Clarabelle 32 you said you were going to trigger before seing positive OPK. How exactly do you trigger?

Hi Lalou! It does sound like you ovulated! I heard Clomid can increase ovulation pains, maybe because it's causing a stronger O? I think I might be ovulating today, my temps were still low this morning although I did have some pains... I'm also bloated and a little gassy though so not sure if those are related. I guess we'll see!

Hope you have been doing the BD to catch the egg!

Oh just saw your question about triggering. I was prescribed the ovidrel trigger shot because I've had issues ovulating on my own in the past, but I guess Clomid did its job this cycle! I triggered anyway to ensure all mature follicles release eggs

Yay Clarabelle ,, I was unsure for the ovulation yesterday but my basal temperature confirmed it this morning ,, I am ovulating. Also OPK was darker today so yes DH and I have been 3days in a row now. We will again sometimes tonight. We are really enjoying the process. I wish you a lot of as well. Will I say that tomorrow is my DPO #1 even if the OPK is + ? What do you all think ladies?

Lalou if your temp spiked today I would say you O'd last night, but it's a close one since your opk is still positive. So either today or tomorrow is 1DPO for you! See how your temp is tomorrow, maybe it will spike even more!

Either way I think you can say you're now in your tww!!

Hoping to start my tww tomorrow! Anyone else in or near the tww?! purelex? dsinha? MrsB11?

Nots sure how you ladies make it trying for so long. Its been 15 months for us but with a diagnosis of PCOS 6 months in, low response to Clomid, thin uterine lining, etc we feel like this is our first month to really have a chance. 13 days of Menopur injections and I finally have 4 follicles ready. Apparently there is a delayed reaction so they will grow more as I took last dose last night. I felt like they weren't big enough but RE said we can't push too much due to the number. R1=16.08, R2=15.5, L1=14.85, L2=13.25. Endom thickness 8.12. Trigger shot tonight and IUI on Tuesday. Baby dust to all!

Quick update from me: DP came home from his boys weekend of debauchery early this morning and my temp still hasn't risen so we may still have a chance this month. However I've been extremely sleep deprived, and quite stressed because of work and one of my cats has gone missing, so I'm not sure if my body will do it's thing this month.

Clarabelle31 I'm also hoping my 2ww starts tomorrow :)

The plan was to use OPKs this month, but I always forget to test, and it's a bit hard to do it in the middle of the day while at work, so just relying on temps for now.

Contemplating - CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Kmksmd and Mrsmawalla, sorry to hear that AF showed for you ladies. Will you be trying anything new/different for the next cycle? Stay positive!

dsinha, I really like Portland, too. My MIL lives about an hour away in Salem and I lived in Seattle for about 2 years. The PNW is gorgeous... we are headed back for a wedding next month and I am looking forward to it! Also, if you ever get the chance, go to Stingray City on Grand Cayman in the Caribbean (or any of the islands that offer a stingray tour, honestly). You really can hug them there and they are HUGE! I couldn't walk in the water without stepping on one, hahah.

Anyway, I hope your appointment at the end of the month goes well. Hopefully they have some good options for you!

Contemplating, I hope your bean sticks!! Congratulations!

Hannahsmom, good luck with your IUI! FXed for you. It sounds like you have a good chance now that everything else is under control. I hope you catch an egg this cycle!

Wishingforviolet, that's great news that you still have a shot this cycle... hopefully your body cooperates, but I know how upsetting and stressful a lost pet is... same thing happened to me a few years back. Check out MissingPetPartnership.org. They have tons of good information about finding lost cats, making posters, etc. Cats are very territorial and chances are he or she is closer than you think!

Clarabelle, yep, I am in the TWW and 5 or 6 dpo today, but not 100% sure which. I had an overnight go-live right around my O day and the temp I took just wasn't accurate at all after only 4 restless hours of sleep and at 2 AM. I am leaning towards 5 DPO though.. I will test probably Saturday or Sunday depending on how my temps and symptoms go this week.

Sorry if I missed anyone... this cycle!

Sorry about mrsmawalla.

Congratulations contemplating

I'm now in the tww I'll get a soon & anyone else who is waiting to test.

Congrats to contemplating.

I am going in for my first Follicle check later today. I am hoping it is like last month, where I was ready to trigger that same day. That way we can go in on Wednesday for the IUI. Though last time I was on CD 10 and today I am going in on CD 11. I am wondering if they will be even bigger this time.

Really hoping for my BFP, this round.

Hi everyone! 2dpo for me (based on OPKs) Started temping halfway through my cycle and have no idea what I'm looking at. I feel like my temps are really erratic but I don't have enough temps to give me a coverline I guess so hopefully next month will be better!
Heading out of town w my husband on Thursday for a long weekend. Excited, but nervous to leave my 2yo for 4 days. It'll be the longest I've been away from him but we definitely need some couple time. Hopefully it will keep me distracted from my TWW.

Congrats to the !! Hopefully it's the start of many more this month.
for everyone in the TWW!
