Hi LucieB,i have done another 2 boots own tests this morning and also 1 clearblue test(got to be sure),and all 3 have shown positive. Im actually due my period today(32 days) so yes i guess im PG.My boobs are sore but no other symptoms yet.How are you keeping?

bunny2 · 16/06/2003 13:23

hi again. Quackers, were you asking what the Clomid treatment is? Clomid fools your body into ovulating, it is taken on day 2 of the cycle, for 5 days, then, hey Presto, you should ovulate @ day 12 or 14. It should work for people like me who only ovulate rarely or not atall. The reason dh is very happy about this drug is he is guaranteed lots of sex every month. With my very long cycle, he misses out a bit.

LucieB · 16/06/2003 11:38

oops - sorry for the repetition!

LucieB · 16/06/2003 11:38

Dino55 - have you done another test?
How are you feeling? I have no real symptoms yet...
How is everyone else?

Bunny - sorry to hear your news
I have a friend who had the same irregular cycles as you and wasn't always ovulating. However, the first month she took Chlomid, she got pg - so best of luck!!!

That's a real pain Bunny 2 - hope choccy helped! Lots of love xxxx Fingers crossed for the treatment. Forgive my naivity - what exactly does that do?

bunny2 · 15/06/2003 22:31

Cheers Dino55. Feel really fed up so I am off to find chocolate and wine. If I am not pregnant I may as well enjoy myself!

dino55 · 15/06/2003 22:28

Bunny2 so sorry for you,just keep on trying im sure it will happen soon,sending lots of luck and hugs your way.

bunny2 · 15/06/2003 22:26

Thanks Ghosty, it's so nice to have support here. I hope your pregnancy is progressing well. I might not be far behind you. Once I start on the Clomid I am confident I'll get pregnant quickly. Dh will think all his Christmases have come at once!

Ghosty · 15/06/2003 22:14

Oh Bunny ... sorry to hear that ... not fair not fair not fair!!!
Hope you can start the treatment soon ... hugs {{{}}}

bunny2 · 15/06/2003 22:07

Oh Ghosty, curiosity got the better of me and I did one this evening . Negative . Iam not surprised as my doctor doesnt think I ovulate. But I am disappointed. Now I wish my flippin period would start so I can begin my Clomid treatmnent.

Ghosty · 15/06/2003 21:30

Bunny2 ... Morning sickness can DEFINITELY strike in the evening ... in fact that is when I suffer most ... it is to do with tiredness ...
I had classic Morning Sickness with DS ... throw up twice every morning and then feel rough till noon ... but this time round I don't feel so bad in the morning but get steadily worse through out the day .... and am a wreck by tea time!!
You might well be ... Have you done a test yet??

bunny2 · 15/06/2003 20:50

Hi Dino, my cycles are roughly 5 weeks or roughly 8 weeks (very roughly) so I might be late now (if this is a 5 week cycle) or not. Its very difficult. I do feel a bit sick, did too last night. Can morning sickness occusr in the evening or is it just wishful thinking?

dino55 · 15/06/2003 20:33

Bunny2 how long has your longest cycle been?

bunny2 · 15/06/2003 19:43

Dino55, fantastic news, well done. It's great to hear others getting lucky! Congratulations.

I'm still waiting, no period for nearly 6 weeks but with an irregular cycle, when do I start to get excited? I have done so many pregnancy tests in the last 12 months, it is getting to be a habit. Cant face doing one right now and getting another negative. I'll wait a few more days. Good luck to everyone else on this thread. Lets see more good news.

marypoppins · 15/06/2003 19:02

Congratulations LucieB!

I've been reading how much you wanted to be pregnant this month and am truly delighted to hear the news. You give us all hope!

I'm ttc in September, but hope those of you on this thread at the moment will be successful before then. Best of luck everyone!

marsup · 13/06/2003 18:36

Hi to those of you less successful than LucieB. I just wanted to say that I tried to get pregnant for 18 months (with ovulation tests and all the rest) and was just booked in for infertility tests when I finally made it. So there is hope! My only advice is go doggy and forget the missionary position. Not sure I'm a very successful example though.

quackers · 13/06/2003 16:44

Come on HD, Big bird, Moosh, Sibble, Bunny 2 and anyone who is ttc at the mo. Lets make it a hat trick!!

quackers · 13/06/2003 16:43

WELL DONE DINO!! I'm really pleased for you - you sound SO surprised. I am very very jealous and very very happy for you!!!! This has been a very inspiring week!!!
Lots of love for you two and your bundles of joy to be
xxxx

BigBird · 13/06/2003 16:38

congrats dino55, hope i'll b joining u 2

LucieB · 13/06/2003 16:30

wow!!! Double the good news then! Fingers crossed for you. Perhaps you should do another test on Monday/Tuesday to make absolutely sure. But as quite a few Mumsnetters said to me yesterday a faint line is STILL a positive result. So congrats and take care of yourself. Hopefully soon we (and some more of the contributors to this thread) will be chatting on the Feb 2004 pregnancy thread!

dino55 · 13/06/2003 16:01

oh god im not actually due till mon(32 days)but couldnt resist doing test (boots)and there is a very faint blue line,oh my god ,what do you think!

LucieB · 13/06/2003 14:44

Try every day if you can until you are sure that you have ovulated - give yourself plenty of chance to get it right. I am delighted but as I said earlier, am trying to keep my feet on the ground too!

BigBird · 13/06/2003 14:41

lucieB - you must be thrilled. Great to hear about the O on day 19 - i'm on day 18 at the mo and keeping up the 'every 48 hours' bd so i'll keep it up a few more days I guess!
