Bab- I do see a very faint line but not sure if its shadow ..? Can't wait to see what ur dr says. Are u just going to gyn right now? I thought they had to do sonos before and after each round of clo? Let us know how it goes!

Wishing - sorry about confusing symptoms , I agree u should do blood test

Ready- My aunt (who is a couple of yrs older than me) is pg too ); about three months along and she decided to tell everyone during my grandfathers Xmas party... I am happy for her but I couldn't help but wish I was Able to deliver the same news . Then came the "so when are you guys going to have another?" Ugh! I wanted to cry but I just said "we're trying in March so we can have a Christmas baby" . this has to be our yr ready! Please please Lord! How'd the party go with your family??

Girls. I literally had a dream two weeks before my aunt came out with her news that she was pg and going thru troubles and yelling at her boyfriend...at the Christmas party not only did she tell me she was pg but she told me she was going through a lot of bs with her boyfriend. Then the other night I have a dream that I was looking into an incubator at my son outside and crying holding onto my DH telling me to let it out ); I think this dream came from talking to my bestfriend just before I went to bed. She was crying and telling me that they have to "pull the plug" now or wait for a miracle because her son is doing bad. I pray that's all that dream ment. Before that night I've had nothing but positive very clear dreams of me holding my son and bundling him up. So I'm going to stay positive and trust the lord. Praying that the lord sends me better signs in my dreams );

Wishing- Go get a blood test!

Mrs- All my other tests have been negative so far

Mommy- I have no idea what I am supposed to do next. I called my doctor and left a message this morning and called 3 more times today. No answer. I am getting pretty frustrated.
Other ladies are having 12 day follicle checks and I hadn't had any. I have also heard that I should be getting some sort of scan between rounds but my dr hadn't mentioned anything about that. I'm starting to think she is yet another dr who doesn't give a rats ass about her patients :/
That is awesme that you had the premonitionary dream about your aunt!
I feel terribly for you friend hopefully God will surprise them and heal their baby!!
I agree that your dream was probably due to the bad news from your friend.. I don't think you will have any issues when you conceive again

I also had some baby dreams recently. One was from a few days ago and it was of a baby (mine) grabbing onto my face and trying to kiss but instead mouthing and drooling all over my cheek lol.
The other was last night and it was ofe getting a bfp on an frer. I was super excited and realized that I hadn't planned how I would tell my hubby, so I tried to pull something together. Then my alarm had to snap me back into reality :/ ugh...

I have been feeling pretty ill today. Minor nausea, bad head ache, back ache, cramping off and on, so exhausted I could pass out, emotional etc... I have actually cried a few times today, but I think it is due to frustration mainly.

 

[Mommy_DK]

Bab- Yea the dr I see is pressing me about having to come in before during and after round 1 for blood work and sonos to make sure meds are working properly and to make 100% sure we're not pg before we move on to another round. I really hope you can reach the dr at least by tomorrow to get a plan going. I'm assuming they'd want to do higher dose of clo next (if ur not already on the highest) and or ovidrel. I think it'll drive u crazy trying to symptom spot while on clo , I've been reading how a lot of the side affects are like pg symptoms. But I'm hoping a blood test reveals you are pg! That dream you had, so detailed and real! I want more like that. And thank you for the encouragement about the bad dreams I need all of the positivity I can get *hugs*

Mrs- How's it going? I love the names you and DH picked! Very cute and different but not over the top different, perfect. I can't wait to get my bfp!

 

[BABTTC123]

Sooo... apparently I was scheduled to have a mid cycle progesterone test... My doctor just failed to tell me. They are going to do both an HCG blood and progesterone test tomorrow and then they said that I will probably be put on provera to induce my period if the hcg is negative.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Bab-that is frustrating!! I hate when u r trying to be patient and follow drs orders but then they screw up like this. I sooooo hope that hcg reveals that there is a little bean in there. I know nothing of clomid but ur symptoms sound great.
Mommy-I'm so sorrt for ur friend. I hope a miracle will happen for them. Sorry u had to experience the "when r u having more" questions. Luckily no one said anything to me. I did talk to sil about it and she was supportive. I just hope it happens soon.
Wishing-I agree with Mrs as far as that being af last week. Sometimes weak periods are an indication of annovulation. Maybe call and ask ur dr?? GL
Afm-husband and I are dtd and I'm putting it out to the universe. The new job I am in they renewed my contract for 3 yrs so I can breathe easy and enjoy the extra time I get with my kids.

 

[Mommy_DK]

Bab- Man , you'd think for all the money they get paid they'd at least be on top of things! Some of these drs can be so lax and careless sometimes. I'm glad you stayed on them and kept calling and at least you know for Round two , if you even need one

Ready- yep that dreded question. I Am just praying this clo works! I'm glad your sil is supportive. That's great you get more time with kids nd DH .

AFM = Like ready, DH and I have been going at it non stop! Idk what's gotten into him but he has been like a rabbit lately ..... Hope that means I'm getting sexier...? Lol but he hasn't been pulling out so I will be testing this month and prob January and February too at the rate he's going lol but I try to work out during the week to keep me busy + a ton of house cleaning so I'm doing pretty good keeping my mind off of ttc and time is flying !

 

[BABTTC123]

Ready- I hope so too! I am starting to get more pessimistic though.. Took my last frer this morning with a bfn :/
I also don't have really any symptoms anymore other than being extremely fatigued! Yesterday and today I have been unbearably sleepy. Almost fell asleep at work yesterday and today I strongly contemplated staying home because I just don't have an ounce of energy.
My temps dropped from 98.49 to 97.89. Not sure if that means anything at all, but for a while my temp was rising like crazy! You can see my chart by clicking my tracker...

Glad to hear that you and hubby aren't letting the Holidays hinder your attempts to ttc
Keep busy so we can see another bfp in a few weeks!!

Mommy- My Doctors assistant even said that she has some unique methods lol she is getting used to it but swears that they seem to work...

I wonder if your hubby secretly wants a girl hehe
Hopefully he doesn't lose this drive by the time March rolls around!! I am hoping for that little boy for ya!!

 

[Smommy013]

Bab- Im sorry about your bfn. Hopefully, it's just to early! How many cycles of limit are they going to do

Wishing- have you got the blood test?

Ready- congrats on the renewal!!!

Afm- 32 weeks and 3 days. I, taking exams as of right now. I'm just trying not to go into premature labor during all thus stress!


Sorry I have been Mia, 3rd year of law school, a 4 year old d pregnacy will def take up a lot of time!

 

[Mommy_DK]

Smommy- Comgrats on your 32 week mark and law school!! My DH just took his LSAT last week and we're waiting on his results! Hope the stress isn't beating you too bad.

Bab- Lol I want my little boy too and I know he doesn't want a girl , I think he figures since I haven't taken the clomid we are in the clear lol. I hope he has the same drive by March too or I will just have to force it out of him! Haha , Did you do your blood draws yet? I'm so anxious for you!

 

[Smommy013]

Mommy- I hope he does well!

 

[BABTTC123]

Smommy- Almost there!! I am super excited for you! You will be holding you sweet baby in your arms in no time
My doctor wants to do 3 cycles and then take a break for a month or two. Reason for the break is that she doesn't think that my husband smoking pot is affecting his fertility. I do. So we all came to an agreement that we will try 3 rounds as is and if we don't conceive then he has to quit smoking pot and get a semenalysis! (btw, marijuana is legal here..)
Anyways, I just want a baby. My hubby knows not to smoke near me and when we have a baby he knows that he won't be able to smoke nearly as much and might have to quit then anyways because I will probably gripe about it lol He doesn't really smoke much at all now, maybe one bowl per week?
I know people who go through numerous bowls per day and i just can't understand how they do it! lol

Mommy- I got my arm poked and they took blood for HcG and Progesterone. It actually hurt this time :'( idk why... I think the lady was just being rough but she was nice otherwise.
Anyways, I find out within a week what the results are. I would think that it should only take a day.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Smommy-good on you for doing law school and pregnancy! I can't believe that u r that close already. I can't wait to hear about it all when it happens. I wonder if ab75 has had her baby?
Mommy-good luck to dh!
Bab-I totally get where u r coming from. Dh beer and coffee consumption have caused me to have many discussions with him about ttc and being healthier.
Afm-I'm 2 or 3 dpo which means if a bfp should happen it would be right before xmas. I will have to test next Saturday as we have an xmas party to go to and I don't want to have drinks if something is going on in there.
Ps-this is me trying to just enjoy the holidays and not think about it! Lol

 

[BABTTC123]

Ready- Fx you will be doing ALOT of explaining as to why you can't drink

afm- Bloods came back. HcG negative, progesterone was reallllllyyyy low.... They were supposed to call me back later to explain what is going on/what my next orders are, but haven't yet. I heard from them at like 8:00 this morning and that was it. Oh well.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Bab-have u had progesterone checked before and if so has it been low?

 

[BABTTC123]

Yeah, just once last month. It was also low. My OPK's showed that I ovulated so I am really confused... I know it is supposed to drop to trigger a period, but nothing is happening.

 

[Mommy_DK]

Ready- Thanks! Hope he gets in so we can get the heck out of MD, the school he would be going to is in PA yay! I hope you get the bfp ! Next month is your appointment woot woot!! Can't wait for them to get started with you, if you even need them

Bab- Me and DH use to smoke SO much when we conceived our youngest two! I am actually starting to wonder if we're having a hard time TTC because I stopped completely. My dh like yours kept smoking but only once in a while and I had him get the sperm analysis thinking it was causing a problem and his count is higher than average so like the de said it wasn't affecting anything. Just thought I'd share that with you

I'm wondering if maybe you just didn't catch the egg when it dropped because of the time ? I remember you mentioned you didn't get to dtd during the LP surge. I wonder if your dr wants to test DH and run other tests before more rounds of clo? Although I'm hoping it's really just because of the timing and this month will be it!

Afm Girls, my kids are leaving me for the weekend to go to bush gardens and church meeting in Virginia ): a part of me is so excited I get a break because I am with my kids all day everyday (except when the oldest two are in school) and I only get a break a handful of times a yr so it'll be nice to hang out and go shopping and do dinner with DH . BUT I have a little anxiety when their gone ... Ok a lot. Lol I don't like the thought of them riding in the car far away or going to crowded places without me . So , this weekend will be a fun relaxing stressful panic type of weekend for me and DH will just be annoyed that I am nervous. Lol but I need to try to just relax because with March coming soon I need to be as stress free as possible !


What is everyone getting into this weekend?

 

[BABTTC123]

Mommy- Thank you for sharing!
I am just soo worried that anything could hinder our attempts more than they already are
I personally think it was just timing for us.. I hope this time we can get it!

That sounds like fun!!! I would try to relax and enjoy it rather than stress about the kids, I am sure they will be fine
Is a relative watching them?

Afm- AF came on her own! FF seems to know my body better than I do because this was FF's projected start date for me.
My doctor had told me I SHOULD have a 28 day cycle, but I am fine with this.
Sucky thing is, I think I have strep throat so I am heading to the doctors and possible get antibiotics (If I have it). Not sure if that will affect Clomid??

 

[Mrs. Burch]

Hey gals!!

Bab-I hope you feel better soon, I agree with the timing, I think that is what it is. Also if af came, that could explain progesterone so low. I do think they need to do a 7dpo test on it though, be sure to demand that when you see gyn again. It just assures them that you did ovulate and if you are going to be taking clo, you want to know that you did O and not wasting your months on it, with out additional help. May need to take progesterone like I do.

Mommy-Try to enjoy your time, I can imagine that it would be stressful not being able to watch over your children. Although mine will have to go to daycare. This may sound selfish but I enjoy my job and look forward to purchasing the agency and I can't take time off to stay at home. with My personality I don't think I can be a stay at home mom, it is a lot of work. Bless those of you that do, I think it will be easier to work vs staying at home.

Ready-That is the position I was in, we were having a big bonfire on Saturday and I needed to test on Friday to know if I could drink and I also needed more progesterone if I got the bfp. Fx this is your month. I truly can't wait to see your two lines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Ab-how are you holding out??!! Not much longer if you haven't already gone!!!

Smommy-getting so close!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see pics!

AFM-I have been so sick, i was so sick ALL day yesterday. I talked to the dr and he told me to take Unisom, it is a sleeping pill but holy mosses, it has been a life saver so far today. I have gotten sick every morning for about 1 1/2 weeks now. I worry about getting dehydrated, since I can so easily. I try to drink 10-12 glasses of water a day, per dr request. I still have lost about 4-5lbs but my jeans aren't fitting right, they are unbuttoned right now. I guess my body is just shifting and changing even though I haven't gained any weight. Crazy how this pregnancy thing works. Hope you all have a great weekend and I am hoping to sleep mine away and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[ab75]

Still here, home birth kit got delivered yesterday. Had growth scan today and he is going to be about 9.5 lb. Hoping he stays in until 16th as that is when I am allowed home birth from.

Hope you are all well xx

 

[BABTTC123]

Ab- my goodness he is a healthy boy!! Fx that he doesn't get impatient

Mrs- I left a message with them today stating that I want some detailed instructions and to be able to talk about futher options. I hope they have some good answers for me :3
Sorry to hear about being sick after my doctors appointment today I plan to do the same thing, just sleeeeeeeeeep lol
I would think it is a good sign that your body is already adjusting, right?
