Hi thats it really. If there is anyone who is about to start a new cycle with clomid, can you please be my friend?
This will be my first try on clomid, I have pcos, and started af today after a horrible 48 day cycle.
But af is here, hurray! which means i can start on the magic beans tomorrow.
So if you would like chat and hand holding too, please sign in here.
Im thinking good sense of humour, sympathy, and patience will be a must

Okay..............I'm going now...........

coggy · 19/04/2007 17:52

Oh....and when I say "get back to it"...I don't actually mean 'it'...that would be a bit keen.......just get back to being you I mean!

coggy · 19/04/2007 17:50

there of course....and me teaching English...I don't know!!!!!!

coggy · 19/04/2007 17:50

Sorry to hear that AF has come Pusscat.
I also got lucky after the third cycle.....just because it doesn't happen straight away doesn't mean it won't.....although I had decided that it was all useless and their was no point....then got my (very unexpected) bfp.

Have a damn good cry, eat chocolate, listen to depressing music and then get back to it tomorrow.

oh bloody hell, that is bad planning! (((hugs))) and a lovely clean bug-free bed to bd in too! he doesnt know what he is missing!
I have been told to take my clomid days 2-6. I always count my cycle as cd1 , first day of red bleeding. And from what we said last time, we might ovulate 5-10 days (or was it 5-9) after taking the last clomid, i think.
so if i have this right, if i take last clomid on my cd6, then my peak days would be 11-16. And for you 12-17.
Is that right or am i muddled??

I think you are right to crack on. I felt the same way. I am on CD12 (CD10 of the second clomid cycle). I think I am a bit confused about my cycle and gave the wrong dates before- it all depends on when I count the first day of AF... I took the clomid on CD3-7). DH is now going away for 3 days right at the time when I think I should be OV.

thanks, both of you...
Yes will be starting 2nd cycle of clomid tomorrow, dont really see much point in waiting. As I havent heard from the cons (I called the secretary and asked for a call from him, none recieved) I will continue to take the 50mg. Gonna be keeping everything crossed (apart from the obvious) for a good result. Good work on the bedbugs lu, I think you have cracked it! what cd are you?
any news from awen?

Pussycat one of the girls on our jan thread is 38 she had 3 thingys of clomid and then had her little boy ben, sorry about af but iv got a feeling in my waters about you it will happen.

lulu1414 · 19/04/2007 16:20

I'm sorry, PCM. So disappointing and here we all were quietly hoping your pessimism was unfounded. Will you start another cycle of clomid right away?

As for the bedbugs... no more bites! I am going to keep putting the mattress out in the sun, but so far so good!

Thanks laughalot
Think you will have to wait a bit longer before congratulating me though....
af arrived today with full force.
Felt so bitterly utterly disappointed. Have had a good sob. Am ok now. (ish)
Hope everyone else is ok.......hope the bedbugs are not biting, lulu!!!!

You know what pussycat it wont be long and ill be telling you what scrummy children you have, some take longer than others you will get there pussycat just be positive and remember keep your dh strapped to that bed . It would be great for us to have our own little thread again I must admit I hardly chat to the others maybe we should make a effort and start a thread.

MamaMaiasaura · 18/04/2007 21:21

Hello lovelys x

PCM - fingers are corssed for you (and toes.. and eyes )

Well I was BFN, no surprise so on day 2 of provera. Feel more philisophical now and not too stressed about the whole clomid thing, hope it lasts

On the other hand I am teary.. but think progesterone.

Anyhow, I will prob hover till i start cycle 2. Hw many of you are on clomid at mo.. what stage?

aaahhhhhhhh laughalot,,,, your bambinos are bloody goregous, and you look so glam on your wedding day!!!! I really miss the old threads....seems like it was just me who didnt graduate
Never know, it may be my turn soon(((hopeful emoticon!)))
xxxxx Would be great if we just had a thread for all us lot , whether we managed bfp or not wouldnt it? seems on the threads our friendships are defined as to whether we actually "made it" or not, where as in actual fact, its lovely to keep in touch even though other peoples situations may be different from our own.
Once again, bloody gorgeous children you produce there laughalot
take care x xx

hi all........(((big wave and hugs to laughalot!!!!)))) Cant believe you posted, bet you are a very busy mummy now, hope everything is going ok in sunny warsop Are you going back to work? If so I may bump into you yet!
Lulu - good going on the bedbugs!!! well done! Perhps that sunshine really is doing your mattress some good.
Cd32 today....no af. No sign of af.
(secret) Anyway, you lot are a bad influence, you buggers, found myself in the vitamins and medicine aisle in Sainsburys and we all know what they sell on that one dont we ladies! But I managed to resist and pull myself away and not to buy a test, that was pretty sterling stuff for me, Ive normally got a double pack in the basket before you can say "oooh I think ive just started!"
Must. Resist. Must. Be. Strong. Must be strong................aaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhhh
How is it possibe NOT to do this to yourself???!!!!
hugs to all, hope you have a fab evening the weather is beautiful here, hope it is where you are xx

lulu1414 · 18/04/2007 14:23

As a light interlude... the bed bug update... Last night I had my first bite-free night! Could be that they merely had their fill for now (they definitely had a all you can eat buffet over the past few days) or the steps I have taken have been somewhat successful. To be on the safe side mattress is once again being heated by the sun.

Hope everyone is OK.

laughalot · 18/04/2007 10:50

Hi pussycat just wanted to wish you luck sending loads of positive vibes from warsop xxxx

i know......its futile isn't it. The hell doesnt improve does it
Wannabe thanks for your kind words, but I feel that whilst trying to be hopeful, I am also under no illusions that this may well not happen. I only have to look on my sisters experiences. And yes, I realise that my time may still come, but I no longer count my chickens.
Sorry to take up so much space with my dilly dallying.

Yes.....we all know that we're not....but..............

It's true...we all do it!!!

lulu1414 · 17/04/2007 16:51

Wannabe and Coggy- hear, hear. You have both expressed exactly what I was thinking re PCM. We are all with you...

wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe · 17/04/2007 16:49

I heard that artacle on bed bugs as well ... it's cringeworthy stuff lol.

pussycat...

the day I found out I was pregnant with my ds i sat in my bathroom with a positive test and said "but I can't be pregnant". Just because you haven't been lucky in the past, doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. now where's that statistic on what percentage get a positive test according to ho many days post ovulation they test?

cd24 is very, very early to test, and it's highly unlikely you would get a bfp then even if you were pregnant.

I actually would do another test, not least because although you're saying you're not pregnant, I think deep down you're still wondering whether you are - am I right?

pussycatmomma · 17/04/2007 16:49

yes point taken,,,,,,,,you are off the hook, though i am under no illusions that my "symptoms" are not symptoms of prg even though they sound like they could possibly be. I think the only way a symptom can ever be classed as such is if you have the bfp right there in your hand. Which I dont.
