Onto Next Round of Clomid - CD1

Yay, the dr. agreed to up my dose. They're calling it in today, but I won't pick it up until after AF comes, just in case! (see, always hopeful even when we're not feeling like it's gonna happen, the hope just never goes away, lol!)

We'll see what the higher dose does for me. :) (and we'll see if i have more side effects)

Good luck with the new dose...my mine side effect is hot flashes. I was about to strip last night but my husband was all frisky & my body was not over AF yet. :)

Hahaha! You are too funny beaglemom! Thanks for that, as I needed a laugh today!! :haha:
 
erin - I am so glad your doctor approved the increase! I sure hope you don't need it but at least it will be ready for you. Ugh - that is what I hate about making appointments, it always takes longer to get in than you think. I had to cancel an appointment with my GI specialist and the first available appointment was 3 months away...that is why I want to start scheduling appointments now, that way I don't have to wait and I can always cancel them if I don't need them.

I had a strange day - felt like AF was coming this morning, heavy cramping but no sign yet. A few hours ago my bbs started aching bad and my lower back started to hurt. I just ate dinner, I am starving and I can't taste anything. I kept trying different things and they all tasted the same. I have a feeling if AF does show up - it will be a rough few days.

I can't drink on my meds or with my new diet...so please someone enjoy a glass of wine for me!!

Thanks savvy, I'm kind of excited to start the higher dose next cycle. It's the normal dose that they start girls at, so I just feel a little better knowing I'll be on a more typical amount. 25mg seemed low. They don't even make pills in that amount, so they had to half them!

So the symptoms you're having now...are those typical pre AF signs or is that new? The food thing is interesting...I'm gonna have to still be hopeful for you!
 
That's great you got an appt, Erin! Hopefully you won't need it though... ; )

I still have hope for you, Savvysaver!!!
 
Girls, I got another bfn this morning at 15dpo, and my temp is low again. Also started with the spotting, and I'm really crampy, so AF is probably gonna show today. At the latest, tomorrow. So I'm pretty much out this cycle.

When I put in my temp this morning, FF took away my crosshairs, so as an experiment, I put in that I got AF, and it puts the crosshairs back on. So I guess I'm just not supposed to have so many low temps without AF arriving. I took AF outta the chart for now, since it's not officially here, but i feel certain that it's coming at any time. Happy Thanksgiving to me, ugh.
 
Horrible cramps this morning and TMI lots of stomach issues which also happens right when AF shows...losing hope. We will see what happens later today.

Erin, I am sorry about the temp drop and bfn. Hopefully third time is a charm and the increased clomid will do the trick. I know you mentioned you could tell more people in person if you get a bfp this next cycle.

How is everyone doing this morning?
 
Still here and waiting. 7dpo... its a big hurry up and wait game at our house. my husband schedules us for a fs in Feb. and i have my yearly obgyn appointment in January. thought we could always cancel the fs if needed. he's going to have a sa done.

My symptoms are still confusing. Bbs still sore near armpits, nipples constantly erect and feel raw. Woke up this am with lots of energy but feels like I'm about to have diarrhea which always happens before AF. Yesterday I had yellow stretchy cm and this am dry again. AF due today but no spotting yet. We shall see.
 
Good Luck Stacy!

Sorry about the negative, Erin...but here is the good news for you & everyone else.

Christmas & New Year's pregnancy news is so much better than Thanksgiving pregnancy news :)
 
Beaglemom...you are right, it would be the perfect Christmas present ever.

Miss Stacy I am sorry you aren't feeling well. My boobs and armpits were super sore yesterday but are completely fine today. Did you test?

Future babyG, you are smart to make appointments ahead of time. You can always cancel. I am talking to my DH this long weekend to set him up with a SA and maybe some tests for me.

Savvy I am going to wait it out through the weekend. I want to enjoy the time with family and if no AF by Sunday I will test Monday morn.

I had some more yellow cm today and still feel like AF it right around the corner, I've had some wicked hot flashes today. Still some cramping. This wait sucks!!

Enjoy your time with your family! That will help the wait pass faster. I am testing tomorrow morning since I am a week late, I feel like AF could start any second now.
 
Hello ladies! I hope you are having a nice holiday. My husband is working, so I will be cooking this weekend...so I am spending the day vegging out (when I have plenty I need to do). I have been meaning to share this with you. I picked this book up at the library & asked my husband to read it. It is an easy read & written by a man for a man. It basically explains their long journey to becoming parents. My husband has found it very insightful & it also makes him realize how most of the work & hard stuff falls on me. I hope none of you have to go through IUI or IVF, but if you think it is going in that direction, check out this book.

Thanks for the book suggestion beaglemom! That looks really good!

Btw, AF got me today, on Thanksgiving day at my in-laws' house. :) At least I was prepared. Even though I'm behind you in my cycle, I'm gonna go ahead and join your thread since you're looking for clomid buddies. I may also start an additional thread for anyone in general hoping for New Years BFPs. :)

I'm still gonna check this thread every single day to see everyone's updates and chat! I'm still praying for some BFPs out of this thread!

Savvy, any news?? Has AF stayed away??

What about the rest of you? How's everyone doing? :flower:

EDIT
Oh, btw, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
 
Sorry AF got you Erin. Kinda funny you start on the holidays though- Halloween last cycle and thanksgiving this time. Lol. I hope you don't see her ugly face for Christmas!

A week late is great, savvy!! Hurry up and test so you can report back!! Lol

As for me, I'm an estimated 12dpo and am trying to wait til Sunday to test... The wait is killing me, but I'm trying to be strong! Lol
 
Oh, and hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!! I'm still so full!! Lol
 
Well the :witch: got me. At least I got through yesterday without her. I knew late last night that I'd wake up with her. Have a call in to my Dr office. Not sure what the plan is, don't know if another round of Clomid will make a difference. After 4 years I'm kind of discouraged.
 
Oh MissStacy, I'm so sorry. How many months have you tried the clomid? We're you O'ing? I've mentioned this a bunch of times, but since my friend got prego right after switching from clomid to Femara, I'll probably switch to that if I'm not successful on the clomid after this cycle. Sometimes Femara just works better for some women, although I don't know the science behind that. I know you must be very discouraged after four years, I'm so sorry, Hun. But don't lose hope... I've read lots of stories of women trying for many years and finally getting prego.

Allison, you're so right, what is it with holidays for me?! Lol!
