:wavey: ALLLOOOOOOOO

I keep getting O-like twinges, but they dont last very long... my CM is wonky... but I think that it might be due to DH and I DTD regularily :blush: for the past few days... So hopefully I can rely on my temp shooting up high after tomorrow to confirm that I am ovulating again this cycle :crossfing :pray:

Today is cd 2. We are officially taking a break until March. DH got a new job and we don't have insurance for an initial wait period...besides that, I don't want to stress myself out during the holidays. Good luck to all of you who are still in the running. I hope I don't see any of you here when I get back in March!

Thank you, Brandi Jo, and good luck to you as well! I hope I DO see you here, but i hope by the time you come back, I will be a new, pregnant, self :aok:

Lena:coffee: (maaaaaaaaan, I have to switch to decaf?????GRRRR)

Congrats to Will! I don't suppose it's in St. Louis?

Isn't it sad that after being married for over a year the only pic I could dig out to put in my profile was the wedding one? :woa: heheh:coffee:

Just subscribing.

Today is my last day in this BC cycle and I'm not going to refill my prescription. We're not going to TTC but we probably won't actively prevent either. I will be charting and temping because I like to be totally informed.

I'll let you know when CD1 is. It will be sometime next week, if AF actually shows. Otherwise, I'll just guess. I have only gotten AF about every 4th month while I've been on this BC.

I decided to stop temping the rest of this post O cycle...I can't deal with analyzing each temp.

BTW, if all goes well, I decided I'm going to test on Dec 14th, since that was the day (in 2000) that I got my first ever BFP with Aidan! :crossfing

Can I join in :biggrin: I am currently on CD 10 (and 100 mg. of clomid :rolleyes: ). We've been OTL since October 2003 and actively TTC since who knows when. :lol:

Welcome Andrea :) a fellow Clomid addict ;) I am on round 3 @ 100mg for 8 (yes EIGHT) days :dead: Hopefully this will be our last cycles eh ;)

I'm still here...

Welcome Lena and Andrea.

Alyssa, I figured I wouldn't stress so much out that's why I'm not temping. I just got to get DH to DTD with me more often than just on CD11. He's just been so stressed, he's going to be gone the next two weeks so I'll have to get him good this weekend...like wear his butt out.

I'll have to get him good this weekend...like wear his butt out.
:spit:

figured you'd get a good laugh at that...

It's all I can do...You think he'd want a baby born the same month as he...ya know?

so I'll have to get him good this weekend...like wear his butt out.
Go get him Tiger ;) :lol:

My Dh is walking with a spring in his step the past few days too :blush: and it's not going to stop till Monday at best :lol:

Congrats to Will! I don't suppose it's in St. Louis?Nope, it's actually just about 5 miles from his old job...but much better atmosphere. It's with the guy that called while we were at the zoo with you and Mandi in Evansville. You'd be the first to know if we got a job in St. Louis. You'd have to be checking out housing for me!

Nocona,

I have the DPO info as of today:clap: Today I'm CD 25 and 8 DPO. Will you please update my info? thank you so much!!

:pray: praying for a :bfp:...Fertility Friend suggested I test on December 15.

Lena :coffee:

Welcome Lena and Andrea!
No O for me yet but my cycles tend to be long. The exciting news is that my RE appt got moved up from Jan 24th and now is on Monday at 4:30pm (my DH ran into our RE in the operating room and the RE said he get us an earlier appt - it's good to be in the business!). I can't believe we may be doing a frozen embryo transfer alot sooner than I expected!!!

Amanda

:woo: Amanda!!!! Thats exciting news!

Lena ~ :crossfing for a wonderful :bfp: this cycle :) Hopefully the rest of us in this thread can post some :bfp: results too... as Santa should be stopping by all our houses with some :bfp: ONLY HPT's :lol:

Well... my O achiness has all but subsided... and my CM is all but dried up. :crossfing and :pray: that my temp spikes up around the 37.0C mark in the morning. I just took my temp tonight (which I did last cycle just to compare with the AM temp and it was usually just .1 degree different) and it was 37.2C :) hopefully my thermometer can read the same thing in the morning ;)

:crossfing Chantal for a good temp in the morning

Hi everyone, I'm back to join you all, currently on CD2

:crossfing Chantal for a good temp in the morningThanks Alyssa :)

My temp went up this morning... but only by .1C :crazy: Talk about your slow rise :doh:

So - like last cycle... again... I wait another 24-28 hours to confirm O... :pray: :crossfing

Chantal, I feel your pain. It sucks not knowing if you even Oed :silly:

Suzanne - I'm assuming Monday is CD2? I think that's right with the time difference :scratch:

I'm still waiting to O, but this is a bust as I only was able to get DH on CD11. He's out of town until Friday night/Saturday morning and he's gone again next week too.

So here's to a September baby for me.

Is it possible to be naueseous from being pg this early? I have been feeling blah for a few days. Yes, it could so easily be something else!! :crazy:

Could be all the extra hormones dancing around in there, Alyssa :)

Sorry, Shannan. September 13th produces great people :biggrin: :lol:

Sorry Shannan.
Alyssa - I hope it's early PG nausea!!!

Waiting for my RE appt this afternoon...

Amanda

I'm not getting my hopes up. (Though I am feeling guilty by drinking coffee & soda which seems to make me feel better. :dunno: ) I have to say though, I do want to test earlier than my Dec. 14 plan. :sad:

Temps are fked up... I am upset beyond definition...

I had a complete meltdown this morning... I am angry that my body won't work like it's supposed to... angry that I SHOULD be pregnant right now if only DH had been around a bit longer... angry that Dh and I did not bd last night because I anticipated a temp rise this morning... angry that I am NOT yet pregnant... angry because I look around and see teens with babies, see women and men who should have to pass a course to have children - and they have boatloads of kids that are being raised by family and strangers, see people who just don't appreciate just how much of a blessing it is to actually conceive and be given a child. I am a good person, I lead a decent life, I don't do drugs, I don't drink, I take good care of my body, I have a wonderful husband who wants children as much as I do and is a great dad to Kaitlyn, I have a home that longs for more children of my own, I have a heart that longs for more children of my own... so WHY have I been dealt such a shitty hand???? WHY can idiots procreate like its going out of style... and then there's me, who has always dreamed of having a large and wonderful family - yet I cant ovulate to save my life. WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? I must have done something terribly wrong at some point that I have not been forgiven for... I just dont know what to think... Dont know what to do... All I feel is hurt, ache, desparation and longing. It's like I don't deserve the most beautiful and precious gift ever - to be a Mommy again. Sure, I count my blessings each and every day with Kaitlyn... trust me, there is NOT a day where I dont thank God for sending me such a beautiful child to call my own... Maybe that's it... God picked one of his *special* flowers and gave one to me... and that's all I will ever be blessed with. As wonderful as that might sound to some... It pains me to no end to ever have to contemplate that I will never bear another child again.
I honestly don't know where to go from here. Sure, my cycle is not over... but the problem is, I should have ovulated by now... I shouldnt be sitting where I am... I ovulated last cycle... I should have ovulated by now. The thought that this cycle is a bust very literally feels like I have been kicked in the stomach. I don't know what to do, how to feel or what to say... I just don't know anymore.


This time... it's REALLY going to take nothing short of a HUGE miracle to make things better. Will :pray: work? I don't know. I really don't know. I don't want to loose faith... I want to believe that He has something great planned for me this cycle... but I am seeing with my own eyes, that my body is not working right... Do miracles still happen? Would I be blessed enough to have one come my way right about now? Am I worthy? I just don't know.

Please forgive me if I dont open up my chat windows for the next little while... Short of posting here... I can barely bring myself to breathe... let alone try to be happy enough to chat with anyone right now. I am sorry.


Yes this post is very depressing... I am sorry. I just need to find a happy place... and stay there for the next little while... time to go find Kaitlyn and get a nice big hug from her and thank God for giving her to me.

Chantal, I could have written your post almost word for word! We've been OTL for 14 months now. I look at DH's best friend and his wife. They got PG with their 2nd child "accidentally" and while she is OK with her now (she is 6 months old now) he (the dad) sees her as an inconvienience, someone who is taking away from their 2 year old son. It's very sad.

I can so relate to how you are feeling. I know I should be happy with my daughter (and I really am), but I just don't feel my family is complete with only one child. Unlike Dh's BF, I feel a sibling would be wonderful for Gabrielle. The pain isn't as deep as it was when we were TTC DD. Then I was worried I'd never have a child. Having her does at least bring me SOME comfort!

There are so many things that can affect your temps. Don't give up yet! You should see my PG chart (http://tcoyf.com/ourtcoyf/gallery/gallerychart.asp?id=800&typeid=15) from Gab. WACKY temps!! :hug99:

:hug99: Chantal, I'm right there with you. You'd think it'd be easy to conceive another child, but it's not happening for me and frankly I don't think I've even O'ed at this point. I've had to take Provera to help jumpstart my cycles. If my cycle doesn't do anything again, I'm going to have to re-assess my situation. I go for my yearly appointment next month so, I'm just going to wait until then to figure out what's going on.

I thank god everyday for Aiden but #2 is being ellusive.

Nocona, there's nothing wrong with a September baby.

Chantal - You WILL have another child. I'm certain of it. Don't give up yet. My friend's insurance would only cover 6 cycles of Clomid and no other fertility treatments past that. When she started the 6th round, she had all but given up. Well, that 6th cycle was the magic one and now she has a beautiful little girl who just had her first birthday.

Hey - and this cycle isn't over yet. There is still a chance.

:justahug: Chantal...but I'm with Brooke. I still believe it's going to happen for you.

========

I think I might have friggin' AF. :owow: Not good...assuming I got my O date right that would mean a 7-8 day LP? That's really scaring me. I am going to temp in the morning and see if it's indeed dropped. If so and if AF shows up in full force, I am going to call my OB to discuss. I don't know that they can or will do anything, but I can at least ask. :blue:

On one hand, I read something about there only being a 25% chance each month of getting pg, even if you time it perfectly...then I go and read about short LPs and read about women who are about my age w/ 2 kids and then develop this problem. :dunno:

I KNOW I have no right to complain/stress after a mere 2 cycles...it's just that I've never had any trouble before so I'm worried...worried that maybe the IUD screwed something up?

Alyssa - Do you think you could have implantation spotting? It's about the right time for that - 7dpo... Or did you and DH bd last night? Your cervix could just be extra sensitive...

I hope it's not AF.

Alyssa... I was wondering the same thing as Brooke. :crossfing that its not AF.


I am feeling better tonight. I adjusted my morning temp... because Kaitlyn woke me up 45min. earlier than my usual temp time - and even before I did take my temp, I was busy grumbling for her to get back to bed until she heard our alarm clock (we have been working on this with her for a while now). So, with the adjustment, it makes my temp match yesterdays which was just over the coverline at Ovusoft.

So, for now... I am TOTALLY :pray: for a high temp tomorrow morning to give me coverline at FF and to ease my mind that I have in fact ovulated on CD 18 (the same CD as last cycle).

I wish it weren't this complicated - kwim? :doh:

Alyssa, I got implantation spotting around 7-8DPO when I was PG with Gabrielle. :crossfing that you are experiencing the same thing.

:crazy: I am about to go insane here...

I removed the high temps that I had taken in my non-fertile phase/while still taking the Clomid... and FF FINALLY gave me a coverline. Also, in those first 3 days of temping... I had my thick winter sheets on the bed... and now have my lighter cotton sheets on the bed... who knows? Could my temp be THAT touchy? :crazy:


So now BOTH Ovusoft AND FF have given me a coverline have put me in the DPO phase of the cycle. I am still not confident in this cycle... need to see that temp spike happen. :pray: :crossfing

And with all of that being said... I am 4 DPO today :yippee:

:hug99: Chantal. TTC is rough even if you've never had problems so I can't even what it must be like for you. I thought there was something on FF that you could check if you were on Clomid and it took that into account when calculating your CL :scratch: Maybe not though :crazy:

Alyssa - definitely could be implantation spotting :aok:

Chantal - if you look at last month's chart and this month's chart, they have basically the same shape so far - higher temps then a dip before O, slow rise after O, then 3 days of steady temps. If this cycle is like last cycle, your temp should rise again tomorrow morning.

It's the trend that's important, not the actual temps. I think you're fine. Oh - and compared to last month, you O's a day earlier this time, not later like you thought.

I called Dr Reids (my fertility specialist) office...and will be going for my progesterone blood test on Friday morning. I am going to continue to take my temp until then... and after that - will just let the P4 blood test result tell me what is going on/confirm if I did ovulate or not.

I wonder if my flu on Mon Nov 29 and Tues Nov 30 could be the cause of this cycle being this way (low post O temps). I wonder if the flu even caused me NOT to ovulate...and I am just hoping for something that has not really happened. Kwim?

Oh well.. I am not going to stew over it as much now ;) ... like I said... blood will be drawn on Friday morning - and I will call Dr Reid on Monday for the results. Temping will continue until Friday. I would still be happy to see a nice shift in temps before then :pray: :crossfing

I don't know girls. :blue: This might sound stupid, but what does implantation spotting look like? Is there any way to know that is what it might be by appearance? It's not bright red. (And no, BDing isn't the culprit either.) My temp was still up today, but then again...this all happened last cycle too. I started spotting around this point and my temps stayed up. Who knows, right? Only time will tell.

PS - I do still feel nauseous. :rolleyes:

I don't know as I've not had it, but from what I've read on FF, it's usually just light pink spotting :dunno:

I honestly don't remember what it looked like. I do remember that I *knew* AF was coming that whole day. The next day there was nothing :dunno: I got my BFP the following week. :crossfing

Ok... I have pretty much decided that I cannot allow myself to continue obsessing and stressing over my chart like I am. I am sure that it's certainly not helping with anything.


So, from this point onward... I will continue to post my temps... but I cannot, for the life of me, let the temps get me down any more. This is just :crazy:

:)
Alyssa - I have never had implantation spotting, so I can't really help you out :( Isn't active ttc a joy :rolleyes: :lol: :crossfing for you!

Good for you Chantal...I hope your positive attitude brings you rewards. :)

At this point, my gut is telling me it's not implantation spotting. This is the same gut that was telling me this weekend that I was pg. So what the hell do I know. :crazy:

Can I just say that I'm soooo glad that I'll never be going through TTC again? It's so stressful and easy to read into everything every which way. It's enough to make you :crazy:

I'm still pulling for :bfp: s for all of you!

This is really my first time TTC! I don't know if I could take it again! :lol:

yeah, it doesn't get any easier :banghead:

Boy, I sure feel guilty now. I'm afraid to be truly OTL because I'm afraid I'll actually get pregnant!

The last time I joined a CB thread (on UB), I went in there saying I was going to start TTC'ing the next cycle but I was charting to avoid and wanted to join the group anyway, thinking I'd make some friends and we'd move into the next cycle together. Less than 4 weeks later, I was the one who was pregnant.

Brooke, you shouldn't feel guilty, you should feel GRATEFUL!! :hug99:

Brooke, you shouldn't feel guilty, you should feel GRATEFUL!! :hug99:
Exactly!!!! :nod:

:blush: Oops, I didn't even realise we had a new CB journal!

Good luck to everyone...there are some interesting symptoms out there!!!!! And Alyssa, I think your gut and mine are related!:lol:

My chart is looking fabulous and I am slightly hopeful...but then again it looked great last cycle too and that all came to nought....man, I am doing my head in! I'm going to try to hold out until the 12th as that will be 14DPO - I don't have luteal phases that long, and I figure if my temps are still up that's a really really good sign! But....there's a not so little part of me that's chomping at the bit to test earlier - and I got my BFP with Addy on 12DPO.....

I of course looked at your chart to see how many DPO you are and it looks excellent again! Not much longer to wait either way, but I sure do hope this is it!!

:crossfing for Jolie and Alyssa!

Is there any way, that everyone's charts can be displayed with our names? If thats alot of work Nocona... just disregard my question ok :)

As for my chart.... temp went UP this morning! :yippee: Only by .1C mind you - but still getting further away from the coverline :) :crossfing :pray: that this turns out to be my miracle cycle.

Chantal - I'm right there with you! We did 7 cycles of clomid, 2 injectible cycles, and then IVF to have Nathaniel. Now we're getting ready for a frozen embryo transfer (FET) which will involves weeks and weeks of giving myself daily injections. I know I'm very lucky to have Nathaniel but I'm not too excited about going thru all of the injections again...
Brooke - You should never feel guilty! Just feel lucky!!!

I met with the RE on Monday and I think we're going to move forward with the FET. I thought we'd try on our own for a little bit first but the timing isn't going to work for that. This means that I'm not really a cycle buddy right now. My RE wants me to start provera today to bring on AF so I can have a hysterosonogram (a special sono to look at the uterus). Then, we'll start the process for the FET at the next AF. I was sort of hoping to get to try on our own a bit but this is how things are working out... I'm happy that we'll be able to start the process pretty soon but I'm a bit overwhelmed by the prospect of doing weeks and weeks of intramuscular injections again.

Amanda

As for my chart.... temp went UP this morning! :yippee: Only by .1C mind you - but still getting further away from the coverline :) :crossfing :pray: that this turns out to be my miracle cycle.
It did the same thing last month.... so :up: and :crossfing

Chantal - :woo: and sure, if everyone has a chart somewhere, they can post the link to it and I can put it by your names in the daily count.

Amanda - injections every day :errr: I guess you get used to it though.

Brooke - I feel the same way. Here I am over 1/2 done being pregnant (and not having a hard time getting PG) and there's all these girls that have problems. I know I'm lucky but I do feel bad.

Amanda... :crossfing and :pray: for an easy and quick journey to get pregnant :) Dh and I talked about how far we would take the ttc thing - and unfortunately I dont know if I could go as far as the injection route. I am MAJOR needle phobic and I could not give myself an injection - and DH wouldnt be the best one to give me a shot either... I :faint: at the sight of a needle. It's pretty bad... However, with that being said - I sometimes think that the desire to have another child would far outweigh my fear of a 3 second needle prick...kwim? Anyhow... I truly hope that this works right from the get-go for you!

Nocona... Never feel bad... be thankful and embrace the fact that you are able to conceive without issue :justahug: Btw - my chart is linked in my snowman ticker... or would you prefer if I copied and pasted the link in a separate post?

Brooke... ;) Thanks. :hug99:

Thanks ladies. The injections that cause eggs to develop really aren't bad at all (but I don't have to do those this time!). The progesterone injections are not fun and those are the ones that continue until about the end of the 1st trimester. With Nathaniel, I took injections for 60 straight days!

Amanda

Ok, done with the ones I could find. If someone else has one, just post the url :aok:

Jo - your chart looks so good!!!

Rachel - your chart is looking great too!!!

Today is officially CD 1 for me.

:woo: YAY Brooke :)

Nocona... you ROCK!!!! :up:

Amanda... Yikes... 60 days :faint: but its SO worth it in the end eh ;)

Here is my chart (http://www.ovusoft.com/forum/chart.asp?id=rea23). I missed taking my temp the past 2 days because I woke up too early :rolleyes:

I can't see it, Andrea. I guess because I'm not an Ovusoft member? :scratch:

I could see Andrea's chart and I'm not a member. I think it needed Java, though.

I'm still hanging in there...still no sign of O...and I'm on CD 18. I might have O'ed early and not known it...

OMG new thread! :lol: Sorry guys I have had a lot on my mum has been sick and had surgery 2wks ago. Anyway, Nocona I havent been temping/charting this month very well as my thermometer is knackered! I think the battery has died, but HOLY COW,Am I really CD21 already! ok :crossfing: for me DH and I have been on the BD train em, a lot! :lol: I now I when I am O as I get pains, so for pure measure we BD every single day of the week I was O so hopefully those little swimmers will catch that eggie! So if no AF symptoms I will be testing 16th/17th!

According to my symptoms I should be approx 7DPO, and not walking very well after last week ;)

My chart - http://www.ovusoft.com/cgi-bin/chart.pl/brooke

Cat - Sorry about your mom. Fingers crossed!

Day 2 of provera for me. I'm on provera for 10 days and then wait for AF...

:wavey: Well, my temp went down by .1C this morning. :doh: I am still above coverline though... :crossfing that it stays there.

I am going for my progesterone test tomorrow morning - hopefully I can get the results back on Monday...and it will ease my mind, by telling me for certain if I have ovulated or not.

I dont like how the temp seems to be flatlining just over coverline... Progesterone is supposed to surge after O - causing the temp to rise... :scratch: Oh well... Monday it is... :silly: I am going to loose my mind till then :lol:

I will continue to temp until my blood test results - and if they come back high, I continue to temp and will test on Dec 21st... if they come back low - I start provera the next morning.

I have Java Script enabled, but I still can't see either chart :scratch:

Can I join? I am CD2 now. I am really new to charting, so please bear with me. I would like to start charting to get the hang of it and then decide when we are ready to TTC, of course if it happens earlier that would be nice too. :awink:

Ugh! Stupid thermometer!
I actually remembered to temp this morning - at 4:45am when Rebekah woke me up :rolleyes: - It's a hard habit to get back in to. And my stupid thermometer didn't keep the temp in the memory! AND the display doens't light up so I couldn't see it in the dark.

I've ordered a new thermometer and it's on it's way here (can't find the BD brand thermometers around here anywhere, even though we have a manufacturing plant less than 30 minutes away).

Anyway....just one of those little things that's bugging me this morning. Plus I have cramps. :dead:

Welcome, Nicki!

Welcome Nicki!!! Love your daughters name btw ;) As for being new to charting - well, you're in the company of some ol'pros when it comes to that... :lol: Hopefully, we can help you along :)


Brooke :( that sucks about your thermometer... I dont have a light on mine neither... so I have a flashlight next to my bed that I use to read the temp. Hope you get a great new thermometer and dont need to use it very long ;)

Hi Nicki, glad you're here.

Brooke, sorry the thermometer didn't save your temp, but I hope you get one that works.

Me, for the last couple of days have had bb pain off and on. It comes and goes. Not sure what's up with me. I think my body is doing something. Still no sign of O. But like I said, if I didn't O early it'll be late...which could be this weekend...:crossfing for that because that's the only time I'll be able to get DH before he leaves for another business trip.

Hooray for Nicki joining! :woo:

As for me, let's call this CD1. I guess I could call yesterday it, but it hardly matters...what's a day? :lol: And since Joe is away Dec 24-Jan 5 and I'm a late Oer, I'd rather trick my mind into thinking I'm going to O closer to when he returns rather than when he's gone. :crossfing

I did talk to my OB's office about my short LP and they said to just watch it over the next month or two and if I'm still not pg, we'll talk about it more. Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but it is what I expected to hear. I know they can't do much (if there's even anything to do) after 2 cycles. My pre-natal vitamins have Vitamin B, but I think I'm going to get some Vitamin B Complex to help out too.

Shannan, I hope your body cooperates and you are able to get dh while he is home. :crossfing

Chantal, I figured this is where the pros are! :awink:

Alyssa, Sorry the docs didn't help much, but I hope you get pg so you won't have ask about it later. :crossfing What does the B vitamin help with??

I have a possible job change which might mean putting TTC off for a few months, but at least with charting I will know when is the best time to DTD. I should know more after my interview next week.

Chantal, I figured this is where the pros are! :awink:
I wouldnt go so far as to classify myself as *pro* - but I have enough ttc/bbt information stuck in my brain to make me :crazy: :lol:

Ladies -- I decided to ajust my chart - and remove my *adjustments*... as you can see, I am still over coverline... but just barely holding on :rolleyes:

I had my P4 (progesterone) blood test done this morning (drove to the hospital clinic in a freezing rain storm... winter storm warning... :doh: :lol: ) and will certainly have the results available for me on Monday :) I hope that I have O'ed... it would settle my nerves BIG time. And then I could just stress on whether or not I get a :bfp: ;)

Nothing going on with me.
Af is here, sort of. Only in the afternoons. I guess I shouldn't complain.

Trying to figure out how I'm going to manage to temp. *sigh* DH was just told last week NOT to come into the office in the mornings, which is good news because then we can sleep a little later. BUT... There will be some mornings when he needs to get up at 4am, and some when he can sleep until 5am or later.

Because of that, I'm not sure how or when to temp. It's almost like I'm going to have to set the alarm for me for 4am every day just so I can be consistent.

This morning's 4am temp was 97.7. Seems high. Oh - and I got my new thermometer yesterday so at least I have one that works normally.

Brooke - Sorry about AF and the temping woes. That stinks to have to temp at 4am!
Chantal - Hope the progesterone results are good!
Alyssa - Sorry about AF. I hope the O holds off long enough!
Nicki - Welcome!
Shannan - Hope that O comes at the right time!

I stopped temping since it doesn't really matter anymore. Day 3 of provera down. I'm starting to get psyched for the embryo transfer.

Amanda

:wavey: Good morning everyone!

My temp went back up this morning by .1C - so I am still over coverline. :crossfing . I did a bit of snooping at charts posted at FF... and I noticed that charts with low post-O temps are fairly common, particularily in women over 30yrs -- which I am (I am almost 33 :faint: ).

However, I have pretty much decided not to read into my physical symptoms or my chart until after Monday - when I get my P4 (progesterone) level result back.

Don't get me wrong - I am still hopeful about this cycle... just trying to protect myself from being let down too hard, in the event that I didnt even ovulate...kwim?

Chantal - I totally undestand! As someone who did 7 cycles of clomid, most without ovulating, I know exactly what you mean.
I've taken provera a zillion times before but it's really kicking my butt this time. I have been such a b****! I'm tired, my boobs hurt, I feel nauseated. UGH!

I can't seem to get the Ovusoft one to work right.

:blush1: I'm here catching up have beeen away for a bit


AF arrived today (mon) so first clomid cycle didn't work so onwards and upwards

13th cycle 13th Dec lets hope its a good omen :sunny:

:faint: STOP THE INSANITY :faint:


Chart has a nice *pattern* to it :rolleyes: but I am waiting, impatiently I might add, for the darn temp to rise... I dont like riding the coverline like this. :crazy:

Oh well - I am calling my specialist this morning to get my P4 results - to at least confirm if my body even DID ovulate or not this cycle. This is insane. I have never had such a chart... :doh:

Rachel and Jolene :hug99: :hug99: My heart aches for both of you :(

Amanda - hope the Provera is being nicer now.

Got it Brooke :aok:

Sorry Jo and Rachel :( I hope September babies are in your futures!

I hope you get the news that you did ovulate, Chantal!

No Af or pg symptoms here, still going to be brave an try and hold off testing until Wednesday, although I did get a positive at 12DPO with Sarah.

I'm out too... Progesterone = 2.4... aka: No ovulation occured this cycle. My specialist wants to see me Friday at 3pm to discuss further options. I just want to :puke: right now.

Pee, Cat, pee!!! :lol:

:( Sorry, Chantal :hug99:

I called Dr Reid back... He wants me to come in Friday - so we can discuss injectibles. For some reason, my body has reached capacity with Clomid - and it is no longer effective to make me ovulate.


I am blaming myself... I am still overweight - need to loose another 30lbs. I know that without that added weight I should have ovulated this cycle- and I should be getting excited to test next week... instead, I sit here, annovulatory and faced with the prospect of having to get my Dh to inject me every morning for the greater part of a cycle... I suspect IUI is going to be a factor from now on in too. The biggest issue - Dh's medical plan... I have a feeling they will not pay for the injectibles - meaning thousands of dollars for Dh and I to come up with... which we simple do not and will not have.

I am beginning to realize that I am not going to have any more children. If that's the road my body is taking, then I am going to let Dr Reid move ahead with a hysterectomy. Yes, sounds drastic... but there has to be a point where I just HAVE to admit that it's never going to be. Hysterectomy has always been a final outcome once I was done having children - due to the PCOS/lack of a period/risk of uterine cancer/family history of female cancers.

I am beyond sick with dissappointment. I called my mom, hoping for some comfort... instead I was greeted with a "Oh just stop it now... you aren't doing anything by crying other than upsetting yourself. Get over it, move past this - and stop this nonsense." Ahhh so very supportive and loving dontcha think *sigh*.

Gotta go - need to call Dh back at work... and well... do whatever it takes to make it through today.

Thanks to everyone who http://www.letsjusttalk.com/vb/images/smilies/prayers.gif and http://www.letsjusttalk.com/vb/images/smilies/crossed.gif for me... Sorry to let you all down and take up so much of your time.

I really can't see past today as to what I am going to do... Today, I will continue to breathe... and will drown my sorrows by filling my house with the laughter of my beloved Kaitlyn. Thank God for her - cause I probably would not have the strength to continue. When we ttc Kaitlyn - Dh and I had agreed that if we were faced with the prospect of injectible fertility meds, we would just come to the conclusion that we were not meant to have children and live that way forever... however - now that we have been blessed with Kaitlyn... injectibles are not totally ruled out...

Please God give me strength to continue... I seriously need a divine intervention right about now.

Goals:
~ eat, sleep, breathe
~ be thankful for Kaitlyn and continue to feel blessed everyday for having been able to conceive and give birth to her
~ back to weight loss program - am going to try exercise and modified eating habits on my won, instead of paying for WW
~ find internal strength to overcome fear of needles so to be able to progress to injectible fertility medication

:hug99: I'm sorry Chantal. I'm thinking of you.

Nothing much new for me. Just waiting now. I got DH on Friday night, so we'll see...not keeping my hopes up.

:sadhug: Chantal I am so sorry. I often wonder (despite being assured otherwise) that my weight is a contributing factor in my IF struggles. I've been feeling very many of the same feelings you are feeling. The only difference is I have no clue if the clomid is working again or not. My doc doesn't monitor me :rolleyes: We would never be able to afford injectables either; at least not for a few years. I'm sorry this isn't it for you :hug99:

Chantal - I'm sorry things aren't working out. Is there any reason to think that trying Clomid next month won't work again? It worked last month. I guess I don't understand.

Andrea - my neighbor is doing her first round of clomid and her dr was doing sonograms to monitor follicles and the # of eggs that were being released. It's amazing how some do that and others don't.

Chantal - My heart breaks for you. I didn't respond to Clomid, either, and I'm not overweight at all. Please don't blame yourself!!! I did 2 cycles of injections and then IVF to have Nathaniel (after 7 cycles of clomid). I'm not a needle-phobe to begin with but the injection cycles were really ok. The needles are small and you really get used to it. I know that $$$ is always an issue but the needle part should be do-able. If I can be of any help at all, please feel free to PM me!

Amanda

My name is Erica and we will be trying for #3 in just a few weeks, but wanted to pop in and out of lurk mode to give you a hug, Chantal. I'm very sorry to hear your news.:cry:

I have 2 sons already...ages 33 months and 15 months. My older son, Adam, took years to conceive. I was also clomid resistant (and like Amanda, I am not overweight) and did Follistim injections/IUI. Prior to that, I had 3 miscarriages. I have PCOS and my husband has swimmer issues. However, my second son, Jared, was coceived with no RE help at all (although I did take progesterone throughout my first trimester). I'm starting this TTC journey up soon because, quite frankly, I have no idea how long it will take this time around...how long it will take to conceive and if I will once again miscarry!!! I will say that since having Jared, my cycles have been completely regular (they NEVER were before...), so this is a big weight off my shoulders. If I could just get my husband's swimmers to swim where they're supposed to go, then it just might work without IF help.

Chantal- Clomid never worked for me. They kept increasing my dose, which gave me the WORST hot flashes, but never made me ovulate. I felt like I was going through menopause. If your husband's medical plan doesn't cover injectibles, then what I would do would be to go on the pill for 3 months, and then go off of it. With PCOS, you will sometimes have what they call a "rebound" ovulation, which just might get you lucky. If injectibles ARE covered and you decide to go for it, my advice would be to do the injectibles yourself....I felt MUCH more in control doing it on my own.

:wavey: Hi everyone...

Well - here is where I stand in regards to the ttc issue. I honestly dont know what direction I will take - it's going to depend on what Dr Reid has to say on Friday... I am hoping we can give Clomid 1 more try before heading off to injectibles. I am not 100% convinced I want to take that route just yet.

Of all the months we have been ttc - this has been the biggest letdown thus far. The reason I am debating the injectibles... is mainly because I am so afraid of needles... that if I do give in and decide to give it a whirl... and find out even that doesnt work... I honestly dont know how I will be emotionally if faced with that outcome. I don't know if it's going to be worth the risk to me and my family's emotional health.

I am scared - scared that this is the end of the road. I am disgusted that it has taken such a turn. I am going to refocus on my weight loss - because that made me very happy... and I need to feel happy again. As for the ttc - we are now telling everyone that we are no longer focusing on having any more children. I am tired of people asking me when #2 is coming - I am tired of discussing my ttc issues with people... So - from this point onward... anyone asking me about more kids - is getting a "We don't want any more children." reply.

I need to shape up mentally - to prepare myself for what lies ahead. So, first off, my weight... that I CAN control... then I will let the ttc cards fall where they may - and hope for the best.

I am very close to just giving up altogether. This has been, by far, the hardest day of my ttc journey... and I :pray: to God that it doesn't get worse than this.

Thanks for letting me ramble on. :justahug: I have to admit -- you ladies play a HUUUUUGE part in keeping me strong and sane... and I know I will never be able to repay each of you... but you are all in a very special place in my heart.

:hug99: I'm hoping your doctor can shed some light on what lies ahead on Friday.

Erica - I'm right there with ya!
Chantal - Sorry you're at such a low point. I hope you have a good appt with your dr.

Amanda

:hug99: Chantal

As for me, AF is a day late for my average cycle 26, my longest is 28, still no symptoms both AF or pg, so peeing on a stick tomorrow with FMU.

:woo: Cat!

:crossfing Cat!!

As for me, I haven't been able to temp due to not sleeping right and being woken up too early the past few days. :rolleyes: CM is pretty fertile, but not quite EWCM yet. I made DH :boink: before he could leave the house this evening. :blush: TCOYF is predicting O on Thursday. I'll make sure we DTD tomorrow, Thursday AND Friday!! We NEED to catch that eggie. I'm so afraid of becoming resistant to clomid. :(

Cat - Fingers crossed!

Andrea - Go get him!

Amanda

Ok, I just POS, Nocona I know you will shout at me as its not FMU and I know how picky you are about that :lol:

Well, I used clearblue the one that does a - for neg and + for pos, well, I am not sure if I am seeing a + its a bit faint I tried to take a pic but its not clear. Tomorrow I will get a digi test.

ooooh Cat sounds positive!!!!

Chantal, I don't post here normally, but I wanted to come by and give you a hug. :hug99: I'm so sorry you're dealing with all of this. I was so hoping this would be your month. :( I wish I had a magic fertility wand to wave over you. :hug99: You mentioned getting back to losing weight, since that was making you happy, but not actually doing WW. I just wanted to let you know that I missed you in the WW thread, so whether you're actually *doing WW* or not, please know you're welcome there.

Chantal, I'm so sorry you are going through this - it's not a fun place to be. I really hope the doctor is able to answer some questions for you.

:jump: Cat! How very exciting!!! All crossables are crossed for you!

I just used FRE this morning and there is another faint line. I took both tests into see my best friend who lives next door and she sees the lines too. I have bought a digi test and am going to use that later on!

:yippee: Cat!! (I have no room to talk about not using FMU as I POAS at 9pm at 9DPO with this kid :lol: )

Congratulations!!

Amanda

:woo: Congrats Cat!!!!!!!!


Thanks everyone for the support... :) You really have no idea how much it means to me... Today is the start of a new day... :) I will overcome my ttc struggle... your support helps me through it all.

I finally was able to temp and my temp plummeted to 96.3 :scratch: TCOYF is still predicting O tomorrow, which fits in with the gobs of EWCM I have today. :dunno: DH is sick (congested and just feeling crappy):sick: so I may have to do all the work :blush: but I will make sure we :boink: Gotta catch the eggie!!!!!http://www.theotherforum.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_fertilization.gif


http://www.theotherforum.com/forum/images/smiles/babydust.giffor all of us!!!

Yay Cat!!!! Great news.

Andrea- Good luck catching the egg!

Chantal- Sounds like you have a good plan, and I hope you have a great day today. Good luck with your appt. on Friday.

Amanda- Yep...you and me both :lol:

The first test I did it said not pregnant, then I realised I messed up, so I took another one.

Chantal - Glad you're feeling a little better!
Andrea - You go!
Erica - Isn't IF fun???
Cat - That looks ++++ to me!
Can't wait to finish provera and move on!

Amanda

Congratulations, Cat!!

Amanda... I am on day 3 of Provera too :rolleyes: I feel SO sluggish - and keep getting AF-like achiness too... not to mention how quick tempered I am :blush: Not fun... :doh: It's all for a good cause though right???? (need some convincing ;) )

Now do you believe it, Cat? :lol:

Congratulations Cat...

Thanks everyone :) Nocona, would you believe I took another digi test just to make sure! :lol:

Shannon, hope you will be joining me sweetie, I have good vibes ;)

One can only hope :)

Congratulations, Cat!

Chantal - Yup! All for a good cause. I'm on day 8 of a 10 day course. I've been so awful to people! It'll be worth it in the long run!!!

Amanda

My mom's been taking Provera for menopause. I thought it was weird that the dr gave that to her. She was having her period for 15-20 days at a time so the dr told her to take 14 days of provera every other month for 6 months and see what happened. She just finished the last 14-day course and she hasn't had a period in 3 months so she's hoping she's done for good.

Anyway - that's my only Provera experience.

Wow, I never knew Provera had those side effects. The only side effect I had from it was being pissed off because it was the end of an annovulatory cycle...but now I wonder if it was the pissed offedness AND the drug.:lol:

CONGRATULATIONS CAT! :woo:

I'm taken provera many times and usually I do fine. This time I noticed the side effects more but I've also been under more stress...

Cat PREGNANT!!!

No news here for me. I went back through my old charts from last time and I typically didn't O until CD 18 and I had an LP of 13 days. Today is only CD 9. Geez, it goes slow!

Does anyone here get O pain? While I was reading my old charts, I noticed that I used to have back pain a couple days before O. Yesterday, my lower back was hurting really bad and my lower abdomen is achy and tender. I used to get O pains when I wasn't on BCP before. I remember my first cycle off BCP before Rebekah. I thought I was going to die! I honestly thought it was my appendix. I had severe pain for 2 days before I finally O'd. I'm wondering if it will be the same this month.

I also used to be able to tell exactly which side I O'd from and exactly when I O'd. I'd get a sudden cramp that would last a few minutes.

Cat PREGNANT!!!

Does anyone here get O pain? :nod: I certainly do - when I ovulate, that is. The cycle where I was fortunate and ovulated... I felt it for about 3 days... at one point it was so sore that it felt like my ovary was going to push through my pelvic bone... thats the only way I can describe it.

I can totally feel my ovaries working when I am on Clomid... but when I ovulate the pain and achiness is much more prominent than just the twinges when I dont ovulate.


Today's the day I see Dr Reid... 3pm EST to be exact. If anyone cares to share some :pray: and :crossfing for a wonderfully optimistic outcome - I would be forever thankful :)

:crossfing for you Chantal.

Good luck, Chantal. I hope you get some good news.

:justahug: Thanks everyone!

Back from the appointment... and good news :)


Clomid CD 2-9 @ 100mg again (for 4 cycles if it takes that long ;) )
Estradiol tablets inserted vaginally on CD 13 & 17 to maximize CM
Carrots and Green Tea from CD 12-20 (thats *my* input ;) )
Progesterone test on CD 24 (again to view ovulation... and Dr Reid is also checking to make sure my ovaries aren't moving into perimenopause, he is testing my FSH and Prolactin levels too)
Taking my temp from CD 11 to CD 33 (if I show a temp rise = ovulation)
HPT CD 33 and NO earlier ;)
He said he wouldn't move onto injectibles just yet for 2 reasons...
1- my needle phobia
2- I did ovulate on cycle #2 and the reason I didnt conceive was because Dh was hunting... now if DH had been here and we :sex: the whole time - and THEN I still did not get pregnant... then he would be more apt to consider injections at this point.

So... I am going to sleep well for the next 5 days... The :bat: is due to arrive Christmas eve...and if she does show up then... I am starting Clomid on Christmas day :faint: How's that for a Merry Christmas to you eh :lol:

AND if all goes well... and my temps show an ovulatory cycle... I will take my HPT just days before Kaitlyn's 3rd birthday :) SO - there is still hope that she will be a big sister before her 4th birthday :pray:

However - after what I just went through... I am not getting all riled up this coming cycle. If it happens... GREAT... if it doesnt... well - I still have until April to keep trying before Dr Reid changes the gameplan.

Chantal - That's GREAT news! And it sounds like a great plan to me!

I finished provera and now am waiting for AF to arrive...

:hug99: Thanks everyone!

I have 3 more Provera tabs to take - and I too, will be awaiting the :bat: to arrive just in time for Christmas festivities :rolleyes: Oh well.

I wont be around from Thursday until next Tuesday - so my chart wont reflect AF until the middle of next week... and I will have already started my Clomid run again :dead:

Shannan when are you testing I dont think I can wait another 3 days!

I'm hoping to test on Thursday or Friday if AF is late. AF is supposed to arrive on my birthday. Happy Birthday to me...ugh. So, it may be me testing on Christmas Eve...been crampy today and yesterday, so I'm not too hopeful. Though I have been hormonal all weekend and there has been CM all weekend too. Had a meltdown Saturday afternoon and was aggrivated with everyone. Been exhausted early on in the evenings and I took a 3 hr nap yesterday. So, you'll have to be patient a little longer. It's all I can do to keep from driving myself crazy. Hans mentioned again last night that he missed the baby belly.

Those sound like great signs to me, Shannan :lol: Not much longer to wait!

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too Nocona...if not, there's always next month.

What's going to bite about this whole thing, my BF is getting married July 19th and I'll be due the 2nd week in August. So that just means I'll be wearing a royal purple maternity bridesmaids gown...if it's +.

you'd actually be due closer to the end of August, wouldn't you? I know that *if* I Oed on the 16th (as ovusoft predicted, but has yet to confirm) my EDD will be September 8th. :dunno:

Chantal - Ain't provera fun???
Shannan - Stay away AF!

I'm waiting for AF. I thought she'd be here by now but I sometimes have wacky responses to the provera. The sooner the better...

Amanda

you'd actually be due closer to the end of August, wouldn't you? I know that *if* I Oed on the 16th (as ovusoft predicted, but has yet to confirm) my EDD will be September 8th. :dunno:
Andrea that's what I am thinking too...if I did get that + this weekend I'd be due Sept 1st...we'll find out this weekend...

Shannon, I had crazy CM before I tested ++ normally my CM dries up after I O but this time it didnt, although I was getting cramps, this kind of made me wonder if AF was coming. Regardless, these sound like great signs especially the tiredness! :crossfing: You would probably be due around the late stage of August I am over 4wk now and my EDD is 08/25

This is what I'm hoping as well...so we'll see.

Shannan - Any news yet???

Why does AF always come when you don't want her and never when you do? Yup, still waiting for AF. UGH!

Amanda

My chart is so sad aand ugly :blue: I'm not holding out hope for this month :(

Andrea - I'm sorry. :(

I think I O'd, or I'm about to O. The O pains were really bad last night, so bad that I just wanted to curl up in bed and go to sleep, and they are not so bad today. Guess I'll attack DH tonight, just in case.

Shannan - Any news yet???

Why does AF always come when you don't want her and never when you do? Yup, still waiting for AF. UGH!

Amanda
Still no AF...still tired and the crampy feeling has subsided. Still testing on Friday.

Shannan, I hope that test is a :bfp: :crossfing

Amanda, I know that feeling. I hope AF shows up soon!

Andrea, sorry that the chart is not looking good. I hope it looks better next month.

Brooke, I hope you are able to get dh tonight! :lol:

So dh and I DTD on Sunday night, CD 13 or so. FF said that might be when I O. I don't really feel any O pains or anything so can't go by that. When would I be able to test? Or should I just wait and see if AF shows up around the 8th?

Nicki, I'd wait (or try at least) until AF is expected! There is less of a chance of a false BFN that way!

Andrea - Sorry! That's frustarting!
Shannan - Keeping fingers crossed!!!
Brooke - Go get him!
Nicki - Hope you caught the egg! Try to wait until AF is due.

Amanda

Andrea - I'm sorry. :(

I think I O'd, or I'm about to O. The O pains were really bad last night, so bad that I just wanted to curl up in bed and go to sleep, and they are not so bad today. Guess I'll attack DH tonight, just in case.
:lol: And here I thought you were going to wait until January or February to start trying!!

:lol: And here I thought you were going to wait until January or February to start trying!!:lol::blush: Yeah...well, that was the plan. But what's a couple of months? And if DH is ready and willing... Why not go for it, right?

You know, being off birth control for just 2 weeks has really increased my sex drive. :thumbsup:

You go Brooke!

Amanda

:lol::blush: Yeah...well, that was the plan. But what's a couple of months? And if DH is ready and willing... Why not go for it, right?

You know, being off birth control for just 2 weeks has really increased my sex drive. :thumbsup:
Go for it! You know it is funny....I got pg with Abby after being off BCP for only 2 weeks and those 2 weeks were the highest my sex drive has ever been! The only bad thing is now Roger only remembers those 2 weeks and so everything is compared to that! :lol:

:lol: Wendy when I saw you posted in here I thought you were going to announce something!

Cat PREGNANT!!!

Hi everyone. I have a Fertility Friend question.

In the calendar view for my chart, FF has marked yesterday as a green square. What does that mean?

Peak fertility day.

Ok, thanks. That's what I thought but I couldn't find it anywhere.

My mom almost bought me summer maternity clothes yesterday - they are all on sale at Fashion Bug and she was out shopping. And then MIL calls last night and starts her "Are you pregnant yet? Are you trying? Why are you waiting? You don't want to big of an age gap, you know. Rebekah will be almost 4..." :rolleyes:

TMI...had a change in CM...it was really light and sticky but I just had a big gush of the stuff. So, I'm going to get a box of digitals tonight so I can POAS in the morning.

:crossfing for you Shannan!!! I wont be here to see the results... but I will be back next Tuesday :) Hope it shows a beautiful :bfp:

For me - Provera is done... AF should be here tomorrow after supper. We leave for our Christmas vacation at my parents place tomorrow - and they are calling for the snow storm of the season to hit :doh: Figures... we have a 10 hour drive through Northern Ontario.

Have a safe trip...and if not Chantal, there's always next month.

CD 19 3DPO for me today

Sounds great, Shannan!

Be careful, Chantal!

Shannon, POAS first thing and post it, It wont be until the afternoon here and I am working so I need to know before I go!!

But your CM sounds fantastic (if that doesnt sound too weird! :lol: )

Fingers crossed Shannan!!!

No AF for me yet! UGH! (and, no, I'm not PG).

Amanda

My CM is drying up so I'm pretty sure I O'd yesterday.
Probably the first time I ever O'd on CD 14 in my life.

http://www.simply-baby.net/forum/images/smilies/cheer3.gif Have a great xmas and new year http://www.simply-baby.net/forum/images/smilies/cheer3.gif

(back 3rd or 4th january)

so chart wont be updated

u/s fro xmas eve so hoping for some nice follicles :)

Fertility Friend says I'm CD 16, 3dpo today.

Cat PREGNANT!!!

:bday: Happy Birthday, Shannan! Now get up and pee!!

I hope your u/s goes well tomorrow, Rachel! Have a great Christmas and New Years!

Thanks Nacky...the test came back :bfn: It may be too early yet...as I tested the day after with Aiden and it came back negative too...

Was that with a digital? Those things need a pretty high level of hcg to come up positive.

nope it was an FRE and I've never tested positive with them.

Me either :lol:

So you'll try again tomorrow?

I am keeping my fingers crossed that you will get a :bfp: tomorrow!!

if AF is still AWOL...I may...I may just wait until Christmas day...don't know yet.

Sorry about the negative Shannan. I hope AF stays away and you get a +!

My Lp when I was charting before was 11-13 days. When I got pregnant with Rebekah, my chart went triphasic at 11dpo and I got my first + hpt that night. So as long as FF doesn't change my O date, I'll probably try to wait until New Year's Day (12dpo) to test.

I'm sorry Shannan! I hope AF stays away!

Amanda

Ok...I'm not sure what's going on. My temp just doesn't want to rise above 97.8. FF gave me a coverline and I'm positive I o'd because of O pains and CM signs but my temps are just sitting at the same place. :dunno:

Good luck Shannan! :crossfing

Brooke - maybe your body is trying to O but stress or something is preventing it? :dunno: I am no expert, that's just something I heard someone else suggest once.

As for me, I'm on CD15 and praying I don't O for another 12 days since DH is gone until Jan 5th. It wouldn't be crazy for my body to wait that long, although CD27 is late for me as of late...I've been Oing around CD24. That said, I sort of guessed on what I called CD1 here and it could actually have more accurately been a few days past what I used. Let's hope! And also since I got PG with the boys on CD31, I know that is a good day for me. :crossfing

:crossfing Alyssa that you O sometime around the 5th.


I have my first ever UTI, I've been on a three day course of antibiotics. I'm not sure if it has fully resolved as I'm still running to pee constantly. I'll do another specimen in a few days and test it at work if this continues.

This cycle is out for me anyhow. For various reasons we used the withdrawal method and are opting to start TTC Jan 2005. There is a tiny sliver of hope that I could get PG as we BD right around O.

Ok - I figured out what's up with my temp! My thermometer is too cold! It was mentioned on Fertility Friend that a cold thermometer gives the same readings every day. I have 2 od the same thermometer and they usually give the same reading. I kept one warm (in my sock :lol: ) and the other cold and I temped with both and the cold one said the same temp as yesterday and the warm one said 98.1, a pretty good difference.

So now I have no idea what the past 3 temps were.

CD 1 for me today! I'm so excited (and soooo nervous!)

There's no way I'd be able to temp. every morning. The boys usually wake me up in the middle of the night, and there's no way I'd get an accurate reading these days. I'm just going to wing it for a few months and go by O pains and CM. I've had 30-32 day cycles the past 4 months or so. So, here we go. Good luck to everyone!!!

6 dpo today. I'm having some pulling/achiness in my lower stomach (below where my belly fat sits). :lol: They just started tonight.

Cat PREGNANT!!!

Brooke your chart looks really good :crossfing:

Shannan waiting! :popcorn:

Was sick over the weekend with a stomach virus. ER took another pregnancy test on Friday...negative. Still have CM and no sigh of AF so I'm still going to wait a bit until she shows...still may be too early.

Stay away AF!!!

Good luck Brooke! Still hoping for you, Shannan! (And I hope you feel better. :sad: )

As for me, I haven't temped in 5 days and I forgot to temp at a normal waking time this morning, so I did it after being up and around for a bit. My temp was a bit high. Of course, there are tons of reasons for that but I am soooo hoping it stays down for another 9 days! If not, it would mean I O'd way earlier than normal (normal for me!) which would be okay if that happened next cycle too. What I can't stand is these 40 day cycles...they really cut down my chances of getting pg! :complain:

Alyssa I'm right there with you. When I don't take the Provera, my cycles go as long as 42 days.

I have everything crossed for you Shannan!

I'm so tired today! I just want to close my eyes and sleep. It's an effort to keep them open. I've also got some weird feelings in my stomach, kind of like muscle spasms. I woke up at 2am this morning feeling like I was going to throw up (was fine when I woke up again at 4am) and now I just discovered that i have some creamy cm.

Of course, this all could mean nothing!

Have everything crossed for you too Brooke.

They might give me Clomid to help me O faster if I'm not PG in a few more cycles. But if I O early this time and therefore had no chance to get PG since Joe's away, we're probably talking early spring before I'd get it. :sad: I so didn't want that much space between Colin & #3. Nor did Joe, a fact he likes to remind me of since I was the one who held off TTCing a bit longer than he wanted.

Brooke - I know it's hard not to overanalyze things, but it does sound promising for you!

I have my fingers crossed for you Shannan and Brooke.


Alyssa, I hope you O late so that Joe will be in town! :crossfing

I am sure the age difference will all work out. :nod: Just seems like a long time now when they are little.

Cat PREGNANT!!!

:doh: Colin woke up screaming at 6:45 and I got him, went down to get him milk, and walked around before I remembered I didn't temp. I temped after that and it was 98.0 - high for me anytime but in an O period but I can't count on that to tell me much given the activity. :rolleyes:

And I know the age difference isn't that far at all...just seems it given Aidan & Colin's spacing. Which I love but didn't want again...although in retrospect, maybe we should have just gone for that again...which is what Joe wanted. Too late now! :lol:

I replied to this thread and then when I hit post, our server hiccuped and the post was lost. I HATE that.

Alyssa - we had originally planned for a 2 yr age gap and then I just kept pushing it off and now we're looking at a 3.5-4 year gap. Oh well.

I had to temp early this morning because Rebekah woke up screaming at 3am. I temped before I got out of bed to take care of her and my temp was 98.6. If you adjust that for temping an hour early, it's 98.8! That's really high for me. I didn't get more than 1.5 hrs of consecutive sleep after that so I couldn't temp anymore.

Does anyone have a BD-brand basal thermometer? I want to know if the package insert gives a suggested operating conditions - like "Thermometer should be kept at room temperature, 68-88°F" or something like that. Our room gets really cold - 55° at night - and I'm wondering if that would affect my temps. I've been warming up the thermometer since 4 dpo and that's when my temps really started going up.

Good luck Brooke and Shannan!
AF still isn't here for me. Very, very strange since I finished the provera well over a week ago. Oh well. Still waiting...

Amanda

Brooke - I think that is the thermo. I have. Is it purple? However, I have no idea about storage...it just stays in my nightstand. But my room doesn't get nearly that cold.

Yeah, it's a pink-purple color. I've started keeping it in a sock under my pillow to keep it a little warmer.

Our house is old and our bedroom is an addition and they didn't do the heat right. The air coming out of the vents in our room is actually cold even when we're running the heat.

:wavey:

Great looking chart Brooke!!! :crossfing:

Well... as predicted... Last Provera on Dec 22... :bat: Dec 24th :rolleyes: So I am now on CD 5 (Dec 28th) and moving into day 5 of 8 of Clomid as of tomorrow morning.

My Progesterone test falls on Jan 17th...and if it shows (along with my temps ;) ) that YES I have ovulated.... Then Test Day will be January 25th and NOT a day sooner ;)

Amanda :justahug: You have taken Provera before right? Have you done an HPT just to see?

Alyssa... Kaitlyn will be almost, if not already 4yrs old by the time we make her a big sister. I, too, did not want to space the kids out too much - but the more I think about it... the more I like the idea of 4yrs between 2 children... helps in alot of ways --- Kaitlyn will be in school soon after baby #2 is born... Kaitlyn will be finishing University/College, just as #2 enters into University/College... making it a bit easier on Dh and myself financially to help our kiddies out :) Kaitlyn is done with teething, diapers, terrible 2's, ect... BEFORE baby #2 arrives ;)

Back from my Christmas holiday :) Had a great time... driving weather was the pits... our usual 10 hour drive to my parents turned into a 2 day ordeal to get there.... and a 12 hour ordeal to get back! :faint: Crazy EH? :lol:

Cat PREGNANT!!!

Welcome back, Chantal! Sounds like a driving nightmare!

Thanks Nocona :justahug: Yes, it was a pretty trying experience... as expected, unfortunately. However, I have made it clear that we will not be doing the Christmas drive again - unless we move back up north and are much closer to my parents than we are right now. It's just too stressfull as it stands right now.


Brooke... have you set a Test Date yet? ;)

Nacky I'm CD 38 today and no AF in sight.

Brooke... have you set a Test Date yet? ;)
Friday, if my temps stay up. That will be 11dpo. That's when I got my + with Rebekah. If it's -- on Friday, then I'll wait until Sunday. If I'm not pregnant, my temps should drop below the coverline by Saturday or Sunday.

Today I'm feeling a little queasy but I think it's nerves. I've got myself all worked up over all of this that I've made myself feel sick. But...maybe it's not nerves. Who knows at this point? I also just don't feel quite like myself. I'm still VERY tired, even though I slept really well last night. And I have this head-in-the-clouds feeling. I'm sure I'm not sick or getting a cold or anything.

Wow, Brooke - that's so exciting!

Welcome back, Chantal. I know I shouldn't b*tch about the spacing between Colin & #3 since it was my own decision to wait...I am just selfish and silly sometimes. Okay, a lot. :lol:

As for me, I really think I've already O'd. :( I finally managed to temp today and even though it was a little late, it was 98.3. I've never been over 98 w/out having O'd. I also really don't think I just O'd - if indeed it's already happened, I think it was 3-5 days ago. We BD'd either Tues am or Wed am (can't remember) last week so there could be a very outside chance we could have caught this cycle, but I really, really doubt it. (Now I am sooo mad about events Thursday night/Friday am before he left. :bawl: ) I guess the good news is that I O'd much earlier so it might happen that way next cycle too.

Brooke ~ :crossfing

Alyssa ~ :hug99: Hope you get your :bfp: next cycle :)

Amanda ~ I just fed-ex'ed :bat: your way okie :)

Shannan ~ :crossfing

I think that the :bat: has left the building... :pray: that its the LAST time I see her for at least a year and a bit ;)

:crossfing for you too Chantal

I don't know what's up with me...though if AF stays away this weekend I'll test again...as lately it should be here either Friday or Sunday.

Thanks Chantal! Still not here...
Fingers crossed Shannan and Brooke!
Alyssa - Sorry that you're pessimistic about this cycle.

Amanda

Actually FF put me at CD39 today...I'll have a chart depending if there is a next cycle.

Oh my gosh! I just got a faint BFP!!!!! I am scared nervous, oh man. I had a m/c in sept I am just praying for a sticky baby!!!!!!

:yippee: Congratulations, Tara! I hope this one sticks!!

Thank YOu I have everything crossed!

Tara! Congratulations on the BFP!!! I really hope this time it works out for you!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!! Just checking in to see who is next!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Thanks Michele, for the support in the past and now! I hope this one sticks!

Happy New Year!

Congratulations, Tara!

I can't wait to go to bed so I can temp in the morning! Isn't that sad?

:woo: Tara! Congrats!!!

Brooke - I totally understand where you're coming from. :nod: Heck, I hope I wake up to a LOW temp...you don't hear that one every day!!

Thanks! just tested this am and got a really dark positive! We are so happy what a way to start the new year!!

Tara congrats :woo:

My temp is back up today. I'm going to look at my old charts this morning and see if I used to get a temp drop at 10dpo.

Great news Tara!

I just looked at my chart from this pregnancy, Brooke, and it looks a lot like yours :aok:

Congratulations Tara. AF is still scarce, so I don't know what's going on. I'm going to test this weekend...again...

:woo: Congrats Tara... please feel free to leave some fresh babydust for us ttc'ers ;)

:crossfing Brooke :) Lookin good!!!!

:hug99: Amanda... How frustrating for you :(

I am in that *dull* stage of the cycle... I dont start temping until about CD 11... since I know I dont ovulate till CD 18 or 19... I have 2 more days of Clomid... and am actually fairing pretty well this cycle on it. I think that it has alot to do with not having one of my daycare parents around till next week. This one parent can get under my skin real fast when I am at this stage of my cycle. I try not to let her get to me - but she just does...kwim?

Anyhow... thats about it from this neck of the woods :)

Glad your daycare parents aren't bugging you this week, Chantal. Good luck this cycle! Are you feeling more positive about it than you were a few weeks ago?

I'm just sitting here wishing the day would go faster so I could go to bed - partly because I want to temp and test, and partly because I can't seem to hold my e
