New year babies !!TTC Pink in May

[girliedreamz]

Oh, lyagirl, that sucks! I had a super long cycle last time I took clomid. No fun.

Question for those on clomid: how long were you TTC before getting on clomid? Do you have to be a certain age or go a certain amount of time before a doctor will consider it for you? I'm only 30 but I got pregnant on my first cycle TTC with my two kids so going on month 5 without a BFP is starting to concern me.

Hi ladies!

We have made our attempt for april/may! We did it last night even though I didn't get an opk+ cause I panicked and thought we missed O. Saturday I got a little EWCM and cramping and I thought it was close. The cervix felt a little bit softer (sorry TMI!) but still no opk+ even though line was pretty strong. Then yesterday line got fainter, I was superdry, no ewcm at all (but that could be the effect of a vaginal stuff I took with pH 4,5), cervix felt a lot more closed and hard and I started googling those cheap opk:s I have. Seemed a lot of ppl got strong lines, but not fully positive even though they hav O, so I got so scared we missed our chance. Then I figured why not just bd in case I would have O:ed just recently and would still be fertile, otherwise it would be an early attempt.

But today I got the opk+ (of course). Since one attempt is getting such good results we will stick to yesterdays attempt and hopefully it's not too early. Cervix is super soft (sorry TMI again!) but no EWCM so I am skipping antihistamines.

I am so hoping to get pg now, just wanna get off the diet and swaying!

best of luck marika! I think the timing of your attempt is just fine!

[stephk]

Sounds like perfect timing good luck!!

[Marika]

Thanks Rosie and stephk!

[girliedreamz]

Hey ladies! Looks like I'm in for May as well, started spotting today April was a crazy hard month for me physically but I hope May is lucky for all of us! I'm still deciding what to add/change. I did mucinex every day last month and upped my fluids but my body hates me! Had to switch my diet up to deal with Sjogrens crap so I really hope things work out pink if/when we ever get pregnant! Our boys took 3 cycles and this will be 6 for us 👎 hubs was asking about adoption tonight, which I'm not opposed to at all (I'm adopted)...but I really want a newborn and I'm afraid that's not in the cards if we try to adopt :-/

bethwade, hope may is your month! Sorry your body isn't really cooperating with you :-(


I am getting scared we did the attempt too early after all. Opk was still positive this morning, about the same strength of line as last night. Wondering when the egg will actually release? And when cervix is getting soft, is that when the little swimmers go inside waiting for egg, or do they start their journey even before (but how, guess the cervix is closed)?

Oh, maybe we should add an attempt on thursday morning, 3,5 days after last attempt? Just in case I O late? (But by then I would probably have o:ed already.) I don't know, feeling a bit stressed and wanted to up my chances of pg this month...

[Marika]

Ok, had to write down possible scenarios for this ovaluation. Unfortunately I am not temping so I can't rely on that (seem like a good way to know when O has occured!)

Sunday 11 pm - BD (opk neg)

Monday 8 am - opk strong but neg
Monday 6 pm - opk+

Tuesday 8 am opk+

Instructions on my opk says that O occurs within 24-48 hours after +, that would be from tonight until thursday morning? Or should I only count from first +opk? That would be on wed night at the latest. One attempt with three day cut off - not great chances of getting pg right?
