I was on 50mg of Clomid for 2 months and the second month we conceived!! We were soooo excited!!!!! We had a beautiful baby girl (with a drug-free!!!!!! delivery). Now we are trying again but I'm not having too much luck so far. I'm going onto my fourth round of Clomid. Last month I didn't even ovulate : ( but we are not so stressed out this time around.

For all of you ladies out there hold thumbs.

Okay, So we really started trying in May, right after my period which was about first week in May. I didn't temp that month, I didn't really understand. My Doctor told me that in order to conceive within a year, we need to have sex every 2nd day. So we did:)

I kept track of everything.

Everyday starting on Tuesday June 26th, I had

DH and I were married in June, 1999. We had dated for over 5 years (we met in college). Children have always been a part of the plan, so it was a matter of timing for us. By our original plan, we would start trying next summer, so the baby would be born just before my 30th b-day. Well, I got anxious and convinced him that maybe we should start trying this summer instead. I had my yearly GYN appointment in March and mentioned to him that DH and I might start trying in a few months. Well, immediately he wanted me to start temping and told me that at a minimum he thought I would have to take medication (Clomid). I have very irregular periods and always have. The dr told me he thought that I was not ovulating and if I was it wasn't normal. So, I walked out of this appointment overwhelmed and confused. I never imagined that it might be this difficult. When I told DH about it, we came to the decision to throw away the birth control and officially start trying to conceive, since we might be facing a lot of difficulties.

Anyway, I started temping as soon as I got home from the drs. I had AF in Feb, but nothing yet in March. Well, my temps were a straight line, definitely no O. So, I took provera to bring on AF. The next cycle I began temping and had a progesterone test on day 21. The level was .7, but at about day 30 I started having O signs and then my temp rose. I didn't figure that I could get pg, I was just happy that I didn't have to take provera! So, AF came and I had my prescription for Clomid filled. I was very lucky that I did not have any side effects from the Clomid.

The first month went well, I had good temps, O'd on cd 20, and AF arrived 16 dpo. I was a little disappointed, but I knew I was onto the next month. The next month went similarly, but I think I O'd on cd 17. I had some creamy CM for about a week after O, which I did not have the cycle before and I was so hungry all the time. Other than that I did not feel any different. I tried really hard to wait until 12 dpo to test, but I broke down and tested on 11 dpo and got a faint ++. Starting on 11 dpo, my BBs began to get tender, but still, no obvious symptoms.

I had my first beta at 16 dpo and the second at 18 dpo. Since I found out my BBs have gotten much more sensitive and the nipple area has gotten a little darker. I am beginning to feel a little more tired. When I go to sleep at night I am out like a light and I am not usually a heavy sleeper. I am still hungry all the time, but I have not had any morning sickness, yet!
That is my story. Sorry it is so long.
+++++ thoughts - Cindy (cindyann)

My temps were erratic at first because I was traveling and had a few sleepless nights but they did seem to go triphasic 11dpo.

I have had sore bb's for a few days and some minor nausea in the morning.
I love fish and other seafood and I seem to have a slight aversion to it now.
My heartburn has kicked in just as it did when I pg with my DD.
I knew I had to be pg when I got carsick. The last time I was carsick I was pg with DD.
I never thought this would happen but it has and if it wasn't for this site I would have lost hope.

Thank you ladies for all of your stories.
