Hi Ladies how is everyone doing? - had my day12 u/s this morning and things didnt look good.I had 5 mature 16-23mm follicles and bsaically dr said to cancel this cycle because risk of multiples is too great. I'm so bummed. I guess 100mg dosage was just too much for me.

Sarahdaisy - i totaly am the same way. Some months i feel so optimistic and other times im so negative. Infertility has been one of the hardest things I've been though...it's like every month you are reaminded of failure when your AF shows, your dreams crushed and then everything starts all over again!

[nikki'smommy]

Skyhopes..I'm sooo sorry....you can still BD at your own risk, the dr just doesn't want to be held responsible for multiple births...what if this is your only chance?...2= Twice the joy!!
SENDING LOTS OF YOUR WAY!!!!!!!!!

[Lauralillies529]

Thanks everyone!!

Skyhope ~ If I were you I would BD like crazy!! You could still release 2...3...4... eggs. Get to it girlfriend!!

Nikkismommy ~ Definately buddies!! I had my surge last Sat and O'd on Sun. You are right behind me. Im not having U/S either, not on 50 mg. Did you feel yourself O? I definately did.

Heres to for all of us this cycle

[skyhope]

Lauralillies529 and nikki'smommy - thanks so much for your comments - we have decided to BD anyway! I think i could be ovulating either today or tomorrow.Thanks for your support. I have you in my prayers laides and hope we all get this month!

I am all new to this. I hope this is my month. I started this new venture on my 5th wedding anniversary 6/26. This was my second round of IUI and First round of Clomid 50mg. I started clomid on 6/29 and took it for 5 days. I had three good eggs and went today for the second IUI for this cycle. The side effects were not as bad as i expected. I had hot flashes only when I would move around and the most annoying was the pressure in my stomach. It felt like someone was sitting on me. If you ask my DH, he would say I was more moody than normal. I have a question for those who are going through the IUI. How are you DH handeling the process. My DH at times tells me I am milking him. Its really hard because it takes the romance out of it. I feel like it is causing a little tension between us. Advice would be great.

I hope you all have and bueatiful babies.

[sarahdaisy]

Today is CD 19 for me... what about everyone else? Also, what day are you all going to test on? This is my first month on clomid... and prior to this month, my husband and I've been TTC naturally. My cycle is so unpredictable, I don't ever really know when I'm "late." My cycle is anywhere from 25-34 days long, with the average being 29. Should I test on day 29? I don't know if I can wait that long. How early can I test? I would be so happy if just one person here got their BFP this month. I'm not feeling much like I'm pregnant .

[nikki'smommy]

Hello everyone!..I'm on CD 21....experiencing sporadic hot flashes,, but nothing serious.So how's everyone doing?......

Deanna8107

Skyhopes....I'm sooo happy you & DH decides to continue with this cycle!!! GGOD LUCK!!


Sarahdaisy.....I think you should start poas on CD 29, with that being your avg. I know the 2WW is excrutiating!, but I'm in onthe ride with ya!!!
Baby to you!!

EVERYONE GETS A

[Lauralillies529]

Deanna ~ This whole process is so stressful. Ive never had a IUI but let me say 3 mature follies is wonderful for 50 mg. You go girl!!! My DH doesnt want to hear about it all the time. Boys are just diff in general I think. They dont have that longing to be a parent. So I try to have my time on here and them not really think about it. It has helped me soooo much this month.

Sarah ~ Did you use OPK's?? Or feel yourself ovulate?? I would wait to test for 14 days after ovulation.

Nikkismommy ~ Sorry yours is dragging by.

AFM ~My 2WW is flying by. I really havent been thinking about it much. And not obsessing and thinking about it ALL the time really has helped. I have no clue what cycle day Im on. I just know Im gonna POAS Mon.

Hello to Everyone!

Thank you all for your encouragement! I'm so thankful for this forum! I've been kinda bummed about this cycle, so I think I haven't been as positive as I could have been. I realized that it's easier for me to expect the BFN then to hope for the BFP and then be disappointed. So right now I'm hanging out in the land of "I hope I'm pregnant, but not too hopeful." It's a hard place to be.

I'm going to test Saturday, CD 26, which could be too early, but my cycles are so varied! And I can't stand the wait any longer than that. Right now, my body is confusing me. I feel nauseous and hungry and tired, but it could be just me getting the flu or something. It's so aggravating that I'm feeling this way today! It could be pregnancy or some illness, who knows!!

Babydust to everyone!! Here's to !!!

[skyhope]

Hello ladies...how is everyone doing? I'm on CD18 today and no real symptoms to speak of.
Sarahdiasy- I know exactly how you feel I've been kind of negative about this cycle as well. Just yesterday I found out my friend is pregnant with her 2nd child. Even though I'm happy for her it was really hard on me- I pretty much cried the entire evening. I sometimes wonder if it will ever be my turn!
Sending lots of babydust to everyone's way!

[sarahdaisy]

Skyhope- I totally understand. I feel a twinge of sadness EVERY time I find out someone I know is pregnant. Right now, between my younger sister and I, we have 6 pregnant friends! And last year, my older sis, and my sis-in-law, both announced they were pregnant. THAT was really tough for me. I am happy for them but sad for me, too. So I understand.

This will be your first baby right? I really believe it will happen for you! There are so many success stories on this forum, women that have gotten pregnant on round 2,3, or 4 of clomid! I really hope this is your month!! Wouldn't that be wonderful? I think I'm going to hold out and not test until 28th. Ahhh!!! That will be hard, but it's only 4 days from now.

I've been crying so much the last two days, partially due to the fact that I'm not feeling well, I'm sure, but also due to the pain of this process! TTC is so hard! It may be one of the hardest things we as women ever have to go through! When I let myself realize how painful it is for me to not be getting pregnant, I'm actually surprised. I keep the pain hidden so well sometimes, that I forget how it really is affecting me. Anyway, that's why I've been crying!!

My sis-in-law just reminded me that I have peace because of Jesus. I'm a believer, but I still feel so alone sometimes! It was nice to be reminded that because of Him, I can rest. Even when life does not feel restful!

Hello everyone!
I think I am right with most of you CD17 today! It's nice to find a forum when we are all close to the same cycle days.

I think I have ovulated based on positive OPK's and high BBT the last few days. Will find out next week if I did or not. I hope everyone gets a soon!

Sarah ~ You put your emotions into words so well. It is so hard to hope and hope for month after month. It is so much easier to not hope. I hope you get your soon and be done with this IF garbage.

Skyhope ~I feel the same way when I hear of someone getting pg. I get a pain in the pit of my stomach. Except for the girls on here, they have been through so much and I am genuinely excited for them. Best of luck to you too.

Nikkismommy ~ How are you doin??

Anyone takin oral progesterone?? I normally do great with meds but this makes me very dizzy for about 20 min an hour after I take it. Its scary, especially at work.
