What are you doing to get knocked up? Things and stuff
RRCS: I'm guessing I didn't O the other day, no temp rise. Annoying because I had positive OPK, O pains, and EWCM all consistent. Going to keep using OPKs. I don't like the new thermometer, it's super slow and I just don't feel like it's accurate. It says it's supposed to give you a result in 60 seconds but I swear it took a solid 2 minutes this morning. I'm just annoyed with this cycle already. It's just... Weird. Idk. RE this week, they should be doing an u/s- will they be able to tell me if O'd already?
GTKY: What is the meaning behind your screen name? Mine is pretty self explanatory. I'm Irish lol

@irish, I don't think it's bad you haven't O'd yet since you're only CD10. The ultrasound will be able to tell the size of follicles you have growing and I believe they can tell if one recently released an egg so they should be able to tell if you're about to O or already did. If they do bloodwork too they can also figure it out.

What are you doing to get knocked up? Femara, IUI soon
RRCS: UGH my allergies! My dr doesn't want me taking nasal spray, just Claritin since we're TTC. I was TTC last allergy season too and still no baby. 2 allergy seasons without nasal spray just isn't fair!
GTKY: What is the meaning behind your screen name? Pretty self explanatory...I'm a teacher and hope to be a mom soon.
What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, OPKs, HIO with preseed.
RRCS: officially annoyed and hating my body. EWCM seems to have disappeared this morning. No clue when or if I'll finally O. I'm running out of OPKs and was really hoping I wouldn't have to buy more!
GTKY: What is the meaning behind your screen name? Cheezee is a shopkins character. These annoying toys DD was obsessed with at the time I made my TCF account.

daisy818, Any particular side effects a concern? I was also nervous before taking Clomid the first time. The only side effect I had for the 3 cycles I took it was it gave me headaches. Not terrible ones but just that annoying kind. Fortunately Tylenol helped and it was only for the few days I took it. It did start to thin my lining after month 3 so that it why I switched to Femara.

I'm concerned about reducing cervical fluid, but he is going to do a post-coital test for me when I O to make sure that there is good sperm survival and adequate cervical fluid, and if there is a problem we'll move to Femara. But right now I'm more looking at the side effects on the pharmacy info sheet (bloating! nausea! blurry vision! headaches! hot flashes!) and fearing the worst. Also, I'm supposed to start taking it Tuesday, which is both our actual anniversary and the day of my SS's 5th grade moving up ceremony, so I get to spend the whole evening celebrating other people's offspring instead of our anniversary - just hoping I'm not a nauseated bloated mess of hot flashes and headaches that night as well!
@irish you're pretty early in your cycle, I think it's ok you hav'nt o'd yet. Your u/s and blood at te RE will be able to tell if O is close or already happened. I think it's the blood that tells if you've already o'd? Not 100% on that though.
teachermomtobe oh that seems like torture. I'm so sorry!
daisy818 stay away from doctor Google. That's all the advice I have. ETA I hope your RE'S monitoring will ease your worries.
cheezee uhh I'm sorry for your body being a jerk. I hope you O soon! I hate opk's so much but still use them. I buy the biggest packs possible and still have to reorder - very frustrating.

What are you doing to get knocked up? Nothing yet.
RRCS: Thought my cramps are awful, I put my binge good away and I'm getting dolled up to spend the afternoon with a girlfriend at the Opera. I've never been so I'm excited! It's 3.5hr long though- I hope I can follow along and not get bored.
GTKY: What is the meaning behind your screen name? Well I'm not creative at all. I started using the Internet regularly when I was 20 so my usernames were always my name with the #20. I used this on the dump and when I made the switch here I just kept it the same. I wish I spent a few minutes coming up with something clever. But nope- same old boring username. Lol

RRCS: No temp increase today. Boooooo. I knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.

Thanks teachermomtobe I wouldn't be upset if I didn't O yet, since it was super early, just annoyed with all the confusion of positive OPKs and EWCM but temps that don't match up with symptoms. The wacky cycles have just been a headache lol.

What are you doing to get knocked up? Sex tonight hopefully (I've been OOT), pnv, Opks, cp, cm
RRCS: thanks to you ladies for your insight on my Opks yesterday. I got a glaringly positive this morning. Best I can hope for is to HIO tonight when I get home.
GTKY: What is the meaning behind your screen name? We are maple syrup producers (and beef cattle farmers- hence the profile pic) and I'm a mom.
mikaela20 yeah I definitely wouldn't be concerned if I didn't O yet. I was shocked to see EWCM so early and then a positive OPK on day 7. All the weirdness is throwing me for a loop. I believe it will be getting bloodwork that day too so hopefully they can tell me. Thanks!
I guess I'll keep taking OPKs and humping it out lol.
cheezee we've got shopkins all over our house but I never put your profile pic and name together! Stepping on them is almost as bad as stepping in Legos!
daisy818 ok now that you read what was on the pharmacy sheet, I would be freaked out too. I'm so sorry! I hope you don't get any of those!
It's my fault - DH actually threw it away, so I went to the pharmacy website to find the info. I'm a glutton for punishment!
You said you were doing a medicated cycle also - are you doing Clomid or Femara?
My RE wants to try 4 cycles of Letrozole to see how I respond. She only wants to have one egg released or else we have to avoid that month. This is just buying time until my MRI really. We will most likely go straight to IVF once they sort out my uterus business.

So true. I saw this the other day and thought I need those for all these damn shopkins!

Ugh sucks that it's your anniversary and you have to go to a graduation. Now that you mention it I was a slight bit nauseous but then again I get in my own head and if someone tells me they just got over the stomach flu I begin to immediately feel sick even though I'm not so it could have been in my head since I knew it was a possible side effect. I kept some crackers at work and that helped. I never felt like I was going to throw up, more of just "blah". We did an IUI on 2 of the 3 Clomid cycles so cervical fluid wasn't much of an issue. I had no hot flashes, blurry vision, bloating, or mood swings. FX for you that you don't have side effects. I must say on Femara I have no side effects at all so if you do switch that's good too.

Uuuhhh, I go here now!!
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD: 1
What are you doing to get knocked up? At the moment, PNV (been taking for over two years, nothing new) and BBT (been temping for 10 months).
RRCS: It kinda doesn't feel real that we are actually TTC this cycle. We've never *tried* to get pregnant before, so this is kinda a new feeling. Of course, at the moment I'm just cramping, bleeding, and wanting alllll the chocolate.
GTKY: What is the meaning behind your screen name? I've used wildflower various places on the interwebz and when I signed up for TK way back when I threw that name into the "username" box, then it automatically carried over to TD, and now here. 8/10 is our anniversary.

@irish, ugh, that's frustrating. I hope your RE appointment goes as smoothly as possible and you figure out next steps.
teachermomtobe, Have you tried a neti pot or local honey? I've had successes with both. The neti pot rinses your sinuses, local honey you eat about a tablespoon of a day during allergy season. Both should be safe for TTC.
What are you doing to get knocked up? Successfully remembering BBT and failing at remembering my PNV
RRCS: I keep doing chart overlay to see if my chart is resembling my ovulatory charts more or my bfp chart more. Someone yell at me that this is irrational, because I know it is! My FW is coming up this week and I'm hoping we can get in some better timing this time around. I like when O falls on or around a weekend.
GTKY: What is the meaning behind your screen name? Happened to like a certain song a lot when I signed up on The Dump. Just random. Google and you shall find

I use a neti pot but not regularly. I should get back into it.

What are you doing to get knocked up? Pnv and vitex
RRCS: still bleeding
GTKY: What is the meaning behind your screen name? Well when I joined the dump I just went by my last name and put a baby in front of it since I duh! wanted a baby. I didnt even realize there was forums when I first joined otherwise i mightve tried to be more creative. Then when I moved over here I used the same name. I briefly changed it to runningbuns for awhile, but got annoyed how it still said babystandish on my phone so I gave up and went back to my original name. I don't really like my username since it has my last name, but oh well.

What are you doing to get knocked up? All the things
RRCS: well, temp didn't spike as much as I thought it would today. I could've sworn yesterday was O. Will just have to wait out my temps over the next few days to see what happens. When I put dummy temps in for the next few days, it says today is O. That means we should HIO one more time. I was hoping for a break.
GTKY: What is the meaning behind your screen name? Ladytiffany24 - lady comes from an old fan group I was a part of. Tiffany is my name. 24 is my fav number. I've used this screen name for lots of things for years now. Clemama24 - I'm originally from northeast Ohio and love all Cleveland sports teams. I'm a mama. 24 is my fav number.
