| Answer: gurinsa - I'm cd 3 and will be taking pre nat vit/ baby asprin/clomid/estrodoil/robintussin/using my opk test strip/progesterone gel. I agree we do need some more BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we don't want Sarah to be lonely (smile) Krissy68 = |
| Answer: Krissy, what is the baby asprin for? I have heard you gals mention it before but never figured out what it is good for? Thanks = |
| Answer: Hey Ladies! I'm new to this so I was wonderin if I could join in? Today is the 2nd day of my af so I believe thats cd2 right? I have low progesterone and high prolactin so I've done some research and heard lots of success about chasteberry and the prog cream - How long have you been doing that Krissy ? Thanks for any info and lots of baby dust for BFP! = |
| Answer: Krissy- why do you take some many things? What are they for. Well I wish I could say that I'm cd1 or 2 or 3 or 4. lol But I can't because AF is late. and BFN so I'm just waiting for AF to show up some day. lol = |
| Answer: Lillybug - how late are you?? I am thinking this is good news!!!! = |
| Answer: Today I am four days late. I'm naucious and I usually never get naucious, I'm not sick so I kow its not that. Thats the only sign I have. I have a negative test yesterday and it makes me doubt. But maybe I ovulated late or not at all. who knows = |
| Answer: SamanthaJ - How long have I been doing what. If you are talking about the treatment plan the dr put me this is the first cycle that I have all of my meds. Lots of baby dust to you as well.
lillybug - I really don't take a lot of things the dr gave me the clomid cd 3-7 the estrodoil cd 8-12 and the progesterone gel starting on cd 17 I just added the pre nat vit because I need to be taking vits anyway and the baby asprin is suppose to help with the lining and I keep taking this along with the progesterone gel until I get pg of AF show up and the robintussin cd 10-18 that helpd with my dry cm because the clomid and the estrodoil dried me up big time last month. Of course I have to use the opk to see when I will ovulate. I hope this explains what I am doing. Are you going to test again? Krissy68 = |
| Answer: KRISSY-how much robitussin are you suppose to take, like a regular dose or less? = |
| Answer: Oh and can you take the baby aspirin even if you are not on fertility drugs? I mean, will it do the same thing without clomid? = |
| Answer: I have heard that Evening Primrose Oil works better than robitussin for your cm, so you could try that instead....I think I am going to here when I get closer to O day, about a week before, but I am not suppose to O for like another 2 and 1/2 weeks or so. = |
| Answer: I just bought some test today so I might keep testing! lol Krissy- I thought you were taking them on your on, I did word my last question to you right, lol sorry. how long did it take for your doctor to put you on Clomid? = |
| Answer: Samantha- I am also on chasteberry along with a low dose of red clover, I want to add in some EPO as well. = |
| Answer: Hi girls. Just checking in. Today is cd 6 and I am just pluggin away. Counting down the days until I can start opk's. Last month, I didn't get a positive opk until cd 15 so it looks like I have a whole nother week to wait! And then 2 weeks after that! It just seems so long. Glad I have you guys to keep it interesting. Good luck to us all!!!!!!!!!!!! = |
| Answer: momtoaandk - I take 2tsp 2 times a day and it helps me with my cm not sure if you are suppose to take more or not I know a lot of the ladies take the municex pill. I didn't want to do that cause I am taking too many pills now and I hate swallowing all of them pills baby asprin/ prenat vit/ clomid/ estrodoil. LOL. I guess you can take the baby asprin wehter you are on clomid or not I have taken it and not being on the clomid it will not hurt anything I don't think.
lillybug - Okay ask me the question again. I went to see my dr in Jun and he gave me a 4 months supply of all 3 of my meds. I did do 2 cycles of u/p clomid. Have you tested?
gurinsa - Well u know me and you are cycle buddies again. Last cycle I o'ed on cd 13 so this cycle starting on cd 10 I am going to start using my opk test strip I have a bunch of them. I will be finishing up my clomid tomorrow and then on saturday I will be taking the estrodoil for 5 days. Talk to you soon. Krissy68 = |
| Answer: Hey gals! Final day of af (hopefully for 9 months this time!) momtoaandk - how long have you been on the chasteberry and does it help with what you take it for ? I heard it helped w/ prog and prolactin & ovulation as well : all reasons i need to take it! Krissy - I too am wondering how much robitussin to take ? I have some I just haven't started yet
lillybug - congrats on being late let us know how it goes an early BFP is just what we need to kick us in the right direction! gurinsa & everyone - how long do your cycles range and how long have you been ttc? Baby dust :) = |
| Answer: hi gals
i took a break from forums for a cycle or 2. i was obsessive for 2 adn then off for 1 and now i'm back. lol. it's cycle 4. just had my HSG dye test, watiing on dh's S/A and got my FSH results earlier this month. my doc ordered all 3 tests after 3 months.
so i'm waiting for my positive OPK and peak this month. it's CD11 now. so if anyone is waitiong on ovulation this weekend i'm looking for buddies.
dust to everyone - tons of it1 = |
| Answer: Thanks Krissy! Samantha-I have just started taking it this month and it helped bring on my 40 cd period and it also has made my period shorter and less cramps, my boobs are getting bigger and my skin is clearing up! I cant believe it, if it is all from the vitex/chasteberry, then awesome! You can take it through your whole cycle, it balances everything out, hormonal wise, BUT you MUST NOT take it if you are on clomid or anything like clomid because they will cancel eachother out, or so I have read. I am hoping that is will shorten up my cycle and make me O earlier, my average cycle is 34 days, and I dont O till like cd 18-20 or something like that, so I am hoping it works for me! I've only been at this ttc thing for 3 months, well more like 2, first month was kind of messed up, month 2, we missed O day, and last month I had a ruptured cyst that totally wreaked havoc on my whole cycle, so I havent really had the chance to even "try" I guess, lol! Babydust girls, lots and lots!!!! = |
| Answer: momtoaandk - Thats so good to hear a personal experience w/ it! I've been beating around the bush as to whether to get it or not..what brand and mg do you take if you dont mind me asking? So- I've decided to try to take my vitamins more regularly this month (I'm so busy and i forget its awful i know) and try robitussin 6 days before "estimated" ovulation and use my opk's. I really want this to happen for us, i feel so stupid every month it doesnt happen esp when I think I have symptoms! I've been "unprotected" for over a year and nothing has happened..I wouldn't say we have been trying that long but then at the same time we weren't preventing yanno? Anyways - I should stop writing this novel and go take a shower.. have fun guys lots of baby dust :D = |
| Answer: MOMTOAANDK----- what did you take to bring on a 40 cd???? (period) I'm on cycle day 38!!! Af is six days late already. I didn't test today because I don't want to see a BFN, so I might test tomorrow. where do you get what you are taking? Anyway to all the others - I usually have a cycle between 28-32 day long. Last cycle however my period skipped three months before coming when I took Provera to bring it on. My boobs don't hurt but they itch alot. my nipples are a little bigger and definetly darker. I'm having mild cramping. I've been constipated for three days now. and I get naucious every day and mostly at night. = |
| Answer: how is everyone....Dont let me be the only one with a BFP!!! Dont give up ladies! = |
| Answer: gurinsa - When are you going to start using your opk test strip? I'm going to start mines on Monday cd 10 and keep testing until I get a BFP and then when I see a BFN I will stop so I think I will test anywhere between 5 to10 days.
SarahBethT- How are you feeling? It's too early for me I am only on cd 7 and I just got finish taking my last clomid then onto estrodoil for the next 5 days 8-12 will start the opk test on cd 10. I will keep you posted. Krissy68 = |
| Answer: I am well...very tired and I have had quite a bit of morning sickness but I am well! = |
| Answer: HI LADIES !!! I WANTED TO CHECK IN AND SEE HOW YOU ALL WERE DOING. I AM SENDING YOU LOADS OF STICKY BABY DUST!!! COME ON BFPS!!! I AM 8 WKS COME MONDAY. MY BABY HAS A STRONG HEARTBEAT AND LOOKS GREAT!! I AM SO LOVIN THE PROMETRIUM!!! AFTER HAVING THE LAST 2 M/C I AM TAKING THE PROMETRIUM AND BABY ASPRIN LIKE CLOCK WORK!!! ---MOMTOAANDK--I WAS NOT ON ANY FERTILITY MEDS BUT BEFORE I CONCIEVED I WAS TAKING THE BABY ASPRIN BECAUSE IT UPS THE BLOOD FLOW TO THE UTERUS. I ALSO WAS TAKING ZINC FOR REPRODUCTIE HEALTH AND HAD DH TAKING IT AS WELL!!! I WAS ALSO TAKING PRENATS AND FOLIC ACID. MY DOC SAID I SHOULD TAKE THE BABY ASPRIN ALL THE WAY THRU!!! COME ON GIRLEYS I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR BFP POSTS!!!! I CAN FEEL THEM COMING!!! = |
| Answer: Its called Vitex and/or chasteberry tree, it is awesome stuff! I bought it at Vitamin World and I take 1600mg per day, 2 capsules twice a day. I started taking it as directed and within 2 days I finally got my period after it being all whacked out from that ruptured cyst. I can feel that it is working! It is the main ingredient in this stuff called FertilAid, and the people's testimonials on it are amazing! Just the Vitex by itself can do wonders for us women who are hormonally challenged, lol! Anywho, google it and you will come up with quite a few things on it. Some good sites to look at too are sisterzuess.com and susun weed, she is an herbal wise women and knows a lot about fertility herbs. Also there is this site called tryingtoconceive.com, and they have a ttc store for all the herbal supplements as well. I want us all to get our BFPs! I have this feeling for myself this month that things just might work out, its just a hunch, a gut feeling, but I know it is good to stick to your gut feelings, so, we will see! Babydust, lots and lots of sticky sticky sparkly babydust to you all!!!! = |
| Answer: I'm glad you feel this is your month. I hope its everyones month (wouldn't THAT be crazy?!) - I get those feelings usually after ovulation and i think i've covered all my bases. Somehow I am always wrong ?
Lillybug - have you taken a test yet?! I'm dying to know if you got your BFP!
Anywho - Where is everyone from? I'm from the US but I'm currently living in Canada. Take care and lots of baby dust
= |
| Answer: sarah i hope you got my note of congratulations.
i went thru 2 TTC ccyles with you barb, chris, etc. took a break nd i'm back tho i'm not plugged in to everyone's story, i really wanted to say i was thrilled for you and remember you planning the birthday party and all that jazz. so glad to hear you are feelng well! :) = |
| Answer: Update on me - I haven't tested yet. I was going to this morning but never got to it. I actully forgo about it. Well Today was my Cousin wife's baby shower and this lady who hasn't seen me in year rubbed my stomach and said I was pregnant. I started to cry because I really want that to be true. lol I'm very hormonal these few days and my moods are swinging like crazy. Thanks for the infor on the Vitex!!!!!!!!! I will so look into it. Af is still not here. I'm upset because I just want a normal cycles! I'm tired of going on with these long cycles. I will make an appointment soon with my doctor, lets see what happens. I will be tested this week I just don't know when. I hope all are doing ok! = |
| Answer: Lilly-btw you can also safely take vitex into your first trimester to prevent m/c, but after first tri. it is recommened not to take it because it can cause your milk to come in, weird huh? = |
| Answer: I think that you gals should look into this product called FertilAid, it just might bring your BFPs faster, read the testimonials, they are incredible! = |
| Answer: Hey ladies! So I've decided to go get the vitex and got started on that today! I hope this works though i know its no walk in the park and that it could possibly take awhile to take effect but I'm doing nothing and nothing is getting me nowhere so i figure I should put a little more effort in this. I thought it was gonna be easy - everyone else seems to be falling preggo under a whim! Why is this so complicated? Anyways - I think you need to take a test lily! I feel more bfps coming
baby dust = |
| Answer: Good Morning girls ~~~~ Well I tested this morning and got BFN (Evap Line) Yesterday I got what looked like a very very super faint positive on the Target brand test but this morning but an evap line. Anyway, I'm buying Vitex today. I was told to take that until I get Af and then to continue to take it until Ovualtion. Momtoaandk- do you take it all throught out your cycle? = |
| Answer: Good morning ladies. I am new here and I am 4-5 DPO. I cannot test for another 10 days. I would love to have some people that are in the waiting game with me. Mind if I join you?? = |
| Answer: you are welcomed here Tally = |
| Answer: Thank you. I have been viewing a lot of forums for the past couple of months and I feel very positive about my timing this month. I saw a posting about two months ago and a lady had mentioned an eye twitch and that was her first sign and I remember thinking to myself "Wow these ladies are looking way to far into these things". Well guess what I have started having an annoying twitch in my eye that started at 3DPO. I said "NO WAY". Also usually my boobs get sore immediately following ovulation and they have not gotten sore yet. Even though Sore boobs are a good sign I think having things happen or not happen that are different from previous months is a good sign as well. I guess I will know in 10 days. Good luck to everyone. = |
| Answer: I just want to say that I am super fustrated!!!!!!! I just checked my cervix and it is HIGH, SOFT, and OPEN ------- thats usually when a women ovulates!!!! And I have horrible ache for some reason all over my shoulders and neck!!!!! I never get like this! = |
| Answer: Well if it was not open I would say it was a good sign because I have read in a lot of the forums that women who get their BFP's, their cervix stayed high and soft. Very weird. The shoulders and neck I have no idea. I am brand new here today so I don't know a lot about your history. The last comment from you I saw that you were testing. Did you already ovulate this month? = |
| Answer: Thats ok Tally - I'm not directly asking just you, lol. I hope you enjoy this forum we help each other out in anyway possible to get through crazy times! lol I'm on cycle day 41 or 42 i forgot already. lol according to opks and cervix position i did around cd12 -cd14. = |
| Answer: I will say I am so thankful for normal cycles. I am 27-28 days and I see blogs from these women that have long cycles like you and that must be torture. Is it possible to ovulate twice in one cycle? = |
| Answer: Yes it is possible but rare. Maybe I never ovulated. I was very stressed out that weekend so I might have made my body not ovulate, u know? Well I have regular cycles too. 28-32 days the most and since my miscarriage in January I have only have two period. One on Feb, 1 and the second on June 4th. I am taking an OPK test tonight and see if it is positive. If it is. then I might be ovulating soon. I check my CM and it was egg white today,. Weird! = |
| Answer: Momtoaandk ~~~~~~ How many times do you take Virtex 500mg a day? One or two? = |
| Answer: ok so I did an opk test and its POSITIVE!!!!!!!!! So that means I'm getting ready to ovulate because ovulation occurs 24-36 hours after LH surge is detected!!! So I have tonight and tomorrow night, and wednesday night to bd!!!!! lol This is crazy = |
| Answer: Yay glad you are gona O. Its funny when i got my BFP I didnt think I had O'd. I wouldn't have tested except I had such bad morning sickness. So far being pregnant is not fun but in the end I know it will be worth it! = |
| Answer: Hey sarah - how is miss preggo doing? I know what you mean. My cousin is almost due to give birth and she constintly says the same. The weird thing with me is that I don't have O pains today but maybe I will get them tomorrow when I ovulate. so I can expect af or bfp on July 31 (17 days from today) WOW If af isn't here and I get a bfn I will start Vitex to bring on a period! = |
| Answer: breezieb - How are you doing? I started taking baby asprin on cd 2 so I can keep right on taking it non-stop? Also did you take any other meds so far this cycle I have taken prenat vit, baby asprin, clomid 3-7, estrodoil 8-12 (well I'm still taking it) starting using the opk test strip on cd 7 and on started test 2 times a day on cd 8. I am suppose to start bding on cd10-16 and then I am suppose to start taking the progesterone gel on cd 17 and keep taking it until AF or BFP and I can take a hpt on cd 27 (Jul 31) and cd 28 (Aug 1). Rub your belly for me.
lillybug - I am sorry you got a bfn but that is weird that you are ovulating this late. Guess what I can test on July 31 as well. Keeping my fingers cross for you. Hang in there. Krissy68 = |
| Answer: Krissy- cool, at least we wont be alone i got you and u got me. lol = |
| Answer: lillybug- you are right we have each other backs a few more weeks, are you bding still I need to get busy I am just tired working both jobs but I will make sure I get busy it is time to put the game face on. LOL Krissy68 = |
| Answer: Lillybug sounds like it is time to BD. For some reason I thought I read one of your posts and it said cd40 or something. Must have been someone else. I couldn't imagine having a cycle that long while TTC. I would like it if I wasn't TTC though. :) Hopefully you catch the little eggie! = |
| Answer: Tally- I'm on cd 42 today. I used to only have 32 day cycles but the last one and this one have been super long. I am having ovulating pains today in my left side!!!! They just started now. I BD last night and will tonight and tomorrow too!!!!! lol I want to get this little egg! I know I'm ovulating because of the pain and I"M SUPER WET!!!!! If feel like I keep peeing on myself. I have Egg White CM as well. KRISSY- when do you ovulate? yesterday I got a positive opk at 4pm and at 8pm. I'm so excited I think I read my last opks from cd 12-17 wrong. Maybe I just wanted them to be positive but these test from yesterday were super positive! GAME FACE IS ON!!!!!!! = |
| Answer: Hi, maybe i can bring some hope to the group...i may be a little late getting here....i am due to start on the 17th but i teste early and i have 6 positive test they go for really faint and they last one was really visible dark purple, but i read that 50% of all pregnancies are chemical mean you are preg the start you period and not even know it, so i am still hoping im late = |
| Answer: Lilly- Gotta Love BDing! :) Congrats KRE87! I hope we can all get our BFP's this month! :) = |
| Answer: KRE~~~~~ You're pregnant and no need to worry about chemical pregnancies. If that were the case you would be getting negative test results after one or two positive test. And that has not happened to you girl! lol Well I did an OPK and its negative so my surge was definetly yesterday and ovulation must be today because of my Ovulation pains. My temp went from (yesterday - 96.16) to (today 96.75) So it went up big time = |
| Answer: Hey ya'll, remember me? Im almost 10 weeks now! Just wanted to check in and see how every1 is doing. = |
| Answer: Hey newbaby! I remember you. How is the pregnancy going? = |
| Answer: Hi girls. Lillybug, you better keep busy girl!! BD. BD. BD! CD 11 for me. I will start OPK tomorrow morning. Hopefully will show a positive so I can start the bd'ing too!! I am due for af on 8/1 so I can probably test with you guys (Krissy and lillybug) on 7/31!! = |
| Answer: If it weren't for the part that I work 1/2 an hour away from work from 8:30-5 I would be home BD BD BD with DH already, lol I can't wait to get home, lol lol At least I did BD last night. But I will tonight and tomorrow too. If i'm ovulating today I felt pains through out the day I can still catch it I think tonight and tomorrow = |
| Answer: Ah, its been very difficult. Severe morning sickness and extreme fatigue. Gotta keep telling myself its worth it. = |
| Answer: Lilly- Yes, I have been told and have read that Vitex is something you can take through your whole cycle, so that is what I am doing, been taking 800 mg, twice a day! It seems to be working too! On cd 9, getting pumped up for the big O! Not sure if the Vitex is going to shorten my cycle and I will O earlier, so I am charting my cm and position everyday and trying to bd atleast everyother day to cover my bases. I get too stressed with OPKs, like if I am doing them right and stuff, I am such a worrier, so I dont bother with that stuff, lol! Lilly, sorry about your bfp, but really glad you O'd, so now atleast you know you have a the 2ww now! So, I wonder if I will be testing with you guys?!?!? That would be cool, isnt gurinsa testing around the same as you and Krissy? I cant keep track, I have to keep going back and re-reading everyones posts just to keep them straight, lol! That would be soooo super cool if we all tested BFP around the same time!!! I still have a good feelin' for this cycle girls, loads and loads of sticky sparkly shiny babydust!!!! I am so glad I have you gals to talk to about this stuff, it is nice not to feel alone :) = |
| Answer: correction: Lilly, I am sorry about your bfN! I would not be sorry about a bfp! I'm sucha dork sometimes! = |
| Answer: So, AF is gonna be anywhere between Aug 5th through the 15th, cuz I am just not sure what the Vitex is gonna do to my cycle this month, so I should be O'ing any where between the 22nd and 31st of Jul. Just not sure if I'm gonna have a 29 dayer, or my normal 30 or if I'm gonna go back up to the crazy 39 day cycle, I am just not sure. Ahhhh! I hate not knowing, then again, its kind of good because its like a surprise, and I like surprises, well, pregnant surprises, lol, both of my kids were surprises, so, it works good for me! So I guess I will be HPT'ing a little later than the end of the month, Beg. of Aug. I think the earlisest I am even going to attempt to is around the 10th though, going by my average cycle. I love the websites mymonthlycycle and whenmybaby, they are great! Another one I have found to be extremely helpful is the ivillage fertility planner, been doing that one too, hope its worth all the work! I have never "tried" to get pregnant before, boy, its work I'm telling you! Ok, I will quit rambling......ttyl = |
| Answer: Good morning. I still have the darn eye twitch and last night a commercial with a baby and a rubber ducky made me tear up. I am 7 DPO and bbs still are not sore which is very strange because every month they hurt right after I ovulate all of the way up to AF. I sooooo hope this is my month. = |
| Answer: Good morning girls.... Today I'm supper sad and fustrated... i went to vent so hear I go ~~~~~ Last night DH and I didn't BD because he was "too tired" I was very upset about this because I finally caught ovulation and the one day we are most likely to get pregnant he doesn't want to BD. Needless to say I was up almost all night pisted off. my temp is up again today so I know for sure that I ovulated. I only BD on monday night and I don't think that good enough. My cervix is still high, soft and open So I will continue to BD tonight if DH is up to it. I just hate the fact that I might have to try again next month! when I could have gotten pregnant this cycle, you know? Anyway, I usualy get af 14-16 days past ovulation so I should be expecting Af from July 29- July 31. So lets see what happens. If Af is late I will test on August 3 - my 1 year wedding anniversary = |
| Answer: Morning to all I am new to this board, been reading awhile and realized that I'm kinda in the same boat. So here's my story: Mirena came out on June 20. It's ok we wanted to TTC. Started AF on 22 June according to Dr. DH and BD pretty much every day to every other day since. Well I am frustrated at these OPKs bc on the 7 of July I started getting the second line as when before I was only getting 1. Well this second one definitely is there but it's not "as dark or darker than" the control line. Does this mean I did not ovulate yet? The other thing, the past 2 days I have had discharge when I wipe that is slightly yellow tinged and kind of like snot (dear God that sounds gross out loud). With my other 2 children it just sort of happened and I was never really actively TTC so I was never tuned into my body. Well if I count from the 7th when those lines started to show up I would be at 9dpo. Took a test this am, BFN. Past 2 days I have had lower abdomial cramping, sore bbs, and have just felt you know off. I am not one to look too deep into things I just get confused. If everything is the ideal cycle I would be due for AF on Sunday. When would the ideal time to take an HPT be? I work in a hospital also and have the hook up but should I even waste the Lab's time with a blood test? BTW thanks for reading if you got this far!!! = |
| Answer: Hey Nicole welcome to our group. If you are only 9 dpo today I would wait until your about 13 or 14 dpo and test again if not wait until af is actaully late. = |
| Answer: Ok so I went on to Fertility Friend and looked at Pregnancy Charts, and found that many women only had sex the night before ovulation and still got pregnant. So I'm hoping this might be the case for me and darling husband of mine!!!!!! = |
| Answer: Hi girls. Lillybug - I know exactly where you are coming from! It seems like the most critical times of the month to conceive are the nights/mornings that my dh is "too tired". I literally drives me crazy!! It feels like a total rejection! Last month, I started spouting on about how I had wasted all this money on the opk (which is true) but I am really going to try and calm down this week. It doesnt help either of us to be upset or "forced" into this!! But I do know exactly what you mean and by the way..there is definitely HOPE for you!!!! Welcome to the 2WW!!!!! = |
| Answer: So today is CD 12. Started the opk this morning and it was negative. Last month, I didn't get a positive until CD 15!! But anyway - we have bd'd on CD 10 & 12 just to be safe...I am having what I think are ovulation cramps and discharge so getting excited now! Just have to time it right girls!!!! That means I need to keep bd'ing on CD 14, 16, 18.. = |
| Answer: Lilly~ I know the feeling. When DH is too tired. That makes me angry as well. When he does that I just wake him up with a SURPRISE if you know what I mean and then we BD. Nicole~ Welcome, I am new here myself and I had my IUD taken out in April. I had a paraguard (non hormonal). I read a lot after I had it taken out and people who had the Mirena it took a few months to conceive because it might take a couple of months to get the hormones out of your system. Don't get discouraged if the first month isn't your month. Fingers crossed that it will be though. Hopefully this will be all of our months! :) = |
| Answer: WELCOME tallyjo!
everyone always welcome on these forums - that' always been my experience. this one is fun because there are some BFPs who I was with a few cycles back and now hey are still on, cheering on the rest of us.
are you new to forums? i took a break almost 6 weeks. doc said acupuncture, exercise and no more ONLINE activity for a while! now i'm more balanced, occassional posting for support. but it's true, i probably did more for my TTC efforts at the gym than online--that's me--i need an emotive icon for "obsessive!"
good to be with such a welcoming crowd--HI ALL! still haven't heard from Sarah and I'm sooo happy she's PG!:)
Krissy, I'm 3DPO now-where are you?
have a great day everyone!
= |
| Answer: Hey clare! Welcome back! I'm 1 dpo lol because I ovulated yesterday! = |
| Answer: I definitely feel welcome. I am looking forward to seeing who gets their BFP's and hopefully getting one of my own. TTC is quite frusterating. I am 6-7 DPO and ready to test next Thursday! :) = |
| Answer: OMG LILLY-GURINSA! I totally know how you feel!!! Ok so here i MY deal today: Hubby got called to work today and won't be home till tomorrow, so I was like, lets do it before you leave since you might not be home for a few days, and he didnt "feel" like it either! I was like "WTF?" in my head of course, cuz who knows how many times I have pulled that line on him, I mean, it was true, but anyway, I totally felt like I was O'ing today and really wanted to "hit the nail on the head" so to speak, but it didnt happen, bd'd on the 15th at like 3am or dsomething crazy, but havent since, so I actually went out and bought the 20 test strip opk just to make sure that I wasnt O'ing yet, and I'm not, I took like 3 of those little thingys today just to "make for sure", am I obsessed? Lol! Anywho, so, now I have 17 of the little strips left, so I might as well use them right, if my body is gonna trick me like this anyway. Idk! = |
| Answer: BTW cd 10, almost 11, yay! = |
| Answer: momtoaandk~~~~ lol i was just as fustrated as you because I thought that I was ovulating on Tuesday, come to find out however that fertility friend posted that I ovulated on Monday according to my temps and I BD three days before and the day of so lets me how I make out in a few days. I'm 3dpo today! Wow its been 7 months since I could say DPO!!!!!!!!!! lol = |
| Answer: So the OPT came up what I think is positive this morning. I can't be sure because I usually use the clear bue OPK which shows a smiley face but this time, I bought the generic Kroger brand and its the whole "second line should be same as or darker than test line"..Well, I left it for maybe 5-10 minutes and when I looked, there were 2 dark lines so I assume thats a positive??? Do you guys think I should test again later today? I'm just gonna assume that I am ovulating in the next 24-36 hours... WOOOHOOO!! Hubby better not be tired tonight and tomorrow!!!!!! = |
| Answer: gurinsa- BD BD BD girl!!!!!!!!! lol Yeah you should be ovulating soon. I tested positive on Monday and monday I ovulated so I must have gotten my LH surge close to when it was time to ovulate. lol Do you temp? = |
| Answer: Well I'm having some major stomach and abdomin cramps today! = |
| Answer: lillybug - Hi my last cycle I ovulated on cd 13 but before that I was ovulating on cd 18. I not really sure of the jump well I'm thinking last cycle for the first time of me taking the clomid on cd 3-7 I was normally taking it cd 2-6 and it was my first taking the estrogene. I'm getting to take my 2nd opk test in less then an hour and I will post the results. I'm keeping my fingers cross for you. Did you get to bd anymore and how are you feeling now?
Kre87 - Congrats to you and keep thinking positive when are you going to the doctor. When is AF suppose to show up?
newbaby2009 - Congrats to you and thanks for giving us an update and stay positive.
Clare41 - Hey girl I'm here I took clomid cd 3-7 and the estrogene cd 8-12 I bd cd 6, 9-12 so far and today I am cd 13 I have been doing the opk test strip morning and evening since cd 7 and today this morning I could start to see the test line show up so I am thinking when I test again this evening (Iwill be testing in less then an hour) it should be a little darker so I am hoping to be ovulating in the next few days. Starting on Monday cd 17 I have to start using the progesterone gel. Krissy68

| Answer: Hello ! This forum is so great to know that so many people are at the same place, have been looking at these sites for a week or so now, time to finally add to the discussion. Just got married (June 21st ) and went off the pill maybe 3 months ago. Fairly regular (28/29 days) since been off the pill. No stress, current weight is normal, healthy and excercising, no current medications. Last period was June 12 and so I am now 1 week late. Last HPT was yesterday morning with a BFN. I have taken 2 previous tests, all BFN. Had cramps on my due date (July 9th and 10th) and have been really bloated for about 2 weeks. Going to the doctor tomorrow to see what is up. = |
| Answer: why did someone delete my post? = |
| Answer: kre87 ~~~~ I don't think that is possible on here. Well Today I'm on 4dpo and I was trying really hard not to post today. I want to post every other day but its hard esp. when your bored at work! Anyway, I always check my cerivcal position and today the inner me felt super hot! Like burning hot!!! I am never hot inside, if you know what I mean. Usually I don't even feel anything warm in there! but right now it was burning! I hope that is a sign = |
| Answer: I am heading home for the weekend. DH thinks having the internet at home is useless since we can both access it at work. He is so Frugal. I will be back on Monday. Hopefully some of us have good news by MONDAY!! :) = |
| Answer: Hi there--how is the weekend going..here we are in 3rd week July!
Who is testing? I"m onlyh 7dpo!
What's new everyone? = |
| Answer: Welome Savagen and anyone else I missed....I'm waiting on m 2WW/DPO reports! = |
| Answer: So I tested on Saturday and had a faint line. It was so faint I wasn't even positive it was there. I looked at the same test later and the line had gotten darker (was this an evap line???) Then I tested on Saturday (i put sunday in a different post but it was actually Saturday) and I didn't see a line. It was a CVS brand test. Has anyone had evap lines on one of these or was it a BFP?? I am going to wait until tomorrow to test again. AF is due Wed or Thurs so it should show up by tomorrow if I am. I hope it wasn't an evap line. = |
| Answer: Hey Tally - I got colored evap lines on the CVS brand all the time. Try a dollar tree test. They are pretty good. I don't log on to this site on the weekends either because I like it just MON-FRI, lol I'm 7dpo today and I might test tomorrow. I know its soon but I want to test every other day (with those Dollar Tree Cheapies) lol Or maybe I will wait until Friday morning. Who knows. lol I've been having cramps since Ovulation and I've been bloated for like 4 days now! = |
| Answer: Dollar Tree. Do they have those at any dollar store? Should I get an expensive brand as well or do you think the dollar tree tests work good? I want my BFP NOT AN EVAP LINE!! UGHHHH! :)

| Answer: I just wanted to give you ladies a update on me. I am cd 17 and tonight at bed time I will start the progesterone gel I will let you know how that is going in a few days. Here is my update on friday cd 14 I got a bfp on the opk test strip I took 3 and all 3 came back positive I have been testing twice a day since cd 7 which was the last day I took the clomid anyway I got the positive on cd 14-16. I have only bd on these days cd 6, 9-13 & 16. My question is what do you all think my chances of getting a bfp on the hpt next week. Krissy68 = |
| Answer: hey krissy - I'm on the same boat. I BD on ovulation day so i don't know my chances. But I hope I got pregnant! And i hope you did too!!!! "MY SIGNS" LOL ~~~~~~~ I'm constipated, and STMI but very very Gassy, peeing like crazy! and that about is besides the bloating : ) I can't wait to test = |
| Answer: Krissy and Lillybug - I think your chances sound GREAT!! I have a very good feeling about things this time girls!! I know one of us is going to get our BFP for sure!!!! Hopefull we all do :)
I am currently 4 DPO. We bd'd on the day I got a +opk and the day before (so maybe not ON ovulation day)!!! So hopefully the little swimmers were strong and stayed alive long enough!!!!!!!!! = |
