Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello all
Thanks KRISSY68, I am doing OK.
The waiting is so hard, myhb is a great support. but I can not keep my mind on anything but being pg. I know I am worrying him all I am doing is sighing and dragging around the house. I can'tclean up, I drag myself in to work, I am a wreck! When does this get easier, or when can I deal better?

I am very confused. This is AF due date for me and there are no signs of it at all, but pregnancy tests are still negative. Cervix is high and I have tons of lotiony cm. Any ideas?

ccusack- id give it a few days. if today is af day then it might be a few more before your levels are high enough to detect. dont lose hope yet, keep thinking positive!

i have a ? for you all... today is cd 24. i kn ow i ovulated on either cd 14 or 15 bc i got opk + bith days. me and dh did everything we were suppose to but last night after bding i started spotting light pink. and a little today. we werent rough or anything so im not sure whats going on. and i still have a few days left before af is due, any ideas?

I thought I would post my clomid success story. I took clomid days 3-7 for 3 months in conjunction with IUIs. I recieved my BFP yesterday. Not sure if it is a single or multiple pregnancy. My progesterone is really high at 136. Not sure what that means yet. any info is welcome!

Hi Ladies !!!!
Sorry Its been a while , we went on vacation . But back to the issue at hand ..my fertility . I a waiting m I have an Appt. tomorrow to see what is going to happen fromhere . she has told me about a lot of things that i have to do . I am not sure when I will get clomid or even if that is the route that she will have me go. DH is having issue with needing to ejaculate in a cup. I think its funny . But other than that

I have a few questions for everyone ... I wanted to know about how many visits did you all have to Attend before they placed you on clomid or anything to help you with the process...

Also I keep track of my temperature and my goes up really high about 1 week before AF , does that happen to any one else ?
I just wanted to know , becuase i have my notes from her saying that I will be taking several days off , etc. and I have not received any medications ...Just asking ?

Just doing a little updating. I ended up taking my 6th round of clomid. Today I am on day 4 of the clomid. Havent had as many hot flashes this round. My dr called to set up a date for the surgery. I go in Nov, 14th. Same day surgery. It seems like i am getting sick again, bad bad coughing. like I still have bronchitis. Dr took me off the blood pressure meds since i had a reaction to it. She just wants me to moniture my bp and if it gets anything above 140/90 to email her. which as i come to think of it ,it is almost there. yesterday bp was 150/83 so I will post here and there, have a great day ladies

geya823 - I am glad you are doing better you just have to take it each day.

ttc 2008 - I'm thinking about you. Take care of yourself. Krissy68

Hello ladies! a little curious about taking the Robitussin, Mucinex, or baby aspirin. Could someone enlighten me on the benefits of taking them. I finished my clomid dosage on Monday and have followed thru with doctors orders...this is my first time on clomid. I was the previous two months taking prometrium to bring my cyle down and then metformin daily plus an over the counter pre-natal pill and that was it. Just last month is when I was put on clomid and if this doesn't do it when I go back in two months we will begin fertility treatments. I'm hoping that won't be necessary. Patiently waiting.....

what is a IUI

JasonsDeed - Robitussin and Mucinex are used to thin your cm so that swimmers don't have a hard time getting through. One of the s/e of Clomid is that it dries cm. I've read that it is best to take the one with 600 mg Guaifenesin as the only active ingredient and take it after you are done with Clomid. Some people use Pre-Seed (sperm-friendly lubricant) as an alternative. Baby Aspirin is supposed to help "thin" your blodd and avoid any clots. I think this helps in implantation but am not 100% sure.
I'll be starting my first cycle of Clomid probably on 27-Oct (CD2-6) and will take Mucinex on CD7 until ovulation and Baby Aspirin on CD8 until ovulation (maybe after if doc asks me to). Besides the Pre-Natal vitamins, I have also been taking Super B-Complex with Vitamin C and Folic Acid, CoQ10 100g and Omega 3 Fish Oil 1000 mg. These are good in general, especially for the heart..
Please keep us posted. BABY DUST!!!

deysir - IUI stands for Intra-Uterine Insemination. It assures that sperm gets to where they need to be...

i have two kids i ovulated find but i want to have twins you think clomid could help me

hey girls! sooo... i went to the dr today and got my results of my progesterone test. my levels were 11.1 just enough for me to ovulate! today is only cd26 so af isnt due until friday. but i took a hpt a little bit ago and its ++++++. the line is faint though, does that matter? my friend told me that it might be faint bc my levels are low. what should i do? i want to get excited but im scared.

Hey girls!
Soory my posts are so irregular! (haha, kinda like my periods!) Anyway.....my little update...CD 29 today with no sign of AF, but that's not a good thing. It's because I never ovulated. So I go back to my doc tomorrow and I'll probably have to take Provera again to re-start my periods and then back on my 3rd round of Clomid. Hopefully he'll bump up the dosage...I hated having what felt like a wasted month. Oh well.......
MSHIGH - Congrats!!!!!!! I know you may be wanting to take it cautiously but to me it sounds as if you have a sweet angel starting it's life inside of you!!! I hope you get a good strong BFP in the next day or so!! I'm so happy for you! It's about time we got some bfp's in here!!!!
KRISSY - how's it going being off the meds? I think that's the last I heard, that you're just gonna be going natural this month? Did you ovulate naturally? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! Also I hope your doc lightens up! So you're 40, that is NOT old and it does not by any means mean your baby making years are over! Heck, you could have 15 more years of this if you wanted!!! (however WHO could handle 15 more years of this??? Bleh!!!). Keep trying, stay positive, I have prayers going out your way!!
Everyone else, (sorry to be so impersonal, limited time, gotta get ready for work) I'm always thinking baby thoughts for you!! The holidays are coming, maybe we will all get the best gift of all!!!! Baby dust baby dust baby dust!!!!!

deysir - You'll find lots of info the "Purposely pregnant with twins/multiples with Clomid?" thread.

mshigh - Congratulation girlfriend I am so happy for you. Did you test again? Since you said AF should be here on Friday that would make your cycles 28 days correct? I would test again to see if the second line get darker. Let me know. Also what cd and dpo are you?

worththewait - Hey girlie, what's been up with you? I loved being off the meds and yes I did ovulate but I always ovulated. I got 3 positive in a row cd 11-13 and on cd 13 I actually felt my self ovualting from both sides this was the first time this has ever happened I hope this is a good sign. Anyway yesterday was cd 22 and my temp was 98.67 and I was either 8 or 9dpo and I just couldn't help it I used one of my opk as hpt I was at work and it was a bfp so when I got home I found a $ store hpt and took that and it had a very very faint second line not really sure what to think but anyway moving on into today cd 23 my temp went way down to 98.26 so I'm thinking this is my implantation dip what do you think? I just hope my temp go back up tomorrow. I will let you know. I also tested again with a opk but I used fmu and I got another bfp. I am going to pick up some hpt tomorrow and I will let you know. Also my lower back is killing me and my bb are sore and also under my arm pits. I am crampy and constipated (sorry tmi) My cycles are normally 29-30 days. Isn't it funny that I am on the same cd as the date. Talk to you soon take care. Krissy68
