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. ↑

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! ↑

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. ↑

hey mama4 anfd carolina good luck! Today is cd 18 stil no surge i'll check my cbfm later but this really sucks ↑
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. =) ↑

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! ↑
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. =) ↑

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! ↑

I started my clomid because of my luteal phase defect and for twins good luck! Let me know if your lp is fixed. ↑

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: Apr 14th, 2008 6:44 PM
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: Apr 14th, 2008 8:11 PM
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: Apr 14th, 2008 9:04 PM
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. ↑

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: Apr 15th, 2008 12:01 AM
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: Apr 15th, 2008 12:42 AM
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: Apr 15th, 2008 12:43 AM
connsmom it can take 10 days to start and it causes your bbs to hurt ↑
Name: connsmom | Date: Apr 15th, 2008 12:46 AM
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: Apr 15th, 2008 9:31 AM
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: Apr 15th, 2008 12:57 PM
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: Apr 15th, 2008 1:12 PM
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 ↑
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? ↑
Name: schar | Date: Apr 15th, 2008 3:27 PM
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: Apr 15th, 2008 7:48 PM
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: Apr 15th, 2008 8:33 PM
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 ↑
