Hi ladies
How are you all? Spoke to the doc last night about the spotting and pains at my ovaries, he said it could be my cysts or maybe a urine infection so he asked me to take a urine sample to the nurse today. She checked it and its normal but as she has been dealing with me throughout the ttc she asked if I could be pg I said I doubted it so she tested just in case and would you believe it was bfp!!! I so cant believe it after 20 months of trying I am pregnant. If I go by my last period I am about 9 weeks but who knows as I did have a few bfns last month. I have the docs on Monday and have bought a clear blue digital to show dp when he comes home, only me, him and my aunt knows and now all of you.
Just want to thank you all so much for your support over the past months, I hope its still ok to come on and see how your all getting on
I am proof it really can happen for us baby dust to us all *

OMG stac that is fantastic news!!! CONGRATULATIONS! I am so happy for you! Sounds like you are further along than me. Have you been having any symptoms now looking back?

hey sevans yeah, I was really sick last weekend and some food is making me heave lol nut other than that not much to be honest, I just did a clear blue with conception indicator which had said 3+ which means I am over 5 weeks at the moment so if my calculations are right then I am 9weeks xx

am sooo happy for you girlies - am soooooooo thrilled for you God surely does answer prayers...Amen..... am just praying I can join your club soon as AF hasnt arrived yet and still have sore boobs , emotional, extremely high temp ....one other very odd occurqance for me is a lot of clear discharge (sorry for TMI) ....however did two sainsbury tests and they were both BNF one yesterday pm and another 1st thing in the morning .... am cd30 today ......should i do the clear blue one or do you think its too soon......i dont wanna be down coz of BFN - DP is very optimistic and keeps asking if i have checked......awww i dont know what to do - ......this is all very new to me as this was my second cycle of Clomid ......

tembie, it may be too early. Do you know when you ovulated? I ovulated on CD 18 and I got a BFN using cheapies on CD29 and CD32 and a faint BFP on CD35 and CD36 using cheapies again. I finally got a very clear BFP on CD 37 using First Response. I often wonder if I would have just gone with the First Response initially how much sooner would I have known.

Good luck to you!!!!

Wow stac congratulations you and hubby must be thrilled. Really pleased for you. There seems to be a theme lately hoping i can join very soon Take good care and enjoy that wonderful feeling.

Lots of love and a huge congrats again

congratulations Stac Really rally happy for you and your family. You take good care and keep use all updated on your health. xxx

Hi all,

Thought I'd join in this discussion as I'm on the same journey as many here...

Brief history of my (non) fertility:

Stopped taking the pill in Nov 2005, went to the doctor about not conceiving in September 2007. After being referred to fertility specialist, I have PCOS and don't ovulate (although I do have regular periods). I've been trying Clomid 50mgs since May this year, still nothing. I've been prescribed Metformin since Nov 2008.

I've got my next appointment with my specialist on 9th Dec and I've decided to try acupuncture just to see what happens. Ironically my first session with the acupuncturist is the day before I next see my specialist.

I've been trying to stay really cool about the whole thing, very zen. Actually I'm upset about it all, and I'm only just allowing myself to admit that the whole thing is really emotional and upsetting. Husband is very supportive, so that's nice. I'm 34 and I'm sick of feeling like it's not going to happen for me.

Cross your fingers for me

tembie is right I took 3 cheapies in october when af was due and they were all bfn but the docs one yesterday was very positive as was the clear blue digital I did last night, think I just want to keep doing tests to see if its real lol. Leave it another couple of days but your symptoms seem promising hun

Good luck to everyone and thanks for your support xxx

Great news stac! I wonder who will be next?!

Just a waiting game for me now im on CD18. Dont think it will be my lucky month as hubby started a new job this week so has been tired and a bit stressed and we havent been able to bd much. Just once on CD10 the day i had my scan. She did say the follicles were ready to pop so maybe there is a little bitof hope there.

Oh well maybe next month we will get an early christmas present

Hope everyone else is doing good xxx

I can't remember how long I took Clomid for but it was over six months and I now have a dd who is 14 months old.
There was hardly any evidence that I was ovulating before I took Clomid so it seems to me to be the most likely factor in my pg as we'd been trying for years without success before that.
Pg was fine and she is perfect. I'm amazed as we'd all but given up because I'm over 40.... Fingers crossed for everyone here.

hey ladies
thanks for all your kind wishes, went to docs today and she says everything seems fine so I am jst waiting to hear from the hospital. have had lots of cramping (its been going on for 2 weeks) but the doc says its just my ligaments stretching so not to worry unless theres any bleeding, but I am still very nervous probs because it has takend so long to get here and as I havent had a baby in 10 years lol

keeping my fingers crossed for you jojo it would be a lovely xmas pressie

how are you all ladies? hope you dont mind me hanging about but have grown quite attached to you all xxxx

really thrilled for you hun - i decided to wait a couple more days before i do more tests - will keep you posted either way ..xxxx

Hi All,

Stac14 What fantastic news and surprise!!! I had a lot of cramping when i was very early pregnant. A lot of pain in my ovaries as well (i thought i had one of those cysts that are common in pregnancy), alas it all died down and everything was fine so i wish you the best of luck!!!!!!! xxx

tembie How long is your cycle normally? With DD i tested on cd27 and got a positive with a clear blue digital (not the new one with conception time but the one that just said "pregnant") so i was 3 weeks and 4 days!!! I was shocked!!! I swear by the clearblue ones as it saves all the hassle of the cheaper ones not giving the right result. I really wish you lots of luck! xxx

Bodeccia Welcome. I got pregnant the first month i had accupunture which was my 3rd month at 50mg on clomid.

So.... i am on day erm... can't remember CD23 and have had a nasty sore throat. Sounds strange but i am never ill and the last time was when i was 6 weeks pregnant and i got a chest infection (immune system was obvioulsy fighting for the baby). Sounds silly but it is giving me hope although i don't think we did it at the right time, although saying that Sevans you have given me hope by letting me know when you did it!!! Thank you.xxx

Well last night i had mega sore boobs, as in i couldnt even move my arms across my chest is was that bad! Woke up tis morning and they feel worse if anything. They feel really heavy like 2 sacks of spuds! I have a little puppy an she just put her paws on my chest and i nearly flung her across the room it hurt that much!! Not sure weather its just the clomid? I didnt have anything like this last time though. Trying not to get my hopes up as we only did it once before ovulation.

Has enyone else had enything like this?

Hope everyone is ok!

Good Luck JOJO really hope this is it for you! I didn't have a stereotypical symptoms when iw as pregnant last time so of course worried about everything! My boobs hurt for 2 weeks and that was it from about 5 weeks. Most peoples hurt from quite early on so who knows this could be quite a good sign for you! x

Thanks Pinkali i really hope so.

Just burst into tears cos the cash machine swallowed my bank card and had a major go at hubby even though its not his fault !

Hi all

Big congrats to Stac im so happy for you. Maybe it was that couple of pound you lost lol. Please stay on here and keep us updated with your news.
Im not on clomid either anymore but all us girls are still in the same boat ttc. I didnt realise how bad clomid made me feel until I have come off them. I was premenstral all the time and boobs felt really sore when due on. the worst thing was tiredness, i feel like I have so much energy back.

Good luck to you all x

Jojo, my boobs were sore soon after ovulation and continue to be today. Not as bad as what you describe, but definitely sore and tender. Another thing (sorry if this is TMI) but my nipples soon after ovulation got bigger.

It sounds good for you, tembie and pink! Babydust!!!

thanks pinkali think I am just worried cos its been such a long time since last pregnancy but nice to hear its normal. I was ill for about a fortnight there with a flu, sickness and the other and like you i rarely get ill so maybe your the next to get on board hun

jojo I found the clomid made me emotional too, dh will understand its the tabs and not you, you may also have something implanting at the moment sending your hormones all over the place lol. I dont have sore boobs but same as sevans my nips seem massive and v red

clairebear I totally agree about the clomid it is not a nice drug apparantly femera is much kinder to woman but its hard to get it prescribed. I think the weight loss was the factor in falling pg as I have lost about 2 stone from last year, which led to 3 af's in a row up until october when I thought it was the pcos causing it to go away (3negative tests also made me think I was pg) but defo am now lol.

sevans how are you feeling?

sending lots of baby dust to you all xoxoxox

Hi everyone....can I ask do any of you feel really sick just before your AF arrives? I am on CD31 at the mo, last month my AF came CD32.... mth before CD31. I feel sometimes its on its way then the feeling goes. Im so worn out and worried with waiting so maybe thats making it late...just wish I knew. Hope your all well
Lots of baby dust coming your way *

stac, I'm feeling fine which kind of worries me. I had some fatigue and occasional cramps the last week and a half but not so much anymore. I am still peeing more than normal. Today I am six weeks based off my calc. I was fully expecting to at least get some sickness by this point. I am counting down the hours until my appointment next Tuesday when I get an ultrasound because I worry myself sick that there is the possibility of a miscarriage.

Dont worry Sevans am sure everything will be just fine .....am still waiting for AF to come ...boobs are just sensitive however my temp maybe high due to this horrible nasty flu i have .......am under pressure form DP to test but am now actually scared of testing in case its a negative ...i have booked an appointment with the doc on Friday so am saving my good test for that morning ....(miracles do happen)....xxxxx am trusting God for mine...x

Hi Ladies, Im sorry I havent been around much, been having a really tough time lately so have kept myself to myself. My Dad has been really ill and been preoccupied with that, but was getting excited as I was on CD36 today but AF has just arrived so feeling really down now and cant stop crying, it doesnt help that 6 of my friends have announced they are pg this month and although I am happy for them it is like a knife in my heart everytime, it sounds over dramatic but I know you ladies will understand.
I am worried now as I dont think I should be getting to CD36 if Ive ovulated, but I spoke to the consultants sectary on yesterday and she didnt seem to think its a bad thing, i got to CD32 last month and know I ovulated because I had day 21 bloods done but dont feel so sure now, anyone else had the same experience?

Just noticed a couple of BFP well done Stac and Sevans - so pleased for you girlies x x
