ummm just wrote a long post there and not sure where it went so apologies if 2 come up!
vix I think they upped my dose because I was not ovulating properly on 50/100mg. I get one last shot at 150mg and am really nervous about it! I think that if you are ovulating regularly on 50mg they wont up it. I have pcos and haven't had regular periods for 15 years. After this they said injections but I dont know what that will entail yet. 50mg isn't too bad- the worst thing for me is the hot flushes and the tears!

Morning ladies, the sun is shining and it's my last day in the office til next Tuesday (altho I am wfh on Monday as I have my midwife appointment), so I'm in a cracking mood today

Hope everyone else is ok today?

MAF yeay for the YP-ing!!! Hoping you weren't too late.

Vix DH and I booked our holiday for November about a week before I got my BFP. I'm really excited about going away, we feel like it could be the last big holiday that we get for a couple of years (we usually go away twice plus a couple of city breaks)

Hi BSL!! Crunchy I've started gagging badly when I'm brushing my teeth, it's not nice at all, I don't like it. But I am holding out hope for you and Dawn getting BFPs very soon!!!

Right, time for a cup of decaf tea...

DawnAS · 01/10/2008 09:24

Hey all,

MAF, well done for the YPing!! Hope it works for you this time and it wasn't too late....

Saz, not liking the idea of gagging when brushing your teeth - oh dear! I haven't had a day off work since our honeymoon in April. I was supposed to be having w/c 13th October off but I've had to cancel it because work is soooo busy. So I've got the 16th and 17th off and then I'm booking a week off in November. I can't wait!!

So, still not testing, but temp has continued to rise and now on DPO13 and CD29. Boobs still sore, although not weeing quite so much, although had to reduce fluid intake before bed because it was getting ridiculous getting up so much, especially now it's starting to turn colder, not nice...

So, this will make you laugh... You know that you hear about different things being PG symptoms like, "Hmmm, that leaf just fell in front of me, could that be a symptom?" - I know a bit extreme but you get my drift.... Well, I had heard that "erotic" dreams were a symptom. Well last night, two erotic dreams one after the other!! But I will tell you about the second one because it was so bizarre and apologies in advance for the TMI!!

So, I'm on a plane and someone decides to open a window???!!! Anyway, the dream so far was sort of normal... Then we land and get taken to a massive mansion/palace type thing in China. Where I am offered a very well paid job. The job..... wait for it.... is to allow the Prince/King whatever, to "pleasure" me twice a day!! And I would get paid millions for it!!

Now is that a dream job or is that a dream job?! No actual sex, just pure pleasure...

Would never share that with friends in RL but just thought I had to tell you girls. So, do we think that's a sign - maybe linked to my frustration with my current job?!!

Thought you'd all like a laugh....

saz007 · 01/10/2008 09:38

hehehe what a dream Dawn

Linwin · 01/10/2008 09:40

Dawn you are not alone on the 2WW. I am CD36 today - my god! I haven't had any symptoms at all though so its probably another long cycle like last month.
Its probably stress delaying it after everything thats been going on.
Anyway Dawn I hope this is your month.

Vix I would definitely go anyway. I have a trip planned to Oz in november and I was going to go whether PG or not.

Vix67 · 01/10/2008 11:55

Morning girls,

hahahahahaha dawn your dream really made me laugh . . . . what a job!! I am keeping everything crossed for you that you get a BFP.

Thanks everyone for your advice on my hols, i am going to book it tonight it will give me something to look forward to!!

MAF well done for YP'ing!!

Lorelei i have been very teary too, crying all the time over the smallest things!! Haven't had hot flushes .. fingers crossed!! Only thing that's started to happen over the last few days, ( i took my last tablet yesterday ), is ive started getting slightly blurry eyes and headaches. But it says to stop immediately if you get flashing eyes, so im confused because im not sure if it's just a migraine??

Hello to everyone else!!

summerbird · 01/10/2008 12:17

hey guys got lots to catch up on so quick hellos

crunchy and dawn sounding quite interesting symptoms there, am quietly thinking of BFPs there.....

vix book your hols, i am going to Barcelona in two weeks and my GP said i will be fine

dawn i am loving your dream!!!

MAF yoghurt-pot-tastic!

i have to share this bizarre symptom, my nipples are like cannons when i take my bra off, they were so sensitive last night my DH had to very gently massage them - he tried nipping them for a laugh and i screamed!!!!!!

big summerbird waves to everyone else!

ps - sorry for rushed message as am mad busy at work

OP posts:
saz007 · 01/10/2008 12:32

Summerbird I'm exactly the same! It's so odd isnt it??

summerbird · 01/10/2008 13:48

bizarre saz !!! my mum recommends wearing a sports bra for bed to stop them sagging! i already have a cracking pair as it is!!!

OP posts:
saz007 · 01/10/2008 13:58

Mine aren't huge (C) but I think they're getting a bit bigger. Have you stopped wearing underwired bras?

I'd read in a magazine article that loads of people recommend wearing sports bras to bed

Lorelei97 · 01/10/2008 16:04

thank you vix its nice to know that someone else crying lots too - at least i feel good that im not going mad! have to say i have had a constant dull headache since i started clomid which on a few ocasions began to feel like a migraine. i didn't take any painkillers as i didn't know what they would do to the clomid so just getting by with it but its not nice- am lucky my boss is very understanding and asks if im okay etc i think you should contact your consultant if you get vision problems but i not sure if the symptoms mean thats it working or not.....

summerbird · 01/10/2008 18:36

saz am still on underwired but am off to Bravissimo this weekend to discuss what type to get, will get a couple of soft bras.

How is everyone this evening then? Dawn any sign of AF yet?

OP posts:
DawnAS · 01/10/2008 19:15

Hey All,

I have to confess that when I was PG last time, I found the underwired bras really painful (even at only 4/5 weeks PG!), so ended up buying some non-wired cheapies from Primark...

No sign of AF and really odd, but felt very very nauseous after dinner and had to go and lie down. Not like me at all!! Actually scared me because like I said before, I haven't been sick for 9 years and the thought is terrifying me... But after eating a mini-gingerbread man, I felt fine. Now I'm hungry again!!

Only thing I would say, re symptoms, is that I'm getting a lot of shooting pains very low down in my pubic bone region - really low down ... Very odd.

Looking forward to some more erotic dreams tonight too - !!

bluestarlavender · 01/10/2008 20:11

Dawn you are driving me crazy with the suspense!!!! TEST!!!!! Now!!!!!

I want to have some more BFPs on the thread! I can't wait for the bullet breasts, Summerbird!! You PG girls are cracking me up!! It's really lovely to hear about what you're going through! Esp. as it's your first time. It gives us TTC'ers a glimpse into what we are all going to go through!

Big waves and hugs and baby dust and yoghurt pots to all!!

BSL x

summerbird · 01/10/2008 21:03

dawn i echo BSL you are giving me sleepless nights! (and not in the erotic dream way ) i am desperate for you to test!

BSL bullet breasts are really quite nice in a twisted painful kind of way!

off to bed for snuggles and hopefully a bit of BD, we havent had it since the test (almost a week - DH is climbing the walls). Think i am allowed some now!!

OP posts:
DawnAS · 02/10/2008 08:02

Hey girls,

I'm here to put you out of your misery...

BFP !!!

But other than a quick hug, DH and I aren't really talking about it yet.... We want to get past the 5 week stage which is next week, then we'll know that at least we've got past one hurdle....

bluestarlavender · 02/10/2008 08:34

Ahhhhhh! Congratulations Dawn!!!!!

Sending lots of sticky thoughts your way!!!

BSL x

summerbird · 02/10/2008 09:00

daaaaawwwwwwn i am so thrilled for you, and yes you are right to stay cautious, but i am doing a secret little jig for you!

{grin]

oh and i slept in my sports bra last night - bliss!

way hey! Congrats Dawn!

DawnAS · 02/10/2008 10:33

Hey girls,

Thanks so much for all your lovely wishes.

BSL, responding to your message on the other thread. I think this is all to do with Summerbird... Just before she got her BFP, she lent me a book... I've now decided that the book has special powers and might have been sprinkled with Summer's babydust!!

Maybe Summer will allow me to send it to you when I've finished it, maybe that'll do the trick!! It's not baby-related at all, it's a novel, "East of the Sun", but I wonder if it's got magic powers... !!

Talking magic, girls, we must have a virtual halloween party!!!

xxx

summerbird · 02/10/2008 11:45

dawn get that book over to BSL forthwith! it is yours to pass to whom you wish, maybe WHSmith sprinkled some babydust into the book before i bought it!! They do say that India is very mystical so maybe the book has mystical powers!

ps - bring on the halloween party! i am off to Harrogate with my friend to go and see a 'Goth Rock' play
