    So here is my story-
    I have been meaning to post this since the day I tested postitive!
    I am 25 and dh is 27. We have been ttc since our wedding night in July.
    Of corse like everyone else I thought forsure
    we would get pregnant right away,
    but no. Month after month all negitive tests.
    I was charting everything.
    After six months of ttc when we thought I was ovulating,
    we bought the Clear Plan Fertility Monitor.
    On the third month I got pregnant! I was not ovulating regular at all!
    One month is was cd 14 next month cd 21.
    We were always trying on day 14 and a few days before.
    I had used the ovulating sticks but they were giving me a peak too soon.
    Clear Plan Monitor was so much more accurate! To the day!
    I thought we were going to have to use Clomid or even more like invitro.
    Its so easy to think the worst.
    I feel so much for the woman who have to wait and try so hard tc.
    My heart goes out to them.
    Another few notes were that I started a workout routine,
    I read that exercise produces the hormone you need tc.
    I also ate a lot of carrots and took evening prim rose oil,
    it gave me way more cm. After bd I layed upside down
    with feet on slanted celing for seriously 2 hours.
    I had always layed with pillows under hips
    for 30 mins or more but nothing,
    so I was determined!! I have a tiped or tilted uterus which
    I did not know untill after I conceived.
    This made it harder for sperm travel.
    Good luck to all and hope this helps someone.
    If I could I would give someone my monitor I would,
    if you are serious buy one its worth every penny.
    My due date is December 20th.
    Now 10 wks.
    Best Christmas Present ever!!
    We saw heart beat and were given two ultrasound pictures.
    Dh had taken sperm count test and it said he was under 20 million,
    dont be discouraged you only need one!
    Tested on cd 25 and a very big +.
    I cryed for hours,
    looking at the stick every 5 minutes & cryed some more.
    It will happen for most of you, just have patients.
    Good things are worth waiting for!

    Hi there.
    I was one of the 10%
    who conceived fraternal twins
    while taking Clomid.
    It was the 4th cycle
    (two cycles of 50mgs and
    two cycles of 100mgs -generic brand).
    In fact, the doctor estimated that they
    were conceived three days apart. :)
    Good luck to everyone.

    I was on Clomid (50) for 2 months,
    and got pregnant the second month.
    Luckily, my symptoms were only minor.
    The period after month 1 was excrutiating,
    and I was convinced it would never happen.
    The 1st month, I O'd on day 18.
    Second month it was day 15,
    and I was using pre-seed, by the way.
    I never had great cervical mucus,
    so I think the pre-seed helped!
    I started having PMS symptoms (or so I thought),
    so I got my hair dyed and drank regular coffee.
    That night, I realized that my BB's were
    changing shape and were HUGE.
    Next day (10 DPO), I took a test and had a faint positive!!!
    I took 5 in all,
    just to make sure.
    The blood test was positive,
    but the HCG was low (40),
    but it was only 12 DPO.
    I'm at the beginning of week 6 and
    am constantly worried about complications,
    but so far so good!
    Thank God for clomid!!!!

    Hi! My name is Carla and I am 26 years old.
    My husband and I started trying for a baby in February 2002.
    After 3 months of normal cycles, my period never came.
    After many negative pregnancy tests, I started to think something might be wrong.
    I went to the gyn and he ran some blood work.
    The tests came back positive for PCOS.
    I was given a shot of progesterone to bring on my period.
    It came, but the next month never came either.
    I had to get another shot and was feeling pretty frustrated.
    I started on Clomid 50 mg cd 2-6 in October.
    For the next several months, I had periods that were normal,
    but no pregnancy success.
    In December I started 100 mg Clomid cd 2-6
    and Glucophage 1500mg every day.
    In January 2003, we found out that my husband
    had a low Seman Analysis.
    So, we had fertility issues on male and female sides.
    In February, I had a HSG test to see if my fallopian tubes were open.
    This procedure was very painful for me and showed no blockage.
    Five days later, I had a positive opk and my husband and I tried again for our miracle.
    I just knew that this cycle was a waste and we were to start IUI the following month.
    Ten days later, I found out that I was pregnant!
    There are several things that I credit to our success.
    The main reason is the power of prayer and faith.
    A friend from work suggested that my husband
    and I hold hands and pray every night for a baby.
    Even though we had been praying individually, I thought it couldn't hurt.
    One month after we started this prayer, we were pregnant.
    I also believe that the HSG cleared my fallopian tubes.
    Clomid and Glucophage helped to regulate my period and bring on ovulation.
    I am now 16 weeks pregnant and so thankful for our miracle.
    My advice for anyone reading this is never give up and believe in the power of prayer.
    I would read the success stories on this site and I knew that one day,
    someone would be reading mine.

    I think you have created a wonderful website to
    increase woman's empowerment of their own bodies and
    support for each other.
    I would like to share my success story because all of
    the stories I have read have given me such confidence
    in my own ability to conceive.
    Hang on this may be a long one:)
    I am 26 and my dh is 25.
    We have been together for 6 years
    and married for 8 months.
    We have been ttc #1 for 8 months.
    My story first starts out 5 years ago with a trip to
    the emergency room for horrible left sided pain,
    which turned out to be an ovarian cyst the size of a golf ball.
    After a lap I was also diagnosed with moderate endo.
    My Dr. perscribed Lupron, but i refused to take it
    because of the side effects. I opted for the Birth control pills instead.
    I then spoke to my dh whom at the time was only my boyfriend of 1year
    about my possible difficulties conceiving.
    He stated that was Ok because he may have trouble also
    because of an operation to fix an undescended testi at age 5,
    so he to was worried.
    So the years passed and we formed a wonderful
    relationship filled with love and respect.
    We married October 2002,
    and decided to try for children right away.
    I decided to go the Dr. for a yearly exam.
    2 weeks later i found out i had Severe cervical dysplsia
    which required immediate surgery. The risks of surgery
    all had to do with infertility. Now we have 3 strikes
    against us. My surgery went well with all of the precancer
    successfully removed. My dh and I were hopeless.
    5 months later (5 months of active trying)
    I went to church with my mother for MOther's day.
    There I sat at church miserable and hopeless
    and i prayed to God for a miracle.
    My miracle was granted 2 weeks later with
    a BFP first Response test.
    So Ladies just when you think there is not hope,
    there is.
    I know God will grant you all your miracles.
    Here were my symptoms-

  • Sore bbs the day after conception
  • High temps (i don't temp i just felt warm all the time)
  • Nausea
  • Crying all the time
    I wish you all the best of luck and prayers

  • Hi,
    Just wanted to share my egg white story, in case any one is doubtful!
    I have been TTC for over 2 years, and it has been a bumpy ride.
    After theinitial 12 months off TTC, I had a lap. done, and ended up back in hospital
    with a post operative infection of the abdominal wall.
    Nightmare. I then managed to fall PG in May 2002,
    but sadly lost my baby to a missed miscarriage at 13 weeks.
    Back to the drawing board.
    We have been renovating houses, moving interstate,
    dealing with loads of work dramas,
    and to be honest, the whole TTC thing was really getting me down.
    Since moving interstate I decided to try and renew my enthusiasm.
    I had read about the egg white thing,
    but wasn't sure if I had the nerve: too scared of a potential infection.
    At the arrival of my last period, however, I thought, why not.
    This month I am going do do every possible thing in my power to get pregnant.
    Here is what I did:
  • Took folate every day
  • Took 1/2 an asprin every day
  • Took my temp every day
  • Inspected my CM every day
  • Drank freshly squeezed carrot and grapefuit juice every day
  • Took herbal "Pregnancy Drops" (from a Chinese chemist in Sydney, Australia) every day.
  • Had sex twice around ovulation only.
    (Normally we would "go for it" and have sex about 6 times,
    but we were aiming for quality no quantity!)
  • The second time we had sex was on the day of ovulation,
    AND WE USED EGG WHITES,
    EXACTLY AS PER THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE TTC SITE!
    And the result? No infection at all. And 2 weeks later..............BFP!!
    (In fact I have done 2 HPT.........both have come up +++++++++!)
    So, if anyone is doubtful, don't be.
    It is the only thing I have done differently this month,
    so I am giving credit for my BFP to the raw egg whites!
    Thanks Momma Kath.......

  • I started clomid @50mg on days 5-9 on the first cycle,
    and felt like a raving lunatic! No luck...
    BUT on the second cycle of the same dose we got
    PREGNANT!!!
    we are 9 weeks and counting our blessings.
    We had tried for quite a while,
    so I'm here to tell you girls, it works.
    Thank heaven though because my husband was threatening
    to move into a hotel if we had to undergo another cycle...
    he joked that he'd come over to make his (donations)
    and go back to his room...(SMILE).
