if we are feeling like it or if I am noticing lots of o signs.

trina, GL starting clomid saturday!

Thanks!! I'm just really hoping it will get me to ovulate. I am on day 1 right now and OMG so heavy. Does clomid make cycles heavier/lighter/any different?
Good luck on your clomid cycle too!!
