I'm 5'1" so I feel you on the 10lbs. I'm so sorry this cycle didnt work. Everytime dh has to jizz in a cup, I feel so bad for him. But he says he has learned so much from me that he knows that the timing has to be so precise with the perfect sperm and egg, that he's willing to do anything for our best chance. The iui is still his sperm, it's just the best sperm, spun up into a frenzy to make them fast and egg-crazy lol!

I think one good egg is good with 100mg clomid. Clomid can mature more than one egg but everyone is different. Rarely people get 3 but for the most part..it's usually 1 maybe 2 eggs. I got 1 egg on 50 mg but almost always had 2 on 100mg. However, femara didnt mature any eggs for me :/. I'd give femara a try for the heck of it but if i had injectables available, I'd do those. And femara does not thin your lining nor does it cause cysts (well maybe in some cases but the possiblility is low compared to clomid). Did the clomid thin your lining?

Wow it took me at least 15 mins of reading to catch up :)

I've been feeling so hopeless with ttc so I just did whatever whenever..but this cycle something. Is really make me wonder?..

I've never felt this before..few days ago I started getting pinchy feelings right under my belly button. When I gget up or walk around for a while I feel it more..i. Don't have any sore boobs (which I normally do :s) yesterday I brushed my teeth and afterwards felt like ive been sucking on a nickle?? So weird.

10dpo today af due on Monday. Very mild af cramps that come and go (last 3 mins long?) don't feel as much pinching, tested this morning with fmu obv the usual BFN..my temps are still high..i dunno. It's not like me at all but I keep denying all my symptoms as pg symptoms to dh because it's so heartbreaking every month..

That's a nice chart!!!!
Not gonna lie, I'm so nervous for you! Please please please keep me updated!!

Miracle-Will you be testing soon? I keep looking at your page for new hpt pics. Fingers crossed for you! <3

@adiggs- I wish! My recent bloodwork showed my testosterone is likely too high to ovulate even with the meds and my temp never spiked. So no chance this round. I'll temp tomorrow just in case before I start my progesterone cream to jump start my cycle. Crappity crap crap crap. Cant believe I've reached the 3 year mark of ttc.

Tara for sure I'll be updating you! I don't feel anything really tonight no cramps or anything..not sure what to think about that..

By the way, Tara, have you ever tried having dodder seeds and red raspberry leaf tea? My doctor recommended I cut out on caffiene and have these instead as well as green tea. She said it really helps with something to do with stimulating ovulation I'm not sure..(maybe that's why I got +opks for 3 days straight for the first time?) I just wanted to share this with you and my other ttc sisters on here :)

:( Darn it. Well I will be keeping my fingers crossed for next cycle. So sorry hun that you've had to go through it so long. I had been trying since 08 with a year break in there somewhere and this time I've finally made it to the second tri, so I know it's possible, don't lose faith.*hugs*

@Adiggs- SAY WHAT!!!???
GIRL! I DIDNT KNOW YOU WERE PREGNANT!!!!! You never told me in our messages! OMG! HONEY!!! I feel so bad I didnt know. oh I feel like having a party for you! WOOHOO!!!

@sugaar plum- I never heard of dodder seeds before. I'll have to look into it. I did do red raspberry leaf tea when I was first diagnosed with pcos but my hormones were so screwed up that it didnt work. And the doctor didnt want me using it while on clomid just in case. But with my current situation, I may have to look back into it... did you test again today?

Here's an updated chart. AF due tmrw, SMU BFN. And cramping like the cramps I get the day I start my flow, but that went away after about half an hour. upset about the cramps and HPTS but my temp is still up? Hmm..going to try testing tonight and tomorrow morning.

*update; got a negative tonight. DH says he sees a "shadow" I don't see anything my eyes are going crazy. No cramps just feeling exhausted (could be because we are in the middle of moving)

Temp dropped and AF arrived. Ofcourse.
