hey kiwi thanks for replying hun am getting myself very worked up. It could be have never been pg before or had many natural af's i dont know whats going on tbh. On clomid had dribs and drabs bleeding for a day started few days later however did not have these weird pains. Thank you for your thoughts. X

KiwiKat · 04/11/2009 21:05

Littlesister, is there any way that that could be an implantation bleed?

thislittlesisterlola · 04/11/2009 21:00

hi all warning- silly question ahead! Af was not even one day long left with odd pains like cramp crossed with upset tummy pains and feeling sick. Is this normal. Have not had natural af since i was 16 coughs, (perhaps a long while ago) and i dont remember much but i do remember bad cramps with heavy bleed. Now well neither but odd pains as described above. Any ideas gals? Hope all are doing ok x x

millymolly83 · 03/11/2009 23:17

hi stac no not long now cant wait. hope your af comes soon. how are u

stac14 · 02/11/2009 22:56

Aww clure hope your arms better soon hun, dp got bloods done a while ago and it was like the doc hit a nerve, he was moaning for days as men do lol

thislittle its hard to hear things like that from friends/colleagues even if its meant well. soz af is so sore, mine was really bad last time too, I feel a bit tender downstairs so maybe its on its way.

peju I did scottish slimmers a few years ago and I am going to start back on Thursday to a daytime class, also doing the wii fit but apparantly tesco is doing wii fit plus for £15 so going to invest in that too. I bet you make your goal for IVF hun you are doing so well just now.

fairy I'm with you on the no af front, I cant remember what cd I am on, just havent checked know I am about 2 weeks late, keep thinking its going to come but no sign as of yet and its so frustrating lol

Hope everyone else is well, soz for long post

hi all,
I had my day 21 progesterone bloods done today, had to wait nearly an hour at the hospital and the phlebotomist had a faulty collection bottle and she couldn't get any blood out and she was twiddling the needle round. eventually it came and now I have a REALLY sore arm, I even had to miss my bodypump class as I;m afraid to lift anything for fear my vein may pop sorry bit graphic!!
Well done all of you for keeping positive and healthy. I haven't touched a glass of wine in weeks!!

Fairygodmother1 · 02/11/2009 21:49

Hey thislittle, funny how a compliment can actually cut you like a knife! Hope you had a good day back. We had training day so back to the kids tomorrow.

Hope everyone's keeping ok. Sounds like we're all tring to get the exercise/healthy eating underway!

We all need soome good luck, as someone said to me today, "what did you do wrong in your last life...". I'm sure she was trying to be nice but that pretty much made me feel even more down in the dumps.

Still no af!!!!

Clure · 31/10/2009 14:09

peju absolutley well done on both the positive attitude and the weight loss. Wish you all the very best x

peju25 · 31/10/2009 12:19

Hi all

fingers crossed for those of you still in the game!!

I eventually got my af on cd106!! longest ever cycle!!

We have been referred on now and looks like we will be going down the IUI route - fingers crossed it dont take too long for appointment to come thru. Am losing weight in readiness and have managed to lose 11 pounds in 3 weeks! Still another 2 stone to go to get to bmi to get treatment but am determined!!

Just got to help dp give up smoking now! he dont have many but guess the few he hasis too many.

Still being positive and amazingly am ok with the fact we both have problems - one way or another we WILL be parents!

Will keep you posted and of course keep eye on thread to see some BFP's from you lot!

Baby dust by the bucket load to you!!!

Clure · 31/10/2009 11:53

hi all,
thanks for your well wishes all.

stac - i will have a little bit of planning to do but then have a pumpkin to hollow out and make pumpkin stew. DD has a cute pumpkin dress she will wear. We went to a halloween party on Thursday so tonight we will be dodging the "trick or treaters"!

thislittlesisterlola - so sorry af got you (HUG) I go into reception to do singing and music games - they are SO little!!

Enjoy weekend all

thislittlesisterlola · 31/10/2009 07:23

hi all well... Literally five ten minutes after i last posted af came- 1st natural period since before i went on the pill many moons ago. Clure and fairy kiwi and stac we'll all hold hands clure- i teach reception, music ooh i say hopefully you'll get your bfp before ivf the body works is odd ways. Stac- dp and i are going to be on the sofa watching tv tonight no one is having a party, boo! Do have 2 pumpkins hope wedding goes well. Kiwi hope your ok. Happy halloween all. Oh and yes my cold is in full swing x

stac14 · 30/10/2009 23:20

hey ladies

sorry af got you kiwikat big hugs x

so are clure fairy and thislittle all doing your lesson plans or are you going to be enjoying halloween festivities instead? Is anyone dressing up? We usually go to a halloween paty but this year we are going to dp's friends wedding tomorrow, not fancy dress though but should still be a good day.

fairy I am the same as you a few niggle, a bit of pmt but no af, its the usual though when you want it to come it takes longer, we spend our time hoping it doesnt lol

clure I'm sure monday will be fine for cd21 bloods mine weren't always on the exact day either.

baby dust to all wonder if there are any spells to help us conceive xxxx

Let's hold hands and do it together, Clure.

Clure · 30/10/2009 22:40

kiwi - I also am in such a similar situation. My DD 4 and a half and I thought I'd have another little one as she started school. my clomid cycles are slipping away and ivf is more of a reality.... and my DH is allergic to cats!

KiwiKat · 30/10/2009 22:08

Thanks for you kind thoughts. I don't know if I want to cry or just shout POX and other rude words really loudly. One step closer to IVF - I really thought we would have managed it by now. DS is 3 1/4.

Maybe I'll get a cat.

Fairygodmother1 · 30/10/2009 21:32

Big hug (passes the chocolate)...

Fingers crossed next month!

baby Dust

Clure · 30/10/2009 21:21

kiwikat - thats a total bugger, so sorry x

KiwiKat · 30/10/2009 21:12

Evening all. AF has got me - bum bum bum.
