Roll up, roll up!....Clomid cycle buddy needed please, dont want to do this on my own!

[pussycatmomma]

Hi thats it really. If there is anyone who is about to start a new cycle with clomid, can you please be my friend?
This will be my first try on clomid, I have pcos, and started af today after a horrible 48 day cycle.
But af is here, hurray! which means i can start on the magic beans tomorrow.
So if you would like chat and hand holding too, please sign in here.
Im thinking good sense of humour, sympathy, and patience will be a must

So the mail just arrived. A note from a school friend telling me she is five months pregnant. I of course disolved into tears. Pathetic?

Bad timing flosspot.
(((hugs)))) to you.

Floss- poor you. I can sympathise- I have had much of the same over the past few months. I was one of the first to get pg and then had late miscarriage and now it seems that everyone is pg. Arghh!!

PCM- hope you are feeling better. When do you expect AF? I think I am on a 27 day cycle. But awhile to go as I am on CD 13 today. At least DH has not been called away to work so we are at it!

Thanks for the thoughts, ladies. Crap day, I guess. Sun is shining now though, and feeling a lot brighter

You go with the BDing Lulu. Fingers crossed, for us all

Big smooches, flossie

pcm...where are you...any news ??? My temp dropped today cd 27 so just a matter of time....depressing really but know I will take the clomid next month too as just want a chance to fall pg so by not taking it may miss that chance!! Hope you ok

Yes, where are you PCM? Hi Minxi...

I'm on cd15 now. Now just the long wait for AF, I guess. DH is going away for 5 days, so if I haven't ovulated yet we are fresh outta luck for this month. I think I am going to lay off the clomid next month.

Hope everyone else is OK.

Yes PCM.....you appear to have gone quiet on us.....how goes it?

hello, I am here Didnt mean to spark concern....
Just have nothing to report, thats all. Am cd32 today, this is the same length as last cycle, so am really expecting af anyday. Am really undecided about what to do about continuing the clomid for next month. I think Im just feeling down about it all and didnt want to clutter up the thread with my moanings! ! Cant believe this is only my 2nd cycle, it feels like forever.
hugs to all....
At least the sun is shining today, rain be gone with you!!

Hi PCM, just knew that AF was due soon and wanted to see how you are faring. I know what you mean re clomid. I am a bit undecided, but pretty sure I will take a month off. I just thought I would stretch it out a bit and thought I would see how I felt off of it. In any case, I know it stays in your system for a bit in any case.

Hope you have a good day and that AF stays away!

Any cramps or feelings yet Pusscat??

Just the onset of very sore boobs today, has been the norm over the past couple of months prior to af. So no big hopes this month for me....
I was wondering, have any of you ever been to see a psychic/medium/fortune teller, whatever you like to call them??
I saw one a couple of years back, she came highly recommended and was astonishing in the exact stuff she knew. Saw her a few days ago, and had quite a different reading. She went on for virtually an hour about me and dh trying for a baby, me being treated for infertility, my sisters fertility problems etc etc, all with no cues from me...She said i was definately not preg this month, without a shadow of a doubt dont even try in june, (if i did fall prg then, I would miscarry ) and that my sister and i would fall prg very very close together and that my sister would be prg first. She said she thought i would be preg in July or August. You may remember that my sister has had her tubes removed and the only chance she will become prg is through ivf. She has had alot of treatment already. At the present moment they do not know when they are planning their next treatment for due to funding.
So I am feeling in a complete pickle.
I am not really a "religious" person as such, but i do have a faith in God, and now I have been to this damn woman, I feel terrible. I know I shouldnt have gone and that spiritualism in this sense is seen as wrong and "devil-led" in the eyes of the church.
Hence my head being even more of a shed than usuual
Btw, she also picked up on a family situation which was very specific and there was the stuff she was right about before. So I know she is getting some stuff right from somewhere. I just dont know what to think about this whole baby thing.
dh does not know i have been to see this lady, he doesnt agree with it.
So sorry to offload, cant really discuss it in rl with anyone.

Hi guys, Just read up on the thread and sorry to see that it has been a shite few days for you.

PCM- I have been to see one of those spiritulaist and at the time i saw her was very vulnerable and she appeared so tuned in etc. When i was feeling stronger tho and replayed the tape of it she hadnt actually been as specific as I had interpreted her. THey wait till they hit a nerve and run along that line. Please put what she said to one side. Am stil hoping that this is the month for you. Wil keep coming by and checking in on you all if thats ok xxx

lulu - good luck with 2 week wait, hope you got lucky this month xx

Minxi - keeping fingers crossed for you

Flosspot - hope you are ok xx

Good to hear from you, PCM. Sorry to hear you are in a bit of a muddle. I don't know what to say re the fortune teller. It is touch because I'm sure you want some answers and some sense of what will/ might happen and this makes you a bit vulnerable. The hardest thing is to realise we can't control things like this. I would try as best you can not to let it spin you out.

Question- when you say sore boobs do you mean sore in places or all over? I notice that before AF I now get sore lumps. I understand this is hormone-sensitive tissue flaring up.

pcm...hope you are ok...if I were you just carry on don't worry about what could be can't be,.....

Back to cd1 today and feel ok about it all... so third cycle of clomid looms....

Anyway interesting enough I saw a clairvoyant 8 years ago, she said I would be married within the year and have a child within 2, which at the time, yes I was engaged but we had no time to get married, but 6 months later without thinking about any of this stuff, my dh project was finishing so we decided to get married three months later - manic trying to organise but managed it...so that was in the year and then I feel pg on honeymoon so ds1 was born within the two years....weird as it wasn't planned to be like that at all...so don;t know if there is anything in it or not...

Awen..hope all is going well for you... Lulu how are you coping ??

Thanks for the thoughts Awen. Feeling a bit low generally but trying to stay calm as consultant appointment Wednesday.

My godfather called today from New Zealand to tell me they are expecting Number Two. I genuinely am thrilled for them but still a little sad for myself. Need to snap out of the pity thing.

PCM- told by two seperate I-see-things people that I'd have three kids, two girls and a boy, so ever hopeful. Was a lifetime ago, but your post reminded me of it. I don't know what to believe in truth, but I take hope wherever I find it...

Others- hope you are all well on this wet day. Finger crossed for good things.

hi all.....
thanks for your encouragment. I wish I could feel hopeful this month but I think seeing that woman has knocked it all out of me. I know it sounds awfully weak, and some of the comments re. vunerability, Im sure have truth in them.
Only time will tell, but oh! how bloody frustrating.......I know we are all in the same boat
awen, thanks for thinking of us, I hope you are feeling ok. How many weeks are you?
Flossie - its so hard when people announce their pregnancies isnt it? When they are on their 2nd it just seems to rub salt into the wound (even though you are happy for them at the same time of) Thinking of you hun.
lulu - sore boobs...sore all over really, painful when bumped etc, like when the dog is climbing over me to get his head out of the car window etc. sensitve nipples. But not lumpy as you mentioned. Hope af stays away for you my love.
minxi - will you be taking the clomid this cycle? I am even more confused now than i was before.
Tried to spk to dh about it, he was suprised i was even thinking of giving it a miss, he deffo wants me to continue.
xxxx hugs to all xxxx

pussycatmumma.. not wanting to give false hope but that is what my boobs are like. Also nipples more pronouced.. like porn .. 7+2 here now.

I do feel a bit of a shit posting on here cos I do know how hard it is when people annouce preg. I keep lurking and try not to post too often. Just really relaly wishing for your bfps cos you will be fantastic mummys xxx

oh bloody hell awen!!!! Sweetie, I didnt think for a moment of you when I said about people being prg, you are one of US!!!!!! Hence it is exciting, hopeful, happy and much welcome news, your situation on the clomid and a successful conception has inspired me (and im sure the others). No, what I meant was, others, you know, the friends who drop prg without a second thought, the woman at work whose 3 daughters have produced 5 beautiful babies in the past 2 years, the old school friend you bump into who tells you shes just found out again.........you know the sort of thing........am sure you have felt some of it before....
You should feel like a graduated memeber of the clomid club, you have elevated yourself to the next level, one we all aspire to!!!!
Please forgive me I did not mean to make you feel bad for posting on here. Please post lots, you are one of us.
love pcm xxxxxxxxxxxx

by the way, could be hopeful about the boobs thing, but am sure I had the same last month. Sometimes I think it is a sign of impending af too. Anyway, after that psychic woman i KNOW i am not prg this month.
Just waiting for af.
xxxxxx

pcm - dont worry hunny - really over sensitive at the moment. Some friends I have told about preg have immed started on about m/c's.. (that was today again) and I have been a shite mummy to ds7 over stupid homework. Completely misreading and being over sensitive.

ignore that freaky woman who said all that horrid stuff. If she was sooooo clever surely she would not need to earn money out of people that way and would know horse race winners etc I have dabbled in palmistry and have been weirdly accurate.. but that was more about reading the person. Never ever would I have ever dreamed of charging for it. People who charge for it are frauds imo .. they are in it for the £.

I really thought I wasnt preg and af was coming for me too hunny hence taking provera, u never can tell. I def think bding all the way through helped (with a few days off) and also sticking my legs in the air after (tmi)

flossie? minxi? Lulu? Are you all alright?
pusscat does twiddling thumbs and is still waiting for af.
Am determined not to test.
Help me not to test ladies!!
xxxx

sorry, also meant to say Awen, thanks for your nice post, so sorry you are feeling so tetchy and hormonal. Bet you are counting down the days till you have a scan, yes?
Before you actually tested bfp, did you have any signs/symptoms which you could later relate to poss prg or could do so at the time? I feel strangely symptom-less, but also dont feel like am due for af either. Just painful boobs as described prev, needing to wee alot more (but dont know if this is now just pschological and i am imagining it!!) and had very very slight spotting/bleed on day 20.
Gosh I could do with someone giving me a good shake, a) to get some sense into me and b)to start af off once and for all.
Sorry for my ramblings xx

Hi PCM- your symptoms sound hopeful to me. I know you don't want to get your hopes up, but... What CD are you on now and when did AF come last time? I remember for me I noticed my boobs sort of ached and when I took of my bra they really ached.

I am feeling a bit blue today. Loads of work stress and am feeling like AF not long around the corner. I'm so tired of trying to notice every little twinge and thinking "what if" only to be disappointed. Definitely no symptoms on this end and I am sure I would recognise them from last time (sigh).

pussycat, step away from the fortune tellers. it's a load of bollocks. A lot of it is to do with being able to read expression etc, she says something and often it's impossible to stay expressionless so by reading expressions she can tell you what she thinks you want to hear. it can even be something minor like the flick of an eyelid in response to a comment. If you've ever watched Derren brown, he uses just such techniques to say things about people, and he did a stint in the US where he proved just how easy it was to fool people into thinking you're genuine. if these people really had such a talent they wouldn't need to be telling fortunes - they'd all be on their caribian islands having won the lottery many times over. As for her telling you you shouldn't try in June because you'll miscarry, well tbh that's way way out of order and she shouldn't be telling you stuff like that anyway.

Now back to reality...

Lots of people say they're simptomless the month they actually fall pregnant, generally, pregnancy simptoms, of the morning sickness variety, don't usually show up until about 6/7 weeks, about the time a heartbeat is detected, and its actually quite rare to have full blown simptoms much earlier. those simptoms are caused by hcg, but the similar simptoms you get before af is due are caused by progesterone. Do you have a test? how late are you? it can't hurt...?

pussycat - I was waiting for AF to arrive, had achy crampy feeling down low (turns out ligaments stretching) achy boobs but not majorly. Sleeplessness the night before BFP and then I thought I have to test but really didnt think I was but for some reason thought I had better double check (actually same thing happened with DS). So i didnt 'feel pregnant'. Boobs hurt more as preg has progressed but not too bad now. Sickness died off but I have been eating more so that has helped. Have alreadyt had 2 scans (saw heartbeat) just cant wait till 12 week scan
