I'm on CD21 and believe 1 DPO, will know more after the next 2 days of temps. This was my first cycle on femara and the latest I have ever gotten a +OPK. Helpfully my body was building some nice eggs. Will start testing on 9DPO.
Oooh that's exciting! Hope the femera works for you [emoji1360]Quote:

We ended up not doing more attempts after this, as I was convinced I had already ovulated.
Obviously went on to get a bfn so think I should have kept up with e4d attempts as may not have actually ovulated when I thought I had.
Anyway, this month I will continue with e4d attempts right up to AF!!
Hi ladies! Hope May is our month! I'm not sure where I am in my cycle I had mirena removed mid-april and haven't had a real AF since then. I'm doing opks but not temping. Trying for one attempt at +opk. I'm finding it harder to motivate with the diet now that we are actually trying. Which is crazy! I've been doing the diet a long time so it's definitely not time to slack now. I've gotta motivate! Good luck everyone!

Good luck ladies! I love stalking this thread and seeing BFPs!
Team green baby due May 21! [emoji170][emoji166]
Best of luck to you ladies!!! Bring on the May BFPs!!! :luck:
I am due to ovulate tomorrow i had a pos opk last night so we had our attempt . Hope its enough!! Good luck to everyone.
Well ladies I went to the doc and had lab work done since I have been feeling like death and have yet to get AF (18 months pp which is 6 months longer than I have ever gone before)
Anyways I got my results andAnda so confused by them. My sex hormone binding globulin is sky high, way out of normal range, my testosterone is low, my progesterone is .2. Does anyone know what effect any of that has on my cycle???
Also my ferritin was so low it was undetectable which probably explains why I can barely make it 2 hrs without wanting to collapse from exhaustion and the dizzy spells, ect
Any insight you ladies have I would appreciate!!

Was it a CD21 progesterone blood draw?
Good luck this month everyone!
I'm on CD13 and started taking the norethindrone acetate pills (high dose progesterone only pills) on CD9. If they work, I should not ovulate or have a period this cycle. I'm still charting but the pills cause elevated temps which is why FF thinks I O'd on CD9. I'm just temping in order to see if I get a temp drop so I'll know if I should expect AF or not. I was on the progesterone only mini pill for 5 years after having DS2 and still O'd every month (confirmed by temps) and got AF right on time so I'm not that hopefull, but the doctor says these pills are a higher dose. I go back to the doctor in 5 weeks to see if my ovarian mass has shrunk.
I've been kind of sad and depressed for the past two weeks because my best friend had her baby girl last Saturday (I was her doula!) and even though I'm super excited for her and she deserves it so much after swaying and then having 3 miscarriages in a row, I'm still sad because she was my only friend with all boys and we used to talk about our GD together. Now she's on cloud 9 with her baby girl and I'm the only one out of our group of 5 best friends from high school that doesn't have a girl. I broke down crying several times and had two more heart to heart talks with DH and he's 100% not interested in having any more kids and wants me to just get over it and move on. It doesn't help that I'm turning 35 next month and always wanted to be done having kids by this point.
Aw, Essnce, I just want to give you a big hug! I'm hoping your DH has a change of heart. I know what you mean thinking you'd be done having kids by a certain age. I never would have thought I'd be TTCing 25 myself and here I am TTCing at 36!
I know how hard it must be to be supportive of your friend. My heart goes out to you!
I'm finally wanting a DD myself. Today, my DS1 had a birthday party to go to- a girl in his class. He is friends with two boys and three girls. We picked up a little girl to take to the party. She is a tomboy but girlie too. We hit it off. And then it happened. I want a DD of my own. Sigh.
So I've been awesome with exercise. I've been good with the diet. Time to get awesome with the diet. Hopefully I can get pregnant while nursing. It's happened before...
FX for all of us trying to add another little person in our lives...

Oh gosh Essnce, I'm so sorry! Having GD is such a monster sometimes and it really doesn't help when it seems like everyone else has what you want. It's just not fair. :( You know we're all here for you whenever you need to vent. Big, big hugs!! I hope the progesterone med helps and you're able to get your iron problem corrected. FX the cyst on your ovary shrinks down!
Tfahn, I'm so bummed you didn't respond better to the Femara.but it's nice to be O buddies again, almost.
pinkin, I hope you O promptly so you can be ou O buddy too.
essnce, hugs! Your situation makes me so angry and sad. I can only imagine how YOU feel. I also wanted to be done having kids young, but here I am 35 with none.
As for me, I'm 4dpo today. I haven't been well the past 2 weeks AND I've been having all sorts of electronic failures (both my German cell phones and 2 different German SIM cards not working properly or at all - I've had endless problems with my cell phones the past 4 years, my tablet has been insanely slow and crashing a ton, and I haven't been able to use my laptop). I think it's all due to my aura/electromagnetic field. I've always burnt through watch and thermometer batteries crazy fast, and frequently short out light bulbs, and my mom made everything electronic around her malfunction. Must be genetic...
Bc I was feeling so bad and had no working cell phone I wasn't able to meet up with new donor. I Oed a day earlier than expected on CD16 (very early like 3am, I think). I did get attempts in on O-3 and O-1 from old donor. The 2nd attempt was 12 hours at most before I Oed though, so may have been too late. However, the volume of the 2nd batch was great (3.5nl) much better than the tiny amounts (just under 1ml) he produced last cycle after his first ejaculation. Not hopeful, but I don't really want a Jan baby anyway
Nice to see you back maiden.Quote:

Good to see you again Maiden! I hope this is the cycle you get a BFP! FXFXFX
Hi everyone I'm back. I was supposed to be skipping this cycle but at the last minute decided to have a half arsed go at it. I've oed earlier than I thought (during the night I suspect) but wasn't expecting to o until today. So my attempt ended up being best guess 24-36 hours prior to o. Dh said he didn't think he'd released since last cycles attempts 😮 so not hopeful but not unhappy either as I still have issues with the due date lol. Better a 5% chance than none at all though :) Looking forward to catching up on this thread and seeing where everyone is at. Sorry I went MIA, I'd uninstalled tapatalk and ff as I went through a pretty rough time following af and just couldn't deal with it all :( but have bounced back as always. Just wish I'd taken my clomid but hoping taking it last cycle still had some effect this cycle.

Xxforhubby I cant believe we are actually in a ttc cycle at the same time!! I will be following your chart closely! Any idea if o feels close? Going by your old charts you and assuming your cycles are reasonably back to normal you may o this week?
Tfahn very excited to see you oed!! Really hoping the femara has helped! Bring on 9dpo and testing time!
Good luck this cycle Jennypenny!! Good idea to continue with e4d the cycle long. When do you usually o?
Inforthree how are your opks looking? Hoping you get a pos opk really soon!
Pinkin - cycle buddies! 😚🙌
Jenren can you ring or see your doc again and take in a list of questions? Sorry I cant offer any input but I too would feel abit bamboozled with results. Let us know how it goes or if you get any further feedback.
Essnce hope to hear your ovarian mass has shrunk at next check up. Totally get your feelings about your best friends dd. You did a wonderful thing being her doula whilst having to deal with your own feelings. One of my closest friends delivered a baby girl in January, the same morning my miscarriage started and it was such an emotional ordeal. I was hoping your dh would come around :(
Maiden hi! Sorry you've been unwell and things didn't work out with your new donor for this cycle. However super excited you got two attempts in with old donor and I think your last attempt is realy good timing! From my understanding sperm takes 6-12 hours to capacite and if you oed 12 hours after a decent insemination (woohoo) then I think you've got a great shot! I'm with you about not feeling excited about a January baby and will ve happy to move onto next cycle. In saying that it would be wonderful to see you post a bfp! Can you post a link to your chart here and there?
Hope I've not missed anybody - good luck one and all!

I have ovulated!!! Early hrs of last night!! Yay pbn3 we can go through this cycle together xo.
Maiden i hope you get you much deserved bfp this month xo. I am sorry you have been feeling unwell.
As for me i didnt take clomid this month and for some reason i had no cm at all so i used a little preseed and had a big o after the deed so im hoping that may of helped me. I started taking a spoon full of robitussin yesterday morning i feel this month will be a write off with the lack of cm i just cant see how anything would of survived anyway on with the 2ww!.
Good luck madien, pdn, pinkin and everyone else in the tww!
I took my 1st clomid dose last night on cd4. I'm supposed to do 5-9 in the evenings but I decided to do 4-8 instead.
I will have a scan next Tuesday on cd 13. The nurse said I need to have the pregnyl trigger prescription filled but I said the dr was going to wait and see if I need it. I have always ovulated ok with clomid without a trigger so I'm not sure if there are any advantages? Do they increase the chance of conception?
I also don't want to pay $40 for the meds and then not have it be needed. Apparently not all pharmacies have it so I need to decide what to do.
Good luck Purple, I'll be rooting for you! I'm hoping that the Clomid is the magic bullet you need for a sticky pink bean! I think you have a good chance!
Welcome back pbn3 it's been too quiet without all you ladies in here
Good luck hoping you all get your bfp this cycle
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
Hi Purple! Cant wait for your scan next Tuesday! Hope clomid helps get you some awesome eggs for o! When does the doctor decide if you need the trigger? Is it at the scan? I would probably be inclined to fill the script as a just in case?? I'd hate to find out its needed then not be able to find a chemist that has it or has to order it. But I always tend to go overboard on things *sigh (lol)
Thank you beautifulrainbow! How are you feeling? Have you ladies started a dec/jan/feb due date thread yet? I'd love to sub in to keep updated :) until I get to join in for real lol! Hopefully alot of us will be joining you's very soon fx!!

If nobody else has started it I will start it went I have my scan on the 11th. Not far away. I'm still so nervous. And I feel so yuk too. Sorry to complain.Quote:

For the trigger I had to wait till the scan showed a 19mm egg before the prescribed the trigger. Which I don't think the nurse wanted to do because she wasn't sure if I had my sure yet because I had not done an opk for that day yet. I did once I got home and it was still negative so I took the trigger.

Glad your back maiden, I had missed your comments, it is so funny how you start to wonder about people when you dont hear from them in a while! welcome back pbn3. Good luck to everyone who is attempting. AF arrived last night, I could attempt this month but I am really avoiding starting, think next month will mean I would be on the diet longer and at the exercise longer. I am learning so much on the diet and exercise pages. I was snacking all over the place with out realising it, a cup of tea is a snack! Think June may be my month, but have to skip out July as I have two April babies already and dont want a third, plus they were both boys (not that that means anything). Everyone around me is having babies and of course they are all girls, I seem to be the only person i know who can produce boys! my sister in law is just married and I know she will have a girl, even though she is not pregnant yet, my friend is trying for a baby and I just know it will be a girl and my friend has just had her third girl, I mean 3! come on. Other friend her aunt has had her 8th girl, 8? Fingers crossed for all you lovely ladies x
BR complain away! (Not that you are lol) And omg that time has flown! Cant wait for your scan! Totally get your nervousness and would feel the same in your shoes. Your scan must feel both close but a lifetime away!

I really want to get excited but I just can't . I can't wait for the scan to put my mind at rest. I was never nevous like this with my boys. I will be just over 7 weeks do hopefully we will get quite a good shot of little pip. If I get a pic. Which I don't see why not. I will come show you all.Quote:

Sorry af arrived Girlieplease :( its a really hard decision to make when swaying if you feel you've done enough or not, I didn't think a cup of tea would be considered a snack either! Unless you had more than a dash of milk? And get you about girls everywhere!! I had a pang of gd which I thought I was well past when at ds1's swimming lesson. I swear every mum there had a girl, some with pp's and it really struck home how much I would love a daughter if I was lucky enough to fall pregnant. I would also love and welcome another boy but it really stirred up some unwelcome feelings for me....
Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk
Can't wait to see!! And I'm with you I wouldn't be able to feel any relief and happiness until I get that 7 week scan if I get a bfp. Nothing you can do but take it a day at a time until you get there. Hope it goes really quickly for you! If only we could fall asleep and wake up a week later [emoji23]Quote:

Thanks Pbn3, I am so glad of this site, my DH thinks am a freak because we already have a DD, he does not get my perspective at all! BR I think it must be such a mixture of emotions when your pregnant after trying to sway, I never swayed with any of my three. Such a combination of concerns about mc, bean been healthy and then whether it is a girl or boy, exciting and terrifying all at the same time!
I think he decides based on the scan but I had a look at my previous monitored clomid cycles and my follicle was 16mm on cd13 1st time and 18.5mm on cd14 2nd time. Maybe I should just get the tigger prescription filled although I think they probably just want to use the trigger to make it seem like I can't do it on my own and need to pay for more monitored cycles.. haha I'm such a skeptic.Quote:

Purple, I think the trigger is sometimes used to help the follicle mature depending on what's used as the trigger and it helps to release the egg in a timely manner. I was supposed to be doing Femara+trigger+IUI this month (I think the IUI was just thrown in as a money maker) and I think the RE wanted to do the HCG trigger since I O late on my own and she didn't want to risk me O'ing late even with meds. I was supposed to have the trigger done on CD13 which would have been a super early O for me. I think if you don't O late with the Clomid then the trigger wouldn't be necessary but then again maybe it wouldn't hurt to try it?
BR, good luck at your scan! I have mine tomorrow at 6 weeks. I had a nightmare last night about having a miscarriage so I think it's really on my mind...it's definitely a fear of mine. I'm both excited and very nervous about tomorrow. My tests are still really dark and I already got the 3+ result on the CB digital but I'm still anxious! I'm hoping to see my little nugget with a nice heartbeat and measuring right on.
Good too see you back Maiden and PBN, hopefully we can get some BFP's soon. FX
Crappy post O temps but still got my crosshairs this morning, I already feel like this cycle is a bust for me.
I got my +OPK bloodwork back and its disappointing. LH was the highest it has ever been at 63 (previous highest was 48), which necessarily isn't bad but my Estradiol was only 137. It should be around 200 per mature follicle so it really bummed me out this weekend. But I was just reading that the Femara could be the cause of the lower Estradiol number as its job is to keep your level very low, so I feel a little better about this cycle. Hopefully my temp jumps tomorrow.
Hi welcome back maiden and pbn3 , this is cycle 4 for me , 4 is a lucky number for me i think so hoping this will be my lucky cycle :cool:
But im rather confused with my opks! I really wish i could temp for accuracy but dont have a proper sleep pattern for it.
I got what i think was a +ve op on cd9 ?! And since then all ive had is almost +ve opks but not quite as dark as cd9. So im unsure if im gearing up to O or already have. Mmmm time will tell i suppose
Aww essence i feel for you re your partner not wanting anymore, mine isnt 100% either for a 3rd but iv kind of talked him round. Trying to play down how much difference a third would actually make :suprise::suprise::suprise:
Thanks everyone for the nice comments and thinking of me! Here is my chart:

My Ovulation Chart
Pbn3, I was pretty pleased about the much increased volume of the 2nd insemination. But I'm not getting my hopes up or anything. I'm so glad to hear you tried this month!
Purple, I think triggers are great, both for assuring timely O (Oing late in medicated cycles, even just CD17, can negatively affect egg quality, especially if you have any PCOS tendencies) and for boosting odds of conception hormonally, as well as improving the uterine lining. I'd totally get it if it's an option at all!
Girlie, since you got a girl without swaying you may not need to sway as hard as others...I think you would be fine to start TTC this cycle.
tfahn, the Femara should actually increase estrogen levels around the time of O/a few days before, but some women do react atypically. I think you are one of these given your late O and low post O temps on both Clomid and Femara. Maybe you do need injections, and a trigger shot. If all your smazing BDing doesn't do the trick this cycle!
Sharon, everyone has at least one mini LH surge about a week before O. I bet that is what your dark OPK picked up on CD9. When do you usually O?
Oh i didnt know that maiden, your right i bet i O later this week, i used to always O quite late anywhere between cd 21_26 but my cycles have gotten alot shorter for some reason and i now have between 25-28 days and have been Oing anywhere between cd 14+ 18, last month however was a very strange short cycle where i O'd on cd 13 and had an 8 day LP. So dont know whats going on with my cycles , i did try taking vit b6 last month so ive dropped that x
Good luck for your scan ksmom. Hoping to hear good news from you. Which I'm sure it will be. If I had not change the date mine would have been tomorrow too but I really want the best chance of seeing our little pip at sering a baby shape not just a little blip. so prosponed it for a week. But I have the same worries as you. It's real big on my mind this time never really thought about it beforwQuote:
