[goldengirl71]

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

ooooh keep us posted slippy, I think we could all do with some good news and inspiration ! FX !

Wow slippy that's fab news lovely when is af due ??? Everything crossed for u lovely how many cycles have u had ? An what dose r u on xxx

Hiya. It's cycle one of 50mg. My cycles are really irregular but average is 33 so may have tested too early, thanks for the well wishing ;)

U can't get a false negative Hun so happy for u keep us posted x

Ment u cant get a false positive Hun not negative :0)

Oh slippy, really hope you do get your BFP. False positives are rare though! We do need some inspiration in here!!! On my second dose (progesterone sky high so prob over stimulated)...please god give me a BFP this month xxx

I feel really fed up and down at the moment. TTC for over a year, got PCOS have got 2 children from previous relationship.

I am also a childminder and having a bad day today!

Just finished taking my 3rd round of clomid, 50mg and 1 follicle on first scan. I had a MC august and all I keep thinking about is I have to be pregnant by may because im worried how I will feel (plus one of my best friends is due on the date I should have been!)

So 2 rounds of clomid have made no difference and I hate stressing about when to do it, taking temp, poas all time etc etc. Its so nice when I have a period that I know I havent got to worry for a couple of weeks. Its making me so depressed I just dont know what to do. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Hi npg1 I feel the same I had 1 round of 50mg and 2 rounds of 100mg and still not pregnant. I've been off clomid for 2 months now, I went to see a specialist at the end of jan and he's not willing to help me until I've lost 3 stone it's just shit and I hate it and its getting me so down. I have managed to get a positive on my ovulation sticks this month which is a miracle but I've got my usual period cramps so I know it's not looking good. I don't know how long I can cope this for. The weight us coming off slowly but I have a good 4 months yet before I can get back on the clomid.

Hi Anna. Thats rubbish, im sorry for you. So they want you to lose 3 stone? poor you. As I said I have been on clomid and this is my third cycle, I really thought would be pregnant by now but no and just dont think I can face another month of trying.

I have this cycle go through. I have an appointment in april to discuss further whats going to happen but i dont know whats going to happen. I dont think I fancy another 3 cycles. arghhhhhhh its so hard

I'm on my second round but really wondering whether there is a point as was already ovulating! x

Elo girls Anna long time since u been on lovely nice to see u back .... Npg I can say I feel the same as you I have one lol boy already an been trying since having him for another on cd 28 today I think of my 3rd go of clomid 50 mg I too have the tender breast at that side that I normally get when af us due so this month looks doomed again for me am sick of all the circus acts on demand just like you my follies r there one min on the scan but not big enough then gone the next few days on the second scan I am demanding they up my dose on this cycle if I don't get a BFP big hugs lovely always hear to chat to if ya need me xxx ...Anna glad to hear ya managing to loose a lil weight I am too lovely gave bread up an have lost 5lbs in week an half it's so hard am going to try that 5/2 diet google it hunny it sounds great please keep in touch I hope af don't show up an u get a BFP too big hugs x.... Sophie can't understand y u have been given clomid if u already ovulate alone lovely who prescribed u with it sounds mad to me x

Soph80 have you had a HYCOSY? have they done all the other investigations before giving you clomid? They think I was ovulating before and still prescribed clomid

Going to test again later

Annalou84 Have you tried a more extreme style of weight loss just to shed it quicker. A friend of mine did one of those milkshake diets (not slimfast) and lost stones within 3 months. I know they are not recommended by doctors, but they are out there, (albeit quite expensive). But, it might work, and then once weight is lost eat healthier and your stomach will have shrunk so you wont get as hungry as often.
-just a thought. :)

Hi I'm new to the clomid crew, on my first cycle now and about to take the 5th tablet, really hoping it works! I don't think I ovulate without it and have PCOS. Will try to read back a bit to see how everyone is doing on here.

slippy I replied to your other post about HyCoSy, just wanted to say GOOD LUCK for your testing today! Fingers crossed. Your will power is much better than mine, I'd be POAS every five mins! x

haha, thanks Alexandra I used to POAS all the time, got expensive and depressing. I've got positive thoughts for later, I feel different this time (Famous last words!)
I really hope it works out for you first time round, I think what really helped for me is being able to physically see (via scan) that things were progressing how they should, after 2 years I thought something was going to be blocked or something sinister was lurking about. Maybe you will feel the same after the scan :)

My scan to check on the follicles is this Friday (eek) day 8 - not sure if that's too early to see whether I will ovulate or not for sure? (Can they even tell that from the clomid scan?!) Maybe they'll get me back in for another scan too? OPK's have never showed positive for me so would be amazing to get a smiley face on one and be able to actually have a go at getting pregnant!

It's too early to show ovulation, it just shows the thickness of your lining (ready/or not for implantation) and whether the clomid has stimulated follicles which (correct me if I'm wrong someone) but these release the egg when they reach the right size.
I was told I had two in the right ovary that were ready to pop -or the scientific word for it, and a smaller one in my left which would fail to produce an egg at the right time. I was scanned on a thursday and she said due to the size of them I would be most fertile on the sat so get busy on the days nearest but mainly sat.

Disclaimer, I am no doctor, I also have a poor memory so some of this may be wrong but at least you get the gist :)

Thanks slippy ooh I hope my follicles are about to pop when I go for my scan!

Weirdly I have a bit of a dull pain in my stomach, quite high up and just slightly to one side? Only just finished clomid today so can't be ov pains. Has anyone else had that?!

Looking forward to hearing your POAS news slippy

it's official, :):):):):):):):) 2-3 weeks, so the test says. 26 months and the day finally comes :):) it appears that clomid works, keep calm and carry on!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! This is great news!!!!! This is such an inspiration that it could happen for the rest of us too :-)

xxxxxxxxxxxx

slippy - will you summarise everything you did this month? I need inspiring! xxx

Thanks for your support! :)
Well, all I did was avoided drinks as soon as I started the clomid. I was very relaxed, kind of thought clomid would fail for me, especially not 1st round anyway. As I said to alexandra it made me feel so much better when I saw everything was ok on the scan I relaxed. We dtd on the days we was recommended. Twice on the sat, didn't put my legs in the air ;)

oh god I can't wait to have sex and not put my legs in the air lol. Can I ask what round of clomid it was?

By the way, in answer to your question, I had a HSG and everything was ok x

WOOOOOOOOOP! Yay slippy you must be over the moon!

So did you drink at all? I've cut down a lot but am still having the odd glass or two. Also, did you talk to you DP/DH about ovulation times etc, my DH was laughing earlier when I was talking about ovulation timings, saying "I'm not a machine" (apparently Rodney in only fools and horses once said that). He was laughing but not sure if I'm putting too much pressure on by making a big thing out of the clomid. Also, I told him off for drinking too much last night and even said he might have abnormal sperm now TTC is making me crazy! My plan was to not talk to him about clomid/ovulation days etc and now I've gone and ruined that plan...backtrack!

Anyway amazing news, congrats go clomid!

It was 1st round of 50mg.
To be honest we are quite active conceivers, so dates or not we were likely to do it! But he did know, on the friday before the sat (when I was most fertile) he went out to the pub, and I was cranky about it. He had a chest infection though, so I thought our chances were slim anyway.

I was just asking him about how much I drank and we both can't remember exactly, I'm pretty sure I had a few glasses of wine but stayed away from spirits and too much drinking. He came with me to most of the appointments, so perhaps it made more sense to him. 26 months is a long time so he have tried all sorts of methods and attempting to forget about it all, temping, poas etc etc.
