Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[brandi91]

Good luck, Dogmommy!!!

After a lot of thought and prayer, hubby and I have decided to pursue adoption. We feel like we could probably raise the funds and we ultimately feel better putting our money towards that opposed to IVF as we would hope that it would give us better results. We filled out an online application, and were accepted today. Now we have to schedule a phone conference to talk about our options and plans. We got approved today, and it seems fitting that it would be on our 3rd wedding anniversary.

We are excited. We aren't giving up on having a biological child. We are just ready to try something else. Albeit we have the option of injections before moving to IVF, we aren't sure if we are prepared to deal with the disappointment of it failing yet again.

I'll continue to let you all know how things progress.

Happy anniversary Brandi. I think adoption is such a lovely option. I've talked with DHs aunt who had a bio child and then adopted. It made me really think in the future we could do that. I hope it's an easy process for you.

Hey guys sorry Ive been MIA it's been a crazy time lately and I needed a big break from all the TTC stuff I haven't been back to do anymore IVF yet as I need time off it all and Im focusing on getting healthy and fit we are looking at going back to do the other cycles at the end of this year so nothing to really report at the mo xx

Dogmommy Im following your journal goodluck I hope this FET is the one for you xx

Brandi thats amazing news so made up for you Ive been looking into adoption alot we've already decided that if these 2 goes of IVF dont work then adoption will be what we go for next xx

 

[RedRose19]

nice to hear from you angela, i think sometimes you do need breaks from ttc! hope your ok xx

 

[dogmommy]

Thanks ladies! 6 days away....lining check tomorrow!

Brandi that's great you have already started the process! I can't wait to hear about your journey.

Angela I understand, I've needed breaks too. We will be here to cheer you on when you are ready.

Transfer went well today! Thawed both frozen embryos we had left and both thawed nicely and we transferred both. Beta is scheduled on the 19th. Going to try not to test too early but not sure if I'll last!

 

[krissie328]

Everything is crossed for you dogmommy!

So..... I got a bfp yesterday. We weren't even trying but I did know when I ovulated cause my sex drive went through the roof so I did a few opks. After so many failed medicated cycles I cannot believe it. Im wondering if the birth control really was what my body needed to reset. Now this little bean just needs to hold on for the next 8 months.

 

[dogmommy]

Krissie that's amazing!!!! I'm over the moon for you!!

 

[AngelaALA]

Krissie thats so amazing got absolutely everything crossed that these next 8 wks fly by smoothly so over the moin for you miracles do happen xx

Dogmommy I really hope you get that BFP how are you feeling xx

 

[RedRose19]

Dogmommy I've got everything crossed for you!! I hope least one if not both beans snuggle in tight!

Congratulations krissie ! That's great news!

As for me we are actively ttc this cycle !! I feel abit nuts.. but I feel good my boys are happy healthy and my cycles are very regular I feel I've got this short window where my cycles are behaving since having Matthew.. I feel like I'd be a fool not to jump on those opportunity.. I will be exhausted it will be hard to have 2 under 2.. plus Jamie but I feel like it's now or never so .. I got my period this morning and afternoon a cry and telling David I was sad he said let's just do it! So I've my opks and tests and pre seed ordered!!

 

[dogmommy]

Hey everyone! I meant to get on here and do an update the other day and didn't get the time. I did get a Bfp on Monday but I'm feeling "ok" I say that bc other than some mild cramps I feel nothing. Last cycle at 7dp5dt I had sore boobs (veins) and bloating and my heart rate was elevated. Trying to stay positive tho that my little bean(s) are growing!

Krissie do you have an appt yet? How are you feeling?

Angela any updates? Are you going to move forward with a FET. They are so much easier than a fresh.

Red how exciting! Where are you at in your cycle?

Brandi any updates with you?

 

[krissie328]

Congrats dogmommy! You're so early I wouldn't worry about the lack of symptoms. Plus every pregnancy is so different.

When you're ready we have a Feb due date group in the pregnancy groups.

I'm pretty nauseous now and super tired. I have a blood draw today so I'm nervous to see what it says. I'm hoping my progesterone has gone up quite a bit.

 

[RedRose19]

awww i cant believe there is already a due in feb for 2018! it went so fast! when are you due krissie?

wow dogmommy! huge congratulations i hope this is your little rainbow(s)

i am currently cd 7 and my last 3 cycles were 32-35 days long its hard to pinpoint exactly as my periods are so damn light.. like were talking 2 days of spotting, 1 day of heavy bleed, 1 days of spotting and stop.. never had anything like it before!
but each period came around 12-14 days after ovulation signs, ewcm and cramping.. so this cycle now ive got my opks and my pre seed! i feel scared and excited .. the fear is mostly about what people will think but at the end of the day i just have to do whats right for me and my family!

 

[krissie328]

Red- fx your cycles stay relatively consistent. And I agree do what's best for you and you're family. At the end of the day it's nobody's business but your own.

Afm, I'm due Valentine's day.

 

[RedRose19]

awww wow your due basically a year exactly after i was! i was due the 14th they changed me to the 13th and he came the 7th lol!!
how are you feeling?

im feeling nervous about ttc already incase it works but also incase it doesnt work... i cant be doing with the stress and upset of another 3 year wait. but id say this time ill go privately to the clinic this time.. its the same clinic ironically just you get seen quicker but least it means i can pick when to get seen too

 

[krissie328]

Red- it's definitely scary to think about getting pregnant so soon, but it will also be good if you do have to go back to have a head start.

I'm feeling okay. I'm very tired and the nausea is definitely ramping up. I'm also super bloated. I've never dealt with that before so it's a new and uncomfortable experience.

I got my blood work back today and my progesterone looks good and my hcg is doubling every 42.5 hours. I have my first ultrasound and prenatal appt July 5th. Which was my son's due date.

 

[sarah2211]

Congratulations Krissie! I'm so excited for you! When I first came off the pill my cycles were really regular, so it definitely could have been the pill

 

[AngelaALA]

Dogmommy congratulations I am so happy for you I have everything crossed that they stick dont worry about symptons they mean nothing at this early stage so it doesnt matter if your getting none xx keep us updated xx

Red goodluck and who cares what people think do what is best for you no time is the right time to have children something will always get in the way so if you feel ready to do it again then do it xx

Krissie goodluck with your bloods everything crossed for high numbers xx

Sarah how is the pregnancy going xx

ATM still not going back to IVF yet but doing really well with my fitness lost nearly a stone now so Im hoping that will help at we are not preventing so hopefully with the fitness we may get a surprise who knows we have a holiday booked in September so once back we will call the hospital and begin IVF again xx

 

[krissie328]

Good to hear from you Angela. Fx you guys get a surprise. At least Sept isn't too far off.

How are you doing dogmommy?

Afm, things are going okay. So far it seems things are fine with the pregnancy. I have my first ultrasound on July 5th.

 

[dogmommy]

Angela great work on the weight loss! I really hope you get your natural BFP hun. A holiday sounds like a great idea before getting back into ivf.

Krissie I'm glad you are feeling well. Just over a week now till your appt!

Red I understand your fears but I feel like it's better to start Ttc whenever you are ready bc we just don't know how long it will take for Bfp. And if people are going to talk let them and let it just roll off bc it's your life not theirs.

AFM I'm still feeling ok. Getting anxious for my scan on Wednesday.
