hi iampg, i am not sure if i beleive that opk can give any accurate results, but i am sure you have a good explanation for using them. as for your question about my m/c in october, i was 8 weeks and 3 days long. and yes i had a D&C. af suppose to show up saturday. lets hope not :) you have a good night, and wish you the best.

hi, answering your question about meds, no i do nto take any meds. i conceived naturaly last time. but i have been doing accupuncture for almost 6 months now. take all of my prentatals. i really hope we get bfp together this month. if not, i am scheduled to do the HSG in CD3. my RE wants to make sure that my eggs are good and i have a good reserv. :) wish me luck

thank you for hanging in there with me. I did take part your advice. I used up an opk and it was definitely bolder in progression over last 3 days. According to the theory, when it matched the control line, you'll get your bfp. but guess what, i live sooooo close to a dollar tree - i bought 3 this afternoon picking up my 7yr old from school - but i'm afraid to test it on dllute urine...so i may wait a while - see if i can concentrate it. please tell me urpg.

Hi iampg, I will be checking in early in the morning to see your good news. I am not sure if I am going to test soon, I am so scared to test, my husband thinks I should wait until after my af due date which is tomorrow. Talking to you inspired me, thanks a lot for being my buddy in this journey. Please keep me posted. : ) : ) : )

 

iampg - January 20

still no af. according to todays bbt, fertility friend adjusts my possible ovulation date to CD25 now. which makes today 9dpo. bfn. maybe this is the unvanished twin i'm trying to implant? wow! what a ride. if get my af i'm taking a clomid break. please tell me uRpg!!!!

 

iampg - January 20

started spotting 3:50pm. i guess it's CD1 for me. (yeah, it might be implantation spotting yada yada) maybe ovusoft had it right. 13dpo. well, i think we've got the hang of it now. bd everyother day until you get a week past af due date. i guess i only need to post now with a bfp @ 35 days from now - that's @ Feb 24. i'm taking myself off clomid next cycle.

 

COL - January 20

Hello iampg, sorry about the spotting, hopefully next month. I noticed you talk about the clomid as if you are taking it on your own with out Dr Supervision, is this the case? I did not test today, I am so scared I thought leave it until maybe tomorrow or the day after. Although my period is regular, but still I am so scared, maybe the m/c I had in October changed that, and it’s not regular anymore. My dh too, he think we should wait it out. If it does not show up tomorrow, I might test in the evening. Wish me luck.

hi col, i'm hoping uRpg. as for the clomid - i was given a token Rx for 5 refills of clomid - i've used up 3. 1st cycle we did it the docs way, ovidrel and IUI. didn't work. a friend of mine a few yrs younger coincidentally had the same doc. she had already tried 3 IUI's. all failed. she was urged to go on to IVF. I was urged to go straight to IVF. (he says over 40's don't fair well on clomid/IUI but he's willing to let them try it. So, I got the Rx and felt a strong distancing from the RE. We are basically on our own anyway, as we aren't compliant with the IVF. I learned from the 1 IUI that if you can get over your taboo on self insemination, you can do the job in the comfort of your home.The advantage is you know what you are putting in there. This was really our first month of self insemination. I think we got the system down without anyone feeling stress. Every other day, DH gives me a sample. It's smooth not to alert our very curious 7 yr old. You learn to do what you have to do when the kids are around. We think she's ready for a sibling - not in competition with one. This only changed in the later part of kindergarten when we could see how she handled school and other people. She's ahead of the learning game. By the way, Feb is an awesome month to conceive. Hope this puts our story in perspective.

Hi iampg, thanks for the good hopes, still not AF, but I am so scared to test. I will wait until tomorrow and see if it shows up, if not, I will test for sure. My temps dipped this morning, and usually that means AF is in the way, but it did not show up yet. I thought you have a boy not a girl : ) : ) oh my god, I love girls, and they are so sweet. Is she the only child you have? Very interesting the way you described the IUI, it does make sense though. I will keep you posted, and I hope the same with you, please keep me posted. Ttyl

 

COL - January 23

af is here , after 3 days late. i am never late :)

 

iampg - January 24

bummer. gnash, growl. maybe the winter slows our bodies down?. (btw: my other daughter is 24) Have you had all your tests? FSH, Thyroid, SA etc?

 

COL - January 24

hi iampg, i am going for the HSG next week, and doing more testing too. i am planning on doing the thyroid one soon, maybe tomorrow i will call my family doctor to do it. so, to another month :) . my dh did the SA and he is fine, we were pregnant 2 months ago :):). so you have 2 daughters, its time for a brother now :):):) wish you all the best. ttyl

 

iampg - January 25

Hi Col, it's weird. CD 6. No clomid this month. My body feels like it's still taking it though. The insomnia is creeping back - a pre-O symptom. It will be interesting to see if i ovulate on my own this month. my 7yr old was conceived in Feb - so my body will remember that! Depressing side effect - I've gained a full 10 lbs in 3 months. way too much sitting and carbing going on. Let me know how you get on this cycle.
