Looking for others who took clomid & hcg. I'm currently 4dpo & could really do with some sucess stories or anyone in a similar boat to me, to help me stay positive!

Hi All, had my 1st U/S yesterday 7 weeks. No heart beat or if there was we couldn't get a good pic of it. There was something in the way. Dr kept calling it an artifact. She said it could be a growth or a cyst or a sac thats become dislodged. As far as she could tell there was only 1 sac. It did measure 7 weeks so she isn't worried that we didn't see a H/B. Plus i have had such horrible morning sickness that i am pretty sure things are ok in there. I will go back on Tuesday for a rescan just to make sure. I think after that i will be much more relaxed!!
Talk to you all then!!
Good luck everyone!

ttcbby2 - glad you're managing to stay fairly calm about it. Good luck for Tuesday. be thinking of you.

I forgot to say, my 'other option' didn't happen. Ex came round this evening to discuss possibly helping me out, but he decided he couldn't go through with it . Knew it was a lot to ask but he sounded quite positive when we spoke on the phone on Monday so was hoping he may have gone for it.

Hayzee and Nicci - wouldn't it be great if you both got BFPs on same day .

well had the jab on monday so ovulated on tuesday yeah i have had cramps since tuesday but they are wearing off a bit now. Ive got a cold again so feel like rubbish and i dont wanna take anything just incase.

hayzee · 01/02/2009 10:42

as far as i know it's a really good sign hayzee. My other friend hannah (remember me saying 2 of my friends were newly pregnant!) got cramps from 5 dpo (just like period pains) and a BFP at 8dpo!!!!! i can't wait till tues in the hope that i feel those cramps too!! Ovualtion confirmed on FF on thurs so i'm 3 dpo today just behing you. Glad ur feeling better now.

Issy42 · 01/02/2009 15:23

Fingers crossed it's a good sign for you hayzee. Glad you're feeling better.

I'm right with you nicci also ov'd around Thursday. FF says Thursday according to OPK (I only did one though), Friday according to temp but I think Wed.

Good luck both and good luck for the scan on Tuesday ttcbby2. xxx

hayzee · 01/02/2009 15:52

well i read some where that if you have a cold or are run down when ovulating/implanting then you have more chance of the egg sticking as usually your body treats it as a foreign object in your body and so your antibodies attack it but if you are run down or ill it does not. Dont know how true this is. Hopefully its a good sign these cramps but will just have to wait and see i dont want to get my hopes up will have to wait 11 more days and then do a test.
Well seems all 3 of us are on track with eeach other maybe its a sign. xxx

Issy42 · 01/02/2009 15:57

You could be right. Some of the BFPs on the September thread were people who'd hardly bd'd that month because they had flu. Let's hope it worked in your favour too.

Well no cramps for me yet but, (BEWARE THIS IS WAY TMI!) i've had some seriously snot like cm! has anyone here ever experienced that around 5 dpo? What's ur experiences Hayzee/Issy/ttcbby2?
What news have you ttcbby, how was ur scan? X

OP posts:
Issy42 · 03/02/2009 18:11

Hi Nicci - never experienced snot-like sorry. When I was pg last March, I had lots of thick cm which had a slight yellow/green tinge to it about 3 days before I got my BFP though, so could be a good sign. Fingers crossed.

Hope scan went well ttcbby2.

How are those cramps Hayzee?

hayzee · 04/02/2009 09:52

hi all
no never had snot like cm so hopefully it is a good sign for you. The cramps have eased but yesterday my left nipple felt like it was on fire not sure if its anything to do with it or if it was just irritated, other than that nothing else to report just going to wait until next week.xxx

Issy42 · 05/02/2009 00:18

Oh sounds good hayzee.

Any news ttcbby2?

How's everyone else doing (moo, pinkmook?)

ttcbby2 · 05/02/2009 03:56

Hi Ladies! My scan went perfect! There was a squirmy baby bouncing around with a hb of 166. I couldn't be happier to see that. Now the other news. There is something else in there. Some kind of growth or something. Going for an ultra sensitive U/S on March 3rd. Dr isn't worried so I am not either!

Nicci, I also had that snot like CM before i got my BFP! I was like WOAH thats some strange stuff. I don't remember it with my previous pregnancy probably because I wasn't clocking it like I did this one. I also had cramping and i also spotted for a few hours.

I hope this is really good news for you ladies!!
I am going to be checking on you all very often!!!

Oh Ttcbby too i'm so pleased to here that ur scan showed a happy little buba with a heartbeat thats fantastic. Wonder what that other thing is?? i'm so excited that u got this snot like cm, maybe it's a really early sign for me!! Nothing much else to report my end, sharp twinges felt on & off in uterine area and in boobs at times too! no cramps though!! Anyone else?

OP posts:
hayzee · 05/02/2009 10:28

Lets hope that we will all be leaving this thread and starting another about our pregnancys xxx

Issy42 · 05/02/2009 11:57

Great news ttcbby2, that must have been so reassuring to see. Hope the other thing goes away for you.

Fingers crossed for you nicci and hayzee, but don't abandon me when you get those BFPs .

hayzee · 06/02/2009 15:59

hopefulnicci · 06/02/2009 18:06

I STILL DON'T HAVE ANY CRAMPS! MAYBE VERY VERY MILD ONES FOR A SHORT WHILE TODAY IF I THINK ABOUT IT REALLY HARD!! STILL GOT THE OCCASSIONAL SHOTTING PAINS IN BOOBS ANYONE ELSE GOT THAT? HAYZEE/ISSY WITHOUT GROSSING YOU OUT TOO MUCH WHAT'S UR CM LIKE? OPPS JUST REALISED I'M IN CAP LOCKS! hAYZEE YOU MUST BE CLOSE TO TESTING RIGHT? HOW MANY DAYS NOW SINCE UR SHOT? MUST BE OUT OF UR SYSTEM BY NOW X

OP posts:
Issy42 · 07/02/2009 02:00

I'm not testing Hayzee because I have more chance of winning the lottery than being pg from one BD using withdrawal method even if it was on the right day . I'm not even temping - just did the week of ov to know when to expect AF and will start again Monday to see drop.

I didn't have any cramps when I was pg nicci, so don't worry. The last cycle (without clomid or trigger) I had quite thick, white cm during the first week after ov but then thins out to more watery consistency and less and less of it until AF arrives. That's what I seem to have again this time. When I was pg last time, AF was due at weekend and had the really thick CM from the Wednesday before.

hayzee · 07/02/2009 11:03

hi going 2 test next week as not due my period yet and dont show until usually week late so there aint no point. My boobs are quite tender but i do get that when im due a period my cm is normal so just have to wait and see.

hayzee · 08/02/2009 17:07

well not sure whats going on but since last night ive been getting cramps a bit like period ones so not sure if im going to get my period or not, im 12 dpo

Issy42 · 08/02/2009 17:34

Fingers crossed that they're implantation cramps and not period ones Hayzee.
