Kimmer23 - Good Luck to you, keeping my fingers cross. What cd are you on? I am on cd 15 yesterday I started the opk and according to someof the ladies I got a positive so I needed to bd I didn't get a chance to yesterday but when I got off at 3am I got busy LOL and I will try again before the end of the day. I have a very sick 3 year old. Also I am starting to have a little more discomfort in my lower right side is this the early signs of getting ready to O. Should I take another opk today I took 2 yesterday and they both were the same the only difference is the second one both the lines were positive but they were just a tab bit lighter then the first one. According to FF I should o on cd 18 but today is the first day of me being fertile with Tuesday being the last day. Will update. Krissy68 ↑

So this morning (either CD10 or 11) my temps jumped more then 6 degrees to 98.58. I guess that could be good, plus that fact that I STILL keep having all these weird crampy feelings and lots of CM. I just don't kow why else my temps would go up so much.... (I don't feel sick or anything like last month) so maybe just a fluke since I was up in the middle of the night when DH got home from being out. But now I think I should start avoiding coffee again just in case! **Kimmer, sounds like you've got a good follie. How long does it take after your trigger shot for the egg to release? **Krissy, I would go ahead and take another test today too since many women get +'s for two days in a row. **Shar... I don't know what to say. I know I'd be confused too. ↑

Hi ladies** just an update. It is confirmed that i have clear cell carcinoma in my uterus/endo area.... they think thats where it is. Im just showing tiny flakes of the clear cells which may hopefully mean i caught it at the earliest possible phase. THANK GOD i got pregnant and miscarried when i did otherwise it may have gone undetected till i got sick. The oncologist is very aggressive and is optimistic that the most i may have to go through is a Full Hysterectomy and maybe some chemo.... but im not even thinking past the hysterectomy right now. I know this is a shock--for you as it is for my and my family ...but i call it LUCKY. if i had not had that DNC , like i said, it may never have been found until it was progressed really far. I still havent told my mom and dad yet cause my dad is 82 and my mom 74.... i dont want to worry them. i may tell her that im getting the hysterectomy cause they see abnormal cells and we dont want to test fate.... so we will see. She knows i had a biopsy done last Nov that came back clear... so im hoping she will think its part of the same thing. BTW, PAPs DO NOT screen for uterine/endo/ovarian cancers. just in case your wondering. DnC are really the closest you can get to real testing. I am trying to stay strong and positive and the fact that i cant have kids anymore dosent even bother me because i want to be healthy and around for my kids and DH. I will pop in from time to time to check on you ladies..... i would hate never knowing how your journeies have progressed. Talk later guys:-) ↑

Sarah I'm so sorry just remeber there are options and you can still have a baby good luck! As for me my bbt was 97.25 no O my temps are so screwy this month I wasted so much money on ovulation klits and everything. Praying af starts asap I think it may be early cause temp keeps dropping it's due the second but think it may be here by monday then clomid 1-5 100mg and hope it works ↑

**Kimmer** Thanks for the new thread!! Good luck for this month - I got everything crossed for you xx **Hoping** Looking good for you too honey. **Sarah** I am so proud of you for the way you are handling your situation. But then that shouldn't surprise me - you've always come across as such a strong willed woman. We are all here for you sweetie xxx **Fatz** I really hope this is your month. **Schar** You never know you might just have that BFP too!! **Krissy** Keep bedding girl. As for me CD20 so just gotta wait and see. **Loads of luck to everyone** ↑
Name: ashgirl | Date: Apr 28th, 2008 7:54 AM
OK, so I messed up typing my last post. that was supposed to read 10-11DPO, not CD. Anyway, today is about 12 DPO and I just don't know. Should be getting crampsby now, but nothing. I felt really sick to my stomach last night too, and DH said maybe your pregnant and I just laughed! I'm tired of hoping/believing it could be true. **Sarah** I'm so sorry about your situation, but you're right dear, that m/c probably saved your life. It's amazing how things work sometimes. I still feel aweful about your loss, but it is also so important for you to be around for the rest of your family. You're in my prayers still Sarah. I know you said your not a very religous person, but it can't hurt, right? Take care sweetie, and please keep us updated. ↑

*sarah35* I know I'm new but I am very sorry for your loss. I have many family members who have gone through similar situations. Keep god in your heart. As for me I started temping about 4 days ago. I haven't O'd yet. Just waiting. My doc says I may not anyway and it is my first month off the pill so things are probably pretty wacky anyway. We just spent the weekend at my Dh grandparent's house with brother and sister-in-law who have a 5 month old. The whole weekend we kept giving each other the look as if to say we're gonna have one of those. His grandfather kept looking at me and saying to " I want some more of these." They're both 85 and say well before we die we want want lots of great-granchildren. I hope its sooner than later. ↑

Hi ladies-- looks like it was pretty quiet this weekend! **Sarah** I just want you to know I'm thinking of you. You are handling this the most positive way! Let us know how things are going! **Kimmer**How are things? **Fatz**How are you doing girl? **Ash**Have you taken a HPT yet? I mean, what's it hurt? 12 DPO is far enough along to have a good chance of it being accurate. I completely know what you mean about second guessing every little thing... I hope this is it for you! **DJ**What's going on? Hows the new doc? **Schar**Any signs of AF? **As for me, 7 DPO. My temps have been crazy! I was 98.3, then dipped to 98.1, and today is up to 98.7. I am trying to not get my hopes up b/c I think it might be related to the fact I have a horrific cough and was up half thenight coughing... but it's still fun to hope! I think I will test Thursday 10 dpo, I don't think I can't until Saturday... Anyway ladies.... come on soon and let us know what's going on! ↑

Hi girls! sarah - I'm so sorry dear. I'll pray for you and your family. It's wierd how things work - you are right, the miscarriage probably saved your life for you and your family. That's a blessing, but still hard to take, I"m sure. Try to hang in there, and you are in my thoughts and prayers that you get through this quickly. Sounsd like others are well...schar and ash - when are you testing? schar - did you figure out what's going on...did you o? Hoping - you too? Sounds like this could be a good month for at least some of you...I'm hoping it is!!! krissy - I hope you got some bd'ing in with tha little one being sick. Good luck! Good luck donna and cj too! I'm 1 dpo...I think. My temp didn't go up that much this morning ( only .2), but I should've o'ed yesterday. I'm supposed to start progesterone tonight, but I know it will raise my temp...and I want to be sure I o'ed first. Do you think it's ok to wait one extra day to start the progesterone? Thanks and take care girls! ↑
Name: schar | Date: Apr 28th, 2008 4:57 PM
no O for me af should be here by may 2nd for sure had a bit of spotting and bbt 97.2 so here we go again and this is my last month of clomid ↑
Name: Krissy68 | Date: Apr 28th, 2008 7:42 PM
Ashgirl - I didn't test over the weekend cd 16&17 because I left my last opk at work but I did test today cd 18 and got another + that makes 3 + cd 14, 15 and 18 according to fertility friend I started being fertile on cd 15 with me ovulating on cd 18 and cd 19 being the last day of being fertile. I'm really starting to have signs of ovulating but this will be twice this month I had it earlier last week.
Sarah35 - I'm still shock and sad at the same time but like you said everything happens for a reason. I guess maybe it was a blessing in disguise. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Cj1 - Well I'm on cd 18 and I got another + on my opk so that makes 4 I have taken. I took 2 on cd 14 and got a + and then I took another one on cd 15 and got +. I have been bding so much that I am just plain tired we have bd on cd 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18. I will try and bd one more time before I go to work tonight since today is the big day. I'm having some signs, keeping my fingers cross for you.
Schar - Could it be implatation spotting?

Hi ladies. **Sarah** I really admire your positive attitude, although you have been going through soooo much trouble and heart ach, I know at the end of the road, it is going to be something special for you dear. You are right, your twin babies saved your life, everything happen for a reason. As you said, the most important thing now is to get well soon, and your family are there to support you. So do we!!! Take good care yeah. As for me I think I'm officially in 2nd tri (13 wks). My sickness almost all gone, a little more energetic. However, my back is killing me, I cannot bend or kneel for too long. I was clearing all my stuff and giving away all my old clothes...bags of them, at the end, it could hardly walk properly and couldn't even sit or stand without any pain. I'm seeing a chiro though. Hopefully that helps. Anyway, enough of me. Good luck for those we are ovulating and those who are waiting. ↑

good outlook but my af is due the second I get this every month but hopefully clomid works second time around ↑
Name: Hoping1 | Date: Apr 29th, 2008 8:35 AM
Hi ladies! **Schar** Sorry it looks like AF is onher way--- I forget-were you on clomid this month? **Ash**How are things? **DJ** I saw you're on a new cycle-- will you be taking clomid this month? **Kimmer**How are the O signs? **As for me, cd 22, 8 dpo. Temp was back to 98.2 today. I really think the high temp was just b/c of being sick. Lots of EWCM, though! Anyway, let me know what you think! Have a good day! ↑
Name: schar | Date: Apr 29th, 2008 8:53 AM
hoping I was on clomid 50mg cd 2-6 and did not O so I will be on 100mg cd 1-5 which should start soon with all this spotting 2 days now ewcm is not really a sign of pregnancy if that what your asking but extra cm is like watey u can try a first response hpt it's not too early I got mine with my last m/c at 8dpo ↑

Hi Ladies. Hope url all doing ok.. **Sarah** Im so sorry to hear that heartbreaking news, Just know that you will be ok.. Lucky they found out now, and lucky you did get preg, otherwise as you said , they would have only picked it up when you were sick.. Just know you in our prayers and have faith and be strong. We all here for you.. DOnt give up hope... Ever!! **Schar** Sorry you didnt ovulate girl... **Hoping** Hey girl, when are you testing?? Good luck to you.. Cheri said April was your month. **Kimmer** Goodluck girl, at least you ovulated.. Now you ladies are all in the 2ww.... Everyone else how are you guys doing?? ↑
Name: Kimmer23 | Date: Apr 29th, 2008 9:32 AM
Hi everyone! sarah - I agree with fatz (and everyone). You are so strong, and you WILL get through this too. Hang in there. Hoping - good luck testing! 8 dpo is kinda early, but who knows! Cheri did say this was your month ;) Fatz - where are you in your cycle now...still taking clomid? schar - good luck on the next round! Maybe the higher dose of clomid will work! PL - so glad you are feeling better...wow, the 2nd trimester already. congrats! krissy - how do the opks look? Are both lines the same darkness? Or is the test line lighter. The test line with me is always present, it just gets arker when you o. Just making sure.... Good luck o'ing and more! As for me...2 dpo...nothing much to report. How is everyone else? ↑

Name: ashgirl | Date: Apr 29th, 2008 10:21 AM
Well, my temps are still up this morning but I started to spot a little. It has me a bit worried because it's brown and watery, not red blood (sorry if TMI) and that's exactly what happened with my ectopic last year. I'm hoping it turns into a normal AF, and that my temps go back down in the next couple days. I'm probably just paranoid from last time! lol! Anyway, Schar** I bet the higher dose will do the trick. **Hoping, glad your temps are still good. Sickness can definitly make it hard to read the signs, huh? **Donna, glad you decided to temp/chart. It'll be good to see if you O on your own at all. **Krissy, sounds like your doing the right thing. I'm sure your OPK's are just picking up all your fertile days. With me, when I tested, I would get faint lines, and they would progressivley get darker until I O. Good luck with all the BDing girl! It'll pay off for you! ↑
Name: Hoping1 | Date: Apr 29th, 2008 2:02 PM
Hi ladies! **Schar** I've never heard of starting clomid that early--what did your dr say are the benefits? I'm just curious.. I thought days 3-7 was early! GL to you!**Ash** You may just be gun-shy, but there's no reason to not learn from past experiences. I would keep an eye on things and if it persists, call your dr. **Fatz** Hope you are keeping up your spirits girl. I know this rollercoaster is a rough one. **Kimmer**I saw your chart--so glad the temp shot up there! Didn't Cheri say June for you? She was right for Bul and, fromthe looks of the website, with lots of other people, too. So hopefully she's right with us! **Schar** I thought excess ewcm was a good sign, but maybe not. I'm starting to feel better so I hope my temps might return to some kind of normal. You're right, ASH, it's hard to know what's going on with the sickness. I have been choking down those flaxseed pills- I hate them. They're big and they make me want to gag. So I"m hoping hoping hoping this is the month! I will probably still wait until 10dpo (Thursday) to test at the earliest. It may depend on my temps... Anyway, have a great day ladies! ↑

hey all, I am new here. I am ttc and getting ready to start clomid in a couple weeks. Can you guys tell me if caffeine can affect your fertility? If so does that apply for the man too? ↑
Name: schar | Date: Apr 29th, 2008 10:36 PM
hoping extra ewcm is not a bad sign I was just saying that while pg it is usually that cm is usually not like ewcm but it is good to have extra cm all together mine was watery all 3x but thats just my body. there was a study done on clomid cd days 1-5 and 5-9 the people in the 5-9 goup did not get pg the first month but people in the 1-5 group on the first month got pg 24%, I figure 24% is better than 0%, so I have also seen lots of triplets concieved on 1-5 I am an experiment what ever helps also it should help me O earlier cause last try was such a failure, also the earlier in your cycle you take clomid the lower the risk of side effects on the uterine linning thats a biggie 5-9 is not so good if u really read in to it. (FLAXSEED- is not good for you i pregnancy I'll get the study to show u guys thanks all for your comments and good luck I am praying for us all!!!!!! ↑

Many pregnant women are now also taking a high quality pharmaceutical grade pure fish oil supplement. This gives you the important nutrients of DHA and omega-3 for healthy babies.
It has been shown in clinical studies that diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil which provides DHA, will help to provide nutritional support to a baby's visual, nerve and brain function.
Fish oil capsules vary in quality. Distilled pharmaceutical grade fish oil is thought by many to be the very best quality. Don't take any chances on the quality of some "mystery fish" oil ... the very best kind we've ever found in our endless research is this amazing best quality fish oil.
Warning: Your doctor will probably say, do not take flaxseed oil during pregnancy. Don't try to get omega-3 that way. Get it from fish oil instead. Flaxseed oil can have an effect upon estrogen and hormones, like soy can. It is for postmenopausal women, not pregnant women!
Read our information about flaxseed oil and pregnancy before taking any flax seed oil.
Talk to your doctor. Be very careful to avoid most herbs and supplements when pregnant or nursing. Most Moms only take prenatal supplements and the best quality fish oil pills. Always get the advice and approval of your doctor before taking any supplement during pregnancy, breastfeeding or when experiencing pregnancy symptoms.
Hi Ladies, I was hoping I could join your thread you seem to be a great support system. I am starting clomid as soon as af gets here hopefully any day now. We have been ttcing for over a year now so doc is going to let me try 50mg, hopefully it will give me the boost I need. *Schar* I saw that same study on the cd1-5 vs. cd5-9. Doc was going to prescibe cd3-7 but I convinced him to let me at least try cd2-6. But I'm confused on the flaxseed oil thing. I read it is a phytoprogesterone so its good to take it after O because it helps boost your progesterone. But not to take it once you get your bfp cause no studies out there show it helps after that and it could effect estrogen levels as well. Hhmmm... anyways that seems to be the general consensus out there on it.... OK now I need to go back and get caught up on everyone. Hope you all don't mind if I join in now and then. ↑
