TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[AmberR]

Sunnybe- Had some cramping type feeling yesterday near where my left ovary is and had it around the same time last month, maybe that means something? That's all I've got... haha.
Jmack- sorry you are not feeling well, I'm not certain but I wouldn't think it will hurt your chances!

 

[jmack54]

Just checking in on everyone! I've been home sick from work for the past three days with a low grade fever but I feel like I'm turning a corner today yay!!

How are you feeling babylights?

Amber, sunny what's new girls?

 

[babylights]

So glad you're feeling better jmack!! I still have some congestion but otherwise feeling so much better too. When are you testing??

sunny, amber, steph how are you girls?

I had an appointment with my gyn today and we're going to start Clomid next cycle, and I'll be monitored so that's exciting! We have a phone consult with an RE on May 20 so I thought I might as well use the time in between to get a better idea of what's going on in there! My dr. reiterated her recommendation to go to IVF, but she cleared up that it's just for planning for #2, that she's sure I'll be pregnant this year - which DH got so excited about but she said that because of the 80% success rate of ttc within one year lol. Overall it was a positive appointment!

 

[jmack54]

That is all super exciting news babylights!! So happy for you!! I think it's great to stay positive and assume you'll be pregnant within the year- I know you will be!

I think I'll test on Sunday if AF isn't here yet, how about you??

I'm really hoping that being so sick didn't kill any little eggs!

 

[steph1607]

You feeling even better today, Jmack? I know nothing about it but can't imagine that kind of sickness would kill off any eggs - bring on Sunday!!

That's exciting that you'll do a Clomid cycle, Babylights - have you been on Clomid before? Glad to hear that you had a positive appointment

I finished my Norethisterone yesterday, so based on previous cycles AF (or whatever it is that I actually get), should be here on Sunday hopefully and I will start Clomid on CD2. We go on holiday for a week the day after I should have my CD21 blood tests so at least if it's bad news I won't know until I get back! I so hope that I O this time.

 

[jmack54]

Thanks so much Steph. Feeling sooo much better today. Still have a nasty cough lingering but no fever. Nothing like being down and out sick to make you appreciate feeling healthy ya know? Now I just have about 3 more days to see if AF shows and I'm very regular so should know by Sunday! Eek!

I really hope you O this month too! Will this be your first cycle on Clomid? We will all be wishing you luck when you start!! Where are you going on holiday? We don't use that term here but I love it!

 

[steph1607]

Haha am I going on vacation then? We are off to Spain, we know people out there so accommodation is cheap, flights are cheap and it's lovely and hot!

Nope, I've been on Clomid before but with no luck, so this time my dosage has been doubled. So I'm expecting double the side effects unfortunately!

I've never really had a two week wait as such because my cycles are so crazy and I had no AF at all since stopping BC, but I can imagine it feels like a pretty long wait!

 

[jmack54]

That sounds like a perfect vacation Steph! I would love to go to Spain! Where do you live?

Ah well at least you are familiar with Clomid. I hope the side effects are more minimal than you are expecting and that it does the trick! I hope you know the dread of the TWW very soon love!

I am feeling better but not 100%. I actually feel a little nauseous today. It's been almost impossible to symptom spot since I haven't been feeling well, which is probably a good thing!

 

[steph1607]

I really can't wait! We live in Hertfordshire, the county to the North of London. What about you?

Yeah, if it does the trick I'm willing to have as many side effects as it can throw at me.

Oh nausea, isn't it annoying when symptoms could be because you're under the weather, but also symptoms of pregnancy! Every time I feel the slightest bit off I think 'yessss, this is it!!'

 

[jmack54]

Well I woke up to a huge temp plummet. Guess I'm out this month I am feeling so disappointed.

 

[babylights]

Oh no jmack Could it have anything to do with having been sick and the fever leaving?? Sending huge hugs, take it easy today ❤️

 

[steph1607]

Sorry Jmack 😔

Remember though, our bodies do such weird things sometimes, could be another explanation like Babylights says.

 

[SunnyBe]

So sorry girls for being MIA the last couple of days. Work was insane!

Jmack, I really wouldn't trust your temps right now. You're recovering and your body could still be adjusting. I'm keeping everything crossed!!!

Any signs of AF yet Steph? Hopefully you'll get it by Sunday. Were your withdrawal bleedings light when you were still using BCP's?

Excited to hear you'll be monitored babylights! It's great to get a little insight into what is going on with our bodies. Clomid may just do the trick! Now let's hope you won't need any of that and get that BFP in a few days.

 

[steph1607]

Hey Sunny! How's everything with you? Where are you at in your cycle at the moment?

Yeah when I was on the pill, they were pretty light too, but I would have to use tampons for the first couple of days, the ones I've had with these tablets innately need to use anything at all. Maybe this time will be different!

Hope everyone has fun plans for the weekend, only a two day one for me this time 😔

 

[SunnyBe]

Let's hope it'll be a bloody mess this time Although if it's going to be light, I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's only natural that you don't have a thick lining to shed if there hasn't been enough progesterone due to not ovulating. It'll much likely be different once you start to O.

I'm at CD11 today. Probably another week or so before O. I'm a lot more relaxed about everything this cycle because I've been so busy at work. Hope I can keep it that way

 

[steph1607]

Hahahaha great time to be having a mouthful of dinner!

Oh definitely, relaxed is the way forward!

 

[jmack54]

Thanks for all your support girls, but AF is definitely starting today, I already saw some light spotting. Going out for margaritas with my friends tonight to try to cheer me up.

take care everyone keep me posted on whats happening with your cycles in more exciting stages

 

[SunnyBe]

So sorry jmack I hope some Cinco de Mayo margaritas will cheer you up a bit.

Babylights, I guess it's up to you to start the pregnancy streak that we'll all soon be on. No pressure...

 

[babylights]

'ritas with the girls is the best idea jmack! Have an absolute blast tonight!! xx

sunny haha I'm trying my best! I should know on Tuesday what's what...

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

[jmack54]

You girls are the best! Babylights remember our old saying?? I think it's time I follow that!! Hahahaha!!!

I've got all my eggs in the babylights basket to get our BFP train rollin!! SunnyBe we might end up in a similar TWW with my early O this cycle!


I'll have a margarita for all of us tonight!
