Yeah, lilew the three of us are pretty close in cycle days. I am on CD 19, popsy 17, and you 14! I hope we are all ovulating! Are you still feeling the lower back pains popsy? The pressure I mentioned earlier where my ovaries are has decreased. I really hope that was because I was ovulating. I noticed a temperature rise this morning which could possibly mean that yesterday was my ovulation date. DH and I didn't do the deed last night because we were so tired (tmi - and I was pretty dry ) so now I am kicking myself that we didn't do it. We did do it three of the four days before that so hopefully that will be enough. I really shouldn't get ahead of myself because I don't even know if I ovulated. I will know for sure on Monday! OK, enough about me...

stac, I hope AF arrives soon so you can start Clomid. I agree on waiting a little more before taking Provera just in case AF gets here soon.

kimpin, thanks for sticking around here and I'm glad to hear that you aren't having any real symptoms. Let us know how your appointment goes next week.

popsy1 · 28/10/2009 15:16

Thanks Hun, I really hope so. Take care xxx

kimpin · 28/10/2009 12:42

Hey Stace & Popsy - I'm feeling great - no real symptoms....I took another test this morning becuase I wasn't 'feeling' pregnant, and it was still a strong positive...whew...I have an appt next week to confirm with doc...looking forward to that.
Stace & POpsy- this could be your month...my fingers are crossed for both of you. xx

stac14 · 28/10/2009 12:15

Hey lauren 18 weeks already time has flown by hun, do you know what your having? How are you? Not heard from Claire for ages. I am ok still plodding along 3rd bfn so its back to the waiting game for af so I can start clomid. Think I can safely say its not my month this time.

Hey ladies, how are you all? defo bfn for me so awaiting af, whenever that shows, tempted to take provera to get it started but will wait and see, any news from anyone? how are you kimpin?
baby dust to all xxx

Hey Lauren! How exciting you're having twins!! That's great news!

popsy1 & sevans - the 3 of us seem fairly close together in our cycles. I'm on CD14 now. Here's hoping we all ovulate xxx

sevans · 27/10/2009 20:15

Congrats Livvigirl! That is wonderful news.

Hi Lauren, I wasn't on this thread when you were so it's nice to meet you! Wow--twins!! That is wonderful! Did you have much trouble getting pregnant? I am currently on my first round of Clomid and hopefully ovulating right about now! I go in for my day 21 bloods next Monday. Before the Clomid, we tried for three months and apparently I didn't ovulate once. I have PCOS.

It's great to hear from a success story from both you and Livvigirl!

xoxo

wot about claire, u heard anythin about her

LiLew · 27/10/2009 13:40

Hey Livvigirl! Congratulations! Thanks for telling us this - it helps when you hear success stories as you can get very down each time AF comes. I've been feeling like I want to give all this up now and just start enjoying myself again without having this constant worry! It's good to know that there is hope though and it will all be worth it in the end!

Livvigirl · 27/10/2009 13:06

Hi there,

Just to add to your thread, I have been having treatment for PCOS and tried Clomid - did'nt work, so my Doctor did the ovarian drilling thing, then put me back onto 100mg of clomid, this was the first month - and I'm pregnant!!! So just to say keep going you will get there!! I was trying for 2.5 years. x

kimpin · 27/10/2009 12:31

I knew I ovulated when I had major pressure feeling in my lower abdomen, and some cramping...it was crazy the amout of pressure I was feeling... At one point, I couldn't even walk straight...but that only lasted a day....the pressure and cramping lasted about 2 days.

LiLew · 27/10/2009 11:15

Oh how annoying stac14! It must be driving you mad hun! What CD are you on now?

popsy1 - cons said that if it goes past 35 days then I probably haven't ovulated, so we'll start to look at IVF if that's the case.

kimpin - I'm sure it will all be fine hun! It's strange how pregnancy symptoms are pretty much the same as AF symptoms - just to confuse us! I'm on my 4th round of clomid and have been TTC for 2 years now.

what did i tell you girlies - its as if i knew ...am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo thrilled and excited - more baby dust your way ..xxxx

sevans · 26/10/2009 19:33

popsy I was about to post a similar question. I am not having back pain but am on CD 17 and feel a slight cramp where my ovaries are. I don't really want to call it a cramp because it isn't painful. I can just feel something there, like a twinge maybe. I feel it more on my left side. Has anyone had this feeling around ovulation time? I really hope this is a sign on ovulation...and for you too Popsy!!

popsy1 · 26/10/2009 19:27

Hey ladies forgot to ask has anyone ever had lower back pain as a symptom of ovulation? On CD 16 and had cramps and cm but today had alot of pain in my lower back on the left hand side that lasted approx 20mins. Never had it before.

Xxxx

popsy1 · 26/10/2009 19:15

Hi all.
Lilew any ideas why yr cons said to contact him if u go past 35 days? I start on day 36 last month! Xx

kimpin · 26/10/2009 18:57

stac14 - what is your cycle day?

kimpin · 26/10/2009 18:54

Thank you all of you girls...LiLew - I am over the moon...still think this is all a dream. I'm trying not to get too excited right away - as I still fear the worst could happen. BUt as far as preg symptoms - nothing really....other than I feel really bloated - REALLY bloated...fuller bbs and slight cramping off and on...that's it. I really felt my AF was going to start the day before it was due...and it just didn't come. I am still in shock, and just praying that all goes well. What about you Lilew - how long have you been on clomid?

stac14 · 26/10/2009 18:54

Hey lilew still no signs of af, but 2 negative tests so not holding out much hope of bfp, thats good your cons is being on your side and heres hoping you dont have to have ivf hun.

Hows everyone else? xxxx

LiLew · 26/10/2009 16:16

You must be over the moon kimpin! I can't ever imagine getting a BFP - I think I'd pass out haha! Have you had any pregnancy symptoms?

I've just got back from the consultant. He said that I can stay on the Clomid for another 8 months (so a total of 12 months). I've got another appointment with him in 3 months but he said that if my cycles go longer than about 35 days then to make an appointment to see him sooner and he'll consider referring me for IVF. Let's hope it doesn't get to that!
