Hi everyone:) this is my first post I have been reading up on the boards and decided it was time to join!I have 2 boys Avery 12yrs from a previous relationship and Justin 3yrs with my DH. we have been trying for another since Christmas last year! in May 06 I got AF then I skipped 2 months thought I was PG but negative tests both home and doctors even had a pelvic U/S and everything looked fine finally got AF 8/4/06 but then again next time was late another 3 weeks but not PG. I called my doctor again and explained I really didn't want to wait another 2 months to see if I would get it on time so he prescrimed me Clomid for days 3-7. I am on my second cycle of it now. no luck with the first cycle but I actually got AF right when I was supposed to so I was happy about that because I feel like I really have a shot this month now!! I'm sorry this is so long I just wanted to explain my story:) I posted in here with the Twins / multiples because this is where I saw most posts about Clomid. I hope thats okay. I haven't had to many ill side effects from it some hot flashes but nothing major. My DH is a little nervous about the chance of having twins but I told him it was just a slight chance. It doesn't matter to me either way I just want to have a healthy Baby one or otherwise!! Hope this wasn't to long for everyone and will talk to yas soon!!!

Hello alynn, Good luck with your TTC. I know it can be an anxious time. I never took CLomid, but I'm expecting twins, so they happen sometimes Just because. Hope everything goes well! Best wishes!

alynn - There is a website that you can go to called (http://www.tryingtoconceive.net/hfhworks.htm) It's by a lady called Momma Kath and there are many women who have conceived by using her herbs. It is all natural herbs but it is all really positive. Good Luck and hope you get a BFP soon! Baby Dust to you!!!!

HI, clomid, round 1 CD 1-5 100mg...hopefully it'll happen soon. CD 7 currently, and having some "twinges" in my tummy on both sides. So I hope that means it's working! How bout you, do you feel something, did you O last month? are you using OPK's or BBT or are they doing U/S every few days?

 

alynn - October 26

Hi Tenk:) I believe I did O last month because from taking the Clomid it made me actually get AF when I was supposed to so I'm taking that as a sign I did I just must of missed the right BD time ya know. I haven't used any OPK's yet and I am not good at the BBT stuff so I haven't done that. my doctor gave me the presciption for 3 cycles. He didn't say he wanted to monitor me with Ultrasounds or anything so I'm just kinda winging this by myself at this point. Thats why I have been reading up on the boards and seeing other peoples stories about Clomid, I was a little surprised by how many doctors do monitor women on it and mine doesn't but I guess he feels that since I have 2 children already that I needed a little extra help ovulating and getting regular. thats what I'm hoping anyway.... I already circled all the days me and the hubby will be doing the BD this month so I'm hoping we get the right time!! We'll see... I hope that you get a BFP real soon keep me posted!!!! Lots of baby dust to you:):):)

 

Tenk - October 26

Hi Alynn, I don't think it's really that big a deal that your not being monitored. I know tons of ppl that are put on it and not monitored as well. I think that using OPK's might be a good idea, if you can, just to be sure. I took them CD 1-5 (clomid) and now I'm drinking 2 tsp of Robitussin 2 times a day, and using OPK's and after O I will take a baby aspirin to help thicken my lining. I also have other children. DD7, DD5, DS3 and an Angel KAMRYN AVERY DD 03/11/06. She was born still at term from cord entanglement. So we have been trying again since then and I can't seem to get pregnant...all 4 other times if we said the word we got a baby, and now...well I'm on clomid. I also, am taking it with out a prescription. I have researched it tons, and DH and I thought it best. We want 2 more children, and if I had twins this time that would be it for us. Well I wish you the best in TTC...no one even responded to my first post...hehe

 

alynn - October 27

Hi Tenk, Thanks you for all your good ideas I will defanitely try them!! I am so sorry for your loss, Kamryn Avery her name is beautiful:) I'm sure you will get a BFP real soon!! I'm sending you lots of baby dust!!! it was the same way with me I never had a problem before but of course when your actually trying it never works!! Keep me posted on you okay!! and if I would have seen your first post I would have responded:):):)

 

Tenk - October 27

Hehehe, thanks. I would have liked that. Oh well were here now. I must say, when I see a thread that has gone on for months on end, and tons of women end up with a BFP I always thinks that special, the keeping in touch and being so long it takes an hour to read. I hope we can do that. I'm on the Ohio Ladies board too...in Problems getting PG...my DH is from OH. We're in NC now tho. Where are you? I would love to have twins as well as DH. So, here's to a great weekend for us both, and happy BD'ing...Oh I just realized that we are on the same CD as well...holy cow, let's both get BFP's this month, wouldn't that be crazy, I'll be thinking of you and your DH and getting a BFP soon!

 

alynn - October 27

hee hee that would be great if we did huh? our fertile days are coming up!!! I think twins would be nice too, my cousin has boy girl twins turning one in Decmeber they are the cutest!! My DH on the other hand would be teriffied!! hee hee but I know he would do just fine! I'm in PA about 1/2 hour away from Philly. if we happen to lose this thread we'll just start a new one and I'll find ya!! it is nice to see how much people support each other on this board and when they do get BFP together, its nice to share in the happiness with everyone:):) Lots of good BD'ing to you and I would love to keep in touch!!

 

Tenk - October 27

Ok, DS has something going on and DH is taking him to the ER as we speak...so I have to leave work in 30 mins to go home and meet the other 2 from the bus today...UGH. His eye is running, and he has a fever, and yesterday he laid around, and he cried all night and said his mouth was hurting. I thought he just wanted to sleep with me last night so I made him lay in his own bed...poor baby. So what do you propose will be your fertile days? I have no idea as mine have been wacked out for a while.

 

alynn - October 27

Aw the poor thing I hope he's okay:) my youngest has been complaining about his mouth hurting too lately I just figured it was more teeth coming in....who knows!! I'm not sure on the days so I'm just gonna do every other day starting tonight until like nov 14th hee hee I think that should about cover it ya think? hee hee my DH just laughed when I showed him the calander with all the days circled of when we would be BD'ing!! hey I just noticed that your DS is 3 too so is mine 10-1-03 something else in common!!

 

Tenk - October 27

Wow, they are ery close in age, only a few weeks difference. Oh, and since they are back from the ER, he has Pink Eye, and where he got this since he stays home and have someone come over to keep him is beyond me. ~~I told my DH that we had to BD every day he was home (he's a fireman in the Air Force and not home everyday) and if I get a + OPK then I'll be staying home for a few extra hours on the morning he comes home and I plan on being late for work. hehe. Ok, have a great weekend!!! Happy Bd'ing ;-) ~~~Teneal

 

alynn - October 30

Hi Teneal...sorry I'm just writing you back this weekend was crazy and work was even worse today!! how is your little one? Pink eye is the worst Justin had it a few times already too the drops are the worst trying to put them in his eyes, he hates it!! anyway hope your having fun BD'ing I told my DH the same thing if not everyday it had to be every other so hopefully we'll both get BFP this month! I'll be praying for you and throwing lots of baby dust your way!!! Amy~

 

Tenk - November 1

Hi Amy, I was wondering, since your doing the clomid thing this cycle...have you O'd yet? Do you have any idea of when you will or think you will?? Ok, and Kaleb is fine...thank you for asking. The drops we terrible at first, but he seems to be doing ok with them now, and it's only going to be a few more days that we have to put them in. Talk soon ~~~ Teneal
