I know! My mom and I don't really get along very well. She tends to know exactly what to do to make me the most upset and then that's all she does is push my buttons. It's so frustrating! When my BIL announced that they were expecting. I just knew it was going to be another girl (and it was), so I cried for hours. I was totally inconsolable! Poor DH cried right along with me. I'm astounded that you only were silent for 10 min. I would never be able to keep it together like that.
Ugh. I've been having a super emotional day today. :tissue: I really don't like that the trigger shot makes my body think it's pregnant. It really starts to mess with my head. :( It's kind of cruel, if you think about it. You're taking a woman who is trying desperately to get pregnant and then you give her pregnancy hormone to make her ovulate. Obviously, it works for it's intended purpose but it also really makes you so sad when it starts to leave your system. You get a taste of pregnancy without the joy of a baby at the end. Right now I'm exhausted, nauseous, and super irritable. I'm not looking forward to going to work tomorrow. I'm going to be useless! DH tries to be sympathetic but just keeps failing miserably! It really makes me want to give him a trigger shot and see how his body likes it! :mad::mad::mad: Sorry for the rant. :(
Oh momamia I for one have never thought of how the trigger shot would make you feel and you have every right to feel sad, annoyed or however the hell you want! Huge hugs and rant away anytime xxoo

Moma-feel free to rant!! I def do!! So annoying that family would purposely push your buttons in such a personal way-names are a big deal! Don't blame you for crying-I would have too! When they announced "girl" at their reveal, I was just speechless. I heard someone cheer and shout "our" name. I sort of zoned out & couldn't talk. DH was just laughing at me, but he's disappointed too & thinks we should still use it. Here's the kicker...If everything works out for us, the expected csection date could be BIL's Birthday! They take our name, we'll take his bday...jk...we won't let it hold us back...or maybe we'll find a new name. See now I'm ranting lol. I'm sorry you're having an emotional day, huge hugs!!!!!
I've been keeping my cards close to my chest for pink names. I'm really attached to a specific combo and I don't want to "lose" it to some other family member with similar taste in books!
Foxtrotmama I'm the same as in my girl name is from a trilogy I adore!!

Well, I tested again this AM with fmu. The line is about the same, not darker like I expected. AF is officially overdue. I'm worried that I got excited over nothing! Shouldn't it be a lot darker today...am I headed towards a m/c ugh...never had one so don't know what to expect...is this how it starts?
Lola please don't read anything into it yet. It takes 48 hours for hcg to double to take a test in two mornings from now and you should see some progression.

Put some piks up lola..i think until we all get our first scan we are going to be worrying everyday..my af is due tomorrow and every twinge im thinking o god af is here..so stressful swaying and now stressful for 9 months arghhhhhh men definitely have it easier ☺
Just wondering ladies for those doing the harmony tests will you be counting your 10th week from last af or ovulation/conception x
Thanks for the reassurance! I needed that :) I was feeling so defeated when I left for work. I only snapped a quick pic before I left, so it's not the best, but pretty much looks like yesterday's. Just expected it to be darker. Do you see it? Fx that maybe it darkens tomorrow!!

It's still very much there, Lola! Like Pbn3 said, HCG doubles every 48 hours at this stage so I would look for the line to be darker over the next day or 2! Congrats!!

I took the same as you except I took it twice. Once before ovulation (to induce it) and then another time 4 days ago to help my body make more progesterone naturally. My body is super sensitive to all of these hormonal changes. They've been giving me so many lately that I'm so thrown off! I wish I could just sleep until I'm pregnant, lol! I think that would be so much easier!!
Def still there lola. Try and relax :)
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
I still see it Lola!
Momma.. you had two shots. Omg you body must be on overdrive!
Here's my update for today.
Progression lines and I caved and took digital and frer.

Momamia for some reason I cant see the link to your chart anymore?
I know I haven't been as active in here as usual and I apologize... sometimes I need to take a step back. Next cycle will be my last if I get decent attempts in. I absolutely do not want to enter yet another new year of a due date. Both me and dh already feel past our due date age wise, I turn 39 in June and he turns 46 :( I also feel sad at being left behind all the time. It's a blessing meeting so many wonderful ladies but the downside is I don't get to join the due date groups, or when I do, I miscarry.... sorry for being a downer I'm cd1 so I have an excuse lol. I really hope for a sticky bean next cycle and will do my best so I can stick around but at the moment it feels like that impossible dream and I both envy but also celebrate all these bfps happening, I just wish so much I was one of them :(
You ladies rock and are the best support anyone could ever ask for and I truly mean it when I say I am truly happy for all xxoo
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
Thanks cosmo :) that means alot :) I'm going to bed now so I'll be back in the morning with my happy pants on 😂

Awe I am so sorry. I haven't been ttc as long as you so I can't begin to imagine the stress of that on you.
I do know though from my experience of us ttc for 7 cycles it was beyond emotionally taxing.If this cycle was a bust for us (and I'm still not convinced until I get second betas back) I was going to take a few months off to focus on myself. I was going to stop diet and go back to no carbs and get into a major- summer is coming -fitness plan. I started to plan trips with girlfriends and my family to get me excited about something other than a baby. I pray this is your month!! But if it doesn't work out...have you thought about taking some time off instead of stopping? I know you said you don't want to go onto another year and I get that.. but maybe you just need to shift your focus bavk on YOU for a bit. Id say start thinking if whatever you want to do that makes you happy. Maybe during that break you will reconsider wanting to not try again?.
I know how hard we are on ourselves during this whole ttc journey and it can take a toll.
Just know we are always here for support...

Pbn I will be thinking of you so sorry for all your stress!
Lola I would think to much into a m/c I had super dark lines and held my pregnancy for 6 weeks before I had mine
Robin, congrats again!! Beautiful lines!!!
Lola, I definitely see it! Stalking for tomorrow's pics...
Pbn, I hear you! It certainly does take a toll emotionally. Hugs!! :bighug:
Pbn3- (((Huge Hugs))) My heart just goes out to you, sweetie. You have been through so much, and I pray that you will get your much deserved BFP. I wish that I could just wave a magic wand and make it be so.
If I may give you some advice, is there anyway that you *could* keep trying for at least 3 more cycles? The reason I ask is my RE told me that IF Clomid is going to work, it usually works in about 3 cycles or the cycle after stopping Clomid (this was the case for me). I know this whole TTCing and BFNs are emotionally taxing, but I'd hate to see you half heartedly try something like Clomid without giving it a good chance to see if it may work. Just a thought. I wouldn't skip taking Clomid for any cycles, I would, if you can, take it for 3 consecutive cycles. I wouldn't take it days 5-9. My RE said with someone over 35, days 3-7, or 2-6 are best because it causes you to produce a much healthier egg. Also, since you didn't conceive on 50mg, it is totally appropriate to bump it up to 100mg. If you want to PM me, I can talk to you more about what my RE said and can even consult him for you about your situation, if you'd like. He and I are close family friends.

Pbn, I pm'd you. Also, I have no idea why my chart isn't showing up anymore???
Pbn- I hope this cycle works out, my heart goes out to you, really hope you get a bfp! Trying can really take a toll on you.
My period is expected Friday, had spotting starting Thursday and it has been on/off since then. No heavy bleed what so ever and mostly *TMI* after a BM. The only time I spotted a week prior to my period was with all 4 of my pregnancies, but I am totally second guessing this since we were not really trying. BFN on the test this morning.
Pbn, I really hope this is your cycle.
Robin, I'm so happy to see such a clear positive!
Who is testing soon?
Pbn-you are an amazing support here & always have great advice! I sooo want this cycle to be YOUR time! Everything crossed for you & still sending positive vibes your way!!! I'm so sorry you've gone through so much heartache & I know it takes it's toll on you! Maybe you could plan a vacation too for some r&r and as a distraction?! Hugs!!!
fiveboys-I think I would count 10 weeks from when the last AF started. Don't know if that's correct, but that's what I was thinking.
Robin-your lines look beautiful!!!! Congrats!!!!!
I hope my lines start to look like yours Robin!
Thanks for the support everyone! Maybe I just need to be patient & hope tomorrow looks darker. I had nice lines in the beginning for both boys and since this is so different...just worries me a little. I guess as long as AF stays away...I'll try to remain positive & hopeful. I have been fortunate to never have gone through a m/c and can't imagine what some of you have gone through, but definitely empathize with the heartbreak!! You imagine a whole life for this tiny human. Praying sooo hard everyday for this one to work out!!! I told DH & he was so excited!
Af has arrive full force it stinks but I am a bit excited because if I log the withdraw bleed as just that an not a period I am right on schedule! Excited to see what next month brings plus I will have a stronger sway having 4 weeks under my belt! Got my hour of cardio in today! Yay!! Will be testing the first week of April which so happens to be the week before we go on vacation ...
Thank you all so much for your beautiful messages ❤ I really am ok and I'm just feeling done again, just like I was feeling last April prior to my second pregnancy so this is a good thing!
Xxforhubby thank you so much for the offer of help with your RE! If I planned on continuing I would definately take you up on your very generous offer!! This will be my third consecutive clomid cycle and I really need to try and delay o as I have an almost zero chance of getting an attempt in if I o on or before cd14. Hence I was hoping to delay o by taking it days 5-9...... if I cant delay o then there's almost no point trying this cycle....
Momamia I replied to your pm ❤

Ash-I'm sorry that AF showed up, but happy for you at the same time that you have a strong plan for the next cycle fx!!!
Pbn-glad you are in good spirits. I feel like good things are headed your way! Fx!!!
So, I just had to test again this evening. The line may look a little darker, but not a lot...guess I'm just impatient! Of course I will have to test again in the AM too. If I implanted later, then it makes sense that I would see faint lines. I've been researching & reading where late implantation past a certain amount of days has higher rates of m/c. Ugh, I think I just need to stop googling everything & calm down haha. I've read some success stories too...so I need to stay optimistic! I still have signs, but may be reading into them: still frequent urination, sore bb's, all kinds of twinges in my abdomen, hungry/empty feeling when I wake up, strong smells, foods taste extra sweet or salty, no AF or spotting...these may make more sense if the line was darker, but time will tell.
Here's the latest:

Lola, I can definitely see progression!! Try not to worry so much. Dr Google is horrible!! I know it's hard but try to stay away from it. It tends to cause more trouble than it's worth. :)
