You're still well above your coverline, Melissa :crossfing

Thanks Nocona! :)

Melissa - last cycle, AF came on the 14th day past O. So that would be today. There's still a chance. Don't give up yet!

:wavey:


Hi everyone! Today is CD 2 for me :banana: I start taking the ever wonderful Clomid tonight. :badwords: I am currently under the influence of drugs... Provera that is ;) causing me to be an :angrywife

Oh well - it's going to be this way until almost the last week of April. I am due to ovulate around the 24th - 25th... and my blood test day will be May 2nd, with my HPT day being maybe on Mothers day, IF my blood test shows that I have ovulated.

I am not getting all riled up over this cycle - as I didnt loose as much weight as I wanted to... and I guess I am just tired of always getting my hopes up over nothing. :)

Well, I will get my hopes up for ya!! Good luck. Maybe we can get pg together!!! :hug99:

Good Luck again Melissa, I'll be as jealous as anything but so happy for you :crossfing

Lets talk Luteal Phases, currently my luteal phase is 12/13 days is that long enough?

I was going to try BD ever other day this cycle, usually I O anywhere from CD16-18 so when do think we should get busy :awink:

Now is a good time!! Seriously, I am the absolute wrong person to ask. I just figured out what LP was. :lol: Good luck and have fun.
Thanks for the good luck. I think it's actually going to take a miracle for it to be true this month.

Melissa - I'm crossing all crossables!
Suzanne - That's probably fine. Enjoy the BD fest!
Chantal - Wow! I didn't realize you were back in the game already! COOL! I hope the clomid works for you.

I leave for Chicago on Sunday so this cycle was likely a bust. I'm not sure if I should get a provera prescription or just keep waiting it out.

Amanda

Unless my temps take a sudden turn upwards this cycle is done. I am just waiting for AF to show. I feel her pains...Oddly enough I am ok with this.

Amanda and Melissa :hug99:


Nothing happening here... still waiting for the phonecall about a job offer for Dh :(

If he does get the job - and I dont get preg this cycle... we will be putting ttc on hold until we move, and I get a job/or get my daycare running up there. THEN we will return to ttc again. I think that it's more likely that I will find work outside the home and put Kaitlyn in daycare/Montessori.

Anyhow... not that any of this has to to with ttc'ing :lol:

Suzanne ~ my LP is 13-14 days. So I dont think that 12-13 days is too short. But then again, LP is not something that has ever come up with my specialist, as he seemed fine with a 13-14 LP length.

Thanks for the input everyone, I did some reading on FF last night and I think my LP is fine. Clutching at straws as I want this to be 'THE' cycle we conceive then baby would be due on DH's birthday.

Melissa - Sorry about the temp drop.
Chantal - Sounds like you have alot going on!
Suzanne - That would be cool!

No news... My temp went up a bit today but I think that was due to a screwy sleep and not anything exciting.

Amanda

:updown: ok am cd2 as of sunday 10th HSG hoepfully for Friday the 15th gotta book tomorrow :up:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Suzanne!
Rachel - Good luck with the HSG. Make sure you take some pain medicine before the test (I don't know what the ibuprofen equivilent is called in Australia!).

Amanda

No O yet. I leave for Chicago this afternoon. Oh well.

Amanda

Happy Birthday, Suzanne!!:party2: :cake: :drink:while you can hahhahhahahhah!

Amanda, where in Chicago are you going to and for how long?
I'm right here in the suburbs!! :)

Rachel, good luck!:justahug:

HI! Can I join? I am on CD 13 right now, first month off BCPs. I started to chart, then quit. Guess I'm not much of a charter:lol: I did buy a OPK and used it yesterday and today, but nothing yet. Anyway, just wanted to say hi.

Kelly

AF showed up this morning. Back to square 1. :lol:

Good Luck Rachel

Amanda sorry about O not showing up in time

Melissa :bighug: sorry about AF

Thanks for the birthday wishes :)

Have a good trip, Amanda. Maybe that O will wait until you get back :)

Welcome, Kelly!

Melissa, sorry about stupid AF showing up....no tact! :hug99:

How are you doing, Nocona? It's down to days or hours, eh? We'll be thinking of you :)

Doing good. Still hanging in there. Still wondering if I'll go overdue again :lol:

Thanks guys. I am really ok with it, oddly.

Nocona, how will I know when Sara is making her arrival? I guess I should sub to your journal. I hope Sara doesn't stay in much longer!!

ok HSG is all a goer, booked for 10:30am FRiday morn. :tmi: but is it real messy the dye etc, see I have to drive 2 hours to have it done and hope to do a few things in town before I head home. Is it the sought of thing where I should arrange to go to IL's and have shower???

I had one done in February and it wasn't at all bad. I was on the tail end of AF (a little spotting) and I was fine with just a pad. I also didn't experience the cramping everyone warned me about. It could have been the 800mg. IB I took or the fact that I rarely, if ever, get cramps during AF. :dunno: Just bring a pad (or a few) and maybe some wipes to clean up (they gave me something, but I don't know if every place does.

Hi, can I join in? My name is lizzie. I'm on cd 20 but haven't been actively trying this month so there is no chance! I'm charting to see how it all works at the minute and will probably start ttc in the next cycle.

:welcome: Lizzie

Welcome, Lizzie!!!

Thank you!! Here is my chart for you to include. I've had some pretty screwy temps in the first half of my cycle but it seems to settle in the second half. I've just not got into the habit of taking temps at the same time everyday yet so that's might be why?

http://www2.fertilityfriend.com/home/9d9ac

just subbing.....not much happening in this neck of the woods....started :brow: in the buildup to O this Friday, otherwise same old same old!

I am so sorry Melissa!!:hug1: Thinking of you!!

I am on CD 17 and I am having some dull pain in my lower back and on my front sides??? Anyone else experience this. It was getting REALLY uncomfortable so I finally took some tylenol and that helped a little.
oh, and I took clomid day 3-7

Hey Lizzie! Welcome.

My temp went up a bit but I don't know if it's O or not. I guess only time will tell.

Amanda

Thanks Amanda. I am ok with it.

Go ahead and start boinking for good measure..

Soo, OPK question: Took another one today and the line was lighter than the control line after 3 minutes. Closer to 10 minutes it was the same color. Which reading do I use? This is my first experience with an OPK and it's kinda confusing!

Kelly - I've always been frustrated with OPKs. It's hard to know if that's a + or not.

FF gave me an O on Sunday. So I'm now 3DPO. We BD'ed late Sat night so I guess there's still a chance...

Great news, Amanda!!

:crossfing Amanda!!

I am CD 2 today. We're more OTL than TAB now and I have an RE appointment on May 20th :pray:

Amanda - fingers crossed for you.

Has anyone ever tried a saliva microscope to predict O? I tried one (on the cycle before last) but I only got ferning 5 days before ovulation and nothing else. Kinda confused me. Can any of you shed any light on this? Am I doing it wrong?

Thanks all!
Andrea - Sorry about AF but hope the RE appt goes well.
Lizzie - I've never used the saliva microscope.

Amanda

Hope your appointment goes well Andrea! Well, my OPK has NO line today, so I guess I'm just waiting it out now!

Lizzie - I used a saliva microscope for one cycle. I think it was confusing because you can't really see the whole thing. I did see alot of partial ferning but very little full ferning. And I know I o'd because I got pregnant.

Maybe if I used it for more than one cycle it would have become less confusing.

Thanks girls.

Amanda, actually getting AF is a GOOD thing. It's the first time in, hmmm I can't even remember how long, a year maybe? since I got AF on my own. Of course I just refilled my provera prescription. :lol: At least it's only $5 right?!?

Andrea - great news!!
Brooke - thanks for your thoughts, I think the manufacturers overhype the microscopes!

Has anyone had CM during the 2ww? I haven't had a ton but it's definitely been there and I'm worried that it means I didn't really O.

Amanda

Amanda I hope all that CM is a good sign.

I'm getting ready to tire out my DH with the every other day routine :awink:

Thanks Suzanne. My temp was back to below baseline this am so I suspect my change in temperature was due to my trip and not actually an O.

Thanks all! My temp was still below baseline today so I suspect no O. At least I'll be going home tomorrow so I didn't miss Oing by going on this trip! Tom made an appt for me to see a new RE on May 2nd so that's good.

Thank you, Melissa, for updating while I'm indisposed!

:woo: Good luck Nocona!!!! :woo: ELV all the way for you :)


Here... not much happening... waiting to O on Sunday, I hope. I have to go back and read my journal from last October when I last ovulated. So far my temps are mimicking the exact same pattern as that ONE cycle that was ovulatory. :crossfing

So far, I am not having any twinges or anything. Actually, I am treating a Y.I :down:

Hopefully Dh can smarten up and make me feel like wanting :sex: starting on Thursday. (Thurs, Sat, Sun, Mon to be exact :lol: )

Not a problem Nocona!! ;) Enjoy your baby girl when she arrives.

:pteddy: OOO Nocona, how exciting!! have a quick and safe delivery, and enjoy your baby girl!:suck:

Good luck Nocona!!!

Chantal - hope you get your O on Sunday.

Chantal, :crossfing for O soon........ what did DH do that he needs to "smarten up"now LOL?

Is it bad that I had to get on here to find out what CD I was on ???? :tongue2: So I am thinking of testing on Thursday which would be CD 27 and I have the early response pg test. Is that too early?? I am cautiously optimistic.. I am having some soreness in my breasts and some heartburn so we shall see. :crossfing

Good luck Nocona!!!! Sooo... exciting!!!!

Dori, how many days past O will you be on Thursday?

Dori I do it ALL THE TIME :blush:

Dori, how many days past O will you be on Thursday?

I don't have a clue! I quit temping and charting because then I think about it too much and stress out. So we just have sex as often as possible and hope for the best. I tested this morning and it was a BFN. I am losing a little hope. The tendnerness in my breasts is gone.. so we shall see.

Good luck on thursday Dori!

Dori, don't lose hope yet...BFN could turn into a BFP:nod:

When I charted on Fertility Friend, it was really quite simple.....and I did temp at different times of the morning...sometines 6:30, sometimes 9.....it still detects a pattern pretty good.. But if you don't want to do it, then wait as long as you can ( I know I know much easier said than done) to test..

Good luck Nocona!
Dori - Fingers crossed!
Jolene - Hooray for O!

I have no idea what's going on with me. My temps are all of the place but I'm starting to question my thermometer. My 1st temp this morning was 96.8. I got up and did a few things (nothing strenous) and re-check it and it was 97.98. I know that the 2nd temp doesn't count but I find it hard to believe that my temp went up that much in a short period of time?

Amanda

Amanda - that is one of the reasons I quit temping.. because my temp seemed to be everywhere. And I bought a BBT thinking that would be more accurate. I would take it and it would be 97 and then take it 10 minutes later and it would be like 98.2. So I gave up.

Well, thank you for all the prayers and luck everyone! I appreciate it. I feel more tenderness this afternoon and I am so so tired. I should wait as long as possible to test because when I was prego with Lauren it took a little longer than normal for me hormone level to rise. My sister had the same problem. Just trying to stay optimistic.

:crossfing for you, Dori!! Keep us posted :) I hope this is it for you :)

Sounds great Dori!
I feel like AF is coming. I can't make any sense of my chart but I feel very crampy.

Hooray for another successful graduate of this group (well done Nacky!) and another baby in our midst (welcome Sara!)

:woo: :jump2: CONGRATS NOCONA!!!! :jump2::woo:
:woo::jump2:Welcome Sara!!! :jump2: :woo:

CONGRATS Nocona!!!!

Amanda

I am predicting that O is going to happen in the next 48 hours. Mittelshmertz have happened effective an hour ago :dead: I do believe that I am going to ovulate out of my right ovary - which is the ovary that I successfully ovulated from back in October. :crossfing that I pop out a good solid strong eggie and Dh's swimmers can make their way to her.

I think I will O earlier than usual... If I go by old charts - I should expect O to happen on Sunday... however - with it being Wednesday today and I am getting the ovulation pains already... I suspect that O will happen by Friday. :pray: that Dh can come around and appeal to me soon :lol:

Fingers crossed Chantal!

I need advice. According to FF I'm 10DPO. I'm not sure I believe that completely. My temps have been all over the place and I kinda think it's my thermometer (it's a BBT but a cheapy store brand one and I've noticed wild fluctuations even if I take my temp twice in a row). I'm not even sure I O'ed at all. It would be strange for me to get AF without Oing unless I take provera (I don't think that's ever happened - I'm more likely to go months without AF). Since Sunday I've had strange AF-like cramping. I've also had faint spotting. Sorry for TMI but it's like having a small amt of blood in my CM rather than spotting. Of course, I want to be PG so I keep hoping this is all a good sign (but past history would make that unlikely). I don't want to test and get another BFN. I'm going to a new RE on May 2nd. I'm also driving myself completely crazy. I've started wearing pads b/c I keep thinking AF is coming but then nothing.
Should I just test? But what do I do if it's BFN? Do I keep testing until I drive myself even more crazy? Should I wait a few more days to test? Not test at all until May 2nd?

Amanda

Amanda... I say wait another couple of days, and then test. It's better to know if its bfp or not - than have to continue stewing over it... kwim? :hug99:

FF has given me coverline and O days on both of my most recent annovulatory cycles - which TOTALLY sucked :( I see that your temps fluctuate pretty good, other than the 3 temps post Fertility Friend O-date. Maybe your body tried to ovulate, but an eggie wasnt actually released? At least, thats what happened with me -- my body tried, I got my + OPK's but no O really happened.

INFERTILITY SUCKS!

Thanks Chantal! My temps have really been all over the place and not helped at all by my travelling to Chicago for a week and keeping weird hours. The strange thing is that I've never had this weird spotting before so I'm not sure what that's all about. I suspect this is just a long anovulatory cycle but I have O'ed this late before....

Amanda

Chantal, good luck!!!! Happy BDing :brow:

Amanda, tough call on testing....it's one of those things-you drive yourself crazy not testing, but if you test too early, disappointment, too....I would say wait as long as you can....but easier said than done, i know.... I would agree with Chantal, make yourself wait at least a couple of days, and then test if you must..............

Dori good luck, I would hold out testing a bit longer if you can :crossfing

Amanda it would be so cool if that spotting was implantation, wait a few more days if you can and then test

Chantal I hope you and your DH get some alone time together :awink:

As for me Ithink I will probably O today, we got in some action last night so now I live in hope for a BFP.

Chantal: Have fun!! ;)

Amanda: I agree with everyone else. I know how bad it sucks to wait..but wait as long as you can. Wait until after AF is supposed to arrive and test if the heifer doesn't! :hug99: I don't deal with infertility but I can definitely feel your pain!! Hang in there sweetie!! It will happen!!

Suzanne: :crossfing for you!! I hope this is it!!

As for me..well it is :sex: for dh and I. According to my charts I should be O'ing soon. I have been having light crampy feelings today. I plan to attack dh from tonight until the end of the weekend!! Wish us luck!!! I sure hope this one counts! :lol:

Thanks everyone! Since I have no idea when AF might come, I'm not sure what to do. Maybe I'll just wait until my RE appt on May 2nd.

Amanda

hahah Melissa, happy boinking!!!!

Hi Amanda.
You possibly could have O'd on CD31, there seems to be a slight change in how erratic your temps are from that point on, but it's so hard to tell. Maybe waiting is the best idea so you don't waste a test. :dunno: Good luck on May 2!

:wavey: Morning everyone!

The most interesting thing happened to me last night... yesterday I started getting twinges in my right ovary - so I figured my right ovary is going to be the "egg blaster" this cycle. Well, last night I had reflexology done -- and the therapist said that he could "feel more" in my right ankle (area where the ovary is affected) and REALLY worked on that spot for a while! I had him double over in laughter when I begged him to just spend the next 45minutes working on that spot on both feet :lol: (left and right ovaries ;) )

We discussed my infertility problem - he said he would be interested in meeting with me for a consult for naturopathic treatment if I dont get pregnant this cycle. He figures it's the acne treatments I had as a teen that have led to my IF issues. Also, he told me that my weight is NOT as big a factor as it's being made out to be... that I am just causing myself unnecessary stress by worrying about loosing weight to conceive. He told me he is not trying to say that the Doctors are idiots... he actually was impressed by how they have been treating my PCOS and all... but he feels that I would benefit from using natural remidies, in addition to my Clomid treatment. If this cycle is a bust (which I hope its not) I am CERTAINLY going to jump on board with this guy... cause at this point - I am willing to try ANYTHING to get pregnant that doesnt involve needles and more drugs ;)


I go back in 2 weeks for a neck/shoulder/back massage... HEAVEN! The therapist was surprised at how "stiff" everything is in my neck. I am not surprised by that, as I suffer from VERY frequent headaches, esp tension ones :rolleyes:

Anyhow... hopefully the ankle rubs will help my eggie show up this cycle ;) :crossfing

Thanks Brooke! Maybe I'll have my progesterone taken (an advantage to working at a hospital) and then see. If my progesterone is low, I didn't O and I might as well start provera soon (it takes about a week to get the blood results anyway). If my progesterone is high, I'll wait to test.
I'm realizing that I'm letting the TTCing stress ruin my life and my happiness so I'm going to try to take a more mellow view of things.

Amanda

Well I tested yesterday (I am so impatient) and it was a BFN. That was CD 26. I don't have any more tests and I am having a blood test done tomorrow so I will just wait for that. I go to the doctor on Tuesday. I really don't think I am though. :(

Chantal that is great!! Hopefully he helped to release a happy eggie!! :crossfing for you

Chantal, rubs do sound soooo good.......... good luck with that!!

Dori, :crossfing for the blood test tomorrow.....

Chantal - We must have been posting at the same time. That sounds great!
Dori - Sorry about the BFN. Good luck with the blood test.

I had my junior resident draw blood. I'm doing a progesterone and a pregnancy test. The progesterone won't come back for nearly a week so I can't say I'm definitely not pregnant until that comes back.

Amanda

Amanda, wishing you best of luck with the test.....Waiting sucks, doesn't it?

I don't think the pregnancy test will be positive but I'm curious to see the progesterone level. That will take several days to come back but if it's low, I can start provera.

Amanda

I hope your test comes back the way you want it!

I'm CD5. Starting Clomid today :crossfing

Dori, I'm sorry about the BFN.

Amanda ~ :crossfing for high progesterone levels... I have my test done a week from today (aka next Friday).

Marcy ~ GOOD LUCK with Clomid :) Is this your first cycle with the med? If you have any questions - feel free to PM me... I have been "clomidified" many times now :lol:

Dori ~ :crossfing that your Dr appt goes well. :hug99:


BB's are quite tender since about mid-afternoon yesterday... I am REALLY :pray: that it means O will soon be here. My temps have hit their pre-o stage... now if they can just start to surge in the next couple of days --- I will be happy ;) Dh and I have found our happy place and :sex: is happening :lol:

I am so glad that you and DH have found your happy place Chantal. It's very important while TTCing. :lol: Happy bding..

Chantal, yes, this is my first time with Clomid. I'm nervous, and excited. Thanks for offering to answer any questions that I have.

Sounds like good signs for you.

CD20 1DPO today :crossfing

Marcy - Good luck with clomid.
Chantal - Fingers crossed for you!
Suzanne - HOORAY!

BFN and low progesterone. I didn't even O. I'll start provera on Monday...

Amanda

Amanda - I feel your pain! :hug99:

Got the the blood test done today and it came back negative. And no AF so I didn't even ovulate. :banghead: Lets hope 150mg of clomid does something! I just don't understand why 50mg worked with Lauren and now, nothing! :scratch:

:hug99: Dori same here. 2nd round of clomid to get PG with Gab and the first round was just bad timing since John wasn't home when I Oed. 4 rounds this time and NOTHING :(

Andrea - I know that feeling!
I started provera today.

Amanda

Got the the blood test done today and it came back negative. And no AF so I didn't even ovulate. :banghead: Lets hope 150mg of clomid does something! I just don't understand why 50mg worked with Lauren and now, nothing! :scratch:

Dori... I conceived with no problems on my 3rd cycle of 100mg of Clomid. Even the 2nd cycle at 100mg, I ovulated - but we missed the eggie. This time... its been 5 cycles - and I only ovulated on the 2nd cycle... at a 100mg dose spread over 8 days, instead of 5. :duh: :grr:

Mittelshmerz is done... thank GOD - cause last night I could swear that an 18 wheeler had parked itself on my ovaries.

NOW, this friday is my progesterone blood test... it will determine for sure if I suffered for a good reason or not. If it shows that I have been annovulatory AGAIN - then I am going to request that my specialist do an ultrasound when I am having those ovary pains - just to see what is really happening in there. It's beginning to really piss me off.

So - for now... I just :pray: that my temps start to rise and I can get an O day from FF and Ovusoft. Not that I put much faith in either of them - given that my last 2 annovulatory cycles - they said I ovulated, and I didnt. :rolleyes: Oh well... I would, however, like to see my temps SHOOT right up :) Then I would know without much doubt what took place ;) Dh and I have managed to cover our :sex: bases very well this time around too ;)

I'm hoping for you Chantal!
I had some spotting last night. I thought it was AF but it seems to have stopped so I'll keep taking the provera and wait for the real AF to come.

Amanda

Well, I tested this morning. Being the patient person I am, I took it, nothing happened for a minute so I went and ate breakfast. I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I came back 20 minutes later and there was a 2nd line. So, I don't know weather it appeared within the 10 minute window or is an evap line! Grrr! I don't know much about evap line, do they happen within 20 minutes of the test or do they take longer to appear? Guess i'll have to wait until tommorow to know the truth!

Well... both ovusoft AND fertility friend have me down as ovulating on Friday. Eh... I am not about to start laying bets on that just yet - as my post-o temps are pretty mellow. I need to see the temp rise by another .2C to feel more comfy about all of this - esp given that my 2 annovulatory cycles were both deemed "ovulatory" by those programs - only because my temp did rise a smidge... but not enough to get all hyped over. Kwim? SO... onto tomorrow mornings temperature ;) Been there, done that so many times now - that I am desensitized to it all.

Kelly - I would just retest. If it is a bfp - then you should see that 2nd line within the time frame noted on the package. Good luck!!!!

Amanda ~ oh how frustrating when that happens :hug99:

Melissa ~ can you put me at 4 DPO today :)

Done! :)

Thanks :) btw... no chat this morning? ;)

I'm at home..not feeling well.. actually heading back to bed. I will sign on this afternoon and we can chat!! I think you need someone to talk to!! :bighug:

Wow Kelly! Many many congrats to you!!

Ps. Melissa, can you put me down as CD8 today. Thanks.

Congratulations Kelly :biggrin:

Sure thing..What is your name?

Sorry my pseudonym is different. It's Lizzie. I think you already have me down as CD35 right now.

Gottcha. I'll change it right now.

Kelly, congratulations!

Chantal, hoping your results Monday are good.

Kelly - CONGRATS!
Chantal - HOORAY for O!

I'm in major stress-out mode. Probably not helping my fertility (infertility?) issues at all...

Not getting my hopes up till Monday, when I get my bloodwork results back :crossfing :pray:


Should the results come back telling me that YES I HAVE ovulated --- my test day will be Mothers Day :) How's that for a wonderful gift ;)

What an awesome Mother's Day present!!

Well I went to the doctor yesterday and got 150mg of clomid and provera. We leave for Ireland for the summer on Friday so I am waiting until we get over there and see DH flying schedule before I start the provera. I want to make sure he doesn't have any week long trips away or something. He very rarely does, like once every six months, but I don't want to take the chance. So I guess you can put me down as "in limbo"!! ;) My dr. said he will go up to 200mg.. but my sister said the makers of clomid don't suggest that??? Anybody have any words of wisdom????

Dori... my specialist said that he doesnt go over 100mg. However, he does lenghthen the time you take it. Right now, I take 100mg for 8 days instead of 5. But if in 4 months I am not pregnant - I am done with Clomid altogether. :(


Good luck :)

Dori - I've never taken more than 150mg.

Chantal - Fingers crossed!

Amanda

my doctor also didn't want to go over 150 so she sent me to an RE. I'll let you know what the RE has to say in a few weeks.

My friend took 150mg, but her dr wouldn't go any higher than that.

Thanks for the the insight ladies!! I don't think I will go over 150... if it doesn't work this month I will just try that for a few months. He said when I get back from Ireland in September I can try the shots if I still need to. Let's hope I don't!!

That sounds like a good plan, Dori. I hope you have a good trip!

Amanda

Dori - I have heard from other ladies, that the injectibles are much less harsh than the Clomid, in the way of side effects. Hopefully, you won't need them though :)

As for me... :banana: :woo: I hit 37.0C this morning! Talk about a temp rise in the last few days :pray: that it means a :bfp: on Mothers Day ;) Also, I am anxious to get the results back from Dr Reid on Monday - just to see how "big" my ovulation was... ie: possible multi-egg release :faint:

:wow: my temp shot up this morning!! :crossfing

:woo: Melissa!!!!!!! :banana:

Btw - I am 6 dpo today :) Your list shows I am at 5 dpo. :blush: Sorry to be picky.

Sheeshh..picky picky picky. :) I changed it. ;)

HOORAY for Oing! Fingers crossed Chantal and Melissa.

Amanda

De-lurking from my miserable m/s state to say fingers crossed for you, Chantal and Melissa................

Melissa and Chantal, looks good!

In the words of Frank Barone... "Whooooooooollllllly crap!!!!!!"


:banana: :jump2: :crossfing :pray:

Blood test this morning - results TBA Monday morning sometime :) I am pretty confident that I have ovulated, now to get that Progesterone level result back to see how great I ovulated :crossfing

It's the WEIRDEST thing... this cycle... I feel alot of "symptoms" but they arent exciting me. I could very easily get really excited about everything that is going on - but I am calm. TOTALLY not like me :lol: Usually I would be freaking out. But I guess, seeing that constant rise in temp has been reassuring enough, that I dont need the other symptoms to make me realize that my body FINALLY has done what it is meant to do - ovulate. Thats the other thing - I am more focused on just ovulating this cycle... than worrying about whether or not I am pregnant. :crazy: Crazy eh? :lol:

Lyshoka: Hope to join your miserable state soon ;)

Amanda and Marcy: Thanks :)

Jolene: GREAT looking chart :) I see that you are at 13dpo and last cycle your temp had dropped by this DPO - but not this time ;) GOOD LUCK!

:woo: Chantal! Good luck on Monday!!

Good luck Chantal and Melissa - I've all crossables crossed for you!

Chantal~thanks, I'm like a cat on a hot tin roof!!! I think the Clomid has resulted in enough progesterone to extend my luteal phase, and now I'm just hoping that that means something else is happening thereabouts instead! I got a BFN today, so am hoping if my temps are still reasonable on Sunday I'll test again....of course, that would mean holding out tomorrow.....

Blood test DONE! :banana: I might call my specialist late this afternoon and see if just MAYBE the results came in ;) His office is in the same hospital as the blood lab where I have my test done. All the information is put into a database as soon as the lab completes the test. So "maybe" given that I was the first one there this morning to have blood drawn - and my test is a very simple and easy one... that the result might be posted before closing today :crossfing

Melissa ~ Hmmmmm implantation dip??? ;)

I was thinking so Chantal..trying not to get excited. I will not be doing any testing until Mothers Day.

I hope they post your results so you can get them today!!! That would be great!!! :crossfing

:wavey: HI everyone...


I managed to get my blood test results in... I wont post the whole whacky story here as I managed to hijack a thread in the Feb 2002 and earlier thread with the gory details :lol: Anyhow, suffice it to say that I managed to learn that my Progesterone level was a nice 62.3 :) Confirming ovulation :woo:

I have decided that test day will be on Saturday - not Sunday, Mothers day. I think that its best to test a day earlier in case I get a :bfn: then I can spend the day wallowing in misery BEFORE I spend Mothers Day with Kaitlyn. (Dh has to go into work that day, around noonish :rolleyes: ).

Its funny cause even though I got great results from the Dr's office - I am still very calm and reserved about this cycle. I think that it's due in great part to the fact that I have been more focused on wanting my body to WORK and ovulate, than worrying about getting pregnant. Kwim? Dont get me wrong... I obviously WANT to see a :bfp: next weekend... but I am calmed by the fact that I had a beautiful and strong ovulation this cycle :) after having suffered 3 annovulatory outcomes last fall and early winter.

Btw... my specialist looks for a level of 15 or greater to confirm ovulation... my level represents what a "normal woman" should be at in about her 4th month of pregnancy ;) All this means, is that my chances of having an early m/c due to progesterone deficiency, are lessened :)

Good news, Chantal! Congratulations on O!!! Fingers crossed for your test next weekend :)

Look now she's coming to hijack this one to!! :lol2: Seriously Chantal you know I am praying for you. Next weekend is going to be a big one for both of us!! :hug99:

Melissa ~ that is, if we can hold out until next weekend ;) :lol:

Thanks everyone :hug99:

OMG Chantal! That's great news!!!
Melissa and Jolene - I'm crossing everything for you both!

I'm still wallowing in self-pity. It's just been such a rough few months for us. I have my appt with the new RE on Monday.

Amanda

Great news, Chantal!!!!

:hug99: I hope Monday goes well, Amanda.

Thanks Nocona!

Amanda

Good luck on Monday Amanda! :hug99:

hey ya'll...can I join ya here too? I'm CD1 and here is my chart http://www2.fertilityfriend.com/home/85e54

Good luck Monday Amanda :)

:wavey: Welcome over here to Christi ;)

I slept 12 hours last night (other than waking up to take my temp at my set time) :faint: Also, It wouldnt take much to convince me or anyone else that I am coming down with a flu bug. I feel SO nauseated today and have a headache and just want to crawl into a ball and sleep :( I hope that my 2 temp dips simply mean implantation. I didnt get dips at all in my last ovulatory cycle :crossfing

:bighug: to everyone!

Crap Jolene :( Just looked at your chart :hug99: So sorry :(

Amanda ~ :hug99: The provera worked right away for you this time :) Good luck with this upcoming cycle :) great timing for your new RE to take action ;) Kwim?

Thanks Chantal! Maybe we'll finally have some good luck!

Amanda

I am so sorry Amanda! I hope next cycle is better. :hug99:

Melissa - Could you make today CD1 for me instead of yesterday? I was really only spotting yesterday so I think today is really CD1. Thanks!
Think good thoughts for my appt today!

Amanda

Good Luck today Amanda

Hey Amanada--good luck for your appt!

:banana: Wheeeeee... temp back up this am :banana:

I had the craziest night trying to sleep. I woke up at 4am - totally ready to :puke: and noticed that I was holding my thermometer in my hand :crazy: I ended up drinking some water and finally being able to go back into a nice deep sleep. I am sure that I will be good and :tired: come naptime today. Thankfully I only have Rachel and PJ today and tomorrow - then I have little Abby in that mix Wed/Thurs and Rachel/PJ combo for Friday. I dont have the other 2 on Mon/Tues this week :)

So - only 5 days to test :pray: that my temps stay up for that duration ;)

Looking REALLY good, Chantal~!!

Thanks everyone :hug99:



CRAZINESS. My phone just rang... it was Dr Reids nurse :lol: She said that Dr Reid asked her to call me and confirm that YES I DID ovulate at a level of 62.4 :banana: She also said that he wants me to wait till CD 40 (meaning NEXT weekend) to take an HPT. I told her that AF is due on Saturday, given that my LP is always 15 days on a Clomid cycle -- so she said "I dont blame you if you cant wait till next weekend." :lol: Then she told me to call the office Monday morning right away, if I get a BFP - so they can get in a requisition for a blood draw to check HCG.


:crossfing :pray:

:banana: :woo: I am so freaking happy for you Chantal!! I hope this is it for you!!!!

Chantal- How exciting!!!!! Good luck.

Amanda-Hope the appt. went well.

CD 4 here for me. I'm doing Clomid this month...we'll see if it works.

GREAT news Chantal!
Erica - Fingers crossed!

The good news is that I had a GREAT appt today! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this new doctor! And for many of the same reasons that I had problems with my old place. He totally believes in individualizing care. You're not just on some protocol. He makes ALL the decisions about your cycle. And he had several question marks about some of the things that were done to me in the past (the same ones I had, too). He's willing to work around my schedule, too. His office staff is nice and friendly. It's also a bit closer to work than the old place.
Here's the plan: I'm starting femara on CD 3 (Wednesday night). I take femara CD 3-7. Monday I go in for a sono. If I'm not making adequate follicles, we'll add injections. Then I'll do a trigger shot and an IUI.
I'm actually feeling positive about this!

Amanda

That is great news Amanda!! I will keep you in my prayers!!

Sweeeeeeet, Amanda :) Hopefully it will only take this ONE cycle to get your :bfp: This new Dr sounds fantastic :crossfing

Amanda your appt sound like it went really well.

Chantal~ I'm really keeping all my crossables crossed for you - I hope this is it!!! :biggrin:
Oh, and it was great to hear about your luteal phase with clomid - I also got a fully 14 days (woohoo! that's phenomenally long for me!) so I'm hoping that it means the rest of the equation comes together soon!

Amanda~ amazing what a difference a nicer doctor makes!! You sound really positive, and I'm hoping this is it for you too!!!

Melissa~thanks for updating my stats:bighug:

Thanks everyone! We have a great new attitude in my house!

Amanda

:doh: Temp dipped this morning. I adjusted my 2 low temps from the other day - as I did take the temp 40min earlier than usual... so I added .1C. I feel stupid adjusting my temps :( It looks a bit better - but I am stil confused by this morning's temp. I slept well - the only difference is that I was wearing a nightshirt, and last night I had 2pc pyjamas on. Planning on wearing a nightshirt till the end of this cycle :screwy: otherwise I am going to :banghead: with every AM temp.


My chart still looks good...and I am VERY proud of myself... I fought with the idea of testing this morning --- but resisted ;) Still not 100% confident in what I am seeing. Sounds but my last ovulatory chart was "textbook" for pregnancy - and well... we all remember that one... temp dove on the day AF was due (15 DPO). :mope: Don't need to have a repeat of that letdown ;)

Anyhow... won't know whats up till tomorrow - as usual :rolleyes: Goin' nuts over here. :help:

Thanks everyone! We have a great new attitude in my house!

Amanda

:hug99: That makes a WORLD of difference :)

How's that for a gigantic spike? I don't trust that temp though. My nose is very stuffy and I think I am getting sicker.

Looks GREAT Melissa!

As for me, it's CD 22 and I am STILL bleeding :banghead: AF hasn't let up one bit in 3 weeks. I called my Ob/Gyn and she put me on provera 1x day for 2 weeks then I go in for an endometrial biopsy on the 19th (and see the RE on the 20th). FUN FUN FUN :rolleyes:

UGh... sorry Andrea :( Have you had your thyroid checked? I had AF for 10 months straight... and it was due to an imbalance with my thyroid. :hug99:


Melissa ~ great spike ;)

I think so, but honestly with all the tests they've done on me the past few years, I can't be positive :lol:

Oh Andrea!! I hope AF goes away soon!!!

It will when I start the provera. I guess she's just making up for all those months I skip :lol:

:lol:

How's that for a gigantic spike? I don't trust that temp though. My nose is very stuffy and I think I am getting sicker.
Way to go, Melissa! It looks so good.....keeping fingers crossed for you!

Chantal, implantation dip, maybe?

Chantal, implantation dip, maybe?

:crossfing I just hope my temp rises tomorrow... or I will be certifiable by then :crazy:

Andrea - Sorry about the AF issues.
Chantal and Melissa - Crossing everything there is to cross!

AF is kicking my butt but I'm ok with that. I just picked up my femara prescription and I'll start tomorrow night.

Amanda

Good luck with Femara, Amanda :) That was to be my next step if we couldnt get the Clomid to get my body moving in the next few months :) Apparently Femara is stronger than Clomid. :) I found that interesting when he told me about it. Hope you are successful on your first round :crossfing

Andrea I hope AF lets up soon

Amanda good luck with the femara

Chantal :crossfing that your temp goes up tomorrow.

As for me I have pre AF cramping but no pre AF spotting yet. I'm going to be a nervous wreck everytime I go the toilet.:crazy:

ETA that pre af spotting has found me :( so no BFP for me this mothers day.

I'm sorry Suzanne. That stinks!
Chantal - I know that femara is different from clomid but I hadn't heard it was stronger.

Amanda

Amanda... from how he described it to me... it's more effective than Clomid - as it completely blocks the estrogen in your system... versus the Clomid that just reduces the estrogen levels. Estrogen affects ovulation.


Suzanne :bighug: So sorry :(

Suzanne, sorry to hear about AF....:hug99:

Chantal - Interesting. Thanks for the info!
I start my femara tonight.

Amanda

:crossfing for you Amanda :)

*wiping brow* WHEW... temp is back up this morning :banana: Ovusoft (if I change the O day to match FF software) tells me that "today is a good day to take a Home Pregnancy Test" :lol: Little do they know that I dont plan on it until the weekend). :crossfing

Good Luck Amanda!

Chantal that is great that temps went back up.

Mine shot up this morning. I hope it's not the sickness doing this!!

Chantal and Melissa, both of your charts look sooooo good!!!!!!!!! ooooO!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, you go girls! You may get a triphasic if that keeps up, Melissa. I would have so peed on a stick by now if I were both of you :lol:

I would but my LP is usually 14-15 days and I don't want to see a bfn!! KWIM? :lol: I am staying strong!!!

I would but my LP is usually 14-15 days and I don't want to see a bfn!! KWIM? :lol: I am staying strong!!!

DITTO that one!!!! word for word :) My lp is ALWAYS 15 days when I ovulate. My last ovulatory cycle - well I was SO SURE that it was going to end up being :bfp: ... had all the textbook temps, even went triphasic. Then on my 15th DPO - WHAM... temp hit rock bottom and AF started that evening. So - really and truly, I am not ready to test before I see my 15 DPO temp. :)

I changed my test day to Monday... sorry :blush: But you see, I have ALWAYS ovulated on CD 18... always when on Clomid. So - with that, and the fact that Ovusoft is determined that my O day wasnt till CD 18... I decided to shift my O day at FF to reflect the same chart. Less crap to have on my mind yanno ;) and this way... I can enjoy Mothers Day weekend too ;) Yeah, I am :screwy:, I know ;) :lol:

Also, *if* I have just had implantation happen... isn't it best to wait a few days post implantation to test anyhow? I just dont want to jump the gun and get a :bfn: and have one more thing on my mind to stew about :)

This chart has been the most wonky one post O. The soaring temp... the up and down after my soaring temp peaked... Its just all too weird. Weird enough for me to hold back on being confident in it. Oh well... many years of letdowns make me this way.

Oh and also.... IF implantation occured yesterday with that dip... there wont be enough HCG in my blood to read on a test anyhow at this point... still need to wait a few days ;)

An egg is normally fertilized by a sperm cell in a fallopian tube (http://javascript<b></b>:AddNavBar('../health_guide_atoz/stf124085.asp');). Within nine days after fertilization (http://javascript<b></b>:PopupLink('../health_guide_atoz/tp13143.asp');)http://a876.g.akamai.net/7/876/1448/v00001/images.webmd.com/images/hw/media64/interface/camera.gif</IMG> (http://javascript<b></b>:PopupLink('../health_guide_atoz/tp13143.asp');), the fertilized egg moves down the fallopian tube into the uterus and attaches (implants) to the uterine wall. Once the fertilized egg implants, the developing placenta begins releasing hCG into your blood. Some hCG also gets passed in your urine. HCG can be detected in the blood before the first missed menstrual period, as early as six days after implantation.

I totally agree with Nocona, I would have been at my wit's end by now......BUT, I do understand why you would want to wait, and it IS better........so I commend you both for being strong and sticking it out!!! Way to go, girlies!

So I guess you want me to change your CD dates now huh? :lol: Man what a pain!!! :lol:

So I guess you want me to change your CD dates now huh? :lol: Man what a pain!!! :lol:
:catfight: Dont be messin' with the hormones woman! :lol: But yeah, go ahead and change that for me ;)

I would wait if I were you too, but not if I were me :lol:

:catfight: Dont be messin' with the hormones woman! :lol: But yeah, go ahead and change that for me ;)

:tongue2: I already did it!! :jester:

I would wait if I were you too, but not if I were me :lol:
HAHA:nod: ditto!!!

Stay strong Chantal and Melissa! I'm really hoping for some BFPs!!!
The 1st dose of femara went down the hatch...

Amanda

Crossing my fingers for everyone! Can't wait until Monday to see your results!!

Thanks everyone for the support :hug99:

Temp same today. Not much else to report. :lol: Had a back/shoulder/neck massage last night... it was deeeeeevine :)

I am going to go out this weekend and buy some Equate tests... I used them when I tested for Missy K - and I keep hearing rave reviews about them on FF and Ovusoft sites. :) :crossfing that they show me the result I am :pray: for :)

Amanda ~ :crossfing that the Femara doesn't bring side effects like Clomid :)

Looking good Chantal!! :crossfing

I had a major temp drop. Still above coverline. :dunno:

Very strange Melissa :confused: This chart sure is different from the last one eh? Hope that means great news for you ;)

It is very weird. I keep having hot flashes and this morning I thought for sure I was going to hurl. I still feel a bit puky and hot. I shouldn't be it's 64 this morning and there is not a heater on. :dunno: I will keep my hopes up until either AF symptoms start, temps drop below coverline or AF shows. :)

Chantal - Hoping for good things!
Melissa - I hope the temp drop was just a fluke.

No problems with femara yet.... Let's just hope it's working!

Amanda

Please send me some 37.1C or higher vibes for tomorrow morning :) Thanks!

Chantal - I'm sending them!

No news from me. Waiting for AF to go away so we can get busy. I have sono and blood work on Monday so fingers crossed for some follicle development.

Amanda

Temp went down again this morning :confused: This is NOTHING like my ovulatory chart from October. Don't know what to think.

:crossfing for great bloodwork and sono results Amanda :)

Temps are falling...I think this cycle is done. Stick a fork in her!

Poop Melissa :( Sorry.


Dh thinks that the reason my chart is so fricken different this cycle - is because I am going to have twins :faint: :lol:

Thanks :hug99: I just get to try again next month!

I am really confused with this cycle. I thought AF was on her way but the small amount of spotting was only on the TP once. I took a PT out of curiosity at work and it was a BFN, I don't have any PG symptoms so I guess AF is taking her time getting here this cycle. In the back of my mind though is the cycle I got PG with Dylan and how it took a very long time to show up a BFP. If AF hasn't shown in a week then I will go for a blood test

Sorry Melissa!
Still crossing everything Chantal and Suzanne!

My insurance won't cover my meds. Totally annoying! We found a good pharmacy with decent prices...

Amanda

Grrr.. that sucks Amanda :( Thankfully you're able to find that pharmacy.


Still sitting here :confused: about my cycle. Not sure what to make of it. Just when I think that it's time to just start timing the next cycle... I get nauseated, or get dizzy, or am hit with a wave of fatigue. It's all so :screwy: this cycle. FIGURES... my best EVER ovulation - and this is what I am handed post-O, chart-wise. :banghead:

Sorry about the frustration Chantal.

Amanda

I knew that the minute I mentioned AF being late on here she would show up :rolleyes: Started spotting again today, so I'm guessing tomorrow will be CD1 for me.

Kaitlyn graced us with her presence and HOUR before my normal temp time... I managed not to move and fall halfway back to sleep and temp 30min earlier than usual... temp went down :(

So, in my absolutely pissed off state... I go to the bathroom, take an HPT... "just to get rid of it" and well, within the 5 min timeframe... the absolute lightest, faintest of 2nd lines appear :faint: NOW -- DO NOT (please) start offering me up congratulations or anything like that. I will NOT retest until Monday... but given what my temps are doing... I have little confidence in what this cycle is going to bring me in the way of great news.

It has been 20 min since I took the FRER/hpt - and the line is barely visible. I doubt it is an evap line because it showed up before the max time limit for reading the stick, (appeared within the first 2 minutes). So... if anything, please :pray: and :crossfing for my HPT on Monday to be more clear.

I am getting sharp pains in my uterus area... I don't know if it's because I was so fricken upset and pissed off at seeing my temp go down or what. But like I said - retest on Monday ONLY.

1hr later... line has vanished. Any input? I am thinking that it's not going to happen this cycle. I know you dont read a test after 10min... but the line is not supposed to dissappear, right?

I have no idea. I will :pray: and :crossfing that it's trully +++ :hug99:
My cycle is done. Just waiting for AF to show.

Chantal - there have been alot of people on FF reporting disappearing lines on HPTs lately. I don't know what it means.

I'm sorry, Melissa.

fading line on FRER = shitty test and bfn.


My plan for next cycle - should Af appear on Tuesday.

~ NO temping
~ NO charting
~ take Clomid and Metformin as usual
~ reflexology therapy
~ CD 23 blood test
~ NO hpt until the AFTER CD 34.

Chantal, :crossfing for you....have a great Mother's day and let us know how things are looking on Monday :) Are you going to get more tests from the store this weekend?

Sorry Suzanne.
Chantal - Don't give up yet! The tests frequently become negative after time. It may be a real +++. Fingers crossed!
I should have my meds by this afternoon.

Amanda

Not looking good... went to the bathroom earlier today and wiped this big blob of mucousy reddish brown discharge :( I havent had anything since... so I dont know. I am crampy - but not the usual AF style cramps. BUT, with the combination of temps, BFN's, bloody discharge, cramps... I think it's best to begin accepting that :bat: has unpacked her suitcase here for a few days.


NOW - the REALLY sucky part... for my fertile time for this upcoming cycle - I will be OUT OF TOWN :faint: :banghead: So, I guess my next lucky (hopefully) cycle wont be until June. :rolleyes: Unless by some small miracle, DH's swimmers are strong. I dont know what happened to them this cycle... other than he was taking codeine for a backache the week prior to O.

I dunno... :help:

Edited to add:

Naw, Its official... :bat: is here. However, CD 1 wont be till tomorrow.


So my next *fertile window* starts the day I get back from my trip to visit my family this month *wiping brow* WHEW... so we wont miss it afterall ;) :lol:

Then my test day will be on my Mom's birthday - June 9th.

Again, I will NOT be charting/temping this cycle. I WILL call Dr Reid for a blood test on CD 24 again - but will NOT want the results until after June 9th... IF I even need them then ;)

AF has arrived. So is today CD1 or would it be tomorrow?

I'm sorry Chantal and Melissa. That stinks!
Melissa - I'm never 100% sure but if you're having real AF, I would count today. If it's light then I would count tomorrow.

Amanda

Sorry Melissa and Chantal

I don't know what is up me, can you change my stats to :confused: until further notice. I will let you know when CD1 gets here for sure :rolleyes:

Melissa, Chantal, I'm sorry.

Can someone look at my chart for me? http://www2.fertilityfriend.com/home/88d9d This is my first cycle on Clomid so I don't have anything to compare it to. It shows CD18, but I had the huge rise on CD17. Is it because the rise on CD17 is not above the previous 6 temps?

Marcy - FF is probably saying CD18 because of the wet CM you recorded. But the dashed lines means FF isn't totally certain of your O date. I think CD16 is a definite possibility. What happens if you change the wet CM to creamy?

I tend to have fertile CM after O alot so I usually had to fool FF by recording creamy then putting the wet or EW in the notes section.

I just changed CD18 to Creamy, and it didn't change the crosshairs.

Thanks for letting me know about the dashed lines.

OK finally, can you make me CD1 today please.
