Have you read anything about Clomid and flying - is it something I should avoid at all costs? I only ask becuase we were planning on going to sydney in Jan/feb and now I want to be sure we shouldn't postpone (again). DP will be livid if we do have to.......

Tania2 · 18/10/2004 12:25

Yummm they were good too all gone now!!!!
I read that too runtus thats kinda the reason i avoided that and went to a natrapath. I put on over 20kgs while pg with ds lost it now but it was hell trying to get it off dont want that to happen again so i didnt need to get fat b4 the cravings even started.

runtus · 18/10/2004 12:21

I want chocolate and chips!

Just reads that Clomid makes you get fat - ahhhh!

Tania2 · 18/10/2004 12:21

AF not due till Sunday but thats a 28 day cycle iam anywhere from 26 to 28. See my natrapath on Wednesday so iam tempted to test b4 then so if i get a bfn i will buy more herbs if i get bfp i will by the herbs to help stop a m/c from happening. but wednesday may be too early to test i think i'll just have to be strong me thinks

MINNIE1 · 18/10/2004 12:13

Tania2 - when will you test?? fingers crossed you are PG cause its such a let down when Af arrives..

Tania2 · 18/10/2004 12:12

Sent dh out to buy some milk and he comes back with chocolate and chips. bless his soul
Where did everyone go???

Tania2 · 18/10/2004 11:49

Thanks Jeddah for that info. God i love this thread there is so much info and support here.
So when would i be able to test??
If i did ov on cd17 wouldnt today be too early for implantation bleed and if i ov on CD 9 wouldnt it be too late????? Currently on CD22.
Now iam really reading into my body. Boobs feel heavy, weeing alot, the mucus thismorning, lower pulling pain in tummy hummmmm what else?????
I cant think like this, I cant think like this
I will do my head in and af will arrive and i will be so upset.

jeddah · 18/10/2004 11:41

mommyd
absofrigginlutely!!!

MommyD · 18/10/2004 11:36

wow jeddah - thanks. This would presumably explain why some women take longer to get their BFP??? If you implant day 14 after ov then you ain't gonna get a BFP two teeks after you ovulated, or when your period was due are you? Presumably this will also explain why some women get bleeding at the time the AF is due - not enough HCG to suppress bleeding?

jeddah · 18/10/2004 11:27

God girls....all this testing and waiting. I feel that I did test too early......and realise now that testing is better timed whrn you jnow when you have ov.

Mommyd, tania2 and binatracy..... implatation occurs anytime from 7-14 days from fertilisation and not everyone gets a implantation spotting. The pregnancy hormone HCG, starts to be produced when the fertilised egg implants itself, until this happens you will always get a BFN.

Bloody hell, this to me!!!!!!! I sound like Mrs friggin Miriam Stoppard!!! Only know all this as I have been doing loads of reading I am also on the www.fertilityfriend.com and looked at past charts of people who got preggers! implantation also occurred in some women at 16-18 days!!!!!! Hope this helps?

runtus · 18/10/2004 11:27

KRocket - have you mentioned your concerns to your Dr? I know there is a chance he/she will say there is nothing wrong and it is too early to do tests but you never know,he/she might also say ok lets have a look at whats going on?

krocket · 18/10/2004 11:27

will do minnie1! start today CD9

Tania2 · 18/10/2004 11:13

MommyD dont know about any pg tests as last time pg i got a negitive but that was at night and i cant remember what test it was then i didnt test again till i went to the dr's thinking i had a tummy bug cause i had been sick at 3am (thats not morning sickness cause it was in the middle of the night for me...thats what i told myself) when the dr told me i was pg. so i have yet to have the joy of a positive test and be able to jump around with dh sing and laughing and all of that corny stuff you see in the daytime soaps.

MINNIE1 · 18/10/2004 11:09

krocket, Will you let me know how you get on with the ov test.. Cause i hope to start pining down the day i ov after AF this month...

krocket · 18/10/2004 11:06

thanks runtus, I was just wondering as I don't know whether I am oving and I was just curious what made you question it.
I don't have long cycles but have been using persona for 4 months and it still hasn't given me the ov symbol. I'm trying 'standard' OV tests this months so we'll see.

good luck everyone trying and everyone about to test

MommyD · 18/10/2004 11:05

Tania - thanks. I am rubbish and crumpled and tested with First Response yesterday evening and got a negative. I was SO sure I would wait until AF was late (yeah, right - as I said wot rubbish)
I don't feel pg and probably tested too early anyway - due on cd29 (Thurs)?? Are First Response accurate?

binatracy · 18/10/2004 11:05

thanks for that minnie1,i kind of thought that to! goodluck to everyone testing and sorry to all with af xx

Tania2 · 18/10/2004 11:01

Wow runtus i didn't know that. Have you tried the angus catcus and all that other stuff that has been mentioned on here. maybe you could get some of that stuff and take it until your dr pulls through with the goods you never know it might work????

MINNIE1 · 18/10/2004 11:01

binatracy, i would'nt trust that test now,( incase of false positive) i would do another today or tommor to be sure.. Really hope you are and finger crossed

Jeddah, Not sure when i ov'd or if i ov'd at all!!! No symtoms just feel AF around the corner!! Fingers crossed for you and let me know when you doing the test.. There are some many of us near testing now getting exciting....

Tania2 · 18/10/2004 10:59

Dont know Binatracy sorry.

MommyD Sorry your feeling sad. IKWYM about the getting worried about pains. wait and see if you get it again maybe. Hopefully you dont get af. Fingers crossed. Are you strong enough not to test b4 Thursday. Iam struggling now that i had that mucus thismorning dh wont let me test though.

runtus · 18/10/2004 10:58

Tania, thanks for the concern - my mate and I were actually discussing the situation another friend was in (b4 her ds was conceived). She was in the same position as me re long cycles and her Dr mentioned to her that this is a sign of not oving and put her on Clomid to kick start her system. I just went to my Dr's to see what he thought and to check in for the 1st time since I came off the pill......I fuly expected him to say the same thing as you but he mentioned it first when he heard how long my cycles are.

Tania2 · 18/10/2004 10:54

Runtus i hope your friend knew what she was talking about b4 she made you worry. IMO if your having any af at all you should be oving no matter how long your cycle is. But iam no expert.

MommyD · 18/10/2004 10:53

Tania - I was only joking with you - no need to apologise!!!
No I ov on cd13 or 14. I really don't know what casued the pain. I thought that AF would show early as it was like the worst AF pain I have ever had. It hasn't shown and is not due until Thurs (cd29). Don't like unexplained abdo pain like that - worries me.
Feel really blue today Always do before AF arrives

binatracy · 18/10/2004 10:52

do you always get implantation bleed when pg? ive not had any at all only stomach cramps for last week? ive just checked test i did yesterday and when first read it was negative but now there is really really faint line? does test change over time? not sure!!

Tania2 · 18/10/2004 10:50

Sorry MommyD to get personal so thay really felt like af pains. So do you think it was ov pains????

Sallie ~ i did get very heavy af after having ds but have always.

Sweetheart ~ Good luck with your weight watches tonight have some cake for me too pls. I agree with the other girls see a different Dr and really put on the tears.

Jeddah ~ It just guts you when people tell you they fell pg in the first month. its so hard to have that happy face for them. Dont worry it will be all our turns soon.

Binatracy ~ BFN
