and hugs to Lily and everyone else who is struggling today.

I'm going to be taking my first clomid pill tonight. Well first this time round. I'm nervous about taking it as it made me pretty emotional last time to the point I cried (as in proper heaving sobs) in front of two senior managers

I'm not really sure how to add my stats but I'm 32, TTC no.2, on cycle 12 and bfp due 21st Nov (conservative estimate based on my previous clomid cycles).

Lily I'm so very sorry to hear your news. Please, be kind to yourself and take as much time as you need. We're all here for you

nervous You asked about my bleeds on Norethisterone. They were just like the AF I'm having now (coming to the end of it now), so no discernible difference. Brown blood / discharge sounds like old blood... It doesn't sound to me like it's a real AF, as presumably the blood would be more red if it was the womb lining? Sorry that I can't be of more help. In terms of the stats, I didn't put down any cycles until I'd finally got confirmation of ovulation. So, we've been 'TTC' for 11 months, but I've only had one cycle in that time and I'm on my second now. I think the ladies doing the stats simply put 'AF AWOL' next to my name!

Boris What an absolute shitter of a day. I'm so sorry about your DB. Hope he gets better soon. How infuriating for you that you didn't come away with more answers. Like glittery said, you don't have to wait...

Sammy Good news! Sounds like there is a good explanation for your pain. FX that you pop out an egg in the next couple of weeks (cycle buddy!)

Pixa completely agree with your petition, not just for fertility treatments but for all NHS treatments. Wish you all the best with it.

Glittery Please update my stats!

Eskimoflo, 33, TTC1, cycle 2, BFP due 17th November

Ouch boris broken tooth sounds nasty!! Good news at least about dh SA, I bet he feels relieved some what knowing that he's OK after all

nomio keeping fingers crossed for you! You never know

glitttery I've tried b vits, soy is and epo, all screwed up ovulation so packed them in and just take folic acid now.

Hope af doesn't keep you waiting too long dizzym you will get a sticky bean v soon I'm sure

Another baby bomb on fb today, and plus two where friends have liked their friends scan pics

Loving your positive energy eskimo I can sense it over the web waves

Oh thanks Bean I'm not sure if it's positive energy or more like 'hysteria' at this moment in time! 2 more get ups and then it's half term, but I have a performance management folder to put together tonight and a banging headache (clomid related???) to go with it! Going to have a nana nap and then attempt to do this thing!

Oh... also Glittery I suppose that you should put down that I'm on 150mg clomid, plus Boots conception tablets.

Oh lily I'm so sorry, look after yourself, I don't have any words xx

boris 3 months will go quick, hang in there. I hope your bro is okay, what a crappy day you've had

sammy great you're getting some answers lovely x

glittery and juney I am thrilled to see you both back!! xx

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D41Fo-H5IzYuhQ_c54Xz1vv0Lx9dMunEeHvard4fkCk/edit?usp=docslist_api

I have updated those that I can. DizzyM, you are not on there anymore, but if you give me your stats, I will add them. Nervous, can I have your stats too.

Sammy, it sounds like things are progressing pretty well. FX your transfer will go ahead.

Nervous, being at the in-law's is driving me mad. I will soon be sat rocking in the corner!

8DPO & I just did an IC. BFN. I know it is early, but I just don't think it has worked this month (yet again).

Definitely too early nomio im trying hard to stop myself testing though!!

Thanks for adding me on Nomio! Bfns always suck even when you know it's too early, fingers crossed for you.

Wow busy day here today! I know I was supposed to be lurking but.....

lily I'm so sorry to hear about the bleed. Do you have any pain? Is it definitely a cp? Take care of yourself

glittery I'm all good thanks! Thanks for volunteering to take on the stats when you've only just come back! Will update with mine later.

sammy that all sounds like good news? That's great that your lining is almost there! Hope the follicle doesn't cause any issues

boris that is a shitty day. Hope dentist got you sorted. But that's good news about dh's SA though? I know you wanted some answers though. Your on to the next step now though, stay strong xx

Still trying to catch up in between keeping an eye on the oven!

pixa the blog was a great read, thanks for the link, I'll pop back & sign. I've bookmarked it so I look forward to you posts.

dizzym will keep my fx for you that it comes soon for you then. How many weeks has it been now? Hope you're doing ok.

woolly how's things with you? Hope you're well!

Thanks everyone.

DizzyN - the follicle will only cause a problem if it doesn't progress but stops any of the others from growing. Keeping everything cross! Xx

Keeping fx and tx for you sammy!

My stats:

###(Age change 36, cycle 10, bfp due 12 Nov, investigations complete (liking this, is this new?) cd21 bloods - results all in order, next step SA for DP ###

We don't currently have a column for investigations or medication, but I can add one if people like. What do you think, lovelies?

I'd like one please!

So so sorry Lily I hope you got home and are being taken care of!

What a horrible day Boris, really hope DB gets better soon and that the dentist went ok.

Great news about the scan Sammy :)

I am well thanks Dizzy, how are wedding plans coming along?

I think a column for investigations and medication would be good.... Although I have A LOT of tests to add....

I think for people like us I might just put 'all of them' Sammy!

Hi all, just wanted to let you know I got home ok and DH is being wonderful. The cramps are awful, doubling over in pain sometimes, but I hope they will pass soon. I'm planning on being in work tomorrow, but will depend how bad the pain is.

Look after yourself, Lily. I hope you feel better soon.

Nomio Glittery has done a column for the medical stuff and invstigations. She posted it, long with updated stats, earlier
