Yup time sure flies cam75 !

I am waiting for it to fly past 12 weeks so that hopefully the indigestion and nausea settle down!

Saying that though this week the nausea is a little better...just the indigestion that is really bothering me!

hi numpty1972 thanks for replying!! Been trying loads while waiting for my fertility appointment, agnus castus, acupuncture, acupressure, diet and lifestyle changes, my system seems to have shut down so I was hoping this would work but I had a weird reaction to clomid and my eyesight went completely blurred on the left side so the doc said I can't take it again (sad). Really hope it has worked as now have to wait for another appointment, no idea what they'll try next time!! x

numpty1972 · 07/09/2008 21:28

Hi everyone,

I've been reading the thread and there's some lovely success stories, can i join in? I'm on day 20 of my 1st clomid cycle, I haven't had any periods since stopping the pill over 2 years ago to ttc so gynae started me on the clomid. I go for my blood test tomorrow to see if I have ovulated but I'm getting really sore boobs, headaches and lower tummy ache already?!? Is this a clomid symptom any of you has had in the second part of cycle?? surely can't be a pg symptom this early?

Gemma

hi claire,

i was on 50mg for the 3 cycles. On the 4th cycle 100mg due to test next friday so i will let you know. It feels like Af is coming to me but we will see.

clairebear88 · 04/09/2008 16:14

Hi All

Not been around for a while but been reading all the news
Congrats to LL its so nice when there is a BFP. hope the pains have subsided now.
Numpty - apparently grapefruit juice for thinning of lining but how gross is grapefruit juice. good luck

Update on me - TTC #1 for 16 months
3rd month of 50mg clomid not worked so month 4 - 50mg then month 5 been told to do 100mg. Also just got app through for fertility clinic as only been to docs so far. Cant wait as it feels like something is being done

Good luck to all

numpty

Don;t think I know your story, but surely there is something that can be done to thicken the walls of your womb?

I have a feeling that I have read about it somewhere!

Keep your chin up and keep pressing on, I know it is easy to say but all the ladies on this thread have one problem or another that has made it difficult to conceive and yet we have had a good lot of BFPs come through.

It will happen! Don't lose hope!

numpty1972,

I remember reading your story.. why is you husband not giving up smoking? does he not want kids? i gave up smoking months ago as i have never really tired proper b4.
I am not sure if it is a bad thing that your linning is thin maybe it will get thicker...
I know it is hard to stay postive but expect the unexpected!!!
So have your clinic refused to give ivf if your husband does not give up?

numpty1972 · 02/09/2008 14:38

thanks cam, just finding it increasingly difficult to remain optimistic lately!! how bad is it if the lining of the womb is thin? can't believe this has happened espesially when i know that i did ovulate and released 2 eggs just feels like such a waste of good eggs!! fingers crossed for you that you get a bfp, really hope it happens for you. if it doesn't happen for me soon we will have to give up as dp refuses to give up smoking, and they won't give us ivf cos of it!!!

cam75 · 02/09/2008 13:58

numpty1972,
don't give up i am statring to feel fed up but i had my bloods done yesterday and i have ovulated which is major plus the linning of my womb is thickin.
I know it is hard but we have to keep on keeping on!!! we need to get BFP before the year is out!!!

numpty1972 · 02/09/2008 13:32

had my scan yesturday and bloods, doc said that i deffinately ovulated and released both eggs! only prob is that she said the lining of my womb looks a bit thin for pregnancy to take place, they want me to continue with clomid for the third month to see if it happens again and then they we put me on different tablets that don't thin it out, what i don't get is that if they know that it is the clomid doing it then why put me through another month of dissapointment? why not just change the tablets now? feeling a bit hopeless at mo, not sure it ever gonna happen!!! hope you all well. x

cam75 · 02/09/2008 13:28

thanks dungungirl,

wow 8wks already!!! fantasic stuff.

I will try and give it a go no harm in trying!!! i feel like af is coming tho not sure what i should feel as the clomid gives the same feeling. Will know next week if she does not make an appearance.

HOpe you are resting???

lauralou

Hopefully the cramps are just 'growing pains'. I had them the first 2 weeks, and then they dissappeared.

As long as there is no bleeding of any sort that follows, then I am sure all is fine. Just keep an eye for safety!

Well...I don't think I am showing yet, but then I have such a flabby tummy left over from my pregnancy with DS that even if I was a bit I doubt it would be visible!

But fingers crossed all is well, 8 weeks 3 days today...Can't wait till 12 weeks...so I can see bubs on scan again, and also hopefully say goodbye to this nausea. uurrghhhh!

When is your scan? I had the early one after the slight bleeding at about 7 weeks+3.

cam75

Oh how exciting! I am keeping fingers and toes crossed for you!

I would just keep going if your DP can manage it! I mean, you know you ovulated, so best just make the most of the oppurtunity eh!

After all, once you ovulate, it does take the egg anything from a few days to a week to actually reach the end of it's journey!

Good Luck!

lauralou1 · 02/09/2008 11:42

cam75 · 02/09/2008 11:31

lauralou,

i am fine and you? loing the morning sickeness?
I went for another scan yesterday and i was a bit confused at what she had said but it was made clear after i went online and read about it. She took bloods yesterday and i called todya to ask her something as i was unsure but she told me that i have OVULATED!!!!!! i am happy about that as it shows that the tablets are working!!!
I can test next friday??? But i have a feeling that it is af on her way and not BFP!!! My boobs are sore but that is alwsy the case when AF is due but i will wait and see what happens this week.
Now that i have OV do i still have sex or that time has passed now???

lauralou1 · 02/09/2008 11:04
