thanks I think I should stop feeling alone and start feeling very happy. I live in Grand Cayman.

Egypt · 09/08/2003 10:34

CONGRATULATIONS Caydeb. Sorry you are feeling so lonely. At least you have what you always wanted and a little bit of company in your tummy! Hope you are feeling well.
Well, got the Clomid now, and just waiting for AF. Keep you posted Bunny.

hewlettsdaughter · 09/08/2003 07:28

great news caydeb! (where do you live?)

caydeb · 09/08/2003 03:24

forgot to add my cheesy grins.

caydeb · 09/08/2003 03:23

well went to see the Dr and am defiantely pregnant but very early on she scaned and want to do a repeat in 2 weeks I cries when she told me, and now have to get throught the next 2 months before can tell anyone else, am feeling a little alone as my best frine has just moved back to UK and have no family close by me

bunny2 · 06/08/2003 22:03

Egypt, you never know, it could be good news. Re Clomid, I used OPKs to see if I was ovulating. They're not as reliable an indicator as a scan but they did show a hormonse surge which I didnt have during previous cycles. Also examined mucus this month, mmmm, nice But it was just stretchy and shimmery just like my video says fertile mucus should be.

Egypt · 06/08/2003 12:00

Oh blimey, thats exactly it. when i stand up or even when i sit sometimes i feel like a pulling, squashing feeling. uncomfortable, but sometimes sharp pains, shooting pains. they were shooting all the way down the M1 whilst i was driving the other day! No, i am getting my hopes up for nothing i know. i think i've been eating too much lately anyway, and i did have a chronic upset tummy last week, which i think led to my tummy feeling tender to the touch and now this. we'll see!

dot1 · 06/08/2003 08:33

hi Egypt - you never know - I'm still getting weird pains - pulling pains if I move too quickly - get up, or turn over in bed. And cramp-like feelings. So let's hope your pains are good news!

Egypt · 06/08/2003 07:34

Hi Bunny
I seem to remember reading that you knew the clomid worked for you last month. How do you know you ov'd? Did you have a scan? Or take OPKs? Good luck with them this month. Hoping the cons will give me some when I go Friday, but I've a feeling he'll want me to have an HSG to check my tubes aren't blocked first. He mentioned this the last time i went. Waiting..........

bunny2 · 05/08/2003 22:50

Hi Egypt, good to have you back. I'm on cycle 2 of clomid and no news yet but maybe in a week or two. Good luck, hope the shooting pains are the start of something. Fingers crossed for you.

Egypt · 05/08/2003 14:17

Hi all! I'm back and have missed you all loads. CONGRATULATIONS Dot! That's excellent news. Sorry to hear that your news wasnt so good Jemma7. Hi Bunny, hows the clomid doing?
Well, finally the computer is fixed so i will be about for a bit. On day 28 of cycle now and temp has been up and down, all over the place all month. Had a positive OPK on something like day 12 but no p now. Done a preg test but BFN Not sure whats going on. apart from the fact that i hate having PCO, it messes you up completely. My cycles are often 30-35 days recently, so.....i dont know. Had prog test this month to see if I ov'd and seeing cons on friday to find results. One thing I have had for the past couple of weeks though is a shooting pain in my abdomen. Maybe I am imagining it but i've had some weird pains and pulling feelings like i've never had before. I've also felt q sick. could this be??? what sort of pains have other pg people felt? my friend is 25 weeks now and she said at the beginning she had period like pains.

dot1 · 05/08/2003 10:59

Hi Bayleaf - I was just wondering when your next attempt is - you've been quiet recently - hope everything's OK.

Jemma7 · 05/08/2003 09:50

Oh no Niknik - at least it's here and you haven't got the wondering "Am I?" Aren't I?" etc.
Bit of a shit it had to arrive on your b'day though - that's usually my luck.

niknik · 05/08/2003 09:27

Good Luck CayDeb
My thoughts are with you Quackers
I'm really peeved off, its my birthday today, therefore AF decided to pay me a visit 4 days earlier than expected. That means my luteal was only 10 days!

Jemma7 · 05/08/2003 08:59

Good luck Caydeb - Let us know how everything goes

hewlettsdaughter · 05/08/2003 07:48

ooh! good luck caydeb.

caydeb · 05/08/2003 04:39

well I did a test today and got a faint positive line so brought a better test and will repeat tomorrow, I had the appointment all booked to see the Dr on Friday for tests as it's bee a year, but looks like I might be getting rid of my persona as well so fingers crossed girls

Jemma7 · 04/08/2003 17:34

Never heard of it NikNik - Have got persona but can't start testing yet.
Going to getbd'ing tonight though - u never know, i might not even need it.

niknik · 04/08/2003 17:27

Has anybody had a dye test for tubal patency? Is it painful? I've been for my first visit to see the fertility consultant today and he is arranging it for me.

Jemma did you get your Persona yet?

scampadoodle · 04/08/2003 17:06

Has anyone a persona kit they want to flog, or did anyone start a thread about it?

Jemma7 · 04/08/2003 15:57

Well on day 10 of cycles today - haven't had a chance to use OPK yet as i ordered it too late.
Going to get on with bd'ing tonight and hope for the best - DP is going to be in for a fun few days!

Marcia · 04/08/2003 09:56

Hi Bunny2! Thank you very much for your kind reply to my question. I'll try to get in touch with Julian Pampaglioni. Best wishes for you!

niknik · 31/07/2003 17:06

I have been on tenterhooks all day as I have had my day 21 progesterone levels taken today. I work at the hospital so have just got my results and it has come back at 75. Does this seem OK I dont know if it is a bit high, as I seem to think one of the earlier threads said 30 was normal.
I am going to see the specialist on Monday for the first time, but I dont think I can wait until then to find out
Jemma I'm sorry about your planned suprise being ruined, but I'm sure it will all work out for the best.

bunny2 · 31/07/2003 14:40

Hi Quackers, cant believe it is scan time already! Let us know how it goes. I was all ready for a night of passion but ds had other ideas and spent the night in our bed, between us, sleeping like a log while we were hanging off our sides of the bed letting opportunity slip away. Tonight he goes to his own bed no matter how restless he is.

quackers · 31/07/2003 12:10
