KRISSY how are you i've been wondering how you're going? what CD are you on now??? WORTHTHEWAIT - i guess i spoke too soon about having no s/e on CD5 i was awake half the night having hot flushes and the same again last night. I know it sounds stupid but i was kinda relieved to have side effects - hopefully this means its working!!! today is CD7 i have my last pill to take tonight :) ↑
Geya823 and Krissy68, thanks for the responses! I can't wait to start...I have such high hopes. But after reading through all the posts and everyone's experiences it has helped me to accept that this might not be the "miracle" drug for me and it might take more than a try or two (or more!). I'm willing to keep at it! Thanks!! ↑
Oh no KAZ!!! So sorry about the hot flashes!!! Bummer! But I agree with you, maybe it's just working that much more!!! Keep me posted...I can't wait to be hot flashin' with you!!! :} (still have many days before I can start!) ↑
KAZ - Hey girlie what's going on with you. Today makes cd 12 and I have been bding since cd 9 but I'm not stressing or anything like that I am just going with the flow if we do we do and if we don't then we don't. I didn't bring my opk internet test strip with me to work cause I was rushing so when I get home I will test and see what it says. I know last cycle I ovulated on cd 15 and the cycle before that I ovulated on cd 13. Also tonight is the last night of me taking the estrodoil and I can't wait.
worththewait - You will do fine once you start taking the clomid just stay positive and go with the flow and you could be one of the lucky ones and get pg on your first try.
Hey ladies everybody have a great weekend! Krissy68 ↑
Krissy68, thanks so much for the encouragement! At least I know that if I take some time at this, I feel I now have a lot of people to talk to about my ups and downs! I go for my blood pregnancy test tomorrow...I'm not supposed to do it until Monday but I'm tired of waiting and I know for a fact that I'm not pregnant. So once my doc confirms that I'm not pg I'll get my next Provera prescription to induce my perdiod again. I had an HSG done a month ago so we at least know that's not the problem. DH has a S/A to do Monday but that should be it for the testing for now. Then I can start my Clomid! I've had the pills for over a week now and I keep staring at them, I'm getting so impatient!!! Oh well, happy weekend to all!!! ↑
Hello krissy68 how is ya doing good luck for this month. Also good luck worththewait n i hope when ya start taking the clomid it works for you the first month. I also want to say sorry 4 my depressed out look the other day! i feeling better now n trying to take my mind of it on cd 7 taking all clomid now yeah not many side effects this time tho so a bit worried by that this is going to be my first month of taking the robitussin and the baby aspirin so hopefully that will help i just pray i ovulate this month. Also the robitussin taste dreadfull dont know how i gona take it 3 times a day lol hopefully it will be worth it. i stilll on the 50mg this month wish i had gone back to the doc n asked 4 an increase really well good luck and baby dust to everyone x x x ↑
Ouch, the nurse couldn't find my vein so she had to stick me in both arms!! Good grief!! Anyway, now I'm just waiting for Monday to roll around so I can get my Provera. That's about it! Just waiting!! Oh, Krazydaisy666, when I start the Clomid I'm gonna be taking the Robitussin and baby asprin too...now I know I should start the Robitussin after the last Clomid pill and I end after I ovulate, right? When do I take the baby asprin? The same days? Or do I continue the asprin longer? Good to hear you're feeling better! Lots and lots of baby dust to you this month, and to everyone!!! ↑
Hi ladies! well today is CD9 for me so we will start BDing every 2nd night from tonight... fingers are crossed! (and legs afterwoulds to keep it in LOL) WORHTHWWAIT - any sign of AF yet??? i feel for you - i had like a 50 day cycle last month. KRAZYDAISY - i'm glad you are feeling better :) it sucks not being able to take any more leave - when its probably all you need. KRISSY - are you ovulating yet?? ↑
worththewait - No problem, I will help you out anyway I can. What days are you taking your clomid on? I hate getting blood work done especially when the nurse don't know what the hell they are doing.You can start the baby asprin on cd 1 and take it all the way through your cycle and I think once you get your bfp on your hpt then stop taking the baby aspring and you are right about the robintussin. This cycle I didn't do the baby aspring or take robintussin but I did the clomid and estrogene and the estrogene dried me up so I should have took the robintussin oh well I will in a few more days start the progesterone gel and I will let you know what is going on with me.
Krazydaisy666 - How are you doing? Good Luck to you as well this cycle. Whenever I take Robintussin I always chase it with water, I hope this help.
KAZ - Hey girl get to bding away (smile) Well I started the opk testing on friday which was cd 12 and it was bfn and my temp was97.93 and then on cd 13 my temp was 98.23 and I got a bfp and then on cd 14 my temp was 98.07 and I got another bfp. As of today it is cd 15 and my temp it 98.36 but I haven't done my opk testing because I left the test strip at home so as soon as I get home I will be testing. I have so far bd on cd 9-11 and 13-15. Keeping my fingers cross for you please keep me updated. Krissy68 ↑
KRISSY - now i'm confused... i thought you started the asprin when you ovulate and take the guafinessin untill ovulation??? Help??? should i be taking asprin now? Today is CD11 for me i will let you know when i get a + OPK... hopefully i'll get one... I dont do the temp thing at all anymore cause i always forget to test b4 i get out of bed and at the same time so - i'm always running around making lunches for DS and DH half asleep, feeding pets etc b4 i remember to take my temp. WORHTTHEWAIT - any joy with AF yet??? KAZ ↑

Hi girls! Well, I'm finally on the path to af! Started my Provera tonight! So hopefully I'll start af in about 10 days which means hopefully I'll be on Clomid in about 2 weeks! Woohoo!! (Geeze, can I really drag this out or what???) Ok Krissy, so it's baby aspirin cd 1 to bfp (or dreaded af)? And Robitussin is last Clomid pill till ovulation? Whew, so much to do! :) Thanks for the info! Krazydaisy, did you notice a difference in cm after taking the robitussin!! I hope all the (bleh) days of downing it worked!!!! And KAZ, bd'ing like crazy I hope? I unfortunately have to be consistent with my temp cause until my cycles get a little regular doing the opk's gets a little tricky (and expensive). Every so often my dog (who sleeps with us cause he's my baby now!) will do something to get me out of bed and I miss my chance to temp! I can't wait until I can pop out of bed instead of try to barely move as I reach for the thermometer!! So you girls are all on a similar cycle, huh? That's so great! Hopefully one of these days I'll actually know what cycle day I'm on and can put more informative posts up instead of blabbing on like I'm doing now!! :} lol!!! Anyway, you all are so close to THE time!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!! ***BABY DUST!!!*** ↑

Krissy, I forgot...I'm gonna be on Clomid cd 3-7 :) Thanks!!!!! ↑
WORTHTHWAIT - Goodmorning! i hope AF is on its way. i tried th natural approach last month to bring AF on - i just finely sliced about a thumb sized portion of ginger, added some tea leaves and suger for taste and steeped in boiling water for about 15 mins (was supposed to be 5 but i forgot about it) , drained the fluid into a jug, put it in the fridge and poured myself about 150 - 200mls 3-4 times a day (it doesnt taste too good, so drink it quick!) and on the night of the 2nd day AF arrived. You can do the same thing with papaya or parsley but i just used the ginger because it was easier to get as i live in a small town where we dont get much fresh produce. I got this recipe from my natrupath so its all good. (a bit like a witches brew LOL!) Well today is CD12 and no +OPKs yet but BDing anyways!!! By the way you are welcome to come and post in the clomid success stories thread, that is where i am most of the time, its also quicker to load cause its not as long as this one!! Kaz ↑
WORTHHTEWAIT - i forgot to tell you that the guafinessin (robitussin)definately works, I have had great CM so far and i havent even had to use the pre-seed yet! .................Oh and i was on 100mg CD3-7. ↑
PS WORTHTHEWAIT - if you are worried about CM i have a post under General Pregnancy called 'info on evening primrose oil and healthy CM for getting pregnant" that contains alot of info i have cut and pasted. i think it is near the bottom of the second page of threads. ↑
Hi KAZ, wow, you are a wealth of information! Thanks so much!! What an interesting way to bring on af!! I'll have to try that some time!! It'll save me the cost of a prescription! So is that why this page always takes so long to come up? Cause there's a lot of messages? I'll check out the other places too! Thanks! Ok, so I am on day 2 of Provera and dh got his results back from the s/a. They were normal!! (Of course he begs to differ...he thinks they should be called "super", not "normal"!! lol!!!) Krissy, were you able to get your opk's? bfp?? I hope so!!! Good luck!!!! And Krazydaisy, is this about the time you start doing the opk's too? Baby dust!!!! (P.S. - you girls (and everyone here) have been so great...it's so wonderful to find people to listen and share and understand!! Thanks!!!!) ↑
Hello everyone hope everyone is doing fine. Hi ya KAZ that is a really interesting way to bring AF on. Also i brought evening primrose oil the other day strangly enough when do u think i should start taking it i was going to start on my next cycle. I am a bit worried this month i had o on day 12 last month and it day 12 for me now and nothing. I was doing opk but it was makng me low all the negatives i get really worried incase they are all going to be negative so dont now what to do 4 the best. I agree with you worththewait every one has been so nice n it really helps me talking on her n everyone on her has been so kind n friendly thanks so much. What day are you on Krissy good luck for this month n to every one. I am really worried this month for some reason i feel sure i am not going to o i think it because all my work hours have changed so i feel like everythin changed n my body will have to try n adjust to that as well i dono may not make a difference. Baby dust to everyone i really want some good news soon x x thanks girls x x ↑
worththewait - Yes, I used my opk test strip. I used them on cd 12-15 I o'ed on cd 14 I figured I would because last cycle I o'ed on cd 15 and the cycle before that one I o'ed on cd 13. How are you doing?
Krazydaisy666 - I'm on cd 18 4dpo and so far so good. Try not to stress but I know that is easier said then done. Saying a prayer for you. Krissy68 ↑
DAISY - how you feeling now? you should take the EPO for as long as you can before ovulation. i've been taking the guafinessin - but only half as much and my CM has been great - almost too much!! You and me are only a day or so appart - i'm on CD15 today (today is the 23rd already here...) and i still haven't ovulated yet... fingers crossed that i still will... WORTHEWAIT - Thankyou, but oi dont know everything there is too know, i just ask my doctors and natrupath alot of questions then i research it some more and ask them more questions... i hate putting stuff in my body when i dont know what it is or how it will work etc.... anyways... any sign of AF yet?? Kaz ↑

Hi girls! I have been so swamped with homework! Yes, I am STILL in college...I'm apparently on the 11 year plan!! I want to graduate before I have a baby, I only have 5 classes to go!! Anyway, tomorrow I take my last Provera pill. The last time I was on Provera af arrived 5 days after. However I kinda think my body really wants to start sooner...I've had menstrual-like cramping the last few days. I hope it happens soon!! Also I'm worried about timing...DH will be away for about 4 days in early September and I just have this awful feeling that I'll O when he's out of town!! Oh well, I guess we'll just have to bd the day he leaves and the day he gets back. Sperm live for about 5 days, right? So Krissy, are you still bd'ing or is it the 2ww already? Good luck to you!!! Let us know if you feel anything!!! Krazydaisy, did you get your bfp on the opk? Maybe it's just a day or so later than last cycle? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!! KAZ, yay, +OPK!!! Get to work!!! LOL!!! Have a really fun weekend girls!!! ↑
Hello everyone! Sorry, started teaching again so haven't had much time on the computer. Well, I finished my 1st round on Clomid 50mg and the only side effects I experienced was hot flashes. I just had my day 21 progesterone test on Wednesday and got my result today -- 36! I ovulated. They said it was too early to know if I'm pregnant or not. I'm not getting my hopes up -- I guess I'm used to the disappointment. But, I'm glad that it's working for ovulation. Before this round, my progesterone at day 21 was 7. Anyways, baby dust to everyone! ↑
Hello everyone, punktaw that is brilliant news that u ovulated though good luck to u for this month and KAZ yeap i am on day 15 and i have not ovulated yet i am not doing any more ovulation tests though because just makes me sad seeing only the one line lol. Actually just wondering when people take there tests on the net it says not to do it first thing in the morning but i have been oops and good luck Krissy68 great news that u od c ya all soon baby dust x x and smile x ↑
I highly recommend the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. I bought the book cheaply on Ebay and have really enjoyed it. It's real. It helps ease fears and everything. ↑
worththewait - Way to go stay in school until you finish you are almost at the finish line. I am on cd 22 and 8dpo and yes I am still bding even though it is just for fun now. I have fertility friend and this is the first that I have seen this yesterday I was 7dpo and it dip below my coverline but today it went way back up so now I have 7 days above the coverline and 1 temp below the coverline not really sure what this mean but I have never had this before. I will keep you posted. How are you doing? I hope you don't ovulate until dh get back home.
punktaw - That's good news I am so happy for you. Thank you for the update I will keep my fingers cross for you!
Krazydaisy666 - I don't test in the morning with my opk test and I get them off the internet as well. I either test after 2pm or 4pm that is what works best for me. Thank you but I always ovulated or at least I think I did anyway my problems is just the timing but I think I got it right this time. I am just waiting to see what is going to happen. I am on cd 22 8 dpo and the earliest I can test is Aug 30-31 but AF should be here on Sep 3. I will keep you updated. Krissy68 ↑
First time on. After ttc with dh for 1 year, many false alarms and blood tests, should finally be starting combo of provera and clomid 50mg days 3-7 in two days. DH & I been together for 8 years and had been on bcp since 1996 and got off them in Nov. No ovulation per dr but no cysts and hopefully no other problems. Thankful for forums like this to be able to talk to others with same issues. Had never considered mucinex/robitussin idea until reading here. Here's baby dust to all and hoping dh & I can get a peanut in my bellers for my 28th bday in two weeks. Thanks! ↑

YAY - CD1!!!! AF came and since this means I can FINALLY start my CLomid, I am super excited!! Also, mother nature was kind enough to have her wait for just enough time so that way dh is back from his trip about 3 days before my expected ovulation date!! So far everything seems to be falling in place!! Thanks for the encouragement about school Krissy! There were many times throughout this school journey in which I was ready to give up. Thankfully I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel, so I am really motivated! I don't know what that means, to have your temperature dip during this phase? Maybe it's a good thing, like how sometimes it dips right before you ovulate? I dunno, but I'm leaning on the side of it being a great sign and you'll be getting your bf very soon!!!! Any pregnancy symptoms? Good luck!!! KAZ and Krazydaisy, you two are on the 2ww as well, right? Anything new?? Did you ever get a +OPK? How about your temps, staying up there? Baby dust baby dust baby dust!!!!!! Punktaw, have you tested yet? I hope this is the month for you!! I hope there are no more disapointments for you! And hi praying4peanut! Dh and I have been trying for a year too and I am also on Provera and Clomid! Well, actually I'm not on Clomid just yet, have to wait till Saturday. I hope it works for you right away!! Let me know how it goes!! Good luck to all!!!! Can't wait to hear all about the bfp's!!!!!!!!!!! ↑
Name: worththewait | Date: Aug 28th, 2008 10:35 AM
good morning to everyone! I love reading all of your stories,I myself will be starting the 50mg of clomid days 3-7 on my next cycle in september.Good luck to all ↑
praying for peanut I kinda sounds like we are in the same boat, I have very speratic periods and I guess I dont ovulate either,but we will be trying to conceive after my 28th b-day in 4 wks! good luck ↑
