I'm behind again!

Brynn...

On the other hand, don't give up yet! It could be implantation! Keep us posted!

Miranda...same for you! Don't give up yet...could be implantation for you, too!

to everyone else...I need to go back and read all the posts! Hope you all are doing good!

Well, I woke up this morning and the spotting is back. I know this is going to be gross but I don't know what to think. It is still brown with some clotting and only when I wipe. I really don't want to get my hopes too high and I have no idea when I should POAS. I was looking some things up on the internet about implantation bleeding and I was thinking to myself. This could be it. I could actually be pregnant and I got all teary eyed and tried to calm myself down by telling myself not to get my hopes up.I wish I just knew so I would know if I need to start my new cycle or plan for a baby. aahhhhhhhhhh! I really need to stop!

BRYNN- What is going on with you? Have you poas yet? I think I am going to tomorrow morning. I don't know yet. I am soooooooo confused!!!

Miranda- I am praying this is your month. Did you get a positive on your opk's?

debbie1 · #5 (**permalink**) 02-08-2007, 12:42 PM

Becca - thanks for your feedback on your opk's with clomid. My body reacted similarly...I had two 'almost positives' on cd 10 & 11 followed by 4 negatives, one more almost positive and yesterday (cd 17) I got my positive opk. Although now I am wondering if I have a cyst. I had one in the summer and am having some of the same symptoms. I know that clomid can increase the chance of having a cyst. I hope I don't and the pressure, bloating and discomfort on my right side is from the clomid or ovulation. We will see.

Miranda - no AF is a good sign. My fingers are crossed for you, girl.

Brynn - Just thinking about you today...

MojoLuvsAndy · #6 (**permalink**) 02-08-2007, 01:00 PM

I didn't get a full positive but it was almost as dark on cd 17. other than that nothing. I didn't chart temps either.

I really think I am going to poas tomorrow morning. I might just not drink anything for a few hours and then poas. aahhhhhhhh!

BeccaKay · #7 (**permalink**) 02-08-2007, 01:36 PM

Debbie- you are welcome. I thought I missed my surge when they got lighter before they got dark again, but then they eventually gave me my positive. Messes with your head doesn't it? Are you going to have a p4 test done?

Miranda- I wish you the best of luck testing! Let us know how it goes.

Me- I have a few more days until I can poas. I go tomorrow to have my p4 test done. I hope to get the results back Monday, but I bet it will be Tuesday. I can not wait.

Okay so I officially started today. Af finally became red. I am kind of happy since I had a 33 day cycle and not a 120 day cycle!

Well, now I will take Clomid on Saturday. wooo hooo! I'm not really that depressed about not being pregnant. I think the Clomid worked because I actually had a period on time this month. I didn't get blood work done so I am not for sure if I ovulated but next month I will definately get the blood work done.

Thanks for all your support girls!

everyone, thanks for all the positive thinking!!! for my friends who emailed me, i will respond when i get an extra minute. i really appreciate the thoughts.

miranda. we are the same. i started yesterday too, and also had a 33 day cycle. we're buddies again!!! what days will you be taking clomid this month? i'll start tomorrow.

i don't have time for personals right now, but i'll be back!!

af came yesterday afternoon. i spoke to my doc. i talked her into giving me an u/s on cd14 or 15 to check my follies and give me an idea of when i am o'ing. i'm also taking it cd3-7 instead of 4-8. i've got a good plan for this month and hope this is it! i haven't heard of many women conceiving on clomid after the 4th cycle of it. i'm still going to be taking 50mg as my numbers have been better. please keep praying!

ohsohopeful · #10 (**permalink**) 02-09-2007, 09:10 AM

miranda, i'm an idiot. i just re-read your post. so we're starting clomid on the same day! this has to be fate...

MojoLuvsAndy · #11 (**permalink**) 02-09-2007, 11:51 AM

Brynn It must be! LOL! yay, we are cycle buddies again!!! woo hooo! Yeah, I am going to start tomorrow on the Clomid except I am talking 100 mgs and I am definately going to get my bloodwork this month. Hopefully, we will get pregnant! I do go to the Endocrinologist on March 2 but I don't want to waste a month since I was actually regular this month.

Can you girls believe Anna Nicole died. I was completely shocked. And I don't think she even knows who the baby's daddy is? I think it was a suicide. So Sad!

Gizzy777 · #12 (**permalink**) 02-09-2007, 03:14 PM

Brynn-congrats on passing the test! Sorry af showed though.

Miranda-sorry af came for you as well.

Sorry I haven't been around. I was pretty sick and had lots going on. My 7dpo progesterone was 66, which is on the high end. I know they measure it differently here. I got AF yesterday. So, it looks like Brynn, Miranda and I will all be starting clomid again on Saturday. I hope that means we all get BFPs! I am glad I get to stick to 100mg, the side effects were bad enough last cycle I didn't want to see what 150mg would do to me!

MojoLuvsAndy · #13 (**permalink**) 02-09-2007, 08:35 PM

That is awesome Tammy! We are all three cycle buddies!

MojoLuvsAndy · #14 (**permalink**) 02-09-2007, 09:40 PM

What brand or type of Robitussin do I need to take to help with CM? I am confused!

debbie1 · #15 (**permalink**) 02-10-2007, 01:55 PM

How fun to have 3 ladies who are cycle buddies? You know how they say womens cycles can change to be like each others. How cool! My RE told me that clomid has a 20% chance of achieving pregnancy each cycle. I don't think things work like this but its a fun thought: together you have a 60% chance!!!

I got + opks wed and thurs followed by a - on friday. I am assuming I o'd and will most likely do a p4 on Thursday-ish. I meet with the re for a consult on Tuesday. Dh and are are still doing the 'every other' plan just in case my calculations are not right. In anycase it seems I worried for nothing - as usual. Please think good thoughts for dh and me...

MojoLuvsAndy · #16 (**permalink**) 02-11-2007, 05:48 PM

Well, hopefully one of us if not ALL will get pregnant. I think the Clomid is having a field day with me. This is the second night taking it and I feel hot all over and am getting a headache, so I think I am going to go to bed early!

ohsohopeful · #17 (**permalink**) 02-12-2007, 06:03 AM

we'll be the three cycleteers! this is kinda cool. heck yeah, debbie! i'll take 60%. i wish we could have a poas party. the party favors would be interesting...

miranda- sorry about the hot flashes and headaches. hopefully they'll go away and you won't have to deal with it. it will all be worth it when you see that bfp!!

tammy- what about you? any side effects? i find it incredibly amusing that we're all taking clomid the same days. hope we all see bfp's this month!

becca- ooo, i hope you get your results back today. i can't wait either! i bet your levels are great, considering they were 13 with 50 mg! what day can you poas? bfp vibes to you!

kelli- how are ya? how's the bean? thanks for the congrats. it's very nice to be finished. don't be a stranger!!!

everyone else- where are you? i feel like no one's around anymore! well, not true, but i feel like we lost a bunch of people.

and me, well, i'll take my 3rd clomid pill tonight. as usual, other than being weepier than normal, i have had no side effects. usually hits me the day after i finish. then danny has to watch out! i'm going to call today and schedule my follie scan. i'm so glad my doc agreed to do it. at first, she said that they don't do them for clomid. then she talked herself into it by saying that she'd make sure my p4 levels were a result of ovulation. whatever works! barring illness or tragedy, dh and i are going to do it like bunnies this month. THIS WILL BE OUR MONTH!!!

racechick24 · #18 (**permalink**) 02-12-2007, 06:31 AM

Debbie...

for your RE consult tomorrow!

Miranda...sorry the Clomid uckies found you! Hope you feel better soon!

for this month and that

!

Brynn...so did you do anything fun to celebrate? I can't remember if you said you did or not!

for you too this month!

Me...nothing new....waiting for my next appt which will be next Tuesday. I hope we can schedule that big u/s so we know what we're having!

Gizzy777 · #19 (**permalink**) 02-12-2007, 06:42 AM

Miranda-sorry you are already feeling the effects. I wish they wouldn't be so hard to handle at times, but it will be worth it.

Brynn-I'm just more tired than usual. I only took my second dose last night so ask me again tomorrow and I'm sure I'll be like a menopausal woman again! Clomid is so much fun isn't it? It makes you wonder why some woman really want to use it when they don't need it!

Kelli-how exciting that you are already going to be scheduling the big u/s! You must be very excited about that!

Debbie-I hope your appointment goes very well. I love the way you look at our odds, I will take 60% chance for sure!

I'm trying not to focus on the fact that my doctor will only let me do one more cycle after this before sending me to a different doctor. Does anyone know about staying on clomid for longer than the recommended 6 cycles. Would it be different since it was determined that my first 3 cycles it didn't work (meaning I didn't O)? I just really don't want to go on injectables, I'm not even sure we could afford to do it more than a couple of cycles anyway.

racechick24 · #20 (**permalink**) 02-12-2007, 07:16 AM

Tammy...I wouldn't recommend doing anymore than 6 cycles of Clomid. I did that and when I finally went to an RE...he said my ovaries were shot and looked terrible from the Clomid usage. (I had used it for about 8 cycles) I never wan
