Go for the dtds wee sounds like perfect timing for you Smile

RedRobin1 · 21/03/2013 22:45

Oooo winkle I'm so excited for you. Fx and toes too!! Are you POAS in the morning? I will be checking first thing!

thingy your DH makes mine sound saner haha. Funny how men get into the apps and trackers Grin

Alexandra6 · 21/03/2013 22:10

winkle! So are you going to POAS tomorrow?

twinklestar2 · 21/03/2013 22:03

No sign of AF here. I'm allowing myself to get excited...

Thingymajigs · 21/03/2013 20:40

Yay! Fingers crossed that you catch that egg. My lines are getting darker too so we might be going through that 2ww together this cycle unless soy has lengthened mine.
Another dtd and DP has really got into checking my chart. It makes it much easier now he knows the fertile times in advance.

Alexandra6 · 21/03/2013 19:42

Woop wee! I hope this is the shot that does it for you!

weechops · 21/03/2013 17:51

Just poas again and I got a smiley face :) and dh doesn't need to leave til tomorrow now so will get to DTD at the right times for once. Woo slightly excited at getting a proper shot this cycle! Looks like my wee wish for epo to bring forward ov by a day was granted :)

KerryJewels · 21/03/2013 12:50

Red I do have side effects on Clomid..headaches,breast aches,nausea,hot flashes,blurry vision..luckily I don't get them all at the same time:)When I ovulate it's the worst..I get horrendous hot flashes with nausea and dizziness..For a new baby I'm willing to endure this~but I sure hope it happens soon;)Next month is the last month of 50mg Clomid,then husband has to go in for SA...Then the dosage will go to 100mg..

Thingy I'm laughing at the thought of your dh reading about how your cervix feels today :) I have cervixes on the brain I think as I told dh to remember and check himself for cervical cancer. Got this look Hmm. Obviously meant testicular! I'm big on self checking due to family history.

So my opk line is slightly darker so I'm hoping its a + soon since dh might need to leave tonight argh!

Red sorry you're having a rotten day. What cd are you on?

Thingymajigs · 21/03/2013 11:32

oh and great news winkle! Smile Hopefully that's the last test you'll need.

Thingymajigs · 21/03/2013 11:31

Sorry about the negative test someday. Hopefully its just too early. Have you bought cheap tests from Amazon? I did that after spending a fortune on tests last year. I rarely test now but it helps knowing they are there.
kerry just hold your nose and drink it. It really works!
Sorry to hear about your bad day red. Would you normally have ovulated by now?
I somehow managed to waste 3 OPK's yesterday by peeing on them incorrectly. That in itself is stupid enough but then, whilst messing about, I dropped my iphone in the toilet. So that's that gone. Anyway, no ovulation yet, just lots of watery and EWCM and a bit of twinging going on this morning. Managed to dtd yesterday with plans for lots more this week. As my phone is dead, DP asked if he could put the fertility app on his phone. So he now has all the fantastically sexy details on his phone like CM consistency and cervix position. No one can say he isn't dedicated to the TTC cause anyway.

RedRobin1 · 21/03/2013 09:56

Thats fab news on the HSG results winkle fx you are not going to need that 8 week appt! Hope she doesn't show up this weekend.

kerry hope you are feeling better and the grapefruit juice didn't make you too queasy. Does clomid have a lot of side effects?

Sorry about the BFNs someday I rarely test, only going to POAS when I am late. still waiting for that to happen :(

Work is driving me insane, not having a good day. No sign of +ve OPK either. So don't know if I have ovulated already or just not happened yet. If I am in the 2ww I don't feel any different.

SomeDaySoon74 · 20/03/2013 18:51

Cd29 here (of 33). Tested again yesterday and (unsurprisingly) got a BFN; plan to test again tomorrow and again on Sat. Addicted to testing, have a stash of tests and zero will-power! Blush

KerryJewels · 20/03/2013 15:24

Mixed with Cranberry Apple I can barely take it..ewwww!!!

Alex I don't POAS as there's no point. If nothing by next Friday then ill test as I've got a night out planned.

Had the results from my HSG which came back all clear so that's a good thing. 8 weeks today till my next appointment. I really hope I don't need it.

Alexandra6 · 20/03/2013 07:32

Ps miss you all and am saving you nice seats in the grad thread next to me. Will keep hovering here too if that's ok. And hello newbies Smile

Alexandra6 · 20/03/2013 07:30

Hi everyone! winkle hope those twinges are pg twinges! When are you POAS?

red I am still in shock but the joy has turned to terrified, you should see my pile of pee sticks unhygienically piled on my bedside table (with lids on in my defence!) Trying to make today the first day I don't test to check it's still there. Am just so nervous, don't trust my body at all as it's no good at hormonal stuff and working as it should usually! I remember us talking about clomid and me being jealous that you could do lifestyle stuff to improve SA, I guess that is the good thing about male factor stuff, you can improve it to some extent with diet etc? And the other positive is, with PCOS/clomid, I think mc rates are higher so you won't have that increased risk (must NOT think about that!) I really hope you caught it this month. How many dpo are you now?

twinklestar2 · 19/03/2013 22:45

I'm here, cd27, getting the odd twinge. Don't feel very pregnant :(

Thingymajigs · 19/03/2013 19:08

*tests not tears

Thingymajigs · 19/03/2013 19:08

Glad to hear the tears were ok lacernella. It's interesting how a lot of us have had different tests at certain times. I've had all my CD3, CD21 blood tests but nothing else so far. DP had a SA done quite early on but might need to do another as we've nearly been trying for a year.
Hugs red. I know what you mean, it'd be nice to know that a pill could help but it's not possible for every fertility issue. I'm also super broody. I had a bit of a moment walking through town earlier when I saw this beautiful summer dress for a baby... I really have to steer myself away from baby sections now but hopefully not for long. Smile
How are you doing winkle?
Where is everyone else in their cycle?

RedRobin1 · 19/03/2013 16:29

It's good to hear your tests are coming back normal lacerella

It only takes one! Fingers crossed the meds work.

I am broody today. How's everyone else doing?

alex how are you doing? I am so happy clomid worked for you! I remember the old thread with your initial scans not confirming follicle growth and how lovely it is to get a bfp at the end of all that stress and months and months of ttc! stupid thing to say but I wish I had problems ovulating and not DH having issues with sperm Sad at least clomid would then do something for us.

LacernellaRubra · 18/03/2013 21:30

Hello everyone, thanks for the welcome :-)

DH is on pregnyl (I know normally the women on that one) and they'll add another hormone if that doesn't show results on its own...

I've had an ultra sound (transvagjnal, agh...) all clear and they've taken loads of blood, not quite sure what ot's all for...got my 21 day blood test coming up and the radioactive-dye-in-uterus test soon...

Just hoping for lots of positive results! On the plus side my ewcm has always been good and we like sex a lot so hopefully if we ever get any sperm to play with there won't be too many other barriers to conception...

Congrats on the BfP up thread, that's fantastic!

I'm hunkering down for the long haul...

RedRobin1 · 18/03/2013 21:07

Yay on the seduction wee keep dtding.

RedRobin1 · 18/03/2013 21:06

Hi lacernella

Ooooo twinges sound exciting winkle

thingy it's like a magic potion - results are instant!

I hope we have caught it this month. Will be nice to have a December baby....

I can't wait to give up work! I hate my job. But it pays well and maternity package is great. The pressure and being away from home is not worth it. Weird as I was always career driven but now want something mind numbingly mundane and just want to be a mum and bake cupcakes! Who'd have thought!
