Onto Next Round of Clomid - CD1

[ERosePW]

Still no symptoms. my temp is slowly decreasing so I think I am going to wait af out. i expected af to start today but we will see.

Dangit. Well, low temps don't always mean AF. Sometimes it can spike right back up. See what happens in the morning.

 

[allisonmh]

FutureBabyG, no AF is a good symptom so you're at least having one!!! Lol. Don't give up hope yet!!

Beaglemom, I know it says on the fertilitea not to use it with clomid, but a lot of the reviews I read said that their dr actually approved them to use both together so it's something you could ask about if you do continue the clomid...

Savvy, what was your test this morning? Still faint? I can't wait to hear!!

 

[savvysaver]

Very super faint, like almost not there...still no AF. Will get a frer for tomorrow. ..losing hope. Feel really sick to my stomach with cramps and a few sharp pains. After about 10 minutes the line got a tad darker...but isn't that evap?

Allison...did you test? Fx'd for you!
Futurebabyg. ..how are your temps today?

 

[allisonmh]

I'm still getting BFNs and AF is due tmrw so I'm pretty sure I'm out. But my tea will be here on Thursday so perfect timing on that end! Lol
I'd see if I could make an appt, savvy. I bet you are pregnant and it's just taking longer to register with the urine. At least see when you can get in, you can always cancel the appt if AF does decide to show her ugly face...

 

[savvysaver]

Allison- I didn't get a faint positive until I was over a week late. There is still hope! Glad your tea will be here soon. Have you ever tried it before? Where did you order it from?

I am definitely calling my doc this afternoon when I get home. I think only a blood test will help put my mind at ease. I can always ask them about testing too if AF gets me.

Edit ... just called doc and have blood test at 1:20 tomorrow.

Good luck with your test!

I don't know about Allison, but I have seen the tea on amazon. I should ask my doctor about it, but for some reason I get the vibe from her that she would rather stick with science & not tea. But who knows? Maybe she is open minded.

Allison, I am also still holding out for you...like savvy says, you are not out until you are out. You can google it & there are A LOT of women who feel like AF is coming, it never does, & they don't get a pos until a week or even later.

Temp went back up this am. i work the next two nights so my temp may not be accurate. Just waiting on af.

 

[allisonmh]

Yeah, I know a lot of people are late testers so it could still happen, I'm just not too optimistic about it. : /
I ordered the tea on amazon like beaglemom said. That's so exciting you have an appt tmrw! I can't wait to hear what the results are!!
Beaglemom, yeah it's definitely worth an ask. You never know what they'll say!

 

[ERosePW]

Savvy, I'm SOO glad you have a blood test tomorrow!! That will make it official. I think you are totally fine, and it's just not registering strongly in your urine yet. Not sure about the 10-min thing. I know they say 3-5 minutes max, but I thought I read somewhere, that you could technically look up to ten minutes without worrying about evap..? Not totally sure though. I just think if you're getting the faint line in the specified amount of time, that's enough to know you're pregnant.

FBG, that's great your temp went back up! Keeping fingers crossed then! I was so happy to see that when I looked at your chart.

allison, GL with the tea! But I haven't lost hope for you yet either, since AF hasn't arrived. I know the prog does that, but you still never know. Did you happen to ask your dr about the late BFPs you've seen, and whether or not stopping the prog would hurt anything? I know you said you'd be taking one instead of two, right?

beaglemom, I get what you mean about drs being more science-minded. My dr is open and listening when I talk about natural stuff, and I find that he encourages me to try something if I mention it, but I think he only does it because he's a very encouraging man in general... I dont think he does it thinking it would work over the next medical treatment. Doctors, ugh! LOL

I know...sometimes my doctor is just like I'M GONNA GET A BABY IN YOU FAST! And I am thinking about all the scenerios to get that done. It's not like she can implant a fetus in me. Wish she could...wish they could just grow one & put it in when it was ready to grow on it's own.

Thanks beaglemom. I had myself so worked up about those lines, that as soon as I made my appointment I immediately felt better. Just getting the confirmation that everything is okay is all I need.

I understand why doctors aren't into the health food stores and products since they are not "proven"...but that doesn't mean that the products don't work. I take a probiotic from the health food store and I did a lot of research on it, but my GI doctor just wants me to take Align...I honestly feel like my health food store product has so many more benefits but my GI specialist doesn't have time to do the research, she recommends what the program recommends.

Temp went back up this am. i work the next two nights so my temp may not be accurate. Just waiting on af.

Glad to hear your temp went back up! Hoping for a bfp for you instead of af!

Allison - try to stay positive! It would be awesome to see you announce a bfp! Still got my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks ERose...I immediately felt more relaxed after making that appointment. However it turns out I am glad I will have more information.

So I decided to test this afternoon again. Amazingly with my tiny bladder I held it for over 4+ hours and drank about 1oz of water during that time. Again used a cheapie wondfo because I forgot to stop on my way home to buy a test! I am going to try to post it over in the gallery, figured maybe someone would have some advice or thoughts on the test.


Thanks again girls for all of your help!

 

[ERosePW]

Oh, post it here too! I wanna see. Or I can just go to the gallery and find it!

I just posted it in the gallery and will attach it here too. What do you think? This is a wondfo and I took the picture about 5-6 minutes after I took the test. It says to wait 5 minutes on the package.

Hi ladies! I just found your thread and wanted to see if I could join in.

I'm at the tail end of my third clomid cycle. I expected AF today and had some spotting yesterday, but free and clear today. My pregnancy test shave all come back negative, so now just waiting

Hi babytee! Welcome! Lets hope AF stays far away from you! I am over 10 days late for AF and finally just got a faint bfp on Sunday. I think it was Saturday that I had a little brown discharge, so I got a faint BFP the day after. I am going in for a blood test tomorrow.

 

[FutureBabyG]

i believe i see a faint line or i just have line eye not sure.

ps af just showed up so maybe a September baby. i would be thrilled with September.

 

[allisonmh]

Welcome babytee, I just finished my 3rd cycle as well. AF is due tmrw and all tests have been negative. : ( oh well. There's always next cycle!!

Savvy, I definitely see a very faint line there. I can't wait to hear about your appt tomorrow!!

 

[ERosePW]

Welcome babytee!! Fingers crossed for no AF for you!

Savvy, I def see the line too! And if we can see it on a photo, it must be a pretty decent one!! Please update us on your dr appt tomorrow!! Can't wait!

FBG, I'm SO sorry! I know you weren't feelin this cycle, but still... It still blows. But a Sept baby does sound good to me too! I feel so good about this cycle, I feel we're gonna see lots of Xmas BFPs.

 

[ERosePW]

*Reminder* since everyone's cycles are reaching the end... If you're interested, Beaglemom started the new clomid thread, and I started a December thread (for Xmas or New Year hopefuls, or even beyond if your cycles are long). I joined her clomid thread, and she joined my Dec thread, lol. Just wanted to remind everyone (if you haven't already joined), that if you're interested, they are there and we'd love to have ya!

We will continue to be active on this thread until everyone has reached the end, with either AF or BFP.

GL to Allison and Babytee!!!! No AF is a good thing, and I refuse to count you out unless it arrives! We all know now that a very late bfp is very possible.

Another super faint test this morning, that makes 4 in a row and they all seem like they are the same and not getting any darker at all. I should know soon enough, too bad the blood test isn't immediate - I am sure they have to send it to the lab and run the tests. That means more waiting for me....hopefully I can get the results on Thursday.

I guess I am just worried the line isn't getting darker even though I am a few weeks beyond O day. Last day we BD was the 13th, they say sperm can survive 2 - 5 days but that still puts me at the very least 17dpo but my opk's were completely negative around that time so I am estimating I am closer to 23dpo.

I joined the new threads to follow along and I can't wait to see some bfps at the end of the month!!
