Hellobee Boards

Cycle Day: 25
TTC Cycle #: 18
Ovulation and POAS dates: Ovulated on either 10/17 or 10/18
POAS: 11/1
Baby #: 1
Your plan: I began Clomid (50 mg) this cycle even though I ovulate regularly. I'm hoping the Clomid helped me achieve a stronger O this cycle. I've been ok for the most part but now I'm in the TWW, I feel like I have so many symptoms but I hear Clomid can mimic pregnancy symptoms. If this cycle doesn't work, I may do one more Clomid cycle and move on to IUI.

Favorite Thanksgiving Dish: I absolutely love the sausage stuffing and of course my butternut squash soup!

Good luck to all the November ladies

Is this a ttc board or a clomid board? I'm right behind you two. @lovehope @doxielove

CD: 5
Ttc cycles: between 15-18cycles. I took a few months of ntnp after ectopic
Ovulation: 11/7
POAS: 11/19
Baby: 1
Plan: back on clomid after two months off. I got pregnant on days 3-7 w clomid and I accidently started on day 4. I know the days are really physician preference so hoping it *really* doesn't matter. Will try TI every other day but our work schedules include a lot of traveling. Will be lucky to hit two days.

Favorite dish: green beans and corn! Both are grown on my uncles farm and always SO good!

Hello ladies. Unfortunately, I'm rejoining you guys on the TTC board. I'm just a cheerleader this month though.

I just had a D&C on the 13th, so I'm in the waiting period. I don't see my doc until the 4th, but I'm sure she'll tell me I have to wait 2 cycles to try again. That's what she told me after my CP last year. Hopefully you all will be long gone from the TTC boards by then.

Wishing you all the best of luck in November! And I'm filling this out just so I feel like I'm part of the group. Lol.

Cycle Day: 15 days post D&C
TTC Cycle #: Not even sure anymore due to wonky cycles. Started TTC in August of last year.
Ovulation and POAS dates: Probably around February? Lol. Hopefully none of you will be on a POAS board by then.
Baby #: 1
Your plan: Rest. Heal. Try not to obsess over when my period is coming back.

For fun: What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Green bean casserole!! I actually HATE most Thanksgiving food. I like turkey, but only with chili sauce. No gravy! And my husband and his twin always make deviled eggs. I eat way too many of those. Lol

@LoveHope: you have a better willpower than me! I always test early.

@northstar hope stim meds go smoothly!
@krzyriver I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll be curious to the reasoning behind waiting two months from your OB. (Unless just psychological reasons). I have two friends deliver healthy babies from getting pregnant immediately after MC. Never had another period. My OB have the okay to try again right after our loss too. I always find it interesting the different schools of thought between docs.

@LibbyLou: My RE is one of those who thinks it's better to wait. She sees a higher number of MCs when people get pregnant immediately. I've heard so many different things from so many different people, so I just did what she said before. This time I might not wait tho. We'll see

Cycle Day: 6DPO
TTC Cycle #: 2 years, lost count
Ovulation and POAS dates: 11/8 if I get that far
Baby #: 1
Your plan: femara/ovidrel, continuing cabergoline, synthroid, and prednisone. We were going to do IUi#3 but scheduling did not work out well with he RE office, DH and I didn't have a good feeling so we just did TI. We had great timing this month so we will see. If this is negative, we will do IUI#3.

For fun: What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Baked apples and stuffing.

@KrzyRiver: I'm so sorry. I'm still dealing with one I had in August, so be kind and patient with yourself.

@LibbyLou: I was told to wait after both my miscarriages due to a higher likelihood of miscarrying if you get KU right after. My dr explained it had something to do with a thinner lining, especially after a D&C.

Cycle Day: 8
TTC Cycle #: who even knows. It's been over 2 years, nearly 2.5
Ovulation and POAS dates: hopefully ovulate next weekend, which is perfect timing for our anniversary! (And marks 2 years since the first time I got pregnant on our first anniversary)
Baby #: 1
Your plan: Try naturally. Going in for RPL blood work today, dr won't get me back on clomid until we get the results back.

For fun: What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Cranberry sauce!

@Crystal: oh that makes sense!
@lovehope oh boy, what is your gut feeling? You think pre AF or maybe implantation?

@KrzyRiver: so sorry you're back here too!

All the best in November ladies. I'm on CD11 or whatever you call it after a mc. We will wait til after AF to start trying.

I mentioned in the October thread that we have been referred to the fertility clinic and a couple of you asked about it. We have never done fertility treatment before! I'm not sure what to expect. Our appointment isn't until December 21st. We have a healthy DD and have had two miscarriages and our TFMR for Turner's Syndrome. I am not sure if we have bad luck or if there is something else going on. I'm a little relieved to be going to the fertility clinic to be honest. I feel like we are doing something proactive.

@KrzyRiver: I had to wait 3 cycles after our D&E in December. Right now I'm in a waiting room waiting for my follow up scan. My fingers are crossed my mc was complete after the misoprostol. I was wanting to avoid another procedure.
I always hear different rules about how long to wait after a mc. I think it's good you are following your doctor's advice!

@Crystal: I know. I'm not very good at being patient or kind to myself. Lol. After 3 years, 2 MCs, and a CP, it's really difficult to be patient. It doesn't help that my husband's ex is trying to get pregnant too. My son has been asking for a little brother or sister for years, and since she made my husband a dad, I really wanted to make my son a brother. So I feel like I'm in a race with her to get pregnant. It's frustrating and makes me want to just ignore what I know my doctor will tell me. I know that's awful and a lot of pressure to put on myself, but I can't seem to shake it.

@delight: My follow up is Wednesday. She told me two cycles after my CP but idk if she'll make me wait longer since I had the D&C. I really hope not cause I'll be more tempted to ignore her if she does. Lol. Let us know how your appt goes!

@doxielove: You don't eat the cranberry sauce?!?! We fight over it!! Lol

@doxielove: thanks. The scan wasn't that great

My lining is still too thick and they can see blood in my uterus so i haven't completely miscarried. They're giving me another week and then I'll have to do another round of miso. I'm starting to track my hcg now too and it's at 350. Hopefully next week it will have gone down a lot. Such a pain. I just want to move on.

@Crystal: I'm sad to be back but I love you ladies. It seems like lately it has been tough to get graduates in this group. I hope the next couple months show more positive results for everyone !

@KrzyRiver: good luck at your appointment this week. I don't think I'll get my period any time soon with my HCG still up. I might have to bite the bullet and do a D&C.

@delight: Im so sorry. It's hard enough and now that. Hang in there. Hugs.

@KrzyRiver: I know I probably should have done a D&C but honestly for me it is hard for me emotionally. I have nightmares still of my D&E. We terminated and the last thing I remember was how I could feel her moving and kicking as I was put out. I just felt if I had to go through a similar procedure it would be a big set back for me emotionally. I know this is totally different because the baby passed away but I just didn't think I could handle it again. Does that even make sense? Just too many memories of a bad time.

AF came this morning.
I have to say that with being on Clomid, the last few days leading up to AF were crazy. I was such a mean person and had such a horrible TWW on Clomid.
I might try one more cycle and then move onto IUI.
