Good luck popsy and sevans!! I will keep everything crossed for you x

Gonna start my clomid again tomorow so hopefully this will be my time , i cant cope with another AF on clomid! Very painfull! It will all be worth it in the end

popsy1 · 04/11/2009 21:03

Its hard not to test but I get so upset when it's a BFN that I'm jus gunna wait. Hopefully this will b the month that we both get a BFP xx

sevans · 04/11/2009 19:53

popsy Oh, ok. Yesterday my doctor mentioned to come in for a test if it's been ten days and no period. Ten days would put me at CD 35 which is next Friday. I don't know if I can wait that long without testing if AF doesn't arrive.

popsy1 · 04/11/2009 19:30

Hi sevans. This is my 4th month of clomid. Think I ov'd on CD16. But determind not to test till after CD35.
Xx

sevans · 04/11/2009 18:29

Popsy - you ovulated too? That is great! I'm on CD 26 so I am just also waiting. I believe I ovulated on CD 18 so it has been 8 days since then. Hopefully we won't have much longer to wait around before we found out if we are pregnant or not! Forgive me for forgetting, but was this your first month of Clomid?

popsy1 · 04/11/2009 17:43

Hello all, hope you are all well? How are my cycle buddies doing?

Hi psb280608 and welcome. Wow 70 + days of AF. Not much fun. Hopefully clomid will regulate you and fingers crossed for this month.

Sorry Af arrived and is so painful jojo. A heat pack and a duvet evo is called for i think. Spooks starts again tonight so happy snuggling!!
Im on CD25 and thankfully i ovulated , just have to wait and see.

Hi, i am new to this site, i have found it very helpful to hear everyone else stories with ttc, i am on my second lot of clomid now, did not ovulate on the 1st lot unfortunatly so fingers crossed will be good news when i have my blood test taken on day 21, the hardest part is my period is every 70 to 100 days!! its a nightmare.

Jojo1984b · 04/11/2009 13:20

AF here with avengance, feeling like ive done 10 rounds with mike tyson!

Hope everyone else is ok

LiLew · 04/11/2009 09:00

Woohoo! Congratulations sevans! It's such a great feeling knowing that everything's 'working'! It's just a matter of time now chick. I'm keeping everything crossed for you hun x

Sorry to hear you think AF is going to arrive Jojo1984b. It may take a couple of cycles of ovulation to get pregnant hun so don't give up hope - your time will come

How's everyone else doing? Have you seen your GP yet stac14?

Jojo1984b · 04/11/2009 08:16

Congratulations sevans!

sevans · 03/11/2009 23:33

Guess what? I ovulated! The doctor said I had a wonderful ovulation. I am so excited! My level was 33.

Jojo1984b · 03/11/2009 22:57

I know how you feel LiLew ther just isnt enough hours in the day!

Think AF is about to turn up , had some gentle period pains this evening and some spotting.

Feel gutted but in also thankfull that my cycles are regular, spot on day 27 every month. I really feel for those of you who have no idea when its coming xxxx

LiLew · 03/11/2009 10:47

That's not good stac14! I feel for you hun - it must be so frustrating. I hope your gp can help...

I'm not sure if we've BD'd enough this cycle to get pregnant. We were at it like rabbits just before and on the day I ovulated, but haven't had time since then. Why does life have to be so busy?!! xxx

stac14 · 02/11/2009 16:12

hey ladies still no af, trying to get a gp appointment for sometime this week see what I have to do next or if they are going to increase the metformin. Thats great you ov'd jojo not long till you can test hun.

Hows the rest of you? not heard from littlemiss in a while hope your ok hun.

baby dust ladies xxxx

Jojo1984b · 02/11/2009 15:47

Im on day 26 now so not long to wait. Fingers crossed for everyone!
xx

sevans · 02/11/2009 15:17

Congrats jojo on ovulating! I did my blood test today so hopefully tomorrow I will find out whether I ovulated too.

LiLew · 02/11/2009 13:14

That's great news Jojo1984b! It's that dreaded wait now, but at least you know you ovulated which is fab. I'm not getting my bloods done this cycle as I ovulated on my last cycle. I think I have ovulated though. I'm on CD19 so it feels like I've still got an eternity to wait! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you hun.

Any news on AF yet stac14? xxx

Jojo1984b · 02/11/2009 09:54

Hello everyone,

Got my blood tests back and had a progesterone level of 103! She said anything over 30 wold mean that i ovulated.

So not quite sure what 103 means? I got the impression she didnt want to get my hopes up.

So just a waiting game now.

What was everyone elses progesterone like??

Laurenl502 · 29/10/2009 20:22

hi sevans popsy1... we had been tryin for over 2 years b4 we were put on clomid after they discovered i had pcos and wasnt ovulating, we fell pregnant on our 5th cycle of clomid as i had released 3 eggs the times b4 that i was ovulating each time with 2 eggs but not fslling pregnant... i was only on 50mg clomid when i concieved and was beginning to give up hope but miricles really do happen.. really nice to meet u

Stac really glad ur keepin well, and dont b givin up hope.. ano 18 weeks has really flew in, was at the hosp 2day as they like to see me every 4 weeks to check the babies are growin ok, so all is fine wif them, go 4 my 5 mth scan in a week and a half... dont know wot they are but we r goin 4 a 3d scan about 22 weeks so im def findin out, im that fussy dont like buyin jus white or cream i want to b able to buy colours 4 wot they are..

dont know if this is any use to u ladies but the thing i did differently on my 5th cycle when i concieved was had SI the full week b4 ovulation and the followin week that i was actually ovulating, as the times b4 that my consultant had been tellin me to wait until id had my scan to c if id ovulated and how many eggs i had released so mayb the week b4 ovulation had helped for me...
mayb b worth a try for u's

good luck every1

i look forward to hearin all ur success stories very very sn

LiLew · 29/10/2009 10:49

I think I'm ovulating woohoo! I can just feel it, plus I have egg-white discharge (TMI )! We've BD'd every other day, and when I knew I was ovulating this morning we had a quickie then too lol....

Glad all your pains have gone now popsy1! I recommend reflexology. I didn't think I'd like it but it's actually really relaxing.

sevans - I think they tell you every other day in order to make the sperm stonger and more of them (or something like that anyway). I guess it makes sense...

popsy1 · 29/10/2009 00:58

Hi sevans. All back pain, cramps & discharge( sorry TMI) pretty much gone now. Think I ov mon or tues. They've told me to have my bloods done Friday, so not sure if anything will show up. Will have to wait and see i suppose.
Off for first session of reflexology tomorrow. Not sure what to expect really, but cantdo any harm I suppose!

How's everyone else?

Xxx

kimpin · 28/10/2009 19:37

We BD'd every 2nd day, and it worked for us!

sevans · 28/10/2009 17:46

Lilew - my doctor told us to BD the 23, 25, 27, and 29...so every other day. I'm not sure why they tell you that as opposed to everyday. Thinking I was superwoman, I planned on doing it everyday from the 20th - 30th but that didn't work out at all!! I think it's too much work to do it every day! I guess my plan would be to stick to every other day during the window and maybe throw in an extra day here or there. I'm going to try not to worry as much about missing yesterday. Hopefully Sunday and Monday were enough if I did indeed ovulate.

LiLew · 28/10/2009 17:19

Try not to beat yourself up too much about not doing the deed last night sevans. It's best to try not to worry about these things. Although I know that's easier said than done! It's good that you've done it the other nights - I think that's best anyway as it gives the little baby makers a chance to get there in time for ovulation!

I've heard that it's best not to baby dance every day and to do it every other day instead. Does anyone stick to this rule, or go at it like bunnies every day, or just when you're in the mood?!!
