Friday's follicle check showed one Follicle at 20 and a bunch of small ones. So I was given the trigger shot, and told to have intercourse over the weekend. I am pretty sure that I am ovulating today, since I am feeling some pains in m ovary area. We bd yesterday and a soon as DH comes home from work we will again. Then on Monday as well, just to make sure. I really hope we will be able to catch the egg.

Supermom - did you retest?

for everybody.

I did a first response digital and it said yes+ so out of excitement i opened to look at the lines inside but it only had one line. Then i googled and found that FR digital gives a lot of false positives! I have three frer and will pee on one in a little bit. 12dpo and still lots of cm and same symptoms I've had for a while. Except my breasts are a little less tender than they were a couple days ago.

Sending lots of positive vibes to everyone!
When i get ovary pain i usually assume the egg is being released within the next 6 hours. But i guess it's different for everyone. I will have some dull ache for 12hrs or so before it becomes more painful and turns into stabbing pain in my ovary areas and becomes tender to the touch.

SuperMom2: It sounds like for you for this month. I understand FRER may have false positives but all three of them sounds unrealistic. I still admire your patience and you being cautious to be sure that you are pregnant. Wish you all the best and hope you find out for sure soon. Come on test tine get super dark!!!

jeskalillis: It is good to know that you have one follicle at 20. Did you take Clomid? Is that normal? My RE gave me clomid with chances of having more than one egg. I was really hoping to see more bigger follicle but have one large one at 20 while the others are below 7. I am trying not to obsess especially considering it is our first cycle and that the doc will adjust the dosage based on this month's results. Are you guys doing IUI too? I had my follicle check on Fri and my RE asked me to trigger on Sat morning. However, he asked us not to have sex till Monday morning. We will get IUI first and then time to . Sorry about so many questions but I feel we are CB and are in similar boat.

Mrsmawalla1: That is a great question. I used to chart my bbt and would consider the day the temp. dipped as my ovulation day. Later I switched to using CB Advanced Digital predictor (purple) and that would give me a specific high fertility day with a solid smiley. I cannot really tell from my ovulation cramps but some ladies have distinct signs and can pinpoint better.

TheseMemories: I feel your anxiety and testing billion times. I think we women are geared up to test with the hopes of . It is natural to obsess and test. I hope you get the 2 lines soon!

AFM: I am waiting for the IUI tomorrow morning before work. I don't have any symptoms right now. I am just a little upset that I have only one mature follicle this cycle. This being my first IUI, I would request any and all information and tips about IUI. I would really appreciate that.

to all testing or getting ready to test. and to everyone who got a

Dsinha- I have had two IUIs. One in August and one in September. Both I took clomid for from CD3 to CD7. The first time I had two follicles, one on each side, that were large enough to trigger. I think they were around 17mm. The second time around I have 4, three on left and one on right side, that were all around 17 and 18. I took a break in October to talk to an RE, she said to just continue what I am doing for a couple more rounds. So this month I did clomid again, but kind of fudged up on the days I took it, so I don't know if that is why it didn't work as well as the first two times or if maybe my body has built some kind of tolerance already. But when I went in for my first check last Wednesday, I was disappointed that there was only one that was close, while there were several that were too small. I went in again Friday, and saw that the one I had that was promising, had grown to a 20 from a 16. And the other small ones were 10-13 and smalller. I am not doing in IUI this month because the clinic I go to is closed on weekends. So I was just told to have intercourse over the weekend. Hoping that we still have a chance to catch the egg, since the reason we are doing iuis is because my husband has low motility. I am also hoping that because this Follicle was bigger than the last times I triggered, it will help. Maybe this one will be a bit more matured and ready to be fertilized. Idk, just trying to stay as positive as possible.

Sorry that was kind of a long post. Good luck with the IUI. Hopefully you will be lucky enough to only have to do one. It sounds like the timing is as perfect as it can be.

AFM - I am still certain today is ovulation day. I have been feeling pressure and sharp pains in that area and when we BD it was a little painful. I think I am going to test December 5th. Hoping I can keep myself busy enough to not think about it.

Did a test at noon and one at 8pm (posted in my gallery). Can barely see a thing so not getting my hopes up. It was a pack of three tests and thinking I'll try to hold off until tomorrow evening.

Good luck tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed for your

Have fun with the ladies

I am Back. It has been awhile. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks pregnant in July. This was my third consecutive miscarriage. Now I am back TTC another. We have had no luck since the miscarriage. It was a full and complete natural miscarriage so It made things less complicated. We discovered the baby had a genetic disorder called Triploidy. Baby had 69 chromosomes. Baby had no chance at survival even if we had gone the full 9 months.

SO, this month I am going all out! My cycles are irregular and long. So, I am taking Fertilaid for Women (this helped shorten my cycles previously and helped my conceive my angel baby), drinking Fertilitea, taking dip strip ovulation tests, and charting BBT.

Also, I am seeing an RE since I have had three miscarriages. He has ran tests which all have come back normal. Today, I go for a hysteroscopy to see what going on inside my uterus and check for polyps, etc.

This site says if we conceive due date will be Aug 22 but since my cycles are long I know it will be closer to the end of Aug possibly early Sept.

Well I'm out for a late July baby, so new cycle - CD2. Yes, you can get false positives on FRERs like I just did, but I think it's because they are so sensitive that they pick up even a super low HCG count that never rises - CP I guess.

I got two faint positive FRERS and a faint Clearblue Easy before it went back to negative - then AF showed up just on time yesterday. So I was excited a little prematurely. Still, happiest 12 hrs of the last six months when I thought I was pregnant again. Sigh.

Ok, new cycle, new hope, and I get to drink wine for a little bit longer! I'm on baby aspirin, evening primrose oil during TWB and progesterone cream on TWW, and charting BBT and using OPKs.

One thing I promised my husband when we started this two years ago is that I'd never drag him to a RE. His ex-wife did for her issues and he hated it. So we go natural, or we don't get pregnant. So anything I can do to help the "natural", I'm doing it.

Anyone else have any tricks?

hello ladies,

I am sorry i am not keeping up but i do not have internet in my apartment. don t you hate it when the office signs with local internet provider and you have to wait for what seems like forever to get it? I am hoping sometimes this week or next week , we will hear from them.

I am officially in the August babies making. YAY!!! after what seemed like forever the witch has showed up with all the strength of my PMS. I am glad she is here though. Around 46 days previous cycle. It seems like forever.

Fingers crossed ladies.

I am hoping to have an August due date. Although I would be due around august 7/8 my babies always come a little early so probably actually have the baby late July. I took a test around noon and I can see a faint line! I am only 8 dpo so waiting to tell my husband until its a little darker. Also been feeling dizzy upon standing since this morning which was my first symptom with my third. I have 4 girls and would love a 5th girl!

Hi ladies! I'm hoping to be apart of the August Mommy list. AF is due Dec 3. I'm trying my best to wait till then to test. Omg...the wait is so hard. So far I've resisted in buying any pregnancy tests. Lol! We'll see how long that lasts.
If I was pregnant this cycle it said the baby would be due August 11th.
Feeling hopeful....
