Hello to everyone...once again it's been awhile since i've posted and islandfever keep your head up, i'l lbe p raying that everything turns out on the up and up....to everyone else sorry to hear that AF is still rearing her ugly head :)...i'm on CD 20-21 (i quit counting) and i'm having mild cramping in my back and sides....i've called the doc and they say that it's a normal side effect b/c my ovaries are swollen (whatever that means)....so i guess if AF doesn't come this month then i'll be back for another dose (150mg)...can anyone tell me about what day AF should come? I try and wait to test until day 28 but by then i think i'm 8 days past due for AF...i'm confused a lil...can someone help!?!?!?!?!? well ladies GL and keep trying!!!

Hey Ladies!!!!! I know...You all can't believe that its really me! LOL! I had to take a break for a while, I was just getting so down about everything and took the two weeks that I had before starting the provera again to do other things! Sorry I have been gone for sooo long! Islandfever... I am keeping you in my prayers hoping that all goes well for you! Hope all is well with everyone else! I am taking the last pill of provera in the morning and then its waiting for AF for me! I HATE THE WAITING GAME!!!!!!!! Talk to you girls later! Jess

Day 14.

Hi ladies what's new with everyone? anyone in the tww? i am 11dpo and feeling like af is coming, nothing new usual pms symptoms so i will bet my money she will be showing in a few days, the cramps are the usual dull cramps that signals af, not the sharp stabbing cramps that i had when i was pregnant so another month out for me, oh well got a doc's appoinment on the 5th of october hopefully we will move onto to fertility treatment because i don't think clomid alone will get me pregnant, i think i need some intervention!lol anyways hope everyone is well, talk to you all soon.

hey girls, how is everyone? LB don't give up hope yet, I know what you mean though sometimes you can just tell when AF is coming. If not this month then hopefully the doc can work something out for you------------Jess great to hear from you, hopefully the provera kicks in real soon. I'm glad you enjoyed your break, I think we all need that sometimes.----------Goodluck danaroach with the tww.---------------islandfever, do you have any new updates for us? Still thinking of you.-------------Lucky hows it going with you?-------------Lucy are you getting ready to do your shot? had any yuk s/e from the higher dose of clomid?------------Bev haven't heard from you in ages. I hope all is well and everything is going to plan.--------------Allison, how are you? Life tends to drag on a bit when we are ttc.------------Not much new happening with me, cd11 today and not much happening, thought I might O a bit later this cycle cause of the 3-7 instead of the 1-5. No O pains or anything yet, plenty of BD'ing. FF says I have been fertile the last couple of days but I'm still new to the temp thing and I have used OPK'S for the last 2 days and they haven't showed any surge yet, so I just think I'll keep BD and see what happens. Hopefully I will get my pressed in the post today and that will make things a little easier. Well I hope everyone had a great weekend and that the start of the week is a bright and cheery one for you all. Catch up again soon. Take care. Kylie

Hellooo Everyone; Hope you are all doing well. I miss hearing how all of you are doing. I have been away for a little bit, work and home are both crazy at the moment, but mostly I was so down about this ttc stuff. The disappointement is rough sometimes. I was going to try iui this month, we increased the dosage to 100, I was supposed to go for ultrasounds starting from day 8, have a trigger shot when they are mature and then the iui. But as my luck would have it I only had 1 follicle on the left ovary, and none on the right, So I skipped fri and sun., maybe today it will have grown some and the righties will have decided to grow. My left tube is block so there is no point going forward with the iui. Well enough about me. Kylie good luck, I have a terrible time with temps, I just am not text book. Island you are in my thoughts. sorry if I forgot anyone, I am at work and trying to squeeze this in.
Hope to hear from you all soon

hey everyone...Summerlover sorry to hear about the news, i'll be praying that everything turns out OK for you. As for me I'm in CD 24, so i've made my appt for another dose and i'm hoping that he'll say i can try IUI...well guys keep your heads up and keep hoping...GL

Hi danaroch, do you know alot about the success of iui? When I went to the dr.s I forgot alot of the questions I wanted to ask. One of the girls at work got pregnant 3x with iui, but mc, she eventually had ivf and just had twins.
My ultrasound is in 1 1/2 hrs. may things have changed. talk to you soon

Goodluck with the u/s Bev, it's great to hear from you again. Sorry you have been down in the dumps recently, ttc is such an emotional journey. It sucks that we can't tell our bodies what ovary we want to have follies on. I'm the same as you when I feel O pain on the left side I know that month will be a bust cause my left tube is blocked aswell. not sure what is happening this month yet, thought I had a few niggles this AM but I redcuced my dose form 150mg back to 50mg this month so I am assuming that the O pains wont be anywhere near as bad as they were last month. Still negative OPK'S but ferning on my saliva scope. Got my pressed delivered yesterday, so I'll use that and BD tonight, and for the next couple. A BIG HELLO to all the other ladies on here aswell, just a flying visit today, will catch up properly later. Take care. Kylie

Hi! CD18. Hope everyones dreams come true. My three year old is getting fanatical about a sibling. Anyone out there in the same boat?

He Everyone, hope you're all hanging in there Kylie I am glad that I am writing again, it really helps to talk to all of you. My u/s was a bust again yesterday, there has been no movement at all, even the follicle on the left side has not grown since we started the u/s. My dr wants me to go back tomorrow and then see what happens. Do you think the increase in the meds has caused me to ovulate really late, and the follicles are just starting and too small to see? I am so confused I don't understand why I ovulate just fine on the lower dose, but not with the increase RRRR!!!. Enough again about me I am sorry for going on and on. Let me know what you think of the preseed, I am going over to the states this weekend and might pick some up. Well the school bell just rang I am off to work with the little darlings. Hope to hear from all of you soon
thanks for being there

Hey Bev, sorry about the u/s. What days did you take the clomid this month?Hopefully it is just that you O'ed later than usual. I'm not sure if an increase in dosage would do that though, I would have thought more along the lines of changing cd when taking clomid. I know when I was on 5-9 my cycles were about 34-35 days, then when I went to cd1-5 they went to 31 days, so this month I'm on cd3-7 so who knows what length they will be. We tried the preseed last night, very slippery stuff, I suggest inserting it before DH comes to bed, they reckon anything up to 15mins before BD is ok, I found it a bit fiddly doing it in bed and it sort of killed the moment a bit, so next time I'll be all geared up in advance ( sorry if TMI ). I think it is well worth the investment though, we BD again this afternoon and DH commented that the stuff was still working lol. But I think anything is worth a try, and they say it is the same ph balance as the sperm and the cm, they reckon even using salive as a lubricant can reduce the life of the little swimmers. So I'm up for anything at the moment. Must fly and pick the kids up form school, take care and goodluck tomorrow with the u/s hopefully something has changed for the better. Kylie

Hi Everyone; hope you are all doing well.--Kylie I take clomid days 2-6, last month I was bang on schedule 28 days, but the month before I was 39-40 days. I spoke to the dr.'s office today and they told me to cancel the u/s this afternoon, but I'm not going to. What if it is just taking it's sweet time to grow? She suggested today that I should go on injectables next month.. I have never had trouble ovulating in the past until they put me on this. Thanks for the info on preseed, I hope it works for you. We could use some good news on this site.
Hope to hear from all of you soon

Hey Bev, how did today's u/s go? I hope there was some change for you. Strange how you never had a problem with O before the clomid. I guess some drugs react different in some people. Not much happening with me, FF has forecasted tomorrow as O day, I have been using the OPK'S and in the beginning there was no second line at all, but yesterday there was a really faint one and today it was darker, still not as dark as the control line yet but I think they are working. DH is working tonight and want be home till about 11pm, but I have prewarned him he is to wake me up as soon as he walks in the door, I need a deposit tonight lol, lucky he doesn't charge me for each deposit like the banks I'd go broke. Well fill us in when you get a chance and I'll check back in the morning, Goodnight all, and pleasant dreams. Kylie

My name is Allison and I am 35 1/2 years old. I am a sub. teacher. I did get good news this week, I am up for a perm. job at one of the schools here. I am CD 20 today. I have 4 kids and 4 m/c. My husband and I are trying for number two together ( three kids from previus marriage). Just thought that I would give a little info on myself.

Hey Everyone; Hope you are all doing well. Welcome Allison, glad you could join us. Kylie the u/s was pretty much the same, although the little follicle that was there did grow a little. I guess this month is a bust. I go back to the dr's a week tues. for my day 24 blood work. We are going to talk about injectables Ouch!!. Hope your family is well have a great weekend.
