Hiya everyone

glad your doing well georgie and the first scan went well.
Sarashy - its good its all systems go and fingers crossed.

I had my app on monday and the specialist went through all my test/scan/blood results. everything looks fine except my ovulation was a bit low at 28 so Im back on clomid woohoo. This time im being monitored with scans so will be interesting to see follicles as I was just left to my own devices last year when GP put me on them.
Im trying to be positive as the clomid last year obviously didnt work but hey ho. Gonna try the sperm to egg plan and relax a bit. If this doesnt work we will be doing IUI, does anyone know if this is free on NHS??

good luck to all and good to be back

Hi All,

Hope im in the right discussion room i am new to this site today! Well, me and my partner been tryin just over a year but i have very irregular periods and dont seem to ovulate. Started my first cycle of clomid 50mg on monday and got scan next week to check if ive ovulated.

congratulations to all who have conceived and good luck to all trying! I'll keep you posted.

peace.x

hey georgie,
appointment went well and yes ts all systems go for next cycle. which should start this sunday. We have to have lots of scans at different points and inject myself everyday. Sounds scary but ill get used to it. They seem to think now that i may not be able to get pg cause my lining doesnt get thick enough for implantation. So iui here we come.
hows u?

hi all

Im glad everyone is good, been a bit quiet by the looks of it.
Well i got the all clear from biopsy as its only mild ab cells so just gotta another smear in 6 months. good news as I can now arrange an app with specialist to get all my results and sort out a plan of action. Back to ttc for me. Think ill try the sperm to egg plan.

Well this month on clomid was hell. had really bad tummy pains and headaches. But there is light at the end of the tunnel, we had our first iui appointment yesterday and it looks like its all set to start on the 2nd day of my next period which should be the 8th march so wuhooo!!!!! hope everyone else is doing fine.
Hopefor - i asked about the alcohol thing yesterday and she said she'd never heard of it being a problem
xx

my doc told me to avoide it where possible as it has the opposite affect.

Hey hopeful,
ive never heard of not drinking alcohol or caffeen, did your dr tell you this?
www.pregnancyloss.info/sperm_meets_egg_plan.htm
this is the link to the sperm meets egg plan. Good luck this wknd. valentines day too.
lots of baby dust to you

did you all know that if yo drink caffien whilst on clomid then it wont work as well as caffien has the opposite effect on the tablets. i aint had any alcohol since new years eve and havnt had caffien sine new years day, hopeing that this month will be the month for me! loads of bd tomorrow and sataday for me! wish me look!!!!!

may seam like a daft question but what is the sperm meets egg plan? everyone gose on about it but i do not understand it.

Well Georgie yes it did arrive with a vengence last night been up all night wih belly ache. Just to rub it in you no, it could juts arrive without the pain. So it looks like its iui time. will still take clomid this month but i think im going to be naughty and take double dose, nothing ventured nothing gained n it cant do me any harm. Followed the sperm meets egg plan to the letter n nothing, its so frustrating. 2 weeks till ur scan is it? good luck.

Hopefor yes your most fertile day is the 13th try the sperm meets egg plan you never know it may work for you it did for georgie. I never knew you couldnt drink with clomid, maybe thats where im going wrong lol . maybe ill try a month without, although in my eyes teenagers manage to go out get pi**ed n still get pg.
ah well such is life.

Fingers crossed for the iui

xx

well ive just took my course of clomid, with no side effects as long as i took it during the day. just after a little confirmation on something- if my period was on the 30th of jan am i most firtile on friday the 13th? is there any tips on how to make this month the month and can you drink in modaration or dose that reduce your chances. Any advice on what follows for the next few weeks would be great and what to expect. thanks

Sarashy.............

Well have you had your period......... well????????????????????

not much going on on the website where and how is everyone???

Im 10 weeks and it seems to be going soooooooooooooooooooooo slowly i just want my scan..................

xxxx

very quiet on here.
Well AF is due today but as of yet hasnt arrived. keeping my fingers crossed. BUt on the other side not long time IUI time. roll on the 25th feb if AF arrives if not bonus
hope everyone is doing well, n our little sucess stories are growing well

hey georgie, Well ur scans the day before we have our first IVF appointment, fingerscrossed for us both. Well sperm meets egg plan not going to well this month been trying to do it but unfortunatly i have this flu again so dont feel much up to bding. Need to get myself well and gain 1/2 stone by my appointment otherwise they wont give me the treatment as im too underweight. really am trying but it seems the more i try the more i loose. why cant i be like the majority of the population lol!!!
how did you dog go on? not as much trouble as us hey?
Had stomach ache again this month, think its with the clomid, as im due to be around ovulation now ish.
let me know how you go on.
xx

Hi Sarashy....

Well the midwife came and it was just question after question really....got my scan though on the 24th Feb so that just seems like its decades away..... I really wanted some reassurance from the midwife but she was not exactly helpful....

Until i see it i wont believe it... been a bit hectic my end im mating my bitch so shes gone off to her mate and hopefully she'll come home pregnant too lol.... my poor husband is going to be in a house full of hormones....lol....

How you doing with the sperm meets egg plan?????

Hi hopefor - usually they give you six months of clomid, but my consultant said i can have it for 8 if the first 6 dont work. After that is the stage where a few of us are now which is ivf / iui /icsi. Hope u dont get that far, fingerscrossed.
x

heya guys. ive just started medroxyprogesterone acetate today after 2 1/2 years of ttc. was on metforim before that which did agree with me. whats the time scale that you take clomid for and whats the next steps if it doesnt work?

thanks georgie and calirebear. Dh and i are excited but trying not to get our hopes up to much.

Georgie - how did midwife meet go?

Clairbear - sorry to hear ur news i hope evrything is ok for you and you can get bk to ttc soon.

im trying the sperm meets egg thing again this month so fingercrossed then i won need the iui/ivf.

Hi all

Been a bit quiet on here I see. Brill news sarashy bet your excited

Well I have not been so lucky, I had my smear results back and they showed abnormal cells so I had a colposcopy yesterday and she said they look more moderate than mild so she took a biopsy. Im now waiting for results as may have to have treatment. She advised TTC to go on hold for a while until this problem is sorted.
Life is just shitty at the moment and feeling so scared

Sarashy thats brilliant news.... im so pleased for you.... i bet your be pregnant before you have to do the IVF i have heard so many people chilling out cause they have that appt and then they conceive!!!!!

No scan appointment yet, midwife is coming to my home tuesday... (all a bit different from my first pregnancy)

My boobs are soooooooooooooooo sore and i feel like im a teenager again as i have big blind boils on my face and chest not a good look and very painful so im not sure what thats all about.... apart from that i think im doing ok....

xxxxxxxx
