Well I took 150mg clomid CD 3-9 and I'm taking 750mg metformin and 5 mg prednisone and 81mg baby asprin a day and I'm taking 200mg prometrium vaginally during the TWW.....I got a + OPK Saturday and tons of cramping yesterday...
my cycles have been all over the baord since DD 18 mo ago. We have been TTC since then with no luck. 5 rounds of clomid and nada! HCG test and tubes are clear. Dh has minor swimmer
issues - but nothing to cause BFN. Very depressing since no issues TTC DD. We are taking a break and trying au'natural and will do IUI in Jan if no BFP before.
do any of you have a DC? or am i the only one?
Stinks when you have no probs 1st time around and this time is a horror story. i guess i should be blessed with her - but i have always wanted 2 or 3 children!
to think she may be an only child.
have you done an IUI before?
I dont get a positive OPK - my hormone levels are too low - sigh.
We DTD all weekend - so hoping we hit it right.
I'm 22 and DH is 23 and we've been TTC almost 4 years and have only had 2 preg. both ending in MC we haven't done IUI before but that will be our next step. We BD Friday and Sunday AM and will again tonight so hoping we get it right.
golly we try to Bd at least every day but if not we aren't worried cause I think the longer between the better in our case we suspect DH has low sperm count
mommyluv02 - Good luck to you!
Brown eyed girl - my gyn suggests every other day starting at CD 10 and then everyday with positive OPK for next few days and then everyother day til day 20. Since i will never get a positive OPK - i have to wing it and hope i hit the mark.
I just ovulated on the 1st (at least I think bc of a positive OPK and sore boobs). I would like to compare signs and symptoms too. This is my 2nd month ttc.
well I'm 2 DPO and some mild cramping but nothing out of the ordinary to report. We Bd'd again last night to make sure and get that last chance in there.
we are on the exact same cycle this time around...im usually 27 day cycle length and i o'd on sunday as well...so today i would be 2 days past...let the waiting begin
I'm in the late part of the tww and very nervous!!! Of all times not wanting to get prego.....I dont know for sure cause I can't even figure out my cycle since the methotrexate shot. but.....i had the "o" pain almost 2 weeks ago and I am experienceing a lot of cm. bb's are a bit fuller and some nausea. this can all be af coming but i have never had the cm. i am a lil nervous. i am hoping to get af this weekend....i dont know what can happen so soon after the shot but i am sure there is a reason that they tell you to wait 2mths...anyone have a similar situation? so i am here w/ you all but hoping to get af w/ in a few days. :)
I actaually was told by my dr that only reason they tell you to wait 2 months is so that your new pregnancy is easier to date and to let the body heal a bit more but it's ok to get preg right again.
i had some pain in my stomach yesterday...i never get cramping feelings in my stomach...lasted about 2 hours and then nothing today but some pressure in my pelvic area
i dont think that has anything to do with it...and i know its too soon to start really driving myself crazy during this 2WW
what i did find out today is that i will be o'n 2x this month due to my cycle length...so its like i have a 2nd chance to TTC before the end of the year
How do you know you'll O 2x? I know it's early to be stressing that's why I don't really relate the nausea with TTC....just probably ate something wrong.
based on the history of my cycles and when AF shows up i was due to O 12/2 and then again 27 days later 12/29...2x in december
i tried a calander and entered 7 past cycles and according to them ill have to o dates in december...i am thinking it also has something to do with november being a longer month this and the upcoming leap year
I am 3DPO and nothing yet. My DH got really really sick yesterday, like throwing up, dizzy, lightheaded, headache. He said it hit him all of a sudden when he was clocking in for work. He is a firm believer that the DH can feel some of our symptoms. What do you guys think? I know when my sister in law was pregnant, her DH felt really sick and told her to take HPT and she got BFP. WEIRD. I dont know what to think.... it is flu season too, so.... My bbs are still sore, but that is normal until AF arrives (but I hope it doesnt!!). I am going to try to wait to test until the expected day of AF. Last month, I spent about $50 on HPT's, just to get BFN's. lol. It is crazy. How about everyone else?
I totally believe Dh's have the same symptoms both times I've been preg. DH had same symptoms as I did....so that could be a good thing......I spend tons on OPK's and HPT's so when I find them on sale I buy them in bulk......I've actually got drawers of them.
Where can you find them in bulk? Wow, that makes me more excited knowing that DH's get symptoms a lot. I think it is funny how POAS is so addicting. DH says I am breaking us. lol. My mom is praying for a grandaughter. So, it is up to me to give that to her. She has 2 Grandsons from my sister. What should I be experiencing within the next week? 10 more days to go until AF is supposed to show.
I buy them online like on e bay and there is a wreck truck store where I live so I bought a whole bunch there for like a dollar a box.....
Well the symptoms I get are pretty much like AF symptoms except I get really dark blue veins on my breast around 10-13DPO and I have cramping that feels like a pinching almost.....and I get really really tired and have tons of heart burn.....and my equalibrium gets all screwy......but I know everyone is different but those are BFP symptoms
Well, I just took another OPK just to make sure that the positive I got the other day was actually my LH surge, and I am guessing it was because the test line on this one was barely noticeable compared to the reference line. So, I am hoping that I caught it! I guess we will find out soon. So, how is everyone else doing? My bbs look veiny, but I dont know if it is just bc I am fair skinned and looking for them. lol. Keep updating ladies!
I am not really sure how many days I am The computer spotted ovulation on the 11th cd, but I felt ovul. pain on the 13th. So I am not too sure. Anyone want to take a look at my chart and give me you best guess because I did get the opk on the 11th so I am not sure. Here is the link
http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/1de5ad
I would appreciate anyones opinion. My bbs are so sore and typically are about a week and a helf before my af. This month was a little delayed. Does anyone esle get really sore on the sides (by the armpit) of their bbs?
Well, today I have been experiencing some minor pains in my lower abdomen. I am hoping that is a good sign! 4 dpo today, 10 more to go!! How is everyone else feeling?
waitn838, sounds like we are pretty close together. I am not cramping anymore, but I did have a few shooting pains through my bbs earlier (which are sore, but normal from O to AF). My face got really hot today like 2 times, one in class, and the second time I was just sitting down watching t.v. I dont know if that is a sign or not. Looking forward to see what happens tomorrow.
well today I'm 4 DPO and my nipples are really sore. Not sure if it's from the clomid or what.....anyone have this on clomid? I never get sore nipples unless well I'm not even going to say....I'll jinx myself. But 4 DPO seems early.
since we are on the same exact days i thought i could relate to you more
last night out of nowhere i got the worse stomach cramps that made me feel nacious...i had to lay down for about an hour and then got up and ate some dinner
i have no idea what brought that on...i went to the doc early this morning to check for a UTI since ive been having all this pressure pain in my pelvic area and im free and clear of that so i dont know whats going on with that part of my body
my nipples have been sore since i was preg in oct...that ended in a m/c at 4wk3day :(
im really trying not to get my hopes up so soon but its so hard not to
I am 5 DPO today! Yippie! Well lastnight I had the worst stomach ache ever while I was trying to go to sleep. And I also had shooting pains through my bbs. Kind of like right underneath the nip. It was odd, but like everyone else says, I dont want to get my hopes up so I am just gonna go with the flow. I dont know if clomid can cause nipples to be sore. I have never used it. Waitn838, that is good that you dont have a UTI and that the pressure you are experiencing might be related to a bebe. :)
I agree it is really hard not to get hopes up. We will just have to wait and see..... Good luck Brown Eyed Girl and Waitn838. I cant wait.... we only have 9-10 more days until we can begin testing..... but I know I will probably crack and try one at 12-13 DPO. Well see......
I'lll probably crack this weekend I never make it past 7-8 DPO before I start testing...LOL
I don't know about the tummy pains it could be from a pregnancy in the making!?! I had tons of cramping all through my luteal phase and well into my BFP with my last pregnancy.....So maybe this could be it for you.
I have been noticing cramping still on my left side and (TMI) it actually hurts worse when DH and I BD.....last night I almost cried. I wonder if it could be a kidney infection or something.
That makes me so excited! If I remember right, I think that kidney infections mostly hurt through your back. Like down towards where you wear your pants to both sides of the middle. I would guess it is cramping not a kidney infection, unless it is accompanied by a fever and lower back pains. I do hope this is it for me. What I am worried about is that I got my + OPK on the Dec. 1st, and we BD all the week before, and the day of my +OPK, and the day after. I wish we would have done it a few days afterwards. I dont know if we did it enough. What do u think? Mhy stomach pains lastnight were accompanied by nausea and bloating. But I think it is because I ate Arby's at 5, and then sloppy joes and fries at like 8. I was stuffed, so I think I made myself sick. lol. Like you said in your earlier post, I think it is too early to experience nausea at least. But the cramping is explainable. I am praying for us all! I dont know if this will help but I have a really low and tilted uterus, so my cervix is about 2 inches from the opening. It hurts all the time when me and DH BD. We have to be very careful. Do you ever go to www.twoweekwait.com? I love that website! Hang in there everyone. Baby dust and sticky vibes to all!
Hey ladies I hope you don't mind me joining. FF just detected my ovulation on CD 16 so I am currently 3DPO. I am on my second cycle of clomid (100mg). Last cycle was on 50 mg and I ovulated then, however, the side effects have been much milder for me. If anyone out there knows are you suppose to have your progesterone checked 7DPO or on CD 21? I told myself that I would not test until I missed my period...so here goes the long wait. Baby dust to all!!!
I hope it's a good sign I've not got other pains or fever. So maybe it's BFP cramping. I used to go to TWW.com but It would take me like 30 minutes to post and then I'd never get responces. So I like it here. I checked my cervix earlier and it's low and hard.....so maybe this was what the pain was from but I know it was painful.
yeah I have a cycle anywhere from 28-62 day cycles. And if you O'd CD 16 you should be great to get a progestrone check this month. I also O'd CD 16 and will get mine probably tomorrow. But it doesn't have to be exactally CD 21 it can be later if you like.
We aren't sure what is causing the cramping. My dr thought it was just because of O but that was 2 days ago. Its almost like AF cramping but last night I started getting a shooting pain almost like it was going down my fallopian tube and cervix. Not sure how else to describe it. I never got a + opk this cycle either. But based on the u/s he thinks I O'd on cd 17 I'm now cd 20. I took femara 2.5 mg days 3-7 this cycle. Had an u/s on cd 14 which showed 3 follicles 12mm, 10mm, and 9mm. When I had the 2nd u/s on cd 18 (because of the cramping) those 3 follicles were gone but I had multiple small ones with the largest being 7.5mm. I have PCOS and Endo but have been in remission as my dr's call it on both for over a year now. I'm just concerned about the cramping being as painful as it is. Any ideas???
Thanks Brandi! I'm sure hoping so. Have a feeling if it doesn't happen again this month and I go through cramping for the next two weeks I'm going to be more upset than normal. LOL
I would too ttchopeful. I sware I had symptoms last month and got nothing but BFN's. UGH. Well, I havn't had anything else today but one cramp. But I'm not discouraged yet... IT IS STILL EARLY!!! havnt had too much CM, but it is there. Which might be something positive. Tomorrow is 6 DPO, which I think is the earliest day you can implant. I dunno... something to look forward to. Anyone else have any more symptoms? Sorry, I love to hear about others!
I thought I would join in and wish everyone luck...I am 16dpiui and got my BFP 6 days ago but am considered a high risk because of ectopic I had back in Feb 2002.
Have you ever wanted something soo bad that you convience yourself that today is the day? That's how I am but now that I am prego I can't enjoy it because I'm too stressed about whether it will turn out to be another ectopic....You all are great and I know that something good is going to happen for each and everyone of you's. We're approaching a new year and I say claim it with the words....I'm going to have a BFP! Like they say if at first you don't succeed then..try...try..try...Again! Believe it and you can achieve it!
So far, lots of gas especially lastnight, and woke up with stuffy nose. I am also talking funny like I am getting ready to get a sore throat. How about everyone else?
the mornings are usually symptom free for me...its in the afternoon i get pressure in my pelvis area that lasts until i get home from work and prop my feet....
the only very small i noticed so far was a very dull pain in my lower stomach...sorta like 3 pinches and then it was gone...who knows what that could have been
im 5dpo today but im beginning to wonder if i o'd earlier...ill begin charting next month to nail it down when i o
Phenominal Woman---Congrats on the BFP......I'm glad to hear about those although it makes me want mine so much more.
I'm actually feeling pregnant. I know 5 DPO is very early but so far this is exactally like Aug. when I got my BFP I'm having all kinds of pinching and cramping every day since O and if comes and goes all through the day. For some reason my equalibrium is still off and I too am having scratchy throat....feels like a cold coming on. My CM isn't much but I do have some.....and my nipples are still sore as they get. Well wish me luck and good luck to the rest of you. I won't be on here this weekend so I'll hopefully come back with more symptoms.......oh I get my progestrone check today so pray it's 10 or more.
i will be hoping for you. i tested again last night and got a bfn. i took the cvs 4 days prior test. not even a slight line. :( i guess it is good to take a break from being pregnant again, but it is still depressing. here's to you!!!!
I have been having a scratchy throat as well. Unfortunately when I temped today FF put my ovulation day back one day so I am again 3DPO. Just had my progesterone levels done so I have to call and find out on Tuesday (lab is slow). However, last month this time my nipples were sore too and this month I have nothing.
Phenom- Congrats girl on your BFP!! Try to take it easy
BrownEyed-Thanks I hope they are above 10 also. Last month on 50 mg of clomid I had levels of 22.5. this month on 100 mg so let's see if they have improved. I also hope you get good progesterone levels as well.
waitn838-Charting is great as long as you remember to take the temp at the same time every day. I always have to go to the bathroom before the time to take my temp which is a pain. However, this is only my second month of TTC and 1st month of charting and I am learning so much about my body.
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. Your symptoms were alot like mines at the beginning. My throat started to hurt and my bb's were sore the whole time with alot of bloating....you're on the right path...... I look forward to your next response with hopefully some good news......lot's of baby dust to you!
torismommy, thank you as well for your response. I'm trying to take it easy but it's easier said than done. I thought the 2ww was nerve wrecking... try waiting every week hoping for your Hcg levels to go everytime you go to test. I wish you much love and success to you all! TGIF!
Congratulations on your BFP PhenomenalWoman! Keep thinking positive I know you can make that baby stick in the right place!
waitn838: It could be a positive sign! Keep your chin up and keep praying for that BFP
Torismommy: Sounds like it could be a sign since you don't have the same symptoms as last month.
Brandi: I am pulling for your BFP this month and sending lots of sticky sticky baby dust to you.
For me, My dr thinks my cramping is from pelvic congestion. I looked it up after talking to him yesterday and think that could be it too. Hopefully its a baby in the making though!
Good luck to those of you in your TWW and Congrats to everyone with their BFP's! Sticky baby dust to all of you!
I hope this is helpful to you...I cramped for the duration of the cycle. Once they told me that I had 3 follicles that were 17,19,19 I cramped even after the IUI was done. Those follicles are something else! I also had the twinges from the ovary to my pelvis which my RE said was completely normal considering the stimulation of these follicles. He was actually glad to hear that I was cramping so I am thinking its a good thing. After that u/s we then waiting 2 more days before he gave me the trigger shot. He figured the follies had to have grown some from the last u/s so we went for it! Don't worry thought it's a natural feeling but it does make you more aware of the changes that your body is going through.....i see lots of+++++++++++++++results for you!...(smile)
well ladies...today i have not had any pressure feelings in my pelvis but im extremely hungry and this morning i had 3 pinching feelings very low in my stomach which ended that quick...didnt hurt just enough to notice
who knows what the weekend will bring...monday ill be 7dpo and next week will be the longest week...its the worse week for me
good luck to all...hopefully there are many BFPs this month :)
Enjoy your weekend and try not to think about it!....I know easier said than done but don't let this waiting period take away your peace of mind.....You see how bugged out I am....lol I know you will make a great mommy so take care of you and let God do the rest....(smile)
I have actually been doing pretty good not thinking about it. But it is still early for me in the TWW. Next week will be CRAZY. Nothing more today at all.... but it is only 3. Still have a long day to go. WHoop Whoop.... BFP's are a comin. LOL.
Well I've got 1 more hour and my weekend starts I'm glad but I have to go get chased by the evil nurse with the needle soon as I get off work so hoping for a big #.
Phenomenal- We really appreciate your encouragment and support....thanks so much.
I'll probably start testing Sunday. LOL that's as long as I can wait.... 7 DPO
PhenomenalWoman: Thank you for your encouragement I need all I can get right now. I'm really hoping that this it. It would be the best Christmas present for us and our families. You keep hanging in there, too! And make sure that baby sticks.
Waitn838: Just keep updating us with those symptoms and keep thinking positive. Your going to get your BFP soon!
lamb18: I love your enthusiasm too! We all need to keep thinking two lines and BFP's for everyone. We will all get there! And maybe a lot of us this month so we can join PhenomenalWoman!
Brandi: Your doing great hun! Keep thinking positively! You know you should wait longer than Sunday to start testing but I know how hard it is to! I'm sure I will start testing the end of next week. Even though I've already been warned that my cycle will be longer this month. Let me know how big that number is as soon as you can! We are all pulling for ya!!!
OK. So what does it mean when ur CM looks like hand lotion? It is white, really thick. I know this is tmi but it was weird. Is it a sign of pregnancy? Thanks.
Well, the only symptoms I have are lotion like CM, minor cramping, very hot feeling, umm and I was wondering about something else. I always have extremely sore bbs from the time that I ovulate to the day my period comes. My Luteal phase is 14 days. SO, I am 6 dpo now and my boobs really dont hurt anymore. Could pregnancy reverse my sore bbs? It is weird bc they always KILL me until the day my period comes. It's weird. Now the sore ness is barely there, especially in the left one. I have to press it pretty rough to find where it is still sore. Does anyone have any new symptoms?
the soreness of my bb's was on and off. It would be sensitive during the O time then go away for about a week until AF would come then her goes the soreness again! But in your case I have been experiencing the same type of symptoms before my pos results. Body would get hot at night and it was hard for me to sleep on my stomach because of my bbs being so tender and that little pinch I would get from the side I was O'n on would twinge. My CM went from dry after a couple day from O'n then I'd get a thick white but not too heavy but enuf to notice....sorry so graphic but this is the only way I know how to describe it!............I will keep you in my prayers!
Thank you so much! So your breast soreness went on and off? And you also had the same type of CM? The thick, white lotion like stuff? Mine isnt a lot, but it is enough that I can "feel" it down there. It is all making me very excited. Mine was really dry after O too. Then today, this stuff. My hopes went from about 50 to 100. THIS IS AWESOME! So, how many weeks are you? Has the morning sickness set in yet?
I'm excited for you as well! It's sounding real promising and similar...! I don't know how far I am because it's to early to be seen but stronge enuf to detect. I am 16dpiui and could be considered about 2weeks now. Bb's are still sore but and only had one incident where I was nauseous but once I ate I was fine. Even with my son I never had morning sickness so I guess you can say I was fortunate....lol! I'm so excited for you and I hope +++++++results! Are you on any horomone treatments? I use to be on chlomide but I told my RE that I wanted something else because the only results I can see from it was alot of weight gain....Ugh! I did O with it but the bloating was un real and so was the mood swings...I would cry for no reason...lol! This time for the first time I tried the injectibles which is a more agressive aproach but the side affect were way better for me than the chlomide. The only issue is the OHSS. Once it get's going on you there's no stopping. After my IUI it was hard for me to walk the next day without being in some kind of pain! But it's worth it to me! I'm everything is going to be alright for you too!++++++++++lots of baby dust to youxoxoxo
No, this is only my 2nd month ttc, so I am not on any treatments. I think if we dont concieve (conceive) within a year, then we get put on treatments. Im not sure though. I really hope this is our month. DH already has a 4 year old from a previous realtionship and he is ready for another one. Wow, I bet your BFP was greatly needed. I read on the internet that implantation usually occurs 6-12 DPO. So, I am hoping and praying to God. I wish everyone luck! I hope you have a healthy 9 months.
