New thread - hopefully you'll be able to load it better now Ready

nomore....it's beginning to sink in now. Though because of mc, am a bit reluctant to 'graduate' just yet.

of course you can stay flosspot and congratulations again

Hello all, really just checking in and seeing if you are all ok. CD14 today but have horrible sore throat and couldn't feel less like bding. Persona seems to think I haven't ov'd yet so am going to give it a rest tonight.

DH seems unaccountably relieved by this news, apparently he hadn't been keen on getting near me and my sore throat either.

at your message sybil My DH is the one who's been poorly the last few days but we've been making up for it since yesterday (though it's day 13 and possible a little late as I think I ov today or maybe tomorrow)

Better to think maybe too late and still try then not try and think - 'grrrr really should have given it everything' as the end of the month approaches. Well, this is my motto anyway! At least if I know I had the best possible attempt at ttc I'm not thinking, 'that was my fault I wasted a month.'

And I am the worlds most impatient person. So I'd hate to think that I could have possibly been pregnant a month earlier.

I'm more in the mind of thinking that I'm just going through the motions TBH - we have another hospital appt in Feb 08 if 6 months of Clomid hasn't worked and I'm seriously thinking that we're just waiting for that appt. I'll carry on taking the Clomid and cary on BD but I can't believe it will get me pg. I'm really resigned to going back to hospital to start IVF or whatever they suggest next. I know that sounds defeatist, but I don't really believe I'll ever get pg

But, and I know how annoying it it when people do those 'I knew this women who...' stories, there are lots of people out there for whom it seems as if they will never conceive and then one day, it just happens.

Even though it must be soul destroying to be disappointed month after month, at least you are proactive. You are being seen and moving forward - clomid then IVF etc, and although its not what anyone wants to go through, at least you are giving it your all. And one day, you'll be that woman who...

My mil spent ten years trying to conceive, and then produced what would become the best DH in the world.

Having said all that, the fact that you have to wait is pure shit, and I wish with all my heart that your luck changes quickly.

God, I've just re-read that. I hope it didn't come across as patronising or annoying, I was trying for positive and supportive honest!

Not patronising at all Don't worry - I'm only offend-able when taking the Clomid (and god can I be touchy for those few days!!) I don't really feel sad about it, just resigned to the fact that we'll need more help than just the Clomid. Apparently if Clomid doesn't work in the first 3 months it's not likely to, though I've been prescribed it for 6 months...I am ov'ing so it could be said that it 'works' but have not got pg. DH sperm not brilliant either so not sure what success rate I should expect with it.

I only know one person who has taken clomid recently, but she got pregnant the fifth month. So just because the first three have passed, doesn't mean it's all over.

DH not going to work today, apparently he has a sore throat and feels crappy. Ummm an ordinary woman would let him rest but I am already wondering whether a midday ambush has any chance of success!

I second that- this is my forth cycle.....

On Clomid ...and have been trying fr two years nearly. Don't give up nomore. Don't!

Just popping in to say hello!!

Big congratulations Floss

It is a Bubblewrap Bonanza in our house at the moment!!

Might not be online for a while... will desperately try to view if I can't post! Thinking of you all

Imagine my delight - dh had decided to cooperate after I'd been away for weekend with ds - just getting interesting when ds's door opens and 'I want a wee!' plaintively from the landing (our door handle too high to reach - recommended!) - no wee forthcoming but dh asleep on my return. ds woke up again for a wee at 1am. Calpol seemed to do the trick .

I'm going to hope for better luck this evening as it would be good to have a month when there was at least some doubt that bfn would definitely arrive.

Nomore - we were resigned to starting IVF and had the appointment at which dates that cycle would have been sorted out to start and got bfp 3 days before, so don't give up!

Hi

Congratulations Floss, I still hang around because I am scared and everytime I venture onto the ante-natal thread there is more bad news, although don't get me wrong there are alot of positive stories. So I am a little bit in no mans land.

Im 10+3 still not got a scan date.

A friend of mine husband has just been diagnosed with lung cancer and they have just had to freeze some sperm. Luckily the cancer had not affected his sperm count. But she is out of her mind with worry. It makes you appreciate life.

Hope everyone else is ok. I was talking to my MIL it took her 7 years to catch with my DH. She was 30 when she had him which was old in her day. Then she went on to have 5 and would have carried on if my FIL had not sneaked off for the snip. So you have to believe that there is always hope.

Nomore I hope you feel more positive soon

Mistlethrush good luck with your BDing. My DH was forever falling asleep and we don't even have children.

Hey guys - I'm back from hols Have a load to catch up on don't I - and I'm stuffed at work today - but will try my best - hope you're all ok!!

Hello just popped in to say a big congrats to floss so good to hear.

Am trying to continue in the relaxed about ttc vein, it is working some of the time.

Have booked an appt with GP as it is now 15 months since MC. I have had tests for ov and each one is positive so thought I would see if we could be referred on.

What does Clomid help with is it only if you are not ovulatin??? Thought I'd ask the experts!!!

Hey. I'm feeling a bit cheesed off tonight. CD16 and have done loads of bding over the last few days as had the ewcm but persona has never shown me the magic little o sign so I am assuming I have not ov'd.

Now I am sitting here with the worlds longest face.

Thanks Poppy- was on Clomid because I had PCOS and very long cycles (up to 120 days- you've nno idea how many pg tests I did that cycle) After four months, my cycles came down to 28/9 days!!! Clomid helps you ovulate, regularly, which means more chances, I think. No doubt Attila will fill you in....she always senses out questions like this. There is a Clomid thread too....

Oh Gilly, thank you thank you thank you for sending me a positive thought! I have had a face like a wet weekend today, thinking it was all over already this month. DH did try to cheer me up by pointing out that I got to have lots of sex with him but I was just going 'chuh, and it wasn't even worth it was it'. He was not flattered.

Although, the lots of bd-ing isn't as important as doing the right bd-ing at exactly the right time is it? There is someone on one of the other threads who just got a BFP after having sex once this month. So you are definitely still in with a shout. God I hope we are both incredibly surprised at the end of the month.

(and everyone else too of course!)

Ummmm. DH would like me to make absolutely clear that I meant not worth it in the sense of not making a baby, as opposed to being a slight on his technique in any way. Men!!

Quite that I read it as in terms of baby-making, not any comment on his 'skills'
Am back after totally pathetic 3 days of no MN cause I'm over-thinking everything to do with ttc (or ftc) at the moment.
