I hope to see lots of BFPs here this month!!! I know how frustrating TTC can be and I am rooting you all on! :cheer::fingers::bluecheer:
I have to agree here. I only have 2 to care for myself but went from 2 to 4 overnight! My nieces (9 and 10)were placed with us via CPS for nearly a year and the hardest part of the transition was suddenly dealing with girly issues. For example, I keep the boys' hair cut close to the head to avoid any of those hair pests (I don't like the "L" word, lol) that kids tend to bring home from school. When they came to me they were completely infested and I had to learn how to deal with that. The oldest has started puberty so I had to answer a lot of questions. Just a lot of things that you normally have several years to prepare yourself for lol. That was really the hardest part. Going from 2-4 was pretty easy otherwise (of course I didn't work with the baby stage so I am no expert lol). I kinda miss having them :(Quote:

That is exactly what clomid does for me with the trigger shot, love it!!!! O day Friday [emoji5]️Quote:

Do any of you clomid ladies know if the effects of Clomid are cumulative? In other words is there a chance my second cycle on clomid might make for an earlier O for me? I didn't O until CD 24 this cycle which really sucked. I will be having a follicle study on CD 13 or 14 this coming cycle so at least I won't be as in the dark as I was this cycle (hopefully), but I am REALLY hoping for an earlier O...

Not sure everyone is different but I've been on clomid 4 times this is cycles 5 and the last 4 times have been identical every time. I have the ovidril shot which makes me O.Quote:

I don't know Two. For me, I O'd earlier this cycle than last but I was also increased from 50mg to 100mg. Is your dose being increased or are you staying the same?
50 same as last cycle *sigh* Only change this cycle is the follicle study.
Sent from my SCH-S968C using Tapatalk
Well, I hope they figure out what's going on! Maybe you should bring up the trigger shot at your next appt?
How much do those suckers cost? My ins won't pay for fertility meds so cost is a factor. Also, I can't really go there until after we see how my ovaries are responding. Trigger is no good if there aren't any mature eggs when triggered, kwim?
Sent from my SCH-S968C using Tapatalk
True. I'm not sure how much they cost. I seem to remember someone saying $200 but I could be wrong. I haven't gotten one, so I don't know for sure.
Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
I'm in Australia and they cost $100
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ha. Yeah, I O on my own and can't justify spending that kind of $$ to do something I do for free lol. Clomid is justifiable because of increased egg quality..... but $200? Ouch! I'm good lol.Quote:

Lol! True! :D That's why I haven't gotten it either. I am a little concerned this cycle though because my opk was nowhere near as positive as last month. :confused: I figured it would be similar but it was super light. Although, the box says that you can't go by the color of the lines with the CB Advanced. That only makes it more frustrating. :/ I ordered some ICs but I haven't gotten them yet. I think they're supposed to get here tomorrow. Silly me thinking I'd O the same day as last month. Well, at least they also come with some cheapie hpts, so I can take advantage of those, lol! I'm hoping this 2ww will go faster than last cycle because we are going out of town to visit family and then taking the kids for a surprise trip to an amusement park. :D
Oh! Sounds fun!! We have a trip also but not during the 2WW and not nearly as fun, lol. Hubby's annual family reunion is coming up, so at least that will keep us a little busy... Maybe kill some time while I wait to O (if AF ever decides to show that is). Over 3 weeks to O feels like an eternity when TTC, kwim? Also, I am kinda curious what the follicle study will show. I was hoping to avoid it because it is fertility related so I doubt my ins will pay a dime of it, but now that that option has passed I am actually looking forward to learning what is going on in there around CD 13-14... maybe it will shed some light on why I O so late. My personal opinion is that I need a higher dose, because I am O'ing close to my avg time even with the clomid which makes me think it is not really doing much. According to FF CD 25 is my avg for O day and I O'd CD 24. Anyway, hopefully the trip and the study will break up the wait a bit. Unfortunately, they will be close to back-to-back so it won't break things up by much. The reunion will be over a weekend and more than likely I will have the follicle study a few day after we get back. Maybe even the the following Monday as, if AF shows today, that Monday will be CD 14.
That should be fun too though! We had a family reunion last summer with my mom's family and it turned out pretty well. I was actually surprised because my mom's family is full of alcoholics. I figured there was going to be a lot of drama but there really wasn't. I hope the study helps you figure some stuff out! I agree that you need a higher dose. That's why my RE increased mine. He was trying to get me to O earlier. It worked for me! :) FX your Dr is cooperative!

For the most part it is pretty boring. The highlight of the whole thing is at the end we play softball. Beyond that it's mostly just a bunch of sitting around.Quote:

I had the same issues with my new ones... think I might need to buy new ones. What kind/brand did you order?Quote:

Ill give momamia first grabs if she wants them since she posted first, but if not I may be game. I thought I had bought wondfos because the name was on the ebay page of the ones I bought but after I looked into it I found out they weren't :(Quote:

Ok, I have been posting here for a few days because I was in a limbo between this cycle and last, but AF finally arrived so I can finally move on from last cycle.
Several of you were on the July thread but for those who weren't:
This is my second cycle TTC. I am taking clomid to improve egg quality after a loss in May. I am also taking it to shorten my cycles but that didn't happen last cycle. I honestly don't know if I'll be swaying this cycle. After our loss in May and a probable chemical preg last cycle, DH and I are trying to decide which means more to us A: doing everything in our power to try to get a sticky bean(which would mean taking steps to improve fertility which would sway blue) or B: Getting back on the sway horse in hopes of a girl. *If* we decide to continue on the sway train our sway will look something like LE, couch potato (did cardio last cycle but because of my late O issues it won't be feasible anymore... with earlier O I might have been able to do one more cycle with cardio but...), BD E4D, Clomid, Zantac and Folic acid in high doses (doctor prescribed dosage). DH will continue to take OLE.
Based on my secondary charting SW I am foretasted to O on the 18th, so I have a long wait ahead of me... esp since based on last cycle I won't even O that early. My avg O timing would put me O'ing around the 22nd. I have to call the doc office in the AM to schedule a follicle study which will likely be on the 10th or 11th. Bottom line is many, if not most, of you will likely have moved on to the next cycle before I even O. I'll be lucky if my 2WW doesn't continue into September, lol.
So that pretty much explains me, lol.
Baby dust to everyone here and anyone looking for blue dust you are welcome to take as much of mine as you want ;)

Good luck, two!!! :) I hope your cycle is shorter.
Afm, I guess the peak I got was some kind of joke my cb advanced decided to play on me. My temps are not confirming the O and ff had actually readjusted my O to this coming Friday. Ugh.... I took another opk today and it says high. I guess I'll just keep testing. Something definitely keeps delaying my O. I can feel my body gearing up but for some reason it just won't happen. Do you think I should call my RE? Or just wait it out? I'm inclined to wait it out as I know that I normally O on my own.
Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
Sorry momamia. If you o on your own I would wait, but if this is a reoccurring thing I would call.
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
This is the first time it has happened. I think I'll wait. Thanks for your input! :)
Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
I agree, if it keeps happening I'd call as it could be worth looking into but this time I'd wait it out and see. Our bodies gear up to O but don't for many reasons so I wouldn't stress it just yet. Repeatedly doing so is worth a call, but once is no big deal :)Quote:

I don't like it either two

I'm not a fan of it either! I love Kindara but they don't have a feature available yet to create a link to your chart. If so, I would go that route instead- it is much more aesthetically appealing!

Makes me feel like I am on mobile even on my PC and I always preferred the pc version of FF. Only thing I used the app for was to put in my temp.
