I'm so sorry about AF!! :( But you’ve got he positive outlook & that’s hard to do at times – big up to you! No worries about the HSG test – I had one in May – I researched to death the procedure & was more hyped up that it would be excruciating, as there is no anesthesia… Don’t get me wrong, it was uncomfortable but not un-bearable! I just kept thinking about labor being much worse! Lol – I was really focusing on the baby at the end of this TTC mission. Helped a lot!! The entire procedure took about 20 minutes & I had mild spotting & cramping (similar to AF) for a day afterwards… The 3 cycle window of conception didn’t open for me after the HSG – but the results were normal / open with free spillage from both ends – KEEP YOUR HEAD UP & keep us posted! Cheers, Monica

Kristi, sorry you got AF, hang in there. The only thing I noticed was the day I ovulated I was sooo emotional. I got into a discussion with DH and started crying for no reason. He couldn't understand... he kept asking me "why are you crying" and I really didn't know! it might have been the clomid or just my hormones.I had to take provera to induce my period ( which is always really light, I practically spot the whole time). Then, I took the clomid days 3-7. BD'd every other days 9-18 ( O'd on day 16). I haven't been taking temps, my PCOS has really thrown everything off, so this is the first time I know I ovulated. Keeping my fingers crossed! Baby dust...

oh, i'm on 100mg of clomid. what is your dosage?

hey piya...any good news.

Stevie the same thing happened to me - I got really upset one evening and cried for like 4 hours! The problem was that it happened on the day I ovulated too and dh and I REALLY should have BD'd and did not because I was so emotional....i also O'd on day 16 too. so now of course i keep thinking if i would have just held it together long enough to bd maybe i would be pg now...LOL we bd'd every other day like we were supposed to which fell into we bd'd the day before O'ing then should have the day after O'ing but did not becuase of my emotional episode so bd'd the day after that....of course at the time i did not know we had missed our actual O'ing day becuase I knew later from my temps that I had O'd on day 16.... i did do OPK's but did it on day 17 & 18 which both came back ++ so who really knows. I just think next month we will be sure to BD on day 15-18 no matter if it is every day instead of every other day!!! still just some occasional light spotting today.... baby dust to all!!

Sorry Stevie, I am on 50mg right now. Go back to Dr 11/11 possibly will do HSG and I don't know if she will up my dosage then or not.

How is everyone else doing??

Kristi, thanks for sharing. They say it is actually better to do it before you O, so there is sperm waiting when the egg is realeased...? It is so difficult to predict. My DH and I did do it on the day I O'd, it actually converted my hysteria :) . Don't beat yourself up, it sounds like you're really doing everything right.

oops, i meant comforted not converted!

Ok guys, I took the test this morning... and now i am just more confused! There was a very faint line. I thought I was hallucinating so I showed my husband and he saw it too! I'm not sure though if there was some kind of error or if this is a positive...? I'm going to wait a couple of days and test again. Today is day 28, but really only 12dpo. What do ya'll think?

Stevie, looks promising! I keep reading that if there is any kind of line, no matter how faint, that it is usually a ++!!! Can't wait to hear what happens! AF came full force Sunday - with horrible cramps!! Oh well, will begin second round of clomid on Tuesday.... ;-) Anyone else have any news yet??? Baby Dust!

STEVIE!!... WOO-HOO!!! BFP?!!?!? Our first BFP on the thread - I'm w/ Kristi, I've heard the same - if there is any line - faint or full it's +++ Told you I was seeing the two lines!!! PLEASE PLEASE report back after you re-test! BABY DUST to you & ALL of us ladies TTC :)

My update – Well, 10/24 & no AF yet… I’ve been feeling off & on dull cramping. My breasts are swollen but not sore. I’m a D cup & they tend to get heavy & uncomfortable but not sore… The AF induced emotional feeling of “something being wrong but not being able to put your finger on it” has been coming & going…. I think I’m trying to talk myself into AF arriving. I guess I’m sick of my mind playing tricks on me every month into thinking I’m feel PG symptoms to only be visited by AF… So, I’m using the reverse psychology method in trying to not pay it any attention & just wait patiently for AF to come & have it NOT COME!! Lol – as you can see, it’s not working very well – lol, I am at the breaking point of the 2WW – I hate this part –where you’re only a day past AF as charted & every hour resisting the urge to rush to the store & pick up a PG test!! Although as you ladies know a PG teat is some times the quickest way to bring AF is she’s lingering – not sure how much of this I can take!! Ahh – well, here’s to NO AF for all the ladies in here! ****BABY DUST**** Cheers, Monica

Well, I did another test this morning... and same result! The line is faint but it is definitely there! I still don't fully believe it! I'm going in for a blood test to confirm. I pray that this is the real thing! Thanks so much for your encouragement. Baby dust to all!

Stevie, when do you go in for blood test?? Keep us posted!! Good luck!!
