Good Morning Everybody!

@Hopin: I am so sorry and can 100% relate to your feelings. It hasn't been that long yet and of course you are still hurting but I bet the having sex again marks a big step in the healing process.

I started crying when DH and I had Sex again the first time after the MC. Just the thought of this act having created the last pregnancy and then having lost it got me to cry

I am not seeing the Dr until Friday...because they want to do it weekly. I hope next time I am down from an 8 to under 5 or even better way higher than 8. Who knows....

We are not using contraception as my cycles are so irregular due to PCOS that I never really ovulate on my own anyway but who know maybe I did a couple of days ago when I thought I did....we will see!

We are for some of us in the 2 ww. Any symptoms?

Hopin- I'm so sorry sweetie, I can imagine how hard those moments can be but yay for the fantastic nd session!
Jenna- little Draven is so handsome I just love him! Thanks for sharing!

Lei- so happy your feeling better, one day at a time sunshine!

Luna- WELCOME! HUGS!

Everyone else- I hope you're having a wonderful week!

Well afm......... it's so hard to come on here without my computer working, sorry ladies I do love you all even though my posts are sometimes far apart. Soooo we got 31 inches of snow the other day HOLY MOLEY it was a lot! I have a big question for you ladies, last night OH and I were getting busy with it and he pulled out and there was blood all over him. Hmmmm it was very bizzarre and even alittle brown came out too which is old blood, right? He did shave right before so we were trying to see if he had cut himself but couldn't find anywhere. I checked and it was inside of me to so it had to have come from me and it wasn't a little bit, probably a table spoons worth. The brown stuff really thew me off could it be implantation if I'm only 6 days past iui? It seems early to me. I took a warm bath and then bd would that make me bleed from implantation? I'm very confused!

Momof1 - I did some quick research online and it seems to say that it can be normal to have some bleeding after an IUI.

Thanks for the welcome ladies I'll need some time to learn all your stories but it seems like you've all been through a lot together

I posted in here yesterday after spending way too much time googling how clomid doesn't really work for people who already o (which I know isn't necessarily true!) I am just so worried it's never going to happen for us :/ anyways I actually keep going back a forth between being really excited and hopeful to thinking it's not going to work. Not having any follie tracking this cycle, just day 21 blood.

Try to keep the faith - reading a lot of what is on the internet can be discouraging. I can tell you that I believe I ovulated on my own but only some months and not others or else some months it just wasn't strong at all. It's my understanding that Clomid and Femara promote ovulation but also a STRONGER ovulation based on what dosage they give you. Which would give you a MUCH better chance at conceiving. It DID work for me. I also know that Clomida has helped others get a BFP on this forum as well. If you want to read my TTC story, it is on the first page of my journal (link at the bottom of this post).

I think it is normal to feel really excited and then really discouraged. We have all been there. It's a long road. Just keep your hope because you never know what is around that next curve inthe road.

Allika thanks, I know that you know exactly how I'm feeling and BOOOOOOO!! I don't want to wait until Friday for your appointment. NO FAIR.

Grateful you are so sweet, I wish I could hug you right now! I know the 3 of us had a really special time together in December when we all got our BFP's, and I want you to know how EXCITED I am that yours was sticky. I can't wait for your u/s to confirm it's a girl and then you can tell us what you're naming her Seriously though, do you have names picked out?

momof1 That's very odd. Too early for AF for sure. Unfortunately I don't know much about IUI but I did look into it online a little and I did find this Q&A page with this question posted:

Q: How long after IUI should implantation occur?

A: Implantation generally takes place 6-12 days after ovulation — so 6-12 days after a well-timed IUI.

So it's very possible that it was IB, right? How are you feeling today? Are you temping? SO many questions!

Luna Don't feel lost hun. I know exactly where you are right now! Actually our stories are quite similar. I have unexplained infertility, which is what I think they tell every woman who can't get pregnant within a year and doesn't have PCOS, or a thyroid issue, or something else specific. My doctor said that I COULD Have PCOS, but it's not clear enough to diagnose. Anywho I started TTC in Feb 2012 and went on my first round of Clomid in Nov 2012 - and I got my bfp after the first round!! Unfortunately it wasn't a sticky one, but it DID work, and if it sets your mind at ease I do plan to use Clomid again this month when AF shows. Are you on 50mg? Do you have a date for your CD21 bloodwork? Do you have a test date? Sorry for the 20 questions but I added you to the front page and all I really had to say was that you are on Clomid so I wanted to plug some dates in there for you

 

[KCwantsbaby]

I would love to join!!!

I am on my second round of Clomid, day 2-6 on 100mg.I am on CD11 and I am waiting to O and hope to be testing around Feb 26th.

My DH and I have been trying for 10 months now and would love a BFP in 2013!!!

Baby dust to everyone

Hey ladies! Welcome to all the newbies!! So happy to have you join us!

Well I spent most of my weekend in the FS office. I went on Saturday to confirm hat the follicles had collapsed after ovulation. The ultrasound showed that they were still there and bigger than ever. The nurse told me to go ahead and start progesterone supps but I knew that I wasn't right. I emailed the dr and I was right, the dr told me o come back Sunday and do not start the progesterone supps. I went back yesterday. They were even bigger. The dr checked my progesterone and it was 7 (it needed to be above 1 to confirm ovulation). They said that sometimes this happens and goes away during the menstural cycle. If they don't go away they will be cysts and it may force a break from TTC until they go away. Ugh. It was such a stressful experience that it literally consumed me for the weekend.

Hope everyone had a better weekend than I!

Momof1- I've had this happen but not while TTCing. They said t was normal but it freaked me out. They said sometimes leftover blood can be hit a certain way causing it to come out. I'm sorry this happened!!

 

[luna_19]

Thanks for the encouraging words hoping and grateful

You can put me down for day 21 blood on the 23rd and specialist follow up/possible testing on the 28th.

 

[Hopin4ABump]

TypeA My heart hurts for you! I am so sorry you had such a rough weekend. So what is the next step, are you going back in soon to see if they went away?

WELCOME KC You are added to the front page! Will you be using a hpt or are you going to have blood drawn? Thanks for joining us!

 

[Allika]

@ Type A: that sucks I am sorry! I had a cyst after I did my first and only round of chlomid and it sucked! I had to take Birth control for a month for the cyst to shrink and go away because even after I stopped the Progesterone I didnt get my period like I usually do.

I took Birth control and bled the whole time on it because I think the cyst ruptured. I stopped taking birth control, did the first round Femara and got pregnant. In retrospective I think it was good that I did one month on birth control maybe that also helped in getting pregnant.....who knows.

@KC: Welcome Dear! Lots of BD to you!!!!!!

 

[luna_19]

typeA that sounds very frustrating I hope they don't turn into cysts

Hopin I just noticed I missed one of your questions, I'm on 50mg days 3-7

 

[typeA TTC]

Thank you ladies!!! It was bizarre! If I do get prego this round they said they won't do anything, they will just leave it be. If I don't then we will see!! I'll keep everyone updated!

 

[typeA TTC]

Ohh my beta test is on the 20th. I think I said the 19th earlier but that was wrong!

 

[momof1making2]

Hi girlies!
Welcome kc!

Typea- I'm so sorry doll! How many mature follies did you have before, did any drop? Fxed it all turns out well for you!

Hopin- I feel great, no temping here I'm a lazy bones. How are you? Thanks for the helpful info

 

[Beautifullei2]

Hopin - can you put me down for the 29th. AF is due that day & according to my cm im due to O within a couple of days! hopefully we get the OK to BD at my appt tomorrow

 

[typeA TTC]

Momof1- I know I ovulated. And since there are three follicles that filled up with fluid, I think three ovulated. But who knows....we will see!

 

[KCwantsbaby]

TypeA My heart hurts for you! I am so sorry you had such a rough weekend. So what is the next step, are you going back in soon to see if they went away?

WELCOME KC You are added to the front page! Will you be using a hpt or are you going to have blood drawn? Thanks for joining us!

I will just be doing the HTP test and then do a blood test to confirm if positive! I really hope this is our month!!

Baby dust to all

 

[Grateful365]

Welcome KC! Best of luck this month!

Lei - Good luck with your appointment today. I hope you get the OK to BD Let us know how it goes.

I love all the dates on the front page - so much to look forward to. Thank you Hopin for keeping track of all of our important dates.

 

[Hopin4ABump]

Lei Good luck to you today!! Obviously, let us know how it went as soon as you get out

Grateful I'm trying! I am so excited about all of the testing we have coming up in the next couple of weeks. Momof1 is even testing in less than a week! WOOT!

So, I was thinking about it last night,and I've made a decision I'm going to keep it simple for myself the next couple of months. No temping, no opk's, no symptom spotting - none of that. I'm just going to take my Clomid CD 2-5 like I did in November and then BD every other day (or maybe even every day -- oh la la), and then I suppose I'll test 28 days after my period this month! Have I mentioned I really can't wait for AF to show?!?!?! For once I want the here!!!
