Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[AngelaALA]

AFM my Opks are still getting darker but not positive I'm worried now that I'm going to O in thereat few days I'm only CD7 and reckon I may O by CD10 meaning when I go for my follicle tracking it will be too late on CD16 to see anything at all as my follicles would have already collapsed so I won't know if I had any good eggs or not xx

I've decided though if that is the case then I'll request CD21 bloods just to confirm O occurred xx

Thanks dogmommy I hope it's my cycle too

Redrose that's amazing me and DH have discussed adoption too and looked into it it's so much easier and simpler now a work colleague has just gone through it and the whole process and it took them 18 months they now have a beautiful baby girl a year old and loving parent hood xx

Brandi hope the Docs sort out the mishap and your not long off TTC again FX for you this cycle xx

 

[dogmommy]

Brandi sorry dear that's so frustrating! Hopefully they get your dosage fixed for you. Fingers crossed you get started on your cycle quickly!

Red rose good for you. We've talked about adoption as well but it's very expensive and you're not even guaranteed to have a child placed. So I don't think we will ever do it. We are saving up now in case we have do multiple iuis or ivf.

 

[AngelaALA]

Dogmommy I don't know how you guys do it over there without a health service it's crazy, over here you don't pay for adoption from the research I've done and things I've been told you go through assessments to see if your eligible then if accepted just wait for the right child it only costs money later on after you have the child I think it's a year you have to then go to court to have the adoption made official xx

 

[krissie328]

I didn't realize the adoption process was so long! We talked about it before we had ds. We decided when dh was 35 we would adopt if we didn't get pregnant. But I think that's no longer going to happen. Which honestly I don't want to at this time. Dh really did/does. Maybe someday when our kids are older.

 

[AngelaALA]

Hey guys not sure if anyone is still using this page but just giving an update the I'm CD13 got positive on Opk yesterday so just waiting for O to start TWW xx

How is everyone doing xx Krissie not long now till you'll be back on Clomid xx

dogmommy how are you is everything going well xx

Brandi how are you getting on now and redrose how is everything going you started with adoption xx

 

[RedRose19]

No matter what country you are in you will have to pay alot because there is solicitors fees, and most countries ask for a donation to help towards medical bills etc, some dont charge like thailand and Philippines.
It takes 2 to 4 years here, i think i will give us a certain time and if no pregnancy we will go ahead with adoption

Good luck angela i hope this cycle is your lucky one!

Ive my first smear test tomorrow and then ive acupuncture thursday!

 

[AngelaALA]

Goodluck redrose with the smear and acupuncture,

Me and DH have also talked about adoption we have to register with an adoption charity and go meetings with others that's the first step but we're not going to start till after we have finished with the fertility treatment I have three months left of Clomid and then start IVF so if Clomid doesn't work whilst going through IVF we will start adoption process xx I hope you get your happy ending no matter what xx

 

[dogmommy]

Hey so glad to see this thread still up and running. I just got a positive opk a couple hours ago! I'm excited since I didn't get to take the clomid this time. I'm thinking O will be tomorrow so the TWW will start!
Angela we are just about a day apart! Here's praying for December babies!

We talked in detail this weekend we will do two rounds of clomid and then if need be two cycles IVF and if no luck we are going to look into surrogacy. The expense will be outrageous but we are hoping to find someone to be the surrogate to cut down on some of the cost.

Red rose what's a smear test for?

Ashley how are you doing? I have my fingers crossed for you!!

 

[krissie328]

So many ladies are ovulating!! Fx you get your bfp!!

I ovulated on my own this cycle!! Even though we aren't actively trying I was still charting and I managed to ovulate on cd 12!! I am now 7 dpo with af expected on Sunday. So as long as she comes I will know for sure. There is no chance I am pregnant as we hadn't dtd since before my period. But it is so exciting to think maybe my low carb diet will be what I need to get pregnant naturally.

I think we will ttc on our own if I ovulate again in April. Probably until early September and if we don't get pregnant try clomid again. Plus it gives me long to work on losing weight and getting as healthy as possible. But if it does happen naturally all the better!

 

[AngelaALA]

Dogmommy that's great we can wait together I'm going to O either today or tomorrow just waiting for temps to confirm plus follicle tracking on Thurs will tell me too ooohhh we'll be testing around the same time FX for you xx

Krissie that's fantastic news that you Od on your own amazing I hope you get lucky FX for you and congratulations on the weight loss xx

 

[RedRose19]

Dogmommy I think a smear test in usa is called pap test? Where they check the cervix? They do them routinely at 25 onwards, I turned 25 in Jan so I got offered my first free one, only just booked it last week

 

[dogmommy]

Krissie that is fantastic news!! Keep up the good work.

Angela keep me posted on your temps. I'm pretty sure O day is today. I had some cramps on the left side this morning. Definitely not as strong as last month but fingers crossed!

Red rose oh yeah a PAP. I've had that done every year since I was 18. They are very quick!

I have to update Sig bc now I'm 31 it was such a bummer this year. I thought I would pregnant for sure by now. But gotta keep my hopes up!

 

[AngelaALA]

Dogmommy I'm 33 soon and know how you feel if I knew it was going to be this hard getting pregnant I would of tried in my twenties with Dh I think I'm going to O aswell today aswell I've been getting a full feeling and some pains in both sides but at different times but like you Dogmommy there not as strong as last month nowhere near as severe xx FX you O dogmommy looks like we may O on same day me and DH have 2-3 more days of BDing till we will have a break xx

 

[krissie328]

I turned 30 yesterday. I really thought I would be done having kiddos by now. I definitely want to be done by 32 so I'm certian we will only have 2. Dh really wants 3 but I just don't see that happening. I just don't want three.

 

[AngelaALA]

At the mo I would just be grateful and thankful for one I always said I wanted atleast three but I don't think that is going to happen now at my age I'll be happy with the one xx

 

[krissie328]

I'd be happy with my one but dh is insistent we try for 2. We've decided if it doesn't happen in a couple years we won't continue with trying. But for now we will.

 

[AngelaALA]

I think I maybe out already AFM I'm CD15 a little worried as my temps aren't going up which they should be by now so I don't think I'm going to O this month but we shall see I have my follicle tracking on Thursday so I'm going to stay hopeful till this xx

 

[RedRose19]

I want three children as well I'm glad and greatful for my son, but I don't want him to be alone. But I'll be happy with least one more if a third doesn't happen I won't be unhappy

 

[krissie328]

Angela- I ovulated cd 18 on my last cycle of clomid. So it is definitely possible to ovulate later. Have you done opks?

Afm, af decided to show up yesterday. I am very very confused by my cycle this month. If I go when ff said I o'd then I only had a 7 day lp. Which doesn't make since. I have a pretty faithful 12 day lp. But if I take out one temp which was very low it moves my o date to cd 8 and gives me an 11 day lp. Which makes more sense. I was sick this cycle so that definitely messed up my temps with mouth breathing and I think a slight fever.

So hopefully this cycle I will get good temps and see if I ovulate. If I do then we will probably wait one more cycle (if they continue to be short) and start trying without clomid in May.

I am pretty sure it is my low carb diet and weightloss. So hopefully I can keep it up. I had four cheater days between my bday and Easter. But I am not two days strong with back on track!!

 

[dogmommy]

Wow how cool so many birthdays close together!

Angela maybe you need a trigger shot? Hopefully you get all your answers tomorrow.

Krissie I know sickness can definitely mess with temps and even hormones. I know the flu one time definitely lengthened my cycle.

I want three but we will see if we will have at least one. At first the idea of twins freaked me out but now I'm secretly hoping that we get twins!
