Good Morning Ladies!

Well it's a new year and we all have to do our best to get those bfp soon. I hope that this new year is bless with pregnancies. Have Faith!

well I am in my cycle 19 and my temp today were 98.1 they were around 97.7 to 97.9 so I don't know if I am close to O. Three days ago I was having some pain and that could have been O pain, who knows I think that I might be getting close. I'll see what are my temps. tomorrow. I can't wait till I start trying again.

:)

Have a great day!

Love Lili

Hi girls,

Butterflywishes, I bought that book it is very helpful, now I just need more time to read it. Thanks. What cd are you on?

Jade, Hey the book is great, I bought it last week. So af should be here on the 7th for you, it will be really hard to wait until the 11th, maybe test on the 9th and then if - wait until the 11th, thats a long time to wait. I should get af on the 4th? My lp is always 15 days. If I go by when I think I O I'm 14 dpo, if I go by fertility friend I'm only 11 dpo. My temps sat 98.6, sun 98.4, mon 98.5, tues 98.5. If my temps are still high on friday I might test then, I would be 17 dpo. I'm having the same signs as you and leslieann with the cm, mine is also that way creamy, wet like, but not ewcm. Are you having any other signs? My boobs final started to hurt on sat, and they are swollen and hurt really bad today. I hope we can share bfp news this month, Good luck. Are you taking your temps?

Leslieann, I'm having the same cm as you and jade, thats werid, hope we are all preg this month. Do you have any signs? When will you test? If my temps are still high on friday, I might test then I would be 17 dpo and my lp is always 15 days. Good luck. Lets make this our month.

Ange, I'm so glad you got good news, it makes you feel so good when you at least know a reason. How come the re didn't find that out before now? When is your surgrey? I'm so excitied for you. I was so realved when I found out my problem.

Vidia1103, If you have a faint line you are getting close to O. Test 2 times a day, mid-morning and then in the evening, because if you only do it once you could miss it, the book I bought taking charge of your fertility says that the surge might only last 10 hour so you cound miss it if you dont test twice. Good luck.

Lilmama and Judith is hoping, welcome to our group, it nice to have you. Baby dust to you.

Lili, I hope O day come soon for you. Keep taking those temps. I'm praying for the last af to come fast. Thanks for all your support!

I'm still praying for all of us, God will answer my prayers, we well get a bfp soon!!! Thanks to all you wonderful ladies for listen to me and giving me advice, I couldn't make it though this with out all of your support. Love you all.

Okay, so I didnt get my progestrone today. My dr sucks. When I went they told me it was too late. That the results would be invalid. I was so mad.

But I had a new appt with an re. Then I went to my RE. I love him. I am so glad I went. So he sat me down and talked to me about my issues. I told him how I wasnt happy with my dr bc they werent monitoring me closely being on clomid. I gave him todays example with the prog. test. So then he gave me the facts. He said #1- that clomid doesnt work well with skinny people. ( i am pretty skinny) He said it can have adverse effects.
#2- that today would have been the earliest they could have done a prog. test. That if they would have done it any earlier it would have said I didnt ovulate. also that prog test should be done in morning not afternoon.
#3. i did ultrasound today and found i did release an egg (YAhoo) but that my lining was too thin. 8mm when it should be 10mm (boohoo). So it looks like preggy is out of the question this cycle. I go tomorrow morning for a prog test though to make sure the clomid caused the thinning of the lining.
so next cycle i will be using femara. Same idea as clomid-less side effects. I am so excited. He sounded so positive.

Nancy- I have been temping. I started after O with 98.0, 98.1 for a few days. Then Just a few days ago went up to 98.5, 98.7 so even though my temps are looking triphasic I dont think it happened this month due to the lining issue from clomid. I do have really tingling boobs which is unusual for me. I dont ever get sore boobs. Sounds promising for you. So you think you may test Friday? I can hardly wait to hear your news. I hope I am right there with you, but i think maybe next cycle for me.

Lili~ Wow. SOunds like you are really close. I know you are totally on the count down for AF. I hope it comes quick.

Cali & Butterfly~ How is everything? Any new? What cycle day are you on?

Hey ladies I was just wondering since I am getting close to start trying again. I was thinking if I should start trying right away or should I wait a few more months? Please give me some advise. I kinda worry about my last m/c and wonder if it's ok if I should try right away, doctor told me to wait two normal periods and I did am waiting for af #2 which will come soon I think and I want to know what you might think.

Thanks love you all and hang in there Jade your turn will come sooner than you think. Atleast you have a good RE and that you are happy with him so hang in there and if it's not this month it will be the next.

Happy New Year Ladies!!! I hope we get a lot of bfp's this year!!!

Renee ~ I am glad that you bought the book! I love it and think it is a GREAT resource for those ttc. I am excited for you and am praying you get that bfp real soon.

Jade ~ It is so great that you found a re that you are comfortable with. I believe that is so important! I am hoping you get that bfp really soon!

Lili ~ I think that as long as af #2 is regular, there shouldn't be a prob. with trying (as long as your doctor said it is ok....) GL to you, hun. I am praying for you!

Well here is my story...
Since I have been charting, I've noticed some surprising things....

I have been having very low temps for the past 4-5 days. My temps have been between 96.6-97.0. Has anyone else experienced temps so low??? Well, I am on cycle day 12 and my fertility monitor showed a LH surge this morning. The weird thing? My temp this morning was 98.0 (up from 97.0!!!) Part of me thinks the temp was altered by some SERIOUS stress that I had yesterday (I pretty much had an anxiety attack followed by VERY VERY restless sleep....) If I am now having a LH surge, my temp shouldn't have jumped so high, because that would indicate that I ALREADY ovulated!!! So, I am going to take my temp tomorrow morning and see if it is still up. If so, I don't know what to think b/c
#1 if my fertility monitor is just now showing a LH surge, why would my temp go up from 97.0 to 98.0???? That would mean that I ovulated and it doesn't make sense!

#2 I am only on cd 12 and that is SUPER early for me to have already ovulated on cd11!

#3 I have had left sided ovarian pain tonight, which usually indicates that I am about to ovulate.

#4 I have also noticed that my cm went from creamy/lotiony to now very slippery and watery, but no ewcm. I am starting to wonder if I have a problem with my cm.

Boy am I so confused and frusterated!!!! Things aren't correlating appropriately with my charting and I am beginning to think that I have some hormonal problems as well as cm problems... Can anyone else relateto any of these issues???????

Not to mention, dh and I can't bd until tomorrow!!! ARGH! Atleast tomorrow should still be a "peak" day according to my fertility monitor.

Someone please HELP before I lose my mind! :(

Sorry to sound so frusterated.....

Blessings and Babydust!

Well my temp was 97.0 this morning, so I am assuming that my anxiety/restless sleep the other night is what contributed to the false elevated temp. Has anyone seen this before???

Much love and Many Blessings!

Hey everyone!

Hopefully everyone had a great New Year's Eve and Day! Is anybody close to testing? AF is due for me on Friday but I'm waiting until Sat. to test (unless AF shows up, of course). I haven't had too many symptoms, except I've had a lot of watery/white cm.

Well ladies my temp. today was 97.9 so I don't know I guess I still haven't O yet and I am in CD 20 today I usually go far to CD 26 or close to that when I O so I am getting close.

Butterly,
Thank you for your advise! :)

Leslie,
I hope that this is your month. I will be praying for you, Good Luck this month! :)

Renee,
How are things with you, when do you test?

Jade,
I know that I am getting closer but getting scared at times but with faith everything will be alright.
:)

Take care,
Love Lili

Lili~ I think that you will be fine to start trying again after AF. The dr knows best and he wouldnt have told you otherwise. God will take care of you.

Leslie~ I am due for af sunday. I would really like to wait 18dpo to see if my temps are still high before testing, but I know i dont have the patience for that. I am so anxious to test now!! Re said most likely didnt happen this time bc the clomid caused thinning of lining. it was 8mm and should have been 10. SO..... I guess i will start femara next cycle. I will pray that you get your bfp this month.

Renee~ ANy news?

Butterfly~ Did you take mucinex this cycle. That caused my temps to really increase. It could be stress though.

Ok well I finally got a positive on my ovulation test today hooray! I have been trying to do everything perfect so hopefully it works this time with the help of ovulex. The next to weeks are going to go by so slowly.

Hello All,

I hope your New years was loads of fun! Any good news on BFP. I had a hard new years day both my SIL and my cousin are pregnant and my cousin is a nurse so we were talking about my two uteruses. LOL she is talking about greys anatomy and how funny amazing the episode was and also a woman last year in the hopital where she works gave birth to triplets and had 2 uteruses.

Well I kept my chin up and laughed and had some wine OOPs!

Renee, I am praying for you. We need some good news. I don't understand why they haven't seen it before I kept telling the doctor that he made it sound like they should have noticed it. But they didn't .... I am calling on Friday to get my appointment to remove it.

Lili good luck on the ovulation you are in my prayers. When are you going to TTC again?

Jade, I hope you get a bfp you are in my prayers

Vidia, congrats on the +opk

Take care Baby dust!

Jade, So the med. femara, is that a pill or a shot? I used clomid before and I only made one egg, I wonder if it didn't work for me, because I'm also tiny. Please let me know more info about that drug, so if I have to do iui I can maybe ask for that instead of clomid. I makes you feel so good when you find the right doc.

Lili, I think you should try after this af. God already has your time planned. Go for it!!! I will test on friday.

Butterfly, I'm sure your temps was up from your stress and not sleeping well. You O in the last day of the ewcm. I bet you are getting close to O. I have never had temps that low before, the lowest mine get are 97.6. Take your temps tommorrow and let me know what it is. Thanks for the prayers, I'm also praying that this is your month. Sorry I'm behind, I'm glad your temps are back to normal, O should be right around the coner.

Leslieann, I think I will test on friday if temps are still high. Good luck lets do it together.

Vidia, Congrats on the +opk

Talk to you tommorrow, My temps today was 98.5, see what tommorrow brings.

Renee

butterfly wishes- I was searching around on the internet about something fairly similiar to your question and I read that you should rely on your monitor rather than the temperature- the high temp was probably just caused from the stress. If I can find the site again I will post it for you.

RNORST- TY for your advice. was only testing mid morning. so i MIght have missed this one.

Renee~ Femara is a pill. Same idea as clomid. Take day 3-7. No increased risk of multiples and no bad side effects (like clomid). It is actually used for people with breast cancer. SO...... I am excited to try something else. I had thin lining caused by clomid, but I did release an egg. So bitter sweet I guess. OH well, next month.
2 days until testing for you.... I cant wait for some good news.

Ange~ That sucks about your fam being pregnant. I always feel that way at work. Everyone there is pregnant. I just cant get away from it -so my holiday was great bc I didnt have to see them all....lol What is new with you? Do you have any more tests or are you ready for IVF?

Vidia~ Great news about o. I hope this is your month. How long have you been trying?

Jade & Renee,
Thank you girls for your advice. I will do that as soon as I can I will start trying. I mean after this af comes I am all ready for and I should start planning right away. I know that it might take a while for me to get pregnant again. I don't know that I am so lucky to get pregnant right away but will see what happens hope that this time I don't take long. I will do my best so that I can get that bfp soon. I will continue to take my temps and my prenatal vitamins and start taking green tea aswell because I know that it helped me last time. I will also buy more of those opk so I can get a better idea of when I will be O.

Ange,
I know what you mean girl. It seems that everyone else is pregnant except us. :/ I don't know whats going on but lets keep our hopes up and have the faith that our turn will be coming sooner than we think. I beleive in miracles and I know it will happen to us. Lets be positive.
We are not to sure yet but my dh sister might be pregnant because she has that look but she hasn't told us anything about it.
Another one is my best friend and she just gave birth to her third child and it's a girl she had her very early this morning and I am happy for her but can't understand why it's not me.
ALso my aunt is pregnant with her third one as well and she is due in February so it seems that everyone is pregnant except me and they are healthy pregnancies and I don't know why? I know what you all mean about everyone else being pregnant except us, why is that?
But soon our turn will come, lets have faith sisters, everything is possible.
Ange I will wait for this af to come and then I will start trying again. :)

Leslie,
Stay relax and you'll get good news. I can't wait to her about your bfp! I am thinking of you girl. It's about time! have faith!

Lots os baby dust our way!!

Love you sister,
Lili
