Pregnancy Info HOME

Heather...OMG I am sooooo happy for u! Im so glad that atleast 1 of us 3 that was in our 2ww got a BFP! Its so awesome that the preseed worked for u! I bet ur hubby is very excited! Have u told ur family? Is ur son excited? Well I will continue to pray for u so that u will have a very healthy pregnancy and plz keep us updated.

As for me, I went to my RE today since its CD 3, they checked my uterine linning and my little follicles. The linning is ok, and I have 8 to 10 follies in each ovary less than 6mm each. I have no cysts, which means I could begin my 3rd cycle. So I will continue with the Clomid 150mg CD 3-7 since I did O with that dosage. My Dr wants to try Clomid 1 more cycle before moving to something more aggressive. So today I took my 1st Clomid pill and I have 4 more to go. I pray that my hubby and I r making the right decision with trying again this month.

Any other news for anyone? Is anyone starting Clomid again soon?

AbbyJo...How r u doing? Any new updates on ur b/w?

Keric...I guess our journey continues with yet another cycle. Did u decide on trying Clomid this cycle again?

Jax...Im glad ur follie is mature. Good Luck with that.

SoReady...Any news from AF?

Esmy - I took provera for 7 days and now I am just waiting. Its only been 3 days since my last pill but I cant wait for her to show up.
So is your doc gonna give you the hcg shot this cycle? I have heard great things about it!

SoReady...So ur Dr only gave u 7 Provera pills? I didnt even know that was possible. Ive always heard 10 pills. But thats great, that means u get AF 3 days sooner than if u were taking 10. Well I guess I didnt get the Hcg shot this last cycle bcz I got a + OPK. But this month I am gonna request an u/s around CD 12 and if follies are getting big, then I will also request to get Hcg. That way I can try what Heather did, where she got a + OPK and did the Hcg right after that. I suppose it wouldnt hurt.

Thanks Esmy...do you girls have any advice on how often to test for Ovulation? Thanks.

Hi girls,

Well, my labwork for the karyotype test hasn't come in yet so I had to reschedule my appt. :( Since I'm going to be on vacation next week, I can't go in until the 13th. I'm telling you... this is an AWFUL test of patience for all us. I was hoping to at least be able to start my Provera tomorrow, but looks like I'll be waiting another week. ...sigh...

Heather - I hope you get your results from today soon!! My first beta test was 44 and 2nd was 84, so your 70 is definitely better than mine.

Jax - I think everyone does OPKs a little differently. For me, I got the cheapest pack of 20 that I could find and started around CD10. I always tested at lunchtime and then usually when I got home from work around 5. ...only because I was slightly addicted. :) Then, when I thought one might be positive, but I wasn't sure, I would use the more expensive digital OPK to confirm - the one that gives a happy face if it detects a surge. I'm a late ovulator (if I O at all) so I could easily go through a pack of 20. BUT... like I said, everybody does it differently.

ESMY - My Ob gave me 10 pills. I was just feeling like I was putting off AF by taking all of them. On the 4th and 5th day of taking them I had all the signs that AF was around the corner. Then once I would take another pill they would all go away. So I felt like I needed to stop taking them so that Af would show up. Today is the 3rd day since my last pill and I am hoping that I start soon.

My Ob and I thought that FA would arrive around the 27th even if I used Provera. She said for me to start the pills on the 24th or 25th. She was saying that it would probably only taking 3 days on the pills and AF would arrive. I am thinking that she probably doesnt have much experience with Provera because she seemed to think that Af would arrive while I was still taking the pills.

abby - I am sorry that you are having to wait another week before taking Provera. This process can take so long!

AbbyJo...Ur right, all of this does test our patience. Hopefully it is a good sign that we will be patient with our children. Atleast u will be on vacation while u wait. As hard as it sounds, just try to relax and enjoy the time with ur hubby. Who knows, maybe AF will arrive by the time u come back, and there wld be no need for Provera.

SoReady...I really hope u get AF as soon as possible. I really dont kow what happens if u take Provera for only 7 days. I hope u get AF asap though. Do u already have ur Clomid dosage ready to go? What will u be taking this cycle?

Jax...Im with AbbyJo, although I have always tested around 6pm every evening starting CD 11, this time around, I will be testing twice a day maybe like at 12pm and again around 5pm beginning CD 10. I dont want to run any risk of missing my O.

Hey girls... yes the process can take very long and be extremely frustrating. I have been testing and nothing as of yet, I started testing twice a day so I dont miss it...hope it works! How is everyone doing today?

Esmy - I do have my clomid ready. I have had it for a month or so now. I do have rx and u/p clomid. I will be taking 100mg cd3-7 and I am debateing if I am gonna take 50mg cd 8-9. My follies take a long time to mature so I am thinking about taking a lttle the 2 extra days to give them a boost. This cycle I didnt even O.

I really hope that AF comes soon because I am so excited to start this whole process. So far she is a no show.

Jax - I know how you feel. This cycle I tested 32 times over 17 days before I gave up. I am glad that your doc is watching you closely though. At least you have a good idea what is going on. My OB wasnt watching me this cycle but she will be for the next. As soon as AF starts (if she shows up) I have to call and schedule my u/s. I cant wait!

SoReady that's great! My follie grew on 50 mg cd 4-9 then 100mg on cd 19-23 so maybe she can do that because I have long cycles myself.

Jax - My OB and I have been planing my fertility treatment for a couple of months now, knowing that I couldnt actually start it until June/July. If my follies are mature she will give me the hcg shot, which I am also excited about. I really want twins being that this will be my last baby/babies, so I took it upopn myself to up my dose of clomid. My OB said to take 50mg cd5-9. I just have a strong feeling that, that wont work for me. Most of the ladies in here are on higher then 50mg. I guess we will see what happens. If I can get AF to arrive! lol
