Just re read my post. For those of you that dont know, i lost my baby boy earlier this year. I went into premature labour

Sorry again for the rant, just needed to vent.

LiLew · 12/11/2009 13:56

Oh honey I'm sorry to hear that, I really am. I completely understand how you're feeling - you just want to say arse holes to it all don't you?! Keep your chin up though hun - you've managed to get pregnant before, so surely it can happen again. My consultant said that they can keep you on clomid for a year, so maybe it's not expected to happen so soon?

Try and do something nice for yourself to cheer you up. Drop everything for the rest of the day and have a bit of a pampering session and eat lots of chocolate!

We'll get there hun, don't you worry. I reckon my AF is going to arrive in the next day or so, so we can be cycle buddies

The one bright side of my AF arriving is that I can have a good drink without worrying haha!

Oh popsy, I'm so sorry about AF arriving and about your son that you lost earlier in the year. I had no idea about that. I can't even imagine what you are going through having to deal with it. I really hope this next month is your month. You definitely deserve it!

stac14 · 12/11/2009 17:42

Hey popsy so sorry about af honey, wish there was something i can say to make it better sending virtual hugs and chocolate, hope you get your bfp next month.

Hows everyone else? xxx

sevans · 12/11/2009 18:24

Hi stac, nice to hear from you. What has been going on with you?

Still no AF for me. Today is CD 34. Did a test Tuesday and got a BFN. Plan on testing again tomorrow if no AF before then.

Lil, maybe AF wont come for you!

LiLew · 12/11/2009 20:12

Well I just burst into tears in the middle of Tesco's for no reason at all

I think it's going to be a bad AF - my moods are all over the place!

stac14 · 12/11/2009 22:04

Hi sevans I'm ok, af still hasnt came but have had loads of cramps and a bit of spotting so who knows why that is, hows you?

lilew that will be the clomid hun, I was terrible for that too bit of a nightmare of a side effect. I asked my cons about it at the time but he blamed my moods on the fact that I had previously had depression, but I knew it wasnt that as I haven't been depressed for years lol

Hows everone else? xxx

LiLew · 13/11/2009 09:08

Yeah I think you're right stac. And to think that I could have another 8 months on the Clomid! God help my poor husband!!

Jojo1984b · 13/11/2009 10:12

Well went for my scan this morning and i have 3 follicles ready to go, woohoo!

The sonographer said i might be best not to try this month as there is 3 but sod that! Im gonna try even harder!

Hope everyone is ok, i just know there are some bfp's around the corner for us

LiLew · 13/11/2009 11:30

That's great jojo! I've never had a scan for follicles - I wonder why that is.

Anyway, I agree with you - try even harder hehe!!

I hope you're right that there's some BFP's coming our way soon - I love a good success story!

sevans · 13/11/2009 14:30

Hi girls! Yay for the three follicles jojo! Best of luck! Still no AF for me....but still no BFP. Today is CD35. I have no clue what is going on. Yesterday I had ovulation pains similar to what I had when I was ovulating. All too weird. My temps are still up. Is it possible with the Clomid to ovulate but not get AF naturally if no pregnancy? I think I may call my doctor today.

stac14 · 13/11/2009 17:33

Hi ladies rant alert I am best friends with 2 sisters, just got a text from one of them saying the other thinks she may be preggers, I want to be happy for her but her dp is a lazy no good idiot who doesnt even have a job to support thier first child let alone another one, I know it sounds really selfish but I know she doesnt want a baby at the moment because of her situation (they are skint) which makes it even worse. I have to admit my first thought was I hope its a false alarm, but my rational thought was to feel sorry for her. Feel like such a bad person!! Sorry for going on, but really didnt expect this.
How are the rest of you?? xxx

Jojo1984b · 13/11/2009 20:33

Tell me about it stac! My sister is pregnant and she is 16!!!!!

There is no way she would get rid of him(just found out its a boy). She has now moved in with her boyfriend and he is a bit of a loser, a nice enough lad hes 21 and has his own house at least. Still has not got a job yet though!!

I also felt like a terrible person when she first told me but im over it now and happy for her, as long as shes happy i am and will help her any way i can. xxxx

stac14 · 14/11/2009 19:48

Hey jojo I felt jealous at first but then felt that of course I would support her as she is one of my oldest friends but luckily for her she had af last night so she is overjoyed, said she is defo not ready to have another child yet. She also offered to be a surrogate for me if I needed her, which was lovely but not something I would take her up on. How are we all today? I am ill, was very sick last night and I am now loaded with the cold going to watch xfactor then bed me thinks oh and af has appeared again think I need to call the docs xxx

sevans · 15/11/2009 14:54

Hi girls! Just wanted to let you all know that I got a BFP using a First Response test this morning! I am going to the doctor tomorrow to do a blood test so hopefully it will confirm my BFP.

Jojo1984b · 15/11/2009 15:00

Thanks ladies! I'm going in today to do blood work and hopefully it will confirm my BFP. I am somewhat in disbelief about this!

Pinkali37 · 16/11/2009 16:05

Hello

Right brief resume of me and my fertility:-

Got diagnosed with severe endometriosis and endometriomas in 2007. Had 2 operations and was told by my consultant to try clomid (even though professor of IVF told me i would never conceive without IVF). I was waiting for next AF and discovered i was pg totally naturally. Had a MC and it utterly broke my heart but did show me that everything worked. (ooh should also mention that DH had had a vasectomy 15 years ago and a reversal in Nov 2006 and has 33% of good ones). I started clomid at 50mg in the December and didn't ovulate for 2 months then on my 3rd month and following a course of accupuncture i conceived again (also had just ordered from the DR's 3 months worth of clomid at 100mg to start the next month). I ended up having a successful pregnancy and gave birth to a beautiful daughter on 1st November (2 weeks early) at 38 weeks.

ANYWAY... i am now desperately TTC #2. Tried 1st month naturally and failed and have just started clomid (as had some left over) at 50mg this month. Am on day 15 but don't seem to have any signs of ovulation. Before having DD my cycle could be anything up to 50days and following her they calmed down to 36 days. Should clomid make them even more regular????

Jojo1984b · 16/11/2009 18:00

Hey all hows it going?

I think i have ovulated, i had a sharp pain on the left yesterday only lasting a couple of seconds, and the same on the right this morning!

The only problem now is finding time to BD as his lordship started a new job today and is fairly tired and stressed!

So we are going out for tea to celebrate the job and im going to ply him with beer and use my best seduction techniques later !!

Good luck pinkali37! Im getting good vibes from here now

Pinkali37 · 17/11/2009 09:36

Question: can you ovulate and not have the egg white? i.e. on Saturday morning and i had a really sharp pain in Ovary but no other sign...
