Alot has happened since that time. I was on Clomid a bit more after I tried the Femera, with no luck with either. I then did 2 rounds of follistim. One that " didn't work at all" and I had to stop mid cycle, the 2nd over worked, I was overstimulated. Well since the last cycle we took a break. We went to Puerto Rico on vacation mid January and I came back and 2 weeks later I found out that I was pregnant!!!!!!!!!!! I laughed and cried and laughed and cried, I thought this couldn't be. I had stayed home sick that day ( have a chest cold) and my husband who was also home for his regular day off encouraged me to take a test. I told him he was crazy, it was a waste of money etc, but he pushed so I took it. And low and behold there were 2 lines. I started to cry and laugh at the same time. I couldn't believe it was true. We called the doctor ( of course its close to 430 when they close) and they basically tell me they'd call me tomorrow. Being that I know I needed to be on Lovenox ASAP I was a bit freaked about this, but was too happy to worry too much. Thankfully they called the next day and I was put on the medication ASAP after that. So I'm still super happy and excited and can't believe we did this w/o any assitance with fertility meds. I'm also a bit scared at this point. I'll be super excited once we're through the first trimester. I'm also going for an ultrasound and my first doctor's visit on Feb. 12th, so I'm excited and worried about that as well. Well I'm hoping I will be posting more now. That's all for now. ]]> NikkiRMO http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/nikkirmo/39133-suprise-suprise.html http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/nikkirmo/56014-whats-new.html Mon, 27 Feb 2006 15:15:14 GMT Well its been a while since I've posted in my "blog". Well a lot has happened since last I wrote. I have switched from Clomid to Femera. Been on it for 4 months. The first month, just the med. The next month with the trigger shot, and the next missed the window, was going to get IUI done. This month, O'd on day 15 and had IUI done. On CD 22 today, going to get pregesterone level done today. Also am taking progesterone 2x a day til either + preg test or AF shows up. I've been having weird cramps all week, I guess that is what you can call them. My uterous feels strange. I'm also VERY VERY VERY emotional and somewhat depressed. I feel so hopeless some times that I will never get pregnant. I saw a woman with an adopted baby over the weekend and got even more upset. So anyway, today I have hope, so I'll take each day as it comes. Will post when I find out the results of this months stuff. ]]> NikkiRMO http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/nikkirmo/56014-whats-new.html http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/nikkirmo/65582-feeling-normal-again.html Thu, 01 Sep 2005 12:31:06 GMT Well this week has been much better then the last few weeks.

I guess the doc was right about Clomid making you moody, wish he had warned me that it would happen at the end of the cycle not right after I take it. I was expecting problems right after I took it..kind of cought me off guard. At least now I know what to be prepared for this month, hopefully will get pregnant, but if not will be ready for the mood swings. :banghead: DH and I have had some really good talks lately. He's in for the long hall of this infertility stuff. I keep reminding myself I haven't really been trying that long, but some days it feels like forever. :cuss: OH well life goes on. I'm just glad I feel well today :). ]]> NikkiRMO http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/nikkirmo/65582-feeling-normal-again.html http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/nikkirmo/65803-so-goes.html Thu, 25 Aug 2005 14:29:19 GMT okay so....last week was like the worst week ever. I was so hormonal I thought I was going crazy. I cried at the drop of a bucket and got angry just as quick. I couldn't stand being around myself so I'm sure DH couldn't stand being around me either. Took like 3 pregnancy test in one week because I was way past day 28 of cycle and no AF. I waited, talked to doctor, felt like I was going to exploid....he said wait til day 35 take another pregnancy test then. Well day day 31 I had minor spotting right after I took the third pregnancy test!! Then it stopped until Sunday and then it came full force...so not preggers. I was so upset and felt so let down. I know its only my first month back on the Clomid, but by my history I usually get pregnant on the first month, of course those previous two times have had miscariages, but still. So this month I'm gonna try and be more realistic. I'm not going to be " sure" I'm pregnant as soon as I missed my AF by one day.

Oh and over the weekend one of my Best friends told me that she was pregnant..ugg...it just hurts so much ya know? Its not that I'm not happy for them, but its so frustrating that its so hard for DH and I to conceive and othere are able to do it right away. Soooo.....that's it for now i reken. ]]> NikkiRMO http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/nikkirmo/65803-so-goes.html http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/nikkirmo/66320-08-11-2005-07-43-am.html Thu, 11 Aug 2005 12:43:56 GMT Well I went to the doctor yesterday. First time meeting with the Maternal and Fetal medicine High Risk Doctor. She was really great. She spent a ton of time with me and explained thing to me how all of my medical issues will affect pregnancy. I'm going to stay with the fertility specialist until I get pregnant and then I will have her as my doc throughout the pregnancy. I'm so glad to have a nice doctor. It really makes a huge difference. Anyway got work to do need to get going.

Last month I was able to get my period on my own, I sure hope that happens agains then I won't have to take Provera. Then Clomid again....then wait and see. I'm going to the hemotologist again at the end of this month. I most likly have antiphospholipid syndrome and will have to take Heprin throughout my pregnancy, but hey if it keeps me from having a miscariage then I'll do whatever it takes. Okay...back to work. ]]> NikkiRMO http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/nikkirmo/67083-keep-going.html http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/nikkirmo/67507-long-month.html Thu, 02 Jun 2005 16:44:37 GMT Well its been a pretty stressful month. I was pregnant...found out on mothers day. I was so happy I can't even tell you. Well then a week after we found out I started to have some problems and then I had miscariage # 2. Well Bob and I went to the doctor and he tested the both of us for many different things. And as it turns out I don't clot currently. So now I get to see yet another doctor to try and figure out how to fix that problem. So this is actually good news because at least we know how the miscariage happened and hopefully will be able to fix the problem so it doesn't happen again.

So anyway leaving for Florida tomorrow to see my family. I can't wait. I get to see little Isabella who I've only seen twice since she was born. I also found out that I get to see my nephew. He is leaving for the summer on Saturday, but will get to see him tomorrow. :) Can't wait. Anyway that's all for now.Will be nice to see my mom. ]]> NikkiRMO http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/nikkirmo/67507-long-month.html
