coincidentally there is an article in todays Sunday Times style magazine all about your cycle.

stupid question - since my last lot of IVF I have had slight spotting before my period or I am assuming that is what it is. Should I count My cycle from the spotting or the first day of real bleeding?

Artoo · 14/02/2006 06:55

suss, you don't count spotting as your period. Your first day of your period is the first day you bleed.

The spotting could be a sign of implantation, or of AF being on the way. I hope it's the former and not the latter.

Hugs,
Artoo.

suss · 16/02/2006 19:18

Thanks Artoo its definately the latter! Its just I need to know so that I can time my next IVF attempt - in April I think.

hi everyone, its been really quiet on here recently,

well me and dp are still trying for #2, but my diet is going well i was 13 stone 7 and now im 12 stone 5, so im getting there, my target is about 10 stone, hopefully that will help on the baby front!

we're also now waiting to hear about a part buy part rent flat that we can (just about) afford and if all goes through well we could be moving in within 6 weeks!

and still going ahead with the wedding plans which seems to be taking forever, but thanks to the diet i can nearly get into my size 12 wedding dress!

sorry to rattle on, im just so excited somehow everything seems to be moving in the right direction, dont feel as down about not being pg just yet as i now realise theres still time and as theres so much else going on bding doesnt always happen at the right time and im stressed which doesnt help, but it will happen, the same as it will for all of us!!!!

Jen1209 · 20/02/2006 13:15

Hi Jen, welcome back. Sorry about AF, but good news on the clomid.

DH and I had our follow-up appointment with the gynae yesterday. All our tests came back normal, so I too will be starting on clomid (50mg) when AF shows this time She's due any day now, I'm currently CD26 of 23-27.

Hugs,
Artoo.

Jen1209 · 22/02/2006 08:19

Artoo,

Piece of advice that seemed to work for me... take the Clomid last thing at night so any effects from it are whilst you are asleep. This meant I was only slightly stroppy up til about mid morning! Fingers crossed for you though.

majormoo · 22/02/2006 11:17

Hi Jen and Artoo-just wanted to wish you luck with the Clomid. Hope it works its magic.

JAG123 · 22/02/2006 18:32

Hi All

Haven't posted much lately. Trying to take a little step back. Haven't been checking my dates past ov time but i think AF due this weekend. No symtoms of anything so don't think it will be any good.

Jen & Artoo - Good Luck with the Clomid

Stacey - Well Done on the weight loss. I wish i could get started but i can't seem to stop eating at the moment.

I hope everyone else is well

Take Care All
J

JAG123 · 23/02/2006 14:11

Well AF arrived this morn

Artoo · 23/02/2006 20:42

Hugs JAG

And Jen, thanks for the advice about taking the clomid in the evening - I think I'll do that

Hugs,
Artoo.

trace2 · 28/02/2006 12:52

hi been told some of you tried acupunture, is that right, and did it work??

staceym11 · 01/03/2006 11:07

its all gone so quiet on here, wheres everyone gone??????

sorry havnt been on for ages, but af due next weds, not sure what dates im on as i changed my cycle length in my diary as af has been about 3/4 days late for the last 4 month.

dont feel pg but dont feel normal moody self before af so have no idea, probably reading too much into it.

still on the diet trying to will little beanies to stay in there, and still ever so stressed about moving house and getting the wedding sorted in time, so that probably aint helping oh well, not a lot i can do until we'r in our own place and i can relax a bit more!!!

hope everyones ok, sorry about af JAG, fingers crossed for you for next month!!

Artoo · 01/03/2006 12:57

I'm still around, got a u/s scan on Monday to see how the clomid is affecting me (that will be CD11).

Trace2 - I'm having acupuncture for fertility, been going for 3 months now. The acupuncturist identified a couple of imbalances in my pulses that she has worked on, and she now tells me my pulses are fine and I should get pregnant any month now. My SIL got pregnant with acupuncture after trying for 1 year. Of course, you can never be sure that acupuncture was the thing that swung it. I reckon that apart from anything else, a good relax every couple of weeks must do me good (I quite regularly fall asleep during the treatment!).

Hugs,
Artoo.

suss · 05/03/2006 20:29

I tried acupuncture too, on my tenth attempt of IVF which resulted in my DB. The acupuncturist was fab, but expensive. I would love to have it again for my next lot of IVF (We are going for April) but I have no one to leave DB with and I had quite a few appointments in the month of treatment. But I really reccomend it, find someone who specialises in fertility.

staceym11 · 06/03/2006 12:46

hi hope everyone ok, i due on weds (from my new worked out cycle! lol) and had no signs of anything, dont think its gunna be my month this month, just have a feeling. hope everyones ok.

hope your clomid is going well artoo!

Artoo · 06/03/2006 21:30

DH and I were at the hospital this morning for a mid-cycle scan to ensure I am responding to the clomid OK. And there is great news! I have a good sized follicle forming, and my endometrial lining is a good thickness already. So it looks like the clomid has done the trick, and I'll be ovulating this month.

And the other good news is that the nurse who did the scan said that if I did get pregnant I should phone her and she could arrange an early scan for me :)

I really hope this does the trick for us.

Hugs,
Artoo.

staceym11 · 07/03/2006 13:38

oh artoo thats brilliant news, i really hope the clomid works wonders for you, you seem to have been wanting this for so long!

Af due tomo (still on that newly worked out cycle) and havnt had any symptoms, except tiredness and iv been starving, but im really trying not to get my hopes up.

the move is looking good and is all set for about 3/4weeks, and wedding plans are getting there i suppose!
