Aww, all the old gang have popped back. I haven't posted in ages cos I was off the clomid & got a bit heart breaking every month. Still nothing with me but may be back on clomid in Aug.

Rileigh was due the 17th july but due elec c-section she was born 7th. Got request, nice to see you

Having a surprise :) Not stopped for ML yet, working till a week on Friday and have really had enough, can't wait to finish. Hopefully I'm more organised, I think the main problem just now is that the nursery is still full of junk and so all the baby stuff is still in boxes, haven't even seen my cot yet, it's still in its box!! Once I can start unpacking stuff I'll feel a lot better I think. DD is 13th July, 4 weeks today, exciting! Have sent a fb friend request. xx

Did you find out what your having? We're all very excited but it has flew in. Popsys on my fb her lo is gorgeous. I will mail you my user name if you want to add me have you stopped for maternity leave? I remember when you got bfp and how worried you were so glad alls good. I bet your more organised than you think.[Smile]. What's your due date? X

PS: popsy if you're reading many congratulations on the birth of your little boy

Been pretty good, after a scary start to the pg everything seems to be going the way it's supposed to. Very excited about meeting our pip although not feeling organised at all yet! Keep trying to run around getting things done then realise I'm exhausted and need to collapse on the couch :) Can't believe Rileigh's nearly one, time flies, hope you're both well and looking forward to the birthday celebrations.

Not long now highheels bet you can't wait! Well in 3 weeks my princess will be one got me thinking about all the ladies who got bfp's and who were ttcn thought I would come see how you all are. How have you been?

Hi stac, not a ttc buddy as you already had your LO when I came along but you helped me on my road to my BFP. I'm due 4 weeks on Wednesday, can't believe how close it is now!!! How are you doing?

Hi all suppose no-one really uses this thread anymore. Just wanted to post and see if any of my ttc buddies are still about? How are you? Xx

Hi all I'm a newbie.

I have had my first round of clomid, progesterone level was 61.9 but started period 2 days ago just started second cycle. was so disappointed as was feeling really postive that it would work. I have unexplained fertility and take brocromptine to manage my prolactin levels in my pitituary gland as I am making too much of it. Hoping this 2nd cycle will bring me luck!

popsy thanks for sharing your story. Very pleased for you and congratulations. It must be amazing to hold your son after so long trying for a baby!!

Thanks malibustac and ladybird - you are right, I shouldnt be disheartened. I suppose I was stupidly expecting miracles from clomid (I just got out of the scan when I posted the message) after many months of failure.

Anyway, I went back today for a scan (cd15) and my one lonely follicle has grown to 20-something mm with lining of 8.9-9.4 so all good. No other follicles at all, which I thought was a bit weird. The nurse has given me a syringe to inject in my belly tonight (ovidrel?) to provoke ovulation tomorrow. So we are timing intercourse tomorrow and the day after...Any of you had to use ovidrel? not looking forward to the injection & to the 2ww.

how are you all doing? at what stage of clomid are you?

Hi ladies, I hope you are all well.

Just a quick post to share some news with my mn friends and to give others some hope.
I gave birth to my gorgeous little boy almost 6 weeks ago:) He is amazing!
I had taken clomid for all in all 19months!! With a break of 10 years in between. The first 9 months didnt work. Fell pregnant naturally and then lost my beautiful little boy:( Fell pregnant again after 9months of clomid and 1 of metformin and unfortunately our little boy had pateaus syndrome and died in the womb. After a horrendous 2 years i was ready to give up and thankfully my hubby persauded me to try one more month. I did and we now have our gorgeous son.
A very short version of my ups and downs of ttc and clomid, but what i am trying to say that there is hope and lots of support on here for those that need it. This thread and others like it were my lifeline at the darkest times. Its sometimes easier to rant to those who know and to 'strangers'.
Take lots of care and i look forward to reading lots of good news stories.

Huge hellos to the ladies that ive ranted to along the way:)

xxxx

not be long lady i'll have to add you in fb so i can see pics of your gorgeous boy. You on popsys? Add me from hers if you are my pic is the 3 kids.

I'm good thanks stac, really want to meet my lo but have a feeling i will be waiting a few more days yet. Oh well he will be here by the 19th as that is the day i will be induced if he's not here by then :) Cant beleive your little girl will be 9 months, wow that has gone quick.

Cavemum hope the clomid works for you.

Oneyear sounds like you will still ovualte, get bd'ing over the next week :) Good Luck

hey oneyear i wasnt offered scans but from what others have said they will just be rechecking to make sure its doing what it should. They prefer one follicle as clomid can overstimulate your ovaries causing multiple births or hyperstimulation which is dangerous. Dont be disheartened if you usually ov on cd 18 your follice is still doing the right stuff. Good luck

Girls - i need some advice. I am on month 1 of 50mg clomid (day 2-6) for unexplained infertility. I normally ovulate ok on day 18 with 32 days cycles. I had my day 11 scan today and found a bigger follicle at 14mm on the left ( everything else was too small). Days ago the nurse told me she would expect 2 or so bigger follicles. They told me to come backfor a scan on tuesday but i am feelin pretty deflated. I am fed up of waiting. Have any of you come across any success with 14mm day 11? Nurse was positive but i feel bad nonetheless. Many thanks...

wow lady tomorrow, thats fab. How are you? Bet you cant wait to meet your lo. We're all fine madam is 9mths tomorrow it has totally flew in.

Welcome cavemum to the thread, its went quite quiet round here recently but i'm sure the ladies will be back. Sounds like you have had a prompt service which is fab. Have you met a consultant?

Hello all, mind if I join you?!

Long story short, DH and I are TTC#1. I came off the Pill in May 2010 and had a period in June but nothing since. Last month I was diagnosed with PCOS (not over/under weight but do have skin issues) and have just received my appointment for a HSG - 2 weeks tomorrow. We've got to drop a sample from DH in to be tested but presuming all is well with both tests my consultant says they'll be putting me on Clomid.

So, just marking my spot for now but I suspect I'll be back to pick your collective brains

It seems to have gone very quiet on here, hope your ok Stac, i'm due tomorrow :) How are you and your LO? xx

hi all, just wondering how you all are? Any news? Oh and i've namechanged used to be stac14

Thank you for your kind words everyone. I kind of have given up hope at the mo. Really do not want to go through all of that again, it is stressful and I need a break. Got recurrent mc clinic next week for tests, so maybe that will help me to feel better.

Clomid does work though, at least I know that. My body just cannot seem to cope with being PG.

Hi Ladies

Sorry for your sad news confus3d, dont give up hope.

Pops i'm good thankyou, hope your well? We have started buying, we have most of the things we need now, it's just the smaller things we need and we're starting on the nursery this week. How about you? Have you got everything now?
Let me know if they give you a date to be induced. Have you finished work now?

Good luck to everyone on clomid.

Lots of chocolate babydust

evening ladies

confu3ed i'm so sorry about what happened huni and hope you get the lo you deserve x

Welcome everyone. I have pcos and was ttc for 2 years. 6 years using clomid then got bfp on metformin. I now have a gorgeous 7mth old dd. Dont give up. I like to pop in and see how everyones doing.

Baby dust to all xxxxx

Hello ladies,

I had six cycles of Clomid last year, after TTC#1 for 3 years, diagnosed with PCOS after lap&dye. 3 x 50mg and then 3 x 100 mg. Bloods taken every month (please insist on some form of test so you know dosage is right) and 2nd/3rd month I didn't ovulate on the 50mg, so dosage upped to 100mg, (only after I pestered!) After month 5 I stopped calling for the results bcs even though I was ovulating I hadn't fallen pregnant, and calling for the PG count each month was stressing me out. In month six, I stopped thinking about when I would ovulate and just concentrated on me and DH - and month six worked. So keep positive, look after yourself and try to relax. I know it's much easier said than done, but Clomid can work.

(Just so you know the full picture; I miscarried last month at 12 weeks - nothing to do with PCOS or Clomid - just one of those sad things {sad}, but trying to be positive, I did get pregnant and hope to be back on Clomid in the next couple of months)
