Pregnancy Info HOME

Lynn-- that is so Wonderful!! What cd are you on? Sperm can live up to 6 days inside you....so last night would have helped! Keep it up and I am so happy for you!!! Keep me posted on how you are feeling and when you think you will be doing the pg test. I hope mine is in the mail today or tomorrow:) Hey, do you want to start a theard that less people will be on...or is this one ok...I am good either way...I just think I will need to ignore the hostile comments while going through this process, ya know. I don't want to be rude, but geez they can be so mean! So that is my plan. Best of luck to you!!!! I am excited for you! Lots of baby dust to you!

I think it is wrong to take any unprescribed medication to try and concieve multiples as you are messing with nature.

Hey lew--yeah we can start a new thread...what do you want to name it? I have to ignore the comments otherwise it will stress me out and there is no need in that....need to stay positive etc. I am on cd 13 today! 6 days after last dose of clomid! If it doesnt work this time then I will try one more time...then thats it..I dont want to risk stuff anymore than that. But hopefully I will get pregnant-whether it be one or more this time...then around my birthday next year I will be giving birth!!!! Anyway, hopefully I will start testing...of course early---at 7 dpo then 9 dpo etc every other day with my good pregnancy test!!! We could name it Lew and Lynns thread and anyone else that will not be criticle of us!

Ok Lynn--- lets go to under the Q & A section and then under "Pregnancy Tests" do the Question: Lew and Lynn's thread or Lynn and Lew's thread. Which ever one is fine with me. Keep it simple. We can start there and who knows... move to 1st trimester soon? Hopeful thinking, lol What do you think? You can go ahead and make the thread and I will be waiting to go there. Thanks!

Lynn-- how did you know you were ovulating? What did it feel like? I have never thought about "feeling" it happen. Thanks.

HI LEW,
WOMAN WHO ARE VERY INTO GETTING PREGNANT AND OR ARE KEENLY TRYING..WITH OR ,
WITHOUT FERTILTIY PROBLEMS BEGIN TO LEARN HOW THEIR BODIES FUNCTIONS IN DEPTH...MANY READ UP UPON BOOKS AND GET INFO FROM THE NET TO BEGIN WITH THEN THEY LEARN TO UNDERSTAND THEIR CYCLE..CM (CERVICAL MUCOUS) IS A VERY GOOD INDICATION OF YOUR FERTILTY AND HECNE OF O CHART IT AND YOU CAN FIND THAT ITS LIMITED, THEN DRY AND STICKY, TO WET TO EGG WHITE AND STRECHY (O ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE 12-24-48 HOURS), TO DRY...IF YOU SUFFER FROM LITTLE OR ALMOST NO CM THEN OPK'S ARE A MORE EASIER METHOD...SOME WOMAN USE BODY TEMPERATURE...EVENTUALLY AFTER ALL THESE OBVIOUS INDICATORS..THEY MOVE ON TO SYMPTOMS THAT MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR AF AND HENCE ALSO THEIR O TIME. YOU BECOME SO EXPERICENCE WITH ALL THE CHANGES IN YOUR BODY MAJOR AND MINOR THAT EVENTUALLY YOU CAN PINPOINT CHANGES FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT...
O IS ACTUALLY NOT SO HARD TO PINPOINT YOU MAY NEVER FIND THE 'EXACT DAY' OF OVULATION BUT YOU CAN DEFINATELY KNOW WHEN YOUR ABOUT TO OR HAVE OVULATED..
FEEL YOUR BODY AND THERE IS ACTUALLY A TIME IN THE MIDDLE, EARLIER TO MIDDLE AND LATER TO MIDDLE PART OF YOUR CYCLE WHEN YOU MAY FEEL SYMPTOMS OF AF!!!WHEN AF IS NOT REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE DUE..THERE IS A TERM NAMED BY GERMAN RESEARCHERS INTO O AND FERTILTIY THAT WHEN YOU REALLY FOCUS ON YOUR BODY EVERYDAY DURING A CYCLE YOU WILL COME TO A POINT/DAY WHERE YOU WILL FEEL VERY VERY SLIGHT TWINGES ON ONE OR EITHER OR BOTH OVARIES!THIS IS CALLED THE 'MITTLESCHMERZ' (MIDDLE PAIN) AND IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR YOU TO COPY AND PASTE THIS WORD INTO GOOGLE TO FIND MORE INFO ON HOW TO LOOK OUT FOR THAT. IT CAN VARIE FROM WOMAN TO WOMAN BUT I TRULY BELIEV THAT EVERYTIME YOU BEGIN TO FOUCS OIN IT IN EACH CYCLE...BYT THE NEXT ONE YOU CAN FEEL IT MORE AND MORE...I AM SO FAMILIAR WITH MY BODY THAT EVEN WHEN I AM NOT TTC I KNOW WHEN I O...I WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHOPPING QUE OR WAITING FOR THE BUS AND I WOULD FEEL THE 'O PAIN'...AND GO AHA..I AM ABOUT TO OVULATE!
WISH YOU LOADS OF LUCK AND MAKE A START FROM YOUR NEXT CYLE ASAP!!!

Thank you Yas2000! That was so interesting! I new about the cm thing and bbt thing...both not very good indicators for me as I have tried them...I will research the other information you shared. I very much appreciated it! Have a great day!

Lew--I did start a new thread in pregnancy tests! I felt strong dull pain...but not sharp at all. first it was on the right then on the left. I felt it last month to on both sides but wasnt on clomid and it wasnt as strong last month as it was this month. I think clomid just made me feel it alot more!

I wasn't sure if I should post at this forum since there's so much negativety but I also have been using clomid (yes unprescribed). I'm hoping for twins, although triplets would be nice.
Will my doctor be able to tell if I've taken this? Will it be assumed then that mine are naturally conceived? I'm asking because I'd like to be able to tell people if asked that they are.
Thanks for listening.

I have heard from a RN that no clomid is not traceable in your blood.

trying, you are insane, so why is it a big deal tha tyou had help to concieve them, are you imbarased that you are doing this. I sure as hell would be especialy if I did not need to

hi women, i am a 20yr infertile woman i have cysts on ma ovaries and would liek some info on takin clomid unprescibed is it really dangerous?? i really want a baby plz tel me all u s know xx

Rachel.. if you are infertile, why the heck wouldn't you talk to your doctor and get Clomid and expertise LEGALLY? Buying LEGAL prescribed clomid, with no insurance help, is around $30 a month... not a big deal.

another thing... if you have cysts on your ovaries, you should NOT take Clomid.... there are other options out there that you should discuss with your doctor.

I think these women are very sad and I feel sorry for each and every one of them. Obviously something is missing in their lives (and it's not children) where they need to be made to feel special by giving birth to twins (or more as someone as said on another board). They won't even admit to anyone that they've taken this drug and want to feel as though they were "chosen" by telling everyone that they are natural. Perhaps they need to take a good long look at their lives because having twins or triplets won't make it better, it will only cause more difficulty. They have no idea what is involved in raising multiples. I don't care how many children they may have had already, having 2 or 3 children the same age is more work than anyone can imagine. Preschool is sometimes out of the question because you would need to pay for 3 children to attend at the same time which can be hundreds of dollars. Can't buy one toy, you sometimes have to buy 2 or 3 of the same item. And the help that everyone think that will be provided by friends or family, well guess what. You'll come to a point where you want your privacy back and believe it or not your friends or family have lives of their own and won't be able to assist you at 2:00am when you have to feed 2 or more babies at the same time.

Multiples mom you have said what so many others have been trying to say for some time now. you put it very nicely. Thank you
