I don't mind you asking. I think I touched off alot of feelings when I asked was I the only one not Christian on the board. I am an Orthodox Jewish woman. As for feeling G-d in my life...I try. I often don't even though I do believe He is there and guiding my life. I have never felt that HE wasn't there...I just wish I knew that he was. The last time I felt it clearly was after my daughter was born. When I pray for what to do about my little boy with his speech issues or about trying again for a third one I hear only silence. I guess I'm not trying hard enough. As you know there are certain tenets of the Christian faith that we do not accept. I didn't ask the question because I was offended by anyone's beliefs. I'm not. I guess I just wish there were someone on this website who shared my beliefs. There is an infertility website for Orthodox jews. I don't think it offers a discussion group like this unless it has changed. I just wondered if there were any of us on the board. I hope noone was offended by the question. Don't feel that you have to refrain from discussing it because of me.

Hi girls. I am new here. I found you guys when I was looking for Ovulex success stories. I was excited to see where some of you have conceived on Ovulex b/c I just ordered me some. I decided not to start it until the first day of my next cycle though b/c I'm afaid of it lengthening it too much if I start in the middle of my cycle. I am 33 yrs old, and my hubby and I have been ttc for almost 7 mos. now. We haven't been tested so not real sure what the prob is yet. I've always had a very regular cycle though. Do you guys think ovulex will mees us up?? Can't wait to join in the friendship here, especially cuz I see where most of you are Christians as well. God bless you!
Kim

Hi ladies. I was wondering if any of you are using or have used a fertility monitor to aid in your pregnancies.
Were they easy/accurate/worth the money?
I am wondering if there is big difference in clear blue easy and clear plan. I see lots of different ones on Ebay and am not sure if its worth the money for the clear blue easy one? Is it even worth getting one at all?
Thanks.

Sammy,
That is a really great way to look at it. I reminds me of something my mother-in-law has been telling me. She has told me since we started ttc that I can't plan out when it will happen, and that I just have to wait until God decides the time is right. It took her 2 years to conceive her first (my DH) and she has 3 kids, she conceived them all without any help. So I guess sometimes you really do just have to be patient and let God decide when the time is right.
Jackie, I am not Jewish but I totally identify with what you are saying. DH and I both pray every night for a baby, and it's been almost a year and nothing. The thing I try to remember is that sometimes God works in mysterious ways. Just because this is something I want so badly right now doesn't mean it's his plan for me or that's it's what was meant to happen. I am sure that God is listening to your prayers, even though the result may not be the one we want, he is listening and He will do what's best. It's hard to keep your spirits up sometimes, though, so I completely understand where you're coming from. That is too bad that there is no discussion group on the Orthodox Jewish website, though. Have you signed up at babycenter.com for the bulletin boards? I don't know if they already have religion specific boards there, but I'm sure there are others who share your faith there because those boards are very large. I would always be willing to talk with you about your faith, but as someone with limited exposure to your religious background, I don't know if it would really be helpful to you or not.

Can we stop carrying on about the christan thing now? we are all in the same boat for the same reason, it doesnt matter what we believe in religously, at the end of the day we are all human and experience the exact same obstacles as the next person .... Thanks!!!

Faith is to believe what you do not see. the reward of this faith is to see what you believe

Hello Kimba:
Going back a few posts. 41 and on Clomid? mmm, that's good for one cycle just to see what the stimulation does via jumping up your quantity of follicle development.
I'll be direct here, at this age, 41, you do not wish to loose more time. THE STATISTICS should be FLASHING NEON WARNING to you by now. I started the whole ART process at 41 after a natural pregnancy and miscarriage at 39. I did one cylce of Clomid and went straight to IVF. The whole testing process and ramp up with meds took me to 42 and I got pregnant. 8 week miscarriage. So one last try on IVF for me shortly. Without IVF, I would have never even gotten close to pregnancy. We also skipped the IUI nonsense.
Personally, given the statistics and time factors involved at age 41, I think it most prudent to move to IVF as straight and fast as possible, PROVIDED all your medical (and hubby's!) checks out quickly. Any clinic that takes a ladi-da approach at your age, is doing you a huge disservice. Again, RUN, don't skip, walk or hop to your clinic and be relentlessly focused on your family goal.
You will have plently of time to think and analyze while you wait for all the testing and ramp up procedures. If you don't work, you might be able to scrunch everything down into 2 months of testing, etc. Again, you are 41 and being super proactive is really the only option if you desire a biological family. I can't be clear enough here given the reality of the statistics. Please feel free to ask any clarifying questions.

43, DH turned 41, ttc 5 years, one natural pregnancy at 39 (mc at wk8), 1st IVF (BFN-Aug05), 2nd IVF (mc at wk eight, Jan06), 3rd IVF (BFN, Aug 06); no known factors other than "old" age

I took your advice. I tried A.T.I.M.E. I did post on one of the boards. I was told that my post would be checked for content and if suitable would be posted. Do they do that on this board that anyone knows of? I checked today and it's not up. In fact, the last time anyone posted was June 22nd. I just don't want anyone to tell me to ask my Rabbi. I do have a rabbi and I do ask him about matters of Jewish Law, like if I have spotting, can I BD or do I have to wait, count the days and immerse. He can't advise me about my little boy and he can't advise me about whether to try again. I already have kids so he can't say I should or shouldn't and he's not the type who's a counsellor, you know. I have to keep calling him and calling him when I have a question about whether the spotting is still menstrual blood or dried blood and can I immerse or not. He's a brilliant man and an expert on Jewish law. But I can't talk with him about personal things. Maybe because I babysat his kids for years. I guess we talk about religion alot because it's so much a part of who we are. It's hard to censor.

I think that your mother-in-law is right that these things can't be planned all the time. I was using a monitor to tell me when I ovulated I wasn't so my DH and I actually enjoyed our selves and made love to each other. It wasn't the BD JOB as I called it after a while I actually thought that I missed out that month.
This is what I wrote on Ovulex VII 4/14/06
I think that I missed out this month I was using my monitor I am at cycle day 22 and it is saying that I didn't ovulate yet. I want to say that I ovulated on Monday I had ovulation pain on Monday night and didn't think anything of it so I guess we will try again next month.
I know that you girls are going to hate hearing this because I use to hate hearing it my self but maybe try to enjoy each other. Keep taking the vitamins that you are taking but maybe the answer might be to enjoy each other. I know it is easier said than done.
I am thinking and praying for all of you girls!!!!!!!!!!
Much baby dust to all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nancy

VolKim (and other new ladies) welcome. We are glad to have you.
In regards to your question most of us who took Ovulex the first month were late between 4 to 45 days and one lady was actually early by 2 days. Don't be surprised if you are not on schedule your first month the Ovulex 800 # told me that you can expect to be about a week late the first month since it prolongs your ovulation cycle. I asked whether you go back to your normal cycle the 2nd month and the 800# said that it is different for each person.
I can tell you that every symptom or side effect I had the first month is completely non-existent this month.
Sammy

How are all of you beautiful ladies doing today?
I'm a little under the weather. I've been waking up every morning feeling like I'm coming down with the flu.
I guess I'll be alright though as the time goes by but man is it hard to just sit there and be sick!!! LOL
jackie,
I think you should invite more women from your religion to this board if you know of any ttc. It might make you feel more comfortable. But I want to let you know that if you need encouragment, support, prayer, baby dust, or understanding then you know that we are all here to help.  That is what this board was made for!
I might post before I leave work today but not sure because I'm kind of swamped but If I don't I'll talk to you all on Wednesday!
God Bless everyone and have a wonderful 4th of July. My dads B-Day is on that day!

Ok, this may sound like TMI, but I am wondering...
what does it mean if your CM is thick and you are very dry? I have had this issue for about 2 days now. I know that EWCM is optimal for conception and I've never really had this issue of being so dry before.
Isn't Ovulex supposed to help produce EWCM? I am on my second full week of Ovulex and although most of my original side effects seem to be dissipating, I am wondering is this could also be a side effect or something... Any thoughts?
