well sarashy, that might be ov time so start getting busy .. will be thinking of you and hope your AF wont come this time ..
the funny thing is im having a stitch-like pain as well on my right side and it comes n goes. am not too worried abt ectopic preg cos' from wht i heard ep is very painful and the pain is intense n consistent.
anywayz will know soon if beanie is in the right place and that all is well in 2 wks time.
its my 1st so i dont really know wht is normal n what is not are u trying for your 1st as well?

hi cam

my addy is [email protected]

sarashy · 01/12/2008 16:55

hey nandos i took my last tablet a week last saturday, so im on cd14 now, and yes is first cycle. just done an opk so waiting for result looking good for today though. the pain this afternoon kinda went to a really sharp pain for about 5 mins like a stitch i suppose, but now it has gone so im thinking it must have been ovulation pain.
Hope ur not feeling too sick and enjoying being pg. It would be the perfect christmas / birthday present for me so heres hoping and praying.

lauralou darling,

how are you? how is ure bump? i am ok lovey.
I have God i have a good support team behind me so i am good. Yes i would love to have your addy as i doubt i will be here often.
Maybe he was not the one and that things won't happening because? who knows what the future holds but i know i will have my joy soon.

Mail me ure addy and we will talk more. Hugs and kisses xxxxxx

nandos · 01/12/2008 11:26

thx sarashy hope you get pregnant within the 1st couple of cycles too.. if i may ask when did u take your last tablet? first cycle?
the pain is usually the ovary trying to gear up for ovulation or you might be ovulating. if the pain is too much, u might want to ring your consultant or something...2 days is still alright ut if more than 3 days i would be a bit concerned.

sarashy · 30/11/2008 22:47

hey nandos congratulations huni! hopefully i will get there in the first couple of months too.
Had a bit of pain this wknd, which i assume is ovulation pain as its on the right side where they said my follicles were. Has anyone else had this? i sometimes get a bit but this has been for 2 days now.

Congrats honey bunny...

nandos · 30/11/2008 13:04

hi cam, hope u r feeling better each day..
i also have a similar motto which is ' life is short, be happy'.
btw thx for asking..
i just found out last wk that i am pregnant, maybe around 5wks now. the 2nd cycle worked for me and i was shocked. dh swimmers were very poor when we got the results last wk so it was not expected at all.
i really hope this beanie sticks well cos' i really cant go thru another mc again..

well i gotta go now cos' need to do laundry and a friend is coming over so will chat with u again soon ..
take care and good luck with everyone else on clomid..

cam75 · 29/11/2008 21:51

thanks nandos,
how are things going with you?
Georgie2900,
thanks for your kind words. I am not afraid of being alone in fact of the matter is that he lied!!!! he has 2 children to different mothers? i am not jelous of that i am hurt that i was neva told. The one son that i do know i have known him from 2yrs old and we are close.
He has been selfish and there has been alot of things wrong but when your in love you think you should put up with s. I am in a good place right now and i know that someone special will come my way. For now i am going to think about me and what i have to do and goals i want to achieve. I have a good family and friends so i will be ok. Life is too short to be down and out, the sky is the limit so i am going to get mine....

nandos · 29/11/2008 16:13

Hi cam,
im sorry to hear that you broke up with your partner i think u have done the right thing by separating right now..u really need your space.
i have a friend who was in exact position as you last time, she found out that her b/f had a teenage daughter and never told her but she end up marrying him anyway after sorting everything out.
re your child, pls dont worry too much cos' hopefully you'll find a good person who you can share your life with in the future and have children together.
btw Happy Birthday to you in two wks time
try not to cry k and do come and visit us on MN whenever you feel like it..

take care
xxhugssxx

Georgie2900 · 29/11/2008 10:04

Hi Cam,

I dont know you but i am truely sorry to read whats happened... 9 years is a long time to throw away, are you sure your doing the right thing? Are you doing it because you cant trust him or because he has 2 of what you want????

Sometimes we let our heart rule our head, and this makes us do funny things, think about it if you and your partner have been trying for a long time and then he finds out he has a child, i think it would be really hard for him to tell you, maybe he didnt want to upset you anymore than you are... Men dont think!!!

Cam what ever you decide is your decision, but its your birthday and xmas coming up and thats not a time to be alone...

Take care xxx

cam75 · 28/11/2008 23:24

lauralou dungungirl ladies,
sorry i have not been in touch. I have had heartache and have been down in the dumps.
I finished clomid cycle 6 and i doubt that i am preganant. To let you guys know that me and my partner have broken up??? yes it's true. I have just found out that he has another child?? teenager? i knew he had the one child which i grew to love and i would look after him. I found out he found out an never told me??? so you can tell that i am depressed to say the least. 9 f*** years we have been together and now this? i can't be with him i really can't, if he neva told me about this child then what else has he beeen up to? All the tablets and stress of is it working or not. So i am single and childless what more can i do? I have put up with alot of things but this i can't do. I feel like i don't know him at all. I feel sick and i am just putting on a happy face and leave it alone. I know that my child will come to someone who is more deserving and will respect me.
Happy birthday too me!!1 it will be in 2wks time tuesday. I have cried my tears now i can move on with my life.

Good luck to you all on clomid it works wonders......
I will pop in from time to time. Love you guys thanks for all the support you have given me.

Georgie2900 · 28/11/2008 20:42

CAM WERE ARE YOU ?

clairebear88 · 28/11/2008 18:51

hi all

Georgie welcome to clomid chicks. I hope you get on ok with the tabs and you get your positive result at the end of it.
Im now off the clomid but still hang around to hear how everybody is getting on.

Sarashy - good news about follicles so have a wicked weekend and relax

Take care

sarashy · 28/11/2008 18:08

hey Georgie- when taking clomid they usually monitor you closely for the first month to check that its actually working and that they are not over stimulating you overies as this can cause problems, so thats what the scan was for.
And good news it shows that i have got two follicles that they expect to pop within the next 48hrs. so guess what ill be doing this wknd. lots and lots of bding. And no ive not fallen yet. me and my hubby have been tring for over 2 yrs now so fingers crossed the clomid will work as its taken ages to get to this stage.
Fingers crossed we get there soon hey.

Georgie2900 · 28/11/2008 15:37

Thanks Dungungirl, i read alot of messages from you previously, so i feel quite chuffed youve written to me... i know my weight is an issue and i do try and do summit about it but for some reason it dont go anywhere....

Its been a bit worse of late because i lost my mum, but i hope when i come back from euro disney i can start again.....

Congrats on your pregnancy....xxx

DungunGirl · 28/11/2008 13:33

Another thing I forgot to add was that being overweight was a BIG barrier to falling pregnant for lots of us.

I was diagnosed with PCOS and once I knew this, I knew I could not make excuses for my weight anymore as it wasn't helping.

I lost 2.5 stone and even though I am still well overweight, it was enough ! i was trying for 14 months before this with no luck, then as soon as I lost the 2 stone, I fell pregnant.

Unfortunately I lost the baby at 7 weeks.

But 2 months later and another half stone gone, I was pregnant again!!

It is hard to hear but losing weight may be the magic cure!

Georgie2900

Just to answer your question.

Yes there have been loads of pregnancies happen on here.
You have just missed a whole bunch of us getting our good news together!

At one point there was someone getting a positive almost every other day!

But there tends to then be a slightly dry patch for a while.

To lift your spirits even more, the original founder of this thread ( this is PART 2 ) had her baby girl in September.

We have had a few early miscarriages unfortunately...but even then a few of us are now well on our way to a successful pregnancy.

I am now 21 weeks gone and another lady who was on here in the past is only about 2 weeks ahead of me!

There is loads and loads of success stories...just stay persistant and keep going! Good luck!

Georgie2900 · 27/11/2008 20:45

Georgie2900 · 27/11/2008 20:08

sarashy · 27/11/2008 18:52
