hello everyone

Sorry I have been absent for a while!

OMG!!! Lauralou darling! CONGRATULATIONS! Hooray!!!!
I am so pleased for you. How are you feeling?

I can't believe I will be 8 weeks on Saturday.
I had a little scare on Friday - some light bleeding and thought it was all over, but thank God it has all worked out ok.

I was seen at the Early Pregnancy unit and had a scan...got to see my little bean and a little flickering heartbeat!

So for now all is well - nausea is well settled in and bloating/windy tummy is now my new best friend...urghhhh....

Cam75 - How are you holding up?

Just finished tablets for month 2 of Clomid. Month 1 didn't work; almost got excited as was 2 days late, but not to be. So, month 2 awaits.

I do feel very sickly for the few days after taking Clomid, a bit like the moring sickness type feeling. Guess this is norml due to hormones?

Princesscat · 29/08/2008 14:53

Hello

I'm new to all this but after reading 2 threads for the past 3 hours!!!! i really feel that i want to share and ask questions of advise, so if anyone has had any simular experiences, plz help!!

we've been tryin ttc for ages - after many tests - i have sup PCOS and BF has low count after vasectomy reversal! so we were given clomid to try for 3 months then they are going to refer us for IVF.

took my first course of clomid at end of July and now on cd34 and have started lightly bleeding not red but brownish (sorry TMI)along with bad cramps but should i do a pg test? and should i start taking my next lot of clomid tom? as this isnt normal bleed type for me. I feel so confused!!! Please help

numpty1972 · 29/08/2008 18:03

hi girla just got back from my mini break to yarmouth, got 2 long weeks to wait and see if the clomid has worked for the second cycle, first month got a bit exited as i was 3 days late for af, never usualy late so i was hugely dissapointed when it came!! hope it happens soon, isn't 3 years long enough to wait for some good news? anyway congrats lauralou, hope all goes well. x

lauralou1 · 30/08/2008 18:46

numpty1972 · 31/08/2008 19:39

DungunGirl · 02/09/2008 10:42

I am here lauralou

How are you doing? I am just trying to stop feeling sick....have been stuffing my face with anything I can get my hands on that may relieve the nausea...

So far lemon is good - so lemon juice/Dried lemon fruit pieces/ homemade lemon cake!

Only drawback is tummy hurts...too much citric acid...ooouuchhhh

hi cam

were are you hope your ok

cam75 · 02/09/2008 11:31

lauralou,

i am fine and you? loing the morning sickeness?
I went for another scan yesterday and i was a bit confused at what she had said but it was made clear after i went online and read about it. She took bloods yesterday and i called todya to ask her something as i was unsure but she told me that i have OVULATED!!!!!! i am happy about that as it shows that the tablets are working!!!
I can test next friday??? But i have a feeling that it is af on her way and not BFP!!! My boobs are sore but that is alwsy the case when AF is due but i will wait and see what happens this week.
Now that i have OV do i still have sex or that time has passed now???

lauralou1 · 02/09/2008 11:42

cam

is was that your cd21 tests ?

if so you could still ov on day 28 i did and thats when i got pg but you can still have sex as it carnt do any harm can it .............

hows work and your partner hope everything goes well keep me informed i am praying for you

cam75 · 02/09/2008 11:51

hold on i have checked my diary today in day 21!!!

I think i ov on friday as i was in pain, sat i we were like rabbits and i have read that dp is good, it hurts but hey got to try.
My dp is go i think he is just wanting it to be a BFP asap really, we have been 2gether 9yrs he has a son from a previous relationship who is 12 so we need this now!!!

Vix67 · 02/09/2008 12:10

Hi everyone

hope you're all well!!

princesscat sorry i have just read ur message, u have probably already sorted it now, but i have been told to class day 1 of your cycle from when you get a full red period. How are you getting on??

I am now on my second cycle of clomid and on day 8 of my cycle so getting prepared for a lot of BDing over the next couple of weeks

Good luck for this month everyone!!

xx

DungunGirl · 02/09/2008 13:04

lauralou

Hopefully the cramps are just 'growing pains'. I had them the first 2 weeks, and then they dissappeared.

As long as there is no bleeding of any sort that follows, then I am sure all is fine. Just keep an eye for safety!

Well...I don't think I am showing yet, but then I have such a flabby tummy left over from my pregnancy with DS that even if I was a bit I doubt it would be visible!

But fingers crossed all is well, 8 weeks 3 days today...Can't wait till 12 weeks...so I can see bubs on scan again, and also hopefully say goodbye to this nausea. uurrghhhh!

When is your scan? I had the early one after the slight bleeding at about 7 weeks+3.

cam75

Oh how exciting! I am keeping fingers and toes crossed for you!

I would just keep going if your DP can manage it! I mean, you know you ovulated, so best just make the most of the oppurtunity eh!

After all, once you ovulate, it does take the egg anything from a few days to a week to actually reach the end of it's journey!

Good Luck!

thanks dungungirl,

wow 8wks already!!! fantasic stuff.

I will try and give it a go no harm in trying!!! i feel like af is coming tho not sure what i should feel as the clomid gives the same feeling. Will know next week if she does not make an appearance.

HOpe you are resting???

numpty1972 · 02/09/2008 13:32

had my scan yesturday and bloods, doc said that i deffinately ovulated and released both eggs! only prob is that she said the lining of my womb looks a bit thin for pregnancy to take place, they want me to continue with clomid for the third month to see if it happens again and then they we put me on different tablets that don't thin it out, what i don't get is that if they know that it is the clomid doing it then why put me through another month of dissapointment? why not just change the tablets now? feeling a bit hopeless at mo, not sure it ever gonna happen!!! hope you all well. x

cam75 · 02/09/2008 13:58

numpty1972,
don't give up i am statring to feel fed up but i had my bloods done yesterday and i have ovulated which is major plus the linning of my womb is thickin.
I know it is hard but we have to keep on keeping on!!! we need to get BFP before the year is out!!!

numpty1972 · 02/09/2008 14:38

thanks cam, just finding it increasingly difficult to remain optimistic lately!! how bad is it if the lining of the womb is thin? can't believe this has happened espesially when i know that i did ovulate and released 2 eggs just feels like such a waste of good eggs!! fingers crossed for you that you get a bfp, really hope it happens for you. if it doesn't happen for me soon we will have to give up as dp refuses to give up smoking, and they won't give us ivf cos of it!!!

cam75 · 02/09/2008 15:30

numpty1972,

I remember reading your story.. why is you husband not giving up smoking? does he not want kids? i gave up smoking months ago as i have never really tired proper b4.
I am not sure if it is a bad thing that your linning is thin maybe it will get thicker...
I know it is hard to stay postive but expect the unexpected!!!
So have your clinic refused to give ivf if your husband does not give up?

DungunGirl · 03/09/2008 08:55

numpty

Don;t think I know your story, but surely there is something that can be done to thicken the walls of your womb?

I have a feeling that I have read about it somewhere!

Keep your chin up and keep pressing on, I know it is easy to say but all the ladies on this thread have one problem or another that has made it difficult to conceive and yet we have had a good lot of BFPs come through.

It will happen! Don't lose hope!
