The Clomid Crew - Part 2

[goldengirl71]

"Come on, ovaries! Let's get this party started, yeah?!"

Hi Viv and Meluv, and welcome Tilly

I went for my 21 day test today on cd22, I had a positive opk on cd 16 & 17, do you think i should ask for another one ? I think having the blood test on the wrong day is half my problem! Then again even if I did manage to ovulate I don't think we timed it very well, dp was ill (how inconvenient). Did anyone watch Baby-making ivf onn bbc 4 last night?, it was quite interesting, look out for a repeat if you missed it !
Viv Good luck with CBFM! , Id like to know how you get on, i have a persona monitor, i used last year for a couple of months, might get some more sticks and compare results with opk 's. I have bought a thermometer and it is next to my bed, but I forget every morning until its too late! I found the persona monitor the same!
Meluv FX for you and your little tribe !

Elo mumalah did you say you had 2 days with positive OPK Hun ? You may well be right with getting the timing right with your bloods Hun they say cd 21 for ovulation around cd 14 and that is for the average 28 day cycle or there text book facts they like to preach but not everyone has the average 28 day cycle I for 1 don't so yes you should ask for another blood test may be ask them to start doing both 21 & 27 just so it can't be misses them Hun x thanks for the finger crosses Hun mine r crossed too believe me there is all kinds crossed for me lol lol x

Meluv, I honestly believe you ov'd on CD16. How dare you go for a walk on the seafront? I've been sat here waiting like a fucking lemon for your reply. My poor DP had to forego his blowjob because I said 'No! That there Meluv is going to get back to me any minute now with her answer and I can't be helping her out with your knob stuck in my gob now, can I?' So now my DP has had to cart his poor heavy balls to bed in a wheelbarrow and all because selfish Meluv decided to fuck off down Blackpool prom!

Mumalah, if your first positive OPK appeared on CD 16 you will have ovulated 24-36 hours later (CD17 at the earliest, then). This would mean your 'day 21' test should be done on CD24. I cannot be sure whether your test today will give you skewed results. This month my 'day 21' test had to be done a day later becasue it fell on a Sunday but the result was still very good. I don't see how two days out would make much difference to a prog score.

I watched the BBC4 documentary and thought the boss fella was a complete patronising bell-end. I also felt like strangling the college-leaver embryologists who were giggling all the way through like they were working on the tills at Aldi. You're messing with women's eggs, girls! Get back to fucking work!

Mumalah, why not stick your thermometer to your forehead with superglue so you can't forget to take your temperature? Or you could keep it in your fanny overnight (that's what I do with my car keys)

Pwaaahahahahaha V I've just read this now at 6:45 an never laughed so hard first thing of a morning luv I could not breath with laughter oh u shud defo do stand up what a great comeadian u wud be your DP must av balls like an elephant to need a wheelbarrow an his danglie bit must be like a trunk oh I do feel for u V if he has grapes an a banana like that ha ha ha ... On to the walk if I walked to Blackpool prom I'd still be waking now luv ha ha my seafront walk took me along new Brighton water front near Birkenhead Hun .... Oh V u keep me going & sain in this journey u realy do & were u told mumalah to keep her thermometer up er fanny were u keep ya car keys pwaaahahahahaha oh girl u sure r a great one we will defo av to meet up an ho go for a munch sometime luv don't care how far apart we r we will do it Hun ... I to hope I've ov on cd 16 not going to work myself up Hun because the let down when it comes is a killer an heartbreaking I want the clinic to give me back my last two months because first was the cyst & they shud of scanned me b4 I started clomid an this one they told me not to bedrock so they av ruined 2 cycles an I had to pay for this treatment xxx

Ha ha Viv I may just do that ! (I have actually read that you get a more precise reading if taken anally, rather than oraly!) I actually remembered this morn! 38.4 on day 23 , does that sound normal ?
Meluv How nice to walk along seafront, I live about 2 hour drive from the east coast , I would love to live by the sea.
Thank you for advise , if results come back low as usual I will ask about having them done later. If it comes back low I think they are going to do the dye test , and prob have to miss a cycle . But i have gone back to slimming world so that month will give me a chance to shed a few pounds, before i restart.
Stand up or write a book Viv, youd be rich and famous overnight!

Mumalah V is so funny she keeps me going an sain lol I don't do my temps an don't no a lot about it realy Hun am learning more an more as I go along its such a complicated cycle and a real hit or miss thing I think all we can do is keep in trying am be hear for each other Hun an hope one day one by one r dreams cum true ... I am on a strict diet too am a lot over weight and I feel so uncomfortable in myself us girls have such a hard life Hun u enjoyed my seafront walk so much it's part of my exercise plans have a nice day an I hope ya results cum back with fab news xxx V I hope u sorted his watermelons out luv ha ha

Meluv yes she definitely lifts my spirits ! We have to be able to laugh or we'd cry through each cycle ! ive just checked my bmi and its 30.8 ! I did get it down to 29 in October, so really need to make some changes ! I find it easier in the summer to exercise, it gets dark so quick in the winter! Roll on the summer evening walks ! (hopingiwillbewaddling) Sorry to ask , but why do you have to pay for your treatment?
Right i suppose i should drag myself off to work, really in a cant be arsed mood ! Have a good day all !

cant seem to strike through sorry ! Looks a bit odd now !

Hi i have just started my first cycle of clomid after trying for 2 years and finally diagnosed with PCOS. i was wondering if there is any advice anyone could give me about what to expect
thanks xx

Mumalah u have to pay for treatment as I already have one lovely son age 9 Hun which is right for me to av to pay I think but I don't think it's right when the man your with has children from previous relationships and the girl don't have any I think that's dam wrong ps I hope we are all waddling sometime this year .... Welcome sarahb first let me say u have joined a great group if girls hear Hun who r always hear for each other .. I don't no a lot about pcos Hun am sorry I'm on my second cycle of 50mg clomid my prob is I don't ovulate every month I have not had to many side effects from clomid only the odd headache but u do take mine if a night I read that's best as u sleep through them then .. This is such a hard an frustrating journey Hun r u being scanned an having your bloods done what dose r u on an what cd r u on now Hun xxx

hi Meluv, i have been started on 100g as i can go as long as 17 weeks without a period. im on cd 4 at the moment after an induced bleed. iv have got my first scan booked for cd 12 but i havnt been told anything about having my bloods done.
i also dont see why you have to pay even if you do have a child as i have a 5year old, which i concived naturally, and i don't have too
thanks for your reply xx

Fertility is a postcode lottery lovely it's all down to we're u live good luck to ya if u don't have to pay Hun am not a bitter person am happy to see anyone get on in life ... When you go for your scan ask them can you have cd 21 & 27 bloods done to check if u have ovulated that way they shud not miss ovulation weather it's early or late it's better for you gives you more knowlage Hun what cd have you been told to take ya tabs from mine was 2 to 6 good luck hunny we r all hear for each other x

Good morning !
Where has everyone gone lately ?
Meluv This postcode thing is absurd ! Totally unfair ! But like you I would be paying too, not that im well off !, but i would find it somewhere !
Sarahb Welcome , good luck in your cycle!
Today is cd24, hoping to hear about progesterone results , if they dont contact me today, im going to ring tomorrow for them (I cant wait all weekend, far too impatient!) However, im trying not to get my hopes up as my results on last two cycles have been low, i would of thought they would give me something to increase my progesterone. However i was given northisterone to induce period before this cycle, so maybe the progesterone in that has given my body a little boost! Fx anyway!.
I might call them later, put myself out of the waiting !
Have a good day everyone.

Mumalah postcode fertility is just what it is Hun am not well off either in fact I had to pawn all my gold to pay for my treatment but that's the way it goes good luck to the peeps that don't have to pay though I say luv to c anyone get on in this life me Hun .... Did u find out your results Hun I hope it is good news if u did please let us no ... As for me am just waiting am cd 20 today am my cm is thick and very creamy looking is this right ? Cum in R V help me out but worried about u not heard off u for a whole day now X

Thank you mumalah,

Hi meluv, I'm taking them days 2-6 aswel,
I'm starting to think they have started me off on a too high dose as I'm getting dreadful headaches, blurred vision and loads if abdo pain, has anyone else had these side effects?

Mumalah! 38.4! I hope that temperature was from up your chocolate starfish otherwise I think you might be quite ill

Meluv, do you really live in Birkenhead? Are you a scouser?! If so, you're not terribly far from me in East Lancs (the Rossendale Valley) otherwise known as the bell-end of Lancashire Good luck with your blood test tomorrow, sweetheart! x

Hello, Sarah, and welcome Can you tell us more about yourself: age/prison record etc? I'm sorry you're having side effects. I've just finished three (unsuccessful ) rounds of 50mg Clomid (the Clomid worked beautifully, I just didn't get fucking pregnant). Are your symptoms unbearable? I had none, except for the odd hot flush in the evenings. If the side-effects are bearable and you are able to carry out your normal daily activities I wouldn't worry. Blurred vision is not good. I would report that to the clinic pronto.

Mumalah, Clomid alone increased my progesterone. Pre-Clomid it was 18.5 and my latest score was 119.4!!

Meluv, absolutely demand some free treatment due to their ignorance about how cycles work. Be bold: if you don't ask...you don't get x

I'm CD4 and basically can not be fucking arsed with this bastard ttc journey any longer. I'm thinking of buying a goldfish instead.

Oh, and I've got a fuck-off 12" pizza and chips arriving any minute from my fave takeaway. So...fuck you, fertility diet!!

Hi,
No prison record haha!
I'm 23 been married nearly 2 years and been ttc for just over 2 years.
We have got a 5 year old little boy.
The side effects are bearable most of the time it's mainly the headache that bothers me, the blurred vision comes and goes so isn't too bad either but if its still there tomorrow I will be getting it checked out

I'm also forgetting the fertility diet an having pizza for tea

Elo girls what a cold night it's thick with fog by me real bad ... Yes V I realy do live in birkenvagas I adore the whole not we realy don't live that far apart Hun do we so we can meat up for eats sometime enjoy your pizza gorge and don't u worry I always ask cause your motto is so right don't ask don't get am going to av me bloods tomorrow an ring next week for results an also to get it confirmed am getting my two months cycle back R V is my cm is thick & white is this right if they think I ov on cd 15/16 am cd 20 today luv an what days do u take ya clomid on xxx Sarah if your blurred vision is still there please get it checked luv ... Big waves to mumalah x

Hello everyone ! Thanks Viv Just spat my tea out, and made a mess !
38.6 this morn , whats normal? Your pizza sounds lovely, i put on 3lb this week at sw, think i'm doing it backwards ! Need to be strict this week !
Meluv I am experiencing the same in the cm department! I couldn't understand why, I thought your supposed to dry up after ovulation until after period ? This month I seem to have had it in abundance, not even opened the preeseed !
Sarahb I am on 3rd cycle of clomid, and first one I had hot flushes through the night, and the last two days I felt weird, like id had too much to drink. The next two cycles just hot flushes.
I haven't had results yet gonna ring tomorrow and find out. got a huge pile of ironing sittin here, not even mine- i get paid to do it so cant get out of it, have a good evening!
i will read posts when im on a break

Mumalah, I would rather eat the contents of a baby's nappy that do someone else's ironing (paid or not!) So....from what orifice are you taking your temp each morning, Mumalah? Only then can I tell you what's 'normal'!

Let me tell you about my cervical mucus: for the past couple of months I swear I could have wallpapered with the thick, creamy gunk splodged in my knickers during the 2ww. I could've grouted tiles with the fucking stuff. Still no pregnancy I honestly believe the effects of Clomid on our oestrogen and progesterone levels means our knickers will never be quite the same.

Right...I'm off to scream at Chas from Emmerdale to get rid of that fucking stupid fringe!!!!!

Uh-oh! Looks like Katie the cripple's going to be shagging Andy...

Oh R V that made made me howl about your cm an hanging wallpaper an grouting tiles I fucken luv it was going to describe mine like icecream but thought it wud of put peeps off it for life lol lol .... I am quite dry I have to do the finger puppet to see what's there lol lol newbies just sitting back an reading r thread must be horrified pwaaahahahahaha don't be girls we have got to put some humour in on this head wrecking journey otherwise we wud not get through .... I have a friend on clomid an she been caught three times but they have all ended in miscarriage it's heartbreaking I read somewhere there is something you can take to thicken ya womb lining but can't remember what it is can have any if u girls got any ideas of what it is .... Big hugs all have a lovely day am off for bloods today if they will so em because I forgot to book in

An not symtom spotting am not am not am not grrrrr hate this wait .... Peeing loads don't no y I think it's anything as its that early nothing wud make a difference to my body this soon grrrr stop it shell stop it shell
