Heya

Bubble You're right it does make him seem somehow closer. He does go away quite often with work but this time it's a football tournament that he's playing in down in Brighton. He's travelling back tonight but won't get home til about 2am

And my oh my you do have a lot of pets I have my hands full just keeping the kids away from our cat. I feel sorry for her sometimes cos the kids don't let her chill and sleep lol. She tends to stay outside these days and I don't blame her.

Take Care Everyone - might pop on later if anything exciting happens today (like thats even likely...)

Hello again...

I'm guessing everyone must be having a great weekend looking at how quiet it is on here

I don't really have anything to say or update or share (how boring am I?)I just wanted to check in and say hi to everyone - I wish it was Friday instead of Monday.

Roll on Saturday...holiday!!!! Yippeeeeee... Only to Skegness but I can't wait, kids are gonna have a ball!!!

Anyhow - take care everyone

seanybosmummy · 08/06/2009 09:32

Hey girlies,

Happy Monday (NOT), god i hope this week flies in

hmm bubble i see where your coming from, fishing is not my idea of fun either lol How are you finding the clomid? (i no it has only been a few days but just thought i would ask anyway) [blonde moment emotion]

whittywantababy6 · 08/06/2009 13:00

seanybosmummy · 09/06/2009 13:13

Hi everyone!

whitty did you get your results yesterday???

Is it just me or is this week dragging in?

Well girls nothing new with me apart from patiently waiting for my blood test app on friday morning. Not even going to waste my time symptom spotting this month cause don't think we had any luck. Have lost count of my cd and i dont even care, i am just feeling relief that the doc has finally agreed to start the ball rolling with the blood test.

Joy how are you feeling? Any nasty pg symptoms plaguing you yet?

Bubble how are you?

Ant hows things-hows the new house?

How is everyone else?

Hi seany

im good ta, you? Really bored of TTC and wondering if another 1 is such a good idea. I suppose everyone thinks like this at some point. Im just cacking myself about the clomid and its side affects. Today is the 3rd day ive been taking it, only 2 more to go. DH has his sperm test on thursday and then i have the long wait til day 21 to see if i ovd. Im gonna use opks too. just so i have an idea of when to get busy. Thats if i even ovulate. I feel like im fighting a loosing battle.
How will i get pg if i dont release an egg?? Hopefully the clomid will sort that.

Hope your all well.

gemsta · 09/06/2009 20:26

Hiya,

Hope you don't mind me joining this thread!

I'm on my second month TTC#1, thought it would be so easy and was convinced last month - so much so I think the excitement of it made me late by a week! Completely understand the hpt addiction now and really gonna try to resist this month (can get expensive!).

Currently TTC#1 UCL 28-30 CD20

No symptoms as yet - guess it's too early! not sure would trust my judgement anyway as I 'thought' I had loads of symptoms last month -all in my head clearly!

Can't believe I thought it would be so easy, when I never really had any maternal instincts I was paranoid about falling pregnant if late with the pill, now I have such a longing to become a mum and it all seems so difficult and heart-wrenching!
Me and my other half aren't telling anyone we are trying which is why I'm hoping for support from here, you all seem to know so much!

Sorry if I'm rambling, will keep posts short from now on!!

seanybosmummy · 09/06/2009 20:48

hiya gemsta, you're very welcome to join us . Best of luck for this month!! its about time we had another bfp on here to cheer us all up! I sympathise with the are they/arn't they symptoms- i just dont do it anymore cause after 13 mths ttc it gets a lot little frustrating.

bubble i know where you're coming from, it all feels a bit hopeless sometimes, but chin up cause i am positive the clomid will work for you xxx

OP posts:
gemsta · 09/06/2009 21:09

Thank you, finger's are very much crossed, and for you too - 13 mths of this must be really tough but guess it will happen when it's meant to!

xXx

Bubblebell1 · 09/06/2009 21:19

Hi gem good luck on this ttc rollercoaster.

Louise00 · 09/06/2009 22:53

Hi everyone

Not sure if I am in the right thread. My Husband and I have ttc for 18 months now with absolutley no success (although I may have had a suspected MC last year but it was never confirmed) Anyway our fertility cons has started me on 50mcg of Clomid and today is my first day of taking it. I really have no idea what to expect, I have been on a complete rollercoaster of emotions since we started ttc with no luck. Having read all your msg I was hoping for some advice and support, you guys look like your pretty good at providing that and tbh it's so nice to be able to talk to people in the same boat- if i hear 'it will happen when it's ready'from my family one more time I think im going to scream.I will log in regulary to try and keep up to date with everything. Thanks Louise xx

Bubblebell1 · 10/06/2009 08:15

Hi louise, I started clomid on sunday so we are more or less cycle buddies Its my first time too and im quite nervous. Good luck

seanybosmummy · 10/06/2009 09:17

Morning girlies,

Hi louise . Good luck! 18 months is a long time, im sure you're tearing your hair out by now [sympathetic smile emotion]. I hate when people say that too, and i esp hate when the doc says "its not a long time to be trying", thats why its a relief to come on here and know that all you ladies will understand where im coming from

btw you are all great . dp thinks im weird for coming on here and telling strangers about my life, but hes a man so he really doesnt have the same perspective on things as women do, bless him lol plus when you're bearing your soul to someone and sharing fears and hopes they aren't exactly strangers anymore, more like friends.

God i don't know whats wrong with me today, im all lovey dovey lol

Im thinking we should maybe start the list up again but i really couldnt be arsed-the obsessiveness is too much. Maybe we should start a list just with our names, cycle number and ttc #-what you all think????

seanybosmummy · 10/06/2009 09:18

Hi Girls - How is everyone?

Big wave to louise and gem Welcome to the thread.

Sorry I ain't been on in a while I had a bit of meltdown at work and was ordered to the docs and as a result have been signed off work for a month!!! They tell me I'm depressed although I feel ok, just a bit stressed.

Definitely grateful for the time off tho - gonna help me get some things sorted with prep for holiday which is looming and coming quickly. I've done no shopping for it yet so I'll do that today otherwise we'll have no holiday clothes, or food to eat.

Aaaaah well, sorry for the me post. Just needed to get it off my chest - maybe a baby will cheer me up?
Oh...about that...dh has said he still isn't gonna try for a baby until September (although I've warned him not to buy anymore youknowwhats - and so far he hasn't). I think he's scared at the moment that he's gonna tip me over the edge if we argue bless him.

Gonna go now - need to shop!!!

Take care ladies xxxxx

Joy27 · 10/06/2009 10:45

Hey all,

Welcome to the new ladies.

seany thanks for asking after me. Am 7w today and so far (touch wood) all seems to be well. Actually, feel sick as a dog today for the first time. But I was so worried about my lack of symptoms that I am quite pleased about it.

bubble I hope the clomid works out for you. As you know, I can totally understand the end-of-tether feelings you're having. I really hope the clomid does the job. I hear it has a good success rate.

Can I offer a bit of unsolicited advice about early testing to anyone tempted by the first response? I have found it to be such an agonisingly slow wait to get through the first trimester, I'm really glad I didn't find out I was pg until I was 5w 2d. The last week and a half has been anxious and interminable- and if I'd known any earlier the wait would just be longer. So my personal advice would be that it's far kinder to yourself to wait until you are seriously late.

Love to all. How is everyone?

Kaylo · 10/06/2009 10:55

Hi Joy, sorry to hear you have pg sickness - thankfully it doesn't last long

I agree with you about testing early but it's so hard when you're late and trying not to test.

xxx

Bubblebell1 · 10/06/2009 11:04

Hi girls!

joy so sorry you have sickness. I heard that sickness is a good thing as it means the hormones are racing thru your body. keep positive. i know this is your sticky bean and i wanna hear all the details from now til its here and beyond

fingers crossed re the clomid. something has got to work or i will end up with a zoo.

kay sorry your feeling low. a month off seems like it would do the trick. enjoy your holidays and make the most of the chilled out time.

Seany my DH says exactly the same. your right tho... your all great girls

SuziBhoy · 10/06/2009 12:35

hey bubble.......... thought i would give you and the rest of you ladies a little success story to keep you all positive!!!
i was supposed to be starting clomid so done a hpt yesterday (just to check) and it is BFP .... i have PCOS and apparantly my dp's swimmers werent the best but it happened!!

im passing the baby dust on it will happen when you least expect it to. x

seanybosmummy · 10/06/2009 14:55

Ahhhhh big congrats suzi, im so pleased for you!!!! what is your due date? I was wondering where you went lol obv you were on a BDathon

joy sickness is horrible but celebrate those mounting hormones girl!!

kaylo i hope your holiday and your month off makes you feel a lot better-depression is an awful thing but a break will do you good xx
