April 22nd now at 8DPO anyone with me?

[tea_berries]

Just want to share questions and answers.  Someone to talk to Maybe we can talk about how we feel at 8DPO... I know it will be a long wait for us ladies but we are half way there.  

Currently 8DPO with third round of clomid.  Not feeling anything  but the usual rumbling sound comming from down there.  I usually get it before AF with cramps and lower back aches...  I am happy there are no cramps at this point.  I hope the rumbling sound does not have anything to do with AF comming.  I feel normal in every way.  Boobs are normal; no cramps and lower back aches so far.  No extra ordinary amount of CM just a bit of creamy stuff.

[babyhope1]

I am with you girl!!!  I had three months of clomid and this is my first month of IUI.  I had an LH surge on the 15th (smily face on the Clear Blue easy OPK) They told me to call and to schedule my IUI for the day after the smily face.  I only tested once a day with my second pee (less dilute?) and wihout the morning rush.  That is what my RE told me.

I googled that the face can be anywhere in the X?X hours of the surge.  Since I only test every 24 hours I am guessing it was at the end of the surge because I tested again that evening and no smily face.  The next morning didn't have a smily face either.  Anyway, I had the IUI on the 16th in the afternoon, my cycle is a consistant 31 days.  So I am officially 6DPO.

I don't really have any symptoms.  I am abnormally thirsty and pee all the time, most likely because I drink a lot more.  My bbs don't hurt yet.  I was hoping for implantation bleeding this week :) cause that is where we are with our cycles about now tea_berries!!  What rumbling are you talking about?  I too have noticed more gas (maybe because I am really paying attention to my body these days)

I feel a slight dull pain in my left back.  I think its more mental but every day I "remember" it.  I don't know what that is.  I am a ball of nerves and feel butterflies.  I shouldn't bc its always a waste but I pray this time it worked.

Baby dust to you!!!  Keep in touch!!!  We are in this together!

[IsabelleCanada]

I'm with you hon, I'm 10DPO, exatly the same NON-EXISTANT symptoms... getting a little discouraged. Let's keep positive, 3rd time could be a charm for you! I'm rooting for you sweety!

isabelle :-)

[tea_berries]

Hey there,  So glad to see you post.  I hope we can find more buddies. :) I don't know how to explain the sound but it sounds like the one that you hear when you are hungry? and your stomach makes a noise?  like that but i can hear it and feel it comming from the ovary/uterus area.  I am so weird but It happens lately before I start my AF  crossing my fingers..... I hope not.... I better sprinkle some baby dust to get the bad thoughts out.  sending some to you too.. :)

Our symptoms may be funny because they say it happens and vary per woman with or without pregnancy but it's just nice to talk about them huh?

[tea_berries]

yay there's three of us now baby dust to all of us! But you are testing earlier than me.  I am planning to test May1st since I have a 31to34 day cycle.  I am thinking of taking it  CD34

Might cave in a bit earlier but we'll see

[waitn838]

hey....im not on chlomid but im 6dpo and my body is taking me for a ride

im so confused on my symptoms....they sound so good but its still too soon to test

best of luck to you ladies...start it off right and i hope to follow in with the BFPs this cycle

[skipili]

Hello!!! I'm 9DPO. I didn't take any medicine this month. I did 3 cycles of Clomed a year ago (boy....did that make me feel yucky) and had an IUI last month. Nothings working so far. This month I've gone back to keeping track and BD'd at O. I've been a little tired and find myself getting dizzy once in a while but I'm sure my AF will show up. It's very fustrating. I had more symptoms last month but I think it was because of all the shots. Sometimes I feel I think about it too much.
Why is it so hard to get pg for so many women? I pray it happens for all of us one day.

[tea_berries]

Yup,  I am thinking the same thing.  I am not sure why other women can just sneeze and get pregnant.  I wish we have some of their luck :)

skipili and waitin are not taking meds and some women get prego while trying on No meds.. I am just keeping my fingers crossed for all of us! :)

I guess pray is all we can do now since we are in the 2ww I just hope we did it in the right timing..... and get our little beans to stick to the wall and hold on tight...

[tea_berries]

So Isabelle Canada is testing first.  wow 10DPO when are you planning to test?

babyhope: haha now that you mentioned dull back aches, I think I am starting to have them ... this is surely entertaining

[skipili]

Showering everyone with lotso baby dust!!!!

Has anyone here used preseed? I was thinking about trying it.

I'll do a hpt on the 27th if AF doesn't show.

[tea_berries]

I did but did not get lucky yet.  this is my second month of using it.  JenandJon used it and got pregnant.  Not on the first try either though, I think.  It is quite pricey for a Baby Dance lubricant.  But it's sperm friendly so I keep using it.  I realized I get super dry during O and it's not helping the spermies to swim easier.  I tried it and was happy with the results.  I don't get hurt anymore during dry O days.  

[ashlynn85]

I am 4 dpo and i cannot wait to test and see if get my bfp. My younger sister just found out that she is pregnant with her second child. im little depressed but happy that now i will have a new neice of nephew. My other sister is pregnant too she is 21 weeks. Soo i feel depressed all the time because neither wanted another baby. Im sure that they will be great mothers because my 22 old sister has a 3 year old and is a wonderful mommy. But i just want the chance to be a mommy tooo. (tear, tear, im just so sad. :(

[tea_berries]

i know how you feel.  i am trying for numer 1 too.  i am 30 and not getting any younger.

[skipili]

Sounds like the preseed is worth a shot and at least it won't cost as much as the Bravell and Ovedril I had to buy last month. Is it at the pharmacy stores?  I'll have to get some next month......HOPEFULLY I'll get a BFP and won't need it. So any new symptoms for you today? My BB's are sore today.

ashlynn: I'm in the same boat. It seems everyone around me has been getting pg and not even trying for it. I have to go to a baby shower next month. I'm happy for my family and friends but jealous at the same time. I can't tell them that because they won't understand where I'm coming from.

[tea_berries]

I went to the chiropractor yesterday apparently she said my iodine is low.  hmmm not sure how she found out.  But I guess additional iodine won't hurt.  I am not feeling anything different today.  my boobs are not that sore.  Only on the sides when you touch them. Pre seed have a website so you can check if they have a store close to your area.  www.preseed.com  If they have none close to you, you can order them online on the same website.  Some women buy them at ebay but I prefer getting them from the official website.  

[nevaeh222]

I wish I could be in the 2ww with you guys but unfortunately I cannot be....
I'm hoping and praying for your BFPs!!!!  

[babyhope1]

I am just catching up with you guys today.  We can hang in there another day.  Try to distract yourself as best you can.  

Ashlynn85-I too have had a recent hard time with babyshowers. I even got invited to one whom I didn't even know the mother!! Alright, it was a friend of a friend but I knew her from a long time ago (college-that was about 12 years ago) and she has married and changed her name and lives 2,000 miles away.  I don't know how they find me but its like I get one every week!  

I am not getting any younger too!! I hear you tea_berries, I am 31 and hoping for my first, I will be 32 when my first is born,  URG!

All-I heard clomid begins to mess with your CM and drys you up if you are on it too many months in a row.  Every month the doctor asks me about it and I say its fine.  However I went off Clomid one month and then resumed and man it was back in full force!!!  Whatever helps, you know?

Hang in there ladies, it sounds like we are within days of eachother!!!  Fingers crossed.

I love hearing about anyone's possible symptoms, I don't have any and I try to remind myself that when (not if but when) I do get prego I will want to go back to this stage (well, minus the infertility and years of trying part) so keep that in mind, stay positive and remember, you are gonna miss this!!  Baby dust to all.

[tea_berries]

babyhope: YUP trying to distract myself to stop worrying too... hope your little bean sticks this time,  I know we need all the baby dusts!  I also worry that what if i get a baby girl? how old will I be when she's 18? I should still be pretty for her debut ;)

nevaeh: we will be watching your posts and wait for you to join us in the 2WW soon... Just send us messages when you get bored waiting to TTC again.  It will be faster than you think....

[skipili]

I'm 37.....and a half (LOL). I need to hurry up and get pg or I'm going to be old when my baby graduates. If I would have known back in the day that I would be having this tuff a time I would have ttc when I was younger. I try not to dwell on all of this stuff too, but I feel my time running out. It helps to have you all to talk to :-).

[Tarobinc]

I am 14DPO (first full cycle IUI) and I go for my pg blood test tomorrow.  So far, I have had constipation, diarrhea, swollen breasts and dizziness. The hard part is this what my pms symptoms usually were.  However, there are visable blue veins on my chest and on my breasts.  Also, my  areolas are twice the normal size and slightly darker.  I am trying not to read into this...could just be b/c of the injections but not sure....
Im 35 and have been trying for over a year now without help before this cycle.  I did start Clomid back in Feb but developed an ovarian cyst and was placed back on bcp.  
Good luck to everyone!  

[tea_berries]

Age is not really an issue with all the available help we can get I guess,  I see 24 year olds here who have a hard time like all of us ladies in the thirties.  I guess we are all waiting for the big surprise at the perfect time :) I hope we are getting close though.  

tarobinc:  Let us know what the results are tomorrow crossing my fingers for you :)

Still no symptoms for me except for constipation due to my elevated progesterone level that I get every month since clomid.

[nevaeh222]

Yup, It's hard to believe I'm only 22 and can't conceive!!! I can't imagine if I were older..I worry about my husband because he's 32..almost 33..he's going to be an old man when he walks his daughter down the aisle..(yes we are having a girl...I can't get pregnant now but I KNOW when I do..it's going to be a girl...wishful thinking..haha.) Anyways, good luck ladies.

[tea_berries]

Yay! pink baby dust... I would love to have at least one girl too... I hope I get twins.... It's nice to dream... Hoping it will come true for all of us here.... Hang in there Nevaeh you will be ttc'ing sooner that you think...who knows when you are ready to battle again, you will get prenant right away...wooo hooo crossing my fingers

[tea_berries]

last night I got a horrible diarrhea in the middle of the night.  I have never experience such gross diarrhea.  Sorry TMI.  YOu think it will lessen my chance of conceiving? The only different thing I ate are the tamarind fruits from the chinese supermarket. Do you ladies think that these fruits cause diarrhea?  And it feels like there is a stabbing pain in my left breast last night too.  It comes and goes only lasts for a few seconds and gone.  I think it happened three times last night.  Maybe these have nothing to do with pregnancy but so far these are the only changes I had since my first round of clomid. This morning I feel good again.  weird things happend during ttc. How is everybody doing? Oh and I did temp this morning just for kicks.  last Tuesday it was 37 and now thursday it went down to 36.9 hmmm not a good sign? I am supposed to be 10DPO today.  I do hope it goes back up tomorrow.  I don't temp regularly this month just because it's stressful for me.

[skipili]

I don't know if those fruits cause diarhea. the tamarind flavor isn't for me so I've never eaten a lot of it. I did have the worst diarhea ever after going to the chinese buffet. Never been back. LOL!!!  I just started taking my temp last cycle when I did the IUI. My temp has been above the cover line up till now but I imagine it will drop tomorrow because I started spotting last night and today. That usually means AF coming soon. I hope my temp stays up and yours goes up. do you take your temp in celcius because mine is 97.75 F. Taking my temperature has given me a sence of what my body is doing. I like it but it can be stressfull as well not to mention having to be consistant with it. I've got back in the gym and that's helped me with my stress. I've gotten a little out of shape lately so I'm working on that too. Does working out make it hard to concieve you think? I've read it's ok.....just need to change your routine after getting pg.

nevaeh & tea_berries - I'd like to have a girl too. SPBD
