| Answer: Hi all. Where is everyone - i feel very lonely!!! Kimmers and Hoping its looking good for you both - i got everything crossed for you!! Sarah how many heartbeats did you see, is everything ok? No news from me, not too sure when AF is due anytime between saturday and tuesday i think!! Fingers crossed she won't show - but i think she will. Anyway **Babydust to all** xx = |
| Answer: Hi ladies**Sarah**How did the appt go? Any heartbeats? **Kimmer** Your chart still looks good with it being so high above the coverline...I'm hoping this is our month! When did you decide to test? **Ash**How are you girl?**Cj**Thanks for checking in--how have your signs been? *Any other ladies I missed--Baby dust to you!! **As for me, cd 22, 8 dpo. My temp went up .1 today, so I am back to being higher for me, but no huge triphasic jump or anything. The cm has also slowed down a little bit. Am a little discouraged. Depending on my temps, Imight test Thursday or Friday. Thursday will be 10 dpo and I just do'nt know if I can wait it out!! Any thoughts ladies? Hope you all have a great day! = |
| Answer: Hey hoping and cj! Hoping - I decided to test on Friday, and if +, then Staurday and maybe Sunday too to make sure it's getting darker, not lighter. Since I took that hcg boster (a half dose) shot last night, there is a chance it will still be in my system on Friday. But, that's the plan. I know I won't make it til next Tuesday...when I could test. So, I'm planning that instead. I'm hoping this is it for us (and ash and cj)!! ***sarah - good luck today at your appt!! I will be thnking of you and anxiously awaiting news of two strong heartbeats :) ***how is everyone else? Take care... = |
| Answer: Oh my goodness...yes...it's me! How are all of my girls doing? From the looks of everything looks like everyone is doing great! **Sarah - aww girl I miss you! I am praying really hard for you today! I just know it's gonna be good news!! **Hoping - you are getting ready to test! That is soooo exciting! you temps sound good too. You should post your chart link again. I've tried to find it but can't! **Kimmer - everything is sounding awesome for you girl! I hope this is your month! Did you ever contact Cheri? **CJ - wow...everyone is getting close to testing! I hope that ugly biatch stays away! Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you! **As for me...I am on CD31 and still no signs of Af. My chart has been so screwed up lately I have no idea what's going on. Don't even know if I O'd or not. If I did then it was probably around CD16 or 17...which would put me at 14 or 15DPO. Still haven't gotten my insurance figured out so I am thinking about going to get my progesterone checked. Anywho...I really do miss talking to you girls! It makes me feel great that you still ask about me! I do read everday...just don't have much time to respond! I'm gonna try and post more I promise! **Hugs and Kisses** = |
| Answer: Hello Ladies well today I went in for my IUI and it was ok I was just a little crampy afterwards I really do not fell like this is going ot work being as though I migh have a hydrosalpinx in my right tube.
The doctor said that she is defintely going to do surgery to see what this fluid is about If I am not pregnant. Good Luck Kimmer seems like it might be your month. Cheri predicted that I would conceive,birth or find out in December last year so I did calculations and If i did conceive this month my edd would be Dec 23 so hey She might be right after all. Babydust to all!! = |
| Answer: DJ - just checked your chart, and I saw the tests...are those pregnancy tests? or ovulation tests? Did you get a faint line on a hpt? If so....that's perfect...seeing as though it is April 1st. Wasn't April your month? = |
| Answer: Congrats to u all! I hope this is my month for a bfp that will stay I am on cd 5 one more day left of clomid and i'm done! I really hope I O by April 12th. Twin dust to us all! I am so scared tat none of these pills etc are gonna work please pray that I have a healthy baby as Iwill for u! = |
| Answer: Hi I'm new to the site new to charting and still confused over it all. I am ttc my 2nd child or 2nd and 3rd. I'm on my first round of cloimd days 4-8 I'm on day 3 of clomid. my cylcle date is 6. I also puchased some preseed to help with cm. My question are how do I know when to begin using the preseed? I also heard of people ttc using musinex, baby asprin, vit b6, and progesterone cream. How do these increase your chances and again when would you start taking them? I want to do whatever I can to increase my chances but not harm myself. Any advice would be great also when taking clomid when do they say you start o'ing . I'm so confused reading about so many different things if someone could just simplfy it or tell me what days they take what or use what thanks girls good luck to you all = |
| Answer: Hi ladies. Well, i dont have much information for you cause i dont get to see the doc for the US results till tomorrow morn. The only thing the US tech said was they are big enough to measure now.... about 5 or 5 and 1/2 wks old. That totally confused me cause the doc said last week that i was about 6 1/2 - 7 wks along for the size of fetus'.... then she comes along and says 51/2 wks "maybe" A WEEK LATER. she said no heart beat yet:-) im really starting to get worried now. based on my LMP im over 9weeks along. even if they are just measuring the gestational age....im still a couple weeks behind. I dont know..... ive lost all faith in this pregnancy. i feel like its doomed. i hate to say it, but there is no reason a twin pregnancy at this stage should have any major issues. sorry for being so down. i already cried to DH and he was supportive--im so happy about that. i just wish that if this pregnancy is not going to be viable that i just get it over with now instead of finding out in a few weeks ..... i am getting more emotional attached to the idea of having twins/..... sorry. the thought of having a D&C any further along is scary. i guess all i can do is wait till tomorrow morn for my doc opinion. If for any reason he thinks something might be wrong..... i feel like i should take care of it right away. Who am i fooling-- there arent any heart beats....but they are growing??????????? what does that mean!!!?????UGH Worst part--my family has been calling me to find out how the babies are! I guess im just going to say that i wont know until tomorrow.... = |
| Answer: Sarah** Sweetie... I'm so sorry you have to go through all this confusion. I don't really know what to say, except to wait to hear what the doc says... I hope you hear something possitive from him tomorrow. **Hoping and Kimmer** My temps went way up this morning to 99, a 1.4 deg jump, but I don't think it means much because I now have my DD's sickness. I was feeling pretty ill this morning, but quite a bit better tonight, so hopefully my temps will stay on the high side tomorrow morning. **cj** I'm excited for you too! Good luck and baby dust! = |
| Answer: Hi Ladies, I hope everyone is doing well... LOTS & LOTS OF BFPs this month... I have a good feeling about this month. **Billie** Congrats about having twins... u got to take good care dear!! **Sarah** U'll be alright... be positive thinking, I'm sure ur doc will deliver a good news. I'm praying hard for you dear. **Teddy** I hope u & ur dh are feeling a lot better, I donno much about D&C, if ur doc thinks it is ok to do it & u r ready... go for it, u r going to have a healthy baby next!! **London** good to hear from you again, good luck with iui, it will work this month :) **Kimmer & Hoping** good luck this month!! **CJ** can't wait to hear BFP from u. **Bul** How are you doing dear? ****BABY DUST TO EVERYONE THIS MONTH**** = |
| Answer: Sarah35** I understand you are stressed but this will only harm the babies try to calm down if you can. If your not as far along as you think you could have ovulated really late it takes me 4 weeks some times especially after a chemical pg. You could have had a chemical pg in between there somewhere and got pregnant before your period would have been due. this sounds strange but I believe it could be that your not tht far along and they are getting you worked up for nothing. I suggest going to a different doc or to the er where they have different equiptment to see what the say cause your doc seems like an idiot don't listen to him get yourself help elsewhere for your own piece of mind but don't stress that can cause things to get much worse. good luck and iI will pray for you. = |
| Answer: i'm here PL, just that i don't have anything to say considering all the bad news we've been hearing in this forum. i hate saying sorry, just wish i had another way to take the pain away from all of you. My baby is a big boy now, still not sure about the sex thought but i so want him to be a boy for his father's sake and cheri predicted a boy and the chinese chart says its a boy. So how are you, how far are you now. Me 13 weeks 2 days. Billie, Rowan how is it going? Ladies what happened to Meg and Vij. = |
| Answer: Hi Bul glad you are well. I'm pluggin away waiting patiently for my u/s on the 14th. Not really feeling too pg some sore bb's & hungry but nothing crappy yet. Sarah can't wait for your results. Kimmer looks good girl. PL how r u? Hoping & Teddy & all my friends sending baby dust & belly rubs. Quest: to Sarah & Billie do you know your earlyl betas? = |
| Answer: Hi Ladies.. sorry havent been on in a while, got the flu. Been sick, Today i am CD11. Tried to BD last night but i seem to be really dry, no Cervical mucus, so i called my doctor and he said i use preseed gel,, so i told DH to get it. Got my appointment on Monday, will be Cd16. If all is ok then we will be doing an IUI. To all the ladies hope all is well with url , Cant wait to hear lots of good news. April must be a even better month for us i hope. Sarah sossr honey, just hang in there. Let us know bout your appointment, Kimmer, Hoping, keeping my fingers crossed for url and to those who are in the 2ww. I still have a long way this cycle.. Eish hope this will be the last month of trying like this. = |
| Answer: Hi everyone!! *Kimmer** How are your temps today? I don't have the link on this computer, so I can't get there... my temps went back up a little bit today, nothing too drastic, but still... cm is back to wet/creamy feeling, I might test tomorrow... 10 dpo... I don't know if I can wait **Dj**I have been watching your chart and I wish I knew what to say! Have you decided to take a test? I am not sure if you ovulated later b/c of the late +OPK. I wish I had something wise to say.... have you found a new dr yet who you could ask? Also, like Kimmer said, are those OPK and HPT tests? **London** I hope Cheri is right for all of us!! She has committed quite a few of us in the next few months!! :-). **Kiahleigh** I am not sure about the first part of your questions, but I can tell you that you "usually" ov 5-9 days after your last clomid pill. I took them cd 3-7 and ov cd 15, so that was correct for me. Do you temp or use OPKs? = |
| Answer: **Sarah** I am sorry you are going through this. Let us know how your drs appt goes today. The only thing I can think of is that since twins are sharing an area--don't they grow slower? I mean, that may be totally off, but when twins come out aren't they usually a little smaller b/c they had to share the space? That might have something to do with size... Just a shot in the dark here, let us know what the dr says! I'm thinking of you girl! **Bul, Rowan, PL, Billie, Sarah, Sammommy** I'm so glad you all come back and visit. It's nice to have that refresher of "look they did it and so can I :-)"**Fatz** I am sorry you are starting all over. I told my DH I do'nt think I can handle it if this month doesn't work out. I feel like the 2ww has taken forever! It doesn't help I have this week off work (spring break) so I have more time than usual to think about it!! **As for me, cd 23, 9 dpo and now back to some creamy cm after being dryer for a day or two. Where is my crystal ball? I can't handle this!! GL to everyone **Baby Dust and O Dust and all kinds of Luck!! = |
| Answer: **Sarah** I wish you all the Luck today, just be positive and know whatever happens we all here for u. I know its hard. Im sure it will be nothing to worry about. The babies maybe just smaller but im sure they are ok. **Kimmer, Hoping** How exciting! testing days will be here soon. Just hang in there. Fingers crossed for url.. **PL** How you doing Girl? Any Morning sickness? **Rowan** How you doing? **Teddy** Whats happening with you sweetie. Did you make another appoint. to see the doc? What happening? Please let us know. **Ashgirl** Good luck to you as well. I know you testing soon as well. **Schar** What CD are you? Are you taking clomid this cycle? = |
| Answer: Hey girls! sarah - so sorry that you are going through all this heartache and confusion. Try to stay positive, and see what your doc says! You are in my thoughts this morning :) ***Hoping - so testing tomorrow? It'll be too early for me since I took that shot...well it would be + anyway...just false... My temp was 98.4 again today (same as yesterday), so it's staying up there. My chart is at fertilityfriend.com/home/kimmer23. Anyone can look...it looks triphastic right now...so hoping that this is it! Cheri predicted June for me, but I'm hoping she's wrong for me, but not you and DJ and whoever else got April ;) ***cj and ashgirl - how are my other cycle buddies? Waiting for your BFPs!! Good luck london - glad the IUI went well! ***fatz - hope you feel better! And, good luck at your doc's appt on Mon. Wow - Bul - already 13 weeks. Awesome! And, how are you feeling? And, PL - any MS? Teddy, schar, anon, etc. - good luck to all you girls too! We will all get through this ttc stuff :) = |
| Answer: Hello ladies today I am still a little crampy Ahh! Those of you that had a IUI how did you feel afterwards?Pl nice to hear from you how are you doing?Sarah jus tstay positive everything is going to be OK! Well lastnight I had a dream that I took a pregnant test and it was positive I just woke up and was like thank you jesus! I think l dreamed that because its been on my mind so much but have anyone ever dreamed of getting a positive pregnant test before you even knew you were pregnant? = |
| Answer: Kimmer** I looked at your chart (back on the labtop) and I am trying not to get my hopes up, but how do you know that is triphasic? My temps reflect yours a lot as far as jump, etc. The only difference is I only have like 2 days of the lower temps before things jump... OOHHH I'm so excited for us!! I am hoping hoping hoping!! **Okay, I am going to try to insert my chart again. It never lets me! babymed.com /tools /fertility /fertilchart /show.asp?F473210E I put a space before every slash. I hope it works! **Sarah**Any news yet? = |
| Answer: Yay it worked! Chart stalkers-stalk away!! I would love some input!! = |
| Answer: Hey everyone. I haven't been on in a while. Last week sucked so much I just had to take a break from everything baby related. My current staus is no clomid, iui, trigger, nothing this month. My heart, my body & my brain just need a break. Plus dh is having major knee surgery friday, so that rules out bd'ing for a while. I think the next step for me will be surgery to look for endometriosis. There is no other explanation for why I can't get pregnant. I am so frustrated. *London* I had major cramping for 2 or 3 days after my first iui but it wasn't as bad after the second one. *Sarah* my prayers are still with you girl! *Fatz* gl with your iui. Are you triggering? To everyone else... I hope the bfp's keep rolling in! = |
| Answer: Wow **Kimmer**! That look s like the prefect bbt chart for a pregnancy! That's awesome! and ** Hoping** if yours is similar, then I have a good feeling about both of you. My temp is only .1 dg higher then it was before my 7dpo dip... not great, but who knows, maybe it will continue to climb. If it doesn't, and I'm not pg, then I'll try this one more month and then I'm done! = |
| Answer: hi ladies-
nothing good to report. doc said now that the babies are getting bigger, he can see i am 4 weeks behind.... Basically hes saying he dosent understand why i havent miscarried yet. He thinks there is a small possibility that i will go all the way full term, and have healthy babies-- BUT theres not much hope. I go for another viability screening Tuesday again with a docs appointment to follow. SOrry i cant deliver the good news you were all hoping for. DH and I are starting to accept that we will have to have a D&C and maybe try again by summer time. I dont want to bring this great boards mood down-- so i will only post when i have something positive to say. Thanks for all your well wishes:-) = |
| Answer: Hmm..maybe it's not as close to Kimmers as I would like... we'll see **Sarah** I'm so sorry you didn't get good news this morning. Please keep us posted on everything--good news or not. That's one of the things that makes this forum so wonderful-we cry when each other cries and we are happy with each other is happy. So let us be here for you. **Ash** My temp would only be about .3 higher, so I don't know... we'll see. **Jamie** Don't lose hope. Go to goggle and type in your specific things and ttc success stories. I did that the other day and it made me feel so much better! There is always a possibility! Keep positive! We're here for you... = |
| Answer: Sarah - I'm so sorry. As Hoping said, we are here for you no matter what = please come back and post + and - news... Let us at least try to support you through this time. Here is a huge hug coming from Ohio up to Michigan... :) Hoping - your chart looks good too! I'm hoping we all (cj, ash, etc) get pg this time! That would be great! Best wishes and hoping for all of you :) = |
| Answer: totally forgot...I got my progesterone test back - it's 20.5. That's the highest it's ever been, so yay! And, my TSH (thyroid test) was 2.9. It's still slightly borderline, so they are going to start me on really low dose synthroid. That's it. = |
| Answer: Sarah please hang in there dear and never lose hope no matter what, be strong for your babies and all will be well u'll see. Hoping** can't wait for the day you announce your BFP, i see you on top of the highest building shouting it out loud for everyone to hear. To all of you ladies your turn is just around the corner. Kimmer, cheri told me on the 5th of october that my date is January, i was so hoping that she's wrong as i thought i'm pregers that month because i was a day late. then it happened that its really january. PL did cherry predict a girl or boy for you? and what is the chinese chart saying, if you don't have it and you want to know give me your conceive month and your age i'll check for you = |
| Answer: Hi Ladies,, **SArah*** Please know that we all here for you, we in this together, so as Kimmer said if you have anything + or - please still come on. Thats what this forum is for, Support is all you need right now, thats what we all need. Please i know you going thru a hard time and my heart goes out to you. I know its such a terrible feeling. At least you still have your other kids.:-) Just hang in there and be strong. maybe your babies will be ok. Il pray lots for you. Mwah************************HU-G*******************
**Kimmer-,- ** Hoping** I hope you ladies are preggers.,. Maybe url are... Do you urll feel preggers? Anything knew? When are url testing??
**Bul** Its good to see you still come on. Glad the pregnancy is going well for you. **Jamie** Dont stress sweetie, maybe a break will be good. Sometimes when you get your mind of things it just happens. I am CD 12 today. I dont think il have to trigger. Just going for a scan on Monday, If all is ok then i'll probably do the IUI on Monday or Tuesday depending when ill ovulate. Ill see wat the doc says. **Ashgirl** Just hang in there.. Maybe url also be preggers this month. I am waiting to here LOTs and LOts of BFP this month.. Please GOD let there be lots and Lots of BFP this month........................................-........................................HUGS&-gt;>>>>>>>>>>&g-t;>>>>>>>>>>>-;>>>>>>>>>>>- = |
| Answer: PL: i've had a d&c once already lol. it's not that bad, honestly, but i'd ask for the d&e if i have the choice although the doc said she didn't think i'd need one. right now i'm taking a break from work. i got a big file to transcribe and my eyes were starting to cross lol, but funnily enough i can read these boards just fine. anyway, though, i haven't bled since that saturday, tests are still strong positive even when i've had 4 cups of tea and 1 cup of water. bb's are back to being SUPER sore and of course now is the time everyone wants to give me big hugs! lol. it's alright, though. hugs are always welcome and if the bb's hurt, it's for a good reason at least. i still have cramps here and there rarely, but not bad at all. cp is high and still have all the creamy cm. still have the heartburn, burps...fun stuff! i'm going to ask the doc point blank to do the beta levels today and then again on monday so she can have SOMETHING to talk to me about on tuesday (the day before my birthday btw ^^. i turn 28 on the 9th). i don't even have an u/s scheduled!!! **sarah** one thing the u/s told me was that even though you ovulated it can take 7-14 days for it to implant and that's when it really starts growing, so you really might not be as far along as you think and that would be wonderful! good luck though. i'm thinking about you. and to answer your doc's question, you haven't m/c because you and those babies are FIGHTERS!! don't you give up, because i was measuring behind and until i see the u/s showing the sac is gone, all i think of is "well sarah's u/s showed they were behind and she's still chugging along". = |
| Answer: Teddy - please keep us updated on what gpes on in the next few days and at your doc's appt. Maybe you had twins, and lost one, but the other one is still going strong! ***Sarah - again, I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I'm sure this is incredibly hard fro both you and yur dh. ***hoping, cj, and ashgirl - how's it going? Any pg symptoms? I have been pretty tired (although probably in my head), my bs are a little tender, but not too much, I'm really gassy - more burping though - and I never do that, and I get a litell nauseous at times. But, I know it's in my head, and I know the more I think about it, the more devastated I'll be when I"m not pg. I know this month is going to be tough... So, I actually took a test this morning to see how much of the shot is still in my system. It was kinda fun to see a + test...but I know it's from the shot. But, I'll keep testing, and hopefully that line gets darker...please! please! Bul - I know that cheri is pretty accurate, but she can be wrong...so, I'm hoping! How is everyone else? Take care! = |
| Answer: Hey everyone, I took a pg test this morning at 10dpo because I couldn't wait... BFN... so I guess I'll test again in 2 days. I'm disapointed but I know it's a bit early to be testing. Also though, my temp went down a bit this morning, so my big hopes are sort of fleeting away. Hopeing, CJ, have you tested yet? Kimmer, I think your plan to see if the line gets darker is a good one. I hope it does... plus, all your symtoms sound very promising! I can't wait for the next couple days to fly by and see what happens! = |
| Answer: Morning ladies!! *Ash** Sorry to hear about your BFN. I also took a test and also a got BFN today. I'm not too upset yet, b/c I know it was early. I'll wait now and test again Monday if my temps stay up. My temp actually went up.1 again this morning, so we are slowly climbing up... we'll see. **Kimmer** I hope that Cheri is wrong for you (and you are pg this month) and right for DJ and I when she predicted April :). Then we can bring all the other girls with us and make April the biggest month ever!! I looked at your chart and things still look good.... I bet it was fun to see a + sign. I can't wait for that feeling!! When will you test again? **Teddy** So you maybe are still pregnant? That's good news, right? Let us know. I think I got a little confused in the middle of your post about what was actually going on. **Sarah** Thinking of you girl!! Let us know what happens! **Alright ladies, I'm off. My DH scheduled a pampering day for me today. We're going to lunch and then he scheduled me for a massage and pedicure. I'm very excited!! Have ag ood day! = |
| Answer: *Hoping** Have a great day sweetie. You guys did test early. = |
| Answer: Teddy it just still sounds promising! Sarah hang in there my love! Kimmer excellent levels I so hope its a bfp for you ! How is everyone else fatz , Ash, london, jaime & hoping! baby rubs ladies. = |
| Answer: Hello everyone well today i woke up a little crampy but now I feel fine. how is everything Rowan, good Luck Kimmer start the april months off for us girl !!
Babydust to all ! = |
| Answer: Hi Ladies. TOday is CD13. OPK yesterday was negative, I assume il ovulate the same as last month., around CD17 or 18. But il test everyday until its a positive, still lots of hot flushes. eish i hate it. Sick as well with the flu still. **Kimmer** Im so excited for urll. at least the 2ww is almost over. Your temps are very high. you also Hoping, they high. Maybe u ladies will be leading the way for April 2008. How exciting... **Sarah** How you keeping dear. Please check in to let us know how you doing. ANy news + or -. We waiting to hear from you.. ** Rowan*** How the Preg going? You should be around 10 weeks or so. Any morning sickness.. Eish this clomid makes you get an empty feeling in your stomach making you hungary all the time. I picked up alomost a kilo with clomid coz i constantly get hungary, and this month i have taken 100mg - days 2-6. Cant wait for my app. on Monday. At least then ill know whats happening. **Jamie** Did you IUI this cycle? What cd are you at? **Teddy*** How you keeping? Lots and Lots of Baby dust all around....HUGS./..................-..................................- = |
| Answer: Where is everyone??:-) = |
| Answer: Good day ladies! Well, my temps went down this morning by .3 points. Not a good sign. I'm starting to get more and more dissapointed. I can't help but think we should just be going down the adoption path instead. I hurt my neck yesterday and went to my regular doc, and come to find out, his wife is Ethiopian (which is where we want to adopt from). I guess I just sort of see it as another sign... **Kimmer**Hoping**CJ**How are you guys doing? Any good news to report? I'm so excited to hear what's going on with you all. **DJ** What's going on? Did you get AF? Did you test at all? **Fatz** I hope you feel better soon. We just got over the sickness in our house too** How is everyone else doing? = |
| Answer: Oh Ashgirl.. just be strong and hang in there. I know its so hard. How long are you trying for? Did dh go for tests? Are you on meds this month, what mg? DO you have any one kids? = |
| Answer: Hey girls! So, I took another test, and it's the same + - no lighter, no darker...I honestly scrutinized it and even asked dh...he started comparing the control lines instead of the test lines...ahhh, men! So, I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow. On a hppier note, my temp went back up a little...so my chart is still looking triphastic. Hoping - you asked about a triphastic chart, right? Basically if you have one temp jump after o, and then a second temp jump after 6-10 days....then it is triphastic. It doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it can be a sign of pregnancy. ***hoping, ash, cj - how are my girls? ***as for testing yesteray - it was really early. I'm only getting +s because of the shot... But, good luck girls! We need to all start off this month! Any pregnancy symptoms? Try to hang in there a few more days. ***How are all the pregnant girls - Bul, PL, Rowan, Sarah, Billie, Teddy (maybe...any news on that? It still sounds promising to me)??? ***fatz - sorry you aren't feeling well. Hopefully the flu and the hot flashed pass soon! And, good luck at your appt. ***london - good luck to you too...maybe cramping is a good thing! ***And, to anyone I forgot...sorry! Good luck and baby dust to all! = |
| Answer: You know ladies Vij hasnt come on in a very long time... I wonder how she is doing? = |
| Answer: Have a great weekend all. Hopefully next time i log in il be hearing lots of BFP. = |
| Answer: Fatz.... We were able to get pg right away when we started trying, but it ended up being an ectopic that ruptured. Now we're only working with one tube, and we've been trying for a year with no success. My cycles have been messed up ever since I had the ectopic surgery. This is my 1st month on Clomid (50mg), but the s/e are so bad, I just don't want to go through it aagin. We might try Clomid for one more month, but that's it. I don't want to get any further into other treatments because it's just been in my heart that we should adopt, so I think that's what we'll do as soon as we know where we'll be living in the next few months. My DH is Air Force, and he's coming up for orders soon after he graduates from training, so it's hard to plan anything right now. And even if we did go further with the infertility stuff, I would have to find a whole new doctor after we move and I'd just rather put my energy into an adoption that I know will work, rather then this what if stuff. I hope that makes sense... = |
| Answer: Mornin everyone! **Ash** So sorry to hear your temps have dropped again. If adoption is something you want no matter what, I would go for it, but I wouldn't give up trying either. My Aunt and Uncle were told they couldn't have kids and adopted two. Then my aunt got pregnant with my other cousin. It was a miracle, and it can happen to you, too.... Stay positive friend! **Kimmer** Your chart does look good girl! I like that it's going back up. I don't think my chart is triphasic. It jumped up after only 2 days after ov. It's still high though. I've decided to wait and test Monday as long as my temps are still high. When will you test and actually count it as your results and not the shot's effects? **Dj**Are you preggers girl? The suspense is killing me!! Get your cute tail on here and tell us what is going on!! **Fatz** Keep plugging away with those tests and BDing. I would strongly suggest BDing b/c the OPK was negative up until my temp spike. Only then was it positive. Thank goodness DH and I had BD'd anyway... hopefully I'll have an BFP soon to prove it.... **As for me, cd 25. BFN yesterday, 10dpo. Now 11 dpo. As I said above, am going to wait till Monday (14 dpo) and technically due date for af to test again as long as my temps stay high. Tests are dang expensive and I don't want to waste them.... Hoping April is the month for the rest of us!! Please check out my chart and let me know what you think my chances are .... babymed.com /tools /fertility /fertilchart /show.asp?F473210E I put a space before every slash. I need your thoughts ladies!! Have a great day! = |
| Answer: Hey girls! Hoping - checked out your chart, and I think it looks good...just keep those temps up! Do you have any pg symptoms or signs? ash - don't give up! But, adoption is awesome! So, if that's what you want anyway - go for it! I would keep trying too though...but that's just me. Hoping - to answer your ? - I'm seeing if the tests start to get darker or lighter...if they get darker, then I will count it as a bfp. Monday should be safe test date for me too. 14 dpo and 7 days after the hcg booster (which was only 2500iu or a half dose). So, we'll see.. Hopefully there is lots of good news come Mon! Good luck girls! = |
| Answer: Hello girls! Looks like everyone is doing pretty good! **Kimmer and Hoping - I am getting so excited for you to test! I guess I we will have to wait until Monday!! **Sarah - I wish I could just give you a huge hug through the computer....(((HUG)))...I guess that's the best I can do! I really feel in my heart that things are going to work out for you. I am still praying for you! **Ashgirl - how many months have you been TTC? DH and I would absolutely love to adopt as well! I think that it is the most amazing gift you can ever give a child! What CD and DPO are you on? And remember....it's not over until the fat lady sings! **Fatz - good luck with O'ing! Keep up with the BD'ing girl! **As for me...no I am not pregers :-( The pic on my FF page IS an HPT that I got a line on...I took it at night. Then the next morning took another one with FMU and got nothing. Even went and got my blood drawn for a quant test and just got the results back yesterday. My HCG is at <2 so another BFN. I am on CD33 and have no idea what is going on with me. I don't even think that I O'd this month. It is absolutely awful not knowing what is going on with your body. I even get cramping now and then...and my back has been hurting for the last week or so. Anyway...just waiting to see what happens. I am tempted to try and bring on AF but I don't have a doctor. I am still waiting for our health insurance to go through so I can't really do anything until then I guess. Sending lots of Baby Dust and O Dust everyone's way!! = |
| Answer: Ha ha! **Hoping and Kimmer** I don't think we'll ever stop trying... that's the fun part of making a baby! But you're right, I think we'll put more of our efforts into adoption as soon as we find out where we'll be living. The home study for us would be crazy otherwaise. I checked out your chart too **Hoping** and it looks really good! **DJ** I'm right there with Kimmer and Hoping... today is 11dpo and I'll probably test on Monday if AF doesn't come sooner than that. This is my 12th cycle ttc since my surgery... but a little under a year because some were only 21-24 days long... (but a few were longer too. = |
| Answer: Hping1 - Did u test. I think me and u are cycle buddies. I'm on cd 24 and I think I'm 6dpo AF is due on April 12.
Kimmer23 - Keeping my fingers cross that this is your month.
Schar - You should be o'ing on the day AF is due for me. How are you doing? This will be your month as well as for a lot of the others ladies. Sending lots of baby dust to everyone.
Sarah35 - How are you doing sending you a hug.
Jamie.s - How did DH surgery go?
Ashgirl - Sorry for the BFN maybe you tested too soon. I'm right behind you cd 24 6dpo.

| Answer: Hello all my fingers are crossed for u and twin dust to us all! I am praying this month I get a healthy baby after last months chem preg. I have a ltd so we'll see. Today is cd 9 and got hot flashes and headache. praying though! = |
| Answer: Hi everyone! 12 DPO and temp went up a little more this AM, so that's good news. I am thinking of testing tomorrow so DH can be there, too... I'll keep you all posted! Thanks for checking my chart out! I'm trying not to get my hopes up.. **Kmmers*How was the temp today? Tried to check your chart but it wasn't posted. **ASh**Any signs of AF? How are your temps? You know, they may have gone down b/c you were getting over your fever... **DJ** sorry honey. I know from personal experience how frustrating it is to look at back at a chart and be like wth? How long til your insurance gets back up and running? **Krissy** We certainly can be cycle buddies! Join Kimmers and Ash and CJ and I... by some miracle we all ovulated right around the same time! Will you be testing soon? **Schar**How are things? **CJ**Any news? **Sarah** Sending hugs your way girl!! **okay ladies, I'm off... hope you all come on here real soon! = |
| Answer: I'm doing ok just nervous because i've had so many chemical pregnancies and hoping I get my u/p progesterone soon Good luck to u Hoping I will pray u get your BFP! = |
| Answer: Hoping*** i think you O'd on cd16 which would only put you at 10dpo..... to early to test girl!! But it certainly looks great:-) Kimmers*** you didnt post your temps so i guess monday is a big day for you girls..... i sure hope to see some +++. DJ*** im not sure whats up with your chart. im thinking it was anovulatory (or NO ovulation) cycle. I hate to say it..... but just comparing it to other charts ive seen. I hope you get your insurance back soon.... i can understand that frustration. Schar & FatZ*** sending you some O dust!!!!!!!!! BUL*** thanks girl:-) ALL***** its nice to know i have a place i can vent . i never imagined i would be in this position to have to eventually decide to carry this pregnancy through knowing something could be wrong. Maybe i wont have to make that decision and i will have a MC eventually.... but my body dosent seem to be giving up. One moment im thinking maybe things could be OK, next moment im running to the bathroom to see if theres any red blood. I have been having some dark brown spotting the past few days. thats something i usually dont get when im pregnant.... but since ive never had a multiple pregnancy--maybe thats something to do with it??? Im trying to stay positive...... it just sucks i cant be excited to be pregnant cause im thinking it wont last:-( Patients. Thats what i need to pray for--even though im not religious..... i need to pray for patients that everything will be ok--whatever happens. = |
| Answer: My heart goes out to u sarah have you seena different doc and had did u get an ultrasound from a different machine? = |
| Answer: Schar** if things get more confusing, i might ask to go to the womens clinic down town detroit. i went there with DS#1 and loved the attention to detail. My only worry is that my doc is finally getting measurements on babies.... so i would think the machine is doing as much as it could at this point in the pregnancy. we will see how this progresses. I would think the further along i get-- the more details i would want of the fetus'. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks = |
| Answer: Hello everyone... **Sarah & Teddy** BIG BIG HUGZ TO YOU BOTH. U both are amazing, staying positive is the best way, since ur body & ur baby is fighting hard u too should stay fighting!! Like all the other ladies said, we are here to support u all the way. **Rowan** I really hope the iui works this cycle for u dear. **Hoping** BFP BFP please..... :) **Schar** u r going to have a healthy baby next. **Kimmer** Good luck this cycle!! **DJ** how are you doing? **ashgirl** I think adoption is a great thing to do, since u & dh have been thinking about it, I think u should go ahead. I heard a lot of stories which after the couples adopted a child, soon after they will fall pregnant. **Bul** Cheri predicted BOY for me, my cousin was telling me that since I fell pregnant in Feb, it should be a girl. But yeah, I don mind for u to check it out for me too, my conceive month is Feb, 27yrs old. As for me, I think my evening sickness is gettin a little better, still vomiting though. I still be going for my 10 wks scan this Thur, can't wait to meet out baby again. BTW, yeah I wonder how is Vij doing... and Mel too, who is having triplets. Have a good week ladies ^_* = |
| Answer: Sarah - I just can't imagine how it is not being able to be excited b/c you are just so unsure. I am praying for you love. PL glad your m/s is subsiding....what do you think your little one is? Kimmer,Schar & Hoping I can't wait for you testers!!! DJ I agree it does look annov. I had that one mth on clomid my cycle was around 57 days long. Sorry what a bummer. As for me just waiting to see if I have a healthy little one or two? I would think if I was having 2 I would feel lousier however with my beta's, grwing belly, fatigue & appetite I just wonder? Not to mention I was on injections & lots of other goodies & this is my 5th preg. = |
| Answer: Hi ladies--**Sarah** Sorry this is happening honey. I am sure it takes away from your celebrating too hard just yet... keep positive girl!! And thanks for looking at my chart **DJ**This was your first month off clomid, right? I'm wondering if that caused the weird chart... **Kimmers and ASh**How are the temps? **as for me, my temps went down a little bit today, but I had almost ewcm this morning... I don't know... If Sarah is right, I am really on 11 dpo now... I'm not sure b/c of the + OPK. I took one again that same day I got the + and it was negative... which is why I assumed I ov that day and counted from there... Anyway, any thoughts? My temp only went down .3, and that with the ewcm and kind of nausceous feelings... mixed signals... Do you have to have triphasic temps to be pregnant? B/c my temps are still definitely above the coverline. Sorry to ramble... let me know what you think! = |
| Answer: Sarah, we're all thinking of you hon. Please keep us updated with your situation. I'll continue to keep you in my prayers. Well ladies... AF showed up this morning. I have an apt with my OB on Tuesday to get another script, but I'm not sure if I want to take it again. I haven't decided yet, but I'd like to try just ttc without the clomid and just keep charting. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. I'm going to visit my parents soon and I know I'd like to help them with some major projects around their house that they aren't able to do anymore. Plus, DH brought it up again last night that we should hurry and start our adoption homestudy as soon as we got to our next assignment. I'm so happy that he's on board with all this. I asked him if he would be upset if we never had another bio child, and he said he would still like to have a son one day. I guess we'll keep trying, but with no meds and hope for the best. = |
| Answer: PL according to the chinese gender chart, 27 Feb is a BOY. you can also go to google, type chinese baby gender chart. Now lets wait and see if this is spot on or not. = |
| Answer: Rowan my fingers are crossed good luck to u!
Got a dilemma for u guys today is cd 10 and for the second time in a week I woke up with hot flashes and a bbt of 98.23 thats high for me before O my clear blue monitor said high fertility cd 8 but yesterday it didn' even ask for a strip that was weird so hopefully today it will my opk has stil been really - but I am getting side effects from the clomid still I wonder if I will O or not what do u guys think my cramps stopped so I don't know and I don't think I O'd yet cause my bbt has been high for a while since starting clomid

| Answer: Hi Ladies. Just typed and it did not want to let me post. Eish i hate when that happens. How you ladies doing? Im feeling much better thanks. Oh Sarah, Im so sorry sweetie,this must be so hard for you. Just know we all here for you whenever you feeling down or you wanna chat. Hoping those temps better stay up dear. Kimmer when you testing? hows ur temps? Schar when you testing girl? Ashgirl sorry Af showed up dear. At least you can try again. As for me CD16 today. just back from the doctor. I have 3 eggs all 18mm in my one ovary, The other ovary has nothing. the lining is a bit thin. i hope that doesnt affect it. Eish. I should only ovulate by Wednesday, i think.. I took a shot called Ovidrull. And he said i must continue the premarin twice a day till i c him on wed. If all is ok on wed, then we doing the IUI. A bit worried bout the lining. To all the other Ladies whats happening? Lots of ovulation dust and Baby dust.... = |
| Answer: **Rowan** did I missed something? R u pregnant dear? If you are.. BIG BIG congrats!!! **Bul** thanks... yeah I have a strong feeeling that I'm having a boy too :) **Ashgirl** It is great that your dh is so supportive & share the same dream as you, u guys are going to adopt a lovely child. **Fatz** wow.. 3 good size follicles!! If u're successful this cycle, u have a high chance of having triplets. G/L! **Schar** Sorry can't help u there, I don really have s/e from clomid, only ocassional hot flush (I think) & weight gained. I gained 2 kg from clomid, since I'm pregnant, I lost 2kg... not sure if it is from the vomiting or because of the clomid. My sis-in-laws who have a 6 months baby.... is very likely pregnant again. She called yesterday telling me she did the test and can see a shadow of +. She started trying for 2nd right after she stop 3 months of breastfeeding. She is definately a fertile one!! hahahaha = |
| Answer: As soon as O comes I will be testing 6dpo this month I am not scare of a chem pregnancy cause i'll have progesterone if it gets here on time we'll see good luck to u Fatz and congrats again Pl how far along are you? = |
| Answer: What size follicles do i have to have to get pregnant? what does the ovidrel do ??? = |
| Answer: Fatz... 3 follies! That's great! I think you're well on your way to having a few healthy babies! PL. I agree that its cool DH is supportive of adoption. He wasn't that way a few years back when I brought it up, but he's slowly warmed to the idea and is pretty excited about it now. I think men have to analyze a lot more about it then women do. **Hoping, Kimmer, CJ** Did any of you test this morning? I'm waiting for some good news! = |
| Answer: Hi ladies**Schar** I think hot flashes can be one of the se of clomid, but I would just watch cm and stuff, too. GL to you!! **Ash** Sorry af showed. I think I'm about to join you in that boat, soon and we'll be cbs again... my temps dropped big time this morning... .6 degrees and back to right above my coverline. It's weird b/c the last few days I have been nausceous, have had this weird taste in my mouth and had lots of cm, so I thought for sure this was it for me, but it looks like my temps show otherwise. We'll see. I will take clomid again this month, maybe stick with my drs original days of 5-9? I just had heard so many more success stories with 3-7. Cheri predicted April for me as either find out or conceive, so I guess I still have time to conceive in April.... Anyway, so I didn't test b/c my temps went so low. Figured what's the point. :(. **Kimmer**How are you dear? I am hoping you will be the good news for us today! **Fatz**Congrats on 3 follies! That' s awesome. It only takes one honey! Get to BDing :-). Okay ladies, I"m off. I'll check back in later to see Kimmers good news! **Cj**What's going on with you? = |
| Answer: Sorry girls, I'm out. Got af (lightly) today and my temps drops some to right above my coverline. You can of course aee on my chart. I'm not in the best mood, but I'm trying really hard to feel like this is a new start, not a lost cycle...it's just so hard cycle after cycle to stay positive...I know you all know that. But, I was having so many good signs (from the stupid shots). I'll write more later...Talk to ya later girls! = |
| Answer: Kimmer I'm so sorry I don't even know what to say to help. PL yes you are silly I am 6 weeks pg. Howz being preg? I go for my u//s on the 14th. Ash sorry af came. Fatz great follies! Hoping how r u? = |
| Answer: Ashgirl, Hoping and Kimmers-- that really sucks. i had my fingers crossed for all 3 of you. I will keep posted though... ive seen weirder things happen (look at me :-)). I get my US tomorrow. were hoping for a heartbeat by tomorrow for sure-- otherwise we are really in deep *hit. have a great monday!!!!!!!!! TEDDY*** whats happening????? = |
| Answer: Hi everyone... **Kimmer** So sorry to hear af is rearing. I totally understand, as I know many of us do, how frustrating it is to go month after month with no results. Gosh I don't know how much longer I can do this and try to stay positive.. but we'll be here for each other, and that is important. No signs of AF for me yet, probably tomorrow... who knows... still lots of cm, maybe I have something else going on with me? **Sarah**I'm hoping you hear the heartbeats tomorrow! Sign on and let us know once you know! Have a good day ladies! = |
| Answer: ok - I'm done feeling sorry for myself. I'm fine...just disappointed :( But, I'm just spotting right now, waiting for full-blown af. But, I know it's coming later today since my temps dropped... cj - what's up with you? And, hoping - maybe you are still pg? Your temps are still up, just not as much... And, ash - we can be cycle buddies again! Rowan - hope your u/s goes well...and 2 beans are healthy and well in there! Sarah - good luck tomorrow! Please let us know. We are all pulling for you girl! Good luck to everyone else...schar, fatz!! = |
