Mrs. B- I'm on 50 mg to start off with...how about you?

SLH- I know what you mean about coming to expect AF...I'm kind of the same way at this point. So, I guess that means that if either of us get a bfp in the next few cycles we'll be shocked!!!

Gdane- I'm doing good. I'm just waiting to ovulate. I just got my second high reading on my monitor, but my afternoon digi opks are giving me negatives, so no surge yet. We're holding off the BD session until then...we need our energy! LOL!

I'd give a test date, but I'm not sure how the clomid is going to effect my cycle yet, so we'll see!
 
I'm 50mg too, I'm not fully convinced It's doing what it should be, but i guess there is still time. I have booked myself in for day 21 Bloods as i think they should check lol
 
They start everyone at 50mg I was only on that for one cycle then they bumped me up. But I have seen girls conceive with 50mg
 
I agree with the starting dose, I don't agree that they can give 3 cycles worth and not see you again until after regardless of how it effects you. That only leaves 3 more cycles, so 3 more chances :( so i booked Bloods and will kick off it doesn't work and demand an increase :haha:
 
I'm on 100mg. My doctor gave me a repeat for 3 months, but since I go in for cycle monitoring and see a doctor everytime I'm there, I asked them to up it because it didn't seem like 50 was doing a good job. My follicles were smaller than they were without medication, but they did grow properly whereas the month before without drugs they didn't grow as fast. 100mg seemed to have worked WAY better. My follicles grew stupid fast and were huge on CD10. I don't know why 100mg worked better than 50mg. I wasn't expecting to respond so well to the dosage increase.

I guess what I'm saying is that if 50mg doesn't work I would ask your doctor to increase it.

I have read that clomid delays ovulation in some women, and for others it speeds things up.
 
I think that's the tough part right now, SLH. Not knowing if the Clomid will delay ovulation, or if it will come early. So, between the CBFM, and the afternoon digi opk's, I'm hoping to catch the surge one of these days...
 
It is hard not knowing. I would expect it to happen to you at the same time you usually ovulate. You will catch your surge with everything that you are doing.

We usually don't start having sex until cycle day 9 because I always ovulate so late, but this month something was telling me to start having sex on day 6 as soon as AF ended, and thank goodness I did because I ovulated super early. It was weird how I was getting ovulation signs so early.
 
I really appreciate you all letting me vent. Unfortunately because it's the Army we are dealing with it doesn't work so easy. In order to see a FS I have to have a referral from my PCM. Well my PCM here in NY cannot refer me in Cali because he's a completely different network provider. Our insurance is split into 3 sections according to the US. Now I did get online and look up FS's that accept the insurance...yeah they are all in Los Angeles. Which will be over 3 hours away from post. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I'm going to ask my PCM if there is ANY way he can get us out of our orders but I Highly doubt that's going to happen. As for right now it's finally snowing in NY and it's really really nasty!
 
Can your PCM get you another PCM in California that can help you?
 
Lekker, I don't have any advice for you, but I will say this...if it were me, I'd probably make the 3 hour drive to the approved FS. Unless you find out that you need to be seen weekly or something. Hmmm...it's tricky, but I hope you can figure it all out.
 
I agree with Wookie Leekker, I am sorry you have to go through all of that!!
Hugs to Tryin, been thinkin of you sweetie!!
SLH-wooooooooohooooooo yay for two clomid eggys!! This may be your month whether you thnink so or not! Fingers crossed for you!!! oh and toes lol
Hugs to you as well!!
Wookie how ya doing sugar plum??
KeeKee yay for cleavage :) glad to hear your doing well!! I used to have cleavage and the working out kind of took that away but oh well lol when Im pregnant I will have plenty I'm sure haha!
Gdane How are you sweets??
Mrs. B HUGs!!

Atm I have been crazy busy with school work, but wanted to update you ladies since I always think of you all!
I went to my obgyn today to discuss the horrible pmdd and ttc as well! He gave me prozac to take days 14 until I get af he said it should help with the mood swings and such, I really hope so cause It was starting to get unbearable for me and probably hubs too LOL, he also said that it wasn't going to affect ttc.
He also suggested that DH get his swimmers checked! He said since I am ovulating there is no need to put me on clomid, which is weird because drs. are always throwing clomid at me like its the only thing they know to do not my fertility specialists but all my obs used to say to take it and it seemed thats all they cared about. so in a sense it calmed me but at the same time i thought he might put me on it, but he said ovulating 5 out of 7 months isnt bad and he doesn't think i need it right now. So, soon looks like we will be getting Dhs swimmers checked out then we will go from there!
This sunday we are going with Dhs family to dinner early for my bday, then next sunday the whole cabin thing :) super excited for that especially with aalll the research and school work I could use that break. looks like the cabin thing may fall around o, I seemed to have o'd early last month on cd 14, that was a miracle, if it happens again maybe the cabin love making will do the trick?? I sure hope so!!
 
Hello All,

I am new to BnB and just looking for some people to talk to that can relate...which everyone up here.

A little about me:

My dh and I are in our 18th cycle, 6th with chlomid and if this cycle doesn't work we are going to see a specialist. I am currently 4 dpo and hoping that this is our month. If it is Baby will be due on my birthday which would be the best birthday gift ever!!!! I have never gotten a bfp and have been diagnosed with PCOS. Even so, all my tests and numbers are good. Dh's sperm count was within normal range, but on the lower end of the spectrum. But they said it should be fine because his motility was really high compared to the norm. We recently purchased our home which we are just anxiously waiting to fill. We have 3 dogs who are our babies, but really want to add OUR baby to the mix.

Good luck to all of you :bfp:
 
Hi, No Doubt! You've come to the right group on BnB!!! I too hope that you get lucky this cycle, and are able to bypass a specialist. It would be lovely for you to fill your new home with children of the human persuasion!

Pook, sounds like you're a busy lady! I'll keep my fingers crossed that cabin sex is the lucky ticket!

Mrs. B- You're absolutely right to take charge of the progesterone and clomid dosage thing...sometimes docs need to WAKE UP, and realize that we now have access to all kinds of information now. It doesn't hurt them to listen to US once and a while!

Gdane- How's it shakin', dear? If you talk to Tryin', tell her we love and miss her. I'm praying her heart can find some piece after her loss. Miscarriage can really be a soul-shattering ordeal. It's awful.

Keekee- Glad the tatas are looking and feeling fine! If they are looking anything like that boobilicious smiley in your post, LOOK OUT, UK!!! Keekee's on fire!!! LOL!!!

Lekker- Still hoping you can come up with a feasible solution.

SLH- Soooo, you're in the 2ww? How many dpo are you?

AFM, I'm still waiting for my surge. I'm only on CD 9, so I musn't get my panties in a bind. BOR-ING, however.
 
Thanks Wook! I'm only a few days behind ya lady! I'm on cd 6...pretty boring so far for me too am is just leaving the buliding fully, so hopefully we get the bd marathon going pretty soon!

No doubt Welcome to our thread!! I hope this is your last cycle as well, and that you don't even need to see a specialist! I hope the best for you and tons of baby dust! If you have any questions or need anything us ladies here will be glad to help as much as possible!
 
Thanks ladies for the warm welcome. For a minute I didn't know if anyone was gonna talk to me...lol. I had posted a few times in other threads and started a journal in LTTTC and the only time people posted to me is when I originally responded to them first. But luckily I found this forum and now I have people I can chat with.

Sprinkling baby dust over all you ladies! :dust:
 
Welcome no doubt

Just a quick one, super busy this morning, will catch up later

I know not to read my sticks :haha: but I got a little excited ... The second line is very thick and visible today :happydance: hoping for a peak in the monitor very soon!
 
Hi ladies
Im cd3 at the moment, this will be my 3rd cycle using cbfm and my 4th cycle ttc, been trying since august, my cycles are long. I started using agnus castus and preseed last cycle, i am going to continue with that and add b complex in this cycle. So i will be using, cbfm, preseed, agnus castus, sanatogen mother to be, B complex and my dh takes wellman conception.
I was diagnosed with pcos in jan 09, my blood results were normal but i was obese and had enlarged and multiple cysts on my ovaries. Ive lost 8 stone since then and had another scan in nov 11 and gyno said he thinks i have pco not pcos, my left ovary is cyst free, right has cysts but both normal size.
I would really love to be pregnant before i turn 31 in april and my dh has just turned 36 so we arent young to be ttc #1. We have been together 14yrs next month and july will be our 5th wedding anniversary, so after all that time i just want us to have a family now..
 
No doubt and mrs c :hi: and welcome!

Just a quickie this morning to send :hugs::hugs::hugs: to y'all and wish you a great weekend! Love all you ladies! xxx
 
Also a quick one for me, and back to bed!

Mrs. C-Welcome, and best of luck in your TTC journey. 31 is hardly old for conception, dear! I'm 33, and will be 34 in July, and trying for baby #1. We'll get there!

CBFM still on high, CD 10. Ho hum. I think waiting for my surge is more difficult than the 2ww sometimes.
 
Good morning ladies,

Ok, so I'm having a bit of a crazy moment this morning.

Today is cd 20, 5 dpo for me. Yesterday I was having dull twinges like a light cramp that only lasted for about a half of a second, and thick cm...not terribly a lot but more than usual for me at this time. Normally after ovulation, my cm is clear and almost non existent. Today I woke up and noticed what looked to be very light spotting, a brownish pinkish color...again not a lot, but this never happens to me either. Earlier in this cycle just before ovulation I had some spotting; again very light and pinkish...and no this never happens either. Yesterday I had to pee like crazy in the evening even when I wasn't drinking anything. It was like every 45 minutes, and it was a full bladder.

I'm hoping this means what I think it means, and I know it's stupid, but I don't want to say it, spell it, write it, or anything and then jinx it and get really disappointed. Every month that I've had symptoms that I don't normally get I get more excited than usual an then there is a huge let down. Those months are harder than other months.

It's so frustrating because so many preggo symptoms are the same as when af is coming. I'd say I'm trying not to get my hopes up so the let down isn't so bad, but I'll just be honest this time...my hopes are up.

Someone please help me stay calm. Going :wacko: over here!
