Kellie - August 8

Hi guys! I am so glad that you two constantly check back because I always want to see how you are. My bbs are still sore but that's about all I am feeling. I felt kinda nauseous this morning but I think it's cause of my medicine for the Prolactin. Other than that, no real news to report. DH is gone for 2 ww so I am bummed. But I took the dogs to the beach today and have been trying to relax and every once in a while take some deep breaths to calm myself. I am going to look into Yoga this week and try and exercise more often. I guess we all have about a week left! I have 7 days or so. Keep checking back and we all should find out soon together. Good luck ladies!

Hi Kellie glad the beach was good. I spent the weekend by the pool here and found out quickly my dog can't swim (she fell in the pool and sunk like a rock) hope yours did better by the water. Hopefully everything you're feeling is a good sign it sure can be. I'm not feeling anything. I don't know if that's good or bad but I'm trying not to think about it too much. Yoga sounds like a good idea, my husband thinks I need it! He's probably right. Keep us posted

I am taking yoga tomorrow night and I bet when I wake up the next morning I will be so sore! I have a rat terrier and a Jack Russell Terrier and they aren't too big on water. The JRT will get his feet wet but the Rat terrier freaks out! I took them again today and it was so beautiful. We live in California and the weather was so perfect today. I am not really feeling any symptoms at all except my bbs are still a little sore but that could just be nothing. Ahh...how long will this take! Oh well, one day at a time... Talk to you soon!

Hi Kellie and Beth! Well I've been feeling pretty good the last couple of days. Mostly just real tired. I think it may be the projesterone making me tired. One other interesting symptom, I normally have sore bbs by now, but the only thing that is sore are the nips. So that's kind of strange! I am 12 dpo, and officially 14 days after taking the hcg shot, so I should be past the point of getting a false positive. I am going to test this afternoon, I think. Beth, yes, I believe my EWCM was not as plentiful this time with the clomid. I will definitely try IUI next time if this doesn't work this month. Kellie, I LOVE yoga!!! Used to take it every friday before they moved the time up. They will be moving it back at the end of this month, so I am looking forward to that! Have fun at your class, and breathe deep!!! -kelly

Hi guys, my bbs are still sore and it's driving me nuts. Also I take my BBT and after ovulation it jumps and my higher temps are usually 97-97.5 but today it was 98! I hear that some people have a second set of high temps when they are pg so maybe? I guess if it's high again tomorrow then we will know a little more.I think I still have 5 days to NO AF but I want to wait it out and see if I am late first. My DH won't be home until the 17th and I want him to be with me when I test, assuming AF hasn't arrived. Anyways we will all know within a matter of days! Hang in there ladies. I will let you know how Yoga went, my first time ever!

KellyN can't wait to hear the results. I had the same thing with the sore nipples the last couple of months but it's hard for me to know what's "normal" since I really didn't have a cycle till clomid/Femara. Kellie you're right about the second jump in temps when you're PG when I was pregnant the first time my BBT went up to 99.7! I'm usually around 97.4 or so mine's been all over the place this month with the cold and the hot weather in NY this year. I'm trying to hold out until the 17th also to test. It's easier to do this month because the hcg injection was on the 1st so I really can't test to early or I'll just get a false positive. So far no symptoms at all...Just a few more days of waiting. Enjoy the yoga!

Well, my hpt was bfn, but its still early. Beth, my temps have been all over the place this time too. My temp jumped way over my normal cover line (97.8) to 98.1 while I was taking the clomid. My temp went down one point today from 98.7 to 98.6. Hopefully it will not go down again! If af is coming I would expect it to start going down tomorrow. Last night immediately after pilates class I had some wierd sharp cramping in my lower abdominal area. I hope it was okay to do pilates last night (if I am pg). Everyone I've talked to says its fine to do pilates and yoga while pregnant, so I never though it might be a risk until I felt these wierd pains. Hoping for the best!! -kelly

 

Beth - August 10

KellyN it's still could be early for a HPT to be positive. I think pilates should be fine, my next door neighbor is 3 months along and she's been running 4 miles a day every day since she started trying to get pregnant. That's gotta put more strain on you than pilates. I'm at the point this month that I don't even want to take a HPT. It's been 10 months since I started trying and I'm tired of the disappointment of the BFN's I'm just going to wait and see if AF show's up and if not maybe next Friday I'll use one. Baby Dust to all!

 

Kellie - August 10

KellyN maybe it was implantation! I know that your temp can drop when it happens and you get cramping. Maybe it's your month...
I am trying to hang in there. I miss DH so much, one more week until he's home. My bbs are still sore but I don't know what the deal with that is. My temp went sort of back to normal range, 97.6 so I don't know. Yoga was great, hard though! The breathing was amazing though and I have been trying to stop during the day and just take some deep long breaths to relax. Hopefully if not this month, next month will be my month if I can better manage my stress. Let us know what's going on KellyN! I am hoping that you are pg. And me and Beth! It would be great for all 3 of us! We have been trying since October though most of that I was not ovulating. So I have been waiting so long! My BF got pg the same month I started trying and had the baby last week. So I am so happy for her, but I could have had one by now too ya know. Anyways stay positive!! I will talk to you ladies soon. If either of you ever just want to keep in touch through email for support, my email address is [email protected]
Talk to you soon!

Kellie, I know what you mean about people who get pg so easily. Sometimes it seems like the world is pg! I also know how you feel witout your dh there. Mine works out of town almost every week (luckily not this week!!), and its a real bore to be home alone. Beth, thanks for your story about your friend who runs. You are probably right. I'm probably just worrying for nothing. Well, I took a hpt tonight and maybe I saw a faint line, but not in the 10 minutes, so bfn again. Will try again tomorrow. Been feeling little twinges in my abs, and some also in the ovaries area. Either of you guys getting crampy? Kellie I'll send you a private email now from "kellyutana" so you will have my email too! -kelly

 

Beth - August 11

Kellie I know what you mean about friends having babies. My good friend and I took HPT's together last November (both of us got +'s right away) we had the same due date July 24th...She had her baby 3 weeks ago it was SO HARD but I keep thinking that the little life I lost might have just saved mine. I wouldn't have known I had the clotting disorder if I hadn't m/c'ed and who know's what kind of complications could have come about without the meds I'm on now for it. I guess you hang on to anything when you have too. Oh enough about that, guess I'm feeling a bit down today.
Sorry you're dh's are out of town so much I can't imagine what it would be like to go through this without them. KellyN I remember specifically feeling crampy about 3 days before AF was due when I did get pregnant last year so maybe feeling that way is a good sign. So far no cramping for me, no sore bbs, no spotting...basically feeling totally normal. Still have a ways to go yet before AF's due so we'll see what the next few days bring. Keep us posted

 

KellyN - August 11

Well, my temps dropped way down this morning, and I started pre-af spotting. Looks like its going to be at least one more month for me. Hoping for bfps for you guys though. It would give me such hope if I heard one of you got a bfp! Baby dust to you!! -kelly

 

Beth - August 11

KellyN sorry to hear about the pre-AF spotting and temp drop but I have a feeling that I'll be right there with you next month trying again. I'm trying to stay hopeful but I just don't feel like I'm PG this month. My luck it will be next month which would put me due about 2 days before my BF's wedding that's out of town...
Kellie we're hoping for a BFP for you!

 

Kellie - August 11

Hi guys! Well temps dropped lower today so that's not good. I am thinking this isn't my month. As far as my sore bbs I read on my prescription for my Prolactin that it also stops the production of breast milk so I wonder if that's why they always seem to be sore. Who knows. Technically this is only month # 2 that I have ovulated so I still have hope. AF hasn't arrived yet so it's not over until its over. At least the 3 of us are together on all this! We each will get pregnant soon!

 

Beth - August 11

Kellie I was for good news from you but there's still time. You have such a great outlook I need to remember you're line of thinking. I keep getting down that we've been trying since November but you're right I've only ovulated 3 times (once was this month). It takes plenty of perfectly fertile people 6 months or more to get pregnant. I went to lunch today with my friend that had her baby 3 weeks ago. It was SO GOOD to hold the baby and wasn't nearly as hard as it was seeing her in the hospital. Maybe I'm starting to finally believe I'll be a mom someday SOON, we all will be in our own time. I'll keep you posted Tuesday is coming SO SLOW!

 

KellyN - August 11

Hi ladies! Well I just got home and for the heck of it I decided to take my temp. Usually its around 98.3 for day time after af starts. It was 99.5!!! I usually spot two days before af, and I am spotting today and af should arrive on Saturday, so I don't have high hopes that my temp will go back up, but you never know. Like you say Beth, you have to believe it will happen. I've been ttc for a little over a year now, but I've got to believe my day will come! I'm so glad I found you guys!!! -kelly
