Yahhhh and you're already in my parent tank, lol! I hope that we all get our BFP the same time.....wouldnt that be something??? Welcome aboard!!  

Yay!!! It's about time we had our time!   Are you temping or going to be taking any ovulation tests? Anybody on Clomid?

I dont have any ovulations tests or anything but I have been doing this for so long that I know my body better than a book, lol! I have a whole bunch of hpt and thats it! No clomid, I am just taking folic acid 5mg and iron pills 3 times a day.

Im still doing BBT and OPKs. Taking a mixed herbal tincture, epo and pre-seed, and will possibly be going on clomid next cycle if our situation improves.

Im wondering why im cramping already at cd 7?! I usually get cramps the few days before O, so im wondering if everything im taking is actually gona bring O forward abit. hmm, i guess we shall see, although knowing my luck its just the cysts again!

I am doing Clomid this month. I am also taking the battery of herbs that I usually take. I was sooooo successful on the Vitex, but it takes months to build up in the body and I was pretty impatient. The last couple months without it, a progesterone test showed that I didn't ovulate. So I'm doing this, this month and going to do another progesterone test. I will be doing ovulation tests, so HOPEFULLY everything works out.

How are you, by the way? How is the little guy? Any better?

I just realised your not in my PT! I made an annoucement thing recently, things are not going well at all. I should really do a proper post but it gets me too emotional!

Since Feb fertilty friend said ive only ovulated twice  At least ive got my charts to take to the doc next month! Vitex is in a mixed tincture i take with various herbs that work on improving the pituitary and blood flow to the womb etc. I wish i was just taking tablets though, i hate not knowing how much im actually taking of each thing!

Hope the clomid works first try for you   are they putting you on progesterone too?

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry to hear that! You will all be in our prayers. I hope things work out sooner than later. I couldn't imagine what you must go through.

Well, not sure about whether it will be progesterone or estrogen? I seem to differ each month. Apparently, they give estrogen to help release the egg, and progesteron to help maintain later. We'll see. I'm still hoping that I won't need either. Today is my last day of the Clomid.

I know that I did ovulate with the Vitex, but apparently, others factors come into play. For example the thickness of the lining of the uterus and even the size of the egg that is released. Last month I got a whopper of a cyst and it was even giving me faint positives on my hpts. I just want a stress-free, normal month where I ovulate and all is well. *fingers crossed*

Ugh girl i know exactly what you mean. Its so anxiety provoking never knowing if or when you'll O, its horrible   Ive had 2 nice charts, then the others just dont make sense at all.

With all the cramping and weird periods i get, i really wish they would check my tubes. Is it possible to have cysts in the tubes as well as ovaries?? My u/s only ever showed ovarian cysts, but one side is swollen right now and has been for a while. Icant help but worry it may be something else, like something wrong with my tubes. Even laying in certain positions hurts inside  

I hope this month will be a nice easy one for you. It seems to be taking forever to get those BFPs! There are sooo many success stories from 1st cycle clomid, so im sure you will be one of those  

Here's hoping! Oh, I pulled this link for you. You may find it interesting?

I'm not even stressing this month...just testing the waters. I have heard that the drug works at it's best in the 2nd cyle on it. We'll see?


Melissa

Wow....you girls seem to have so many other things going on in your lives other than the normal TTC. Things get complicated when you have to chart and check and on and on. I am seeing my doctor on Sept 23 to hopefully start progesterone to help me during the first trimester and with the early labour that keeps plaqueing me. I think we all have very unique situations but are all hoping for the same outcome and I pray to God that we are all 2009 Mommas  
Good luck to you all!

Ok ladies.......seems this month things are a little different!! I ovulated on cd 14 instead of cd 18!! I havent done that in at least the past two years. So hubby and I have been bd the past few days and are hoping for a bfp this cycle. I am usually late in getting a bfp on a poas because of ovulating late but I guess where this month is early ovulating that maybe I could get an earlier bfp or bfn  
I will be testing around the 15th!!! How are all of you doing this week????

Thats great, early and you caught it - ya lucky thing!!

We aren't able to TTC cos of our son/financial probs right now, bt im still charting to take it to the GYN next month. Im on CD 17 and still no positive opk  They have been 1/2 positives since CD 13 though, so that is a little worrying. Normally they are mostly totally white or the odd "normal faint line", but these are "dark faint lines" if ya know what i mean?!! Ugh i am SICKof my stupid body and all this fuss   

Hopefully this diff cycle is a sign of your BFP to come!! fingers crossed for you mama

I have never used those ovulating kits or tests because I have always known when I ovulate because I get a lot of mucous.......totally tmi, lol! I am hoping that this month will be the month and that I will be able to carry this time to term. I hope things work out with you and your life so that you can get back on the TTC wagon!!
