Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi girls...boy is it quiet on here today! Hope everyone is doing well and having a good weekend! Well, today is officially 1dpo for me. I'm guessing I've ovulated as my temp went from 97.9 to 98.2 this morning. The cramping has subsided with only a few cramps here and there, but nothing like yesterday. Ouch! Now the waiting begins! How's everyone else doing????

my weekend has been pretty good! We had a great party here last night! Lots of fun! I am 2 dpo! I sure hope this 2ww flies by! DH and I are going to Whistler (snowboarding!) tomorrow, so I will be peoccuppied for at least a week of it! I really want this to be our BFP month, I don't want to miss next years ski seasn at all! : ) And it would so cool to have a baby right before Christmas! Bing, looks like we will be in this one together! I am on CD 19, how about you?

Hi Tonia! I'm on cd16. I wish I had something to preoccupy me for the next 2 weeks! Usually my days are pretty busy so I'm hoping I can put it out of my mind. Oh well...if it happens, it happens. Snowboarding sounds so fun! We haven't done any skiing in a couple of years for one reason or another but the few times I did it I loved it! Dh grew up skiing but I just learned a couple of years ago. I'm more into running, which I've had to put on the backburner since my back surgery last April...but I'm hoping to start hitting the pavement again soon- especially now that the weather is getting back into the 50s! I would love to have a "little one" in the baby jogger next summer!!

Well good morning ladies! I am going to call my doctor today and see what my next step is hopefully. I just can't keep going through more months like this. It hurts to much. My heart can only take so much. I was going to take a break this month from the clomid, but I got my prescription filled anyway, just in case my doctor tells me to take it again. I hope she sends me to a fertility specialists b/c I want to know what is going on w/ everything in there. It's so frustrating. I am a nanny and that makes it even harder to come to work each day knowing you are watching someone else's child and not your own. Well I will check back in a little bit, my little charge just woke up.

hey ladies ! how are you ? i'm good. i'm sooooo confused though. my RE said i would ovulate between friday and sat. however, yesterday i still had mild O pains (really light though and only for a few hours in the beginnin gof the day). but my temp went from being up around 98.0 for a few days and then yesterday dropped to 97.7 and then today back to 98,0. being above 98 pre-O is very unlike me, and i usually have a clear dip then rise. so i'm wondering, did i ovulate yesteday ? or when does O happen in terms of the dip and rise ? me and dh did not BD last night and now i'm freaked out......... i still never got a + opk either. anyone have an idea of what's going on ? i have no clue when i ovulated. or should i just trust that my RE knows when it would happen based on my blood work ? ack !

Good morning! Kristina - my temps have been higher than normal too. They finally dropped to 97.6 this morning (cd 11). I've been getting horrible hot flashes during the night even though I'm done taking clomid. Usually the hot flashes stop after I finish my last pill. I'm really not motivated about ttc this month. I'm hoping that is good b/c I feel like I don't have the motivation to get worked up about it so maybe I won't stress this month and it will happen. I can't wait till you girls start testing! I hope we get our first BFP this month!!!

quiet here today, huh ? well, i called my RE again since i'm a stalker sometimes with this stuff. i spoke with my friend who works there and she said i should trust the blood work. so that would mean i'm 2 dpo right now. yikes ! this will be a long 2 weeks. i thinkt he worst part is the time before you get to 8 days when NOTHING is happening. at least around 8-10 days implantation can occur and you can over-analyze every twinge, sneeze, pain, etc :-) it's fun to see what your temps do every day, etc. i really hope this took this month. i only have 3 more months befor einjectables and i reeeeeeally don't want to do them ! bing, i think me and you are exactly at the same point. how long is your luteal phase normally ? i always get AF 14 dpo. so that would take me to not this sat. but the following. that's so far away ! my dh is already asking when i can start to test ! just bought some tests online so i'll be all set to test like crazy ! i got 7 for $15 so that doesn't make me feel as bad for unneccessary testing :-) how is everyone else doing ? sjf, i'm so sorry about af. i think it's a great idea fo ryou to see a specialist. they really get the ball rolling for you ! hang in there, i know how miserable that can be and how unmotivated you can get. but you'll get there. we all will eventually !!!! just hopefully sooner than later :-) we had our big dance performance this weekend and my poor dh really had to work hard to perform in the bedroom this weekend :-) we got into a huge fight on friday and almost didn't bd, but i told him i didn't quit dancing (almost completely, but not entirely) and take drugs for 3 months, for him to not bd that night and ruin everything ! lol ! so he pulled it together and got to bat :-)

Hello ladies. nothing new over here. i wish would could all get a bfp then we would have something exciting to talk about lol. anyway. could i ask what does dpo mean?

Hi ladies! Sorry I missed the chit chat earlier but I was so swamped at work and couldn't get a minute to myself! Dancegirl, you and I are EXACTLY on the same schedule. I always get AF right on 14 dpo too...so I'm 2dpo right now also. If it makes you feel any better I was still having slight O cramping yesterday too. I'm not sure about the temp thing though - I feel like I read somewhere that you shouldn't rely too much on temps when on Clomid. I actually had a slight dip (.2) the day before O and then it went to 97.9 (day of O) to 98.2 (1 dpo) and now 98.6 (2 dpo). I hope that's a good sign but I'm not going to read much into it so soon. The next 2 weeks are going to be torture! By the way, it always seems like my dh & I always have our fights right around bd'ing time! I swear they do that on purpose! SJF - were you able to talk to your doctor today? I hope they were able to refer you on to a specialist as that will make you feel a little more relaxed knowing you'll be moving forward. Anna B. - looks like it's your big weekend coming up! It's good your not stressing out about it as that'll probably take the pressure off and make it more enjoyable. I luckily didn't get those hotflashes - they sound awful! I just really horrible ovulation cramping/bloating...but I guess it could've been worse. MG - how are you doing? You should be in the 2ww now too, right? Hi Nicole! Dpo = days past ovulation. I'm hoping we get some bfp's going too - I love the excitment of when someone announces they got theirs...it gives me hope!

Thank you bing. i am glad i know what that means. lol. yeah i hope we get some bfp's going. i get so excited myself when someone tells me they are pregnant. i don't know why, but i guess it is better to be happy than to be mad. lol.good luck to all

Hello Bing
I think I have started the two week wait, I am just very crampy and tender. I haven’t dried up like normal either, just very wet and had some spotting. I am just feeling really depressed today, this whole TTC is just really taking its toll. Deep in my heart I really don’t think the Clomid will work for us. I am becoming so negative about this whole process, that I get anxiety every time I think about TTC. I don’t even want to bed this cycle and when I do I don’t enjoy it. I don’t know if this is the hormones talking or dh and I really just need to stop TTC for a few months. I feel so bad that I have become so negative, I guess I am just losing hope. Sorry I just needed to vent.

awww, Mg - don't apologize...you can always vent here. It's completely normal to feel like that, especially after what you've been going through. I always feel like giving up and wondering if we're just wasting our time doing this. The last thing you want it to feel like is a chore, but that's what it becomes. I'm sure part of the anxiety/depression is from the clomid - but I'm sure it's also from the stress of this whole ttc thing. It's hard after a while to keep your chin up when you are consistently disappointed every month. Maybe a break is what you need? Just to take your mind off it for a little while? But don't give up yet - hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised in the next two weeks (I hope we all will be!). We're all here for you....just hang in there. (((HUGS)))

Thanks Bing, I told my DH I thought we needed a break and he was fine with whatever I want to do. Although I am pretty sure I will just keep going, once you start its hard to stop. I think its just the Clomid making me a little owly. I just feel so bloated and ugly, i am going to get my hair cut today and go to the gym, hopefully that will help

Well good morning ladies? I was just wondering what bfp means, I know that probably sounds dumb? So I talked to my doctors nurse yesterday and she said that my doctor won't be back until next week. So I asked her what I should do either take a month off the clomid and give my body a rest or stay on the clomid. She told me b/c I have been on clomid for the last three months to stay on it. She said it can take up to 3 to 6 cycles for it to work. She also told me b/c I have been taking it consecitivley for the last 3months that if I take it this month I have a good chance of making something happen. She also told me that my doctor probably can't do anything for me after the clomid, and the next step would be a fertility specialist! I will have to wait and see if she even calls me back next week. Right now I am on cd4 and 2nd 100mg's of clomid. I am on day two of taking clomid

Hi girls! I've been swamped at work and haven't had a chance to write. Nothing much going on here so I'm just excited to hear how the rest of you are doing. Hopefully things will begin to get more exciting with me in the next few days. Last month I O'd on cd 16 so I still have about 4 more days until then. Ho-hum . . . so boring!

hi girls ! well, i'm doing just fine except that my temps have me all freaked out. today is was still only at 98.1. normally after O they're much higher around 98.3-98.5 ish. so now yesteday and today they haven't risen much. i don't see any clear shift in my temps since I supposedly O'd. anyone have any clue ? bing, your temps sound promising though.......... i hope mine go up tomorrow. now i'm nervous either i didn't O or that my progesterone is too low. i have an appt. on thursday to check progesterone, so hopefully i can still implant if i get some progesterone soon ? any clue girls ? sjf - bfp mean "big fat postive" meaning we're prego. so have you had any diognostic tests or blookwork or monitoring since being on clomid ? do you not ovulate or have PCOS or know why you're having issues ? you may have underlying issues that you don't know of and taking the clomid without knowing could be very frustrating if it continues to not work. normally they say if you have no issues that your'e aware of to go to a fertility specialist, but if you're charting, etc and still nothing, they're more apt to send you to an RE faster. so you are well overdue to see an RE !!!!! get going girl !
