Shauna - October 12

Hello Ladies, Well nothing really new to report. I am CD27 today. I was not keeping up with my temps this month so I dont know when I O'd. My temp the last two days have been really high, I have never had a 98.7 in my charting. This month I started out at 96.6 and around there. Then in the last 5 days I have had really high temps....all in the 98s. I am not ill either. SOOOOO weird. SHAWNA...thank you for the message on myspace...I really needed that. You really need a better pic tho...Its so tiny. lol. MEL.... sounds good for you this month. Good Luck. Hello all the newish ladies...I hope you are all well. GINGER..... GL with the procedure. Well I should go and bath my baby ( she woke up REALLY stinky and still smells even tho I changed her) It lingering. YUCK!!!!

Kristi, any word yet? AF or no AF? I'm dying here. Seems like right now there's so much going on with everybody and I'm so anxious for updates! How are you feeling? Ginger, what time do you go in today? Good luck with it... keep us posted! Shauna, maybe your high temps is a good sign, huh? When is AF due? Shawna, what about you? what's new on your end? Well, I tried testing today because I figured if nothing else, if I got a BFN it would finally convince me to stop getting my hopes up for this cycle. Figures, my LAST test I had, I screwed up and it was inconclusive! Oh well, I forgot that FF had thought I O'd two days earlier than when I probably did, so I guess there's still a chance that I tested too early. So much for finding an excuse to not be too hopeful! Funny how things work out. Anyway, happy FRIDAY!!!!! WOO HOOOO!!

Hey Mel, still no AF, and my temps went up again today...here are my temps for the last week...Sun 98.45, Mon 97.80, Tue 98.23, Wed 98.13, Thurs 98.17, Fri 98.36 and my coverline is around 97.71....so I dont know know. I am 17dpo, cd31, and I went back and was looking over my previous charts and over the last year of temping my cycles have never really been conisistant, they go anywhere from 29 days to 32 so I am still not trying to get my hopes up, but if I wake up tomorrow (Sat) morn and my temps are still up and still no red, I am going to test again.... Dont give up on your bfn just yet...I have had two so far ;-) and still no AF, sooo, we will just keep our figures crosses! When is AF due? Ginger, hope your IUI goes well today!! Let us know how is goes! Shauna, when will you test? Sounds like it could be promising.... Shawna, hows things on your end??

I have a question? Can you take clomid if you buy it online instead of going through the doctor...my doctor just tells me to keep trying and its been 18 months :(

 

Shawna1 - October 13

Good luck today Ginger, my fingers are crossed for you!!! Please let us know how it all went! Angeleyes, you should be monitored by your dr when you are on clomid. If you have any cysts, the clomid can make them grow, plus you can overstimulate your ovaries. So if I were you I would stay far away from online meds. If your dr won't help you out, find a new dr. Kristi, Mel and Shauna, I hope you are all doing well. I think we are all in a very exciting stage in our cycles right now. I am not going to test until next week since AF isn't due until Sunday or Monday and I refuse to test until I am a few days late. I still have really sore boobs. Usuaully they start hurting right around O and last until a couple days before AF and it is usually my nips that are really sore. This time they started hurting a few days after O and although my nips are really sensitive, it is the under part and sides of my boobs that really hurt. Plus, I am having some cramping on and off and last night when I laid down for bed (I usually sleep on my back) I had to roll over because it felt like my ribs were being stretched. It was a strange sensation, but I'm sure I'm overanalzing everything, but that is in my nature! Take care girls and Happy Friday the 13th! PS Sorry if this sounds a bit familiar to some of you!!! HAHAHA

 

stepmommel - October 13

Wow, maybe we're gonna have really good luck on this thread this month! Sounds pretty promising for both you guys Shawna and Kristi! Angel-eyes, I agree, if you are to the point of having to get meds on line, it might be time to find a different doctor. Usually if you've not had luck after a year they'll start to work with you. You could be wasting time working with this doc. I say try someone new and see if they won't work more with you. Good luck!

 

ginger6363 - October 13

Happy Friday, Ladies!!! I am so excited for you guys--we have a lot of promising symptoms and I feel some positive vibes on this thread this cycle! So, I went in this morning for my IUI. Things went fairly well, when they tested my dh's specimen they were all pretty excited. Apparently he's got some pretty high numbers. Apparently, the avg man has counts of 50 million (20 million viable for the IUI procedure) and my dh had 88.9 million (44 million viable for the procedure). So that's good. As for the procedure itself: I was a bit nervous b/c I had ovulation pain yesterday afternoon and this morning before I went in. When they checked my ovaries with an u/s before the procedure the follicle was gone. The doc said it had probably just happened but I hope I did not ovulate too early and "miss" my chance. The procedure itself was difficult and painful: they had a very tough time getting to my cervix. They ended up having to call a second staff member in for another pair of hands (but if figure I am not the typical case b/c of my anatomy-issues). But the good news is they finally got there! Now I am in the dreaded 2WW wait. I'll ya'll posted! Hope you ladies have a fab weekend!

 

Kristi1 - October 13

Hey Ginger, good luck! You had tons of little spermies, how great!! Now just keep happy thoughts and try to relax....yeah right huh? Angel-eyes, I agree with everyone else, you really shouldnt take Clomid or any prescription drugs without the the prescription. If you have been tccing for 18 months with no pg, and your Dr won't put you on something or do some tests or whatever, you really need to find another dr. Well, everyone have a great weekend!

 

Kristi1 - October 14

Well, tested this morning...a HUGE BFN. My temps are still up which is weird, but I am almost positive she will arrive today, if not, tomorrow. I am really crampy and there is now watery pink on my pantyliner and more when I wipe...soooo, I guess that is it for me for now, will call Monday and make the RE appt and will probably just kinda take a break in the meantime...I think I will just keep track of my cd's and still bd when I think we should be O'ing, but no drugs and no more temping. Hope everyone else is doing well and have a great weekend!

 

stepmommel - October 15

Kristi, I'm still gonna hold out hope that AF doesn't come visit you... But if she does, I think it's a good decision to take the month off slightly. Maybe you'll relax enough about it that it'll happen for you when you're not even expecting it! Ginger, glad to here your procedure went well today. Doesn't sound like it was too fun, but now it's done and you're in the 2ww, so that's good. Please keep us posted! Happy Saturday to everyone else. I'll check back in tomorrow. Nothing new to report here.

 

stepmommel - October 16

Well, I think AF is here. I'm 99% certain anyway. Unless that was just unusually large amounts of spotting this morning, but who am I fooling!? :) SIGH. So, maybe next month is my month!? How is everyone else?

 

Kristi1 - October 16

Mel, did AF ever show? I hope not! AF showed for me in full force yesterday...along with some pretty bad cramps, but hopefully they will end soon. Hope everyone is doing well!

 

mrshorse - October 16

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been here in awhile, I was having computer problems. But we fixed that by buying 2 new laptops ths weekend. My dh is going to Iraq in January so we wanted to be able to stay in contact. I'm really disappointef about him going for more than the obvious reasons. we were plannng our IVF, but now we'll have toput it off again. I feel like everytime we are about to do something tey send him away. AHHHH!!!! Kristi- to you I wanted to say that both times I've gotten preg have been monthes that I "took off". I would really consider taking the month off. Babydust to all and I missed you all lots!!

 

stepmommel - October 17

Sure was slow on here yesterday! Where is everyone!? Welcome back Mrshorse! I'm sorry about the timing of your dh leaving. That really sucks, like it's not hard enough TTC when you're together! Kristi, sorry about AF. I'm still somwhere between realy light AF and heavy spotting - enough for a tampon, but not enough for me to want to count it as CD1 yet. I wish it would just START so I would for once have a clear idea of what CD1 is so I can be sure I'm starting my clomid on the right day though! Shawna, has AF shown for you? She was due by now, wasn't she? Ginger, how are you doing in your 2ww? Keeping sane? Shauna, what's up with you? Good morning everyone else!

 

Shawna1 - October 17

OK I am officially one day late today. No signs of AF either. Everytime I use the bathroom I have to analyze the tp before I am satisfied she isn't here yet! My boobs are still really sore today, so is my back. We had our first snow fall yesterday, driving anywhere was a mess! Kristi, I'm so sorry about AF this weekend and I am very happy you were able to come to a decision. Mel, perhaps this could be implantation? What do you think? Ginger how are you feeling a few days after your procedure? Laine, I am really sorry your husband has to go to Iraq, I will keep him in my prayers. Well Ladies, I have to geton with my day, I'll check in later!

 

Kristi1 - October 17

Hi ladies! Laine, glad to see you back, but sorry about dh...how long will he be gone? You wont be able to get in a try before he leaves? Mel, keep up posted, maybe the spotting will stop completely! Shawna, when are you going to test...sounds promising! Shauna, how is it going with you? Ginger, how are you feeling? I hope everyone is doing well. I called to make the appt to see the RE, but they have to send me a packet with info I have to fill out, get my med records from my OB, then they will make a plan out for me on what they think we need to do, THEN they will call me and set up the appt....so figure I wont hear anything for a couple weeks on that. Well, everyone have a GREAT day!
