That's it really. I'm CD 6, having red days, planning my BD-ing & wandering if anyone else is in the same boat as me...?

Thanks, yeah let me know what they say about the gym and good luck for yours, only a few weeks to go.

charlyp · 21/09/2006 10:19

yep 28 dayer - now day 30 - think will do hpt tonight, fell great about it when i don't think about it and think i will be disappointed if is bfn but am not sure how dh is going to react if is bfp....

thanks jag - hope you get good results

Hiya

Oil and undies didn't work this month. Maybe I need to persist even though I have a whole month to wait again.

You are good going to the gym.
I manage swimming one night a week, but that's it!

All the best for your test results Jag.

Natty, what will the scan show? Can it tell if the clomid has worked? Good luck.

Charlyp, hope you get the right result tonight.
Will be thinking of you.

Natty1806 · 21/09/2006 18:07

Good Luck Carly

3cats - i think the scan will give an indication if the clomid is working and it is also to check to see if i have polystic ovaries.

Will let you know how it goes tomorrow. Fingers crossed for me. x

JAG123 · 21/09/2006 20:17

Good Luck Natty & Carlyp (smile)

JAG123 · 21/09/2006 20:18

Sorry

BBWBabeLisa · 22/09/2006 20:15

Hiya Girls, Havent had much chance to be on this week as DH has been on a duty rota thats had him working 8am til 11pm every day, so I've been on my own with DD.
We managed to BD once this week in spite of that, it was on day 18, the day before I expected to get the Ov symbol on my persona (usually I get it days 19 and 20). Well it's now day 22 and I have had no Ov symbol! I don't know whether this means I haven't ovulated this month or what. I could have sworn from my CM that I had, but who knows. Bit fed up about it really.

Natty1806 · 23/09/2006 08:57

Sorry your feeling disheartened, i have had plenty of months like that. big hug from me.

Well scan went well i have done a full post on the clomid thread but to get a long ish story short, i have slightly polystic ovaries which means i will probably go on the list for lap and dye + ovarian drilling (6 month waiting list) i have produced one 15mm follicle on my right that needs to grow to 20mm in order for me to ovulate so fingers crossed in will grow more in the next few days and they predicted ovulation around Monday and have told me to bd Sat, Mon, Wed and Fri.

I will be having a blood test on 2/10/06 to see what my progestrone level is and if it is above 16 it means i will have ovulated, if i have and am not pregnant then i just carry on with my next month of clomid if not i will go for another scan next month.

Feeling really positive now, i know it might not happen yet but at least i have a plan set out in front of me for the next six months and lots of people have said that after having ovarian drilling they became pregnant quickly after so am giving you all a big sprinkling of baby dust and positive vibes.

Hope everyone else is well.

charlyp · 25/09/2006 09:02

BFP on friday and again when i did another test to be sure on Saturday

still in shock, dh is even more shocked as had not shared my suspicions with him.

am sure will get used to the idea!!

BBWBabe, I had no o sign this month, had bd on cd15, expected o sign on cd 16 or 17 as normal, but nothing on the monitor, despite ov cramps as usual, then had red days right through til cd 29 (normal cycle is 28 days

3catstoo · 25/09/2006 10:11

Many congratulations Charlyp, that's great news.
I'm sure the shock will turn into sheer excitement in due course.

So, when will you be due? June, July ish?

All the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Natty1806 · 25/09/2006 11:18

Excellent news Charly strang about the machine saying no sign of ovulation but you obviously did.

All the best.

charlyp · 25/09/2006 12:00

1st june according to internet calculator

is wierd that got no sign, but definitely felt i was ovulating based on cramps and bad mood!!!

thats what made it more of a surprise than ever! am starting to feel less detached about it now have been to the doctor and started reading all the bumf

JAG123 · 25/09/2006 19:58

Hi Ladies

Natty - I'm so pleased that your scan has helped you to feel more positive. You seem to have a direction to go in. Hopefully that follicule will continue to grow.

BBWB - Try not to worry too much about ov. Could be something simple like perhaps your sticks have not been wet enough. I would listen to your bodies signs more than the tests.

Carlyp - Congratulations a summer baby how lovely.

Take Care All
J

BBWBabeLisa · 25/09/2006 20:32

WOW Huge Big Congrats!! Thats certainly made me feel a wee bit less despondent about having no ov symbol this month!

charlyp · 25/09/2006 22:53

BBWBabe - also see if you get red days for the rest of your cycle - i think it might do that when it does not detect an o day

fingers crossed for you

JAG123 · 27/09/2006 20:18

Hi All

Well AF arrived today again a couple of days early. Don't think its a good sign for me.

Good Luck for your blood test Monday Natty. Thats my DH 40th birthday.

Natty1806 · 28/09/2006 08:06

Sorry to hear about AF Jag, is your appoinment the 4th?

JAG123 · 28/09/2006 19:27

Thanks Natty my app is on the 5th. I'm torn between needing to know if the chemo has affected me, so i can get over it & not keep getting worked up every month to thinking well a least if i don't know there is always a chance.

How do you feel are there any signs of ov approaching? Are you still getting the hot flushes.

Natty1806 · 29/09/2006 06:59

Yeah, you just need an answer cause at least you will know then, fingers crossed everything is fine for you.

Hot flushes stopped a day or two after taking clomid, think i oved on Mon/Tues so should be due around 10th/11th/12??

Have nice weekend. x

3catstoo · 29/09/2006 09:50

Sorry to hear of AF Jag.

Glad to hear that Clomid is working for you Natty. Hope it continues to work it's magic. Good luck on Monday with your blood tests.

The build up to AF has started. I'm covered in spots on my neck and chin. Oh the joys...

DD1 is poorly today, tucked up on the sofa watching Auntie Mable. It means we have an easy day at home together.
I get so annoyed at parents sending their children into school ill. It only spreads these viruses around more. All for the sake of a day shopping or socialising! It's a real bug bare of mine. I'm probably at the other extreme and let them stay at home too much. Any sign of illness and I'm happy to have them at home with me.
It seems to be a sore head, tummy and throat this time.

Take care.

Natty1806 · 29/09/2006 10:07

sorry to hear DD is ill hope she feels better soon. x

BBWBabeLisa · 02/10/2006 11:47

How we all doing? CD 32 for me today. Cycle usually 30-32 ish. Neg PG test this morning so not hopeful, probably just a long cycle this month. L x

3catstoo · 02/10/2006 20:29

BBWB, sorry about the negative test. Have you had any AF signs yet though?

CD 26 for me. Spotting started today. I expect it will develop into full AF by the end of the week.

Ironically this month DH was prepared to have unprotected BD (not knowing where I was in my cycle) but annoying he tried to rush me and I just couldn't take the pain so I suggested the dreaded condom !! (sorry if that was TMI). This new fertility software I am using predicted (a few days later) that it had been my peak day ! What a silly whatsit I am. What are the chances of that happening again.

Well later this month when this software predicts Ov, DH is away for the week with work.

Still I haven't convinced him yet but I'm still trying.

Wishing you all lots of baby dust and lots of luck for this coming month.

Good Luck with the appts this week too.

BBWBabeLisa · 02/10/2006 21:43

Lots of cramping. Have always suffered badly during AF but been getting them much worse since the CS. Got lots of pg tests so will be testing daily til AF arrives. Have appt at the diabetic pre-conception clinic on Wednesday and if no AF by then I'm sure they'll test too.

BBWBabeLisa · 04/10/2006 12:19

AF arrived this morning. Oh well....here we go again.
