TTC #1 since Fall 2014, CD24, 8DPO. Second cycle on Clomid - up to 100mg this month.

Unless my temp goes up more, I will put off testing until possibly Friday. If my temp drops, no need.
I had my post-Clomid check-up today. Just by the pelvic exam my doc could tell I ovulated on the right side. It was weird. If only he could use those magical hands to tell me if I'm pregnant. He also sent me downstairs to get bloodwork to see if my progesterone levels were ok. We'll see what happens. I don't want to get my hopes up too much. If it doesn't work this cycle, we're leaving for Ireland next Friday. I will distract myself from my sadness with lots and lots of Guinness.

Hugs, suzv Hope you're not out.

lol at my that I already checked this

Oh I check what my EDD would be every single cycle. I have no idea why. June 12 over here. haha.  I had the "my pregnancy" app or whatever it is (AGAIN, WHY?!), and I change it every cycle thinking MAYBE this is the time I'll actually need it.  I should remember to turn it off because the "You're five weeks pregnant!" push notification I get right after my period is NOT good for my mental health.

Good luck! I hope your H's SA goes smoothly and without any issues <3

Good luck tomorrow callmehales! Have everything crossed for you!

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since Jan '14. One loss. Cycle 17, CD5. IUI #1 this month.


2. Testing this week?
Nope. 


3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
So we decided to go through with the IUI after another devastating month of getting my period. It was a really hard time and I cried a lot this past weekend, thinking about the baby we lost and all this wasted time. I'm hoping and praying that this IUI works. I don't know how I'll handle it if it doesn't work. We can't afford to this multiple times.

I'm taking Clomid currently and haven't really had any noticeable side effects, so that's good. IUI will probably be late next week/weekend (usually ovulate around CD15 or 16, but I don't know if the Clomid will mess that up.) I've already talked to my boss about maybe needing to take time off which was awkward, but I just said I had a "medical appointment" so we didn't talk about the infertility stuff. 


4. What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Candy Corn. It's not even THAT good, but once I start I just can't stop!

[mrsbunny]

pandora89, this is cracking me up! We're almost exactly on the same cycle (I'm CD5 and you're 6) and my DH's birthday is June 29th as well! Haha, when I told him what the due date would be if I'm pregnant this month he got excited and wanted the baby to share his birthday. He also originally wanted us to get married on his birthday so he'd always remember. 

And no worries...I check the due date every month too! Since I'm finishing up school as well I also check when I'd be done with the 1st trimester, 2nd, etc.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since March 2014

2. Testing this week? Nope...CD3 starting Femara

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed? I was pretty bummed that I didn't ovulate on my un-medicated cycle. I'm just ready to get this show on the road and see how I respond to Femara.

4. What is your favorite Halloween candy? Give me all the Reese cups!!!

1. Where are you in your journey?

I brought some opks with me on vacation, but I think I am just going for every other day
3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
I need to get off of Facebook, like yesterday. I also heard back from a loss therapist, so booking an appt with her in the near future!
4. What is your favorite Halloween candy?
All of it! I think Baby Ruth is my absolute favorite.

Temp climbed back up a tiny bit this morning (10DPO) and although I told myself I wouldn't, I tested. BFN. That was dumb and now I'm disappointed. I know it doesn't mean I'm out, but it's always a bit of a gut punch to see the negative test.

[Deleted]

CD 30 freaking two here. I average around 27-29 day cycles. BFN yesterday. I'm so frustrated.
