Hello Ladies,
My name is Debbie and I am starting a post for all of us starting our 2WW.I am ovulating today and tomarrow will be 1dpo. This month I used 100mg clomid on days 5-9. No iui just natural this time.I have been charting for 2 months now and if it helps you can take a look at my chart anytime if it helps.
****************************BABY DUST TO US ALL ! ****************************
Hi Debbie!! I am also on my 2ww I had a positive on the ovk yesterday and the day before, I am cd18 also, and on clomid days 3-7 I am also trying natural, this is my second month on clomid and I am feeling good about this one!
SSBD to all!! xxxx
Hi CrystalCrystal b-12,
That's great that we are on the same day! This is my second month on clomid too! I am feeling pretty positive that this is the one also.I used the digitalDigital rectal exam opk this month.It was great not having to decipher the test lines.It shows a smiley face for a positive result then you don't test again. I got tired of the sticks after 3 months.It is definately worth the money for the digital. I tested yesterday and today my temps started going up so I know that O is here today.We did the BD last night so I think we got it this time.
Good luck keeping busy for the 2ww.I am starting a book and going to lay out in the sun to try and get a tan. Baby Dust***************Debbie
Can I join this group??? I am one day past ovulation...but I think I am going to baby dance today anyway for good measure. The only change this cycle is preseed!!!
Hello,
My name is Debbie. I am 1dpo also. Welcome to the dreaded 2ww ! Did you do any charting this month?
********************Baby dust*******************
Hello, Today my bbt went way up.I took my temp around 4:30 this morning.I recently started taking my bbt vaginally because sometimes I sleep with my mouth open. My Dr. suggested it because it shows more accurate readings.If your mouth has been open for awhile the temps are lower. This was news to me but I can definately see the difference in my chart.
How is everything going?
Crystalwolf- I know that using the opk sticks can be frustrating.But, as long as you bd everyother day you should be fine.
************************Baby Dust***************************
Debbie
I have heard that about vaginal temps. If I don't get a bfp on this round then I might do that next month.
As it turns out I didn't O until Sunday and we only got a chance to baby dance on friday and sat so hopefully it will be okay. I think that using pre-seed will give us a good chance!! I have a good feeling about this cycle.
omg joal!! me too, I am trying to ignore anything going on with me. I dont' want to get my hopes up.
I have a question for everyone? I typically have a 28 cycle. actually pretty consistently...so since I didn't ovulate until cd 17 , does that mean i will likely only have an 11 day luteal phase?
If you are taking clomid then it tends to make your cycles longer, my cycles are 31 days, but they were longer before the clomid, so they've actually gotten shorter, if not, then I would assume that you would start on cd28 like normal. I can't be positive though. Where did you get the preseed lube? Can you find it over the counter? Or do you have to buy it off the net?
Hello,
My cycles wer usually 29 days but when I take clomid they are 31 days.I ovulate on clomid on cd 17 also.You should have a reg 14 day luteal phase. Baby Dust!!!
I'm now 12 dpo and broke down and tested instead of waiting like I told myself I would. I used an answer hpt and I don't know if it is a mix of my imagination and wishful thinking or if it's really there, but I think I see the faintist line ever, either that or a shadow, lol. I'm going to go buy another test today and try again Monday morning when AF should be here (if I can wait that long). Can anyone recomend a better, more sensitive hpt? Thanks!
If you have a dollar store nearby get one of their pregnancy tests and test tomarrow morning.It has a very low detection level.But the best is first response.It will tell you + or -at 12 dpo. Good luck!
********************Baby Dust ***********
Good luck with the FRER test!! All the best for a BFP.
Personally I think that I am out and it is only 7dpo but my LP is only 11 or 12 days anyway and last month I had a decline in temps at 7dpo and it is pretty much where it was last month. So unless my temps are rescued by implantation I will wait for AF to arrive...
Yesterday I had a drop in temps but today they rose up higher than they have ever been.I am hoping that it was implantation and that my temps stay up.
Did anyone test yet?
If my temps stay up,I am going to test on Tuesday with my clearblue digital.
Baby dust*********************
Selaiwa that is great, I hope they stay up! Loads of baby dust to you!!!
AF came this morning :( I think it is safe to say I am losing my mind and the local pharmacy should not be allowed to sell me hpt's unless I am late, lol. Wanting something so badly can make you imagine just about anything I guess.
Joal- sorry Af showed up.My temps dropped a little today but they are still above my coverline.
Everyone else- I am hanging in there.I am definately going to test in the morning. The wait is killing me this time. I just want it over with! Either AF or BFP at this point. Just getting an answer is what I need.I have really bad heartburn and anxiety along with slight cramping.
sorry about the AF joal...I laughed when I read your post!! you are so right, before you buy an HPT you should have to show your chart to prove you are late. lol.
selaiwa, great about your temps!!!
My temps are still above my coverline however are heading in the wrong direction and that little witch AF will likely show up this week. so if she is coming I wish it would just hurry up so i could move on to the next cycle.
I got a BFN on my pregnancy test this morning.My temps did go back up a little bit but I think AF will be here in a couple of days.I am cd 29 and usually AF arrives on 30-31.
I am hoping too!!! My temp went back up today. My my bb's are so swollen, sore and feel hot!! I don't think that its a real sign b/c I've had it before and that little witch AF showed up but it does tell me that my progesterone is still up. If they are up tomorrow I will test tomorrow
CD 30 and still no AF!! my boobs are sore too, the last couple of days I've had minor twinges of pain not quite exactally like cramping of AF though. I'm going to test on Fri. Wish me luck!
Selaiwa, I'm sorry to hear this isn't your month. Don't loose hope.
Sprinkling lots of SSBD to all you wonderful ladies!!
Hope I am not too late. RE confirmed ovulation on May 30th and went in a week later and had progesterone test. Dr says to test 1.5 week from June 6th, so my HPT test date is June 18th. I've been getting high temps the last 5 days and have been having major cramps. Yesterday was my nauseous day.
Crystalwolf : Good luck!!! Sounds very exciting!! Hope this is a BFP!!!
I think I am out this month. I am pretty sad and depressed about it and considering stopping TTC. It is getting the better of me. My temps took a nose dive....but my period hasn't shown up yet today so maybe that ugly aunt flo will show tomorrow and get onto the next cycle and put this all behind me.
Good luck tomarrow Crystalwolf ! Mrs-hynes,I know ttc is hard.I am going through the same emotions that you are and I am thinking about quitting also.I have decided to give it 1 more month on clomid since I did ovulate on 100 mg.
I am out. My temps drpped and took another hpt.Negative. Af is due tomarrow and I can definately tell she's coming.
Hello laddies, I've decided to to join you guy's in that dreaded 2WW. I really can't stand this part. I'm sure you all feel the same way. Sending LOBD to everyone hoping you guy's get your BFP this month.
MINA79- Welcome to the group. My name is Debbie.I got a BFN this month. I am off meds this cycle. I am trying naturally this month while I lose some weight from taking clomid.
i am on dpo 4 according to my charts so I guess we will just have to wait and see. I am not testing until the 22nd or I might just stay and wait until I see my fertility specialist but I am going for a test that will see if I ovulated on Monday
SSBD to all!! xxxx
