[bam1014]

Good luck treatgirl!  I'm starting a new list right now, and I've got your name on it.  Hopefully I will be moving it off again very soon!

Just so the new ladies know, I try to start a new list once a week to get everybody updated to where we are all at in our cycles.  Some weeks I'm better at it then others.  So I'm starting the new lists right now and I'll meet you lovely gals over there =p

Hi,

Hope all is well with everyone today.  I am getting really nervous.  AF has not started yet and I am on CD 32..  So Last month I started on CD33 so we will see what tomarrow brings.  I don't have any test or I proably would have already tested.  LOL  I was kinda cramping earlier back in the week and last week.  But nothing the past couple of days.  Ive not been sleepin very well.  I think I am just nervous.  So anyway I guess we will see what tomarrow brings. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

[bam1014]

Dana - go look at my LP temps.  They are all over the place going up and down.  A woman had left me a note saying she thought I had an LP defect.  Not a short LP, I know that is not the problem.  But I googled LP defect, progesterone, BBT and found that adequete progesterone is needed to ensure a good lining and allow for implantation.  My temps "may" suggest that my progesterone if fluctuating in my LP.  I messaged my RE today and he said there are no tests for what I'm asking, but has no problem putting me on progesterone as it's "no harm, no foul".  

[DMarie919]

Bridgette: What were your temps doing that make you think something is up with the progesterone levels?  As for the list...hmm....it will be either luck to do it now or otherwise hopefully you will have to REVISE the list before monday!!  

Alicia: GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!

Lori06: SOrry about the BFN but maybe you are right maybe it was early.

I am trying to resist the urge to test at 13dpo...it will be Sunday.  I have had a burning lower back pain all day today....I don't know what to think....ugh...this waiting is sheer torture....

[bam1014]

Lori - yep, I'm really thinking I should do a new one =p  Then hopefully I'll spend all weekend making new lists!!

[smr08]

hmmm, usually you do the list and then the BFP's start rolling in and then you have to keep re-doing them, right???

[cocacolapanda]

Good afternoon all!  Just stopping by to drop off a truck load of baby dust!

Good luck to all of you testing soon!  Sounds like a few!

Happy Birthday Bridgette!!

*Lots and Lots of baby dust for all!*

[bam1014]

What do you guys think, should I start a new list before the testing tomorrow?  What would bring the greatest luck?

[smr08]

Alicia- I hope you bring some more good news to this thread! Now I can't wait till morning :)

[hudsy]

Happy birthday bridgette!!!

Lori0- I have the same symptoms, sore boobs and light on off cramping and bloat.....which are my AF symptoms and my prego symptoms... I'm testing tom. CD32 so I have a feeling we both are or we both aren't!! Fingers crossed!!!!

I'll let everyone know tom. morning!!!!!!!!!!!

[Preciouspg]

Morning Ladies:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIDGETTE!!!...I hope you have a 'WONDERFUL DAY:)  

Bridgette, I agree with you on the temps.  I'm going to have to go back on Progesterone again and use Vitex because this last cycle was all over the place and I had symptoms return to indicate low progesterone levels.  Oh well, at least I know what I need to do.  

Well Ladies, I'm with a few of you, back to CD's:(...CD1 for me, but I'm not letting go of my Dream:)  I hope you won't either.  'Keeping My Dreams Aive' helps me to move forward in a good way and be 'Thankful' and 'Enjoy' the 'Great Life' I have already:)

Sending Blessings Full Of Sticky Baby Dust To All!!!



  

[lori0615]

Happy Birthday Bridgette!!!

smr08: Thanks for the info, now I know why I like to wait till a week late to even think of testing.

[bam1014]

Thanks Lori :)  Yes, the temping is about ready to make me bang my head against the wall, however if it means that I have found out a potential problem with my luteal phase then it has served it's purpose!!  I just left a message for my RE this morning asking if they can do any tests to see if my progesterone is high enough in my LP.  I did some reading about it last night and it all seems to make sense to me that my temps very well may indicate that my progesterone is irratic in my LP, therefore causing problems with my lining and implantation.  If that's the problem and we can get it fixed than all the better shot I have at a BFP!

[smr08]

Morning Girls! My cramps finally left!!! CD3, and I can't wait till she's outta here!

Missmyangel- Thanks! I'm hoping that one of these months i'll have a sticky little bean :)
Good luck today! Shop around, i'm sure you can find it cheaper.

Lori0- sorry about the BFN, but maybe it was to early, don't give up.

Bridgette- i'm still not giving up on you!!!!! I never temp'd and i'm starting to not like it!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! xoxo

[bam1014]

Morning all!  My temps went back down today, so I'm officially frustrated and not going to test at all.  The witch should be here sometime this weekend.

I agree that Clomd can be found cheaper.  I think Natalie got a deal on hers at Wal-Mart?  IDK.  My insurance is not supposed to cover it, but for whatever reason they did (not going to complain about it!) so I only had to pay $20.

[texasangel343]

Clomid is the cheapest fertility medication out there!  You should call yourself and see what the price is.  Check SAMS, Costco, Walmart, Target or CVS.  They all do the generic ones for $9 for the 5 days of 50mg.  And $18 for 100mg.  $200 is a ridiculous amount to spend on clomid.  I spent that much on some of my injectables.

Good Luck!

[lori0615]

Hi ladies: I'm CD 30, I broke down and tested today and it was BFN, but my charting software is now telling me that I am 11DPO not 15DPO, It changed my Ovulation day so today it might be early to have tested. Now I'm waiting to see if AF shows. I think she is on her way since my breast started to fill up and hurt some now. Still been having mild cramps for the last 3 mornings.



MissmyAngel: I'm sorry clomid cost so much there, here it is $20 or less I think they told me at walmart. I hope you don't have to worry.

[MissmyAngel]

smr08-sorry the witch showed :/

northernsunshine-I am from Onatrio, I will check out that website later on when I come back from the hospital; have to have a cyst removed today. I agree we should have funding for IVF. Hopefully it never comes to that for me, but if it did, I would never be able to afford it; a friend called the pharmacist for me to find out the price of clomid, and its $200 for the 50 mg for one month. I got a little depressed after hearing that, lol.

To everyone else hurtling towards the end of their 2WW hope to see some more BFP's soon. :) I'm only at day 14, think I ovulated early on day 12; never got a positive OPK this month but thats about my normal O time. The OPK got a little darker on day 11, then was light again on day 12 ;p

Morning ladies

Bridgette- I'm hoping this is your month.  So far your temps look really promising.

Alicia-bloat is a good thing...well not the most comfortable thing, but it was one of my first pregnancy symptoms.

Northern- I'm not from Canada but tottaly agree that infertility isn't given attention that it deserves.  I know it the US the laws vary so much state to state.  Some states mandate 100% coverage, and others have no laws at all.

~~~~~~***Super Sticky Baby Dust to All***~~~~~

[smr08]

Alicia- yes, the *itch showed! I'm gonna relax this cycle, and bd whenever I feel I want to not have to :) I so hope she stays away from your house say for the next 9 months ;) sending prayers your way. SSBD

Bridgette- I know nothing about temps but you can bet i'll be watching yours and praying they stay up there. You getting a BFP will be like me getting one:) xoxo

Dana- i'm sending you prayers and truckloads of baby dust!! I sure hope this is your last TWW!!!

[DMarie919]

Hey girls...just checking in to see if we get any new BFPS!!  I hope we have some good news over the next few days to keep our spirits high! :)  Good luck Bridgette, Alicia, and Lori06!!!  

10dpo....some cramps today so not sure what to think....  

[bam1014]

Thank you for posting that info Northern.  I agree that infertility is not given enough significance that it deserves.

Even though tomorrow was the "test" day, I may even wait till Sunday or Monday.  I don't want to waste an HPT if I don't have to.  I guess we'll see what my temps look like in the morning.

[hudsy]

Good luck bridgette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINGERS CROSSED FOR YOU TOO!!!

[hudsy]

Lori!!!! I just read your comment saying AF came!! I must have missed it before writing my last comment! That really really ***** :'-( If we're not prego I'll be here keeping you company for a while while we take a break. Hope those cramps go away....like it isn't bad enough already!!

Well I hope Lori0615 and I can keep AF away and still get our BFP. So I thought for sure for sure I was out, but today I'm bloated(which can be from AF) but my appetite has increased like crazy today! I'm trying soooooooo hard not to get my hopes up to get let down but I can't help it!! I'm still waiting until Sat. and waiting for AF to come by next wed....so we'll see!! CD30 today!
