July 11, 2008
SO I AM 31 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE THREE CHILDREN MY HUSBAND IS 39. SO ABOUT A YEAR AGO WE DECIDED THAT WE DEFINATLY WANTED ANOTHER CHILD SO WE STARTED TO TRY AND WE IMMEDIATLY GOT PREGNANT. AT FIVE WEEKS WE HAD A MISCARRIAGE. I HAD ON IN BETWEEN MY FIRST TWO PREGNANCIES AND WENT ON TO HAVE TWO MORE HEALTHY CHILDREN. SO I JUST FIGURED IT WAS A FLUKE. THEN THIS IS WHERE INFERTILITY SHOWED HER UGLY FACE. STARTED TRYING IMMEDIATLY.....NOTHING PERIOD WAS LIKECLOCK WORK BUT NO BFP THIS WENT ON FOR 7 CYCLES THEN FINALLY AGAIN BFP THIS TIME MY DOC SAID YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IT IS GONNA BE A GOOD PREGNANCY NEXT DAY MISCARRIAGE EXACTLY AT 6 WEEKS. SO NOW I JUST GOT MY SECOND PERIOD AND I WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND HE SAID I HAVE TO GO ON CLOMID. I WAS RELUCTANT ALL THE MONTHS BEFORE BECAUSE OF THE CHANCE OF TWINS. ANYWAY HE JUST STARTED ME ON 50MG OF CLOMID DAY 3-7 I OVULATE EVERY MONTH ON MY OWN HE IS HOPING IT WILL RAISE ALL MY HORMONES TO SUSTAIN A PREGNANCY. ONCE I AM PREGNAT I WILL HAVE TO TAKE LOVENOX INJECTIONS TO HELP PREVENT A MISCARRIAGE. ( I ALSO FOUND OUT AFTER TESTING THAT I HAVE MTHFR AND PROTHROMOBIN THEY BOTH HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH BLOOD CLOTTING. SO I AM REALLY PRAYING THAT THIS WORKS. GOOD LUCK TO ALL
That must have been horrible! But I can imagine it will all be worth it when you finally get that BFP, I've heard such great success stories with using Clomid. I haven't yet taken that second test, I think part of me is so worried about getting another negative that my heart will break. Our first was an accident, in fact I was even on birth control. I hadn't the slightest idea trying to conceive would be difficult. I can;t imagine how hard it must be for those who try for years and years without success. How old are your three children?
That what my husband and I had wanted. The first to be really close in age. We've got a lot of really great things going on right now and we feel we're ready, at least we think we have the energy right, ha. Sounds like you have a busy busy household. But I do understand the drive to have another. I tested this morning at day 40 and got a BFN. I just don't understand whats going on. I have noticed an increase in CM but nothing more than that. Just a skipped period this month? I've never experienced that in my entire life. The earliest appointment I could make with my OB was the 20th of August due to a busy work schedule. AHHH, I feel completely frustrated not knowing anything about my body.
could it be that you are ovulating now? that is weird. i read your story good luck with the new buisness. I am in the same field I am an ABA therapist. I provide Special education servcies to children under three with pdd. Why dont you purchase answer ovulation sticks there is 20 to a pack and see what is going on maybe you didnt ovulate when you though you did it is also possible that you ovulated twice maybe once from each ovary. If you get your peiod the other thing that is highly recommended is clearblue easy fertility monitor. because it tells you the exact peak day no guessing
Funny you mentioned the clear blue fertility monitor, I'm trying to get one on ebay right now. They certainly are pricey but seem that all the guess work is out the window, which would be great! My husband works a night shift so timing bding is hard at times. It would be better if I could let him know when and where. So how does clomid help? I've heard a little about it but not enough to know much. Pretty hopeful about this month I bet...
I'm getting those low abdomen cramps, i bet AF is soon to show up.

well clomid is supposed to make you ovulate i already ovulate like clock work. but my doctor seems to think it will make a better egg. and will keep my hormones where they are supposed to be if you start getting these cycles where you are going 40 days with out getting a period you should talk to your doctor about it. i would first try the fertilty monitor and give this a try. you are young and have a lot on your side i would give it to your sons first birthday.
Ha, a better egg! Its amazing what all these medications can do. I hope for you the best, seems like with that extra boost you'll do great. I assume this will be your guys last little one. It will be awesome to watch your oldest interact with the baby to be someday. He'll be a great help no doubt. I'll have to check in with my gyno next time I go. This is definitely the first time I'll be going talking about fertility. My little man was a big big surprise. I can moan and groan but I know my trials aren't easily compared with others. I have it pretty great I know. I guess why I get frustrated is, when I got pregnant with Eric he was a product of 3 days of skipped birth control and now here I am trying and it doesn't seem to be easy. This month I'm going to chart a lot and talk to my gyno and see where we're at.
today has been a hard day and ia m not sure why i am on day 9 and had my last dose of clomid on day 7. just feel really emotional like i can cry at the drop of a dime. I really want this to work this month I put everything into this. I just feel like this is a full time job between the supplements, baby aspirin, clomid and then starting the progesterone on day 21 i am just freaked out. i have an appointment on monday for a follicle check what if i already ovulated then how will they no if i made follicles. if it is true and you ovulate five days after last pill that would leave me at friday the 18 and my appointment isnt till the 21st but the doc said he checks day 14,15,and 16
Breathe breathe breathe.... I have no doubt you have a lot on your plate including all that crap in your body. Its okay to get a little emotional. This is a big deal and most likely your last little one. But think about why your doing this... think about the next one to make his/her entrance in the world. Your doing this for a good reason!!!
i saw the lafemmebonita but when i click on the link i cant find it where did you find the counter that is saw awesome. i think i am getting ready to ovulate mucus is increasing and starting to get some slight pains but on both sides i wonder if that means i may ovulate from both sides form the clomid

Yea maybe you'll ovulate on both sides...can we say twins? lol, j/k...u never know! I never felt ovulation pains..b4...what does it feel like? I havn't had cervical ovulation mucus..in 4ever...last time I remeber was b4 my daughter was born (guess that explains why I don't alwayz ovulate). Oh & I took clomid b4 w/other meds in conjuction...etc...for 5 cycles...& had 2 pregnacies from it..all singleton...but of course they resulted in m/c( :-( )...well I wish u luck!
If u need any advice I'm hear..as I hope u'd return the favor as well! oh btw...just go to the website & look under tickers...under development.
