Answer: hey Bryandi I am so happy for you I just hope I can be happy and have a healthy pregnancy soon. I would be 3 weeks and a few days behind you if I O soon Hope I get pg with twins that way I can have them this year! My cbfm has shown 10 high fertility days now so I am praying to O in the next day or two I just hope it's soon my luteal phase is usually short if I O by the 16th my luteal phase should be about 14 days cause my cycles have been 33-37 days since my first miscarriage. I would be 17 weeks this weeks that one was the biggest disappointment. Well anyway we'll see thats what I keep saying. =

Answer: hi bryandi, hope everything is giong well. I'm 5 wks and 3 days. U/s and 1st appt on Tuesday. Will update that evening or next day. Schar, I've read a lot of posts on here about those things and most say that they give odd readings like yours. Based on your cycles, I'd say you should be ovulating any time. Good luck! =

Answer: Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for my pills. :( I'm on CD3. It sucks. I wanted to try this month, but that probably wouldn't have been such a great idea with my thyroid problems and with my hip problem and coming off the BCP's.... So it's best I wait until next month. Good news is, I got my progesterone cream in the mail a couple days ago. Still waiting on my pills and my OPKs. =

Name: schar | Date: April 14, 2008, 8:13
Answer: hey mama4 anfd carolina good luck! Today is cd 18 stil no surge i'll check my cbfm later but this really sucks =

Name: IrishButterfly | Date: April 14, 2008, 12:05
Answer: Hi guys. Today is 9DPO for me. I've been wasting all my internet cheapies to get my POAS addiction under control. I should just stop doing it until after I've missed my period (its due April 16th). My LP was only 8 days last month, so I'm hopeful that if it doesn't work out this month that I should get a BFP, that my LP defect will be correcting itself since I started Clomid (which is one of the treatments for a LP defect). I'd still rather have the BFP, though. Oh yeah, I'm from the Facebook group, if you weren't sure who I am. =) =

Name: jenniferjo | Date: April 14, 2008, 12:33
Answer: mama4, glad to have you here. We are all here for support :-) if you have questions, ask away, worries: tell us about them and someone might be able to relieve them! Carolina, there seems to be a lot of people waiting on their clomid. It must have to go through more checks than other stuff to get to you. I'm sure it'll get there soon! Schar, you must be so frustrated. My opk's would give me a decent line for days, then go to nothing, then have 2 different surges sometimes. That was before I got my clomid and got lined out however. Its not exactly the same thing, but I do understand the frustration of it all. Hang in there girl, it'll happen soon! Hi Irish, glad to have you with us too. I am a tester as well. I started testing at about 9dpo and didn't quit until af (or my bfp last time). Its very hard not to want to know asap. Most of the ladies on here test often as well so you aren't alone there. DId you start your clomid to ttc twins or because of the LP defect? Good luck ladies! =

Name: IrishButterfly | Date: April 14, 2008, 12:39
Answer: JenniferJo: I started taking Clomid to conceive twins. I already have children and hubby would like my next pregnancy to be my last one, so I'd love to have twins. =) =

Name: jenniferjo | Date: April 14, 2008, 12:42
Answer: Oh yeah, I have a funny story. My appointments are tomorrow... I woke up this morning when my dd came to bed with me. I'd been having bad dreams all night and hadn't slept good so was glad when she wanted to snuggle in and stay in bed. I dozed back off and when I woke up I freaked out. I raced to the living room, grabed the phone to call the doctor, decided to call hubby instead to ask his opinion. You see, my doctor is two hours away and I only had an hour to get there. Hubby didn't answer so I checked email to see if he had written. I then discovered the date was the 14th not the 15th! I wasn't late at all. My dreams had all been about problems at the u/s or being late to the appts. I guess I wasn't awake enough to realize that it was Monday. It sure wasn't funny at the time, but I think it is now lol. It reminds me of those dreams where you miss school(still have those) or go naked... You jump out of bed, get dressed and head to the bus stop only to realize that its Saturday lol. I'm making sure I don't really oversleep though. I have two alarms set already and hubby is getting me up at 6 when he leaves(an hour early) and mom will call at 6:30 just to make sure I'm up. I don't know what it is, but I'm having a really hard time getting up before 9 at the moment. Oh and sorry for the bad grammer and stuff. I was never good at those things. Good luck girls and I hope everyone has a great day! =

Name: schar | Date: April 14, 2008, 13:31
Answer: I started my clomid because of my luteal phase defect and for twins good luck! Let me know if your lp is fixed. =

Name: schar | Date: April 14, 2008, 14:23
Answer: My LH line is the same color maybe a shade darker than my estrogen line on the cbfm but still says high fertility day 10 this is driving me crazy we have been bding since cd8 tired of hoping I would think this is my surge? anyone know where I can get pics of the test strips on the cbfm are peak fertility? =

Name: Krissy68 | Date: April 14, 2008, 15:30
Answer: Esmeraldausiahon - Praying that this is your month. Bryandi - Thanks for the advice, is it too late for me to start taking the baby asprin today even tho it is cd4. Krissy68 =

Name: Carolina73 | Date: April 14, 2008, 18:44
Answer: Woohoo! so I am one step closer to having my bab(y/ies)! I'm so excited. I got my OPK's in the mail, and my progesterone cream. So now I'm just waiting on my pills. Woohoo!! :D I'm so excited!!! It's CD3 now though, so I'll be waiting until next month to start trying. =

Name: Bryandi | Date: April 14, 2008, 20:11
Answer: Carolina it took forever for my pills to get here. I thought I was never going to get to start them. Good to know you have your progesterone cream and your opk's though! Almost there. Irish, we all definately have a poas problem. HEHEHE. I was testing the day after I thought I ovulated. In fact a couple of days I used both the opk & the hpt. I did have some issues with my opk's though. I finally stopped testing with the HPT's this past Friday. I have two left, but am hoping that I won't need them ever again! JJ Your scan is tomorrow!!! that is awesome. WE are only 5 days apart! I can't wait to hear if you have two beans in there! Schar based on the opk I would say that you got your surge! That is great. I know you and dh are tired, but try to stick it out a little longer and I bet you catch those eggs! Krissy you can start the baby aspirin any time. I took it for 2 mths straight before I got my bfp. I read on a lot of sights that some doctors recommend that you use it for a month to get it in your system. I think that is for people with severe clotting disorders, so I wouldn't worry if you start it now and then get pg immediately. Carolina, I too have a thyroid problem. I was diagnosed with it in between my dd and ds. THey have made a lot of adjustments to it lately because it went kind of wacky there for a while, but now I am taking a pill and a half (25mg pills) and it seems to be just right. I had to go to an endocrinologist to get it sorted out though. I need a dose right in the middle of what they have available. (25 and 50). So ladies, my body is really letting on that I have already had two children, because my shirts that were loose on me are now catching on my tummy in the very middle. I guess I can't complain.. at least I look pg instead of just chubby :) Oh BTW I called my doctors office to make sure my appt was scheduled for May 2nd like I had thought, and found out it wasn't scheduled for the 2nd, but the 5th. That means I am going to have to dwell on it all weekend :(. ARGH  =

Name: schar | Date: April 14, 2008, 21:04
Answer: Good luck Bryandi! I didn't get my surge yet but should tomorrow I double checked the monitor strip with an opk and it was dark but not enough so I will probably O cd 20 or on the 16th and then tww here I come told dh we will bd tomorrow and the day after no excuses! I really want this to be my month to have 2 sticky beans I am now greedy and want a boy and a girl like my dream so i'm sooooo trying I am gonna get them if I have to bd till May lol. =

Name: connsmom | Date: April 14, 2008, 22:00
Answer: I have a question, I got an earlier Doctor's appointment with a new doctor who I love!! She started me on provera to try and get AF started and yesterday was my last day on it, but for 4 days now my bb's have been soooo sore and yet I have no signs of af, has anyone else been through this and how long after finishing the provera did you start af? =

Name: mama4andmore | Date: April 15, 2008, 0:01
Answer: Well, i am back. Reading and now posting make me feel as though I am closer to creating my baby or better babies. The anxiety of waiting is killing me. I am hoping I don't have to go through 2 cycles of this. Dh is hoping so also. I count hours to him all day til af comes!! Every night at midnight i announce af is a day closer....lol...... I have never been so excited for af. So i bought vitammin b6 to day. I already have prenatal vitamins, folic acid, asprin, and robutussin, and waiting for clomid. Is there anything else i should buy to help me concieve or concieve twins. ALso anyone else use mexmeds for clomid?? I ordered mine the 4th and still waiting. I am worried it won't come in time. In one more min af should be here in about 3 days. So iam just a litle worried. So if any1 used mexmeds do you remember how long it took. Does anyone know what the chances of twins are for women who ALREADY O and use clomid? Is it higher that the 5-10%???? =

Name: schar | Date: April 15, 2008, 0:42
Answer: clomid is closer to 9 or 10% maybe a bit more for twins if u O on your own and I got my meds somewhere else but it takes close to 3 weeks to get them so maybe in a week u will and you can start clomid as late as day 7 good luck =

Name: schar | Date: April 15, 2008, 0:43
Answer: connsmom it can take 10 days to start and it causes your bbs to hurt =

Name: connsmom | Date: April 15, 2008, 0:46
Answer: thank you schar. It has been so long since I had af and I don't remember my bb's ever hurting like this so I was just wondering. I just want af to show up so I can go back to the doctor and she can tell me if i'm o'ing or not and then get started on clomid or whatever through her if I am not o'ing or get started on u/p clomid if I am o'ing. I've been trying to use opk but without af that's a bit difficult. =

Name: WD | Date: April 15, 2008, 9:31
Answer: Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. This is my first month on Clomid, I am now on my CD 13. Took Clomid 50mg on CD 5 to 9. The reason I am taking Clomid is because both me and my dr thinks I didnt ovulate last month. Been ttc for 3 months. Did the ovulation test on CD 11 and this morning, skipped CD12, was thinking maybe I started to early. Anyone know when do we normally ovulate after taking Clomid? is it possible that we still don't ovulate? Anyway, baby dust to everyone here ^^ =

Name: schar | Date: April 15, 2008, 12:57
Answer: welcome WD! 5-10 days after your last pill sometimes up to 15 days and yes there is a possible you didn't ovulate the doc can confirm that I would start using opk on the 4th day after your last clomid pill and you can get a set odf 20 at walmart. =

Name: Krissy68 | Date: April 15, 2008, 13:12
Answer: Bryandi - Thanks for the input but I do have a question for you for this cycle and last cycle my period went from 7 days to 5 days do you know why I have always had a 7 day cycle? Anyway we have already started bd I told him to get ready if I'm tired you will too LOL I have 2 jobs and like this morning I didn't get off until 3am and had to be up at 6:45am to get the kids ready and off to day job. He was like okay you are the boss. Tomorrow is my last day of clomid and the only side effect is a major headach and that was yesterday. Krissy68 =

Name: schar | Date: April 15, 2008, 13:40
Answer: clomid can shorten your periods it has mine =

Name: WD | Date: April 15, 2008, 15:23
Answer: thanks for your information Schar. I have start using the digital ovulation monitor (clearblue) that I have left over from last month, it is too expensive, any good recommendation, brand and etc ^^. Also you said that doctor could find out if you ovulate or not? using ultrasound or same method as us? =

Answer: a blood test day 21 progesterone I suggest the answer brand opk cause my cbfm is to confusing and think it may be wrong =

Name: babies4us | Date: April 15, 2008, 19:48
Answer: Hi all! Well, today was supposed to be AF, and still have a positive BFP test. Still not much symptoms. Some bloating, but that is about it. I am a little worried I should feel more. I forget when I started to get sickly with my other 3 kiddos. Does anyone know if I go in, in the next week or so, if they do a blood test, will they see that I took Clomid? Or do they have to test specifically for it? I was thinking of waiting until week 9 if I can stand it. They can't do anything about a M/C anyway, so if I make it past then, I should be pretty good. My 3 m/c's in the past were 9 weeks and before. Any advise? =

Name: schar | Date: April 15, 2008, 20:33
Answer: they can't tell you took it unless you tell them but make sure they test your progesterone and act as if u never took clomid and don't go through this pregnancy thinking it will fail just tell the doc about the previous m/c's and make sure your hormones get checked often =

Name: Bryandi | Date: April 15, 2008, 21:13
Answer: WD Clomid made my OPK's do weird things. I got a positive 5 mornings in a row and your not even supposed to use first morning urine with opk's. Every time it was negative again by noon. I am pg now though. I just bd often! (every day to be exact) Dh was tired by the end of it all. Check at Walgreens if you don't find the 20 pack at Wal-Mart. My wal-mart didn't carry them, but walgreens did. It is Answer 20 pack for 20 bucks. Pretty good deal. Krissy, AF used to visit me for 5 days and after going on clomid she only visited for 2 days and spotting very lightly early the next day then gone. So yes clomid does seem to shorten that part of your cycle. Sounds like your life is very hectic. I couldn't survive on 2 and a half hours of sleep....ugh. babies4 us they can't tell you took the clomid unless you tell them. Congratulations on AF staying away! That is great. So I had some cramping this morning and lower back ache and so I called the doc and they moved my sonogram up to next Wednesday. Keep your fingers crossed for me ladies. I just want to have a healthy live bean in there. Two or more would be bonus! Oh also my family is coming to visit, so I will be busy entertaining (so I probably won't be on too much until Sunday) and finishing our basement so we can turn our current bedroom into a playroom for the kids. We are finishing two rooms downstairs. One for our bedroom and one for the unborn bean. I am very excited! Schar I hope you o while i am gone!! I hope we both get boy/girl twins. That is what I really would like to have. But after 2 m/c I will be happy with whatever I get. Ok gotta go to bed.  =

Name: mama4andmore | Date: April 15, 2008, 21:42
Answer: Hey all. I am so happy to hear that babies4us got a BFP. That is so wonderful. Well for me clomid hasn't came and af is acting silly. I was hoping she wouldn't come until at least the 18th, but now she is showing signs that she will be here heavy within two days. Is it ok to still use clomid if you have a shorter cycle than 28 days?? Like this month would only be 26. Anyhow Hope to see more BFP for every one...Double the baby dust to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =

Name: jenniferjo | Date: April 15, 2008, 21:57
Answer: mama4, my doc actually gave me clomid because of 21 day cycles. He thought my opk's were wrong(O ed around cd6 usually). His other reason was because we'd tried for so many cycles with no resuslt(other than a m/c). We got pg with our dd the first cycle we tried, as did my mom with me~actually I wasn't planned, but it was her 1st time. WD, I found my 20 opk at Kmart. Don't open the container until ready to use though as they are only good for 30 days. Well, my appts were dissappointing. They had to do a transvaginal u/s which was a 1st for me. It actually wasn't too uncomfortable-fortuntely. Based on the measurements they said I was 6w3d. Doc didn't believe that, and I don't either. I know exactly when I Oed so its doubtful the u/s was correct. All we could see of the baby was a little gray blob. We couldn't hear the heartbeat, but the tech said she could 'see' the heart beating. Nurse said that was even better. Doc said they've been slow(up to a month) on getting him the results so I probably won't know anything else until I go back on May 20th. Doc said we'd do another, but wasn't sure how soon until he got the report back. Tech didn't act like anything was wrong so I still feel good about carrying this baby. Oh, they couldn't tell if there were 2 or not. Only one sac, but there could be twins in there. I have a low chance of it and clomid didn't help much as I concieved the cycle after I took it. He said it uped my chances a % or 2. Good luck ladies! =

Answer: jen i don't know but i have never had a problem convieving i had 4 kids in 5 years and my baby is only 1 1/2 but after i had him i had an iud called marina and omg worst thing ever, af used to come like a clocks time, but now its unpredictable. I had my iud removed 7 months ago and still haven't became regular. =

Name: Carolina73 | Date: April 16, 2008, 2:36
Answer: So...I'm on CD6. I still haven't gotten my clomid. I'm so bummed about it. It totally sucks. I really want to start, but I guess I can't really start until next cycle anyways. I ordered the clomid ten days ago. Hopefully it gets here soon. Blah. =

Name: Carolina73 | Date: April 16, 2008, 5:13
Answer: Okay, so I have everything for my study in order. I really need more participants. So, if you're taking unprescribed clomid, please consider participating in my study! =

Name: Carolina73 | Date: April 16, 2008, 5:15
Answer: So, i've got everything with my unprescribed clomid study in order. All I need is some more participants. I really think this could be a breaskthrough in research regarding unprescribed clomid. So, if you're taking it, PLEASE consider being part of the study. =

Answer: hey girls, how are all of you, i hope well! i am cd 17, i bought opk's yesterday,and i think that i had a + opk today, i was the same colour as the reference line, so i thank god today, because my hubby is sticking around this week, so i pray this will be my month! thanks for the encouragement krissie, i really need it! and i haven't read the whole of everyone has posted, but schar have you gotten your + opk yet? i hope so, anyway i will read what has been going on now, take care all, twin dust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =

Name: WD | Date: April 16, 2008, 11:17
Answer: Bryandi and Schar, I am still using the left over of my clearblue ovulation digital monitor from last month, one more left for tomorrow (it is the one that gives you happy face when detect LH surge), never see happy face on last month tho =P . However Schar, I got the OPK you mentioned on yesterday from DR, $21 ^^ will use it starting on the 18th, that will be my CD 16. Today is my CD 14, still not ovulating yet, I am worry that it will be like last month, no egg are release....but I took Clomid already, I should ovulate right? FYI, I use the first morning urine for the clearblue one, because we not suppose to use the restroom 4 hours before detecting it so =P, what about the OPK? it says no drinking two hours before using it, better to do it in the morning or at noon? thanks ^^ and hope we all get pregnant this month ^^ girl and a boy twin is my favor too ^^ =

Name: schar | Date: April 16, 2008, 12:35
Answer: yes wd you should ovulate I think I will cause I do every month but today is c 20 so maybe we need to up our doses of clomid and tak it earlier if I don't get pg I will be doing 100mg 1-5 so tht should definitely work I usually O on my own on cd 22-24 so good luck! How is everyone. Bryandi I'm praying for those twins like it's going outta atyle. =

Answer: not yet alot of us haven't been on clomid long like this is my first month but ask again in a month or so and i'll bet one of us does =

Name: WD | Date: April 16, 2008, 14:09
Answer: Schar, did your doctor prescribe you the clomid or you got it your own? I got it from my dr. She said if this month doesnt work and if I want I could go see her again and give it another try for one more month and we will stop, because she said ppl often get pregnant the month they stop taking clomid after two or three months =P. But, of course I am hoping to get pregnant this month with twins the best ^^. O, so we could still ovulate on CD 20-25? I stop testing for ovulation last month around CD 23 or 24, was thinking its already too late so....I guess this month I should keep testing until I got AF ^^, thanks for the information and good luck to all of those out there ^^ =

Name: schar | Date: April 16, 2008, 14:35
Answer: Usually the doc checks to see if u O by a blood test and if not they should up the dose. =

Name: mama4andmore | Date: April 16, 2008, 20:59
Answer: Well these little boards are addicting a little. Right now i am really down and worried. Af made her arival. Just ealier i was thinking af would wait a couple more days, but no luck. About how long did it take for you all to recieve clomid for internet i used mexmeds4you.com Ordered the 4th. So friday will be 2 weeks. Just praying it comes, because I don't want to wait another cycle. I might have to though.  =

Answer: Well guys...I got my BFP this morning! It was so light on my IC I was doubting it was there for a while there! I'm going to test again in a couple days and hopefully it will be darker. I'm due Christmas Eve! How exciting. =

Name: schar | Date: April 17, 2008, 0:59
Answer: CONGRATS IRISH!!!!! Mama4 it took mine 14 business days, cbfm-clearblue fertility monitor, ewcm- egg white cervical mucus. Tuesdaypm- clomid is a drug that makes you ovulate and increase your chances of getting pregnant you can look it up in a search engine clomid no prescription it takes 2-3 weeks to get it , I recommend taking 50mg or 1 tab on the second day of your menses which would be full flow of bleeding so from day 2-6 which is five days look up the drug and do your research first good luck!  =

Name: Carolina73 | Date: April 17, 2008, 4:08

Answer: Congra IrishButterfly, hope you will see dark and BFP when you check it again next time ^^ And I am so excited myself too, not pregnant yet, but saw a happy face on my clear blue ovulation monitor today, it is my last test stick ^^ and finally see that happy face that I have been waiting for haha...I know it doesnt mean much, but at least I know I have ovulated and have a great chance of getting pregnant ^^. Hope this is the month for me and for everyone that is ttc ^^  =

Answer: One more question, since the clear blue monitor detect that I will be ovulating in the next 24 or 36 hours, should I still follow dr's instruction, which is to have sex every other day? or should I have it more often? which one has higher chance? sorry if my question is too straight ^^ = =

Answer: Irishbutterfly, I am due the same day! I am 2 days past when AF should have shown up. Still not feeling much at all. Big bump in belly and tight pants. Had to take kiddos to swim class yesterday and got really nauseous in the heat of the pool, which I thought was a good sign. How about you? Any "signs" for you yet? So exciting I know someone due the same day. Hopefully we will both have a set of twins too! Best of luck to everyone else. Don't worry Mama4andmore. I was on the Mirina too and I think that is why I m/c'd last time. I am so hoping with all I have been doing and all the extra progestrone I will carry all the way this time. I have 3 kiddos too, 2 m/c's prior to number one and then no problems after until I had the IUD. I am pulling for you. maybe this is the strand for everyone to get BFP's since we are all so positive and helpful here! Yeahhhh =

Answer: By the way, is it normal that I keep going to the restroom and pee during ovulation period? yesterday and today ...weird...was afraid if it will affect me from getting pregnant haha...push out all the sperms, I probably think too much =P =

Name: schar | Date: April 17, 2008, 14:49
Answer: you'll be fine just try not to pee up to an hour after sex, Today is cd 21 ladies and not even a surge of lh I wonder if the low dose of clomid has kept me from ovulating which I usually do on cd 22-23 but my Lh surge I usually get a few days before like at least 2 now on my cbfm it says high fertility for 14 days since cd8 and my estrogen line looks a bit datker and lh a bit lighter I know it should be the other way around I am hoping I didn't miss my chance this month I will be so upset! =

Answer: Mama, I ordered from the same place. They say 10-15 business days. Ten days is on the 18th (tomorrow) for me. And fifteen is on the 25th. Hopefully I get them soon. Fortunately AF isn't due for a coouple more weeks. Like three. =

Name: mama4andmore | Date: April 17, 2008, 20:14
Answer: carolina well i hope it comes in time i am going to be so disapointed if not. so tomarrow will have been 11 business days since ordering it. so for more til it should come i am thinking i should be ok. I really wanted to do 3-7 instead of 5-9 AF already makes me impatient and craby so would rather take clomid while af is here. Then be miseraable for 2 or 3 wks. Also i have heard that clomid may make cramps bad do you think taking medication for the pain like naproxin (prescribtion for extremely painful cramps) would stop the clomid from working??? =

Name: Carolina73 | Date: April 18, 2008, 0:43
Answer: Today is CD 8. I should have my clomid between CD9 and CD16. Hopefully sooner than later! But I'm pretty sure I'll have it BEFORE my next AF. Thank goodness! =

Answer: Hey ladies, I have used the clear blue ovulation monitor on yesterday and it shows that I will be ovulating in the next 24 or 36 hours. Since yesterday I been having this cramp on my right abodmen and it is bloated, is it normal? Today the feeling is even more stronger, I also temp myself this morning it is 97.97, what does it mean? Also, if we didnt let the sperms out after bd last night, does it matter? will they be all stack together and not about to swim down to the uterus? I am sorry if these sound stupid ..but I am really curious ....thanks ^^ =

Answer: hey tuesdaypm, i am living in ireland, close to you! about your questions, clomid is a fertilitydrug that makes you to ovulate, i am taking it u/p, i got it on shopeastwest.com/med. i paid about 30 dollars for it, a 3 months supply, that is if you take 100 mg a day, or if you take 50 mg it will last 6 months, and ribotussin is a cough mixture, but the active ingredient is guafenessin, so you are looking for chesty cough syrup, the one with only 1 active ingredient, so the one that i take is lemsip chesty cough syrup, it is to loosen the cervical mucus, because if you are taking clomid, it can dry you up, thats why, and i take 2 5ml spoonfuls a day, or the max is 4 spoonfuls, but i figured 2 is enough for me, i hope this is helpful, take care  =

Name: esmeraldausiahon | Date: April 18, 2008, 11:39
Answer: oh and wd, the crampy pain is normal, i am experiencing it to! and if your temp is raised it means that you probably have o'd so good luck, hoping this will be your month! =

Answer: Hey Girls, I just wanted to tell eveyone hi and have a great weekend. Well we did make up so that is good I think I know why I am so moody besides taking the clomid I lost both of my parents at the age of 53 and on Sunday is my Daddy's birthday and my Mommy's birthday was last month on the 16th so I did apologize to him. I will be getting my OPK today and I have started my Waltussin cough syrup I started that yesterday. Still taking my temps. Krissy68  =

Answer: Mama4andmore: I've been reading over posts on these forums and I read of other ladies ordering from mexmeds without a problem, which is why I tried to order through them. They are also one of the few web pharmacy's that take mastercard, but the charges never went through to my card, I never got an email from the pharmacy saying there was a problem and of course no clomid came. I think it has something to do with mastercard. So I next tried freedompharmacy.com, I got myself one of those green dot prepaid visa's to order it and it arrived in 8 days from fiji. So if mexmeds doesn't work out I'd suggest trying them. Now I'm waiting for AF to show, I got my mirena taken out 7 weeks ago and still no af, and my hpt are all bfn, which is frustrating. When I got the mirena 4.5 years ago my doctor told me when I got it removed everything would go right back to normal, but now I'm learning for many women things don't go right back to normal. Well I hope your clomid arrives soon! =

Name: mama4andmore | Date: April 19, 2008, 12:17
Answer: Window mirena was the worst thing ever for me af never stopped and came every 2 weeks. I only had it maybe a year and then removed it. It has been gone for 7 months, but I think there isn't enough information and studies about it. I really think it ought to be band. After having I have never heard anyone say anything good about it. So hopefully for you AF will come soon. My doc also said when he removed it that I should be preg in 2 months well that is not the case. So cd3 here and I am still waiting for the mail. I have a few hours so I am praying my clomid will come!!!!!!!!!! =

Name: Carolina73 | Date: April 19, 2008, 15:38
Answer: Yikes. I thought about using mirena a while back ago, but I decided against it, because it just seemed too weird and the nurse couldnt even really explain how it worked that well. I have heard a lot of good things about mexmeds4you and I just think they have slow shipping times. I wouldn't worry about it. =

Name: IrishButterfly | Date: April 20, 2008, 2:25
Answer: Sorry it's been a few days since I've posted. I've been so exhausted. Mama4, I have 3 girls & 1boy! How funny. I'd actually like to have two boys to even things out. Haha. (Though I think I'd love to have another little girl to dress up. lol) I took my clomid on CD6-CD10 since mine got here late. (I used medstore.biz) My order was lost by my post office and they sent me another package for free plus with 20 extra pills! ~~As an update: I had some brown/red spotting today with some small clots, so I'm not sure WHAT is going on. It started in the morning and had stopped in the afternoon. No pain at all...just the spotting. I'm really praying this is a sticky pregnancy. I've already had two miscarriages and I do not relish the thought of having another.~~ Babies4us: I'm extremely tired. Like, OMG tired. I'm starting to do the run to the bathroom jig pretty frequently. Not much nausea yet. =

Name: schar | Date: April 20, 2008, 11:19
Answer: If you have clots Irish you definitely need to see a doc even if it was just once. CD 24 here no O or anything this month may have just been a bust cause if I don't get + opk today then I know I won't O they have been a bit darker the past 2 days though. =
