Woohoo! Congratulations sevans! It's such a great feeling knowing that everything's 'working'! It's just a matter of time now chick. I'm keeping everything crossed for you hun x

Sorry to hear you think AF is going to arrive Jojo1984b. It may take a couple of cycles of ovulation to get pregnant hun so don't give up hope - your time will come

How's everyone else doing? Have you seen your GP yet stac14?

Hi, i am new to this site, i have found it very helpful to hear everyone else stories with ttc, i am on my second lot of clomid now, did not ovulate on the 1st lot unfortunatly so fingers crossed will be good news when i have my blood test taken on day 21, the hardest part is my period is every 70 to 100 days!! its a nightmare.

popsy1 · 04/11/2009 17:43

Hello all, hope you are all well? How are my cycle buddies doing?

Hi psb280608 and welcome. Wow 70 + days of AF. Not much fun. Hopefully clomid will regulate you and fingers crossed for this month.

Sorry Af arrived and is so painful jojo. A heat pack and a duvet evo is called for i think. Spooks starts again tonight so happy snuggling!!
Im on CD25 and thankfully i ovulated , just have to wait and see.

sevans · 04/11/2009 18:29

Popsy - you ovulated too? That is great! I'm on CD 26 so I am just also waiting. I believe I ovulated on CD 18 so it has been 8 days since then. Hopefully we won't have much longer to wait around before we found out if we are pregnant or not! Forgive me for forgetting, but was this your first month of Clomid?

popsy1 · 04/11/2009 19:30

Hi sevans. This is my 4th month of clomid. Think I ov'd on CD16. But determind not to test till after CD35.
Xx

sevans · 04/11/2009 19:53

popsy Oh, ok. Yesterday my doctor mentioned to come in for a test if it's been ten days and no period. Ten days would put me at CD 35 which is next Friday. I don't know if I can wait that long without testing if AF doesn't arrive.

popsy1 · 04/11/2009 21:03

Its hard not to test but I get so upset when it's a BFN that I'm jus gunna wait. Hopefully this will b the month that we both get a BFP xx

Jojo1984b · 04/11/2009 22:03

Good luck popsy and sevans!! I will keep everything crossed for you x

Gonna start my clomid again tomorow so hopefully this will be my time , i cant cope with another AF on clomid! Very painfull! It will all be worth it in the end

stac14 · 04/11/2009 22:21

hey sevans sounds like positive news hun, keep us posted.

You too popsy would be lovely to hear about some bfps

Well my af is on its way so know how you feel jojo hope its not too bad hun, I will be back on clomid this cycle too hate it

how are you lilew and littlemiss?

welcome to the thread pcb long periods between af's are a nightmare my longest was 9 month then the doc prescribed provera to bring it on. Hope you get it soon hun xxx

stac14 · 05/11/2009 17:53

hey ladies on frustrated mode today, thought af was starting and its disappeared, so doc has upped my metformin to 850mg 3 times per day, I know you all know how I feel which is great cos trying to explain this to anyone else is too hard (sorry rant over)
How are you all today? xxxx

sevans · 05/11/2009 18:28

Hi stac sorry to hear that you are frustrated today. Did the doctor say anything as to what was going on with AF starting and disappearing? Was it brown spotting? I'm asking because I had some brown spotting throughout July-September when I didn't get one period. My doctor said the spotting was due to not ovulating and it was just old blood. That is when she gave me provera to induce my period and then started me on Clomid. I hope you get a proper AF soon so you can start Clomid. Are you going to take provera or try to wait it out a little longer?

stac14 · 05/11/2009 22:45

hey sevans it was kind of pinky, the doc just said it was part of my pcos (although I think they will blame everything on that) I have provera but think I will wait a while longer as I will be increasing the metformin. Its just a pain waiting about lol. How are you? Whens your test day? xxx

Jojo1984b · 06/11/2009 12:44

hey all, hope everyones ok.
Started clomid again yesterday, and feeling ok! Although i have just found out my sister is having a baby boy, and my partners broters wife has just found out she is pregnant too

Dont get me wrong im made up for them both especially my little sis but its soooo not fair!!

Hope you are feeling better today stac.

Hows it going sevans, you must be able to test soon?

xxxxxx

sevans · 06/11/2009 14:58

Hope you're feeling better today stac. Yes, it seems like everything is blamed on PCOS!

jojo, I know what you mean about other people being pregnant. It's hard to be as happy as you want to be for them because it seems so unfair. Especially when you hear they weren't even trying or it happened the first month!

I'm doing well. Today is CD 28 for me. My doctor mentioned coming in next Friday for a test if no AF which is CD 35. I've decided if AF doesn't get here by next Tuesday, I am going to test at home. That would be CD 32. I just hope I don't cave in and test this weekend!

popsy1 · 06/11/2009 17:14

Hey all hope you are all well.
I know what you mean jojo it seems that it's just 'babies, babies, babies' everywhere you look at the mo. Yes its so bloody unfair!!
How ya feeling today stac? The docs tell me to take northisterone when AF doesn't arrive. I only used to have 2 a year.

I'm on CD 27 and unfortunately don't think this is my month either. Cramps have started . My hubby says AF hasnt started so theres still hope. I know he's right but i think we all know the 'cramp feeling' only too well.
Haven't heard from littlemiss for a while, are you ok hun?
Love to all

xx

millymolly83 · 07/11/2009 17:04

sevans · 09/11/2009 21:11

Welcome millymolly! Best of luck with the clomid this time around. It is exciting to hear that you were successful with your twins. We can all use some hope!

How is everyone doing?

Jojo1984b · 10/11/2009 11:41

Hey sevans, you tested yet?

Ive got a long wait only just finished the clomid. Going in on Fiday for a scan to see if there are any follicles. I noticed that some peoples cinics only scan them the first time but mine seem to do it every time which is good!

Hows everyone else?

xxxxxx

sevans · 10/11/2009 18:28

Hi jojo! Good luck at your scan on Friday. I did a cheapie test this morning and got a BFN. Today is CD32 and 14DPO. I really don't know how long to expect my cycle to be since this is my first time on clomid. I think I will do another test on Friday if AF still hasn't arrived by then.

Jojo1984b · 10/11/2009 22:29

I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully we will see some BFP's on here this month!

millymolly83 · 11/11/2009 01:54

thanks sevans how are u geting on

sevans · 11/11/2009 18:06

Hi millymolly! I'm doing well. Still no AF. I didn't do a test this morning as I am trying to hold out until Friday.

Where is everyone? I hope everything is going well.

LiLew · 12/11/2009 09:11

Hey ladies! I've been so busy recently so haven't really had a chance to check in with you all! How is everyone doing?

Popsy - has AF arrived yet? I'm on CD29, but like you I have been getting those all too familiar cramp feelings. The good thing is that if AF arrives in the next few days then that should mean that I've ovulated two cycles in a row and my cycles are now becoming regular.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you sevans! Have you had any cramps or anything?

And how are you doing stac? Any sign of AF yet hun?

popsy1 · 12/11/2009 11:39

AF arrived this morning . Excuse the language, but sooooo fucked off n fed up. Is it ever going to work? Surely if it was going to work, it would have by now?? Four month of feeling crap, side effects, ups and downs of emotions and failure!!
This time last year iwas pg with a healthy baby boy, i should be looking forward to his 1st christmas, not feeling like this.

ITS NOT FAIR!!!!!!

Rant over, sorry
