Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey lew...yep 25-but always said that I wasnt ever getting married nor having any children!!! Boy was I wrong!!!! Now I love being a mother and wife!!!!! My hubby is 17 years older than me though..so his time is ticking as far as being a daddy for the 2nd time!!!! He doesnt want to be 65 when the children are getting out of high school!!! Which is funny cause my dad is 46!!! So its very confusing when people see my dad me and my hubby out in public....they try to figure out which one is my hubby!!!! Anyway I hope that I am pregnant but I just dont know...today I have mild cramping in the middle though..not to one side like yesterday...My body is doing something though...thats for sure!!! My dh was asking me yesterday...so do you feel pregnant yet? when are you going to test..I want to know now! I told him..you have to let the egg travel and implant in uterus first...that it takes time. He said oh yeah yeah, well it needs to hurry up! lol Anyway, I have decided to test friday morning...so 3 days to wait until first test!!!! If I dont get pregnant this time I dont know if I will take clomid 50mg or 100 mg...but I might just change days I take it to 2-6. Gotta go, ttyl :)

I meant and change days from 3-7 to 2-6. oops!

Wow Lynn! I had two boyfriends in my past where one was 15 years older than me and the other was 12 years older...and funny, I married a younger man (3 years younger) LOL. I always dated older men but the most was 15 and 12 years older. We had so much in common but every now and then there would be some "age" related differneces...like, my boyfriend could remember being in school when Pres. Kennedy was shot, and I wasn't even born yet (LOL) and some things with music or t.v. shows...but the most important stuff we had in common. I NEVER in a million years would have thought I would marry a younger man, but I did! So we can relate to the "time ticking" thing that is for sure. Well, I didn't get my clomid today:( :( :( :( I will have to see about tomorrow. I still am not very heavy on my flow today, but that could be that I am just going to have a light period due to bleeding in mid cycle. So, again, I will only do the clomid this week if it comes by thursday or Friday. If it's Friday, then I will take it right away. If it's Thursday, then I will take it at night to sleep through most of the common side effects. Oh I sure hope you get a bfp on friday. But that is quite early and so it might and then it might not show up that soon. Best of luck to ya and can't wait until friday for you and for my clomid to show up!! Lots of baby dust to us both!!!!

Well I just reminded myself of something...lol, Friday is not only my B-Day, but it's Veteran's day! So that counts the mail out for friday! This has always been an issue with my bday! I would always get birthday cards in the mail late due to the post office being closed on Veteran's day and ugh! All I want for my birthday is for the d__n clomid! Is that too much to ask...LOL I sure hope it comes early, but with my past issues with mail and my birthday... it wouldn't surprise me if it was late, ugh! I just called the post office and they said that mail from Mexico is usually 7 to 10 business days. So if I calculate it right, then Thursday would be business day 8 since the charge hit my bank...so cross your fingers and say a little prayer for me. I will have a very happy b-day if that is the case!

you are funny about wanting the clomid....it reminds me of the song...all I want for christmas is my two front teeth, except its..all i want for birthday is my clomid!!! I know that friday is early...but I just cant wait past that....if its negative then i will test on sunday..every two days while temp stays up..my temp was up again today...so good sign..of course its early soooo wait and see...I suppose this is going to teach me patience(lol)

Ha ha, that is cute...All I want for B-day is my clomid here...my clomid here... my clomid here....LOL such a jingle. Hey maybe you will get a bfp (at least a faint pos) for my birthday! That would be great too! ttys.

OOPs! I put your name in the "name" section and meant to put mine there, and then your's in the Answer area....oops!

Good morning...temp alittle higher today..98.0 but now my charts (i am doing two of them) say that I ovulated 3 days after lh surge...so cd16 not cd13...we bd 12th 13th 14th 15th..but not 16th...so if its right i was off!!! But I dont think I was off. I had to many signs! But I guess we will wait and see. Last month had 12 day luteal phase so if i am only 3 dpo I have 9 to wait...if I am 6po like I think then I have 6 days to wait until af arrives. so I might hold off on taking pregnancy test...I dont know what to do. I am confused!!!

Lyn, just to give you some hope, all though I do not agree with your methods, you really should bd the five days prior to ovulation, not on ovulation day. if you bd on the day of the temp rise it is already to late. In fact your best chance is to bd three days prior to ovulation. and it is not good to bd everyday as that can depleat the sperm supply. the best thing to do is prior to your fertile time make sure that dh ejaculates every 72 hours, to keep the guys healthy and when you are seeing a fertility dr he advices you to refrain from s_x for three days prior to any fertility treatments, i.e. artificial insimination and ivf as this will ensure that you have lots and lots of healthy active sperm. bding every day depleats the serm supply and you do not have enougth time to build it back up in 24 hours, every other day is better for you and your chances of becomming pg. also just a note of advice, as clomid can cause over stimulated ovariers. If by chance you do not get pg this cycle, skip next cycle with the clomid and try again the next month. To give your ovariers a break and a chance to heal from the over stimulation. The pain you have described makes me think that you may have some and seeing how you are not being monitored you really have no idea if you do or not. So be careful

Hi there Lynn, I would just say to save a pg test and hold off to test. You can't go backwards, and if you are not sure of the O day, then I would wait and just save a pg test. I know it's so hard for us to be patient. For me, waiting for the clomid has made me settle down a bit and not get so antsy. I have a lot of other stuff in my daily life to keep me busy and I don't want to see this stuff consume me to where I neglect my kids and husband and house. I am trying to keep my mind off of things by doing house work and little projects that I have for Christmas gifts, and such. Keep yourself busy and don't stress about it. Keep day dreaming of the possibilities... but don't let them consume you. This is just my take on it. I also think tht you did well with your bd times. I know that when I got pg with my daughter, we just did it every night for a month. But my dh doesn't have any probs with sperm count and so maybe that worked for us no problem. I am going to take the advice posted by "fertility expert" about having dh ejaculate every 72 hrs before our attempts to make a baby. I was thinking on the same line of wanting to have fresh, healthy, and strong sperm when ttc this month. I think that with you and your dh bd every night, you will have that as well...maybe not as many count as 72 hrs, but if pg has not been a problem for either of you in the past, then I think that it will be ok. Best of luck and lots of baby dust your way!

fertility expert-- thank you for your information you have pa__sed onto us. I thank you for the way you addressed Lynn and even though you do not agree with the method we are using, I thought it was so generous of you to share your knowledge on ttc with us. Thank you and Best wishes to you and yours!

Hi lew! I am going to wait...would rather wait then to take one to soon. Anyway, fertility expert...Thank you for your information...I will try every other day for bding!!! That I know of my hubby doesnt have any problems with sperm count..got pregnant twice from him...but really dont know til get it a___lyzed! Anyway, VERY THIRSTY today, and during the night last night. I got up in the middle of the night and drank 16 oz of water which is weird for me cause I hate drinking water..much rather have juice or diet coke. But oh well the water is tasting good(weird) anyway, no cramping today, guess I will talk to ya later!!

Hi there Lynn, I didn't get the clomid today either! It was shipped on the 1st and I was told today that it should be here within 7-12 business days...well I hope it is the 8th business day for me( that would be tomorrow). But if not, then I just have to wait another cycle. I am trying not to be too bumbed out about not getting it today:( Have a good night and I will talk to you later....AND drink that water!!! Water is the best thing for your body!!! Are you still taking a baby asprin a day?

yep still taking one aspirin and one 800 mcg folic acid!!!! I hope your meds get here tomorrow to...if not then you have to think that its for a reason and maybe next month is your month!!!! If af comes for me then I can count back and see who is right on my ovulation date.....charting or lh opks? Would be interesting to find out I think. Anyway, tired going to bed. Goodnight!

Good morning...temps way up today 98.7..which is 1.5 degrees higher that ovulation date. (that i think) And its higher than it ever reached last month. I have thrown myself into my work the last couple of days so that I wont have time to think about the 2 ww. I have to say, my boss is impressed!!! Anyway, ttyl :)

Good morning Lynn! Hey that is great about your temps and progress. the 2ww stinks...any waiting is hard. I have a question regarding my cycle days. I spotted very light on Mon (taking my last bcp), then spotting a little heavier on Tues, then light flow on Wed and today it's regular flow. What day could I count as cd1?? Maybe I could take the clomid as late as Saturday with no problem? What do you think?
