Yea, it gives me headaches, hot flashes, and makes me SUPER emotional! And I took Estradiol this cycle as well, it's an estrogen supplement that a very cool new member who is an RE recommended I try, and that made me even more emotional. I'm like a huge estrogen monster right now! But watch your cycle closely with opks, because the Clomid makes me O like clockwork on CD13, both months before. This month may be different with the Estradiol....I got a near + opk late yesterday (CD11) which is a day early, but I am thinking they will be way positive today, CD12, like clockwork, and we will have a nice 3 day abstinence which will hopefully help. I don't think I'm going to continue the Clomid, though....no point, really, especially since we may take years to conceive at this point.

Hey dear!

Me too lola very emotional! I'll be watching my cycle very closely I HOPE I get a +OPK soon ..I just hope, My cycle is very irregular.

Three days of abstinence is the best amount of time, Hopefully one of them did it.

hi all,just thought id keep you updated.well im cycle day 13 and i have a sneaking suspicion i o'd a few days ago,just cos i was getting quite a bit of cm etc but as it was a bit earlier than usual,i stupidly didnt do an opkim using the smileys.does anyone know if the lines on them (when you take the stick out)are anything to go by because when i started them yesterday,the line was darker and now its still there but lighter!!! i usually get a smiley on day 14(tomorrow) and o on 15 but worried since my chemical,i may be out of whack! i may just be over thinking,not really sure.anyway,i'll take them tomorrow and let you know.

I'm late, but I just want to say that yes I watch the lines when I take the stick out. It gets darker when its positive, then lighter when it turns nagative. I hope you didn't miss your surge! Good luck hun.

SO EXCITED FOR 3PNB TODAY!!!!!!

Jane, can't help you out much with the smilies, as I use old ICs, but I agree with Skrimpy, that is early to O.....just keep testing and watching your cm. GL!

Hobber, I wouldn't worry at all about the hot springs thing. If you guys dtd for 6 days in a row and got a boy, he's got a good sperm count (LUCKY!) so don't worry about it! Was quite a while ago also...I wouldn't get in the hot springs while you were doing it, but otherwise, its no big deal. I truly believe you will be just fine!

Skrimpy, she is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

ITA with Lola!!! Hobber you conceived your boy without swaying and now you are swaying. I think you have a really good chance for another one x

I dont know why I had so many ewcm days this month. I even had it for like 2 days after O. And I had this never ending O.This cycle was just different. O was late too...I think from the fertile cm.
Yes we did try but no bd on O day (by accident) only 4 and 2 days before. so well see...DH says to stop ttc...or if yes just 1 more try and that's it.

The cycle I concieved my DS was so different too. I had TONS of EWCM, and late O, I also think its from fertile cm, that's why I don't wanna take it again. FX for your BFP!!

Your timing was good. I really think the diet more important than timing ..don't worry about it.

I added coq10 and grape seed to me supp's.

I hope you get your BFP very soon. Good luck.

I agree with Flava Hobber, I can't believe the springs 72 days ago could have done that much damage! But the BD plan sounds good. I don't know that October is really "magic" LOL ... I mean I do think seasons sway somewhat, but not a ton. I have loads of friends with summer girls. Heck, I'm a summer girl Either way I just hope everything lines up so you can feel confident in your sway!

MFC I don't know about the not finding out! DH is adamant about it, because he's always wanted a surprise, from before we ever even had our 1st child. And I've always wanted to know, and I've always won that But I want to give him his surprise this time. And for awhile I thought a surprise would be better for me bc I was so concerned about having GD if I heard "girl" before delivery ... but now I actually think I'll be fine, not as thrilled as hearing boy, but really not at all upset if I hear girl. So part of me just wants to know now. In my ideal world the sono or my doc will mess up and spill the beans, and then I get to find out without it being my fault

Flava how are you feeling these days? Any symptoms?!?

Iluv you're causing me to fret!!! Get on here and update us. FX all went well yesterday!

Jen the suspense is too much! I know you're on pins and needles trying to wait, is DH as excited?

Wow Begoina, LOL..I think it would be so nice to have a surprise baby, but I just can't wait that long ..I don't have the willpower to wait ..I just can't lol. Let see what happens with you. Will you be having an ultrasound coming soon?

[My Fabulous Children]

I don't understand the life cycle of the sperm is all. I am just not sure I want to take a chance on using sperm that may have been damaged by so much heat. I know they aren't all dead, but I worry that they won't be quite right. We don't usually go hot tubbing or to the hot sprongs--this was a one time deal--so I sort of feel inclined to wait it out. But I know, it is always goin to be SOMETHING, and I am getting old, and it is "boy season" so I need to get on this TTC thing! I will see what the opks say as the cycle goes on. Maybe it will work out. I have been taking supps, but I think the Fertile CM and EPO together were what made my cycle so short! I will pick one and just stick with it for next cycle.

Skrimpy--what a cute baby!

Jane, good luck this cycle. Hope everything is back to normal.

Flava--how many DPO are you? Has DH made a decision yet about the TTC next month if you are not pg this ycle?

Anyone heard form Iluv yet???

Lola--when do you stop the clomid? I hope something good happens this cycle, and you don't have to worry about it anymore!!

MFC--why are you on clomid?(if you don't mind me asking)

3PNB--how many days? 2?? Are you bouncing off the walls with excitement??

Tink, how s your attempt going?

Lets wait and see ..So the EPO and Fertile CM made your cycle short?! I wish that would have happened to me, lol really these supp's made my cycle very long!

I'm taking Clomid to make me ovulate (Hopefully). I'm having hard time ovulating.

[My Fabulous Children]

Thank you! I'm feeling OK. I'm really ready to get my energy & appetite back. Other than that, things are going well.

So glad all is well ..Did you post your sway?

[My Fabulous Children]

Thanks MFC, fx for your attempt next month.

Awe Skrimpy she's gorgeous, love those cheeks!

Lola- nope darlin' not today Friday

B- I'm excited but also scared sh*tless. DH is in Texas on business till Friday morning but he's super excited, finding out is by his insistence after all.

Iluv- so the scan went well?!


Omg ladies 20 wks tomorrow and u/s Friday, I may explode!

GOOD LUCK Jen, I really really really hope you hear blue!!!

[My Fabulous Children]

Here we go ... I just took it, LOL, and I think it looks bigger in person

You look GREAT.
