Well no baby for us this month. My AF finally showed up, she came on CD 33, 16 DPO. grr… but I am looking forward to trying for a May baby! This month I have 15 OPKs and I think I may order preseed too! I am officially on CD 2 today and will be taking 50 mg Clomid on CD 5-9 again. Thanks for all the baby dust I will keep everyone updated!
my 1st Clomid Cycle! July 24, 2008
UPDATE: TMI***
My cycle started on June 25th
CD 5-9 on Clomid 50 mg.
CD 9-16 Clomid side effects > hotflashes, no CM, mild cramps
CD 16-18 I got the flu, also O’d (+ OPK on 17 and 18) still no CM, bad cramps
CD 18-25 Mild cramps, lots of thick white CM, pregnant maybe?
CD26 BFN 
stilla lot of CM, very tired today
CD 27- hot flash in am, weird dreams, boobs really sore and heavy, BBT 98.6
CD28-29- weird dreams. CM, boobs still sore…and have grown BBT 98.6
CD 30-hot flash, CM, very sore boobs, some cramps, testing tomorrow! BBT 98.7 
CD31- BFN 
, sore hips, sore boobs, cramps, BBT 98.8
I am going to get a blood test on monday CD 34 if AF hasn’t shown up by then. Don’t get your hopes up though, Clomid has been known to mimic pregnancy symptoms. Wish me luck! and those of you on Clomid, did you have these symptoms/side effects?
I hate the wait July 7, 2008
ugh…. I hate waiting all the time. I hate waiting to O and then even more so the tww. I just hope that this is my last month of waiting for those two and I can start waiting for my miricle to grow. I am so ready to be pregnant it hurts. I can’t just pretend anymore that it is not a big deal and that maybe next month will be my BFP. I am just feeling discouraged today! I hope that my OPKs work and I O soon. Grr….
Sorry for the venting but it had to be done. lol.
Babydust to all!
1st day using OPK July 6, 2008
So today was my first experience with OPK and I am already confused. I am using the Answer brand OPK and I knew both lines show up no matter what but how do you know when your ovulating? I never imagined that it would be this hard TTC. I mean both Tyler and I are very healthy average people who are young and should have no problem. Ugh… what do you all think? Am I ovulating yet?
First OPK
Update July 6, 2008
I thought it may be helpful to start this blog by updating everyone on my journey so far. My DH Tyler and I started ttc in September of 07 thinking this would be a short and wonderful experience. Well thanks to my ever changing cycles it has been anything but that. Shortly after beginning to ttc we realized that my cycles were very irregular and long (35-40 days). In Jan. I went to my first OB appt. to discuss my options, at that point we had only tried BBT charting and were hoping to here some answers. Well we were told that we would not be considered infertile or given and medication until closer to our one year mark. I left very disappointed, I had hoped to be given some answers and a chance at really ttc. So we continued on our way ttc and were getting very hopeful when at the end of April my AF disappeared altogether. I called my OB and after many test I still got a BFN. My OB told me that since I was now skipping my AF altogether I could go in to see a specialist to get on medicine for “irregular periods”.
Finally on June 27th, I went in to see my new OB. He informed me that because my cycles were so long that my uterus walls were getting too thick and were unable to house a fertilized egg. At last an answer to my problem. He immediately started me on Clomid. I started taking it on CD 5-9 and lucky did not have any side effects. I am now on CD 12 and just started to use OPKs.
Both Tyler and I want a baby more than anything and it has been very frustrating not being able to do so. We are luckier then some though and we are so very thankful that my problem is hopefully fixable. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and enjoy our journey!
