new thread.

for those who are having problems getting pg

or staying pg

or are simply fed up of being told to relax and having to smile and say "you never know"

Just back from my scan sac has got a bit smaller. I am off to hospital this after noon for medical management of a mc. Dr was great my local hospital wont let you go home once you have taken the tablet so she has arranged for me to go to the next town where they only make you wait an hour then can go home. Just want to get it over with now. It my 30th bday tomorrow so hopefully the bleeding wont be to bad.
Lissie it must be so frustrating hope you know either way soon.

oh cedar, honey im so sorry. what a crap way to spend your birthday.

thank you, have spoken to FU and they said that i need a blood test. apparently clomid can delay bfp's (varying progesterone etc) but if CD10 scan showed 5 mature eggs then i should have had something by now. because of my history i need a test asap. so apparently it really aint over til the red witch sings. just waiting for gp to call me back.

shit, hope that wasnt insensitive..

cedar
at least you know which way things are going
lissie , well, there's always hope and it didn't sound insensitive, just normal
I am Cd 31 and no period yet, but my cycle can go up to CD35 once a year or so
Neg test CD29
Am now thinking it isn't over until my period comes, but don't want to test as having a little hope is better than none at all
cedar, thinking of you tomorrow

darrell, thank you when will you test?

ok, gp has arranged a wee test for me 1st thing monday and whatever the result i need a blood test on monday too. she was lovely and said she was hoping desperately that it was a bfp.

i can hardly dare to hope!

I don't know
I don't think I want to which is odd

and your gp sounds lovely

cedar - so sorry to hear that you had bad news. I hope that you get extra tlc and that you manage to enjoy some of your birthday today, am thinking of you.

Lissie - I really hope that you have good result on monday.

Darrell - hope you get a bfp soon too.

Wow, I am full of emotion here, thinking of you all.

Hi everyone thanks for thinking of me. All started last night quite bad cramps last night and lots of clots but its all eased off know. Spent the whole morning in our pjs playing my new wee fit that dh got me. Got very spoilt wee fit and a new digital radio I am addicted to the radio alway got it on. Dd got some nice knickers and some smellys all chosen by herself. Off out for a nice meal tonight then having a party in a couple of weeks with mates etc.
Hope the test goes alright on monday Lissie will have everything crossed at a course all day monday but will try and get online inthe evening.
Good luck Darrel with testing when will you test again?

Cedar - so sorry to hear that. I'm glad you're being spoilt on your birthday - I've got a wii fit and they're great! Have a lovely meal tonight...

Lissie - everything crossed for you on Monday

Darrell - keep us posted re testing!

I went to see my m/c guy. i mentioned to him I was about to ov so he gave me a scan (I'm on tamoxifen via the NHS as clomid thinned my uterine lining. V annoying as I got pregnant first time on clomid, but tamoxifen doesn't seem to be doing quite as good a job). It showed I only had one egg, so he is going to speak to my NHS consultant about doubling the dose of tamoxifen. I mentioned to him my nhs consultant was concerned about triplets, which he dismissed with a wave of his hand - my kind of guy!

And so begins the 2ww...

cedar- that all sounds lovely
well, bowing out for this month, cd32 , bfn, and I'm sure it is negative
lissie , good luck monday

hi all, happy birthday cedar, im sorry xxx

heebee, fingers crossed for you, whats the difference between clomid and tamoxifen?

rainbows, hope you are ok

darrell, sorry sweet.

shreks, i take mine CD2 on, and have tracking scan on CD10. think thats pretty much the norm tbh. what dosage are you on?

im out too. period started this morning. feel a bit foolish now. still, on with the clomid i suppose. wanted a march baby anyway

Message withdrawn

Sorry to hear about the bfns..

Clomid thinned my uterine lining, and I think it has a tendancy to do this over time as well, so it just wasn't going to work out. Tamoxifen apparently does the same as clomid, but thickens your lining..

I take it exactly the same as clomid - days 2-5 then the scan on around day 11, though I've not had to have the scans for the past 3 months as I was responding well - the one the private consultant gave me was the first one since Jan..

Message withdrawn

heebee, ah, will see how i respond to the clomid. thanks!

shreks, when do you start the clomid? i was horrendous last month. woke dh up one night to rant at him for going to the pub 4 years ago

dh's bf's dw is pg again. am truly fucked off.

Shrek - oh no, men are not good for hormones, at least the clomid will give you a definite reason to throttle him!

lissie - horrible dh's bf's dw....

I meanwhile am feeling a little too good, had good weekend and able to forget all the horrible stuff for a few hours was just what I needed.

Message withdrawn

for the bfns and dh's bf's dw.. I'm starting to get twitchy that another of my friends is going to announce she is pregnant which would be their second child in the time I have ftc one...

shrek - my consultant asked me how I was getting on on the tamoxifen. I muttered something about mood swings and he leant forward and said "is DH still alive". I said he was, though only just. He leant back in his chair and said "well, that's alright then"

lol heebee, i was a bit sceptical about the mood swings and didnt think id been that bad, dh however vehemently disagrees!

So AF got me today.. on to the next month. Just waiting to hear if I can double the tamoxifen or not. If not, roll on the end of the year and ivf..

Heebee sorry to hear af got you today.

It looks like I have started af as well with spotting, but for me it is a relief that the chcg is finally leaving my system and I might finally be coming to the end of this m/c.

Lissie - how are the hormone rages going?

heebee, im sorry about your period, thats really pants

rainbow, must be such a relief!

well, hormones arent too bad today (but is only 8am) my skin however is dreadful. really, really awful. i feel so ugly and vile that sex is the last thing on my mind. however, dh is on schedule for a marathon week!
