Lala- timing doesn't sway so go for your 0+ dtd again will only help u get pregnant. You can't get it wrong!
Kraisy- keep us posted on your progesterone. What level r they looking for? I like what your on said about age!
I posted a thread in ttc member section April bs may if my ladies can check it out! Thanks ;)
Hope,
I looking for a really high number on my progesterone that might suggest pregnancy and also see what effect me taking my clomid on days 3-7 instead of 5-9. My last two clomid cycles on days 5-9 were, 38 and 28, so the higher the better.
I will try to see if I can find the thread.
My dream ~ stay away AF!! You are NOT welcome here! Hope you don't see her for a long time
Kraizy ~ good luck with your prog levels! Keep us updated. I often wonder about O pains in relation to when you actually O too. I think that I get pains before n during, n then sometimes after, so I can only guess really when I think I've O.
Thanks Hope! I think I may as well give O+ a try, I've got nothing to lose. Hopefully I'm pregnant from the cut-off but if not it just gives me an extra shot at this cycle. We will bd tonight. I really don't feel good about this cycle though. Last month I had such a good feeling, girly vibes n I was sure I was pregnant. This cycle I just feel like its not going to happen for me, but I'm terrified of doing the diet for much longer! I even had a dream last night that I was having an ultrasound and I could clearly see the doodle on the baby, clear as day. I'm not even pregnant yet n already I'm dreaming about having another boy!! :rolleyes:
How are you feeling Amari? Pregnancy symptoms starting to kick in? Enjoy all that food, glorious food!
Kd-When will you hear? Tomorrow? FX that those numbers are where you want them!
Lala-I just don't think you can tell. I didn't think I was going to get a bfp at all and, voila, it came! GL your way!
Hope-How are you doing? Did you start clomid again?
Nurse never called grrrrhhh!
Lala I did a O+12, I had dh release for 10 days straight then the day of o i had dh release at 3pm and then 10pm.. I oed about 8pm and we then dtd just the once at about 7.30am next day. My cm had changed my cp was still kind of high?? So anyway I was very lucky to get a bfp from a one off dtd and with all dh releasing! GL... I may be having a boy but really I dont mind too much if it is because we only have one child and i do have a chance to go back again.. still a girl would be just fantastic!
Grr Kraizy, don't you hate that?!
Good to hear from you Pinkin! Glad you are still around. How are you feeling? You're good at pinpointing when you O, I really can't tell. I've noticed today that my cm has turned creamy so think I will bd tonight, I think by the morning it will be too late. Does anyone know if you can use Rephresh between attempts? I don't want to kill any sperm waiting up there for the egg, but wouldn't mind using a fingertip or so some hours before dtd. Think I will look through the threads to see if this is ok.
Youre probably right Amari, but I just can't shake this negative feeling about this cycle. I am more than happy to be proved wrong however ;)
Lala I used a finger of Rephresh about 24 hrs before.. I did try for O+12 the month before but got a bfn, the only thing i did dif that time was used Rephresh 12 hrs before i used a bit more then a finger but not much so mayby it was used to close to my attempt but who knows! I have been watching my o signs for over a year now and my sister actually gets the exact same symptoms and pain as me.. My cm had changed but as i said my cervix was still sort of high so i may of done O+9 I just dont know for sure. I know tho that my d/h had a very very low sperm count and for us to actually dtd was a nightmare! So If i was right on O i hope his low sperm and T level helps me!
Oh and I am feeling quite good now thanks for asking!! For about 2 weeks I was terrible I remember on one day I went for a long walk with my MIL and i was burping and nearly ready to throw up the whole way!! I was like that for 2 weeks but now i just feel a bit off at times
Pinkin, that is great news about your m/s. I know you said it was really bad with your DS. I only had it badly for 2 weeks as well this time around...from 6-8 weeks. My belly is getting bloated looking already, and bub is only the size of an olive!!
GL Lala. It does seem to happen when you least expect it (BFP that is)!
KD, sorry the nurse didn't call - how frustrating! I think you O CD14 or even CD15. My fingers are crossed for you. And I agree, not at all too old. Although some days we probably feel it!
Nurse just called and my progesterone is 26.5. I am disappointed because it is lower than the last two months which were 38 and 28. I am just discouraged. It's again not my month! My temps are in the high range though, so who knows. They do 21-day progesterone to be a week after O right? so maybe my O was off and my progesterone was actually higher 7 days after? I know 26.5 is good and shows I Oed, but I just wanted it to be so much higher. Anyways your thoughts on progesterone are much appreciated.
Oh and which temp would you use 98.63 at 3am or 98.33 at 6am? I had to get up to go to the potty, so I took two temps. Normally I always use the first temp, but normally it is lower than the 2nd one, but in this case the 2nd is lower? So not sure which one to use.
Kraisy- I think your progesterone is ok. You still can be preggo don't count yourself out yet. Nuthinbutpink told me that I wanted above 20 this past bfp. Either temp would work its not really much of a difference.
Lala- glad you added an attempt.
I think I'm skipping April and I have been tearing my hair out over the decision. My doctor wanted me to skip for my lining. He had prescription for clomid for me but it's meant for may. My thought is how do I attempt when I have a great tool to sway and not use it? I was afraid that I used it against his advice and get a bfn and need it for may. Then what.
I've literally made myself sick. I'm also worried about cheating in the two week wait. I hate skipping the prime month but there's no way to no which way is better. Now I am cd 6 and I guess it's too late anyway. I'm not attempting without the clomid that doesn't make sense. I just don't know. My attempt will be 5 weeks from now I should just focus on other stuff eat nothing and relax! Sorry for the rambling I'm soooooo upset
Hope,
Thanks for the encouragement. I can see how hard it is that you don't want to waste the Clomid on April, but remember it will stay in your system for 6 weeks, so I would also keep that in mind. I see the pros and cons to skipping or going for it in April and I so understand. praying for you...
Kraisy-I wouldn't count yourself out just yet..
Hope- I pray that a decision comes easily to you.
Lala- Good Luck!!
Amari- hope you are feeling well.
As for me...holding out to POAS...
Go become a :poas: my dream!
My dream-when will you do it? Tomorrow?
Kd- I don't know anything about progesterone. Fx crossed for you...
Hope- tough call. Would you o on your own? When I had to take a month of I was planning in attempting w/o Clomid I'd I o'd ont own. I tracked and never o'd, so I had no option. Could you take opks, have dh release then make a decision if you get a +opk?
God, I am so pacey today and ready to leave work.....I am going to leave early anyway because the library is so slow and we don't hardly have any students, then the idea of leaving even earlier yet crept in my head but I dont want to get in trouble...sigh....just wannt to start my weekend already!
this week has been nothing but trouble cuz father in law had a stroke on tues. he is doing much better now and got released today so I am hoping that things go back to normal now and i can have a decent weekend. (God I know that sounds so selifsh and terrible, but it's been just a crazy week....I will say sorry in advance!)
on the other hand, i really want to repaint our railing to our front door before DS2 's bday party (April 28th, his bady is the next day, the 29th) but DH is prob gonna not want to do any projects this weekend since he's been livin at the hopsital almost. Anyone else ever taken off a project like sanding then priming and repainting their railing while preggo? LOL
Now I'm thinking Sunday???!!!
Peony, Yes same for me 6-8 weeks was just horrible i think it was actually worse then with ds tho i had it until 13 weeks with him.. If i was still as bad as i was i think i would need something for it
Auroara~ sounds stressful. My dh wouldn't want to do the railing either after spending all his time in a hopital. Just remember no one is going to even notice the railing like you will!
Amari~ Loving the ticker..jealous!
Mydream~ So did you test this am???
I have come to terms with my decision to wait until May. My attempt will be five weeks from yesterday. I just couldn't get over the idea that I had several cheats in the 2ww (i just knew I was preg) and to not use clomid when I have it in my arsenal just doesn't make sense to me. I did all this work, and to not wait 3 more weeks (from aprils attempt if I made one) just doesn't make sense. Also this way I will have the support of my doctor (ultrasound), an injection (so no doubt when O is, no stress), exactly when to start progesterone support etc. I figured all this 5 more weeks on diet, clomid, injection, ultrasound etc. outweighed the possible sway factor of a chemical. Maybe it even sways the next cycle too. Who knows!
Kraisy~ How are you?
Hope-sounds like you really thought it out and came to a great conclusion! Great plan!
I agree! You definitely want to go into this with no regrets, so this sounds like the best decision for you.Quote:

ugh I tested again this AM and it was negative...now I just don't know anymore...
did you use the same test? was your urine really concentrated? be optimistic, you at least got a positive yesterday and it could still be early. I am praying and thinking of you today.Quote:

I don't know what to think..I think I am going to call dr. and get blood done tomorrow.
Kraizy - thank you
I am sorry you are feeling down hun...sending you hugs and tons of positive thoughts!!!
I just came to the realization that temping is about as bad as testing early for me. I just cannot get a break!!! Grrrh! Just had to scream a little LOL!!!
Kraizy- Go ahead girl...scrrream!!! I'm right there with you~
Thanks so much mydream. It means so much to me.
Two years and no baby. Millions of HPTs, OPKs, jellies, CB monitor, cups, ferning scope, memberships, diets, you name it, it seems I have done it all and still I cannot get this right. Maybe it is my DH's counts, but even then I don't know what they will do about it. My mind has been afraid of the testing (I picked up the kit at my 21-day blood work), cause if it is low, then they will try to help him up it, and if it is upped then we have more chance of a boy right? I am just so confused and disappointed all at the same time.
:hugs: KD
Me toooooooo ladies!!!!Quote:

I just wish everyones bodies would start co-operating and do exactly as you want! I am on the other side of the world and so frustrated for you KD and Hope. The way I see it KD is that even if DHs count was low and needed to be improved, at least you would know one way or the other. After all, you would have at least a 50% shot at a girl even if no swaying was involved. But we need you pg first! For me, not knowing things is like torture.
Hope, I was reading your posts a couple of pages back and thinking the best thing to do would be to wait til May. So good on you, it sounds perfect to me.
Mydream, that has to be a BFP. Hope you get a nice dark line soon to reassure you.
Thanks everyone! I appreciate room to vent and scream.
This evening I had a little brownish discharge, and a few lower abdominal pains after I got off work, so more than likely AF is on her way. Maybe even earlier.
Ah KD :hug2: I feel so much for you!!!
mydream, did you test this am...is it darker or you gonna wait till tomororw? Prob best to wait 2-3 days to give time for hcg to go up so the test can get darker. Did you call your DR?
Hope, I agree with Peony, I think May does sound like a fab month to TTC.
Sorry if I forgot any one else's news or posts, I read yesterday but didn't post and now I've forgotten what I've read!
I have my ultrasound scheduled on Friday so fingers crossed they're going to say "it's a girl!" :pray:
Thank you peony! I'm glad I'm waiting. My belly has been hurting a bit and I am praying my crohns stays away. I will have a few more weeks to feel better. at the same time I'm embarrassed to admit I'm feeling I don't want to be left behind!! So stupid :( I can't believe I'm even gonna hit the post thread button..Quote:
