Have just updated my stats, have been MIA but am now on CD8 so finally getting to the hopeful stage again. Oh and then the 2ww.... boo. But Fx for a Feb babby for all.

poppyjen I got my clomid from my gp on the nhs but they wouldn't do anything till i had been trying a year as i fell with dd naturally

Another vote for lists here - now we just need someone to create them... ...

toddle - am having awful flashbacks to writing my dissertation in a matter of days flat working through the night and mainlining strong black coffee.. god I couldn't go through being a student again! Just thinking about having kids who have homework to do brings me out in a cold sweat! Good luck though! And in no way should you be tempted to sort out the lists as something to do other than getting on with your dissertation!

As for the whole reproducing thing - i'm CD9 (and cracked and got the silly paid for membership on ff as I liked all the stats and missed them once my first 30 day membership thingy had ended) and am planning on pouncing DP tonight in case I ovulate earlier this month than last month (ov'd on CD14 last month but have wobbly cycle so am covering all bases!) He of course doesn't know this yet and is currently killing zombies on the 360... and i've just realised it's gone 11pm and the odds of either of us staying awake long enough to shag are incredibly slim. God, when did we get so old??

Also - am I the only one who thinks of microserfs whenever robitussin is mentioned? (Although I suspect Michael wasn't trying to increase his EWCM and was more likely going for the dissociative hallucinogenic side effects - which when you think about it, could be a great aid during the 2ww!

Hi emmalou I'll ask my friend and let you know Yes I did, DS came along 1st cycle after stopping the pill which is why I am getting frustrated that the same thing hasn't happened again

So if you don't mind me asking were you able to see fertility doc and be prescribed Clomid etc on the NHS or did you have to go private? Only asking as my GP told me that as I already had one child he wouldn't refer me for any fertility advice/investigation or treatment on the NHS. Would be very interested to hear your experience

Sorry to everyone else for temporarily hijacking thread to talk about PCOS - emmalou , happy for you to private message me if you want to.

Good luck from me as well toddle this seems like the first Spring that I haven't had anything gigantic to write and submit.... hope the creative juices start flowing soon!

Weimy absolutely happy with lists as you suggest, there are so many of us now it will make it easier to see where everyone is

I like the idea on the not counting, Grads and lost along the way sections i was going to do that too but didnt no if people would object. Ohh and solitaire thats a bad one for me its like a addiction.

Thanks for the good luck i may need it. I have 398 words and have been doing it since 10 this morning :L

I even bought robitussin cought medicine to take when i was meant 2 b ovulating i heard it helps you conceive well time will tell.
How long and what dosage of clomid was your friend on?
Did you fall easy with your 1st? I fell after 3 months of coming of the pill

emmalou PCOS is such a horrid thing isn't it - All of the GPs I have spoken to about it have fobbed me off saying that its really common and that the most effective way to manage it is to lose weight. Well at 8 - 8 1/2 stone (and in your case even less) that's not really very sensible advice is it. The only other thing I have been offered is the pill which if you are TTC is not exactly ideal is it!

I am currently looking in to some herbal supplements to help to get things back on track, have you tried/heard of anything that's good?

A friend of mine had great success with Clomid after a few months of trying to get the dosage right so FX that it works out well for you too .

Also, just to add that in the first few weeks of my pregnancy with DS I got the same thing, extremely bloated. I would start the day off looking my normal self and end it looking rather pregnant so you never know....

peapop - i use ov tests and generally start testing from day 11/12.

I also have pcos and on clomid taken 3 months now i haven't weighed myself lately i was 7 stone 6lb and am 5 5 i think i am heavier now aswell

Hard to say really emmalou didn't have this when on the pill but I did get it about a week or so before AF last cycle I think. In my case I suspect its partly due to my PCOS symptoms coming back again after stopping the pill - I get terrible water retention, I have put on 3 and a half kilos since Feb, and as I was only 51kg to begin with (and I am v. tiny, only 5'1) that's really noticeable.

Currently feel like a beachball - keep seeing those pictures of people walking down the street with muffin tops hanging over their jeans (you know the ones that the BBC use to illustrate any story about obesity - where you can't see their heads just their torsos and legs) and I think, that's me that is....

poppyjen do you norm have this b4 af is due?

Boogies oh no! Well on to the next cycle with some good information about cycles etc - maybe a Valentine's Day baby for you then ?

Just checked my crazy chart on Fertility Friend (not sure I have been doing it right as the chart looks a lot like a mountain range... ) and their predicted date for my next AF is 29th May (presumably based on last ridiculous 56 day cycle) so we may still be on roughly the same timescale Boogies ...who knows

emmalou just to let you know that I sympathise...I am currently wearing maternity trousers (from last pregnancy before anyone thinks I am jumping the gun a bit) and I look about 5 months gone, water retention? bloating? who knows but its starting to get extremely irritating!

Congratulations on BFPs!! Brilliant news!! [Grin] so pleased for you both!!

Anyone using ov tests? Just wondering, if you have longer cycle-like me- when would you start testing?? Confused!! [Hmm]

Sorry to hear that Boogies! I'm sure they didn't notice, unless they were looking directly at your crotch - in which case name and shame the perv!

No pouncing on DH for me tonight, we have a friend staying over at late notice so I'm pretty sure it'll be a late one. but wine will be involved so

Sorry everyone! Miscounted...

Well AF did arrive this afternoon in the middle of a meeting with a previously very senior member of the last government! Couldn't think of much else beyond 'darn it!' and 'I've only got a pantyliner on!' - I hope he didn't notice! So I am replacing myself on the board and extending my cycle slightly as this was my first proper (datable) cycle after the pill. Poppy - my date buddy - I am really holding out for you now!!

Is feeling rather bloated 2day i have put on a pair of jeans this morning and they are 2 small by about 2 inches very strange as only had them on last week

Poppy and Boogies I know your pain! It's a nightmare not knowing and all the what if's that go through your mind. Hope you get your answers (preferably BFP's!) ASAP.

I've had EWCM for the last 5 days and fertility friend has moved my AF due date to the 16th but hasn't given me an ovulation due date - not even FF knows what's going on with my cycles!
Not enough SWI going on in this flat for my liking too - we've been absolutely shattered the last couple of weeks - shall be diving on DP when DS goes to bed tonight

Toddle your procrastination skills are impressive! May I suggest Minesweeper?

Toddle - you're a woman after my own heart - a game of solitaire perhaps required as well??

well im keeping my fx for you both that af stays away for a good 9 months or so :)

Well finally got onto the computer to make a start to the 10000 words which i have to write by the 23rd of this month and then decided we should all have capital letters at the start of our names :) Procrastination at its best i think.

Hope everyone is ok and enjoyed the extra days of work
