Many thanks

Hi Girls,

A big warm welcome to all newbies...

Sarashy- You are more than welcome on this thread..

Marcy- I hope it is good news for you

Angel- I hope this is your lucky month

I am waiting to start 100g after get results of blood test...50g did not make me ov Hopefully will get results on Tuesday...had no AF yet on day 33!

babydust and love everywhere

Hi Angel,

Bummer - im in a pickle myself - after my doc told me to lower my dose from 100mg to 50mg which i did - my 21 day bloods came back at 4.2 as opposed to 109 when i was on a 100mg. Because i haven't ovulated, i now have to go through the process of inducing my bleed which means taking tablets for five days, waiting up to seven for period to come and then i can kick start 3rd cycle. My gyne has put me back up to 100mg.

Feel so p**d off with the whole thing - i cried my eyes on last thursday when they told me, nearly had to go home from work.

hi everyone. thanks all for your support and saying i can still be part of this thread. AF is finally subsiding, so today im going to begin taking pregnacare instead of just folic acid, my husband is taking salenium, vit c & e, and from other thing ive read im going to start drinking greatfruit juice. I think i might also take up standing on my head again, even if it doesnt work it gives dh a laugh. Well its all worth ago if my gynea wont give me clomid.
I dont think im going to seek a second opinion as my consultant is both a collegue and a friend so i would feel like i was going against her.
Think i finally sorted things with my sister in law to which should hopefully bring my stress levels down.

lol my spelling is naff. greatfruit i think i just invented something new. ment grapefruit lol.

Hello everyone
sarashy Your message really made me laugh, I was wondering what the hell greatfruit juice is?! Thought I must have missed that one out of all the tips and advice I've read for getting pregnant! It's good that your being more positive about everything though which will definately help.

Hi girls,

Just got back from my first session of acupuncture and it was fine! The first hour and half was spent talking about myself and my life really from puberty. I then had just 6 needles today to start with, then back Wed for another session then the following Wed so will hopefully catch me during ovulation. Don't feel any different yet but dont suppose i will first time - it was good though and nice to talk out loud about things! Heres hopin, will keep you posted! love and luck to all those waiting kjbrookie xx

Ladies,

I am devastated, woke up to AF today and I am only on day 21?? whats happening? I am guessing this obviously means I havent ovualted as it would have been right now. So disappointed I have been crying most of today!

Hi Girls,
All this talk about acupuncture has made me curious, I think I'm gonna give it a whirl. My husband just laughed when I told him, he thinks it's a load of crap! So of course I'm defiantly doing it now. There's a place around the corner from my house and I never knew, I think they charge £35 for an hour. It dosen't seem a lot compared to all the other fertility treatment costs. The only problems is I hate needles! kjbookie was it at all painful? I'm a real wimp but we'll try anything right?!

Hi Vikks - no honestly I never felt a thing and if i am honest i was shitting myself!!!! They are sooooo tiny the needles they couldnt hurt. I live just outside Reading in Berks and I am paying £35 a session too, think thats the price it is everywhere! Although as i mentioned about my first session it should be about 2hrs with the first hour or more talking about yourself. (I only paid £35 for this session too). So I am back on Wed as it will be day 10 and then the following Wed which will be day 17 - to try and catch me over ovulation or there about at least! So go for it you REALLY dont feel anything! kjbrookie xx

Thanks kjbrookie I will do it. I should be used to needles by now. Do you need to go every week or is it just around ovulation time?

Hey ladies.. well... dont really know how i feel. Got that fab news about my foll's and had sex at the right time and i just dont feel like anything is going to come from it. Boobs startin to hurt today and feelin really down.... very period like....took a sneak test today and negative but i should not be doing anything till atleast weds..... cant help but think what am i doin wrong??? It was all there ready and waiting for me to grab!!!! Not sure if i will carry on for a couple of months if it turns out im not pregnant. Feel like a let down but two years of all this heart ache puts soooo much stress and strain on me nad DH. I think i ovulated at 14 days so AF should be about 28days which is weds so will keep you all posted. Hi to all newbies

Baby dust and love to all. Fingers crossed xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi again everyone,

Yeah I paid £35 for acupuncture too, I live in Bournemouth. Even though it didn't work first time round I think i'll give it a go again, even if the doc won't repeat the clomid it just might stimulate something! I actually love acupuncture and find it really relaxing, but that might just be me!

Just a quick question, do ovulation kits really work? Been buying clearblue and there's been a faint line next to that dark control line, that means "no surge" for the past 4 days. This morning, there was no faint line at all, and I'm on day 14. Does the faint line mean anything or does it have to be dark?

Fingers crossed for you Giselle, sore boobs may be good news?!?

Vikks - the lady i am seeing said to begin with once a week, and hope to try and catch around ovulation, after the first month then down to every 2 weeks and then monthly - so only costly to begin with really but worth every penny if its gonna work and get results! I find it really relaxing.
GemmaLuisa - I am the same with these OPK tests but have been told by others that they dont respond well to people on clomid - i still do them though as I got a load from ebay for not much money (£9 for 30 tests) so no harm trying. Last month on one day only I got a very strong line!!!! still didnt manange pg though so got everything crossed this month apart from the old legs LOL!
Does anybody take 'pregnacare' vitamins, i am just awaiting mine to arrive to begin them - so this month i am vitamin'ing' and acupuncture'ing' - god loves a trier!!!! love to all kjbrookie xx

been for my 21 days bloods today but as I got AF saturday I couldnt have them done, been told to start next round today still at 50mg and go again on 21 day.

Feel totally deflated about not ovulating

Hi girls

How is everyone feeling today?

I'm having an ok day today and I'm still not getting any severe side effects this time round (on clomid cycle 2). Just a mild headache every now and then, some funny feelings in the important areas and the hot flushes (cardie on cardie off!!). However, I have noticed extremes in my moods. I'm having lots of days were I'm unbelievably happy and chatty (which is a good side effect!) and then a one off days were i'm snappy and generally a bit miserable. I'm glad the good moods outweigh the bad which i thought might be the other way round when i read that mood swings are a side effect. But when it's a good day it really is a big high, does anyone else have these extreme changes in mood?

With regards to vitamins, I used to take Pregnacare until I discovered that Boots do their own version which is exactly the same only cheaper. The ones I'm taking at the moment is Boots Pregnancy 'Mum to Be Plus' which contain all the important nutrients such as Folic Acid but also Omega 3 and Ginger. Not all pregnancy vitamins contain Omega 3 but it's important for the development of baby's eyes and brain so you need to check the nutritional info list on the back of the box. The Ginger is good for morning sickness... I'm just hoping I get to that stage!! I'm with you kjbrookie.. fingers (not legs!!) crossed!!

Take care everyone and good luck!

Hi Jonahsgirl - Well like you and I'm glad you mentioned it my mood swings are erratic! I felt great yesterday and today teary and miserable again. I am on CD9 and my flushes are bad too! Thanks for the info on the vits its always good to ask someone and get another opinion. Lets hope the ginger leads to something. i had a sharp pain today in my left ovary didnt last long - surely this is too soon to ovulate? god what a complicated thing our body is! OH to be a man hey!!!! kjbrookie xx

Sorry to hear that skates77 only just seen your message after posting mine. Keep your chin up love that lovely little miracle could be just round the corner.
Take care hun xx

skates77 only just realised too, so dont feel down apparently the statistics say that 1 out of 10 cycles we dont ovualte, so maybe this is your 1 out of the way!!!! I dont think i did last month on round 2 to be honest as I cant remember any twinges to make me think I had. Keep your chin up and think like I am 3rd time lucky for us!!!! ((())) kjbrookie xx

Hi kjbrookie
God only knows what all these aches and pains are! I thought I was ovulating all over the place on my last cycle going off the symptoms last time. I had all sorts of thoughts about twins and triplets but still had a BFN at the end of it all. So I haven't got a clue whats going on and when, just keep hoping for the best. You're right about men though, the only thing my DP worries about his golf swing!!

Thanks for the advise ladies, I shouldnt have got my hopes up so much.

I am feeling a bit better now, dying to get home and take my first tablet!

My mood swings are eratic, i kept bursting into tears last week, was convinced I was a terrible girlfriend because I hadnt ironed DP crciket gear!!

oh and my temperature is through the roof, sweating like an animal befotre i even leave the house!
