Hi sevans I'm ok, af still hasnt came but have had loads of cramps and a bit of spotting so who knows why that is, hows you?

lilew that will be the clomid hun, I was terrible for that too bit of a nightmare of a side effect. I asked my cons about it at the time but he blamed my moods on the fact that I had previously had depression, but I knew it wasnt that as I haven't been depressed for years lol

Hows everone else? xxx

LiLew · 12/11/2009 20:12

Well I just burst into tears in the middle of Tesco's for no reason at all

I think it's going to be a bad AF - my moods are all over the place!

sevans · 12/11/2009 18:24

Hi stac, nice to hear from you. What has been going on with you?

Still no AF for me. Today is CD 34. Did a test Tuesday and got a BFN. Plan on testing again tomorrow if no AF before then.

Lil, maybe AF wont come for you!

stac14 · 12/11/2009 17:42

Hey popsy so sorry about af honey, wish there was something i can say to make it better sending virtual hugs and chocolate, hope you get your bfp next month.

Hows everyone else? xxx

sevans · 12/11/2009 14:53

Oh popsy, I'm so sorry about AF arriving and about your son that you lost earlier in the year. I had no idea about that. I can't even imagine what you are going through having to deal with it. I really hope this next month is your month. You definitely deserve it!

LiLew · 12/11/2009 13:56

Oh honey I'm sorry to hear that, I really am. I completely understand how you're feeling - you just want to say arse holes to it all don't you?! Keep your chin up though hun - you've managed to get pregnant before, so surely it can happen again. My consultant said that they can keep you on clomid for a year, so maybe it's not expected to happen so soon?

Try and do something nice for yourself to cheer you up. Drop everything for the rest of the day and have a bit of a pampering session and eat lots of chocolate!

We'll get there hun, don't you worry. I reckon my AF is going to arrive in the next day or so, so we can be cycle buddies

The one bright side of my AF arriving is that I can have a good drink without worrying haha!

popsy1 · 12/11/2009 12:00

Just re read my post. For those of you that dont know, i lost my baby boy earlier this year. I went into premature labour

Sorry again for the rant, just needed to vent.

popsy1 · 12/11/2009 11:39

AF arrived this morning . Excuse the language, but sooooo fucked off n fed up. Is it ever going to work? Surely if it was going to work, it would have by now?? Four month of feeling crap, side effects, ups and downs of emotions and failure!!
This time last year iwas pg with a healthy baby boy, i should be looking forward to his 1st christmas, not feeling like this.

ITS NOT FAIR!!!!!!

Rant over, sorry
xx

LiLew · 12/11/2009 09:11

Hey ladies! I've been so busy recently so haven't really had a chance to check in with you all! How is everyone doing?

Popsy - has AF arrived yet? I'm on CD29, but like you I have been getting those all too familiar cramp feelings. The good thing is that if AF arrives in the next few days then that should mean that I've ovulated two cycles in a row and my cycles are now becoming regular.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you sevans! Have you had any cramps or anything?

And how are you doing stac? Any sign of AF yet hun?

sevans · 11/11/2009 18:06

Hi millymolly! I'm doing well. Still no AF. I didn't do a test this morning as I am trying to hold out until Friday.

Where is everyone? I hope everything is going well.

millymolly83 · 11/11/2009 01:54

thanks sevans how are u geting on

Jojo1984b · 10/11/2009 22:29

I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully we will see some BFP's on here this month!

sevans · 10/11/2009 18:28

Hi jojo! Good luck at your scan on Friday. I did a cheapie test this morning and got a BFN. Today is CD32 and 14DPO. I really don't know how long to expect my cycle to be since this is my first time on clomid. I think I will do another test on Friday if AF still hasn't arrived by then.

Jojo1984b · 10/11/2009 11:41

Hey sevans, you tested yet?

Ive got a long wait only just finished the clomid. Going in on Fiday for a scan to see if there are any follicles. I noticed that some peoples cinics only scan them the first time but mine seem to do it every time which is good!

Hows everyone else?

xxxxxx

sevans · 09/11/2009 21:11

Welcome millymolly! Best of luck with the clomid this time around. It is exciting to hear that you were successful with your twins. We can all use some hope!

How is everyone doing?

millymolly83 · 07/11/2009 17:04

hi everone am starting my clomid again on the 10th of dec. and trying to xmas done for the twins. i had them on clomid 3 years they are comeing up 2 and half fell preg on the second month of clomid but the doctors say it might not be that quick this time. more things wrong with me but they think it will still work so fingers crossed hope u all are ok

popsy1 · 06/11/2009 17:14

Hey all hope you are all well.
I know what you mean jojo it seems that it's just 'babies, babies, babies' everywhere you look at the mo. Yes its so bloody unfair!!
How ya feeling today stac? The docs tell me to take northisterone when AF doesn't arrive. I only used to have 2 a year.

I'm on CD 27 and unfortunately don't think this is my month either. Cramps have started . My hubby says AF hasnt started so theres still hope. I know he's right but i think we all know the 'cramp feeling' only too well.
Haven't heard from littlemiss for a while, are you ok hun?
Love to all

xx

sevans · 06/11/2009 14:58

Hope you're feeling better today stac. Yes, it seems like everything is blamed on PCOS!

jojo, I know what you mean about other people being pregnant. It's hard to be as happy as you want to be for them because it seems so unfair. Especially when you hear they weren't even trying or it happened the first month!

I'm doing well. Today is CD 28 for me. My doctor mentioned coming in next Friday for a test if no AF which is CD 35. I've decided if AF doesn't get here by next Tuesday, I am going to test at home. That would be CD 32. I just hope I don't cave in and test this weekend!

Jojo1984b · 06/11/2009 12:44

hey all, hope everyones ok.
Started clomid again yesterday, and feeling ok! Although i have just found out my sister is having a baby boy, and my partners broters wife has just found out she is pregnant too

Dont get me wrong im made up for them both especially my little sis but its soooo not fair!!

Hope you are feeling better today stac.

Hows it going sevans, you must be able to test soon?

xxxxxx

stac14 · 05/11/2009 22:45

hey sevans it was kind of pinky, the doc just said it was part of my pcos (although I think they will blame everything on that) I have provera but think I will wait a while longer as I will be increasing the metformin. Its just a pain waiting about lol. How are you? Whens your test day? xxx

sevans · 05/11/2009 18:28

Hi stac sorry to hear that you are frustrated today. Did the doctor say anything as to what was going on with AF starting and disappearing? Was it brown spotting? I'm asking because I had some brown spotting throughout July-September when I didn't get one period. My doctor said the spotting was due to not ovulating and it was just old blood. That is when she gave me provera to induce my period and then started me on Clomid. I hope you get a proper AF soon so you can start Clomid. Are you going to take provera or try to wait it out a little longer?

stac14 · 05/11/2009 17:53

hey ladies on frustrated mode today, thought af was starting and its disappeared, so doc has upped my metformin to 850mg 3 times per day, I know you all know how I feel which is great cos trying to explain this to anyone else is too hard (sorry rant over)
How are you all today? xxxx

stac14 · 04/11/2009 22:21

hey sevans sounds like positive news hun, keep us posted.

You too popsy would be lovely to hear about some bfps

Well my af is on its way so know how you feel jojo hope its not too bad hun, I will be back on clomid this cycle too hate it

how are you lilew and littlemiss?

welcome to the thread pcb long periods between af's are a nightmare my longest was 9 month then the doc prescribed provera to bring it on. Hope you get it soon hun xxx
