HI, ladies
I'm a newbie and TTC for our first baby. Hope you ladies can help me relax a bit! lol! I'm not sure if there are ladies out there in a similar situation, and have not seen a similar thread, so I'm posting this one. I hope you don't mind. Here is my background:
DH and I are married for just over 1 year, but seeing that we married so late (Me at 27 and DH at 30), we do not want to wait before starting a family. I've been on birth control (Minerva) for a very long time - Since my teenage years, and are now off it for the last four months; the last three months actively TTC. Last month I started off with 50mg Clomihexal, with no success. This month, I completed a round of 100mg Clomihexal on CD 5 - 9. I am no on CD 22. I know I did ovulate - Had all the symptoms (I did not chart, or take a ovulation prediction kit), so I know that I indeed did ovulate. I just don't know exactly when!!EmbarassedI had extremely sore boobs and very sensitive nipples, cramping, lower back pain and headaches during the ovulation/fertile period, my CM was milky, then EWCM, then yellowish/milky afterwards (From about CD 19). I'm also now very cranky and moody and impatient - completely the opposite to my always happy, positive, patients self.SmileSo I'm really confused.
CD 14 fell on Friday, 3rd October 2014, which was also the start of my fertile period, as per the numerous calculators I used. DH and I BD'd on the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th. I have a relatively regular cycle, ranging between 28 and 31 days. I found that my cycle is longer since I've been on clomihexal. Before clomihexal, my cycle was between 27 and 28 days long, with a period of about 3 to 4 days. The last two or three months, however, I had a period lasting about 1/2 to 1 1/2 days, with very little flow. Might all be side effects of clomihexal??
I've been taking my prenatal religiously for the last three months, as well as metformin, as I am insulin resistant. I dont have PCOS, thankfully. I also had a full examination with my gynae on 28 July 2014, where he gave me an all clear.
Now my question is: Are there ladies out there that share a similar situation like me, or have in the past, who now have a BFP? When did you test? What symptoms did you have? Am I going crazy? Is the symptoms all in my head?
I know it is way to early to POAS, and I'm quite franckly too scared to pee on another R80 (Clearblue DigitalGrin). And I also know I'll never be sure untill I POAS and see my positive, I think maybe I just need reassurance? Or some motivation/guidance/support? I don't want to tell my mom or mother in law as yet, as it will be more devastating for them if it was indeed BFN again. So I'm really struggling through this alone.
Hope you ladies have some advise for me!
