Hey everyone. I'm back. I just haven't had a lot of access to the internet lately. Sorry that I kind of abandoned you....I didn't really have an option on that one!
Meanwhile, hubby and I are doing a teeny bit better. I mean, we're actually getting along now. I don't know what all is up...Or how things will turn out, but we'll see I guess.
And I'm two days late for my period, three in the morning. I usually get it on day 29. Sometime in the afternoon or evening. It's day 30. Almost, 31. So...we'll see. As much as we're having problems, I really hope it's a BFP. I'm scared to test though. I don't want to get a negative. :( ↓
Carolina don't take it next month, the anti-estrogen side effects become more worse the more months you take it and since you are taking next month off then there is no reason for it.... Schar, how are you doing? Any sign of af? When do you go back to the doc? ↑
hey all carolina i would not take it, because you have taken it last month, so it will still be in your system, so and you are not ttcing this month, so just wait until next month. schar i am so sorry for af not to show, you really should see a doctor, so they can check it out, as for me i am cd 10 now, so i am awaiting to o, i don't think i will o until next week, but i am having a clomid break right now, i took vitex, and also acupuncture and chinese herb suplements, 2 different ones and i am taking evening primrose oil also, so i really do hope that this will be my month good luck to all of you ↑
Schar - Did AF ever show up? How are you doing?
Carolina73 - I would skip a month of clomid that is what I did last cycle now I am starting back up but this time it is prescribe by my doctor cause he has me on a treatment plan and I am going to try
an follow it to a t. I will let you know so far so good.
Esmeraldausiahon - How are you doing? Krissy68 ↑
I know I dhould see a doc everything is screwed up cause my cyst and I will get my ultrasound friday and see a doc monday no signs of af more ewcm yesterday I will never take u/p clomid again ↑
Schar I hope you dont mind me asking but how long were you taking clomid before you realised you had a cyst? as my doctor has finally prescribed me with clomid, but now its worrying me that i may get a cyst? ↑
hey all well its cd 11 and i think i am getting ready to o, have been a bit crampy also twin desire, i took clomid for 4 cycles, now i am on a break, but i didn't have any side effects or a cyst, schar is very unlucky, here are many women whom took clomid without prescription, me one of them, so don't worry to much, and i also have to add that it is the doctor that prescriped it to you, so i am sure you will be closely monitord, schar is af making its way? i am so sorry that it messed up alot for you, but if i were you i would test again just to be sure that you aren't indeed pregnant, i really hope af will show her ugly head if you aren't pregnant. krissie good luck to you! keeping my fingers crossed for you! take care all good night. ↑
Hey all i've been reading through the forms and the stuff on twins naturally, I'm really confused on all the take this don't take this and jessica all your info on the other thread really help and you really seem to know what your talking about what would you suggest? I can't afford to go to get fertility drugs because my insurance wont cover any of it. I'm trying to keep track of my cycle and it's hard because I just got off the patch 2 months ago. It's not regular at all yet, any ideas with how out of wack it is? ↑
Junebugg, since your af is out of whack I would suggest taking a high dose of Vitex everyday to get things back on track again. There isn't any proof out there that Vitex helps with twins but it does help get you regulated again and its possible a really high dose may cause superovulation. Drink lots of whole milk and eat lots of meat especialy beef. I would also try soy isoflavones about 200mg from cd3-7 and wild yam supplements from after you O till af arrives or you get that BFP. 3000mg of EPO from cd1 to O and daily 100mg of Vit. B6 are also very good for fertility. Make sure you are also taking a multi-vitamin and at least 800mcg of folic acid. Thats about everything naturally that you can do. Let me know if you have any other questions =) ↑
soy Isoflaves don't really work, I have been taking fertility blend and it has helped with my hormones and has vitex in it I just found out my cyst is just under 3cm so half it's size I think it's cause the vitamins ↑
Schar, I'm glad your cyst is shrinking! That must be a relief. I agree there isn't much evidence that soy isoflavones work but its one of those things that can't hurt to try. And there are tons of women out there who have been using it to assist with ovulation, just don't know if it helps with superovulation. ↑
Thanks esmeraldausiahon, I never know what to do to help or make things worst!!??!!
schar that is really good news about your cyst shrinking, good luck to you.
Well Im waiting for AF to show today but still no sign yet, so will probably try my luck with clomid this month and see, fingers crossed it all works out. ↑
Is it true that when an ovulating kit test shows positive (that you are ovulating) this is probably to late to conceive as you have probably ovulated already and missed it?
As some friends told me this and its now making me worry that i am going to miss ovulation? ↑
I want to ttc twilns and will start in sep. 08! My husband has a vas. and we are using a sperm doner to have this child.I have never taken Clomid befor. I have ordered it and dont want to take it on 50mg but on 100mg so should I take it at 50mg for 1 month then got up to 100mg and use the sperm??? or just start at 100mg??? ↑
twindesire no it isn't true, let me explain why.
the ovulation tests are going positive because of an increase ( surge ) in the luthenising hormone, this increase takes usualy place a day or 2 before ovulation, after this surge you have to make love in the next 24 hours to maximise your chances of becomming pregnant, and you know when you have ovulated is when you detect a temperature rise of 0.4 degree, so i advise you to continue to use opk's i am cd 14 today, i started to use opk's since yesterday, but i do have 2 lines, but it is not positive yet, maybe in the next day or 2 ( i hope!) so goodluck to all of you! ↑
oh and jessica here are the names of the herbs i am taking, the first one is called :tao hong si wu wan the contents are radix angelicae sinensis, radix paeoniae alba, radix rehmanniae, rhizoma chuanxiong, semen persicae and flos carthami, the second one is called: ren shen jian pi wan, the contents are radix ginseng, rhizhoma atractylodis macrocephalae preparata, poria, rhizoma dioscoreae, pericarpium citri reticulatae, radix aucklandiae, fructus amomi, radix astragali, radix angelicae sinensis, semen ziziphi spinosae, radix polygalae, i know very confusing, but hopefully it will be a help to you! take care all ↑
hi all, hope everyone is well. What did you find out Schar? I've been MIA because I haven't felt well lately and dh is working 100 hrs so I'm doing all the house stuff, working part time, all errands etc. Tiring, but he'll be slowing down in another month or so... I'm just over 14 weeks today and everything looks good so far. I'm proud of myself this time. I gained 56 lbs with my 1st and only 1 lb so far. I'm eating at least 4 times a day, but still don't feel well when I get too full. Doc says I should maintain a healthy weight this time. I have a cold and am so tired of sneezing! Anyway, good luck to those ttc! Hope everyone is well. ↑

ok i eberyone i have been all over this site trying to follow the posts anyways the ones i did get to read were all the ones jessicab3 posted which were really interesting so here is my situation as of now i found out i was pregnant by a frist respones pergnancy test a day or two before my period was due on may 5 the 7th i went to a clinic to get a doctor to test me they did an urine test and it was really faint the second line so on the 9th of may i did blood test and they found the hormorne for pregnancy in my blood my frist day of my last period was april 9th and i was doing great no nausea at all my boobs hurt was tired as hell all i wanted to do was eat ect..last thursday the 12th of june was my first doctor exam i was excited..friday my discharge started to go orange then brown and by saturday it was red i went to the emergency saturday night and sunday morning i had an ultarsound they found the pregnancy sac bt no embryo in it and yesterday morning it came out natuarlly so i was told we can wait til i have a period after that we can try again i wll be honest i am scared of losing the baby again but me and my husband are really wanting to start a family and i am not too upset about what happened because there was no baby really..my husband would really like to have a set of twins and i love babies been around them my whole life and think it would be fun as well so today i went and bought that cassava root thing from a speciality food store and after reading all of what jessicab3 has written i don't know if i should bother to try to eat them for the next month or not and how do i cook them? but all the information i read so far i am going to continue my prenatal vitamins and get lots of dairy and meat but what else is SAFE to do to increase my chances of having twins? By the way good luck to all of you who are trying to concieve i hope you all succeed!! ↑
