Congratulations! Did you have monitored Clomid? I had my first scan yesterday and have a leading follicle at 11mm cd9 (no idea if that's good or not!!) but the nurse was worried about the lining was very thin.

Guys!!!

CONGRATULATIONS summer you one time wonder!!!!! So pleased for you! I just knew you were going to get preggers quickly, I could sense it. Bloody amazing!!! Star Star Star

SLady · 29/04/2017 09:54

Welcome sunny people are dropping like flies with their BFPs so will be good to have some new recruits on the thread Wink so welcome! Don't give up hope, whether it happens first time like summer or 10th like boggle it does happen in the end :)

NeverGoOutOfStyle · 29/04/2017 10:04

Congratulations Summer! Gosh we've had SO many BFPs that I think this thread is going to be lucky!! How many are we up to now?

I've still been reading here, just lurking about. Nothing to report here, I've been giving TTC less 'space' in my mind this month, as it was stressing me out quite a bit, still waiting to start metformin. Im pretty much out this month, DP has been in hospital (he has a chronic illness so it's not too out of the ordinary for him to have a few week long hospital stays in a year) so obviously, no DTD! Glad to see so many of us making progress or getting that BFP!

YouBoggleMyMind · 29/04/2017 10:10

Yay! Congrats Summer! Happy days!

YouBoggleMyMind · 29/04/2017 10:15

Yeah I was monitored continuously through out all scans. Think it's important. 11mm follicle on cd9 is very good! I had a 14mm on cd12 this time round.

ElizabethCatherine · 29/04/2017 10:54

CONGRATULATIONS @Summer !!! 😍 So thrilled for you FlowersStarWink

ElizabethCatherine · 29/04/2017 10:56

@Sunny welcome to the thread! All here for help and support. These are a bunch of helpful ladies and all here to help each other. You are right know one understands unless you are going through it yourself so you are in the right place :)
I'm going to hopefully start clomid in 2 weeks at my first fertility private consult.

AmyC86 · 29/04/2017 12:32

Welcome sunny I'm the threads oldest member (not by age but by the fact that I have been on here since the first thread. I succeeded over boggle when she got her BFP last month. Glad to have you on board!!

Congratulations summer that's a brilliant BFP!!! Nice January baby worming it's way to you!!!!

As for me I'm CD#10. Have a scan booked in for Thursday of next week. Then I'm back at the hospital on Monday of the week after for a follow up appointment as this is the last lot of clomid I'll have.

YouBoggleMyMind · 29/04/2017 13:10

You're next Amy, you won't even need any more clomid! This thread is super lucky!

YouBoggleMyMind · 29/04/2017 13:12

Haha Amy, my bfp was only 2 weeks ago! Seems like an age already!

SummerHopin · 29/04/2017 14:08

Thank you everyone. I'm in shock. I have just done my third brand of test just to make sure and that was a nice clear cross in the window.

I cannot thank you all enough for the support you've given me. Like boggle and the others I won't be going anywhere as we are all still on a journey together and I'll be wanting to be around for all your BFPs to come.

This really is a lucky thread though, 2017 is our year ladies! Grin

HollyWollyDooDah · 29/04/2017 16:50

Congrats summer!
Very happy for you :)

what do you guys do to get rid of hair?
I've noticed mine is growing way quicker than it ever used to xx

AmyC86 · 29/04/2017 17:38

Only two weeks ago boggle God it does seem like ages ago!!!
It certainly is shaping up to be a lucky thread, there have been so many BFPs lately!!!! I've definitely got to join the pregnancy club!!!!

YouBoggleMyMind · 29/04/2017 17:55

Hehe it feels like ages even though I've still got 5 weeks until we'll get a 12 week scan. Glad for the early scan next week. I also go a call from the midwife and I've got my booking appointment for 21st may. I'll be just shy of 10 weeks. Starting to feel a little more real now!

SummerHopin · 29/04/2017 18:11

You will Amy, I am routing so much for you - for all of you.

Boggle is your early scan through your fertility clinic or the gp?

Barsons83 · 29/04/2017 18:14

Congratulations Summer, that's excellent news. So very pleased for you

YouBoggleMyMind · 29/04/2017 19:24

Hi summer, sunk in yet? How does Mrsummer feel?

Early scan is through the fertility clinic. Will you get one?

SummerHopin · 29/04/2017 19:31

Thank Barsons.
I think I will boggle, I'll call them
Next week. He was shocked bless him and pretty tearful. I hadn't told him I was testing today so just sat him on the edge of the bed and handed him the pee stick.
I couldn't believe I was finally doing it. I still can't believe it. The number of times I've gone upstairs to check on the tests is bloody ridiculous!! Hmm

FluffyEwok · 30/04/2017 13:41

congrats summer great news xx

I'm having a scan on Wednesday had some bleeding Hmm

ElizabethCatherine · 01/05/2017 10:29

I hope everyone is having a nice long weekend Star Take time to relax, breath and have a little you time.

GreenEyedGirl01 · 01/05/2017 11:09

Hi everyone

I'm on my first round of clomid and you guys were really helpful in answering some of my questions a while ago.

I just took a test and got what I think is a positive - I don't quite believe it. I took it earlier but don't think I left it long enough to develop. Just walked back into the bathroom and now there are two lines - what do you all think?

PCOS support thread
GreenEyedGirl01 · 01/05/2017 11:10

The line is very faint!

YouBoggleMyMind · 01/05/2017 11:52

That's not faint at all! Looks positive to me. Get another test and peeeeeeee again! How exciting!
