http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/kimmy-s-journey I am someone who has always wanted a baby, and have always been afraid I wouldn't be able to get pregnant. My husband and I were married April 5th 2008 after being together 3 years. I went off the pill (ortho-tri-cyclen-lo) in November 2008. My first cycle after that was 35 days, so only one week later than it had been on the pill. But after that first period....I never got it again. ...

CD2 today of cycle 4 of Clomid. They are going to just consider it my third cycle though, since my first time I was not really responsive. This will be my last time trying before we move on to IUI as well. I am kind of upset and have had a rough few days. <br/><br/>I don't know that I am really going to chart my temps this cycle. Each cycle I have ovulated on CD17, so I am going to get my follicles checked on CD16, and as long as everything looks ok I will do the Ovidrel shot again.</div> <p><a href="/profile/kimmyhopes" title="kimmyhopes"><img alt="Profile_pic" border="0" height="50px" src="/profile/image/16642/thumb/Profile_Pic.jpg?1252367997" width="50px" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/kimmyhopes">kimmyhopes</a> </p> Mon, 30 Nov 2009 22:09:20 -0600 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/kimmy-s-journey/457765 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/kimmy-s-journey/457765 <div><object width='490' height='300' alt='FertilityTies Ovulation Calendar'><param name='movie' value='http://www.fertilityties.com/charts/open-flash-chart.swf?data-file=http://www.fertilityties.com/ovulationcalendar/4ff3bf195a63ca24b2f0edaeb3832847cca3a6c6.json'></param><param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'></param><embed src="http://www.fertilityties.com/charts/open-flash-chart.swf?data-file=http://www.fertilityties.com/ovulationcalendar/4ff3bf195a63ca24b2f0edaeb3832847cca3a6c6.json" type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='true' width='490' height='300' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' quality='high'></embed></object></object></div> <p><a href="/profile/kimmyhopes" title="kimmyhopes"><img alt="Profile_pic" border="0" height="50px" src="/profile/image/16642/thumb/Profile_Pic.jpg?1252367997" width="50px" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/kimmyhopes">kimmyhopes</a> </p> Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:33:34 -0600 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/kimmy-s-journey/452433 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/kimmy-s-journey/452433 <div>Thank you!<br/><br/>I am 8dpo today...I think I am going to take an HPT tomorrow...it will be the hubby's birthday, so hopefully good news!

Started my third round of Clomid last night (100mg days 3-9 again). I am hoping this will be my month, I am going to try and relax about it and see what happens. DH isn't quite ready to try IUI this cycle (he feels like if we do that, he isn't "really" making the baby). So we will give it another round like we did last month. I'm not going back to the doctor until Friday the 13th, which will be CD16, so hopefully things will be ready to rock by then...I usually get my positive OPK on CD17.

I had a negative blood pregnancy test at the doctor's today. I was expecting that, but still kind of sad today. So now I am stopping the progesterone so I will get my period, and will have my baseline ultrasound to start my 3rd cycle on Clomid.

Still spotting a little bit. HPT was negative. Nurse at the doctor wants me to keep taking the progesterone until I have my blood pregnancy test on Wednesday. If it is negative I can stop, and let my period start, but she doesn't want me to stop it if the bleeding is just implantation...she said I could still have a negative HPT at this point, and they don't want to start me on a new cycle and then find out later that I was pregnant all along. I am pretty sure I'm not, but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised. We will see, but I am anxious to know, and get going on another cycle if this is not the one.</div> <p><a href="/profile/kimmyhopes" title="kimmyhopes"><img alt="Profile_pic" border="0" height="50px" src="/profile/image/16642/thumb/Profile_Pic.jpg?1252367997" width="50px" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/kimmyhopes">kimmyhopes</a> </p> Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:58:08 -0500 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/kimmy-s-journey/431623 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/kimmy-s-journey/431623 <div>Today is CD28.

My husband and I were married April 5th 2008 after being together 3 years. <br/><br/>I went off the pill (ortho-tri-cyclen-lo) in November 2008. My first cycle after that was 35 days, so only one week later than it had been on the pill. But after that first period....I never got it again. <br/><br/>I finally went to my Dr in April, and she put me on Prometrium (200mg) for 14 days to bring on my period. She thought maybe it would help "reset" my system and that I would start getting it again like normal. Well, I got my period, but then more months went by without anything....I went through boxes and boxes of OPK's before I decided to stop wasting my money. <br/><br/>Went back to the Dr in July with my husband. All of the tests they have done on my blood have showed me at normal levels. She put me on the Prometrium (200mg) for 14 days again, but nothing happened this time. They had me go back to do a blood pregnancy test (obviously I wasn't pregnant!) and my progesterone levels. Both came back low, so onto Provera (10mg) for 7 days. <br/><br/>In the meantime, my husband had his semen analysis done, and it came back with a high count, but low motility and poor shape. So, off to the urologist we went. Nothing was found physically wrong. Retesting showed slightly higher levels but still not that great. They said they would start me on Clomid and we could try on our own for a few months, but if it doesn't work we will probably do IUI.<br/><br/>The Provera got me to start my period! Sept 1 was the first day of my cycle, and I am finally starting Clomid! Had my baseline ultrasound done on 9/3 and started 50mg that day. Taking days 3-9, seven days because they don't know how responsive my body will be. I am going back 9/11 to check my follicles, and I am having my HSG that afternoon as well to make sure my tubes are not scarred or blocked. Stay tuned!</div> <p><a href="/profile/kimmyhopes" title="kimmyhopes"><img alt="Profile_pic" border="0" height="50px" src="/profile/image/16642/thumb/Profile_Pic.jpg?1252367997" width="50px" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/kimmyhopes">kimmyhopes</a> </p> Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:22:03 -0500 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/kimmy-s-journey http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/kimmy-s-journey
