So, again, the other one got old. Anyways, how is everyone doing? -----Schar, how are you feeling? I hope you're doing better, and hopefully you'll concieve. With any luck, you still might have twins or more! -----Esmerelda, how are you? When are you going to start TTC again? I'm crossing my fingers for you! ----Mama4, I completely understand where you're coming from! I'm on CD24 and it's seeming to take forever! -----Babies, I can totally understand why you're nervous, but try to keep you thoughts positive. Check out the movie "The Secret: The Law Of Attraction." You'd like it. It's all about keeping your thoughts positive and happy as if you already have or know you'll have very shortly, whatever it is you desire and these thoughts attract those events to happening in your life.... Check it and don't worry! Everything will be fine if you think it will.------Bryandi, check out the movie I told Babies to check out. Seriously, just do it. :D Keep your thoughts positive. Being nervous or scared won't do anything productive or good, so just relax! Let loose and be happy. :D Keep your chin up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Anyways-,- about me. I'm on CD24 and anxious as all get out. I should get my period within a week. Could be a little more. Could be a little less. I'm not sure. Mine usually varied from 25-30 days. It's been soooo long since I've had a normal cycle (between breastfeeding and birth control) that I don't know what to expect! I just want to take my clomid but I can't yet! GRRR! ↓

Carolina, I hope AF shows soon for you! Have you decided which cycle days you are going to take it on? That movie does sound interesting, maybe I will check it out sometime. We don't have a lot of time to sit down and watch a movie around here, but if the opportunity arises I certainly will look into that movie. ↑

I am doing fine just hoping I O soon. How is everyone else? ↑
Name: babies4us | Date: May 5th, 2008 8:55 AM
I am doing pretty well. Still don't know my results yet. I am going to call today I think, just so I can relax a bit. I don't think I would worry so much except they tested for Toxoplasma, and I don't know if that will produce a different result for them.
Schar, I had a pretty good size cyct when I went in, but I get them every pregnancy anyway, and they hurt for a few weeks, and then ache as they leak out, it should be gone in a few weeks time. Just follow what your Dr. says. I really hope you get a babie soon! I think everyone who wants one this badly should be able to have one of their own.
All my best to you all. I'll tell you the fate of my tests as soon as I can get them. eeek. Trying to take Carolina73 advise and think positive. So far 2 of you have said they can't tell.... ↑

Well haven't had much time over the weekend. Schar I really hope you get feeling better and hopefully wll be able to try again. so last month was your first time taking Clomid?? Carolina we are really close in cycles. I have about another week and 2or 3 days til next AF. I can't wait either. I am waiting for the mail to come. Hopefully it will bring Clomid. Babies i will keep you in my prayers. Don't worry to much. Easier said than done. So take care everyone. I will be back on after mail comes to let you all know. Hey is anyone else a house wife??? ↑

Well, I'm on CD26 today. Any day now. I've been kind of crampy and such but nothing yet. I wish it would hurry up and start. It's so funny though. I don't think I've ever been excited to GET a period. lol----------Schar, I'm glad the cyst isn't bothering you anymore! That's definitely a good thing! Maybe the clomid you DID take will help you when you start TTC soon!-------------Babies, I don't think they can tell. And toxoplasma is a parasite that is found in kitty litter, on cats, and in the soil. It's a parasite that can cause defects in unborn babies. So I doubt that test was done based on any suspicions. I think you're safe. :P---------------Mama, hopefully your pills come. Wasn't your sister sending some too, in addition to the ones you ordered, or did I read that somewhere else?-------Bryandi, I think I'm going to take it days 2-6 or 3-7. I'm really not sure. What do you think?------------------As far as what's going on with me. I only have a few days left until AF and I wish it would just hurry up and get here already! It's sooooo frustrating having to wait, you know? I feel silly. I've never been excited about getting a period. -lol- I can't decided whether to take the clomid days 2-6 or 3-7. And is it okay to take one pill twice a day (50mg at morning. 50mg at night.) Or do I have to take them at the same time??? ↑

Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I am pretty new to this stuff. I ordered my clomid a few weeks ago. Then went to see my midwife for a yeast infection and we talked about how long we've been trying and she's going to prescribe it to me. I told her that i ordered some off the internet already so she's going to check it out and make sure that's what it is (I have heard horror stories that people receive pills that are not what they said they were). I was surprised I didn't get chewed out but she was ok with it as long as i take it to her when I get it. But anyways I am on cd18 with o'ing on cd15. We use the clear blue easy monitor and so far I really like it. Does anyone else use it? ~~Good luck to everyone and baby dust to all~~ ↑
Schar, great to hear that you are feeling better! Carolina, I would advise days 3-7, but a lot of people do 2-6 as well. I did 2-6 my first cycle and then 3-7 the second cycle (the one I got pg on). babies4us, I wouldn't worry about any of the tests. They won't even test for Clomid, and the toxoplasmosis is a routine test. If you have cats, just make sure that dh takes care of the litter box for you while you are pg. You should be fine. Lacey, welcome, and good luck. I have never used the clear blue easy before. So you are officially in the 2ww! Keep us posted! So ladies, I had my second sono today and baby measured right to the day 7w 6d! Heartrate was 150 and bean grew from 3mm to 14.6 mm in less than 2 weeks. I will be 8 weeks tomorrow. I am starting to feel more confident about this pregnancy! Good luck to the rest of you waiting to concieve or in the 2ww! Hopefully we see more twins on here. ↑

BigFamily - I'm so sorry about your mom I will keep her in my prayers. I am so happy for you Congrats and keep us posted.
Well ladies I couldn't wait any longer I tested this morning and got a faint + I went and did a blood test but they said it will be a few days then I went to the free clinic and she was so rude she said it was NEG I don't believe her so I got me another test and I will be taking it soon. I am so upset. I am on cd 26. Krissy68 ↑
Name: Bryandi | Date: May 6th, 2008 7:22 PM
bigfamiliesrock, welcome back. I am soo sorry your mom is having a tough time. That must be hard on the family. Congratulations on your BFP. So many of us are pg right now! My body was definately playing tricks on me. Turns out I was pregnant after all. I must have gotten a couple of really sensitive tests that detected the very low hcg in my urine. It was really too early as I think I had just ovulated the day before or 2 days before. A week after I had given up I tested again because I was thinking about going out with some friends for drinks and the test was positive instantly. What a pleasant shock! Krissy, don't give up or get worked up yet. If your pg test was positive then you are pg. doctors refuse to acknowledge it until it gets to a certain level. Just give it time for the hcg to double and then I am sure they will confirm it for you. mama4 great news that you got your clomid. Now you and carolina just have to wait on AF. I hope she comes soon! ↑
Name: Krissy68 | Date: May 6th, 2008 8:36 PM
Bryandi - I haven't talk to my dr. she just gave me the lab slip to get the blood test I will not know that result for 2 days. I did the hpt thismorning and it was a faint + then I did another one this afternoon and it was a faint + but at the free clinic it was neg I don't believe them. I will test again in the morning and update. How are you doing? Krissy68 ↑
Name: mama4andmore | Date: May 6th, 2008 9:47 PM
For some reason my last entry didnt go in. So i have 2 hour and 15 min left for cd 20. Last month my cycle was 27 days. I am hoping it will be that short again! Krissy dont get discouraged! Schar I am scared to take 100mgs at once. DO you think it would just as well to take it like one pill late morning and one pill at night? Does it matter. Also I think I am going to do cd 3-7. do you think that is the best time?? ↑
Name: E586467 | Date: May 6th, 2008 10:41 PM
Hi everyone I just wanted to share my good news. I'M PREGNANT! I just found out the other day & we are thrilled about it. No we weren't trying & I doubt it's twins but I just wanted to share. Bryandi congrats on your pregnancy. I'm sorry you didn't get the twins you wanted but at least it's going strong & healthy. Good luck to the rest of you & I hope you get the babies your trying for. ↑

mama4 I wouls try 50mg first that actually what caused my cyst was 50mg cd 2-6 try 3-7 with only 50mg thats my opinion ↑

Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. I started my first round of clomid this month, well actually last month on the 28th (cd 2-6), I'm now on cd 11 and hoping to get pregnant this month with twins. I should be oing in a few days so we'll see. ↑
Name: mama4andmore | Date: May 7th, 2008 2:04 PM
Schar thanks for the advice. I think thats what I may do. I am now getting a little nervous about it. CONGRATS E5864! Hopefully you will have twins. Seems like most people have gotten preggers. SO esmarld, schar, carolina, and I and possably krissy need to all get BFP this month. Welcome WIndow. This is a really great thread everyone is so nice! SO today is officially cd21 AF is about to arrive. I cant wait to start shopping for baby stuff! Hey if i get pregnant this cycle I will have the exact same due date as my oldest son isn't that odd. So I figure may was a good month for me at one point so hopefully it will bring me good luck again. Carolina has AF came yet? Well I will talk to u all later. Take care and BABY Dust to all ↑

Soooo...It's CD28 and still NO AF! I wish it would hurry up and come, you know?? My hubby and I are in a rough patch right now, but I'm pretty sure he'll still let me do it. I just wish I could start already. I'm so impatient! I'm not crampy or anything! I feel like I'll never get AF! :( ↑

Hi Ladies, I've been MIA for quite a while although I have been posting on the facebook group from time to time. Just wanted to share with you that I'm finally starting my clomid, yay! I'm taking 50mg cd2-6 and I'm on cd4 right now...... I did tons of research online trying to find what is the best cycle days and dosage to take if you already ovulate on your own. Well the cycle days don't seem to matter anywhere from cd1-5 or cd5-9 show about the same results but I did find one study that showed a higher pregnancy rate in the cd1-5 group and a reference to a European study that showed more follies in the cd2-6 group (but I never could find the actual study). So from this I tend to favor the earlier days but it probably doesn't matter much. As to the dosage I would NOT recommend going above 50mg. There are a few studies out there done on normally ovulating women and no matter what the dosage the women usually developed 2-3 mature follies, HOWEVER those taking the lower dosages had the best pregnancy rates. It seems that the higher dosages usually caused more side effects such as a thin uterine lining or hostile CM that make it harder to get pregnant...... Just thought I'd share that with you. BABYDUST!!*+,+*+,+*+,+*+,+* ↑

Name: Carolina73 | Date: May 8th, 2008 1:29 PM
So, I'm on CD29. I'm getting impatient. I was hoping it'd be here by now. AF will come today! I'm being positive and thinking optimistically! I WILL get AF very very very soon! Meanwhile, I'm getting frustrated. I told my family of our plans to have another baby and now they're talking crap about us behind our backs. And my mom is being a little less than savory at the moment. It sucks, but it's not their life. ↑
