Feeling so happy yet worried at the same time what if it's not OK and how will I feel if it's a boy??? This is our last child had to talk ds into this so no way will he agree to a fourth. Feel all over place today .... Still no morning sickness at all just exhausted and mild cramp aches at night
I hope hubby changes his mind when he realises how strongly you feel about it xxxQuote:

Best of luck Pinklady. I hope all goes well at your scan and baby is looking good!
Good luck pinklady, I really feel like I can relate this will be our last too. Hope all is well.

I went to the Dr to disuse my blood work and she told me that my thyroid level is still to high so she increased my dose. I'm really hoping that a few weeks on my meds will correct my thyroid and trigger ovulation for me. Unfortunately I'm very deficient in vit D along with iron. So I need to begin my vit D supplements again. I was hoping to avoid these as I know they sway blue :(

They can still get darker. Mine will do that a lot, they look like they will turn positive soon then lighten up for a few days and then turn positive. This cycle I didn't get a positive OPk until CD20, so keep testing.Quote:

Jdd, welcome! I very, very strongly recommend you take your Clomid on CD3-7 instead, especially since you O late naturally. This is coming from a pharmacist and fellow late Oer + short LP who has taken Clomid.
XX, I see you attempted last night so good luck!
sharon, I would NOT jump to assuming you won't O merely bc your OPKs have been fkuctuating in darkness snd aren't yet positive on on CD14. True anov cycles are actually pretty rare. And remember swaying can make your surge/LH levels act differently and delay O. I myself got 2 days of lighter OPKs a few days before O, then an OPK as dark as before (the light line I'd had consistently before since I started testing on CD8) and then the next day I suddenly got a crazy dark pos OPK. So anything can happen, but you WILL ovulate eventually.
pinklady, good luck with your scan!
jenren, since deficiencies sway pink, and it can take a while to fully get your levels up, I wouldn't worry about necessary supplementation swaying blue. Especially as the deficiencies combined with your thyroid may indeed be negatively impacting your fertility. I hope you're in a healthier state soon.
My chart post O continues to be rocky and plagued by low temps. Even though my typical beautiful charts never mean anything, I still find this discouraging. At least i don't have my hopes up as much? I'm 8dpo.

We did. Well it was more like DH attacked me, and I couldn't say no, haha! He has me between a rock and a hard place- I feel I have to say yes if he wants to BD, because I don't want him to stop wanting to try for baby #4. While its not totally ideal, I feel me doing so well with the diet and exercise trumps this BD...hopefully!!

Maiden I understand about discouraging looking charts. I've found it such a relief to not chart this cycle although it certainly feels weird. My bfp chart looked terrible too so there's still hope :)
Tfahn how is your chart looking?
Sharon hope to see your opks darken to a pos really soon!

Well I did it! After reflecting on things the past 3 weeks I made the decision to stop ttc. I have binned my clomid, repeat script and bw requests. I'm free!!!!!! I know there will be days I'll be sad and wonder and even regret but this is the right decision of that I am sure! I can't wait to finish this cycle and get on with my life!! I'm not even upset to be finishing on probably my least likely chance cycle yet. I'm actually relieved my odds are so small. Wow that feels good to say!!

Thanks xxforhubby!! I've had one too many 'I'll just try one more cycle' so its very liberating to finally let it go, but its also been very hard! Not saying of course I wont have my down days, I wil, but I will get past them! My ds2 just turned 2 yesterday so we are approaching major milestones with him! Starting daycare 1 day a week, getting close to a big boy bed in his very own room and (fx fx fx) toilet training in the very near future!!
Jennypenny I seen you post in another thread that you're having your attempt tonight and wanted to wish you the very best!! Good luck girl! Hope you catch that egg!!

Wow Pbn3, I am happy you are happy! Though sad you threw away your Clomid, you could have sold it to me. ;)
My temp sent up again... what a seesaw!

Well done on making a decision. I think about the same thing but at the moment I can't bring myself to stop just yet. I'm thinking July/August which isn't really that far away.Quote:

Thanks Maiden! It was the generic brand and only cost $40 max for the two cycles worth I actaully filled lol (and used once) Otherwise I would've been happy to send your way. However I think popping the pills out of their pouch into the rubbish bin really helped with my thought process. As you know I've struggled for the last six months as to whether keep going or not and having the clomid in my cupboard (finally - to little to late) was really holding me back! I know I'll have days I'll regret it and I will alway long for a dd or even another dc! But I think now I can deal with the regret and I'm certainly not forking out another $200 to see my ob to write the same script 😂 I will always (unfortunately) wonder if my mc baby was a girl or boy but I will learn to live with that as well. I just wish me and dh were younger. That is my first in line sole regret - we waited five long years. But until you have kids its hard to know you'll regret this till later...I also wish I'd had fertility testing done far sooner (I had a check up prior to ttc and my lh and fsh were normal but didn't test amh). In any case I regret many things but I am so thankful I found this site! The support on here is amazing! I still cannot believe Taytum just had a boy!! I was three months into swaying when she got her lomg deserved bfp!! So for anyone reading this that doesnt conceive after 3-6 months - demand testing!!! Lie about how long you've been ttc but find a way to get tested! Especially if you're in your 30's!!! I stupidly waited and fell pregnant cycle 8 but miscarried and haven't had a look in since!! So please don't wait get the testing done if only for peace of mind :)

I'm glad you found peace in your decision PBN, wishing you luck in the upcoming milestones for DS#2. I would also agree with not waiting too long to have kids, I am totally kicking myself now. We we married for 15 years before we started trying, DH wanted kids but I was never on board and he really never pushed the topic too much. Luckily we had DD after only 3 months of trying. Now at 39 staring down 40 and a miscarriage 4 months ago I so wish we started having kids earlier.
I too have had thoughts of stopping TTC but I still have hope we will have another child, I really think DD deserves a sibling. Finding out my new insurance covers 4 IVF cycles has really lifted some of the time pressure I was feeling, even though IVF isn't a guarantee I feel like its my safety net. Not sure DH would be on board for IVF but that's another days worry.
AFM, nothing much going on. Had blood work taken this morning for a progesterone level check and should have the results in a few hours. Temps are lower in general this cycle for some reason, my post O temps seem low but they are still above coverline at 7DPO. Need to buy some FRER for testing on Sunday. When will you test Maiden?
No. My DH wouldn't consider it, and I'd rather put that money into remodeling our house to create a 4th bedroom and a 2 car garage in order to make room for our boys and another baby....if we're blessed to have another little life join us.Quote:

Got my progesterone levels back from this morning. It was only 9.9 at 7 DPO, really hoping it would have been higher as it was a medicated cycle.
Do you think this is a positive opk?
Attempting tonight anyway (e4d method) just wanted to see if I was getting a good attempt in xxx

That's a positive jenny! Goodluck!
Sorry your progesterone is low tfahn. Will they get you to take anything to help?
I'm happy we didn't wait too long to try for our first. My mum wanted me to wait until I was 30 but we started trying a few months after our wedding and I was 27 (we lived together 4 years before the wedding). I had fertility issues even then so it was good we didn't wait.
Knowing I had fertility issues I still was convinced it wouldn't take that long the 3rd time but with 2 miscarriages and a long time between bfps it has been over a year now.
Pbn3, you sound very at peace with your decision. I really regret not starting TTC earlier/my past choices in my 20s.
Tfahn, I'm sorry about the low P levels, I was SO hoping Femara would help. I'm thrilled that IVF is an option though.
Jenny, very positive! I've never gotten such a dark line on those OPKs.
I won't be testing as I'm surely out. I just had a little spotting when wiping and that ALWAYS means AF foreme, plus I have a bit of AF back cramping, doubly bad. AF will probably be here Saturday night so less than 24 hrs. Basically identical to last cycle. My first cycle following Clomid mimicked my Clomid cycle too. I definitely feel the Clomid affects me for a cycle after. It will be interesting to see how this next natural cycle NOT immediately following a meducated cycle will be. Hopefully my O won't happen too much later.
Maiden , i will be trying to get famera so i may have a couple of month of clomid if you need them x
Maiden sorry to hear af seems to be on her way :( will you be trying the new donor next cycle?
Tfahn sorry your prog results weren't better. Still hope you see a bfp on Sunday.
Good luck Jennypenny!
Thanks for all your kind words ladies! I have been feeling ridiculously happy today no regrets at all!!

My 2nd cycle after clomid had me O'ing back at the usual late time around cd30. Are you out of medication to use? Hopefully your body is just tricking you and you get a BFP.Quote:

Pinkin, I'd definitely love to take you up on that if you are able to get Femara! But I urge you to get pregnant first before getting rid of any meds.
Pbn3, I will definitely be trying to meet up with new donor but it probably won't be until next cycle, in June. I've not had a working phone for several weeks now and the only phone I want it backordered/out of stock here in Germany (Apple iphone SE).I don't feel comfortable traveling without a cell phone and you can only arrange so much by email.
Purple, I have one cycle of 50mg Clomid left. But I won't use it until I'm sure I can give new donor a try. Plus I think I need a longer break from Clomid given my short LP on it last month. There is also the issue of the extreme crippling side effects i get on Clomid...I think every 3rd cycle might be a better way for me to use it. I need to plan for being completely incapacitated for 2 weeks. Although I wonder if a higher dose would actually be better, as I was on a slightly lower dose my 2nd Clomid cycle, and had worse side effects for longer, plus the short LP.
Unless Clomid reset me somehow after the first cycle, I really think it does affect me for 2 cycles. Both times the cycle after I took Clomid I got crazy dark true positive OPKs which I never get otherwise.
I may be able to get some Femara via a friend who goes to Spain in August. Or maybe I'll feel up to going there myself before then.
Maiden- I've got really good feelings about the new donor. Im Xing everything for you!
AFM- I'm waiting to see if I've Oed by my chart. I think I need a few more temps to really tell. I've had horrid O pains though that woke me up! I couldn't even lie on my left side it hurt so bad! I'm hoping that means ovulation is/has happening or happened. I don't usually get O pains in anovulatory cycles.
FX we see more BFPs!!
