Hi sarashy

I didnt bother the first month on clomid and "just went with the flow", wish i hadnt now cos i did ov and i missed the days, what a waste of the working ovary and egg..

Am now on third cycle and last month used opks and again this month, i just feel that i am then giving it the best chance possible. I know there are some who say not to bother but its just my opinion.

I am using the clearblue ones as they say they are ok with clomid on the box.

Also following the sperm meets egg plan which says you can use opks with clomid.

Hope that helps

sarashy · 21/11/2008 16:11

Oh I am so so sorry to hear what has happened.

Take care of yourself, take some time out like you plan.

I know it is no consolation whatsoever at the moment, but I had a friend who miscarried 3 times in a row and for the fourth pregnancy she was monitored every other week all the way through and is now at home with her 2 month old baby girl.

It will happen! Don't lose hope.

Just take the time now to recover from the physical and emotional roller coaster. Hope to see you back before too long.

Take care of yourself ok....

Hi guys,

thought id update you all. Went to hosp yesterday and they have said i am miscarrying as hormones are so low just waiting to start to bleed now.

I may join you all again in a few months but right now just cant even think of trying again, i cannot spend another 4 years TTC to fall and then lose this early.
The only consolation i have is that as this will be the 3rd one at least they will investigate but as with the infertility they prob wont find anyhting wrong and then i'll be back to square one again.
Perhaps i just need to face up to the fact that i amm never going to have anymore children its obvioulsy not meant to be and i need to accept that and move on with my life opr at least try to.

God i was so so so happy (sobs) why why why does this always happen to me.

pinkie08 · 19/11/2008 09:24

HI Sarashy

Those little tablets they are not too bad, drink plenty of water, i only get the overheating thing so i think i've been lucky but be positive.

Are you having any blood tests later on in the month?

I had a few pains in my ovaries yesterday evening and into the night so hopefully the clomid has woken the ovaries up properly this month. Only one more set of tablets left before the consultant does further tests. YUCK am hoping the clomid works !!

sarashy · 18/11/2008 17:24

Thinkin bit more positive today. The bright side is if i had been pg this month then i wouldnt have been seeing take that next june. lol!!! Just gets to me sometimes, more than others. thanks for the support girls. im here if you ever need the same support.
Took my first clomid today and so far fingers crossed i feel fine.
hope everyones ok

Hi

Sarashy - i know its not fair but at least we know when we finally are blessed with kiddies we will be ready and full with love to give.We all have good and bad days but carry on reguardless, tomorrow is another day so hope you feel better today.
I had an internal scan a couple of weeks ago and they are nothing to worry about, they couldnt find my left ovary so had to route around a bit which was a bit uncomfy but no biggy. You will be fine im sure. As pinkie said its a probe shape and just move about to get a good look at everything.

Hope everyone is doing ok

pinkie08 · 18/11/2008 10:29

HI,

Sarashy

I had a few when they were checking my ovaries and insides due to recurrent miscarriages.

It painless but they and you get to see more details.

They use a probe that goes in and move that around, i dont remember and discomfort just abit but you get used to that too

sarashy · 17/11/2008 16:45

thanks Pinkie. Well bad news af arrived, but as you say at least now i can start the clomid in the morning. Decided sat here crying wasnt doing me any good so i just went and bought myself a new kitchen instead lol!! Funny what my husband will agree to when im upset. Just having a down day, ill pull myself out of it eventually. just wonder sometimes how many more times i can though, n when just to give up.
Book my appointment for my day 12 scan, they said about doing an internal scan? has anyone else had this?

pinkie08 · 17/11/2008 12:02

Hi sarashy

Please dont cry (((((hugs)))))

I went through the same thing for my first round of clomid but when the AF arrived i really felt that i was moving forward with the ttcing.

The other side is that its not over til the AF gets you.

Be positive you'll get there in the end.

Lots and lots of ((hugs))

Why do our bodies do this to us. It just doesnt seem fair. Af was due on friday and never showed up. so i been really good n stepped away from the testing kits. this morning thought right im 3-4 days late ill do a test. to be honest was beginning to get my hopes up only to be totally deverstated when it showed negative. So here i am, no af so cant start clomid, crying my eyes out. I really just want to go bk to bed and hide under the duvet. I dont know how much more disappointment i can take.

sarashy · 14/11/2008 11:32

hope ur side effects are getting better.
