Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello everyone! Congratulations to Hoping. Just wanted to see how everyone is in their cycle. Im am now on CD24. Getting pretty close to testing, right! Today and yesterday i started feeling sore bb's. I cant get excited with that though, because that usually happens before my period anyway. Hopefully, that wont be the case this time. Babydust to all**********

NELLY, it's exciting that your getting close to testing. I tested my 25cd and got a very light line and then retested my 27 day and got a more definite postive.. Which is the day I usually get my cycle. How long is your cycle usually? Hopefully you'll receives great new just in time for Christmas. Baby dust to all.

Hi there. I am new to this site. Thank goodness I found you all. I was beginning to feel like I was the only woman in this predicament. After one year of trying without assistance, my Dr. prescribed clomid. First month, no luck. I finished my 2nd cycle last week and I am on pins and needles now. The OPK still hasn't registered an LH surge and I am on day 16. Last month I didn't ovulate until day 19. I will be 32 years old in two weeks. I am beginning to feel like our hopes for having children are never going to come true. Looking forward to reading all of your posts. It is very encouraging.

welcome mspooh! we're glad to have you and look forward to sharing our ups and downs with you! i too am in the same boat as you. we are blessed with one child, but have been trying for a year. we finally went to get help, was on clomid for 1month at 50mg, and 2nd month 100mg. i am on day 21, and have never seen a +opk! its really hard to wait patiently to take a test!!!!! i will be testing xmas morning...i am supposed to get AF that day! glad to have you!

utopia8302: you are brave to test on Christmas morning. A negative would definitely alter my mood for the day. I was really hopeful that I could tell my husband we were expecting on Christmas morning. But I am not expecting AF until a few days after Christmas. I noticed a lot of woman saying they took a pregnancy test even before they missed a period. Are those even accurate?

mspooh: yes, you can test before your missed period. if its just a few days before it, SOME tests can be accurate. if you ever get a +, its always a +. there are no false +, but there are false - if that makes sense! i am not too hopeful for this month anyways. i just dont feel that i really ovulated. so seeing a - on xmas morning really wouldnt put me in a bad mood. of course id be disappointed, but i do have my one daughter, and can always try next month! so hang in there everyone!

MSPOOH, Welcome you have definitely come to the right place for support, understanding and a great place to chat. All the ladies her are TERRIFIC!! It makes going through the whole experiences a lot easier and funner to do with people just like you. I hope you get a +OPK. I tested three days before by cycle was due and it gave me a very very light +. Then I tested the day I was due and it was a lot more Clear. Baby dust to ALL!!!

Hi ladies. Just wanted to check in. I'm on CD24 and started taking my prochieve (progesterone cream prescribed by Dr. for lining) on Monday. I hate it. So, I'm in the middle of the 2 week wait. HOPINGFORABLESSING: thanks so much for the info. How are you feeling? ANGELICA21: So sorry to hear about your loss. Clomid is a serious medication. It is not safe nor legal to take this without your dr.'s monitoring (at least in the states). It is also not meant to be taken just b/c you want twins...the chances of twins are still very low even with clomid. You might want to talk to your dr. NELLYD: I will be testing on 12/30 since I ovulated so late...let us know how yours turns out! What day will you test? MSPOOH: Welcome. I feel your pain with the late ovulation. Just hang in there and stay positive. It's going to happen for you!

hi everyone. I started my first round of clomid on November 29th and just found out yesterday that I am actually finally ovulating. I need to hear from someone that this medicine can work. I have become a little discouraged because I keep hearing of people miscarrying. I ahve been trying to concieve for a total of 8 years and I am so ready to become a mother. Please someone out there help me feel something positive.

hi all! Welcome Jules! Im going to test on Christmas (maybe the day after, i dont know). Whats funny is im getting all the PMS symptoms so i know somethings coming, whether it be AF or a BFP. Im also starting to have cramps which is odd because i dont normally start cramping until the very same day AF is coming. So hopefully AF wont show her face today or any other day for that matter. keep your fingers crossed for me! And Baby dust to all of you******

Hi Nelly thanks for replying and I hope your test turns out well on Christmas, that would be the best Christmas present of all. I think I am going to test this Friday the 22nd which is 5 days before I should start but I will get a early pregnancy test. I don;t want to sound stupid but what does AF and BFP mean? Also you were talking about having PMS symptoms, I tell you something is different this month and I am not sure if it is the medicine or because I ovulated but I have been in the worst mood over nothing. My poor husband does not know what to think, also I have been extremely tired, extremely hungry and major heartburn at night. I am hoping these things mean I am pregnant but I do not want to get my hopes up. Good luck to everyone! :)

Hello everyone, I have not been on for a while but that is because I was in the middle of moving. So I am back and I still have not had a + pregnancy test. I am on my second round of clomid and I am expecting AF this Friday. I think that I will get it simply because I am having some symptoms already. My boobs hurts so bad and I have slight cramps.. Hopefully I will not get it but something in my head says that I will. I went to the DR yesterday and they are going to refer me out to a specialist. I was told that there is a posiibility that we will be looking at IVF. I have PCOS. Has anyone ever heard od someone with PCOS doing IVF? I am a bit scared that it will come to that simply because my insurance does not cover it and my husband and I will be forced to pay for it on our own. Does anyone know if people with PCOS usuallly succeed with clomid? I am feeling really down and discouraged at this point. I want a child so bad and although I am happy to hear that people are getting pregnant from clomid I also feel down when I hear it because I wish that it was me. Also....does anyone know how long a fertility work up is? I want to know so that just in case me and my husband are forced to do the IVF I would like to know how long we are going to be looking at. I will go back to the DR on the 28th of Dec. to get a referral. I can not wait. I want everyone to have a merry christmas and happy new year and I will give the update when I have some more news. Good luck with baby making to all.

welcome jules & lola
nelly- i also am going to be brave and test on xmas morning. i just keep thinking how wonderful it would be to wrap it up and give it to my husband and videotape it! but, i really dont think it happened this month. i havent had a +opk, and we only bd days 9-17. we missed out on 18-21 due to me being sick as a dog in bed. so, i dont have high hopes for this month! but will still test anyway. so you have to let me know how your test turns out!!!!!! good luck everyone

Welcome Welcome Welcome. JULES, and LOLASHAW. It's a wonderful place to come chat. Jules, this was my first month taking clomid and it worked for me. PREGNANT! However I have two older children and never before had any problem conceiving. My reasoning for Clomid was becausing I wasn't ovulating. I am sure it's different for everyone but it seems as though there quite a few women that it's really helped. Ovulating is the first good sign.I hope that it WORKS FOR YOU!!!!. LOLASHAW I was on google the other night and came across PCOS info. It caught my eye because my thyroid doc that I might have it. There was one other med that I heard some doc like to use over clomid because the risk of cysts problems could be less. The best thing would be to just google a bunch of searches if you haven't already. Hopefully your symptoms are pregnancy instead of A.F. Do your boobs normally hurt really bad when get A..F? Thats how I knew I was Pregnant. It hurt to wear clothes,bra or sleep. MICHELLE-So you are going to test on the 30th? Can't wait to hear the NEWS!!! UTOPIA, NELLY and If I miss anyone I hope you both get a BFP on CHRISTMAS!!!! Thanks so much ladies for all th updates you all WONDERFUL!!! tanya

Welcome Jules! AF means Aunt Flow, and I still can't figure out the bfp, and i've written in here for like 3 months! I must be a ditz. Lolashaw, I have been diagnosed with PCOS and It worked on me the 1st month. It will just take time for some people. My doc said it could take up to 6 months, you just keep upping the mg of clomid each month till you get a positve ovulation reading. It'll happen! I know that doesn't help. I tried for so long and each time I got AF I would cry and cry, but that's just the way it goes. Update: I went to the doctor and he seems to think that the twin that didn't make it will absorb back into my body?!?! Has anyone ever heard of a vanishing twin? I've done some research and usually it's absorbed by now. It passed away over 9 weeks ago. If it does absorb, it's like I'm my babies burial ground. I'm so scared it could do something to my baby girl. The worrying never stops does it??

rachelle-s thank you for helping me with the terms used on here. :) I have heard of a baby absorbing back into your body. I was talking to a lady the other day about clomid and she said she was on clomid and got pregnant with twins and that happened to one of her babies but the other one came out healthly and beautiful, so don't stress to much and enjoy being pregnant with your little girl. Good luck to you and Merry Christmas. :)
