Hello,
Well this month is to be my first IUI. I took clomid on days 3-7 of my cycle. I was told to start using clear plan easy ov. test startin on day 10. (apr 9) I did the test yesterday and today. I still haven't gotten a real clear positive.
Has anyone gotten a very easy positive or negative? I"m scared i may have already ovulated and now have to wait a month because I wasn't sure?
I hope the next 3 tests there is a CLEAR positive.
My two friends just had babies. I'm happy for them but a little sad inside.
My other friend just found out she was pregnant and wasn't even trying. She didn't even say that she felt bad...it was like she was rubbing it in my face. I guess I'm being a little selfish. But my dh and I have been trying for over 2 years :(
Well best of luck to everyone! :angel:

Hi. My dh and I have been ttc for almost 4 1/2 years now, and we are just starting the steps of our first IUI. I go on Wednesday to do a Chloma Check, whatever that is. And from there, I don't know what comes next. I haven't been told to use a predictor kit, yet, so I can't answer your questions as far as that goes. I know how you feel about your friends who are having babies. I just found out that some friends of ours are expecting their 2nd child. I am very happy for them, especially since the woman has had several miscarriages along the way. But, I too, have that little tinge of jealousy and sadness. I just found out another friend of mine is also ttc. I feel like she has decided to make it a "race" to see who conceives first. How sick is that? I wish her well, but will be sad at the same time when she conceives...not for them, but for us. We really do want children, and after trying for sooooo long, it's easy to get very sensitive on the subject. Hang in there!

Good Luck and God Bless,

Hey squirt,

I'm a little frustrated right now. I have done the 5 OPK tests with NO positive. I'm waiting for the call back from the fertility clinic and see what comes next.
I should have ovulated by now because i was on clomid? Maybe I threw my self off cycle because I was so excited.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend who's ttc. I totally agree about the race b/c I feel like that what my friend was doing.
So when specifically is your IUI? I hope it works out!
:) S.

Hi, S.

I don't really know what to tell you about the opk. I remembered that I had to do one after I had the tube block test done, because the doc said that was a great month to ttc. Mine seemed to take forever to say I was ready, but I don't remember how long it was. I was soooo frustrated, because here was the best month for us ttc naturally, and I ended up with bronchitis and walking pneumonia while I was ovulating. Needless to say, we tried anyway, but I didn't really have much hope with me being as sick as I was. I don't know when our IUI is. Tomorrow is my first visit to start this whole thing, and that will be to do a Chlomid Check, which I guess is an ultrasound to check for cysts, before starting the Chlomid. I should know tomorrow afternoon what all comes next, and when the next steps are to happen. I am excited, yet nervous to think that if it works, I could be pregnant by this time next month. It's a little overwhelming, so I try not to think about it too much, but that's easier said than done.

Will talk to you soon. Keeping hoping and praying!

HI squirt,
I know exactly how you're feeling! Because hopefully next month at this time we'll be pregnant. The dr. called back and told me to test for 3 more days with the OPK. IN hopes that i'm ovulating later than thought.
Everyone tells me also to not to think about it but it's sooo hard when you have the TTC dates down to a t.
I hope everything will be ok for you to use clomid. This is my 4th round. It's weird because initially the problem was with my DH and his S/A. And now i'm not ovulating when we thought i was. arghhhh what;s with my body????
I do know that clomid has worked for 2 of my friends, so there is hope. I"m trying to "patiently" wait until tomorrow morning to do another OPK test so we can go for our first IUI.
MAybe I'll go wash windows :) lol
talk to you later!
S.
