Hi again!
Alyssa - I don't know if there is a specific side that you cramp on when you're pg - but let us know if you find out!
So - why does it hurt to have sex when you're close to O-ing?

Babydust to everyone!

spring...what kind of lube did you get? You should use preseed because ky has spermicide in it and it can also just block sperm...preseed is the only thing out there right now (besides ultrasound gel) that doesnt kill or block sperm....Im trying to keep you from having any roadblocks considering i have to have help getting pregnant...I try to do all the research i can so its as easy as possible....i wish you all the luck!!! I believe there is a forum on here about it....

robin, i guess we posted at the same time....It hurts because it can make your ovaries tender and if he bumps your cervix then they bump your ovaries....i was told also that since im on clomid that could mean multiple follicles(i hope and pray thats the reason considering its never hurt this bad before but then again i rarely o'd before the clomid...) ++++baby dust++++

miranda where did you read that Ky is bad for sperm ?

my dr told me and there is a post on here labled ky...

i guess its all who you talk to whether they agree....my dr said no but some may think its ok....but just to be safe i use pre seed...

How soon do you start to have PG signs? Anyone know?

Alyssa, I think it all depends on your horomone levels....I have read on here of some women having them a few dpo. with my son i got severe morn. sickness at 3 weeks.....I was told it was probably twins because of that and severe fatigue and more than doubled the amount of "normal" horomones at that time....plus identical twins run in my family a lot. Im really hoping for twins this time . I would love for my ds to have some playmates close to his age....

Hey miranda, how are you doing today? Me, alright I guess. I just feel like crap and I don't know why, this is my 2nd day like this. I can't believe that it would be pregnancy signs, it's way to early but my back huts my front hurts, my stomach feels "hot." I don't know how else to explain. Who knows, so where are you at in this TTC business?

well i had a dip in my temps yesterday and thought i was about to o but today my temps were back in the normal range...so maybe i did or maybe it will happen today...fingers crossed...i still have stretchy cm a little more than yesterday so hopefully!!! i hope everyone here is fine....I hope you are pregnant alyssa!!!! Hope you feel better...

I would like to know if you us clomid, estradiol, and procheive are you already pregant when you start the prochieve

Hi ladies!
Did everybody BD all weekend?! Hope you had fun. My poor husband - never thought there could be such thing as too much sex!
Jo - sorry, I can't answer your question - but i am interested in what prochieve is?
Miranda - my temps acted just like yours, but last month i had a higher jump in my temp after I Ov'd and this time it was just only about .5 degree difference- so I think I O'd friday or saturday, and CM seemed to confirm it too. Do you know if your temp should stay elevated if you're pg and drop if you're not?

So, how long is everybody going to wait before taking a test? I think I will wait until the 28, b/c that is our anniversary and it would be cool if i can give my husband a positive pg test for a gift!

Good luck everyone!

jo, I use clomid days 3-7 then estradiol 8-12 then i start prochieve today which is cycle day 17...i havent o'd yet but i had a pos. opk this morning so hopefully today is the day....
robyn, yes your temps stay elevated if you are preg. and drop if you arent and about to start af.....
Alyssa, are you feeling any better?

robyn, also i will be testing on cd 28. I have a dr. appt. for u/s that day...(sept 30).....good luck!!!

Hey girls, yes i'm feeling a lot better. I dont feel as sore down there. It felt like my ovaries were sore. I think I might have been really gassy/constipated (sorry for TMI!) Still have bad back pains though. A little sore in abdomen, but still to early.... wish me luck!!

Hi Ladies!
I'm a little upset this morning b/c my temps are not rising like they did last month, so I suspect that my thermometer is either not working or the battery is going bad. I'm so mad! Why didn't i just buy the name brand one instead of the cheap one. I tested it and it read a lower temps twice after i was up and active this morning.
Oh well, i guess i'll just have to wait and see how it goes...
