March 2018 TTC & 2ww thread

Big hugs emshe don't give up! I know just how disheartening it is especially the first few af days but then you get another burst of hope and excitement leading up to o and all the hope and stress of the 2ww so its a constant rollercoaster of emotions and that's just exhausting. But we are here to cheer you on and I'm very hopeful for next cycle! Will you be doing e4d (72 hour version) from af onwards next cycle? I really think it would be wise given the uncertainty of o day this cycle gone.... You'll end up with a viable attempt for sure doing it that way.

Sounds good but again I'd consider testing both afternoon and evening from cd10 onwards as you seem to o on the earlier side [emoji4]

Mummy - whoa def see the lines!! Hoping they get darker the next few days!!

Sorry emshe :( Was this your first month on Clomid? FWIW I've done 3 cycles of Clomid and it wasn't until the 3rd cycle that I could really see the changes in my cycle and progesterone levels. I've gotten pregnant 2 of my 3 Clomid cycles so I don't know really how it would have affected my LP if I hadn't gotten pregnant those two months, but I DO think it has made a big difference in my progesterone levels. My doc and the RE that I saw the other day see that as well. Obviously I'm still losing the pregnancies so something else is going on but I feel like the Clomid is really helping. So if it was your first cycle, maybe you'll respond better next cycle?

Star hope your HSG went well!

Good luck Noemi!!

10 days. That’s why I felt ok giving Clomid a go as I hoped it may lengthen it, & the thinning the lining might be good as it always seemed in the thicker side in my HT scans.

What a bummer, think I’ll give next month a shot then time to move on in life.

Emshe, hmmm... I wonder if that's implantation spotting-- how are your temps? Saying a prayer for you!

Gafan, eeekk! I hope this is your lucky month!! Timing seemed to be perfect. I know we talked about temping before, have you had any chance to do it this cycle to confirm O? Praying for you!!

Girldreaming, I wonder what's going on with all the spotting... you said it's brownish too? I think brown is associated with progesterone being out of whack. Hoping you get some answers soon!

Today is the day for my HSG. Eeekkk! I'll be heading to the city in about 3 and a half hours. I have bloodwork first and then the procedure an hour and a half later. Going to make a long afternoon. I hope it's not as bad as I have heard but also praying there's no blockage! I've been getting some of my results in from my bloodwork the last few days and results from my ultrasound. I'll try to post a collage of my results bc I have about 20 different screenshots. I don't have my followup appt to talk about next steps until May 2nd.

To understand the photo collages read from left to right on each row. ----> :) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e4fba81cfa.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...097d2d7b40.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4903e7adad.jpg

I hope your appointment went well, star! No temping this time, as that would be my descent into swaycession and likely sway blue for me. I will just have to wait and see what happens.

Good luck Gafan!!

Thanks ladies.

I don't want to give up but at some point I have to. A whole lot of living has been missed since my first loss in September 2015 (a sway through a naturopath) then a solid year of planning our first American HT cycle in December 2016 (agreed to be a one and only cycle) then a second mid 2017 with a transfer that didnt take, then a return trip 3 months later for a final transfer, our successful transfer followed by the loss of our girl mid November. Its been so long & so much dedication, lost times with my boys, and emotional heartache that has seen me develop anxiety and at times depression. Over 2 1/2 years, YIKES!

Sorry Im venting, sometimes it helps to see it written out that I really have tried my best and maybe next cycle will be it, I hope it is, I really do, as we all do every month but I am thinking that somewhere somehow I have to say, Ive tried my best but this is whats meant to be.

Thanks ABC, yes it was my first cycle of clomid, and I was ovulating without it, so I chose to do it. Maybe I shouldn't have?

Im nervous to use it again, I want next month to be the best shot Ive got!!! Maybe Ill respond better, can only hope right!?

Thanks I ordered some!

Emshe what an exhausting journey you've had and wow you have every right to feel over it. I can totally relate to lost time with the boys. I felt the exact same way. I felt such relief when I truly had had enough and stopped ttc (even though I fell pregnant miracously that first cycle after) I felt a huge weight came off me and I was happier then I'd been in a loooong time. I was finally at peace with my family staying as was and like you, felt I'd given it my very best shot and was ready to move on. So if after next cycle you feel the same peace at stopping I will support your decision 100% [emoji173] In saying that I truly do hope you get your long awaited and much deserved bfp. And yes I would definately take the clomid as its such a strong swaying tactic! I ovulated without clomid too but has poor ovarian reserve and took it at my obs advice. Will you consider SMEP for this possible last cycle? Do it to the 'T'?
