Clure, I waitied till the Monday on one of my blood tests, don't think it mattered.

Still nothing here, CD38...but lots of stretchy type niggles that i thought might be coming on but nothing yet.

I really should be doing some lesson planning, assessing, etc...just feel too tired after a week off!!!!

lol!

hope everyone has a good weekend!

thanks thislittlesisterlola - I wondered if it would be ok to wait and you've put my mind at rest. What do you teach? I'm a music teacher in a primary school and I also need to put in some work, think I'll do it tonight when DD in bed. Had a lovely afternoon at a country park and now getting ready for a duathlon tomorrow (thats a run bike run race) must be mad!

thislittlesisterlola · 30/10/2009 12:51

hey clure i used to wait til mon for my bloods if d21 was on a wkend. Am at work so bit naughty for being on here but i am lesson planning as well... Kind of! I cant decide if im about to come on or my cold is setting in boo! Hope everyone is enjoying friday x x

Clure · 30/10/2009 12:34

It will be CD 21 for me tomorrow and as I'm unable to get my bloods done on a Saturday I'm waiting till Monday for the progesterone day 21 test. I thought this would be ok due to my long irregular cycles!
hope the rest of you are ok x

thislittlesisterlola · 29/10/2009 21:03

hi all how we all doing woo nearly wkend! Thanks will keep you posted if i get any news. Also my periods were all over the show with clomid going from 33c to 45c. Dont worry yourself too much hopefully either af comes or gp can fix it. clure, hi hun how are things your end? Waves at stac and kiwi- we have missed you. sorry dh is in one of those moods- mine has them too. fairy and stac so sorry about your bfn. Dust x

Hi everyone

Just popping in to say hi and hope everyone is ok, 2 weeks until I can start my clomid, can't believe I got it as a free prescription (all our prescriptions are free, but I didn't expect fertility drugs to be included with that!). Have been BBT charting and thought I was smart and that my thermometer kept the temp in the memory, it was only after 3 days of exactly the same temp I smelt a rat! So know I do actually have to wake up to write it down. Self-proclaimed muppet!

Hope everyone enjoyed the sunshine today (sadly our garage gets the best sunshine of all the house - something wrong there)

Good luck to all

Thanks Clure,

Still nothing from af here but doing my best to chill out...

Hi all,

My dh seems ok with the sacrifices...but I still think he thinks that it's mostly me going through it all. Not in a bad way but he only really has 1 job to do. he doesn't drink that much really, doesn't smoke & has perfect weight.

Well I'm gonna get back to the chilling out & weiting!

baby dust to all

Clure · 28/10/2009 22:41

hiya

stac and fairy so sorry for your bfn's. Bloody frustrating!

Fairy yes would chat to GP if no af in a week, you may need provera to kick start af or it could just be your pcos or the clomid playing silly buggers with your system.

kiwi - its really hard having to make sacrifices, i think we as women prepare our bodies and not sure the blokes always clearly see their role in this. My DH doesn't drink at all but he's a mad keen cyclist and is trying his hardest to ease off on it - but he's in love with his bike!!

hello to the rest of you xxx

Fairygodmother1 · 28/10/2009 21:16

Hi all,

Another neg this morning & 1 week late. What do I do? Thinking give it till Fri & see GP. I've been really regular wih the Clomid...wish I knew what was going on!!!

Sounds promising Thislittle - fingers crossed for you! You may be our bit of good news!

Welcome Dueling - I had sore boobs last month but not had tingling side effect. I think Clomid affects us all differently I'm affraid.

KiwiKat · 28/10/2009 21:07

Hi all, haven't been on for a while, as I'm trying to forget that we're ttc. Neither of us are drinking, and dh seems to think he's doing me a huge favour by it, pouting all the while. He's just played squash and then come straight home, because he didn't want to go to the pub with his mate and not drink - what about the company?! So he's in a miserable, blaming mood, and I'm hiding in the bedroom.

Stac, hope to hear some good news from you. Hope you're all well.

DuelingFANGo · 28/10/2009 15:12

hi all.

Can someone answer a quick quetion about Clomid and boobs. Mine are throbbing a lot and I am not sure if this is just a side effect of Clomid? I am on CD 25 at the moment.

thislittlesisterlola · 28/10/2009 14:32

hi all well no news my end other than dp dreaming i was pg now nagging me to test and me feeling utterly exhausted and anything i eat does taste as good as it should- weird. At work atm hate it boo who ever said half term was a holiday! Stac dont be too disheartened the af lady has not sung yet! Fairy i am quite confident i wouldnt know if i was pg as my body likes trickery. clure- im giving it 3 months of being extra good and see if it happens. Minus xmas day- obv. Baby dust to all x x

stac14 · 28/10/2009 12:20

well ladies its a bfn so will give it a week and see if af arrives if not i will start provera then its back to the clomid xxx

OP posts:
stac14 · 28/10/2009 12:01

Hey ladies any news on the testing front? I am going to test again today but I am begining to think there is no point lol

I know what you mean about bding everyday, it can become a bit of a chore, so dp and I try to go for it when we feel like it rather than for routine, not always easy especially at oving time (since i dont know when that is we tend to be very regular for about 2 weeks lol)
fairy i didnt feel any different until I actually found out I was pg then I got as sick as a dog

hows everyone else? xxx

OP posts:
Clure · 27/10/2009 21:14

Fairy I didn't know I was pg last time round until I did the test (and I kept putting that bit off too incase it was a negative again!) You never know.... will be thinking of you tomorrow

Fairygodmother1 · 27/10/2009 18:57

Still nothing in the arrival of af...shall be testing tomorrow morning I think!

Finger crossed!!!!

Bd-ing every day is bloody knackering! And do you know what makes it worse? When a friend says you are trying too hard!!!! How the bloody hell can you???

Having never been preg before are you supposed to feel any diff?

Baby dust to all *

Clure · 26/10/2009 23:00

hi all yes good luck to stac, fairy and thislittlesisterlola with the testing. I too am on no alcohol and BD everyother day, tis knackering!!

stac14 · 26/10/2009 18:49

hey fairy I am about 9 days late at the moment, no signs of af but 2 negative tests so not holding out much hope for me to get bfp, have you tested yet? xx

OP posts:
Fairygodmother1 · 25/10/2009 21:21

Hi Stac,

How many days late is that now? I'm now 4 days & still no af!!!!

Again no symptoms as such!

Hope everyone's had a good weekend

stac14 · 25/10/2009 21:18

hey ladies
how are you all? still no af here tested again bfn will wait a few more days then phone cons see what he suggests. There was some good news on the other thread I use one of the ladies got bfp. Hope your all well xoxoxox

OP posts:
Clure · 23/10/2009 18:12

Fairy - pants about bfn, wait a few days and test again. We need some good news! Have a relaxing half term x

Fairygodmother1 · 23/10/2009 18:03

Hi all,

Clure I caved this morning & got a bfn!!!!!!

My northern friend has also told me it might be too early to test.

My face has broken out in spots!!!!

Going to use this half term to completely chill out & get some positive news (hopefully) but if af comes than I want to be chilled for next cycle to really make it happen!

Have a good weekend all!!!!

Baby dust *
p.s. Clure I think swimming would be ok!!!

Clure · 23/10/2009 14:55

stac - wine is usually my choice of comfort for a bfn or af! I know what you mean about being irregular it really throws a spanner in the works about when to test. Fingers crossed for you and Fairygodmother too.
Didn't go swimming in the end (need to do some swim training to sort out my dire technique during this summers triathlons) I did a spin session instead, was a bit tired from yesterday as did a 12k run.
Looking forward to half term and spending time with my DD who is SO tired now she's full time at school
Have a smashing weekend all x
