Oooo, and to anybody who doesn't have a countdown ticker(the fancy little information boxes at the bottom posts), get one lol, they are awesome and lets everyone in this forum know what cycle day you are on and so we know who are cycle buddies are:)

Babylovejen here is what I say.....people are always at different places in life. Those posts were silliness and nothing more. At least here you know we are all on the same page wanting the same thing. I am so glad we have this forum because talking to DH (bless his soul) is taxing on me.

Here you know what I am talking about and if not we all learn together. I just said today how unfair it is that people who don't want children have no problem getting pregnant.

I am here if you need to vent anytime.

Come on ladies...we need to cheer US on....WISHING BABYDUST AND STICKY VIBES for us all...

Hello Ladies, I love seeing all the optimism-it's just what I needed to get my emotions in check! I have been a bit of a suck today-feeling emotional. Thanks clomid!
I am on cd12 and started getting a little pink spotting when I wipe. Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm googling it to no end and its making me even more confused because it could mean so many things-so I'd like to know if any of you have experienced it?

BabyLoveJenn ~ for cycle buddies!

Oh my gosh I think Clomid has turned the into the devil! Today AF is so much worse than it has ever been. It is very, very heavy today (TMI - with dark clotting) and I'm having horrible cramps, bloating, and backpain. I just want to lay in a hot tub for hours and afterwords I want to curl up into the fetal position and sleep. Dear Lord, please help me make it through the rest of the work day (quickly). Almost two hours down, a little more than eight and half hours to go. Wishing I had some midol and two heating pads right about now. I've literally had to unbutton and unzip my pants to sit a little more comfortably, good thing I wore a long hoodie today. Too bad I can't tell my manager that my bed is yelling my name and that I have to go home.

Thanks ladies! I was so sour yesterday... and in the most immature way I could be, too, lol. Thanks for listening and being so supportive... you all are wonderful!

hopefulll.. so funny about cycles synching! it's totally true. I had a ticker before, but I don't know where it went.. maybe I have to click on "add my signature" to my page? I will try it for this post.

JamieNix.. man... I'm with you. I felt AF coming on yesterday, started spotting towards the end of my work day, then BAM.. I got home and the cramps and back pain were INSANE. I took one of my DHs 800mg ib-profins, switched a heating pad from my lower back to abdomen as often as I could.. but I was in so much pain.. I've never had periods this horrible! It must be the clomid? I was so exhausted from dealing with the pain that I went to bed at 8:30pm, laying on a heating pad. I woke up, still aching slightly, so I popped another ib-profin before it got any worse. Anyone else feel their periods are worse now that they're on clomid??

Hey hopeful, I would love to share my iui experience with you although still no happy ending
Went to my fertility specialist end of october, unexplained secondary infertility was his diagnosis. prior to him telling me he did a ton of blood work, a post coital test amd a test for a bacteria that women or men van have, all came back negative but my progesterone was only 11. So he wanted me to do lap surgery which I cancelled because I had strong feelinga against it, just a gut feeling thing and opted for the HSG tubal xray, this was done the beginning of jan. Since oct. My progest. Levels were 11, 19, 16 and started 50mg clomid days 5thru9, I ovulate on my own so starting later as opposed to days 3thru7 produces a stronger egg where earlier produces more eggs, possible. After 1st rd of clomid with iui it was a bfn but my prog. Level on day 21 was a 52.8z yikes! Thought for surw it worked but nope, did 2nd round amd bfn today at 11 dpiui. My dr wants me to do 4 to 6 cycles until moving on to either injecibles or ivf. He also said 50% of women will get pregnant in those amt of cycles. My dh had a vasectomy reversal so hia count isnt great, isnt bad just not great but good motility. I guess I will do a few more rounds. Just af is very heavy while doing this and o cramps are painful, good luck all!

I have been following this theard for awhile. I am on my 2nd round of clomid. I took it days 3 to 7 and am on cd 9 today. I will start opks tomorrow, I just don't know how i feel about all this and it gets to be so overwhelming. We have been trying to coniceve another for 14 months and found out i wasn't ovulating at all so started clomid. I did ovulate last month so staying on 50mg this month. Has anyone got pregnant on the second round? I am trying so hard to stay postive but it get so hard when trying so long. Any helpful tips that we should be doing? We use preseed cd 10 to after i "o", also use softcups and started taking mucinex at cd 5. Anything else? I am glad I found this theard and hope BFP for all of us. Good luck ladies

Welcome Tricia! We can all feel you on the pains and frustrations of TTC! I'm in the same boat as you... trying for a second child and it's just not happening. It's hard to wrap your head around unexplained infertility.. or secondary infertility. I'm moving on to my 4th round of clomid tomorrow, but there are a lot of success stories for the 2nd round of clomid - google it! Welcome.. we're all here to support you!

Tricia_11 ~ Welcome to forum. I completely understand what you are going through. I am starting my second round of clomid tomorrow days 3-7. I am 23 years old, never been pregnant. My DH and I have been trying for a whole year as of this month. I've been off of the birth control pill for 2 years now. We are using preseed and fertilaid for him. I am also checking my basal body temp every morning, checking cervical position, checking cervical fluid, and using OPK strips and a digital OPK. Last cycle I ate slices of pineapple core after ovulation, I haven't decided whether or not I am going to try that again this cycle or not. I am taking Evening Primrose Oil this cycle up until ovulation to help with my cervical mucus and am also thinking I might try taking baby asprin too (helps with the uterin lining). So I guess we'll see how everything goes this round. I hope we all start getting BFPs soon! Sending lots of sticky, baby dust your way!

Finally got a positive OPK and confirmed with digital! Never been so happy to see a smiley face lol Can't even imagine how it will feel to see a BFP! Cycle day 23 today so its really late but better late than never.

I thought for sure I was developing another ovarian cycst cuz cramping and bloating has been sooooo bad. Did everyone experience a lot of cramping and bloating around ovulation?
