In the (never-ending) 2ww #4

This is my first time posting. i'm nervous as hell, but hope I'm in the presence of good and understanding company. I'm 23 years old and I've been TTC since this March I guess, but was only able to get my IUI w/ 50mg clomid done late August. That was the only drug I used. I'm officially 14 days past possible conception and go to get my blood test done tomarrow. However, today I took a first responce test (2 of em') both were negative. i tested later in the day after my first urine which from another board I was told was a no no. I wonder if this is completly accurate or not. It said 90 something percent so you think? Anyway i've felt moist "down there", but no period and today is when it's supposed to come... I think? I praying it doesn't. i know it's unrealistic to hope w/ the first time, but i can't help it.
PS: I have no history of infertility and my tubes were completly open via HSG.

Hi everyone,

I'm still pretty new to the community boards on BabyMed, but I'm glad there's a supportive group out there. According to my chart, I O'd three days ago, but I haven't seen a significant spike in my temp yet, so I'm hoping I'll see one tomorrow....trying not to stress, but it's so hard. It's all I think about! I look forward to chatting with everyone.

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is doing well today:) Any news on the ttc front? I have been off babymed for a couple of days....

Dre

Hey
I'm trying to post my chart from this cycle.
Have very sorry nipples these last few days. I'm thinking this is a clomid side effect.
Anyone else on Clomid have this symptom?

Just posting my chart from the last 2 days.

Congrats Heather!!!

Haley - I started a new post! :) But I SO hope Sept is your month!

HEATHER-- AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!! :) :) wahhhooooo!!!! :) Yay i'm so happy :)

hi everyone else!!

Jen- I'm having one of those days too blah.. but definetly feeling better since I just read about heather yay!

HEATHER !!!!! OMG!!! CONGRATULATIONS !!!I am soooo happy for you! That's 2 for August. Let's get 2 more ladies!!!

Not everyone is out yet!

Heather - Thank you for sharing! Since my cycle seems out of wack I have too noticed some very unusual things going on. I too am experiencing the heartburn/reflux way worse than normal...it's like I have a burning lump in my throat, cramping sometimes on one side not like AF cramps because mine as usually horibble, tired, light headedness and headaches off and on (course that could be related to the wreck) & sick to my stomach. Sigh Some of the girls think I may have O'd later on CD20 which would be fabulous cause we had fun the day before so maybe there's hope! LOL I had some interesting discharge today went I went to the bathroom and one of my co workers had the same thing happen to her so I am just waiting it out to see what happens. Thank you for the hope and I hope to join you soon!!!

Heather-CONGRATS!!!!!!! We definitly cant start a new thread now until we know what happens with the others that are testing!!!!

Today I am right along with the others that are having just a bad, sad, emotional day. It started last night for me and I am sure it has to do with being on Clomid, but I just got in the worst fight with my DH, I had reason to be upset with him, but I took it wayyyyy to extreme, I was irritated but so upset at the same time, worst feeling ever, then of course today he feels so bad and I still could not be nice to him. I just have been in a way bummed out mood today also, but I think it will all be ok. :-)

I just knew there would be a BFP soon!!!! YAY!!!

Heather - You are so welcome!! Keep us up to date on your numbers and I think we should keep the thread for good luck!! May I ask a tmi question? Have you had or did you have any discharge or what your symptoms were? I am having some but am really trying not to look too much into them so I don't get my hopes up. CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS!!!!!

Thanks Erin!

Heather--AWESOME...CONGRATS!!!!

Amanda--My DH hasn't had any testing in 10 years, but when he was married to psycho he had 3 SA which all came back sayin he had 0 sperm. So, the did a biopsy on his balls and there was sperm there...normal counts. They were confused of why they weren't coming out cause his tubes weren't clogged and they did some kind of test to see if his tubes were deformed or never formed and they were fine. So, they told him they didn't know why but that he would MOST LIKELY never have kids. That's why I always thought it was just God protecting him from HER....they only tried 8 months...yes, ladies, 8 and she flipped out on him....Anyway, we are going on month 19. She was older than him by 11 years...Sorry to hear about your situation!!! It very hard to just relax or give up and not do OPK or temp. Even in the midst of ALL our stories I feel that we will ALL get are lil' miracles!!!!!

AGAIN, HEATHER...YIPPEE!!!!

Heather - OMG!!! YAY!!! CONGRATS GIRL!!! Way to bring on the BFP's!!!!!! WHOHOOO!!!!!

I could sure you a fresh start!
I am thinking if AF comes tonight or tomorrow, that probably means I didn't O, or the 25mg of progesterone is not enough for me. I am feeling so crampy and awful right now.
Just want her to come so I can get started with the new meds.

I have pink-tinged CM this afternoon. Looks like AF may be making her entrance early! :-( That would explain the cramps yesterday and the headache today.
On to FEMARA!

Erin~ What a crazy story! Do you know what caused the docs to say DH could never have kids? I, on the other hand, have an opposite story. My DSS was conceived by DH and a [crazy - they're currently at custody mediation] baby-cougar woman 15 years older than him in a one-night stand. She was 41 at the time. Now why did she get PG in one night, and I've been trying for about 700? I can't even call her an ex, but she is on long-term disability pension for mental health issues. Anyways, it's totally unfair and I can't stand to look at her.
My mom keeps telling me to "relax and let it happen." We did that for a year - no charting, no specific timing. Just BDing when we wanted to, and it was great. We've spent 10 more months actually trying. I'm not feeling particularly *relaxed* at this point.
How do you all keep from going insane?

Mack - Thank you! It helps sort out some of the frustration when other people offer their insight to what might be going on :-)

Dannygirl - How cute!! We wanted a boxer for the longest time and then came across Peaches (Fawn colored Pit) and her situation was so heartbreaking and she came just after my DH lost his Mother at 46 unexpectedly so it really helped save him in a way. She truly is her Daddy's dog but she loves me too! My mom has a cat named Bella that we named. Love it! Yeah I soooooo want to hear back from Brooke just to see what they all 3 think and would love for her to be on the same page as Jenny for a BFP this month but know it's never a guarantee so I chalk it up as fun too! :-) Kinda grasping for straws myself!

Thanks Haley and Shannon....my fur babies as you call them.LOL ! They are boxers. Beau and Bella and they will be 1 yr old on 8/24.

Shannon I would definately call the doc to make an appointment. I can imagine how that can be frustrating. It's gonna work out for you soon !!!

Joleene....no YOU are my hero!! Having been to a RE in the past and trying it again. I don't know if I would have the strength to do it again after a bad experience. I will make sure to post when I leave my appt today.

Amanda - Hmmm maybe so I will definitely take a print out with me when I do go in so she can look at how up and down it is if need be. Thank you for looking :-) It's all so much to learn! LOL

Jenn - Yeah it's kind of been a weird cycle the last 2 months and I know for others too

Haley ~ Sorry about the hag showing up, I hate CD 1 too.

Cristy ~ Glad your temps went back up!!! Sorry about the BFN. I agree with the others, try for a blood test. When I got pg with DD, I couldn't get a positive HPT till I was a little over 2 months pregnant.

Mel ~ YAY, your temp went back up too!! Period poos do suck don't they?!

Shannon~I'm with Lisa on this - maybe you didn't O until CD20. It's still not a bad idea to have a chat with your doc though. It sounds like you've had a rough month!

Lisa - So by the looks of it you think I may have O'd on CD20? See I thought CD16 till my temps finally started showing an increase. I am still so new to the charting game that it's frustrating more when I am/haven't been regular with my cycles. We were in a wreck on the 1st of August so we both took off on the 3rd to get in to the Chiropractor etc but we enjoying some diddling (Mel love the term!) but I think my OPK was negative that day but had been positive all weekend so maybe I still have a slight chance....from your mouth to God's ears!!

I saw the whole Kourtney Kardashian post yesterday while I was getting a Pedi after they sat a cute preggo lady next to me (which I text my DH is was just my luck!) and then on our way home we stopped at Wendy's to get dinner which ended up getting refunded because it was just too difficult for them to take an order correctly that day and there's my DH's cousin with her friend who now thinks she's pregnant because she's a week late (and on the pill) and has been so sick...girls I swear sometimes do you not feel like what you are wanting gets constantly thrown in your face? I know it's not intentional but give us a break!!

Mel - I am still hopeful for you but I know what it's like to really know your body and I am like you....if I am not preggers then bring on AF so we can get to the next cycle!!
