Numerous November 2WW

I would try to move to E4D, Kelbear. I'm still hoping AF stays away for you!

I hate how our bodies play with our hearts so much when TTCing. I was doing just fine until my high temp this morning and now the red/brown (more brown than red) CM is gone! Ugh! I'm like if AF is going to come, then just start already! I hate mind games and that is what this feels like!

I should test too, but I'm too chicken! I'd rather wait for AF. I'm definitely testing on Friday though.

I should have waited for AF to arrive, somehow I don't find that as difficult as seeing a stark bfn.
I really hope this is your month xx. Yes our bodies do play tricks on us and give us false hope. I just hope in your case you are really pregnant. Will be looking out for updates and hoping you get a bfp.
I will try e4d next month I think if we can work it out around my shifts and hubby's long hours.

Hello everyone Im back, had another attempt in October, but again no luck AF came like always, it isso crazy, because its never taken so long to get pg we had tried 3 months now, and nothing. We used baking soda the first two times and and this time did not use it because I was so sure thats why I did not get pregnant. I think we are going to start bding every 2 days once AF leaves. I see that I have alot of CM about 4 to 5 days before I get + on ovulation strips and then the day I get my + I have no cm, I am hoping for my BFF this month, and I hope the same for all of you, this can be a really depressing thing when you think and feel like ok this is month, but nope AF shows up. @XXforhubby I hope you get your bfp I've been hoping for a while GL:)

Well I got a small dip today of 0.5 degree but nothing substantial.

XX- with that high temp do you feel feverish at all? my temp was high like that my bfp cycle! but high enough i felt like i was feverish and coming down with something. still not certain it wasnt my immune system 'sinking' to let the baby implant lol

XX... as part of your support system...i think you should test. you can always test again friday if today is a BFN...but there is also the chance it will be a BFP and you have your answer!

No, I don't feel feverish at all. Maybe warmer than usual, but not like I'm sick or anything. The thing is, I don't have any real symptoms like I had with my 3 boys. If I were pressed to come up with something, maybe more tired (but my DS3 is teething right now), more thirsty, and very tender nipples (I can get this before AF sometimes). Who knows! I know every pregnancy can be different but this would be VERY different!

I may cave and test. I expect it to be negative though. If I implanted on Sunday, I may not get a positive yet.

I know every BFN is a blow to the spirit even if you are at peace ultimately with not having anymore XX but you CAN cave and look at it as you still have 2 days before that BFN would be a for sure BFN...there is always the denial of 'it was too early' until its not too early anymore...and you MAY be shocked at what the test says ;)

with this cycle and the one coming up being your last chance id be using those pregnancy tests so that by the end of the next cycle they are gone wether you are pregnant or not :) at least then you used something you put money into! lol

I wish I wouldn't have tested. Of course it was positive. That was this morning. Just now, I had three contractions followed by tissue being expelled [emoji20]. Looks like I'm going to be in for one helluva a period. Heartbroken. Not surprised though. Not sure what I'm going to do. I can't let my DH know if I still want him to show up to BD unprotected. That is if I still want to try. Not sure if there is even a point to it all...[emoji25]

I know it's hard not to, but don't give up hope just yet. I had a 5 day, heavy period at about the same point of gestation you're at right now and came out of it with a baby 9 months later. :pray: :pray: :pray:

I am praying that it is a sticky bean for you xx, I really hope everything is ok.

Oh XX- I am so sorry you are going through this. I am praying that it is just one of those weird things and that there is still a stickie bean in there.

Hippoing for now, had my first positive opk yesterday along with our one and only attempt. I know I ovulated today, so tomorrow will be 1dpo and I will be in the tww. Really hoping to get a positive hpt in the next week and a half!!

Xxforhubby am keeping everything crossed for you that this a sticky bean! Am thinking about you! X o

CD1 for me after a grueling night of horrid cramps. I forgot just how painful chemical pregnancies can be. Moving onward and upward.

Thanks for all of your support ladies!

Sorry XX, Hugs. I would err on the side of caution and still take another pregnancy test before starting Clomid to make sure the test didn't get any darker, if you decide to take the Clomid. Fingers crossed for you if you decide to try this cycle.

XX, I agree with tfahn about taking pregnancy test before clomid. We all remember purple having a full blown AF but got a positive test before starting clomid. Sorry you had such a rough night.

XX I have been following you and these threads for months now (I know, crazy stalker, right) and I just wanted to give you a huge HUG right now!!! Praying that everything works out and that you get your THB you so deserve!

I am still waiting for PPAF to return, so I follow all of you cheering you on from the sidelines till it is my turn.

Oh no xxforhubby, so sorry to read this. I agree with the other ladies about a further pregnancy test. I am thinking about you! X

XX I am so sorry :( I was so sure you were pregnant and I feel I helped push you to take that test and then this happened... to be on the safe side I would do what others suggest and make sure the line is lighter or gone before starting the clomid. I am hoping you try this last month if you feel up to it.. I would love the Christmas miracle of you getting pregnant with your daughter.. that would be special.

I wish I could give you the biggest hug...

Xx please take care of yourself! You are in my thoughts. Big hug to you!!

Aw, It's just the luck of the draw. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I tested to be sure, because I wanted to take Clomid. My test was faint this morning, so I went in for a blood draw. It is below normal limits, 9, and my RE said to go ahead and take the Clomid. I wasn't sure I was going to take it, but I think I am so I can feel like I've done all that I can. I'm doing surprisingly well.

Thank you all for your support! I hope to see more BFPs from you all soon!

Trying to find a positive in this XX and I know any loss especially a chemical seems to sway pink even if it's only slight.. that plus the clomid makes me hopeful if you get your BFP this next month it will be your husbands wished for DD

I am so sorry you had to go through that xx. I hope you are ok and wish with everything I have that you get a sticky bean this coming month just in time for Christmas. It is strange that I have never met any of you wonderful ladies yet feel so connected to you all and just want you all to have all you desire.

Sorry XX, hopefully you have good luck this cycle if u try.

Ok, Really feeling confused at what to do right now. Would love some Opinions.

As I posted a few days ago, my good insurance will most likely be ending at the end of the year due to my company being sold. So since my insurance covers IVF, if we want to go that route we have to start a cycle really soon. I started the process, but didn't sign any paperwork. Did the Sono Hsg and today all the drugs arrived; seeing all those meds really has me second guessing this decision.

We both would love a second child, one the biggest reasons being giving our DD a sibling. In normal life I really try to eat Non gmo/ organic as much as possible , use natural beauty products and natural cleaners around the house. So the thought of putting all those meds in my body goes against a lot of how I like to live.

My husband already thinks IVF is going against nature somewhat. He did agree to do a cycle and does want another baby but he says that it's my body that will take the brunt of it. I just worry about long term side effects of messing with my body, what if it increases your risk of cancer, some studies says it does others say they don't. (My Mother died of Cancer 5 years ago and it's certainly something that weighs on my mind which is why I started living cleaner starting 5 years ago.)

Just hate having to make this decision in such a short amount of time. If I turn it down now and lose the insurance next month, we would not be able to afford IVF later on down the road due to the costs. Part of me is really thinking of stopping this process now and just continue to try naturally, and it I get pregnant then it was meant to be.

Sorry for the long post but this decision is making me emotional and needed to let it out.

Tfahn I hope you can make the decisions that you need to, it must be tough to make the decision to go the IVF route regardless, but especially difficult if you have time pressures weighing on your mind. I don't know enough about the meds to give you any useful advise, the only advise I can give you is to think about how you will most likely feel if you don't try IVF, if you will later regret it or if you are ok in knowing that if it doesn't happen naturally that is meant to be. Go with your heart and what will make you happy. Sorry I can't be any more help to you.

Hi tfahn, you definitely have a big decision ahead of you. It really comes down to your hearts desire and if you will regret not doing it. Picture yourself 6, 9, 12 down the line...if you don't get pregnant naturally how will you feel? You have already tried some meds and IUI so how did those make you feel in terms of unnatural?

Most woman, either for infertility or gender selection, would kill to have an insurance plan that would pay for it (I know I would). I have never heard of that so consider that in your decision too. This is a very unique opportunity.

FX with whatever you decide.

Thanks Kelbear and GirlieCat. I think it comes down to feeling rushed into the decision and not having a backup plan if we skip this cycle as we can't decide later to try ivf, I am really going to try and think it over this weekend and try to decide what to do. I know a lot of people would love the chance at IVF but can't afford it, we would not even consider doing this if the insurance wouldn't cover it. I think already having 1 child sways into my decision as well. I can say with 100% certainty if I had no other children and this was my one shot at having one I would most likely go through with the IVF cycle.

In the past I did take some of the medications and didn't go into that lightly. But they were such small doses for only 5 days max. In my previous Gonal F cycle I only injected 75 units for 4-5 days. In the IVF cycle it would jump to 300 units every day for 12 days at least. Plus there is 5 boxes of another medication, 5 days of anti biotics, a trigger shot, and a different progesterone supplement for afterwards. I think it was just overwhelming to get all that medication at once and think about it all going into my body.

Both me and my husband also think being on the birth control pills this month might help too. That maybe it will regulate/balance my hormones and I might be able to conceive naturally after stopping them( Could also be wishful thinking). We got pregnant with our first child 2 months after stopping the pills after being on them for 18 years. With all the tests coming back normal and only being diagnosed as unexplained infertility, really there is nothing stopping my body that I know of.

Tfahn- have you looked into herbs to help balance/regulate your hormones? I use maca root and Ashwagandha powder and they do a wonderful job of helping the body maintain homeostasis.

I know it takes time to research herbs and see how the body reacts/adjusts to them; but you can exercise this choice after your insurance no longer covers IVF.

Good luck to you and your family on a difficult decision.

I'm so sorry XX!!! I'm glad you are doing well considering everything and I really hope that if you decide to try this cycle that you get your pink sticky bean!! FX!! FX!!

Cd 1 for me. Knew it was coming but still sad no bfp this month. Good luck to anyone still waiting to attempt or test.

XX - just reading this and I am so sorry. I'm glad you confirmed it's OK to go forward with the Clomid. Fx for this cycle!

Aw, Kelbear, I think we all know CD1 disappointment. Treat yourself to a drink, or otherwise pamper yourself?

Anyone else still in the TWW? I'm starting to feel like we're all cycling together.

CD10 for me.

Awe no so sorry XX and Kel.
This is not been a great month for us!
