    Congrats New York!! That is so exciting!
    Tina, thanks for sharing your story. What an ordeal you have been through. Good luck whenever you are able to try again
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    New York Congrats!! I'm thrilled for you.)
    Tina- my heart goes out to you. Your a strong woman and I pray this process gives you the baby you so deserve. Will your doctor allow you to do fertility drugs? Would that help?
    Thank you for sharing your story.)
    Kisses

    I am so happy to see all the woman finding suoport on here! This forum was a huge source of support for me during my journey!

    My son is now 2. Baby dust to you all!

    nyfly.. Congrats!!!!!

    Chantilly.. I'm living in Alberta right now. But my hearts in Ontario.

    So... I got a BFP on 5 HPT's.
    I went for my blood work Friday but never got my results and will have to wait till Monday. I have one more HPT kicking around that I may or may not take tomorrow morning. I just need some reassurance that it's a positive every morning.
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    Congrats Danni!! That's is wonderful news!!
  • callencallen Member Member
    Congrats on your BFP!!!
    Tomorrow morning is our 3rd IUI...first time using Ovidrel last night.

    Thinking of everyone!!!
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    Good luck Callen!
    Pot- how's the clomid going?
    I started mine again yesterday. Had a couple hot flashes at work yesterday. But maybe it was the trauma bays just being hot. Then cried once this morning. Just because a sweet song came on?? I'm not a cryer! But maybe it's the meds or just built up stuff from last months iui. Idk.

    Callen- how long after your injection will you do your iui?
    Lisa
  • callencallen Member Member
    Arghhh it only posted the first sentence of my message????
    I did ok on Clomid...but it was only 25...half the dose. It sounds like your symptoms are from the Clomid. Hang in there.
    Glad you followed your heart with continuing with your next IUI.
    I did the Ovidrel last night at midnight and will go in for IUI Monday at 10:30 am. Around 36 hrs after.

    Lisa- so far so good. My RE told me to take them at night. I started my first one last night. I had to run to the store today, it was rather cool inside the store but half way though my shopping trip I felt sweat running down my neck and I felt like I was in a full on hot flash. I do not typically sweat or at least it takes an extra long amount of time out in the hot Georgia sun to get me to the point I am sweating... but Ingles did that today and it has continued.

    On my right side where my ovary would be, I have felt twinges today. Who knows what that is... my wife says gas! LOL!

    I am on 50 mg of clomid for 5 days.
  • chantillylacechantillylace Member Member
    Awww clomid! I did it this iui for the second time I didn't think I had much s/e except hot flashes that was until I got so upset when my gravy turned up lumpy that I threw the whole meal out & cried for a hour lol 11 piui no test yet so hopefully the tears were worth it lol
  • POT03005POT03005 Senior Member Senior Member
    Chantilly- I just laughed out loud at the gravy comment. It hasn't seemed to effect my mood. I just took my second pill tonight. Not sure if/when it should start having an effect. I do have the hot flashes... OMG! Been working on homework half the day (I am in my last semester of grad school) and I have had a box fan next too me even though the air is at 72 in the house right now. Geesh... I could do without the sweats. My mom and sisters were over today to swim with us and my mom said it is what I have to look forward to when I get older. Hot damn!
  • chantillylacechantillylace Member Member
    @pot yup hot flashes were the worst I had them right up until about 2 day past ovulation! I slept with the windows wide open and 2 fans my poor hubby was freezing with 2 blankets lol I told him if this is what menopause is going to feel like I'm moving to the artic! Lol
  • POT03005POT03005 Senior Member Senior Member
    Awesome! Something to look forwards too! Where in earth do you love thy you can have windows open right now?
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    Pot- I'm right there with you. I take my pill in the morning though. I remember feeling kinda moody and tired last month from it. But so far this month I feel fine. Aside from my intestines not moving as well and needing to crank my AC up.
    Driz- how are you feeling this week?
    Chantilly when are you testing?
  • D-rizzyD-rizzy Senior Member Senior Member
    Hi everyone! I have never taken Clomid and from the sounds of things, hope I get pregnant before that is introduced! I am a sweater as it is so I don't need help in that department.
    I'm feeling great! I wish I could say I feel like this is the month but I don't feel any different. The only difference I see is in my animals. They are all over me these last few days. The second I lay down, both my dog and cat immediately lay on my stomach. My dog is much more protective than usual with strangers too. I am hoping that is a sign but who knows
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    Driz- that's so interesting about your dog. I do believe they have heightened senses.
    I was just chatting with my pharmacist who just had twins and it just gave me butterflies! I would love to have twins! She said it wasn't as hard as she expected. Which is good to hear.
    But I told her too. I am not testing period till way after iui. No stressing this month.)
    Have a great day guys!!
    Lisa
  • D-rizzyD-rizzy Senior Member Senior Member
    I agree with you. Last month I tested on days 10, 12, 13 and 14 and then AF came on Day 15. I am waiting until day 14 this time. I will admit that twins make me a little nervous! I've always told my sister and bro-in-law that when they had 3 kids, they can no longer play man to man defense!! Once the kids outnumber the adults, I think the parent(s) are in trouble!! Haha! I would be happy with however many I am blessed with
  • Brandy1550Brandy1550 Junior Member Junior Member
    Anyone experience dizziness and clammy early in tww I'm on letrozole/Femara and progesterone Could it be the progesterone this is only my 2nd cycle taking it I don't recall this last time?
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    Brandy. I'm not sure. I haven't taken those meds. It might be a good idea to call your doc.
    Lisa
  • D-rizzyD-rizzy Senior Member Senior Member
    I haven't taken them either. Sorry I can't help
  • callencallen Member Member
    Brandy-the progesterone makes me feel that way...not sure if the other meds but def the progesterone. Just to make sure I would def ask your doctor.

    So today was the day. IUI this am. Now for the long tww. Here we go!!!!
    On a side note...and not to be gross...anyone ever experience a slight discharge with a mix of a little blood? I have had before trying to get pregnant but not sure if this means I was starting to ovulate???
  • txgrl74txgrl74 Senior Member Senior Member
    Both times I had IUI I had this. The doctor said it was from the procedure. Something about the catheter hit the lining.
  • callencallen Member Member
    Thanks!! Always a worry that things just fell out. Lol. Even though we are told over and over that they don't.
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    Callen I had a little blood also after my iui.
    Congrats on the iui!! I'm excited for u!!
    I hope I get to do mine next week. Im straight sending two vials to the ob and just gonna spring on her I want back to backs next week when I get my ultrasound. I chickened out on calling and decided to just assume it would be acceptable.
    Chantilly hope your feeling better.)
