Hi Julie,

I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to wait on testing today. I just don't want to be disappointed if I see a BFN. My LP last time I ovulated was 12 days, so I'll wait until 12dpo (Tuesday) to test this time as long as AF doesn't show. I'm not feeling too much fatigue. Yesterday I woke up feeling very shaky and was kind of tired all day, but I'm feeling better today, so I don't know if that's related or not. How are you doing? Have you started clomid yet this cycle? Talk to you soon!

Jen

Hey Jen,

sorry just logged on for the day..football game on...GO LIONS--yea right.

Anyways, did you test yet? I was thinking about you the other day and wondering if you were indeed going to test. Well, I think af has left today or is about to (very light to almost gone) and tomorrow I start the Clomid. What are your temps looking like today? Still staying above coverline? Any creamy cm today and sore bb's? I know I keep asking but those are such prominent pg signs that most every women have minus the very few select few that do not have any pg signs until very late into their pregnancy.

Let me know if you tested yet and remember do NOT get discouraged as some women it can take about 14-15 dpo to get a bfp.

Hi Julie,

No, I haven't tested yet. I think I'll do it Tuesday if AF doesn't show. My temps are still looking good, but my BBs are less sore than before. I don't know what to think-I guess I'll have to wait and see. So, you're starting clomid today? I hope you don't have any side effects. I only had hot flashes and some O pain, so it wasn't too bad. Will you be taking robitussin or anything like that for CM? I highly recommend V8 splash. Well, I'm running a little late for work, so I should go. Here's my chart.

Jen,

Good morning. Chart does still look good, as long as you don't have a large dip, I think it's great. Well, with the bb's, (sorry to be so descriptive, I am trying to analyze) are they sore around the edges or just nipp's or both? Also do bb's feel heavier and bigger to you? And, how is your cm today? Are you still having it and it is visible in panties? Any other strange things? Fatigue at all? Any waves of nausea (spelling?) Cramping of any kind? One more thing, did you spot at all this whole 2 ww?

Well, I'd be really surprised if you test came back -, seriously, it all sounded so promising and it's not over yet until you test. So tomorrow, that should put you around 12 dpo or no? Will af be late if she does not come tomorrow. Do you have any signs of starting af? I always get PMS of cramps, sore bb's (nipps mostly) and girgling in the tummy usually a week ahead but this month I only got cramps the night before af came, it was so strange. Please check in with me tomorrow on this same e-mail, bump it if you can, I will also if it falls to far behind on the board.

I will be logged on tomorrow around 11:00 a.m. What time do you plan on testing? Morning right to use FMU? GOOD LUCK again!!

Oh and the I took the clomid a day early...oh well, I couldn't wait. I took it real late last night around 11:00 p.m. so almost the 5th day of my cycle. So far, I feel great but they say to take it before you go to bed and you won't have any side effects. When do you take yours, during the day?

Julie,

Ok, the bb's are slightly sore around the edges only and the nips are still a little sore. BB's don't feel any bigger/heavier. CM is still creamy, but not as much as before-still noticeable, though. No nausea. I had some cramping from cd2-6, but it's pretty much gone now. No, I didn't spot at all this 2ww, but I never spot. I don't get any signs of AF except for tingly nips the week before-sometimes. Then the day AF starts I get cramps and a headache. I think it's fine that you took your clomid a day early-I took mine at night too, just to reduce side effects. I'll let you know tomorrow what happens with the test. Wish me luck!

Jen

Julie,

It's official-you are awesome at predicting pregnancies. I got a BFP today!!!!! I can't believe it. I'm 12dpo and had some mild cramping last night and when I lightly pressed on my lower abdomen it felt tender. I took the test today and I saw the plus sign right away! I'm so excited! Thanks so much for your encouragement and support. Keep me updated on your progress-I definitely want to stay in touch with you.

Jen

Just in case, I no not want to lose touch with you so here is my "personal" e-mail: jmercier99@yahoo.com, feel free to e-mail anytime with pregnancy q's (since I've been there, might be able to help) or anything else. I'd love to hear how your pregnancy is going. Do you have a personal e-mail that you'd like to give to keep in contact? Let me know.

Thanks! Yes, I posted in the BFP section and yes it was the 3rd CC. I'm really hoping that you get it on your 1st try. Is your doctor monitoring you with ultrasound at all? Mine didn't. Here's my email: jbmojo1@yahoo.com We'll definitely keep in touch. I'm sure I'll have tons of questions for you. Yes, I'll stay on this board-probably throughout the pregnancy-as well as being on the TTC grad expecting board whenever it gets going. I have an appt with my obgyn on October 16th, so I'm just hoping all goes well and this pg sticks. Thanks again for the congrats!

Jen

Jen,

My doc said that this month after the clomid and if not pg, she will check my ovaries in the doc office or hyperstimulation and if they are not enlarged or hurt then onto the next round and with the 2nd round (hoping not needed) depending on when I O this cycle (I have the CPE Fert. monitor to detect LH instead of OPK's) then I will go in and get an official U/S done, this is more for me, not what the doc suggested but I want to see my ovaries and the follicles and how large etc.. on the screen so it was my suggestion and she agreed.

Well I will send you an e-mail at the site you posted me in the next couple of weeks to see how you're doing. BTW, how did you tell DH and was he surprised and did you tell him some crazy girl on your ttc board was telling you that you were pg about 8dpo??? lol.... I know after 11 months of scheduled "bding" it was probably worth it and can only hope it will happen for me but if not this cycle, it's only been a month of real ttc, I need to

be patient!

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((STICKY VIBES TO YOU))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

We all know you have a high progesterone count, so I really don't think you'll need the sticky vibes but what the hell. I may have a chance of knowing this cycle if I could be pg with a progesterone test myself (doc scheduled one for 7dpo as well) and honestly, that is mostly how I knew you were pg, by your high levels. Most that just O without being pg have a level normally about 10 unmedicated and about 15-18 medicated (like us on clomid) and usually pg if it's around 23-30 something "most of the time" and in your case it was true!

Take care and talk to you soon.

Julie
