Waiting....I've not heard anything about stopping during ovulation. Why is this?

CD 23! And I'm getting excited (talk about up and down emotions)! My temp dropped this morning .5 degrees! Meaning today may be the day for ovulating! Test was negative this morning but Lh is usually low in the morning so we'll see what it says tonight .

@clg2012- Hi! Dh and I accidently got pregnant a year and a half ago but lost it at 5 weeks. Been trying for a year now. We feel silly charting sometimes too. At times I want to throw my BBT thermometer across the room and yell, " WHAT'S THE POINT!" Good luck honey! Hoping I'm in the 2WW with you soon. Has the doctor determined why it's taking so long? honey! Declaring fertility for you!

@alisha- Some herbs can be dangerous for a fetus. The red rasberry is fine but the fertilitea needs to be stopped once pregnant. And it's smart to stop at OV time incase you conceive.

Took an opk at 2:30 and negative . Holding urine again and I'll test at 6:30. Just feel like throwing my fist through a wall...anyone else feeling that way right now?

Just found out that dh's cousin is pregnant with 3rd kid and she's only 22 and not married . Can I be hit with anymore crap? The answer is yes, yes I can...

My insurance doesnt even cover copay for fertility specialist so if round 2 and 3 of clomid dont work...I'm up a creek without a paddle for having a baby for now. But with how I feel right now, I feel more like I'm up a tree covered in honey with a bear climbing up after me! I keep telling myself to have faith but I like any humanbeing...I'm feeling the sand running thru the hourglass and nothing in sight to stop it.

Sincerely,
the lady lying in a pool of self pity on the living room floor. Please cheer me up girls!

@waitingomymiracle..in nov of 09 I found 2 lumps in my left breast and finally saw a dr in jan of 10.. They never did a mamo or tried to determine what the lumps were(after switching drs turned out to be swollen milk glands)anyway.. at 5 months before I turned 22 I learned I had ovarian cysts that come and go leaving scar tissue in addition to that I was informed of premature ovarian failure-basically told me it was like pre menopause.. Other than that idk.. When I miscarried in sept last yr I was told I could try again in 3 months if I was ready.. The only test done was blood work making sure my levels dropped normal.. I have another calendar on my phone that keeps up w my cycle much like this one and according to it I was suppose to start today-no bleeding of any kind so far(fingers crossed).. I did just have a hard fall over a dog gate like 10 mins ago that left a 3 in gash in my leg-will a fall affect me if I am prego?? I wish you guys the best of luck! :))

Well..... the freakin bear make it up the tree and mauled me this evening. Opk negative and I find out from my inlaws that another of dh's cousins is pregnant. She's 42 and her two oldest are in college. Granted I'm happy she got pregnant at 42 (accident) but COME ON!!!! Almost started crying in front of dh's parents so I left the room before the waterworks started. I held them back. They keep trying to sneak out but I wont let em!

@clg2012- Awesome! Fingers and toes crossed that ur stays away! As long as the dog gate didnt slam into your lower abdomen I'm sure you're fine. Sorry about your fall though .

Waiting, I'm so sorry you are going through a hard time. You did well to keep your composure with your in-laws. My mother inlaw gave me pep talk on not stressing yesterday and I ended up crying in front of her. She did remind me how lucky I am that Dh is right there on this ride with me.

@waitingonmymiracle..im sry you had to encounter that yesterday.. Hope things look up for you..

Oh Tara I am so sorry you are going through all of this. I know all too well exactly how you feel. I hope we get our bfp's soon. Been temping testing and bding, haven't ov'd yet but we shall see what happens.

Hi ladies! Thank you for the support . On the upside, my father in law jumped to conclusions...it's not dh's cousin that's pregnant...it's her 19 yr old daughter . I'm curious how far along she is cause she has a tendency to withhold info from them (example: she introduced them to her NEW boyfriend, but didnt tell them they had been dating for a year .) Not sure if I feel better or worse about the situation .

I'm doing better today. Yesterday was still kinda rough. My sister wanted to watch "what to expect when you're expecting" so that was interesting trying to not to cry. Then she had a strange stomach cramp at the dinner table and my brother in law said, "baby???". She said no and he grunted. Oh man!....dh wanted to reach across the table with his fist. Wow, TTC can make you want to do crazy things! The only thing that calmed me was my nephew. His cute, little, toothless baby smile can cheer me up in an instant. I told dh that's why God had my sister get pregnant first...cause He knew my nephew would get me through my TTC difficulties . Anyways...I'm on cd 25 today my temp has been sharply up and down past couple days which is what happened last cycle right before I OV'd. Sooo, who knows?

Hmm???? Well, I'm seeing more and more stories of woman OVing late on Clomid...like cd 25-28 and getting bfps. So I'm remaining hopeful!

OMG TTC has made me so bipolar!

I'm sorry for being so up and down ladies!
