Hi all

Sarashy - take before you go to bed as definately reduces side effects. Good luck with them and just look after yourself.

forgot to ask, whens best to take it morning or night?
x

yeah!!!!! finally i have my clomid. rang and rang and rang the secretary of my consultant so much so i think she did it to get me off her back. Was slightly gutted though as the first chemist i took it too said they couldnt read it and i had to go bk to the hospital was not happy. But all sorted now, just took it to another chemist.
So just got to wait for af now then i can start taking it. Although it not to turn up and me be pg would be better. Af due tomorrow then due to start first clomid sat. anyone on same day would love some support.
hope everyones ok n keeping their head up.
fingers crossed and baby dust to all.

Hi Ray

Big congrats for your BFP, if i have the energy am going to try the morning and night thing.

Hope all goes well keep us posted

Hi Ray

Sounds like implantation pains so that sounds good. Funnily enough my mum said to me the other day that when she fell for me she had a week of really bad nightmares so all looks good for you.
I hope you have a smooth sailing pregnancy and keep us posted on your progress.

Nandos - I hate the 2ww . Thanks for not missing me out lol

hey nandos,

i didnt have an awful lot of symptoms i must say not usual ones anyway.

I normally get Sore BB and had none.

I havent been sleeping well which is unusual for me, and have been having very strange dreams. Night sweats and waking up feeling like i have wet myself, which was quite awful.
Feeling tired although not majorly but just like i have no energy at all. and irritable like i want to kill someone!!!
i also had a very overwhelming feeling just after Ov that it has worked and i actually felt PG. Very thick and creamy Cm and bowels playing up (sorry Tmi).

I realy dont know why i did the test this morn as Af wasnt due til fri but when i woke up i had the overwhelming urge to do it. at first it was just one line but after the full 3 mins it was 2 and i thought was imagining it but DH could see it to so was def there.
i have just been and brought the CB digital Pg test which tells you how far you are and i'm going to wait til fri morn and do it then.

i'm alittle worried as have very bad bachache today and this is a normal Af symptom and also funny pains in the womb area although i must say that they are not af pains but sharp little pains that come and go.

I am going to make an appointment with the doc for later in the week and see what he says as have had the 2 mc before. I have also decided that i will pay to have a scan at 7 weeks to make sure everything is ok.

Great news ray! Congrats !!
Hope it will be a safe and uncomplicated 9mths for you
do share with us your symptoms b4 a BFP
Cam 75, fingers crossed for you this on this last cycle..
Claireear, we didnt forget you..how can we? btw 2ww is 2 week wait.. n hopefully the results is good..

OMG Ray

Big congrats to you and DH I really hope this is a sticky one for you. I have missed cd8 as now on cd11 but am just gonna bd loads and follow your plan next month.
Keep us updated on this thread as its so nice to hear good news.

Take care and look after yourself

Cam - Sorry your aunt has shown up, I really hope the last month of clomid is a winner and you will be celebrating big time on your bday. Good luck

Hi cam thanks for the congrats.

i dont know if it will work for you but i followed the sperm meets egg plan this month.
You BD from CD8 everyother day and then do OPks from CD10 when you get your +ive on OPKs you BD for 3 days in a row and then miss a day and then again on the 5th the theory is that you are bound to hit the spot.
Me and DH followed this but we BD morning and night on Bd days and inbetween when we could. i also took aspirin for the first 2 weeks to help lining and took showers instead of baths as didnt want to wash any of the sperm away.

its has worked and i was taking clomid too so perhaps you could give it a try you never know.
Good luck and baby dust to you

Oh congraulations............

My ladies Dungungirl,Lauralou, Nandos and anyone else who i may have missed. When i hate to be the bearer of bad news but aunt flo has shown up!!! I have started my final round of clomid!!!! i hope it works this month i really do. It my birthday next month that would be a fantasic present it really would be. I took the tablet late last nite i think i slept tho the side effects...... I hope there are going to be some more BFP.. Hang in there ladies xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Baby dust all the way............

Hey guys,

Guess what did a test this morn and BFP. OMG i am Pregnant cant believe it after nearly 5 years it has happened.

I hope this is a keeper as have had 2 MC before and so want this to be real. Please let this be real.

Good luck to everyone else and by the way me and DH bd 17 times this month so try it guys it worked for me.

Clairebear,

God i wish that i was more toned but still wobbly and flabby so that didnt work. i had lots of energy though which was great as needed it. You should follow the sperm meets egg plan as it gives focus. You Bd every other day from CD8 then start OPKs from CD10 once you have +ive Bd for 3 days miss a day and then again on the 5th day. The theory is that you should hit the right time then.
Me and DH bd from cd8 but 2 times a day on CD8 CD10 and then CD12 got +ive on CD14 and BD morning and night and inbetween for 4 days missed a day and then again even found that we were waking in the night and bding which was quite exciting DH thought he had died and gone to heaven. He even said at one point that he hoped it didnt work so that we could do it again next month. GIT !!! must admitt i nearly killed him then.

Now see when i put it down like that it seems pretty positive, we must have hit the point surely and if we havent i give up. What more can we do i think we gave it our all and if that hasnt worked then life is seriously such a bitch.
Well i have kind of an excited feeling about it now as it must have worked. Oh Pllllleeeeeeessssssseeeeeeeee let it have worked.
I am due either thurs or fri am going to try so hard not to test til monday. I just cant imagine being PG again i would be soo soo soooooooooooooooooo happy/ Oh please let it be.

Good luck clairbear for the next week i'll be praying for you. and will be here for the 2 week wait (2ww) if you need anything.

Hi girlies

I thought you had all gone and desserted me, i started really worrying about how I was gonna get through all this without you lovely lot.
Ray - 17 times, my my you have been busy at least you should be a bit more toned after all that exercise lol. Im on cd10 so getting prepared for the next couple of weeks of trying hard. Try to keep positive about everything but I would check with doc about problems as could be side effects. Hope your ok.

Nandos - not had the results from scan yet but I reacon they will gather all results from scans/bloods and give them to me in one go.
Vics - glad all is ok on your 1st month of clomid keep positive and keep your mind busy
Whats 2ww by the way as I cant get into acronym list???

I have bought som agnus castus so gonna take them to balance my hormones and apparently it corrects luteal phase ( not that I know i have that ).

GOOD LUCK XX

Hi Pinkie,

I must admit that AF symtoms not as bad as normal. Also not sleeping very well at all realy strange dreams, kept waking up last night and also feeling very Hot and cold so maybe coming down with something. This may also be TMI but have very creamy CM its realy thick and white and also kept thinking i had wet myself when waking in the night, i didnt need to go that much but had to go and check i hadnt which is weird. Am very windy and Very tired not like normal but just very tired suppose that could be the feeling down thing though.
Also have been going to the toilet alot which is unlike me (sorry tmi but 2s you know). there is one more thing and thats that i just dont feel NORMAL, dont feel right in my skin its realy hard to explain but i just dont its weird. Mt foot is still swollen and the vein is still pulsing which is weird as it is a vien and not an artery so it shouldnt be pulsing, have also noticed the other foot is swollen to and it wasnt but kinda think may be getting myself out it there.

See when i put things down like that i feel abit more positive as these are things i dont normally have but then again my body does tend to play tricks on me and make me think i am when i'm not.

I'm glad you got over it quick this month i find its so much easier that way.

I may try the acupunture next month if it doesnt work. Good luck hon im realy keeping my fingers crossed for you and am so hoping it works. Even if it doesnt work for me perhaps you should try 17 times it may work !!! he he

Hi Ray,

Ohh Yes it arrived bang on CD28, i had some spotting a couple of days earlier and was really upset when that happened but everyone on here was so wonderful that by the next day i brushed myself off.

Its not over til The AF arrives so come on be positive. You will get there,just think after all that bding you have set a record. If its worked we will all be going for a 17.
what happened to your feet, is it still swollen.

I know its hard but you can have those symptoms and it be early pg?

I am now on cd4 so day 3 of clomid, acupuncture on weds, which i am really looking forward to.

hi pinkie,

Felling realy down as have lots of Af symptoms and know that it hasnt worked this month. starting to give up hope and wonder if it is ever going to happen ever.

have had a prob with computer all morn to and they took 2hrs to sort it and cried like 5 times over a bloody computer. Today is not a good day weather is shite and have just been to lunch and am now realy wet.

Need to go back home to bed i think.

Hi there everyone!

Hi CBear, how are you doing?

I am in the middle of the dreaded 2WW now. My first on clomid. Feeling OK, very anxious though. Shattered this week as just started a new job. Hoping that having no time to think and stress about dreaded 2WW will mean positive results. Also, my DS was 11 this week. Where does the time go??

Hope all you ladies are OK

Sending love and hugs to all, V x
