hey all hope u are all well,

katie whats this sign i keep hearing about ??

I posted this two days ago...

Do you believe in signs?

I've been sitting here at my laptop, feeling really down and worried. I was going back and forth between this thread and Facebook, talking to you (pink) and talking to a good friend (only one who knows what I'm going through with this)... and then I just stopped for a moment. I just started praying. I prayed God you let you be pregnant and I prayed God would let me be pregnant. (I don't know if you're a spiritual person, but I am.) I said "God, you know what's in my heart, and you know how badly I want a daughter." And I just cried. Then I refreshed my page and the very top post on Facebook was a picture of a little girl with the quote "A daughter is one of the most beautiful gifts this world has to give."

Is it a sign or was it just some crazy coincidence?

It made me so emotional.

Warning long post, sorry I tend to ramble LOL!!!

Morning/afternoon /night ladies! I hope all is well with you all.

I woke up the am to a major temp drop of 97.51, so I knew for sure AF was coming today, but I took a test anyways because AF was no where in site and of course BFN. Getting ready for my ultrasound this morning, of course AF decided to show her ugly face and it is a vaginal ultrasound of my uterus to check for fibroids and anything else that might be keeping us from conceiving. So needless to say, I am not in a good mood with my AF! How embarrassing! I told the u/s tech I just started and was barely bleeding so she said it would be okay to go ahead with the u/s. My uterus is backwards/retroflexed and yes, she found a very small fibroid 2cm or so long, but it is on the outside of the uterus, which is a good thing. If they are inside you have a hard time staying pregnant. This little fibroid could be the reason for my extremely heavy periods that make me anemic, but also my age and hormones could also be part of it, but this fibroid could be making things worse for sure. There is nothing they can really do about the fibroid at this point unless it grows or something like that because they are normally benign. There was no trace of baby so my AF is the real deal. The one good thing about today is that I started my AF and I could tell my doc to give me the prescription for Clomid and got to sit down and discuss it with her. I had an honest panic moment with my doctor though, and it was almost comical so I have to share this with you all because you are the only people who will understand and appreciate it.

Picture it, I am finally getting the girl swaying Clomid after being on Femara that has not worked for me, and was also on Clomid years ago for just a short time and it did not work either. I had HSG and got pregnant with Wyatt a month or so after but with the Instead Cups. Anyways, my doc was writing the Clomid script then she stopped writing, tore off the script and started writing a script for Femara. My palms were actually starting to sweat at this point. My doc was telling me that the Clomid would cause my CM to be hostile and make it harder to get pregnant and other reasons not to take it, so I took a deep breath and just blurted out, “Clomid sways girl” and she said, “Really, I have never heard that before”. So I said, “Yes, from what I am reading in the forums it does and having four boys and desperately wanting a girl, I am trying everything”. So, she said, “you want the Clomid then, and of course I said, “Yes”. My doc said, “That it makes sense that it would sway girl because only the strong sperm would be able to survive”. Then my doc said, "we might as well go ahead and schedule your OB u/s today too right, 'cause you are going to be pregnant this next month right LOL? I wish, hope and pray this happens cause from what I remember of Clomid, ovulation is really painful and your emotions are on your sleeve or crawling the walls while on it, or maybe I am wrong? Ladies how does it affect you all?

So long, story short, I have Clomid to start taking on CD5 and we DTD the weekend of Feb 3 and I get my progesterone blood test on Feb 13. So my sway will be frequent DTD through O, a little SYLK (when do you use it?), low salt and so forth/more veggies diet, BBT temping (should I do OPK’s and my CB monitor?) and pray. What all do you think? Any ideas would be great!

[HopeandDreamG]

KD~ That sounds great!! I'm so glad you spoke up to your doc -you have too!! Great job Sounds like you have things under control. You use the sylk when you are DTD you can put it on DH then it gets in all the nooks and crannies inside you. I wouldn't go overboard with it you want to get preggo quick on clomid. I start mine next cycle and plan to still temp, and do OPK to make sure I O and of course do I know when to DTD! 13 days until your attempt thats awesome!!!

Suregena, I got some crazy night sweats last night too…It’s difficult to explain but I’m hot and cold all at the same time. I’m too hot for the covers and yet I feel like I need to cover up (even though I'm hot). Darn 2ww…I’m trying very hard to just ignore it but it’s tough. We'll just have to from the 2ww together, lol!

Oh, Jen - I really understand your desire to not get your hopes up too much, but night sweats were definitely a good sign for me! I also love your chart - that looks just like an implantation dip you had today!

[Out of the Blue]

…KD, I could picture myself blurting out the same thing to my doctor….Ha, ha. I really like your doctor and you’re lucky to have her! I am crossing all my fingers and toes that you get your BFP in Feb. You sooooo deserve it! Will you do the Diva cup again? BTW, I don’t know if I told you or not but I think using a Diva cup isn’t bad at all, especially if you want to get preg ASAP. Thx for sharing your story…We’re all cheering you on, KD!

Think it's too early for an Imp Dip? I think I'm only 6dpo at the most. Who knows...Honestly, I am just thrilled to pieces that my body finally got things in gear and O'ed. Whew! In about a week, regardless of the outcome, I'll be having a food-a-palooza for a day or two

Rainbowflower~ Is red rasberry tea the same as raspberry leaf tea you were talking about? I bought Bigelow (brand) Red Raspberry Herb tea (caffeine free) is this correct?
