TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[runnergrl]

Happy - your chart looks great! Really have my fingers crossed for you!

Mama - sounds like a sensible idea - plus you might be one of these people that gets pregnant the month after clomid! I hope so!

Banana - sounds like a lovely weekend! And you are well covered lol! Good for you! I don't have the energy to DTD twice a week let alone twice in one day!

Not long left now - I'm mentally adding a week to my ticker as I know I ovulated later and so really due date is 16th rather than 9th but have the 9th as that's what the hospital are going by. In quite a bit of pain now - back, hips and pelvis. Really trying to just get on with things though as its my last few weeks alone with Annabelle and I want to enjoy our time together for both of our sakes. It's hard though being in pain and doing everything we have been doing. Doing my best though!

Good luck!!! I had my son at 38 weeks hopefully its sooner rather than later for you so you are not in pain, but you want that baby fully cooked!

Thanks girls. I'm pretty sure I'll be another 3-4 weeks. Unfortunately my back is much worse and they've decided that I've slipped a couple of discs in the lower back. I'm all strapped up which actually feels a bit better but its not good at the same time especially with a toddler to look after! It also will make a natural birth a tad more challenging but I'm not giving up on that! Just annoying to get to this stage and it go a bit wrong.
Will keep you updated though

Runnergrl and Elt - hope you are both doing well and pregnancy coming along nicely!

Happy - your chart is looking quite promising, keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Banana - I think its 0.5 degrees warmer or more in celsius - if you go on FF you can convert charts to see what they look like in celsius. I remember that the celsius differences were definitely less big than Farenheight. FX!!

Mama - hope you are enjoying a natural cycle

 

[banana07]

So excited for you Hann - fx crossed it all goes ok in the end for you x

I checked out other celcius charts on ff and its does seem that its only a .5 degree that makes it or thereabouts. Thats not alot to play around with is it! So don't think I have Ov'd yet pains were pretty bad today a heavy kind of a feeling but they have gone now. Planned to BD as please god today or tomorrow is Ov day on CD18 now but ended up with visitors and now DH is gone on night shift so won't see him until tomorrow night - fx its not to late. Such a shame to think all the BD we did over the last 10days was pointless, well not pointless it was great but you know what I mean, we put alot of effort in this month, more than usual and it could all have been for nothing - I know i prob wouldn't get preg first month on clomid anyway but would have been nice to think we had a shot - getting so so p*ssed of with this. Have I ever bloody ovulated

 

[Hann12]

All is not lost - remember they stay active for up to 6 days in you so it can still happen. It seems that clomid gets a reasonable success rate first time too so you never know!

 

[HappyCpl]

Hann , I'm sorry you're having troubles. But I'm glad they were able to get you some relief. I hope you're able to have the delivery that you are hoping for.

Banana- I understand your frustrations. I'm right there with ya. I hope OV happens soon for you. Looking at your temps it could be soon. And Hann is right, those swimmers can hang in there

AFM - Lots of cramping today and nausea. Got a good whif of some eggs and thought I was going to vomit. Hoping that's a good thing. Bbs are still very sore and I feel so weepy. Could just be PMS though. BFN this morning so that could be the weeping as part of it. I know it's early, but just feeling down about the whole TTC journey. This is cycle #17 for us. DD has been questioning where babies come from? How do they get in mummy's tummy? How do they get out? When will there be a baby in mommy's tummy? She is 4. Bless her, she is so sweet. I just tell her we have to keep praying and hopefully God will put her a baby brother or sister (or both) in there someday. It's so hard to stay strong and not cry in front of her. She doesn't know the struggles we are going through as she is too young and I don't want to confuse her. Her father is getting married in a few months and she has been asking him and her soon to be step mom for a baby sister.

I'm sorry for the rant. I just had to get some things off my chest.

 

[banana07]

Hmmm, no temp rise this morning CD19 now have to get my day21 bloods done tomorrow (as day21 is Saturday). She said if my progesterone levels don't rise she'll double my clomid dose.

Happy - Frustration is an understatement. Least we are in it together. It is hard when people are constantly asking when are you going to have another one and you better get a move on etc... but esp when DS asks its heartbreaking the amount of times he cried because he is the only one in his class without a baby brother or sister and that he has noone to play with.

 

[HappyCpl]

Banana - I'm sorry you haven't ov'd yet. But I'm hoping they figure out what's going on with you soon.

DD has a friend in her class who is having a baby sister this summer. She keeps telling me that she wants one this summer too. It's hard to make her understand that even if God put a baby there now, it wouldn't be born until sometime around or after Christmas.

I'm at my wits end. I don't know what else to do. The dr wants me to try the Clomid for three months before coming back. I don't know if I can do this another 2 months...

 

[runnergrl]

I wish i had some encouraging words to say to the both of you, Happy and banana, but I am at a loss. I am so surprised that both of you have children and arent pregnant again yet. I will continue to pray for your future child(ren) and for right now, all I can offer is those prayers and virtual

 

[banana07]

Just viewed my chart in faherinheight and my lowest temp was 97.0 and highest is 97.70 (.70degree difference) (today). In celcius lowest is 36.1 and highest is 36.50 (.40degree difference). So I'm nearly at the 1 degree rise for the Faherinheight and the .50 for the celcius. Maybe just maybe I'm ov late if it jumps just a wee tiny bit tomorrow and stays it will indicate Ov but its very late and it means my bloods tomorrow are probably pointless.

I spoke to my sister and she thinks the same I should put off the tube dye test until I have a straight 3 month run of the clomid. So I think that is the plan.

 

[Hann12]

I agree with runnergrl its really tough because your bodies have done it before so you would hope they could do it again pretty easily, its very unfair
Happy - I still think your chart looks good and clearly you have ovulated.

Banana - slow temperature rises are common so hang in there, really hope thats whats happening

 

[IsaacRalph]

Banana looking at your chart it looks as though you could've ovulated on cd 18 especially with the pains and ewcm! Hoping to see more of a rise tomoz. Much luck! X

 

[banana07]

Thanks girls. I'm still not sure about ov the ewcm was very very very little but I've always had very little if any at all. Using preseed again this month. Pains are hormones are wild today. Could barely stand up at one stage they were so bad really really lower pains and sever bloating. Fx for a temp rise in the morning was just about to reach for a glass of wine but then remembered it can affect temp don't want to get a false increase!

 

[banana07]

How are you issac I nearly forgot to ask. Do get a bit wrapped up in myself at certain times of the month and in times of confusion!!!

 

[banana07]

Oh how frustrating if I discard yesterdays temp I get crosshairs. Bad news is I have no reason to discard them! Will leave it and see what tomorrow brings but it was so exciting seeing the red lines! Ah well!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Hey ladies!

Hann - I can't believe how close you are!!! It's so crazy for me having all you girls have your babies when I remember you showing off the bfp!!! Seems like time is just flying! Remember to give us another bump photo before it goes away!

Runner and Elt - how are your little beans coming along?

Isaac - how are things for you?

Banana - I'm there with ya honey! So frustrating waiting and waiting to ov. It sucks! Hang in there. What dose of clomid are you? If its the lowest dose you may need to go higher. Many people don't ov at 50 mg and need to go higher. I ovulated on 50 only one month an my progesterone levels were really low. Not a good strong ov at all. Are they doing 21 day bloods?? Also I don't ov on clomid till around cd 20. It can actually take up to 3 weeks from your last days dose to work so give it time. Are you opking at all?? I agree to give the clomid 3 months. But do talk to doc about upping the dose if it doesn't work this cycle.

Happy - I know how that goes with kiddos wanting a baby. My stepdaughters are 7, 14 an 18 and all 3 want me to have a baby! Their mom actually had a baby a year ago and I remember feeling so annoyed at the time because I worried the girls would lose the baby enthusiasm when they already had one but if anything it just fueled them on! Our 7 yr old tells me all the time she wants a baby at both houses! Haha
Their mom hasn't wanted more kids and got prego with her bf who'd had a vasectomy! Talk about annoying!!!! She must be crazy fertile! DH tells me he has 3 kid so his swimmers must be fine but I'm like, uh your ex just had a vesectomy baby! We may have to check u!!! Lol

Afm - same old same old. AF has left the building so now it's just a waiting game to see what my body does.

 

[banana07]

Hi Mama - Yeah they are doing day 21 bloods (well day 20!) bloods tomorrow morning. I'm not expecting anything to come out of them well since ff says I haven't even Ov'd yet! I suppose last months cycle was something very long for me like 33 - 35 days? Maybe I'm back to Ov late again? That yesterdays temp is just so annoying, I know i'm clutching at straws but maybe I just took the temp wrong oh what am I saying I know i didn't!!! Grrrr.....

Not using OPKs as doc said not to (I'm not allowed think about ttc she used the dirty "R" word (Relax) - worst word in the word to use to a ttc'er!!!

On 50mg of clomid this first cycle have to ring her next week with my day21 bloods and if the levels aren't good enough she will double my dose to 100mg. She gave me enough prepscription not to have to go back to her even if I have to double it.

 

[banana07]

Omg I'm gone daft on ff tonight!! So when ahead in the dates, if my temp stays the same or goes up next 2 days they will give me solid crosshairs pinpointing ov between days 17 - 18 depending what I put in. We last Bd on cd16 in the am - praying it was enough.

Would like to do it now just in case but I am in so so so much pain - its never been this bad before feel like my cervix is about to fall out - do you think its a sideeffect of the clomid??


Please cross your fingers it at least stays the same next 2 days!!!

 

[HappyCpl]

Banana I'm gonna go on a whim and say you're about to OV. I felt the exact same way for 2 days prior to my OV this cycle. I know you're in pain, but you should probably BD just in case. It'll take your mind off of the pain for a min. I know how you feel Hun.

I had a total melt down earlier. Feeling a little better. Just ready for this mood to pass.

Mama - that is so funny about your DH's ex. Frustrating yes. But preggo with those conditions?? That's crazy!! A friend if mine, her husband was snipped. I joke with he she'll end up preggo again. Her husband gives me the stink eye. Lol

Runner-Don't you live in Texas? I saw on the news about the plant explosion. I know it's a big state, but I hope that wasnt near you or your family. Praying for those families affected.

 

[runnergrl]

yes I do live in texas and have been to that town many many times. I dont live close to there any more, but once i did. Thank you for your thoughts and the people of West need your prayers!

 

[elt1013]

Sorry I haven't been on much...this pregnancy is treating me about as awfully as the first! I'm miserably sick 24/7 and nothing including nausea meds and IV fluids is helping!
I just wanted to let you all know that I may not respond, but I am still following and keeping my fx for all of you.
