Jamie's journey...the beginning, or the end? We'll find out!

September 21, 2008

My name is Jamie, but my family calls me "James". My BF and I have been TTC for almost a year, during which I was finally diagnosed with PCOS, which I already knew for years. Once I was diagnosed my doctor put me on Metformin. He also prescribed Clomid which thankfully, I had studied on my own and knew what it was and what it was used for, because he basically wrote the script and sent me on my way. Needless to say I have since found a new doctor that went over my history, and started a new plan. Clomid for 3 cycles, if no pg then next thing is LAP to look for endo. If after that, still nothing we'll go for the HSG. I do ovulate on my own and have regular cycles, which was determined through progesterone/estradiol blood test last month. So the next 3 months will determine our TTC journey. This could be the end, or just the beginning. I also started charting last cycle and was pleased to see the biphasic pattern with no medical intervention!!

I should also mention that my boyfriend has 4 kids, which we have full time, so we know there's no problem on his part!! We're ready for one (or two! Twins are on both sides of our maternal family) of our own!

She's pretty...where are you from? I notice you write your dates "backwards" from how we do in America.

I am having pains on my right side right now, not like O pain or AF cramps...it's just sore and achy. What's going on?

September 23, 2008

AF showed up this morning, so we are officially at the one year mark of TTC. =(

September 24, 2008

Just because this is one year Doesn't mean it won't happen soon.Keep your head up James it will happen honey.

September 24, 2008

Thanks Typhani-

Good luck to you too, hopefully we'll both get our bfp's soon! I just called the DR's office to ask if I should continue this cycle with Clomid again since last month I didn't O...he's in surgery so I'm waiting for a call back. I do normally O on my own though but I need an extra little boost. We shall see!

September 24, 2008

Good luck!! I hope you get your BFP soon!

September 24, 2008

Most likely he will tell you to take it,your body might have needed to get use to the clomid.

September 24, 2008

You're right Typhani, I got a call back from the nurse and she said she spoke to the doctor who said to continue on with the Clomid. So I will be starting in about 2 days now (since it's almost tomorrow). I just hope I will O this time, I will def use OPK's and most likely have the 21 day blood draw. Wish me luck! Good luck to you all!

September 25, 2008

Good luck again!

I have a feeling your going to ovulate this cycle.Don't forget to BD all you can even before you ovulate just to cover every thing.It's going to be a good cycle im sure of it.

September 25, 2008

Thanks for the positive thoughts Typhani, doctor said to BD every other day from the end of AF to next (or hopefully not!) AF! So that's the plan, that way there's no way we can miss the "fertile window"...if there is one this time. =) Good luck to you tomorrow I hope you get your BFP!!

September 25, 2008

James good luck! Don't worry about it being the 1yr mark too much...I've been trying for 20 months next month.

September 25, 2008

Oh my. I will never understand why couples who are so ready for babies and can care for and love so much have a hard time conceiving or can't. Then there are the irresponsible party girls or teens with their one night stands that results in unwanted pregnancy. Then they don't take care of themselves and are not even aware of what a miracle it is.

Sorry just had to vent a little. Thanks recurrent...good luck to you this cycle. Hope everything works out for you this time!

September 25, 2008

james you didnt answer me back.Do you think it is to soon for morning sickness?

September 25, 2008

oh sorry, didn't see that question...I don't think so, HcG is a completely new hormone in your body, some women react differently to different levels of hormones. Morning sickness is the first sign for a lot of women, and sometimes the REASON why they test...so this is def. a good sign!! I'm wishing and hoping this is it for you!!

September 25, 2008

im starting to feel like i dont want to know.What if all of these signs are just causes from clomid.
