purds it's the clinical commissioning group. When they abolished pcts they set up ccgs which commission the healthcare in hospitals and in the community. It's run by boards of gps.

I know I'm terrible testing but I have so many cheapies that I googled the earliest people can ever got a BFP and started day 5. Then I can't help myself but test every other day incase my answer changes or AF arrives. Naughty!

Looking good purdey!

PurdeyBirdie · 23/02/2015 07:20

Rough, I think it's really important to get your medical notes. Knowledge is power and it would be the right thing to do to take charge, in your own mind, of what has been in terms of your treatment.

Nomio, thanks for your post last night. I've been thinking of you lots, my fellow Clomid friend. I think upping your dose to 100mg is absolutely the right thing to do. Won't you go to your GP receptionist this time and ask for a blood form to go get your day 21 done? No need to see the doc - just ask receptionist over phone to get your form ready and you'll pick it up after work sometime. I'm also intrigued to see how your progesterone behaves on 100mg as last month's post-ov temps were very low.

PurdeyBirdie · 23/02/2015 07:23

...Nomio, I should add, there is no need to make an appointment with the GP's receptionist to see a phlebotomist; you just toddle off to your local blood clinic at the hospital in your town and give them your form.

Thanks for clarifying, Mummy.

BowiesJumper · 23/02/2015 07:31

Here you are purds! Thanks x

dojo123 · 23/02/2015 07:45

purdey your chart is looking really positive in comparison to last months but I know nuffink

I've attched mine for your perusal. Been experiencing some weird stomach cramping and feel so hot when I wake up at the mo.

Hey purdey. Thanks I'll try to get on the March bus, and convince myself that starting dtd on CD 14 has a snowball's chance in hell of doing any good on a shortish cycle Confused

Thanks re mum, I can't wait for her to be pain free in a few months time.

loopylou1984 · 23/02/2015 08:11

Purdey - based on my (limited) experience of charting I'd say there's no way af is rocking up tomorrow!
Fx this is because you are preggo! How long will you wait before testing?

I've attached my chart because I want to join in the show and tell, but only 7dpo so nothing exciting to see!

scrunchiemount · 23/02/2015 08:15

only 8dpo and really want to test again even though I know I'll just get a BFN...and this is only my first month TTC. Patience is not one of my virtues!

Here is my chart, anyway....

babsbunny · 23/02/2015 08:26

Purdey I'm super excited for you Grin

mummyofonesofar · 23/02/2015 08:27

scrunchie I have no patience either. If you can hold off - i have cheap tests so don't mind wasting them - and just tell myself the result is wrong as it is too early. So it depends on whether you would rather see AF first or a string of BFNs

scrunchiemount · 23/02/2015 08:59

mummyofonesofar yeah I have the mega cheapo strip ones off Amazon so I am happy wasting them - I just get annoyed with myself :)

Just did one actually Blush and convinced myself I can see the faintest of faint lines...but it's so faint I keep losing it and I'm sure I must be imagining it. Might now have to go out and buy a first response one....

Good luck to everyone else waiting for their BFPs, I hope you all have more willpower than me!

PurdeyBirdie · 23/02/2015 09:19

Argh, Bowie! Dem's some rocky temps (but I am always excited to hear about mid-LP twangs and pinches - especially if they are different to the AF dull aches or 'pulling'). Much luck, love.

Dojo, weird stomach cramping is so often connected to simple bowel shenanigans plus it's too soon to be connected to a pregnancy so rein in the madness, missus! Grin

Sammy, that's a bonny chart, is that, but I agree that any temps before 8 or 9dpo are not to be 'squeeeee...'ed' over. So hard not to see a high temp at 7dpo and think we're pregnant Hmm

Scrunchie, oooo! Is that an implantation dip? Testing before 10dpo is just daft. Stop it Wink

Ooo, Babs! Do you think I'm in with a chance? Surely not at my age! Shock

babsbunny · 23/02/2015 09:20

Well purdey. I'm going to lurk for a while!

scrunchiemount · 23/02/2015 09:28

PurdeyBirdie Haha I know, I have so not got any willpower!!

loopylou1984 · 23/02/2015 09:35

I know Purdey, and it looks exactly the same as the last 2 cycles so def nothing to get excited about!! X

mummyofonesofar · 23/02/2015 10:03

So testing tomorrow on 11DPO may actually show something?

There's no harm in it mummy unless its bfn (whether its a false neg) and then you feel miserable!

I went back to sleep after my early rising before and ate some dream bread and now I've woke feel rather sick... Symptom!

Forgot to say earlier I woke at 3.30 and took the!p and it was 96.86 but room was freezing and I'm a mouth breather so I went back to slep til 6.30 and got 97.76 hope it doesn't mean anything!

Good Morning you 'orrible lot

Just thought i'd pop back and give you all a little update (not that you give a shit as I just gatecrashed!) but I know that I always wonder what happened to people in strange situations!

So... spotting all but stopped and when I took my temp yesterday morning it had whizzed right up and is now the highest post-ov temp I have! Have attached my chart for you to have a perv over. I have decided not to temp anymore as I figure what will be will be and I don't think that prior warning will make anything easier.

I am still feeling anxious, AF due today. I really wish I hadn't tested early and I wouldn't have done if I wasn't on that bloody Clearblue Study! I was POSITIVE that this wasn't our month, I had the exact same symptoms as always and this was the first month in a year that I didn't get my hopes up. I took the test and that put it straight in the bin! Only saw the positive when I emptied the bin and couldn't help having a look then took another to check!

As I mentioned before, I had just been to the doctors on Friday night and the wheels were set in motion for a Fertility Clinic referral. I am supposed to be having a smear test on Thursday in relation to this. Do you think I should still go ahead with everything as though the referral is happening? It is even ok to have a smear whilst preggers? I just worry that, if the worst were to happen, and they knew that I was pregaroo then I wouldn't be able to be referred. I know it sounds terribly selfish! I just don't know what to do!

Sorry for the very rambly, very 'me me me' post. I am not normally this self obsessed I promise! Please don't reply if you can't be bothered, i'll just slip away!

Similarly, if anybody would like to know anything (what I did differently this month etc) I would be happy to share!

Can you test on Wednesday?? I wouldn't have a smear when pregnant...

NorthernStep · 23/02/2015 10:39

Hi Ladies, I've just about been keeping up with the threads but I suck at commenting, sorry :/ Just to keep the stats up to date, AF arrived this morning, which was entirely expected what with the virus taking DH down at exactly the wrong time. However, it meant I could have a few drinks on Saturday night when we went out! Guess this means I'll be on the March bus! :)

ReeRee86 · 23/02/2015 10:42

Yep, good thinking juney I will test Wednesday.

I think you're right. I need to have the day 21 test before the referral too so I guess I would have about 3 weeks-ish before I would need to have that so I could always reschedule the smear to then.

KnitFastDieWarm · 23/02/2015 10:53

Morning all, sorry for radio silence over the weekend, I;ve been in deepest darkest Wales, enjoying the experience of dealing with the AF-from-hell whiel up a mountain Hmm

I'm pretty sure I had a CP this month Sad I definitely had a line, af was late, and now I'm having one of the most painful, crampy, horrible periods I've had in a long long time.

Purdey and mrsb0710, I went to a really lovely play at my friend's church on the day AF turned up and sobbed throughout the whole thing like a wet lettuce Grin sometimes the right words just come at the right time and can be very powerful.

Hairstylisttoboris · 23/02/2015 10:53

Right so I'm currently in the loo at work on knicker watch. Nothing to report.

mummy your testing routine made me laugh! Good luck for the next one!

babs I'm sorry. I might also be out next month as im travelling with work. And don't stand a chance this month unless a miracle happens. Do stick around on the buses though. We like your company :)

purdey woah! So excited for you those temps look kinda cool!!!!! Will offer up some prayers for your bfp.

sammy and juney keeping everything crossed for you too.

Hairstylisttoboris · 23/02/2015 10:54
