@madisonbee: What do I know though, 23 cycles and maaaayyyybe one CP. So I'm not exactly an expert at how to get pregnant.
-
What does ovulation feel like, if you've felt it? Especially on clomid/femara?
-
@mrskansas: For me it's reminded me of when you exercise too soon after eating or drinking and you get a cramp in your abdomen.
-
@dominobee: hmm that's what I've been experiencing but it's on both sides. And it hasn't even been 24 hours since the trigger so I doubt I'm ovulating yet.
Hopefully tonight! -
@mrskansas: Well it is possible to ovulate on both sides!
-
@dominobee: yeah just unlikely since my left side only had really small follicles but ya never know!
-
@mrskansas: You're gonna have to educate me. Now that you've done the trigger (does that induce ovulation?), what happens after?
-
@madisonbee: once you trigger, ovulation is supposed to happen within 24-36 hours. It has been almost 24 hours now so I assume I'll ovulate any time.
-
@mrskansas: Oooh, gotcha. Thanks for explaining.
-
Proof that Wondfos take forever to darken. HCG probably 2,500 with this test.
-
@mrskansas:
yea, what a pain that must be.
-
I made an appointment with an RE in June. I hope I don't need to see them, but at least it gets me in the door if we do!
-
@madisonbee: Let's hope you don't need it but I'm glad you got an appointment!
@mrskansas: That's crazy!
I started Clomid last night (CD 3). Woke up in the middle of the night sweating profusely, despite the fact that we keep the house at 55 degrees overnight. Really trying to do what I can to stave off the crazies this cycle. Rode my bike to work yesterday to force myself to exercise. It's about a 13 1/2 mile ride round trip and VERY hilly, especially on the way home. I've been thinking about giving Daily Burn a shot, so I might start the "True Beginner" series tonight. Also trying to eat healthy and get plenty of sleep. Probably should try to work some yoga or meditation in there too. Anything to keep me sane so I don't cry or yell at my husband too much!
-
Well I just left work for a two hour round-trip home so we could BD one more time
I think I already ovulated and if so we were only able to do it twice beforehand so hopefully it was enough. I keep reminding myself that it only takes 1 sperm! -
@dominobee: Clomid is not fun. Hopefully it isn't too hard on you this cycle.
-
@dominobee: I hope not too! I'm surprised it's sooner vs later though. I expected sometime around fall. Clomid does not sound fun. If I have to take the Femara, I wonder if the side effects would be similar.
-
@mrskansas: Get it girl! I think you're covered. Go, sperm, go!
-
@mrskansas: Yeah last two times I was on it I was kind of a nutcase
-
@mrskansas: LOL that is dedication!
-
@dominobee: I had one day where I was particularly angry on Clomid but that's all I noticed (emotion wise).
And yeah I wish we would have been able to do it more but I think we will be ok!
-
@mrskansas: I way overreacted at my husband saying something in a slightly rude way both times. Like one time I kicked him out of the car because I felt like he wasn't listening to my concerns! (We were like three blocks from home and I had another errand to run anyway, so it wasn't THAT cruel.) So I'm going to try really, really hard to keep my emotions and reactions in check this month. Agghh I really don't want any fights over stupid stuff!
-
@madisonbee: Clomid wasn't that bad (for me). A few days of side effects is nothing if you plan on being pregnant and having tons anyways.
I've heard that Femara is better and has fewer side effects. -
@mrskansas: Ah, good to know!
-
This TWW is going to be brutal. At least I can't test early due to the trigger shot.
-
@mrskansas: Ah I didn't think of that! When can you test? Or do you just go in for betas if you miss your period?
-
@dominobee: They will do a blood test at 14 DPO. I think I will test out the trigger though so I know whether or not I need to do the blood test.
-
@mrskansas: Oooh wow. I'll be rooting for you!!!
-
@madisonbee: I hope you don't need that appointment, but it always helps me to know my next steps so I think having the appointment scheduled is a good thing.
-
@dominobee: I hope the Clomid doesn't make you feel too crazy! Exercise helps me deal with stress, even just a short brisk walk outside if I can't do anything else.
-
@mrskansas: 2 hours! That's dedication.
-
Hmmmm, just had a huge gunk of EWCM at work. It felt like I peed myself. It feels weird not using an OPK, but I WILL resist!
-
@madisonbee: such a weird feeling but that's good! BD!
-
@mrskansas: My OVIA updates itself based on the data I enter, so it moved up my fertility period from next week to 3/17 - 3/22. We've BD'ed every day since then, so I hope his boys are good swimmers. I'm gonna try not to symptom spot though (yea right).
-
@madisonbee: yay! Sending lots of baby dust your way!!
-
@madisonbee: I'm going to be symptom spotting for the next two weeks whether I like it or not, haha.
-
@mrskansas @madisonbee: Every time I say I'm going to be chill and every time I symptom spot and drive myself crazy.
-
@dominobee: Yup. Luckily (?) I'm on progesterone starting tomorrow so pretty much everything can be from that. The next two weeks I'll have sore boobs and be super tired and may not even be pregnant
-
I'm not sure what my POAS status will be, but I will also join as a cheerleader!
@mrskansas: so glad the clomid worked!
@madisonbee: @dominobee: Thinking of you guys!
-
@mrskansas: I'm doing progesterone this cycle too! Sounds like we have basically the same meds this cycle. I'll be reading in earnest about your experience.
The RE had told me this would be way cheaper than coming in for all the bloodwork, but the progesterone was $60 and Clomid was $10, so $70 altogether! I'm like... how is that cheap? Maybe rich old doctor guy has a different idea of "cheap" than I do.
-
@dominobee: I paid $200 for a month supply of progesterone! The Clomid was only $2 but the Ovidrel was $100.
Basically it's expensive.Oh and my Lovenox that I have to start tomorrow is $8 a day. If I get pregnant and have to continue for 9 months, that's well over $2,000
yea, what a pain that must be.
