npg I was told your follies need to be at least 18mm to be released - good luck!

Thanks ladies. Feeling slightly nervous about tomorrow.

Hello ladies,
Do you mind if I join your thread? Am on my second Chlomid cycle, and the whole TTC thing is really getting me down. Added to which friends are dropping babies like there's no tomorrow.

Really want to stay positive, as am usually such a cheery soul, but finding it hard dealing with it each month! How do you all get through the 2 week wait? x

Hi Littlefilly. I understand how you feel. Im on my first cycle of clomid. CD20 at the mo. The 2 week wait will be hard this month, I hate it. I had a mc aug and had tested early but im not testing early anymore!

Thanks for the words of support npg1.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It really did put what I'm going through massively in perspective. It sounds like you've been very brave and strong.

I'm due on Monday, so going to try and wait until then to test. Let me know how you get on. Hope the chlmomid works its magic on you!

Thanks LF, it was very hard and sometimes I still find it hard now. How long have you been trying for? x

Well ladies it looks like my 2nd round of clomid has been unsuccessful :(

Start my 3rd round next week. I just don't get why some people fall pregnany so easy and I can't even manage it with help this is really starting to get me down I feel it's never going to happen for us :(

Same here Annalou, Ive got to ring today to get something to start af, I am now on day 36. Clomid has messed up my cycle big time.

A big shout to r golden thinking if u lovely hoping your ok xxx

Hello ladies, sorry I keep popping in and out, I'm still not eligible for my exclusive clomid crew pass as I'm not taking it yet! Have my first tablets ready though but not sure when I can start. Would be great to hear what you all think on whether it's ok to start taking it for one cycle, then take a break for one cycle, then get back on it for the third - is it ok to take gaps like that? I'm just worried as I have a two week holiday in Jan and won't be able to be monitored then.

I have an 18mm follie only 1 though!

HI everyone, I pop in and out too ! That's great news npg1 !
Annalou Im waiting to start 3rd cycle, I haven't ovulated on either.
Charlotte321 Im afraid I don't know anything about taking breaks, I'm sorry, have you looked it up on the internet, or ask your doctor ?
Welcome Littlefilly
Big wave to golden!
Meluv I hope everything goes well for you, keep us posted ! You'll be back on the clomid in no time !
I've got to pick up a prescription tomorrow for something to bring on af, I can't believe I'm actually gonna take something to make this happen, they have always been the bain of my life! You watch, once I start , knowing my luck I wont stop! On the plus side might not take it until after the weekend, and maybe have some non-baby making sex for a change !

Hi ladies

Hope you are all well.

Golden - sorry you have left but i understand & you got put yourself first, i hope you are ok hun. miss you on here.Good Luck. Take care xx

Littlefilly - Welcome. The 2 week wait is so hard all you can do is keep busy & try your hardest not to think about it easy said then done i know i'm doing the 2w wait now. you have come to the right place for support. Good Luck.

Annalou - Good luck with the 3rd round. I know it does make you sick everyone around you getting pg easy or by mistake & we have take pills etc to help us & still not pg its hard ttc physical & mental just hang in there we will all get pg one day just don't know when!

Meluv - Good luck with your op monday hope everything goes great for you.

Charlotte - Hi why don't you wait till after your holiday to start taking clomid (then you can be monitored & you will be less stressed) & enjoy yourself for a month as ttc is hard hard journey. But if you really want to start taking it ask doc about breaks in cycles.

npg - Sorry to hear about mc i know its awful hun hugs. Good luck with your follie, you only need one to get pg.

mumalah - Good luck with the pills, i too would wait till after the weekend & have fun with dh. Its great to have sex with out ttc.

Well i'm on cd20 & my last cycle of clomid (been 6 hard months) got take 6months break then can go back on it if i want.
Well not good for me got a cyst which hurts & my endo is stopping me getting pg so i have got to go & have it treated again which means i will not be able ttc for 5months sadly i don't know how i'm going to cope. or maybe i won't have the treatment but if i don't i'm really not going to get pg i don't know got till jan to decide. well fingers cross i'm pg now but i'm not going to get my hopes up, well try my hardest not to, worst thing i'm getting pg symptoms like always & i'm not (i'm ignoring them its cyst & endo) I'm going to try & enjoy my self for the rest of the month after bfn next week at lease i can have a drink (mm its been so long since i had a drink gave up for ttc years ago). I'm trying to stay positive but its hard i just want a baby & every where i turn theres a baby all my friends & family are on 2,3 or 4 baby & none of them had a problem ttc most of them accidents. Had to let my moaning out to save dh ears lol

Take care ladies xx

Hopefully I'm keeping everything crossed for you for a bfp ! If i had more chance of getting pregnant with op, i think id take that option. I know it seems like everything's being delayed, but it would be worth it in the end. I'm not sure how many cycles I can have. I wish id gone years ago to get help but we just thought if it happens it happens, it didn't even enter our heads that the older we were the harder it would be!.

Meluv, you are so right... You ladies officially rock! Also Mumulah and Hopefully (what a lovely alias!), thanks for the words of welcome. Mumulah, keep me posted on how you go with the 2ww. Same for everyone else. Lots of luck and positive thoughts.

Npg, we've been trying for 11 months. Doesn't sound long compared to many who've had this for years. But we sought help early cos I've always had painful periods and had a large cyst removed when I was younger. How about you? It must be very hard indeed. Can't imagine how you must feel.

Hopefully, sounds like you've been having a terrible time. I admire your approach to BFNs. You're totally right. Treat yourself to an oversized cocktail or three. I've virtually given up drinking... Not that it's made a jot of difference! Know how you feel about babies appearing everywhere. Another friend gave birth this week. So happy for her, but feel so sad not to be able to have a baby of my own.

Btw, Is anyone else having difficulty sleeping on Chlomid? I've had a terrible night's sleep all week. Mind you, dr just doubled my thyroid meds ten days ago (I''ve got mild hypothyroid which can cause infertility)... I think that can cause insomnia. Fed up of taking tablets, and of feeling sorry for myself! Hence, must tell self to pull self together.

Wedding anniversary coming up so assuming another BFN, will promise myself a lovely date night with hubby to look forward to. Plenty of fizz! Husband has been amazing. Am so lucky to have him.

Big hugs to everyone out there. Wishing hard for you all.

Xx

Morning everyone, so quiet on here!

LF, yes I had a terrible weeks sleep when taking clomid, would wake up boiling hot!

I am on cd 21 today, had scan yesterday as you probably know, 18mm follie. Yesterday after my scan I had light spotting which stopped after couple hours, then this morning we have BD and I have more blood but its more red/ pinky and a fair amount. Im really worried. Surely it wont be my period already, normally 35+ cycle plus if I only saw the follie yesterday it cant be period?

Hopefully someone will have some advice for me.

Hopefully, fingers crossed and hugs.

Hello everyone I have just found this thread and wanted to join in with people who know how I'm feeling.....we've been ttc for the first time for 2.5 years and after a lot of procrastinating, not talking about it, bottling eveything up and getting more and more stressed about it we finally went to fertility clinic this week and have been prescribed clomid as first thing to try. My period is due tomorrow so will be starting my first course of it this week. Really hoping it works as can't afford IVF, have been told we are not entitled to any help at all on NHS as OH had children from previous relationship, even tho I haven't and that was 10 years ago.
I am happy to have found this thread as really struggling to cope with every other person I know seeming to get instantly pg as soon as they think about it. My sister is trying for her 2nd, she's 9 years younger than me and I still don't have any......pretty much all my friends have young babies and while of course I'm happy for them I feel more and more alone every day...if one more person asks me when it's going to me my turn I think I'll go crazy!
Nice to meet you all and looking forward to some happy endings

Hi Ladies. What a lot has happened since I popped up to say hello, can I join you!
Had 2 follicles, the injection thingy and another scan, only one follicle had released. Specialist was not too bothered, but I wondered if that was normal- any advice from you clomid/ttc experts?
