Implantation is probably about 6 or 7 days post conception.
POAS is never a good plan until you think you are 11dpo. No matter how good your sticks are.

dotty good luck with the dildocamscan I hope it shows that the clomid has had some effect. You definitely deserve some good news :)

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/03/2012 14:01

Good luck dor. How are you feeling? Have you had many side effects?
Hmm norf very interesting...resist the lure of the poas just yet. Sit on those hands. Can't imagine how frustrating it must be not knowing when you ov/when the evil metal head is due. Stay strong.
Water water water. That is all.

I haven't really had any side-effects other than it made my morning temp go really high the first morning after I took it. Will be interested to see whether it is doing anything as I have felt ok on it!

Northey · 22/03/2012 14:19

Is it a full bladder scan? Nightmare.

No idea when I ovulated (if at all), bugsy, but am on CD40 something now (NB last cycle was 70something).

I just want a break from sechsing! Either because of droid or because I'm diffed! Either option is equally attractive right now.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/03/2012 14:22

bugs I have a pathetic bladder. I will be dying just after 3!
Good to know it didn't have many side effects dor. Let us know how you get on.
Is anyone else having trouble getting on to t'other place?

All went ok, I knew the girl who did it! Nothing on scan. Tenderness over appendix and also higher near gall bladder but nothing conclusive. They're going to monitor me for another 24 hours. I have pee'd but waiting for confirmation that I can eat :(

OP posts:
FriendofDorothy · 22/03/2012 17:45

Scan was fine - Nice Doctor said that there is a big follicle just ready to pop when I ovulate. He then amused my by saying 'go home and have a rampant weekend. Do you want that on a prescription?'

He gave me another prescription for clomid in case I don't get pregnant this month and told me to get day 22 bloods done to check my progesterone levels checked.

CaveMum · 22/03/2012 17:47

Sounds good dor, they just packed me off with a 4 month supply of tablets and told me to get my bloods done on Day 21 of each cycle. No other monitoring at all Hmm

FriendofDorothy · 22/03/2012 17:51

I have ti admit they have been pretty good. Mind you, it is effectively private treatment over here.

Oh, when I got home The Mister was in bed as he has been on nights and when I told him that we were on doctors orders to have sex he told me to get in bed right away. He is working tonight so it was now or never today!

KatAndKit · 22/03/2012 17:54

great news on the scan dor hope that follicle gets popping soon! Love the idea of sechs on prescription. Keep up the good work :)

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/03/2012 18:06

Nice work dor! Glad the clomid is doing it's job and the opportunity was seized Wink
Somehow I think this cycle is out the window for me....I've had a fever with a temp of around 37.5 and I think they'd look at me funny if I did my own temp each morning! Maybe my clever body will delay ovulation?

CaveMum · 22/03/2012 20:41

Arse biscuits!

Third week in a row I've had to cancel my dance class because not enough people turned up. Sad
I'm on the verge of packing it in, I've had enough.

Northey · 22/03/2012 20:48

Give us a hornpipe then, love.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/03/2012 22:04

Boo cavey that be argh-ful.
I have the hornpipe from the end of Spongebob Squarepants theme tune as my text message tone :)
I feel a bit delirious. Mmm painkillers.

eurochick · 22/03/2012 22:45

I have caught up wiv fred now. It seems I owe some congrats on a surprise diff and need to monitor my guffage in future. On holiday I was HORRENDOUSLY windy. I blame it on 6 flights in 10 days. Flying always makes me bloaty.

Northey · 23/03/2012 08:45

The real reason for KFZK's reluctance for flightsecshs is suddenly clearer.

Droid still not properly here. I'm onto a third day of pinky brown spotting now, and menkul-googling for all I'm worth.

Northey · 23/03/2012 09:00

Bollocks, that was a jinxing post if ever I made one. Blood now red and starting to get heavier. D'oh.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/03/2012 09:01

Northey I assume it usually comes full force/tidal wave? Keep us posted.
I slept better and only had extra painkillers once in the night. Managed a shower and hair wash this morning though am shattered for it! Await bloods and medical review...
That's a lot of flights euro! I'm not a keen flyer - like, I will, to get me places I want to go but I don't enjoy it.

OP posts:
Northey · 23/03/2012 09:16

In recent cycles (ie ones since ectopic), it has been one day of spotting, one day of Culloden-style gore, and two days of tailing off. This is definitely a bit different.

What are they doing with you today, faith? Is it just more monitoring, or have they got further plans for hunting down the source of the pain?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/03/2012 09:25

Intriguing northus, certainly a change from the norm then! Will you hang fire a few more days then poas if the Culloden does not appear?
Well I thought I was feeling better but I'm having spasms so I've just asked for more pain relief. They weren't going to do anything but more bloods. Bearing in mind I'm a surgical patient on a gynae ward, I won't be their first port of call. I do feel a bit like I've got a uti again now, like that burny need a pee sensation.
There's a girl across from me who also has Abdo pain and is ttc/on clomid. I'm wondering if she's a MNetter but she's not on her phone enough!

OP posts:
Northey · 23/03/2012 09:32

What's the significance of being a surgical patient on a gynae ward, matronfaith?

Yeah, will just see what turns up, blood-wise. TheOutlaw (hmm, I wonder what she would be in pirate terms) was going to post me some old ICs. If they turn up I might use one of them - it wouldn't seem such a waste as going out and buying one.

In other Blush news, I have developed a thumping crush on one of AMNH's new colleagues. It is all a bit embarrassing and schoolgirlish and leads to me giggling a lot and tidying my hair if I realise we might walk past each other. Oh God, I am such an idiot :o
