hey claire, i had a miscarriage june last year, i concieved naturally while waitin on my af to cum to start the clomid... i waited until i think it was oct/nov to start clomid but that was my choice i jus thought i would c if i could get pregnant myself but obviously still waitin. its not a nice thing to go through but u jus have to get on with it like dont u... u dont realize how common miscarriages are until u have 1 and if ur like me i research everythin on the internet.
how have u been feelin frm the dnc.

stac hows things with u missus?

hows every1 else
xoxo

Hey Stac

I had it done and it was honestly fine, It is just like having a smear test, You will be in there for about 10 15 mins and you wont even hardly notice anything is going on. XX

stac14 · 04/07/2009 16:22

fantastic clwc I have been using our wii much more at the moment, the pain in my arms is enough to put me off lol. I have always had heavy periods unless on the pill but think the pcos only came on about 2/3 years ago as concieved ds within 3 months of stopping the pill and no assistance, bodies are fickle things. Not long till your appoinment now hun, you getting excited?

Hows the rest of you ladies? I'm not looking forward to the dye thing, some people have said it really hurts, how have you found it? xxx

Clwc · 04/07/2009 00:59

Well, stac, at least my tan is getting topped up

My period was light again today. And it has not been red at all this month. So strange. God only knows what tomorrow will bring. Only in the last year or so have I had heavy ones. They were always short and light before. I almost thought I didn't have PCOS when it was diagnosed, due to having such light periods normally. But it was a heavy one that prompted me to get checked out in the first place, so I suppose you just don't know what's going to happen.

You won't believe this....... I joined a gym!!!! Only for 5 weeks though. I'll be going on Sunday at 11am. It'll probably kill me if this weather keeps up. Lol.

Hey claire I'm really not sure what the consultant will decide the next move is, just wish this scan was over with so I know were I stand. Grab a hot water bottle (maybe not the best idea with the heat we are having) for your stomach. What have you been up to? Relaxing I hope!!

Hey clwc aww hen another heavy one, think thats a side effect of the pcos. I keep thinking mine will come as I have pmt and some cramps but so far sweet f.a lol. I dont envy you having to work in this heat I am struggling enough trying to look after the boys in this weather. xxx

Clwc · 02/07/2009 09:30

Hello everyone,

I'm OK. Too hot though! Glad to see Claire back in one piece
AF's getting heavier. And there's me wanting it to stop in the next 2 days.
Gotta go do some work in this lovely heat. Great
See you later. x

Hey Stac

When i came out of hospital the pain was fine but i think thats because i had a lot of morphine in my system, Tuesday had a bit more but yesterday and this morning its been really bad like the worst period pains of your life so im just keeping dosed up on painkillers,

Are you excited about possibly starting iui? XX

stac14 · 01/07/2009 22:10

Hey ladies I am good thanks kind of hoping af comes naturally, then I will take a sneaky round of clomid lol
claire hopefully the bleeding wont last to long, are you in much pain? Glad to see your being positive hun
lauren good they have calmed down, do you use opk's?

askim mine did that with the clomid, seemed like it was very little for a couple of days then came full on, think the clomid messes about chick

claire001 · 01/07/2009 17:32

Hi Girls

Sorry i havent been on the past couple of days iv been feeling a bit rough since the ERPC.

It all went ok but im in a bit of pain and having very heavey bleeding, I started taking clomid on Monday and days 2 and 3 im going to take 150mg then days 4,5 and 6 im going to take 200mg then days 7 and 8 go back down to 150mg,

Weve decided to start trying again straight away so just need for the bleeding to stop and it all starts again,

askim sorry about the af coming, How long have tou been on clomid now? Was that your first round?

Stac How are you?

How are you getting on Clwc?

stac14 · 01/07/2009 12:39

hey clwc No af for me, have had some pmt though, that may be because the school hols have started here and I have DS and step DS who are 10 and 11 and at the age were the huffing has kicked in, it like living with kevin & perry lol

askim good to hear your more positive now, cd1 is the most depressing day isnt it? what dosage of clomid are you on?

Hey lauren has the sweats calmed down yet?

claire how ar you hun? how did monday go? xxxx

Clwc · 01/07/2009 10:32

Lauren, I'm not taking Clomid at the moment.

Stac, I'm not in that much pain yet, but I feel a little bit worse each day. If it started last Saturday, I hope I'll be done with it by Friday. I doubt that though. Hmph.
Still no AF for you?

Askim · 01/07/2009 01:30

hey stac14 , yeah they only letting me take round 2 on 1,3,5 days only 3 tablets becos they said it worked to much last month..im also on 1500mg of metiformm(dont mind the spelling) now too..
This better be my month lol.xxx

stac14 · 30/06/2009 23:40

Hey lauren yeah I wish they knew what it was like then they would stop putting us though so much crap lol, I hated the hot flushes although I have to say the weather has been roasting so thats not helping with the clomid flushes

Hey clwc hope you dont get a bad yin like last time hun, have you been in much pain. Think Claire was going to in yesterday but would be back out the same day, hope she is ok.

Hey askim soz af got you hun, are they only letting you take 3 days of clomid because you had 3 large folicles? hope your ok chick, try not to get too down, I know its hard but be positive you will get your bfp

Hows everyone else? baby dust to all!!!

Askim · 30/06/2009 21:41

Clwc · 30/06/2009 10:15

Hello everyone,

When did Claire say she'd be back out of hospital? I hope she's managing OK.

Not much news here. A bit TMI, but I've been having a 'brown' and light period. I hope it doesn't go the same way as last month. That was horrible.

Askim · 28/06/2009 21:27

Hey ladies, just thought i would give u's a little update becos im soo confused.
Well had my last af on 2nd june 2009 had my scan on cd 11 were i was told i had 3 folicles and that i should have intercourse this month as there was too many, went against the doctors advised and from that day on had intercourse every day, over past few days i have noticed that my stomach has been getting cramps and some sharp pains...my af would be expected on 30th which is 2 days from now, but today i have notice a browish discharge when i go loo, no blood just browish...not sure if my af or anything else, i really hope it would be implantation bleeding, just dont no...

fingers crossed, if not round 2 for me ((

Laurenl502 · 28/06/2009 20:46

Clwc · 28/06/2009 01:46

Hi Claire,

I've heard many stories of women falling pg very soon after a MC. Just do whatever feels right for you. At least you know you can get pregnant As the Scots say, "What's for you will not go by you" (add accent if you wish). Right stac? x x x
