Sticking Together Until We All Get BFP's!!!!

[Jrepp]

Hi new ladies! Good luck on your journies.

Mary - I'm glad you are back to actively trying. Not trying is not fun!

Kenna - how goes it with you?

Megan??

They discharged me from the hospital yesterday way too early. My heart is still acting funny and im still in a lot if pain. It can only get better I hope.

 

[Megamegan]

Ugh Jess I'm sorry you have to deal with that crap. Hospitals/insurance sucks.

Mary YAY for ttc again!! Hope those enzymes are doing the trick for you and will help your next HSG be successful if it is still needed

I'm still doing good, just mild cramping, super hungry, wetness/creamy CM, and some lower back pain especially in morning. I took another test at 12 dpo yesterday, and it was much darker than 10 dpo. So I think all is well with this pregnancy and I'll feel amazing 1. after I pass AF due date tomorrow and 2. when I get my first scan at around 8 weeks. I convinced the OB nurse to let me get an early scan so we can hear the heartbeat and be assured that everything is okay.

I'm mainly quiet on here because I'm reading and hoping for your BFPs

 

[Jrepp]

I think I might be unexpectedly in the tww. I had those positive opk's on Tuesday and cramping before surgery on Wednesday. After entering in my temps of has me at 3dpo. We were able to do it twice Saturday, once Sunday, and once on Tuesday afternoon. I'm kind of hoping that some male sperm were up there when the eggy popped (team boy). Guess we shall see in about 12 days

FX Jess!!!!

Megan, gorgeous test!!!!!

AFM, I indulged in some drinks this evening, DH wants to have some silly fun BD tonight! I figured since it's still early we are good to have that kind of fun

Hi ladies! I am new to B&B and I thought I would share my story with you! I'm just gonna copy and paste from my introduction so I don't have to type it all again lol

Hello everyone,
I am new to B&B and thought I would share my story and let everyone know a little bit about me! I am 24, husband is 26. We have been TTC for 2 1/2 years now. I am a proud army wife last year in august I unexpectedly found out that I was pregnant. I was in shock because I didn't think for some reason that it would happen so easily (I've had troubles with my periods since high school) and being so active in sports I hardly had an AF. (I'm not over weight and do not have pcos) But for the first time ever in my life my periods became regular for 2 straight years! (Miracle!) and I was so happy to be pregnant! Having military's insurance is a blessing, but can be complicated; so by the time I had my first ultrasound I was 14 weeks! I just didn't feel like I was growing and I knew something was up! The technician put my little bean on the monitor and I didn't see the little flicker of a heartbeat. My sweet baby had passed away and was only measuring 8 weeks after everything was said and done, I knew I wanted to get right back in the saddle and try again! So here I am now still waiting on a little miracle to come into our lives. I recently had an ultrasound and blood work done and we discovered that I haven't been ovulating, but there are no cysts and doc says everything is good to give Chlomid a go! I am very excited to try this medicine and I hope it works! I've never been so nervous and excited for AF to show! I'm trying to stay calm so I don't delay her from coming but it's so hard!! Thanks everyone for reading my story!! I'm here if any of you need support or have went through anything that I have! Maybe I can find a first time Chlomid partner and we can do this together!!

welcome! I hope the clomid works wonders for u! It certainly helped Kenna have a good O when she took it!

I'm Mary btw. A little background...ive been ttc for a total of 2 yrs, u was NTNP for about a year and ive been actively trying (temping & opks & such) for 14 cycles now. Unfortunately, I found out my only tube is blocked on 3/31/14 and I'm now taking natural enzymes to try and clear up scar tissue and I just found some herbs ill be starting asap as well. FX 2014 brings lots of baby dust to all of us!

& I am so sorry for your loss. Its such a horrible thing. I wish you all the best with the clomid! Very exciting!

Thanks so much! Im so excited to get started! I noticed that on my blood work I was low in vitamin D. Doc said nothing about it but on further research on my part, I discovered low vitamin D can cause infertility and o problems! So I've decided to put myself on vitamin D supplements! Hopefully it will help baby dust to you!!!

vitamin D is definitely important! I think that's a very good choice on your part. The sun can help with ur vitamin D as well . Do you take prenatal vitamins? If not, its good to start taking those while ttc for better egg/overall health . I love the prenatal gummies, yum. Lol. FX June will be a lucky month for all of us!

Yep! I am taking a prenatal, I think I'm going to get the gummies! I always pass them up at the store and they look so good lol. I hope this is the month!!!

 

[mdscpa]

That's an awesome lines Megan

FX to you Jess....

AFM, scheduled to have a follies scan this morning. But I don't know if i can go. I'm feeling sick again. Last night I was already ok. Had a very good sleep and then woke up feeling like this again. I will try to go for the scan and have me checked as well if i got some disease or what..... I hope it's just because of clomid....

 

[Wishing1010]

Clomid made me feel horrible, and I was only on a 25mg dose. Supposedly, the side effects start to disappear after a couple of months of taking clomid. I am willing to take it again because it gave me a strong ovulation at an earlier time (CD 16 or 17 I believe). I'm sorry you are feeling unwell but it is quite possibly the clomid. Have you been taking the clomid in the morning or at night?

 

[Wishing1010]

Woo, I'm on the double digit cycle days now! I think I'm going to hold out on BD for a few days, then go at least every other day until CD 20.

 

[mdscpa]

Have you been taking the clomid in the morning or at night?

Have been taking 2 (50 mg) pills in the morning and another 2 in the evening after meals as prescribed by the doctor. I went to the hospital today for my scheduled CD9 scan, and it's not good. The measures were not quite enough as they expected it should be around this cycle day. So doc told me to continue the clomid for another 3 days. Maybe clomid gonna make me O a little late this cycle with today's scan result. I stayed few more hours there coz i got hypotension that's why im feeling so sick since yesterday. They have to inject me some fluids. Been checking the internet if clomid might trigger this....

 

[Wishing1010]

Oh no, I'm sorry Hun. I hope you feel better soon. Definitely not how you wanted the scan to go today but I hope all ends up well for you and you feel so much better soon! And wow, that's a lot of pills! I only had to take half a pill before bed.

 

[mdscpa]

Oh no, I'm sorry Hun. I hope you feel better soon. Definitely not how you wanted the scan to go today but I hope all ends up well for you and you feel so much better soon! And wow, that's a lot of pills! I only had to take half a pill before bed.

I'm feeling better now. I really don't know why she gave me that huge dose. When i was in Philippines i'm on the same dose but one pill day. This time it's 100mg morning and evening that's 200mg. She told me to continue the pill for 3 more days to see how it goes in the next few days. Here's the result of today's scan:

Right - 10 x 9mm
Left - 11 x 8mm
Lining - 8mm

I'm not sure why she's not satisfied with the sizes though im only on CD9. If they grow by 2mm a day I'll already have 19mm and 18mm on CD14 so i think that's a good size at this point. Anyways, she's looking for size 18-22mm then she'll give me a trigger shot. So hopefully my next scan will show they are growing......

I wish u all the luck at ur next scan! I have read that they want the follies to he 18-22mm because that's when an eggy is good to go for pregnancy. As u said, I'm sure they will grow in the next couple/few days so FX for the trigger shot next scan!

FX! I soo hope u get ur bfp!!

And we are team boy as well . Well just like u guys, we'll be happy boy or girl but if we can try and choose, we'd choose a boy. Aiden wants us to have a girl though. I guess hes against us on team pink! Lol

Hi Mary, it's been a long time since i heard from you, lol....... I'm just hoping they do grow on my next scan.... Temps now are looking good for the last 4 days and with today's scan at least I know i haven't ovulated yet. Good thing my doc gives me close monitoring even though it's our first time with her. I just don't understand why i have to continue the medicine for 3 more days. I always see on the internet that it's always taken for 5 days. Anyhow, maybe she thinks it will help 2 eggs grow more before she triggered them.....

Yep! I am taking a prenatal, I think I'm going to get the gummies! I always pass them up at the store and they look so good lol. I hope this is the month!!!

Be careful when taking the gummies. You have to take 2 gummies instead of one pill and the nutrients aren't as strong. I switched from the gummy prentals to the Nature Made prenatals and felt. Huge difference. Right now I'm giving these whole foods prenatals a try. I got them from my hubby's health insurance program.

I think I might be unexpectedly in the tww. I had those positive opk's on Tuesday and cramping before surgery on Wednesday. After entering in my temps of has me at 3dpo. We were able to do it twice Saturday, once Sunday, and once on Tuesday afternoon. I'm kind of hoping that some male sperm were up there when the eggy popped (team boy).

I definitely want a boy first. My sil thinks that there won't be any girls in the family but I think there will be (mine). My hubby just wants a healthy baby and mommy lol.

After entering today's temp, ff and count down to pregnancy has me oing on Thursday instead of Wednesday like ovufriend. I'm getting kind of excited!

On another note, I had a dream last night about writing an ebook on fertility. I think I'm going to give it a shot lol. Just write down what I know about the baby making process.

 

[Megamegan]

I second Jess on the gummy prenatals thing. I **highly** recommend New Chapter Perfect Prenatals, purchase at a discount online or find at GNC. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm also taking New Chapter WholeMega Fish Oil. This stuff is really well made and absorbed by your body properly because it is made from whole food. The gummy prenatals have Vitamin A derived from animals which is NOT recommended in pregnancy. Atleast the ones I was taking did. So just keep an eye out for that. You want the Vitamin A derived from beta-carotene.

Daphne I hope you feel better soon. If you don't get preg this cycle (which I think you will), maybe ask for a second opinion on the Clomid. Sounds like a huge dosage but I don't know much about it. Good luck

 

[Jennuuh]

My RE said they only grow by 2mm a day when they get to 12mm. Until then, they grow by 1mm a day. That might be why she has you on more mg of clomid. I thought the highest you could go was to 200mg and that was only if you had PCOS. It's cool to see what other women's doctors prescribe! Good luck this cycle!

Welcome back to actively trying Mary! Hoping your enzymes are doing the trick!

Great lines Megan! You must be so excited

Jess, I hope your pain is being managed and I hope you caught your egg! Fingers crossed!

Kenna, have a few drinks! Let loose!

Sorry if I missed anyone!

 

[mdscpa]

The first time she told me about clomid she said she wanted me to have more than one follies maturing before O or trigger shot that way i have more chance of releasing one. I read that too that the highest dosage is at 200mg. Im on 200mg per day, 2pills (50mg morning) and the same in the evening. She learned also that I have PCOS history that was diagnosed years ago and she thought so last cycle based on my US maybe that's why she put me at this dose. The only odd thing is she wanted me to continue for 3 more days. i only heard of taking it 5days in each cycle and not more than that. Still i went to their pharmacy and the pharmacist told me that what I'm taking is a huge dose and maybe that's why i got hypotension. Anyways, at least i feel better now.

Back in Philippines, i took 50mg a day for 5 days, and always release 2 eggs... So i know 50mg is enough... Well, maybe my body is reacting differently now. We will see on my next scan how the follies are growing. I hope the two of them will,

 

[froggyfrog]

Daphne I take letrozole which is the generic of femara. I have been on it for now 7 cycles and have triggered one and two follies. Its just a surprise when I go in for a scan of how many follies I would have. The largest one I triggered was 24 and the smallest was 18. I agree with what jess said about the second opinion. That seems like a lot of clomid!! If im not mistaken too much can cause hyperstimulation

 

[Jrepp]

Yes, too much can hypersrimulate the ovaries causing too many follicles to develop and release immauture eggs.
