Today is cd 13 for me. Opk's have been neg so far so I think I will O around cd 15,16, or 17. I'm going to start BDing tonight everyday just to be sure though. I have been having hot flashes but none of the crazy side effects I was having when actually taking clomid. I'm really hoping something happens this month b/c I'm taking a break from clomid next month. I need atleast a month off from the side effects. Everyone seems to have been busy lately and postings have been sparse. I hope to hear from everyone though I still look forward to speaking with you all. Well lots of babydust to everyone. ↓

Hello ladies than you all so much!! yes it has been along journey for me!! Me and Dh have been trying to conceive for 3 years. First we did clomid for 6 months and then one day why I was being monitoredthey notice that I had a hydrosalpinx in my right tube (fluid in tubes) So I had to have larposcopy surgery and they removed my right tube and had to open up my left tube so now I have one tube left I was so devestated but the fluid can kill kill the embyro so it was better out. Ther doctor said the best way for me was to conceive was to go through IVF so that is what we did in June. On july 2 I had ER and July 5 I had ET. The retrived 8 eggs all fertilize with ICSI and 2 were transferred back in 8cell i do not know the grade.On July14 I started to recive positive hpt!!
On July 18 I recived my first beta and it was 446 we are pregnant !!
I went this morning to go and have my second beta so pray that these numbers have doubled!! I am praying so hard God is so good and I am sendy Babydust to all of you ladies you all time is coming . I will be back shortly to update you all!! ↑

donnams83 - Hi and thanks for starting a new thread even though I posted on the Jun/Jul. Well me and you are 4 days apart I am cd 17 and I got my BFP on the opk on cd 14-16 I hope I didn't miss my time because I bd on cd 6, 9-13,16. Today I have to start taking the progesterone gel at bed time will keep you posted on that. My temp are starting to go up cd 14 97.97, cd 15 97.80, cd 16 97.93 and today 98.62. I think if I don't get a bfp this cycle I am going to take a break and not do anything no taking my temp, using opk, taking baby asprin/prenat vit/ robintussin/ clomid/ estrodoil. I am just going to go cold turkey. Keeping my fingers for you.
london - this is wonderful news I am so happy for you. Do you have to have anymore beta's done?
Kimmer23 - Thanks for the update, I'm here just trying to stay positive, I did get my bfp opk test on cd 14 I didn't bd cd 14 or 15 but I did bd on cd 6, 9-13 and 16. my temps have been going up cd 14 it was 97.97, cd 15 it was 97.80, cd 16 97.93 and today it is 98.62 does this means anything also today at bed time I start the progesterone gel. Also I got bfp on the opk test cd 14-16 and today it was a NEG so I don't have to use them anymore for this cycle isn't this correct? ↑

Hi ladies! **London** Two would be wonderful! How exciting! Let us know once you know... August 4th isn't too far away! **Fatz**I'm a little confused by all the terms you're using (sorry! :-) ). Can you break it down for me so I can understand what you are doing right now? **Kimmers**Glad to hear things are going well! **Donna**Thanks for the new thread! I am off clomid this month too and experiencing hot flashes, too, but it just might be b/c my air conditioning is wacky. **Krissy** I think you're good to go dear. Your temp jumped up b/c you ovulated, so that's good thing. It should be negative eventually after your surge.... I wouldn't worry-- I think you're good to go. **As for me ladies, I have no idea. I got a + OPK cd 6....now cd 17 and (as of yesterday) still BFN on OPK. Also yesterday I had like blood, only when I wiped and just a little bit, but still there. I don't know if I ovulated cd 6, if I am about to ovulate now, if af is on her way even though it's cd 17 and my cycles are usually 30 days. I have absolutely no idea. My dr was supposed to call me and still hasn't. How frustrating. I guess I'm just hanging out right now:-). Anyway ladies, just wanted to jump on and say hi! Have a great day! ↑

Hoping i am on injectibles to make me produce enough eggs n to make me not ovulate so the eggs can be retrieved for ivf n Ivf with icsi. I am currently on 2injections a night. Then i have a blood test on thursday to see how the injections are reacting to my body. So all these are injectibles to stimulate my ovaries to produce eggs.. Mayb u have ovultd then. So thats y u getting negative opks. ↑

Fatz - I am doing okay just nervous. I really can't explain how I am feeling. According to FF I ovulated on cd 15 I got a bfp on the opk on cd 14-16 and today I am 3dpo so I am in the 2ww and I'm a nervous wreck. I want this so bad because I have already gave myself until the new year then I'm going to stop I am already 40. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and I hope this work for you do you have to take your meds at the same time every day? After you take all your meds what is the next step. Keep us posted.
Hoping1 - Thanks for the words of encouragement. I am now 3dpo and just trying not to break down. Have your doctor called you yet? I hate that when you are waiting and waitng on a call. Hang in there we are a day apart I am cd 18. Krissy68 ↑

Hello ladies! Today is cd 15. I haven't had a positive opk's yet but I have ewcm on cd 13. I seem to always have this 3-4days before I O. (weird I know but true). I haven't tested yet today so we'll see. I have had a huge temp. I went from 97.7 to 96.8 in three days which is unusual for me. HAS anyone else had this just before they O. On another not DH is started to get more excited instead of anxious about trying. He talks about when we get pregnant all the time now where as before he didn't want to talk about b/c its been frustrating. I think he has reaffirmed his belief that it will happen which makes me alot less stressed.**Hoping1** I am on 100mg clomid this month but next month I will take a break. I'm sorry to hear that you are having so many unusual symptoms and confusing things. let us know what your dr. says. I would say it is your system getting off clomid. From what I read its still in your system the month following you ending it. I wish you luck girl and I'm praying for you. **london** I hope you have twins on the way. Do they run in your family?**Fatz** When do they they will be able to retrieve your eggs and how long after that do they actually put them in.**Krissy** Don't sweat it girl I don't think you missed O sounds like you O'd right around when you were Bding. **Kimmer** how exciting to hear the heartbeat. I can't wait for that experience. I can't believe its been 14 weeks already. **Schar** How are you? When is your next appt? Well lots og sticky stuff and babydust to all. ↑

sorry for the screwed up typing in my last post I just reread it. I'm sure you get the point though ↑
hi girls how are you all? sorry i posted on the last tread, so here we go again! currently cd 21, not sure if i have o'd or not, i didn't know because i had one that was almost + on cd 13, but i think my urine was to diluted to tell if it was or not, since then i had a lot of almost +, i did have some o pain on thursday cd 15, so here is the summary, we bd on cd's 12, 14, 16, 19 and 20, according to askdramy website i should have o'd on cd 15 or 16, do you all think i have a chance at all? because what confuses me is last month i had + opk on cd 21, and af started on cd 31, is that normal, my lutheal phase is normaly 14 days, do you gals know ? yesterday when i did my opk testing, my hubby came to me and saw the 2 lines and asked me if it was good news! he thought i was pregnant! i was so dissapointed to tell him that it was a - opk, it looks like he really want it now to! next week on thursday is our 5th wedding aniversary, i would love to show him a + hpt that day, it would make our day, anyway london, CONGRATS GIRL! i really hope that you will have your twins in there! and kimmer to! i am so happy for all of you best of luck and please pray for me to ! i really hope again i will get that bfp this month, so i would be due the same month as my ds is born, on 27th of april, i would be due somewhere in april, anyway good night girls ↑

donnams83 - Thank you for the words of encouragement. I'm on cd 20 and 5dpo no new changes with me except I am real real tired. I'm thinking it is the s/e from the prog gel. I can test in exactly 1 week and I am a nervous wreck even though I want to test sooner like this sunday I will be 8dpo but I am not going to to do or at least that is what I'm telling myself now. LOL. How are you doing?
esmeraldausiahon - Keeping in my prayers and my fingers are cross for you this cycle I hope you get you bfp next week. When is AF due?
KAZ - Welcome to the group again. Good Luck on your first round of clomid you will do just fine just keep thinking positive.
PL - Thanks for giving us an update. Just think in about 15 weeks you will be meeting your little one. Rub your belly for me. Krissy68 ↑
hi ladies, well i am now sure that i did have ovulated last week, it's cd 22, opk - again, so maybe i did ovulate last week, on thursday i did have o pain, so maybe then i did o, that is the only explanation for the - opk's af is due next week on friday, or around the weekend, so will keep you gals updated! good night all ↑
Name: KAZ | Date: Jul 24th, 2008 9:34 PM
Hi krissy thanks for welcoming me - as to when AF is due i have no idea... my cycles can range from 24 - 40 days. at the moment it is CD35 so hopefully soon! and no its not late because im pregnant unfortunately i've already done two HPTs which were neg. i will be waiting with fingers crossed for you and #esmeraldausiahon# to test tho :)
How many cycles of clomid have you ladies done? maybe i shouldn't get too excited - but i just cant help it -i'm happy to be finally doing something that might help me get a BFP :) ↑

Hello! Today is cd 16. I had an almost pos opk yesterday and a pos opk today. My bbt is indicating that I am O'ing now though. Tomorrow's temp will let me know more. We missed BDing last night since DH didn't feel well. I only hope that doesn't hurt us this month. I have been using preseed and I hope that helps. If nothing happens this go round then DH is scheduled for his consultation at the urologist for his SA on Aug 4th. Anyone else know how long it takes to get the results of an SA? **Hoping** Been worried about you girl, how are you? **Mama4** We miss you. **Schar** When is your next appt? **KAZ** its good to have you back. I hope AF comes soon. This is my third round of clomid. I was on 50mg the first and second and now am on 100mg. If we're not successful this month then I'm taking a break next month. **Esmer** Sometimes an almost pos can indicate a pos. So even if you did O it sounds like you BDed on the right days. **London** Haven't heard from you, do twins run in your family? **Teddy** How are you, we miss you too.**Fatz** How are you? Tomorrow I am leaving for the weekend and I don't know if I will be able to post or not! Babydust to all. ↑
Name: KAZ | Date: Jul 25th, 2008 1:28 AM
Hi Donna good luck for the weekend! i hope something happens for you!!! i bought preseed on ebay too and it arrived yesterday (its not sold in australia) it cost be $16 and i only got 3 tubes tho so i will use it when i'm ovulating only. i asked my natrupath and she suggested egg whites or aloe vera... has anyone heard of this????
How is everyone else going? what cycle days are you all at? ↑

Hi ladies! I am sorry I have been MIA lately. I am switching jobs, we're buying a new house, my parents are coming downt his weekend...lots going on! The good news is we went to DH's urologist appt this morning.... the DR said his volume was low about 6.5, but everything else (%age swimmers, etc) was very good... so they took some blood and we'll know next week whether DH goes on boy clomid or what... I"m just glad to know we're doing something! **Fatz** I know your DH has low sc, too, now that I know all the lingo, tell me again of his #s, etc and how he is reacting to boy clomid.... and How are you and the treatments going? Are you back to counting days, etc? Or is it pretty monitored by the drs? **Kaz**welcome!! ARe you officially on clomid now? What cds are you taking? **Donna** You are practically repeating my life story... I did clomid 50, then a few rounds of 100, now I'm on a break. We got the results from DHS sperm test pretty quick, within like 2-3 days. I'm telling you,t hat is the best thing we did. It may still be me, too, but at least we can start to do something about this all.... I woudln't worry too much about missing a night of BDing, sometimes it's good to skip a night and let thigns build up again. **Gl to all you ovulating girlies out there! Happy Friday! ↑

KAZ - You are welcome. I did 2 cycles of u/p clomid and now this is my 2nd cycle of p/clomid. Hang in there. Keep us posted.
donnams83 - Have a great weekend.
Hoping1 - That's good news about your dh and your new job and house.
FATZ - Thanks for checking in on me. How are you handling your meds. Keeping my fingers cross that everything work out this first cycle. How many eggs are you going to put back? Well here is my updated. I am cd 21 and 6dpo and yesterday once I got home from my day job I was just starting to feel real sick to my stomach and I started throwing up (sorry tmi) well I said I am going to lay down before I have to go to my night job well when they woke me up I was sick all over again my head was spinning so I called off and I did my progestroen gel and got back in the bed. I wasn't feeling too good this morning I just wasn't throwing up but my stomach is real quessy so I broke down and took a test and of course it was a BFN. I am okay with the results cause I am way too early. I promise I will not test again until cd 27 & 28 like I am suppose too. Have a great weekend. Krissy68 ↑

Good afternoon ladies!
HOPING no i haven't taken a pill yet... my prescription is filled and i'm all ready to start - just waiting on AF... today is CD36 but my cycles can last up to 40 days anyway so i'm just waiting.... waiting... I will be taking 100mg day 3-7. My doc said that if the side effects are bad to cut down to 50mg for the last 3 days. I have my pre-seed, my Nyal (guafinnessin) and asprin all ready for me to start. I have also been taking elevit and evening primrose oil for the last 6 months so hopefully this will be the month. Hope you all have a good weekend :) ↑

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. It seems I did manage to find an internet connection at the lake house. Today I am 1 dpo . So I am officially in the 2ww. I've been taking mucinex and wondering should I start baby aspirin? Thoughts on this? **Hoping** Good to hear from you girl. It sounds like things are looking good. I'm glad you feel at ease. **KAZ** I'm still crossing my fingers that AF comes for you soon. **Fatz** Let us know if you go for the scan to see how many follicles you have. Have you thought about how many embyros you would like to implant. **Krissy** I know how you feel I used to test so early and it would always get to me. I really try to wait now though but TRY is the key word there. **CJ and Esmer** how are you? Well I'm off to the dock babydust and sticky stuff to all. ↑

hi ladies! Just if anyone was interested or wanted to know more about evening primrose oil promoting healthy CM i started a new forum under general pregancy questions with all the info attached. Its alot of info so that is why i haven't posted it on here. ↑
hi all how are all of you, kaz i hope that af will show her ugle head soon! krissie, i know how you feel, i was sick to yesterday, also vomitting, i couldn't even keep my cuppa coffee down! so that is when i tested, but i know it is still way to early, but you know what, i hope it isn't like last month, but i did have a very very very light bfp again, tomorrow when i will bring ds to daycare i will get some first response tests, and retest, af is due around the weekend, so still have some days to get a fat one! i have no clue when i supposed to have ovulated, so keeping my fingers crossed! fatz best of luck with your ultrasound, how many embryo's are going to be put back in if you don't mind me asking? best of luck to you and everyone else, please pray for me to, as i really really need this bfp to become a fat one, take care gals ↑
