FRIDAY TTC POST

Hi girls! How has this week been going?? Looking forward to some BFP for those in the 2ww! Shari

Caley~ I added you to the list, but not sure how long you have been trying? I read about your recent loss and wanted to send some sticky baby dust your way.

Lisa~ Good luck with this cycle. Sounds like you have the timing down!

Leslie~ Are they monitoring your cycles on the clomid??

Sherry Lynn~ How is the soy working out for you? I didn't have much luck with it, but then again I was clomid resistant too.

Tami~ I am so sorry you have such mundane cycles and all. I really pray each day that you will get your bfp. I know it has to be hard, I can't really imagine. Just know that I am thinking of you and I am here, or on fb if you need to chat okay.

Nikki ~ I totally agree with Jules. See if you can hang on it. I had to drop down to 1500 because that was all that my tummy would handle...but that was enough to regulate my cycles and get me pg 2 times!! Also, what dose and when are you taking yours?? I had better luck if I took it with a carb/protein snack like a few crackers and a slice of cheese. And I believe there is an 800 mg dose that you could do 4 times a day instead of trying to cram 2500 into 3 doses.

Julia~ Good luck with your trial of stuff to help you ovulate sooner. I hope it works!

Hey Shari,
Thanks for adding me to the list...we have been trying for four years prior to my rny and just now started trying again in June since my miscarriage this past January.  I test on Wednesday, and I am 99% sure I am preggers, so maybe your sticky dust  worked its magic :-)

Started my clomid  again thursday.  Round 2!  They are not monitoring my cycles on clomid.  MD said to come in after 4 - 5 rounds (he gave my a script for 5 refills) and if no luck, they would do an ultrasound to see.  My chart looked so good last time!  Who knows? Maybe this month will be it!  Good luck everyone!

Hi,

  Not really trying at this point, and not preventing.  My husbands schedule has not worked out so that we are able to try during ovulation.  Hopefully once it settles after summer, timing will be better.

   Have a good week

Still in the 2WW, it seems to be taking forever...

Love your new pics Shari... Not sure if there's supposed to be more than 4, I see 4 and some symbols :)  But love the new ones I see.

Hi Shari,

Soy seems to have worked for Ovulation this month.  Fertility friend says I o'edlast Monday, so here I sit 7dpo as of today.  There is a link there to my chart if you feel like peeking.  Keeping my FX....LOL

Well, BFN for me...AF showed her ugly face yesterday...My hubby is gone all month with the Army, so we'll try again in August and hopefully we'll be successful then.  Best wishes to everyone else this month!!

CD 6...as usual not a thing to report.
