TTC - Clomid Part 3

hey job I do believe you take it all in one go and most people say the side affects are less if you take it at bedtime(this made no difference for me though

you can drink with clomid...well i did! dont beat yourself up at all 10lbs is great

dust and sparkles- its tuesday and we need sparkles!

btw stac the gamestation was for ps3 incase you wondered.

Hi everyone
Hope you're all well. Good on all of you that are losing weight - I've kind of given up as it was too stressful on top of everything else, but I did lose 10lb over the summer so perhaps I won't beat myself up too much! Af should be arriving tomorrow and then I can start my clomid. I've got to take 100mg - I know this sounds a bit daft, but do i take it in one go, or morning and evening? Or doesn't it matter?
Planning my bottle of wine for next saturday as its our 10th anniversary tomorrow, have thoroughly read the clomid leaflet and no mention of avoiding alcohol! Yay!

take care and bucketfuls of baby dust xxx

hi all sorry havent been about much had and still have family coming over left right and centre at the mo. stac have you tried gamestation? Good on you and fairy were going to be a skinny mini thread soon! I however consume practically my yearly calories over xmas (those xmas food mags should be top shelf to me). clure(dont worry i had a sneaky drinkie too) and kiwi how are we all doing? No news my end do have wk off work though woop x x x

Hi all,
Sorry I have been quiet - inspections at school & general work levels mounting!

still no af CD46! Went to dr on friday - told if nothing by CD60 then they'll induce a bleed. She said I was luck to have cd28s so far especially with PCOS. She told me to chill out & enjoy as much BD as I like.

Another bit of interesting news is that on the system the decision has been made that they will help us if I'm not preg by Jan. So I'm now gonna try to lose the weight I so need to & chill out.

Just been reading the last posts & the arguments have really opened my eyes. I've been much more explosive in my moods - especially with dh! That so answers many questions!!! Thanks girlies!

How is everyone???

Baby Dust

Great food, great fireworks, Guy Fawkes is one of those wonderful celebrations when there doesn't seem to be any of the emotional stress that comes with Christmas or New Year - if you know what I mean. Hope you all enjoyed it too.

hi millymolly I'm fine thanks, hows it going for you? Are you waiting for af too?!

stac hi, yes had a lovely evening, I caved in and had a large glass of wine but our take away was yum.

off to the fireworks now, DD says she is a bit scared of the dark, bless her, this will be her first visit to an organised display

have a good rest of the weekend all xx

hi clure how are u and how are u stac

Clure, I don't know how you do it. I'm humbled.

I had another reflexology session today, we were looking back at my cycle dates and also through her treatment findingds my reflexologist (who is also going through ivf and is very clued up) reckons i may be ovulating late. If this is the case then I will need to watch for signs next week. Its a waiting and wondering game!!
Did a 15k run today-felt brilliant. now I'm a bit tired but summoning the energy to pop round to a friend's house for a girlie night with a few of the girlies. Wine (trying to hold out on that one!!) and thai take away. yummy!!

they are fine. sorry to hear that stac the kids are fine am ok

thanks stac your words practically left me in tears. Kiwi i was a an utter pessimistic bitch on clomid. Having a good old moan on here is good for our souls i've decided clure hope your holding up ok. I hate hate waiting! hope everyone is ok dust and hugs x

Thanks, Stac. You're right, the whole thing is very frustrating. But it's so good to vent on here where I know that so many of you will understand and not question or judge.

Hope you all have lovely Fridays. x

Had a really horrible fight with dh yesterday morning, which I can only put down to Clomid, last tablet yesterday. And the fact that he was being stubborn and very annoying. He's back to drinking, but not as much as before. He refuses to believe that it impacts sperm, stupid man, despite me emailing him A LOT of stuff in the news about it - probably because I've been sending him stuff. Believes what he wants to believe.

But I was quite spiteful, and feel bad about it. We've since made up, but I really hate when I get like that.

big hug for you stac. Its rubbish isn't it?
thislittlesisterlola hug for you too, I will be testing probably around the same time as you (unless af shows up of course)

hi all xx

hey clure how you doing? It is a nightmare irregular cycles. this is first cycle off clomid so i have no idea whats going on. Stac, sorry to hear af is acoming. I wouldnt test yet it makes me too upset/angry. Will give it a week or so see what happens thanks for your help ladies have been feeling quite alone as dp is not so helpful. Hope everyone is well its nearly wkend time x x

thats ok thank you for replying hopefully some light will be shone from somewhere hopefully soon. X

thislittlesisterlola, I too have long irregular cycles and this makes it so difficult to try to fathom out what is going on! You have my sympathies. Have you done a pg test? Possible for implantation bleed, clomid has had a funny effect on my periods too (when I do get them?) could be this? Sorry can't be much more help really. Hope you ok otherwise

hi stac, kiwi, millymolly, fairy, peju how are you all? I'm now on day CD25, now beginning to anticipate that awful time of delaying doing a test (presuming my af won't show up on time) hey ho........

I can see why you would be. Sorry I can't shine any light on this. x

44 the bleed happened on day 36 have cycle length varying(good old pcos) from 33 to longest being 45 am so very confused

What day of your cycle do you think you're on?
