A link to the old thread (http://www.onceuponalife.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16896)

Thanks Nocona. I was just coming to start a new thread!

Subbing and dumping


BABY DUST for everyone to roll in :)

*spreading honey on self and rolling in baby dust*

:wavey: I'm here! Let's hope there are lots of :bfp: all around. :nod:

Btw - kick me if I am annoying you... but has your Dh has a swimmer test done? Also - did you ovulate during the past 12 cycles on Clomid (were your cycles regular) ?

Chantal - Shane has had the swimmers tested and everything came back fine except some white blood cells which were then taken care of with some antibiotics. I did not ever O on my 50, 100 or 150 mg. clomid cycles. I did get + OPK's for my 200 cycle and the past two 250 mg cycles. And, you aren't bugging me at all!

just subbing

I need to change my CD, but I forget what I'm on :blush: I'll just wait until the next AF.

Subbing! I should get my crosshairs tomorrow. :ura1:

Jenny: Good luck with your cross hairs!!

I did OPK yesterday and had a very dark second line. Needless to say :sex:fest July is still on! ;) No rest for dh for the next 3 days. Hell he's not complaining!! :lol:

OPKs never work for me. Plus, I forget that I am holding it for so many hours and then go to the bathroom. :lol:

I check CM, cervix :blush1: , and temp. Clomid also narrows my window!

This is the first time I have used them correctly. :lol: I forgot that you are on Clomid. I heard that Clomid and OPK's aren't really a good mix..:dunno:

Needless to say :sex:fest July is still on! ;) No rest for dh for the next 3 days. Hell he's not complaining!! :lol:

:lol: after the year of trying for our first I can definately say my husband WAS complaining.. I thought it would be heaven for him but he said it was just TOO MUCH!! :lol: is he normal???:scratch: :lol: Good luck anyway I hope you catch that eggie!

Jenny: good luck with the crosshairs! :hug1:

He's normal. ;)


We both like the spontaneity (sp?) of :sex: so when TTC :sex: comes around we both are like Ugh! I tried to hide it from him this time so that he would feel I was being spontaneous but had to break down and tell him.

We've been trying since May/June 2004 so this whole thing is getting old!

Do you think it will ever get old for Jamie? :tongue2:

Dropping off more baby dust!

Amanda

OPK's SUCK for women using Clomid... because you dont always ovulate on clomid - if the doseage isnt right, or for whatever reason :rolleyes: yet your body WILL still produce and LH surge, because of the developing follicles. The lack of actual release of the eggie is what causes women on Clomid to sometimes hyperstimulate.

At least, thats how my specialist painted it for me. He said to avoid OPK's when on Clomid.

I never even bothered checking my CM either. Clomid dried that up pretty good :rolleyes: However - the clincher this cycle that I conceived... I FIRMLY believe it was because of the low dose aspirin that I was taking to thicken my lining. Not too much will sway me from that idea. I had 2 other ovulatory cycles on Clomid... Dh and I bd'd PERFECTLY on time... temps rose accordingly... Progesterone blood test showed SUPER high numbers (meaning fantastic ovulation happened)... yet I NEVER conceived. This cycle - I added the Aspirin...and BINGO... baby on the way :)

I took a low dose aspirin when I was pregnant back in March. If I get BFN I might try that next cycle. Since I am 2 DPO today, is it too late to start for this cycle?

No - apparently you should start it right after ovulation... so 2 DPO is not too late :) Clomid wreaks HAVOC on the uterine lining.

Cool! I will dig them out tonight.

We've been trying since May/June 2004 so this whole thing is getting old!

:hug99: I feel your pain. We've been OTL/TTC since October 2003 :( It gets old fast, huh?

Very old!


Well, I got crosshairs this morning. Yippee! When I first looked at the thermometer I thought it said 97.11 which would have been bad. I was like, What! Then I looked at it again, 97.71. Whew....that is much better. All right.....just gotta wait it out now.

We have been TTC since October 2003 with a m/c in April 2004 and back to TTC in June '04. It's been a crappy 2 years but I know in my heart it will happen. Your DH is normal. It's not as fun when you "have" to do it. Thanks for the luck. I sure could use it. ;)

You can take me off the list. AF showed today and we are taking a year off from ttc. We will reevaluate what to do next summer. Our next step is injectibles, but of course insurance doesn't cover them.

I am sorry Kim :hug99:

Kimberley, really sorry to hear your news.

AF showed up for me too. Melissa could you change me to CD2 today please?

:hug99:

Okay Darcy and Nicki!!! :rahrah: How are you guys feeling these days??? :awink:

Shannon, thanks for asking. :) I'm feeling "OK". So trying not to get my hopes up, but my bbs were VERY sore this morning. But that could be nothing seeing as I just stopped morning nursing a little over a month ago. My cycle was short last month (I think about 24 days), so it could be AF seeing as today is CD 24. Still debating on when to test. I'll probably wait until after Tuesday since that's when AF *should* arrive. We'll see.

I'm sorry Kimberly!
Darcy - Crossing everything!

We had a good news/bad news kind of day yesterday. I went for another u/s to check on the kiddos. The good news is that we have ONE healthy baby measuring exactly on dates with a good heartrate. The bad news is we lost Twin A. I guess vanishing twin syndrome is very common but we weren't prepared at all.

Amanda

I'm so sorry Amanda. But glad to hear that there is a healthy baby in there. I hope you are ok and coming to terms with it. Lots of hugs. Lx

Amanda - I am so sorry! :justahug:

Darcy-hoping hoping...!!!

Amanda, so sorry to hear about one of the babies....lots of hugs to you, my dear!

I am so sorry Kim & Lizie :hug1:

I am so sorry Amanda! :hug99:

Thanks everyone! We're dealing pretty well.

I'm still hanging in there. Not sure when I'm going to test seeing as DH doesn't want to "jinx" anything. :rolleyes: He's being kinda wishy-washy about me possibly being pregnant. I'm hoping that it's just because he doesn't want to get his hopes up. Weirdo. :lol:

Sorry Nicki!
Darcy - Crossing everything! How many DPO are you???

Amanda

:hug99: to Nicki!

Amanda, I'm not sure since I'm not temping or charting. This cycle is longer than the last one (24 days), but I had just stopped morning nursing, so I'm sure that threw my cycle off. I'm on CD27 today, so my guess is probably around 12-14 DPO. I'm not testing until Thursday, though. (That's what the hubby and I decided.)

Good luck Darcy!! :crossfing

:hug1: sorry nicki..

Good luck Darcy! I hope the waiting brings out a positive for you :hug1:

Jenny--what's with your new profile line?

Still no AF here. I *may* test tomorrow, so we'll see. I'll be sure to let you girls know. :)

Well, my OCD has kicked in! I am 9 DPO so I still have a few days before I can test. I'm thinking Friday will be the day unless my temps take a nose dive. Then I won't waste my money!

C'mon Darcy, Jolie, and Jenny!!! :rahrah: And Melissa not too far behind!! We need at least ONE BFP this month!!

Darcy - I think you should definitely test tomorrow (the 27th). :nod: It's my birthday, and I can't think of a better present than a BFP from you. :supergrin

This part is so exciting......

Shannon, I'll see what I can do. :lol: I actually don't even have any tests in the house, so maybe I'll go out tonight to get them.

Fingers crossed! I hope there are a bunch of BFPs!!!

Amanda

My birthday is on Saturday. Hopefully, I will have a really good reason to celebrate!

Good luck! I have my fingers crossed for you!

Um.....so I cheated and tested this evening.

HOLY CRAP! I'm going to be a MOM TO 2!!!

Yeah, I tested positive. I'm in such shock. Oh my gosh, my life is going to change SO much. I'm so scared, yet happy, yet shocked. I'm going to try to let this sink in.

Let's hope I'm the first of many.

Spreading lots of baby dust to everyone!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

:woo: Congratulations Darcy!!! :jump:

Congrats Darcy! That is great news!! :yippee:

Yeah Darcy!!! :woo: :yippee: Congratulations!!! I'm really happy for you guys!!! :yippee:

Congratulations Darcy!!! Heres to a happy healthy pregnancy!!

Thanks everyone. :hug99: The news is slowly sinking in. Looks like I'm due in early April.

Alright....who's next? :)

I :pray: that I am!!!!

Okay Jolie, Jenny, and Melissa - you're next!!! :rahrah:

ME ME ME!!! :pray: :pray: :pray:

My chart is looking like my last one when I was pregnant but since I can't compare to a regular ovulatory chart I am trying to be cautiously optimistic.

Oh, and FF says that if I conceive I will be due 4/9 so you are probably just a few of days before that.

Jolene - When are you going to test?

Wow! Congratulations Darcy!!!! Here is to a happy and healthy 9 months! Riley is going to be a big sister!!!! :woo:

Sandy

Darcy...CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!:yippee:

Jolie, Jenny, and Melissa- best of luck to all of you!!!

Good luck, Jenny! :hug99: (And thanks for the profile love. :love2: )

Yeah, according to babycenter I'm due April 4, which is funny because I turn 30 on April 2. I'm hoping I won't be celebrating in the hospital. :lol: First appointment is August 23. :)

oh my god darcy!! I turned off my computer last night just as you were going out to buy tests and I come back today and this is happened!! great news, really pleased for you!!!!

Darcy, very happy for you! You did break down early and test :)

Darcy, congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Darcy :hug1:

I hope this is a set trend and there are alot more BFP this month! good luck guys! :hug1:

Jenny, when are you testing?

Tomorrow morning but I am not going to be upset if it is negative because it will only be 12 DPO. I had a little bit of spotting yesterday so I am PRAYING it was implantation spotting. I have prayed that when I do get pregnant that I have implantation spotting so that I won't be so scared about having another ectopic. I am hoping he heard me. Plus, with only spotting yesterday I could have just implanted at 10 DPO so maybe it won't show up. UGH! I am driving myself crazy! I am sure I will know something for sure by the end of the weekend. My chart still looks purdy!!!

Fingers crossed Jenny!

Amanda

Fingers crossed for you jenny, I didn't get implantations spotting with my first 2 pregnancies but i did with this one.. I also spotted again when AF was due, and then a week later, hence me not thinking I was pregnant till well into week 7! I hope this is what you experienced yesterday good luck... I will be back to check! :hug1:

Well, it was a BFN girls! But I am not giving up hope yet. If I implanted late it may just be too early. My temp was completely out of whack this morning. I don't know if it was because I am feeling so sick or what. I am feeling horrible. My throat and head hurt so bad. I took my temp with a regular thermometer right after I used my BBT thermometer and my regular temp was only 99.0 so I don't know that I should discard today's temp on my chart or not. It really jumped. I used my VIP privileges over at FF so hopefully they will give me an answer.

Maybe tomorrow.....tomorrow is my birthday so maybe I will get a really nice present. BFP! BBs are still pretty sore and temps still look good so we will see.

Sorry about the BFN but fingers still crossed!

Amanda

Sill keeping fingers crossed for you!! :hug99:

Jenny - your chart looks great, very similar to your last chart. And a sore throat can be a sign of pregnancy. I had one that started the day I tested + and then last for about 3 days.

Last time you didn't get a + until 13 dpo, right? Give it a couple more days. Like you said, maybe tomorrow!

Brooke - You are smarter than I. It just occured to me this morning to even look and see when I tested positive last time. DUH!!! I am definitely not throwing in the towel.

FF suggested I throw out the temp. It looked really odd with the rest of my temps so I agree. It just sucks because I really wanted to know what it looked like. Oh well.

I am going to try and rest today.

:hug1: I agree with brooke! good luck for your next test! rest up!

Happy birthday, Jenny! Thinking of you today. :hug99:

Stupid BFN but I am not giving up yet. I am only 13 DPO and think I implanted 10 DPO. My chart still looks purdy so we will see. I am using Answer. I keep getting conflicting information on the internet about how sensitive that test is. I think it is because there are two types out there. Not sure. Maybe I will buy a different brand or maybe I should just be patient. :lol:

Thanks for the Birthday love!

WTF???
When can you get the doctor to test you?

She makes me wait until CD 35 and then I am supposed to call!! I know that my HCG levels start off slow. They did when I was pregnant with Emma, with my ectopic (although that was probably the ectopic) and IF I am prego I implanted around 10 DPO since I had spotting. I'm getting pissed! I just want to know....either way!

I broke down and tested this am. BFN. I hate this shit!!

AMEN!! :hug99:

They did when I was pregnant with Emma, with my ectopic (although that was probably the ectopic) and IF I am prego I implanted around 10 DPO since I had spotting. I'm getting pissed! I just want to know....either way!

I know.. the good news is there is still a big chance you are preggers.. but I know, you just want to know.

Melissa :hug99: I'm holding out hope until AF arrives!

:crossfing Jen!!! :)

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys!! :hug99:

Sorry Jenny and Melissa! Still keeping my fingers crossed.

Amanda

Still have my :crossfing I hope you get a :bfp: soon!!

Melissa & Jenny, hang in there.. I am hoping it was just too early for both of you... My fingers are crossed tightly for you :hug1:

Thanks for the hopes but I think this dream has ended. Temps went down this morning and I feel AF should be here any minute. :(

Temps still up....still BFN! I think I may call the nurse and see if she will have mercy on my poor soul and do a blood test for me. They are going to do bloodwork immediately if it is positive anyway, right?

I'm sorry Melissa.
Jenny - How frustrating! I hope you can get a blood test.

Amanda

:justahug: for Melissa

Good luck Jenny!! I hope you get your bfp!

Yes, they would do bloodwork anyway.. call the nurse and let us know!!

Called the nurse and she said they normally tell people to wait until CD35 to test when taking clomid. (She obviously doesn't know me very well.) Anyway, I told her that my chart looks just like my ectopic chart but I can't get a BFP on any tests. She said that just because it looks like my ectopic chart it could be just a regular pregnancy chart (which I knew). She did take pity on me and faxed over orders for bloodwork and sent them STAT so I should know something this afternoon. She also said if they come back negative that that doesn't necessarily mean it is negative, it was just too early to test. If I go another week and wouldn't have a cycle she would test again.:crossfing

Good luck, Jenny!

i'm so sorry, Melissa. :(

anxiously awaiting!!

Good luck Jenny!

:hug99: Melissa :hug99:

Test was negative....less than 2. She said we will wait a week and see what happens. At least I know to quit taking pregnancy tests. It's obviously not the answer I wanted but I do feel better knowing.

I am sorry Jenny :hug99:

I'm sorry, Jenny.

I'm sorry Jenny. :hug99:

Oh no, I am so sorry. :kiss: :hug99: :justahug: :hug1: This will happen for both of us eventually, I am sure of it.

Guess who found me today? :tantrum: I hate my body!!!!

I'm sorry Jenny and Melissa.

Alright guys. I have to do this. I have to stop coming to this part of the board. It is driving me crazy. I need for someone else to update the CD's. I wish everyone the best of luck in your TTC journey but for now I need to take a step back. It breaks my heart everytime I see yet another bfp that isn't mine. I will still be around the boards just not in this section. I will come back when the time feels right. It just isn't right now.

Good luck to each of you and may you find the miracle that you each deserve!! :hug99:

I'm sorry, Jenny............

Melissa, sorry you are leaving, but I hope you'll be back soon after a much-deserved break, and I know it'll happen for you...I bet you will get pg when you least expect it............ :)

I'm sorry Melissa and I totally understand!

Amanda

:hug1: Melissa I am so sorry.. I also totally understand where you are coming from, I hope your dreams can come true for you soon! :hug1:

Jenny: I am sorry about the negative, but am still holding hope for this cycle for you! I mean look at Chantal!!

Jenny - Poop. :( I'm really sorry your body got your hopes up like that. I hope you get some resolution one way or the other very soon. :hug99:

Melissa - I totally understand....take as long of a break as you need. :hug99: Lots of times, that's all you need. :)

Melissa - I totally understand. Keeping you in my thoughts.

I have been so much more relaxed since I got my bloodwork back....sad but more relaxed. I think I was having so much anxiety that I couldn't sleep and now I am sleeping like a log. Temps are still up so we will see what tomorrow brings.

Melissa - I am so sorry honey and I totally understand. It hard for me to come to this section very much. We love you!! :nod:

Jenny - glad you are sleeping better and are more relaxed. :hug1:

Melissa, a big hug for you. :hug99: I know it will happen for you.

Jenny, keeping you in my thoughts, too. :nod:

Hi Jenny.
So sorry about your temp drop. :(
I'm wondering if you really O'd a few days later than you thought, like around CD 20.

Yea. I am wondering the same thing. I am learning the hard way not to trust FF. I will know better next time.

At any rate, I am looking forward to having AF show up so we can get this show on the road!

Round 4.....here we come!

My first month charting with this pregnancy, I was POSITIVE I O'd on CD 14 and AF was late. Then the day that I marked AF on my chart, FF changed my O day to CD 17. Ticked me off! :lol:

REALLY! That's crap! If you are going to have this software, it should be better. UGH!

I am going to talk to my doctor on Monday about switching over to Femara. Does anyone know how it is taken?

Jenny sorry about the temp drop :hug1: I hope AF finds you fast so you can move forward with the next cycle!

Thanks!

:blush: I can't believe I haven't made it to the new cb journal until page 8! Opps!

I'm cd6 as of today (Saturday)...and so utterly over the ttc bollocks...ugh. I think this is all payback for me secretly feeling smug when I got pregnant with Atticus that it had only taken us 3 cycles....that'll learn me!

Jenny - I took femara my last cycle (but had to add injections b/c I didn't have a good response - but I did get pregnant so that's something). You take it like clomid. I took it cd3-7 and then had a sono cd8 to check follicles. I know several women who failed clomid who had success with femara.
Jolene - I'm sorry this process has been so awful for you. Fingers crossed!

Amanda

Sorry about the temp drop, Jen. :hug99:

Can anyone help me figure out my stupid chart? I entered my temp this morning....and FF decided that I O'd on CD13!! :wtf: I have NEVER had a cycle that short....although I've never had a cycle as long as last time.....so I'm pretty skeptical. Plus, I've had fertile CM for the past 2 weeks....pretty much every day, and my temps are still all over the place! How in the heck did FF decide that I O'd? I don't think I've O'd yet, and I'm looking for some other opinions. :) Thanks!

It's doing that because your last three temps were .3 degrees below the day your temp "shot up" if that is what they want to call it. But I agree with you. I definitely wouldn't trust it.

Do you have VIP over there? If so, I would ask the VIP people.

Thanks Jenny! :) I think you're right....I'm going to ignore FF and just keep going at it like rabbits. :awink: I don't have VIP there, so there isn't anyone to ask.... Crap.

:blush: I can't believe I haven't made it to the new cb journal until page 8! Opps!

I'm cd6 as of today (Saturday)...and so utterly over the ttc bollocks...ugh. I think this is all payback for me secretly feeling smug when I got pregnant with Atticus that it had only taken us 3 cycles....that'll learn me!

I hear ya sister. I got prego with Lauren after 2 cylces.. we are going on a year of trying with the second one! Dernnit!!

Testing on Wednesday but have about ZERO hopes!

Shannon~at it like rabbits is always the solution....just keep up your Powerade and muesli bar intake so as to avoid exhaustion!:lol:

Dori ~yep, it really sucks doesn't it, especially when you think *oh I got pg so easily last time - this time will be a cinch!* Yeah right!:rolleyes:

Ok, we were so naive to think that maybe this time we won't even need fertility drugs at all.. little did we know!! :crazy:

Hey, I have another question for you all......I would guess that perhaps I O'd on CD20....what do you think? The thing that's getting up my nose....well, not literally....is all the fertile CM I'm having! Seriously, it's been just about every day for the past 2 weeks!! :wtf: Poor Paul is getting pretty beat! :lol:

Since I am leaving for vacation tomorrow I think AF is trying to rear her ugly face.. grrr.. will have to wait and see!!

I'm sorry, Dori.... :hug99: Isn't that the sure way to get her to show up - do something that would be REALLY inconvenient with AF? I'm still waiting and crossing though.... :)
Where are you going? We're leaving for vacation on Wed - camping near Crater Lake, OR. I'm sure your holiday is going to be WAY more exotic and exciting than that!

We are going to Tenerife, one of the Spanish islands. If it were up to husband and we were in the states, we would be going camping instead!!

I can't tell anything by your chart really. Hmmmm......


I told Mark we weren't going to rely on FF anymore and we just had to do a lot of BDing. He didn't seem too upset! :lol:

Dori - Cool!! I never made it to Spain, but I've heard great things. You guys are going to have a great time! :)

Jenny - Thanks for having a look.... My chart the past couple of cycles has been SO frustrating! This cycle is a little more defined than the previous one. I just hope I O before CD31.....I really don't want another 45 day cycle. :(
We're doing the same thing - we starting BD'ing every other day starting on CD10. :aok: Some nights it's a little exhausting because we've had a long day.....but I think Paul is wanting a longer break than 48 hours. :lol: It's funny....pre-marriage, we did it EVERY day :woo: and now we're exhausted doing it every other day for a couple of weeks. :lol: I don't know if that makes us old or just parents.....

Dori :hug1: sorry you think AF is coming, but hopefully the pending trip will bring out another inconvenience on holiday instead A BIG BOUT OF MORNING SICKNESS! it would still suck but make it okay becuase it will mean you get your wish! fingers crossed for you

Dori- Is there any comfort in knowing that if you are starting at least you ovulated? Did you BD like rabbits? :lol: Ya know, some people can be so nosy!

Nice temp spike Shannon! I wonder if that is your ovulation spike?

Thanks Jenny! :) I was pretty happy to see it this morning! :woo: I think I'm going to stick to CD20 for my O date though....unless someone can enlighten me as to my faulty reasoning. :awink: At least I'm feeling pretty good that this won't be a repeat cycle of last month.....

I sent my chart over and talked to the doc. She said my chart looked really good and it looks like things just didn't connect this time.

I talked to her a little bit about how emotional I have been and she basically said that clomid is making me ovulate which is creating PMS and I don't normally ovulate so I don't typically get PMS. She asked if it was a combination of having that and a bad month and I told her it probably was. We decided I would try it again. I think a lot of it was the unknown that was driving me crazy. I think my last chart taught me quite a bit. Knowledge is power so hopefully I will have a better month, even if it ends up with BFN.

I am holding everyone to this....don't let me test until day 35!! I am counting on you guys!

I also talked to her about how I think FF was off on my ovulation date. She said that FF is nice if you have nice normal cycles because they are using data for nonmedicated cycles but when you take clomid everything seems to happen a little bit later. I told her I think I ovulated later and she said even if I did she isn't too concerned with our timing. Of course, it is always best to have more occurrences on there but if you are going to be earlier or later it is better to be earlier. If you are BDing after ovulation, YOU TOO LATE! She said sperm can live up to 5 days! I guess we all know this anyway thanks to Chantal! :)

Dori~ I hope AF can stay away for a few days. :crossfing

Shannon~ I think it makes you parents, not old! :awink:

Jenny~I hope you can get it figured out. I agree about FF, it gives you a guideline for normal cycles. Hope you have a better month. :crossfing

She said sperm can live up to 5 days! I guess we all know this anyway thanks to Chantal! :)

:lol: and she is VERY right on that one :) I hope this is your cycle! I completely agree with everything your Dr told you about charting when on Clomid. I typically would ovulate on CD 18 or 19 and rarely had any EWCM. However, this cycle threw all of that out the window :lol:

Btw ---- just a side note.... both times I conceived.... Dh and I had 1 day right near O where we had sex in the morning and again in the late afternoon/evening. This time - it was the last day we had sex... 5 days before I ovulated. Maybe theres something to be said about the Morning Swimmers ;)


:crossfing

My friend (who is an ob/gyn) thinks that you just need to have as much sex as humanly possible! Forget charting, just do it!

Amanda

Maybe the morning swimmers are better rested..... :awink:

FF moved my O date to CD22 instead! :aok: However...they've put my coverline at 97.7, which seems kinda high. We'll see what happens! At least I don't have to take my thermometer camping and I don't have to worry about AF while we're gone. :woo:

We are going to do a lot more BDing this time around. I only chart because my doc has requested I do so. I think she just likes to make sure I am BDing at the right time. When Dori is on clomid her doc does not have her chart. His theory is that if you get a period, then you ovulated. I think it just depends on the doctor. I don't mind charting. I am control freak so I like to watch my temps. (It can also drive me to be a little nutso though!)

Shannon - I think CD22 makes much more sense.

I'm the same way, Jenny! Control Freaks of the World Unite!!! :woo:

Oh, and I think it would help to know if you have a short LP. I don't have a short LP so I don't know what that indicates but I know it isn't supposed to be good. :crazy:

I actually liked to chart, too. My last cycle I was charting even though I took injections and an HCG trigger shot. The day after my IUI my temp was still low and I FREAKED out. We left for Texas early that morning and my husband actually called my RE's office from Texas to ask about the low temp. They laughed and said they didn't know what to say b/c they had NEVER had anyone take temps during a monitored cycle. (PS I got PG that cycle anyway!)

Amanda

I have to chart, too. I'm a control freak and I need to know what's going on.

I *think* short LPs are bad because the egg doesn't have adequate time to implant. But I'm not sure.

I charted while trying to get pg with Riley. I was getting so obsessed with my temp and it was stressing me out, so DH hid the thermometer. The next month I got pg. And this pg was a surprise. I know charting works for some people, but I'm glad I stopped.

I *think* short LPs are bad because the egg doesn't have adequate time to implant. But I'm not sure.

That's what I was thinking too but wasn't sure. It would make sense.

I *think* short LPs are bad because the egg doesn't have adequate time to implant. But I'm not sure.

:nod: yep, that's exactly why a short LP is not good - I am on Clomid for that very reason - because it also helps extend the LP - even though I O quite happily on my own. Now, I just need to remember bonk like a mad thing in the next week and we should actually be in with a shot this month....excuse the pun:blush:

Shannon~hooray for FF finally coming to its senses! It often gives me higher coverlines than I expect too, and am never quite sure why that is...

Jenny~thanks so much for doing the daily updates!

I agree Jolie - thanks to Jenny for doing the updates. :)

Shannon - To FF :fryingpan !! I think it looks good though. I don't think they will move it again!


You are all welcome!!!!

Shannon.... I O'ed this cycle on CD 24 ;) Dont give up :) and I have to agree with FF's current O day... you have a wonderful temp surge :)

Dori CD36

I used to know all this stuff but now I have forgotten - so I have to ask:

I used OPK on Tuesday - definately "negative."

Used one this morning - definately equal colored lines, thus "positive."

So, that means I had not O'ed as of the time I took the test, right? Hopefully, if we BD tonight, tomorrow and next day (maybe day after that also!) that the timing should be right, right? Unless I O some time today, then I will have missed it.

I am going to go and buy some more OPK and use one in the morning and see what it tells me. If it is still "positive" that will help my frame of mind.

TIA!

Sandy

You are right. If you BD tonight you should be okay. OPKs never work for me but that is how I understand them to work.

Well, AF never showed.. which was good for vacation but I still had a BFN today.. Ya know, not having a period means NOTHING to me because I rarely have flippin period that isn't medication induced.. I hated even taking that stupid test today because I KNEW it was going to be negative. Grr...

And yes, as my sister said.. I cannot chart. I get way too stressed out, I never wake up at the same time. I tried setting an alarm but then I would wake up and by the time I charted and did everything I was wide awake and ticked.. it was too much for me.. For me, I just prefer to take the meds, frock every other night and test on CD 35. I never ovulate anyway..

Dori :( bummer about the annovulatory :( I too have had my fair share of those :(


Sandy... OPK's never worked for me with the PCOS/Clomid issues... but I understand that from the day OF the positive OPK result... you should have MAJOR :sex: for at least the next 3-4 days... the eggie could take as long as 3 days to come... and I always say throw in an extra day post-O just in case you ovulated later than expected. Ya just never know with those eggies :)

Cool! I am going to put my husband on notice that I need some action!!!

:bullhorn: I HATE MY BODY!!!!!!! It was a BFN today, just as expected. Grr... I am proud of my self for not testing until now.. I just dread testing these days.

Jenny, go ahead and keep me on the list.. I am going to test again on CD 60 since I had a 60 day cycle last month. Just so I can keep track in my head.

And of course, no AF. Figures.

I feel for you Dori. No AF here either AND I took prometruim this month. And I still got a :bfn: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Sandy, butting in with a late (and probably not needed at this point) piece of information. You are right about OPKs...according to what I read in the instructions, once you get a positive, it is indicative of the hormone surge, which means you are likely to ovulate within the next 24-72 hours. Lots of BDing (every day) is a good idea, because as Chantal pointed out, you never know about them, eggies...and the little guys can survive up to 4-5 days (though most live 2-3), so boinking even after your expected O date is a good idea just in case. I believe I missed a couple of cycles b/c I went by the O date FF gave me and the OPK timeline, and then my O date got moved, and none of the little guys made it, by then...

Hope this helps...

Thanks for responding Lena, I appreciate it. We didn't BD everyday this weekend, but we did Thursday night and Saturday, so hopefully that will have it covered. It certainly gives us the possiblity of getting pregnant, I would think.

CD 1 starting today!!

mmmm... so I take clomid since January and NEVER have a period.. I STOP clomid altogether and have two periods back to back. My last cycle was around 60 days and this one was 45 days??? Thats weird.. and we weren't really trying (like sex every other day trying) because I thought the last period was a fluke. So I am going to do the OPK's this time and see what I come up with. :scratch:

Hmmm....sounds promising Dori!! :aok: I'll be crossing stuff with this cycle. :)

Well, my temp went below my coverline this morning....so I'm expecting AF any minute now. I've been having cramps since yesterday, so my hopes aren't up at all. Well....goodbye April/May baby and c'mon June baby!! :woo:

:justahug: So sorry Shannon!

Dori - That's very strange!
Shannon - Sorry about the temp dip.

Amanda

Hi all, have been away. Could you change me to CD7 today please Jenny? My last cycle was probably my shortest ever!

ps. sorry to hear you think AF is on it's way Shannon. Good luck with the OPKs Dori.

DONE! :thumbsup:

Can you change me to CD 5? AF decided to grace me with her presence while we went on vacation! :grr:

You can go ahead and take me off the list. I am going to "relax" on the TTC and try and stay away from this section for a while. Good luck to all of you. I'll let ya know when my bfp comes around!! Thank you for all of your support the past few months. I really appreciate it.

Melissa,

Good luck. Anyone feel lucky this cycle? I think we are due for a :bfp:

I don't!!! I ovulated out of my left side and I don't have a left tube. Hopefully either the clomid forced eggs out of both ovaries or my egg floated over to the right tube. Either way, I don't think this will be our month.

Crud Jenny!! :( You never know....I'm still hopeful for you. :)

I'm feeling lucky this cycle!! :awink: Of course, I'm still spotting from AF, so I've still got a way to go. :lol:

That's the spirit Shannon!! Let's spread it around. Hopefully it will help! I may make some crack brownies this weekend in hopes that it might help!

That stinks Jenny! My fingers are still crossed! :crossfing

I think AF is finally starting to let up today. That was one of the heaviest cycles I have ever had. Ugh! I agree, we are DUE some BFP's in this group!!!

Definitely crossing fingers and sending baby dust!

Amanda

Shannon, I'm keeping all crossables crossed!!

Jenny, I agree, we're definitely due to see some BFPs around here soon!

This cycle is well and truly out for me - no BDing means that the chances of conceiving are pretty damn slim:lol:. And since I think I'm probably a doubtful candidate for immaculate conception, I'd have some serious explaining to do if AF didn't arrive early next week!!! I am however feeling confident and more optimistic about next cycle!

Did FF move your ovulation date or am I losing my mind?

(The latter has a much better chance of being the right answer.)

jenny it amazes me how similar your charts are when you look at them overlayed... isn't the body an amazing thing!!..

All the best of luck :hug1:

Thanks Deb! I haven't found anyone that is feeling overly optimistic about this cycle but that is usually when it happens....when you least expect it.

I am amazed at my chart as well. It is so weird. This cycle my temp shot up and is hovering around 97.9 or so. It's a bit weird as I am usually a slow riser but it still doesn't look too different. I know....I am probably the only one that notices since I am one to overanalyze my chart.

Tell me about it! I was finatical, I read into every dip and rise when I was TTC with my first. and I must say it was the month that had something slightly different although generally the same but slightly different that only I noticed that was my successful one!... I hope that happens for you jenny! my fingers are crossed.

Think I have definitely O'd. DH and I got to BD last night so might catch the eggie. But can't help feeling that we might have missed it.

Jenny, am intrigued how you know which ovary ovulated. can you actually feel it happening?

Yes. Since I am on clomid it feels like someone is using them as a punching bag. It hurt on my right side last month and my left side this month. I am hoping an egg snuck out on the right side too though. I talked to my doc about it and she said that she has had two of her babies were clomid babies and she experienced the same thing.

It's good that you can feel it happening, reassuring in many ways, despite the pain! Fingers crossed you got one on your right side too!!

I really must start charting again so I can figure out what's going on. I stopped cos my thermometer wasn't working but now got a a new one. The only problem is, like everyone says, you can't help obsessing about it!

Yea, I tend to ovulate late on clomid so just as I start to get discouraged I start feeling pain. As much as it is uncomfortable I am actually excited when it is happening.

After what I put myself through last cycle, I think I have been much better this cycle. I tend to be a control freak about certain things so I like to temp so that I know exactly what is going on.

I hope that you can temp and keep your sanity! :silly:

I temped for quite a while just to check I was definitely ovulating. That was pretty interesting cos I wasn't properly TTCing at the time so I could just marvel at how it all works! But now I guess it is a whole different ballgame.

Well I reckon you can put me down as 1DPO as all the signs are that it happened yesterday.

:thumbsup: No problem!

I don't want to be devils advocate but Jenny... look at that spike! are we talking Triphasic here! :hug1: I have my fingers crossed for you!

I think I was having a hot flash when I woke up. :crazy:

I agree, Jenny, your chart IS looking really good! Hope this is it!!!

:rahrah: Jenny, if that isn't a triphasic chart, I don't know what is!!! I hope you and Dori can have a good excuse to buy some cute little clothes in Ireland. :awink:

Wouldn't that be nice? Is it sad that Dori and I were looking at our calendars and trying to determine sleeping arrangements based on BD needs?? :lol: Hopefully, I won't have any BD needs (at least for TTC!!!)

I have my fingers crossed for you too Jenny.

Now I could be being totally crazy ... but tonight I feel nauseaous, hot, dizzy and have funny metallic taste in my mouth and heartburn. Surely, surely, surely 3DPO is just way too early to have any symptoms?!! Oh yeah and had very strange vivid dreams on the last two nights. V strange!!!

Hmmmmm.......it would be too early for implantation unless your ovulation date is wrong. Hopefully, those are good signs though!!!!

I don't want to get my hopes up but I am silently screaming.. "I HOPE MY SISTER IS PREGGERS!!!"

Could have ovulated earlier, I guess, but in any case, I've never ovulated earlier than than CD14.

I'm probably just ill or something!! I get migraines and it feels a lot like a migraine but without the visual disturbances. Will keep ya posted!

Dori, you are an OUAL night-owl like me!! i'm just across the water from you in london.

Wouldn't that be nice? Is it sad that Dori and I were looking at our calendars and trying to determine sleeping arrangements based on BD needs?? :lol: Hopefully, I won't have any BD needs (at least for TTC!!!)

:lol2: Too funny..... I guess you and DH will have to take lots of longs "walks".... :awink:

Wouldn't that be nice? Is it sad that Dori and I were looking at our calendars and trying to determine sleeping arrangements based on BD needs?? :lol: Hopefully, I won't have any BD needs (at least for TTC!!!)

Thats priceless!! :lol:

Well I hope you both don't have to worry about that at all and use your time celebrating some good news!

Jenny your chart is still looking fabulously triphasic to me.. but well you don't need me to tell you that, I am sure you are going :crazy: waiting!... when do you plan to test? will you wait past 14 dpo?

I promised myself that I would wait until 14 DPO to test but DHs birthday is on Sunday so I may test then just in case I could give him a big surprise for his birthday. I am not sure though. I haven't bought a test and I don't know if I will. I don't handle only seeing one line very well. I got a BFP at 12 DPO with my ectopic so I would hope it wouldn't be too early but judging by last month's chart I have a long luteal phase so it may be too soon. We'll see. I still am not putting a lot of hope into this cycle. My chart looks just like last months chart and look where that got me!

Fingers crossed for you, Jenny! I hope you can give DH a very special bday present.

If you do test on Sunday Jenny (and I understand if you don't!) promise you'll let us know!

No strange symptoms for me today. It's a whole 9 days before I'll test. God that's seems so long away!!

Thanks guys! I still haven't made up my mind. I lean towards not doing it but I know myself well enough to know that if I have a weak moment I will be driving over to CVS. It will only take one weak moment. :lol:

Jenny, I know what you mean. I feel like caving in and testing now! though I know it would ridiculous for me at this stage.

feel a bit queasy again today ... it's an ongoing saga, this!

Lizzie, symptoms sound good and early.

Well, after 14 months of trying, 4 rounds of clomid, and one ectopic pregnancy I would like to announce that I am

PREGNANT!!!

I woke up this morning at 4:00 am and decided I had been asleep long enough so I took a test and it came back positive. I couldn't believe it. So, of course, I can't go back to sleep now. I was going to wrap it and give it to DH for his birthday but I couldn't wait so I woke him up. He said COOL and went back to sleep! Men!

It is a long weekend so I won't be able to start getting my beta checked until Tuesday but that's okay.

I was so sure that this cycle was out. I love it when I am wrong.
