Thought I'd start another thread as the last one was SO successful but is starting to take a while to load and I keep losing my place in it!

A quick update on my stats - on CD39 of third cycle since getting AF back after DS was born in April 2004 (10.5 months old).

Have endometriosis and PCOS so have decided to let nature take its course over the next few months and if I fall pg naturally, then so be it. If I don't, then we'll try clomid again (worked first time for us with DS).

Am still breastfeeding, so have erratic cycles - they were always long (so far have had AF visit twice and had 50 and 42-day cycles).

No idea when I ov - may try OPK's next month if no success this month (and don't think I am pg atm).

Think that's it!

Lots and lots of babydust to all the ttcers and lots and lots of babyglue to those who've just had BFPs (and more congrats!). xxx

hello everyone
good luck anchovies.
Bev - did you get those OV tests? I posted them yesterday.

Well I had first session at acupuncturist today - very interesting and feeling positive. CD8.

well anchovies? BFP or BFN??

munnzieb · 01/03/2005 14:12

right then girls, I have one of my jokes for you, (in fact i'm gonna have to chase Rudy and tell her aout it as well!) entitled do u know dave???

Dave was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, i know everyone thereis to know.Just name someone, anyone, and i know them" Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Dave, how about Tom Cruise?""No drama's boss, Tom and i are old friends, and i can prove it." So Dave and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door, and Tom Cruise shouts, "Dave! What's happening? Great to see you! Come on in for a beer!" Although impressed, Dave's boss is still sceptical.

After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Dave that he thinks him knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just name anyone else," Dave says. "President Bush," his boss quickly retorts. "Yup," Dave says, "Old buddies; let's fly out to Washington D.C." .... And off they go. At the White House, President Bush spots Dave on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, "Dave, what a suprise, i was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up." well the boss is very shaken by now but still not totally convinced.

After they leave the White House grounds he expresses his doubts to Dave, who again implores him to name anyone else. "The Pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Dave. "My folks are from Poland, and i've known the Pope a long time."...So off they fly to Rome. Dave and his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Dave says, "This will never work, i can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, i know all the guards, so let me just go upstairs and i'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." And he disappears into the crowd, headed toward the Vatican.

Sure enough, half an hour later Dave emerges with the Pope on the balcony and waves in his bosses direction. But by the time Dave returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to his boss' side, Dave asks him, "What happened!" His boss looks up and says, "i was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony, and the man next to me said,

" Who the f's that on the balcony with Dave?"

Hello all TTC-ers!! CD27 now and trying desperately to find signs of pg but none there.

Munzie - Thanks and glad to hear your Dh is coming home for good. He won't be able to walk soon I doubt!!!

Anchovies - Try not to kill the people in Boots for giving you a duff test....... on seconds thoughts kill away they deserve it for putting you through that!! Hope the next one's got better results.

Well I have to head to the hell hole, I mean work place for another day so bye for now. I can't do baby dust but if I could I would for everyone.

Bye!

runtus · 01/03/2005 11:24

Forgot to ask Sparkly - did your Dr tell you why you had the break through bleeding whilst on Clomid at all? I totally forgot to ask last night when i spoke to him and don't want to call him again and sound like a neurotic old bag!

runtus · 01/03/2005 11:04

Thanks Munzie and hooray for your dh being home soon - he won't know whats hit him!

anchovies · 01/03/2005 10:06

Did the test at 5am this morning after about an hours sleep (excited me??!!) and guess what??? It didn't work - no lines at all! Was so gutted! Am off to Boots shortly for some more, dont know if I'll be able to wait til the morning though!

fresco · 01/03/2005 09:56

munnzieb · 01/03/2005 09:16

CD 15 here, just OV only 10 more till this cycle is over then one more b4 DH is home - YAY!!!!!!! can't wait to get on the bandwagon again! i'm soooo excited and he's home for good! yay!!!!! so give me two months and I have to be PG or I really will go mad after 11 months of waiting!

runtus · 01/03/2005 08:33

Thanks for the help ladies, much appreciated! Consultant is great, always able to get a message to him and back out again via his secretary and doesn't seem to mind me being a paranoid nutter! Took my first Clomid pill of this cycle today so I expect I'll feel like poo later on - but I guess it is all worth it

Really really hope it makes me ovulate this time round, not sure I can spend the whole month waiting to find out and then be disappointed all over again. Got really depressed when 50mg didn't work (over the top really but couldn't help it) so hoping that 100mg does thr trick!

Good luck everyone else - lets get those fingers crossed!

fresco · 01/03/2005 08:27

hi ladies

CD4 and curiously coming off.funny, hormons back to normal so is my blood flow (sorry for the details).the body is a funny machine but a clever one at that.do any of you have bad af, i mean by bad a high flow of blood to the point where you need to use maternity pads instead of tampax or regular pads?
well today need to go and get my passport for the holiday in April and get dd a passport as well.Thats going to be a headache but needs to be done.

any more testers coming soon?
also i am pleased to see that instead of lasting 6 days now af just last 3 or 4 days as they used to.so mayb my body wasnt ready b4 for another pg where now it may b.

Canadianmom · 28/02/2005 21:11

Your test may have been too early... You will feel much better once you have either tested again or if you are crazy (like me) once you have missed another period. (I HATE testing until I am already 100% convinced that it will be +.) In my experience most MNers would encourage you to test again...
Wait to see what others advise. Best wishes.

hiya Cad mom, how u doing over there?

popadopalis · 28/02/2005 19:47

Hi Babybop, I'm popadopalis. I once bled after BD but didn't last too long. I was a bit shocked and worried. If it continues best to ask dr. Sorry can't be more help.

Canadianmom · 28/02/2005 19:45

Hello munnzieb! (From lurker to stalker for me!) How can you tell that the little ones are in front of the telly? I have a moment to play on MN before starting to worry about tea!

munnzieb · 28/02/2005 19:44

pop here u go, failing that start a persona wanted thread either in for sale/waned, they normally go relativly quickily thou.

Canadianmom · 28/02/2005 19:42

/runtus: Glad that your consultant was available to answer your question! Best wishes with the Clomid!

Canadianmom · 28/02/2005 19:41

Welcome popadopalis. I chat with twiga often on the ttc following a miscarriage thread and I am a snoop on this thread as well... Don't know much about persona but I am sure that you will have a better reply shortly as I see the name tossed around here often and I believe that they are often sold secondhand through MN.
