Anyone in my TTC phase?
1 DPO- beginning TWW
It seems that I try a while, and then give up- it's hard! I've had several miscarriages, and have wanted a baby for the last 10 years. Well DH and I decided to try again. This time I have been taking Fertibella for about 3 weeks. It's pleasant to take, and has only the side affect of making me feel tired. I think it may be due to some of the herbs in the OTC fertility supplement. I OPKd for several days after my period since I didn't know when I would ovulate. I was beginning to think I was annovulatory this month, did not test on CD 22, but decided to test on CD 23 with pos OPK, and not pos the next day. We BD three times this week. Today is 1 DPO. I was only feeling some twinges which I think was ovulation, but really could have been anything. I pulled out an old journal today that was dated for the end of December 2008 when I tried Clomid with no luck....time passes by so fast. I will update here on future DPO events. Hoping this one sticks, and that the Fertibella will help balance my body's needs to support a baby.

July Cycle Chicks
Hi ladies,
I was taking a break from these boards for a while just to get my head together. To update you on everything here goes:
I have done a total of 2 rounds of Clomid. The first month on Clomid I was working with a Dr. who had no clue what he was doing and messed up my cycle. When AF arrived I left that practice and moved over to IVF NJ, which I heard great things about. The new Dr. increased my dosage of Clomid (100mg), had me do the Ovidrel shot along with an IUI (Monday, June 10th).
I was just coming home from vacation, when my AF arrived on Thursday, June 23rd. I went back to the Dr. for blood work and ultrasound That next day to see when we should start the next round of Clomid, but I got a call back that day saying my levels were too high(200) and I have 2 left over mature follicles in my right ovary from the previous cycle.
Naturally I was confused and didn't know what was going on, but Dr. said to start OPK testing on day 3 of my cycle(Saturday, June 25th) b/c I may ovulate a week early this month.
Well on Day 5(Monday, June 27th) of my cycle I got the positive LH surge. We only baby danced the day before the surge and that Wed
(June 29th), so who knows if that was enough to make it work, but my blood work showed that I did ovulate.
My Dr. told me that if AF doesn't arrive by Tuesday, July 12th, that I will be brought in for a pregnancy test. So far the only sign of AF coming is cramps. I don't want to get my hopes up b/c last month my cycle was so out of sorts. If AF DOESN'T show up Tuesday I will go for the test , but not get excited until I have reason to be. If AF DOES show up then we move on to our last round of Clomid, Ovidrel and IUI.
How is everyone else feeling? I wish us all lots of baby dust and I am happy to be back on the boards.

frustrated and sad, need some support...
Hi everyone I am new to this board. My husband and I have two beautiful children. And have been trying to have our third for about a year and a half pushing closer to two years. I only have one tube and ovary, severe endometriosis, and constant ovarian cyst, plus thyroid problems. My doc finally got my thyroid under control hopping that would help with my fertility. But no such luck. I really got my hopes up this month. I normally have a 28-30 day cycle, and i am 4 days late. So i got all excited my husband was ecstatic just at the possibility . But this morning when i went to test i got that ugly one line. And my heart felt like it instantly broke. I hate hoping and thinking finally then just having it taken away. But i still haven't had my af. Just had some very very light on and off pink sp. But not even a need for panty liner. So hopefully af will just come so we can try again. Well i would appreciate and enjoy any comments and support. My family and friends don't really seem to understand. If there husbands just look at them there preggo. So its a bit hard or they are pregnant. Thank u for reading my post and best wishes and lots of baby dust to all of you!!!!

9 Days into my tww, anyone else at the same point?
9 days into my tww and am seriously driving myself crazy! I have been looking up early pregnancy signs on a daily basis and trying to figure out if I have any of them! I've been extremely thirsty lately and having a restless sleep for about a week. I could just be playing head games with myself as well. AF is due in 4/5 days and am wondering if it is too early to take a HPT?
