Woooo! eskimo! Delighted for you.

Nomio230 · 04/06/2015 17:18

Yay for Clomid! Have they given you 50mg to start off with, Eskimo?

Tentative congratulations Queen! I really hope tomorrow brings a nice strong line for you.

Pug, I have no idea what is going on with your chart, but have my fingers crossed for you.

I have been forced to temporarily halt my POAS addiction as I have run out of ICs, and don't want to waste any good tests at 9DPO! Shock

chopsface · 04/06/2015 17:33

Excellent news Eskimo! Good luck properly ttc with eggs and stuff!

Fingers crossed for a bfp tomorrow queen!

Hope everyone else is doing ok? X

TwinkleStars15 · 04/06/2015 17:44

Yay for drugs eskimo Do you feel a flutter of excitement now?

Congratulations queen How will you sleep tonight Hmm

So, went to the doctors this morning. As expected he knew nothing about fertility buy confirmed that DH has a zero sperm count and explained that the fertility clinic want him to have a blood test to check his FSH levels. The results will be in tomorrow. I've tries to do some research and it seems that this will explain whether it is a blockage or issue with his testes. Then I went back to.work after my holiday to find out that one of the girls I supervise may be pregnant, unexpectantly, and that someone else is hoping I'll go on maternity leave soon so they can have my job! Feeling very fragile Sad

Pixa · 04/06/2015 17:58

Place marking.

Tentative congratulations, Queen. Grin

Full catch up on Saturday hopefully. Holiday is going great, apart from ugly AF rearing her stupid head!

Cycle 11 for us now though!

DizzyMerry · 04/06/2015 18:03

Queen tentative congrats. I can see a faint line and hope tomorrow's is darker.

Eskimo that's great news and you can now properly start your ttc journey. I hope it's a short one.

Twinkle I hope it's just a blockage. Fx for the results tomorrow.

Nomio I don't even own any preg tests and even the boots offer couldn't sway me!

I'm cd26 and really impatient now. I'm hoping for a miracle bfp this cycle even though I'm convinced I didn't ov. Why am I doing this to myself?? Sad

Nomio230 · 04/06/2015 19:14

How long is your cycle normally, Dizzy?

Big hugs for you, Twinkle. It sounds like you are going through a really horrible, stressful time. We are here if you need to vent.

Hairstylisttoboris · 04/06/2015 19:18

eskimo sounds very exciting. Fx.

twinkle sorry you are feeling low. Hugs to you.

nomio not long to wait to pee now :)

DizzyMerry · 04/06/2015 19:31

My cycles are usually between 27 and 31 days nomio

megarobotdiscoparty · 04/06/2015 20:32

Flowers for twinkle

And air punch for eskimo! Bloody love clomid, the gorgeous beast that gave me my perfect DS and made me a fat grumpy monster.

Out for wedding anniversary... bit pissed on about 2 beers. Total lightweight! Having a great time though!

Mummyofonesofar · 04/06/2015 20:41

knickers welcome- love the name and I've added you to the stats.

nympho I love your new name! I think my DP is the only one on here who is less into dtd than me. Mine is reluctant most of the time!

eskimo big cheer for drugs! Fx they sort out your cycle and you get your bfp.

queen I can see a line!! Congratulations!!!

twinkle I hope the clinic get some answers after the bloods. Shame the GP didn't know any more than you! Sorry about the girls at work too.

Really confused with my first time using opks. Been testing morning (not fmu) and evening yesterday and today. First one (at the top) is darkest but tonight's one is darker than the middle 2. Does it matter that which ones are darker or does it not matter until one is positive? Pic attached.

Bumsnet- you would be amazed at where we stick our thermometers to help us get our BFP's
Mummyofonesofar · 04/06/2015 20:42

mega enjoy your anniversary night out! Love that you're still posting - go and have some fun!!

Also anyone who has had the arrival of AF, please let me have new stats. Sheet is here if anyone wants to check if theirs is up to date.

Rainy34 · 04/06/2015 20:43

Eskimo so pleased they gave you clomid,so hoping that bfp will be round the corner for you!!

Queen hoping you get s stronger line tomorrow, fx x

Twinkle hoping its just a blockage , sorry you are so fragile at the moment big hugs to you!!

Nomio hope you managed to get more sticks!!

Robot sounds like you are having great time, enjoy your wedding anniversary xx

DizzyNorthernBird · 04/06/2015 20:48

Errrrr what's going on here? Heard this place has had a revamp?!

hi mummy, opk's suck! I'm giving up on them next cycle! Grin

Waves at nomio and everyone else....

nightandthelight · 04/06/2015 20:56

Yay Eskimo! Hope they get working straight away :)

So sorry for AF pixa my lovely Flowers

Thinking of you twinkle!

nightandthelight · 04/06/2015 20:58

Happy anniversary robot! Stop updating MN and get some booze down yer Grin

No help with opks sadly mummy :(

HopesUpKnickersDown · 04/06/2015 21:09

Evening ladies!

Eskimo, so pleased you got your clomid, fx you get your BFP very soon!

Nomio, running out of IC's at 9DPO! Get yourself to Boots for the FRER BOGOF!!!

Twinkle fx for tomorrow's results, hope it's positive news.

Thanks for adding me to the stats Mummy Smile

9 DPO here and feeling like AF is going to arrive any minute, was hoping for a mammoth 10 day LP but it does look like it's going to happen this month. Feeling positive for cycle 4 though...if ever I'm going to get my BFP, it will surely be just before I embark on my holibobs meaning I can't drink and spend my two weeks hanging over a Greek toilet.

Thanks Nomio and DizzyM, you're right I'm not broken...God damn it I'm horny, fertile and ready to reproduce! ??

ibeka · 04/06/2015 21:14

DizzyNorthern! You're back! Grin

Queen I can definitely see a line but hope it is stronger tomorrow. x

Twinks so sorry you're in this horrible waiting game... I hope it is just a blockage. Did the doctor say anything about what could be next steps, be in a blockage or not? Did he mention infertility counselling at all?

Robot happy anniversary you lightweight!

Eskimo! Hooray for clomid! I'm so excited for you Smile. May your journey now be very short... here's to summer term BFPs for us both Wine

Nomio I must hold up my hands and admit that I pissed on sticks 8,9,10,11,12 and 13 DPO last cycle.... Those IC pushers really do have a lot to answer for. I SWEAR I am going to wait until 14dpo this time as if I think mega may have her work cut out controlling me...!

Knickers vag temping.... Are you allowed to get out of bed for that, then? I assume so if you hide it...??

Pixa go drown AF in that hot tub and gin

CD13 here. Mummy I had a similar confusing OPK tonight as it is weaker than yesterday... confused by this. Last two cycles I have had positives on day 15 and 16. Does it just vary and not matter until a positive? Anyone know? purds are you out there????

HopesUpKnickersDown · 04/06/2015 21:20

Hi Ibeka, I keep the thermometer in my bedside drawer so I literally do it before I open my eyes now. It's my guilty secret, DH is none the wiser and has yet to clock on and question why there is a beeping noise coming from under our duvet every morning Smile

eskimoflo · 04/06/2015 21:21

You guys Thank you for all the wishes.

Nomio Yes, it's 50mg to start with! Glad you've run out of sticks to pee on, for your own safety! Grin

Twinkle I really hope you get some answers tomorrow, and that something can be done for your DH Flowers

Pixa Glad you're having a good holiday. Full catch up soon please! I miss ya! Wink Sorry for AF though lovely.

Merry Thanks! Hope you're not tortured for too long and you get some answers. FX for a BFP for you Flowers

mummy Sorry, I can't help with OPKs. I've only used the clear blue ones with the smug, lying little smiley bastard.

Everyone else Sammy, Queen, chops, Boris, mega, Rainy and night (and anyone else I've missed), thanks again! I am excited, but tentatively so. I don't want to get my hopes up... Hmm

eskimoflo · 04/06/2015 21:31

Oops, and ibeka and knickers too! You posted whilst I was still typing Blush

ibeka summer term BFPs sound awesome. FX eh?! Smile

Mummyofonesofar · 04/06/2015 21:33

I also forgot to say sorry to Pixa for AF, I really was hoping you were just testing twerly!

Thanks for answering guys - I hope someone comes along soon to help us! I hope it all just varies depending on when you test. Haven't thought to keep track of testing times, just doing it morning ish and evening ish.

ibeka · 04/06/2015 21:34

FX indeed, eskimo Smile

ibeka · 04/06/2015 21:35

So, knickers, you just kinda shove it up there and wait for the beeping? Sorry to ask so many questions. Is it less affected by poor sleep than oral temping? Confused

HopesUpKnickersDown · 04/06/2015 21:45

Mummy I've just looked at your OPK's....my tests often vary as yours have on the days leading up to my positive. I do find though on the day I get my peak it looks nearly positive when I test in the morning and then when I test later, the test line is darker than the control line. It's only a true positive when the test line is as equally dark, or darker than the control line. I hope this helps.

Yes Ibeka, in she goes and then wait for the beep. Vag testing is more reliable if you snore or sleep with your mouth open as these attractive habits can throw your temps ??
