Hello all,

I'm fast approaching CD 50 and had a tiny bit more spotting today. Strange.

Claire, I'm nowhere near looking into IVF yet. I only have my second appointment with the consultant at the end of July. I'll probably be back on the Clomid train for a good few months before IVF is suggested.

hope all the rest of u girls r keepin well... dont think ive met any of u's but hello anyway

stac14 · 26/06/2009 15:53

Hey claire how did things go today? Hope your ok chick.
The consultant has told me if my tubes are blocked then it will be IVF but hopefully thats not going to be the case, but I think you can do IUI too so maybe that would be an option. I will know nothing till August which seems to be dragging in

Hey lauren I'm good thanks, on hold till August as I have to have an echovist scan see if there are any blockages in my tubes, apparantly they do this after the clomid in case there are any problems so trying not to worry. Bet your chuffed to be back on the clomid, what dosage this time hun?

Hey clwc and askim hows you? whats your plans this weekend? xxx

Askim · 26/06/2009 16:16

Hey stac14...no plans for this weekend at all being lazy and relaxing this weekend..just waiting is killing me really hope i dont come... now on CD 26 still nothing so fingers crossed.
You at any plans.xx

Laurenl502 · 26/06/2009 17:36

hey stac awk august thats wick.
is that an hsg. i had one of those done although it was b4 i started clomid, its like an xray kinda thing n they insert a tiny catheter and put the dye through it, u can see ur tubes on the screen... i started crying as soon as i went in cos i didnt know wot to expect but when it was over i felt like a d**k cos it was nothin 2 worry about.
when have u 2 go in and get it done?

im well chuffed to be bk on the clomid again.. im still jus on 50 mg as the first 2 times i was on it i ovulated but the third time i dont think i did and plus i wasnt being monitored the third time so we will see when i go up on the 7th for the scan and see if i have ovulated.

wot u 4 at the weekend?

thenewsmoo · 26/06/2009 21:06

HI girls

Hope you're ok, Claire...sad news for u.

I wentto cons appt lastwek. We have now been referrred for IVF as clomid hasn't worked(took it for 8mtsh- (6 mths prescribed but I was given extra tablets so kept taking them)but to no avail..

Had to have more bld tests and clamydia test! Feel ok about referral as at least there is another hope. Just waiting to hear from the clinic now. There will b no more contact with the hospital or doc 4 now.
Love to all.xx

stac14 · 26/06/2009 22:24

Hey lauren just visiting family tomorrow not much else, DS started school hols so have to find ways of keeping him occupied. What you up to?

thenewsmoo didnt they want to try anything else since the clomid didnt work or did you choose to go for IVF? I'm hoping thats the very last resort for us. Whats the waititng lists like for IVF? xxx

Clwc · 27/06/2009 10:31

Hello all. I hope Claire's OK today.

I started bleeding today. Ah, well. Back to counting the days. xx

claire001 · 27/06/2009 15:23

Hi Girls

How is everyone?

Went in for my scan yesterday and they confirmed that the baby wasnt growing but the sac was (sac had grown to over 5cm) Got to go into hospital on Monday morning at 7.30am so that they can do the D and C sometime after that, I will be out the same day so that isnt to bad,

I have read so many different things on the net about when you are allowed to start trying again and alot of people said between 1 and 6 months! but spoke to the nurse yesterday and she said that its fine to start straight away as long as i feel ready, so im going to start clomid Monday night as if i have just come on so then hopefully will ovulate again this month, I dont think i will fall quickly like alot of people do after a D and C but the sooner i get trying the sooner i can forget about the past month. XX

Clwc · 28/06/2009 01:46

Hi Claire,

I've heard many stories of women falling pg very soon after a MC. Just do whatever feels right for you. At least you know you can get pregnant As the Scots say, "What's for you will not go by you" (add accent if you wish). Right stac? x x x

OP posts:
stac14 · 28/06/2009 15:44

Askim · 28/06/2009 21:27

Hey ladies, just thought i would give u's a little update becos im soo confused.
Well had my last af on 2nd june 2009 had my scan on cd 11 were i was told i had 3 folicles and that i should have intercourse this month as there was too many, went against the doctors advised and from that day on had intercourse every day, over past few days i have noticed that my stomach has been getting cramps and some sharp pains...my af would be expected on 30th which is 2 days from now, but today i have notice a browish discharge when i go loo, no blood just browish...not sure if my af or anything else, i really hope it would be implantation bleeding, just dont no...

fingers crossed, if not round 2 for me ((

Laurenl502 · 29/06/2009 15:32

hey Askim, not sure wot ur symptoms sound like but hopefully this is the month for u and it is good news
think i would do the same if i was told not to have SI if i had 2 many folicles.
i started bk on my clomid today again so have scan next tuesday to see if it has worked.
wot cycle r u on. wot mg of clomid r u takin

hi stac hows things with u.

claire hope everythin went ok for u today

hope every1 else is keepin ok

stac14 · 29/06/2009 22:14

Hi lauren I'm good thanks hun, waiting for my app lol how you feeling? xxx

Clwc · 30/06/2009 10:15

Hello everyone,

When did Claire say she'd be back out of hospital? I hope she's managing OK.

Not much news here. A bit TMI, but I've been having a 'brown' and light period. I hope it doesn't go the same way as last month. That was horrible.

OP posts:
Laurenl502 · 30/06/2009 20:00

im feelin fine apart frm the flushes havin startin again... tell u i didnt miss them lol.

jus a wee question, hav any of u's experienced weight gain on clomid..im not overweight like but hav put on quite a bit of weight since bein on them.

its jus a waitin game stac isnt it... sumtimes i dont think they know wot it feels like to be tryin 2 get pregnant, they dont rush themselves along..

clwc wot cycle r u on.

claire hope ur ok

Askim · 30/06/2009 21:41

hey,
its offical its def af i have, which im really depressed out, called the doctors, he wants me to only take clomid this month on day 1,3,5, soo ive just taken my first one yesterday, im really disgusted like becos i did ovualte with 3 large eggs and not even 1 took ((
and this af is really bad this month sooo heavy its unreal.

Hows everyone else getting on???xxx

stac14 · 30/06/2009 23:40

Hey lauren yeah I wish they knew what it was like then they would stop putting us though so much crap lol, I hated the hot flushes although I have to say the weather has been roasting so thats not helping with the clomid flushes

Hey clwc hope you dont get a bad yin like last time hun, have you been in much pain. Think Claire was going to in yesterday but would be back out the same day, hope she is ok.

Hey askim soz af got you hun, are they only letting you take 3 days of clomid because you had 3 large folicles? hope your ok chick, try not to get too down, I know its hard but be positive you will get your bfp

Hows everyone else? baby dust to all!!!

Askim · 01/07/2009 01:30

hey stac14 , yeah they only letting me take round 2 on 1,3,5 days only 3 tablets becos they said it worked to much last month..im also on 1500mg of metiformm(dont mind the spelling) now too..
This better be my month lol.xxx

Clwc · 01/07/2009 10:32

Lauren, I'm not taking Clomid at the moment.

Stac, I'm not in that much pain yet, but I feel a little bit worse each day. If it started last Saturday, I hope I'll be done with it by Friday. I doubt that though. Hmph.
Still no AF for you?

OP posts:
stac14 · 01/07/2009 12:39

hey clwc No af for me, have had some pmt though, that may be because the school hols have started here and I have DS and step DS who are 10 and 11 and at the age were the huffing has kicked in, it like living with kevin & perry lol

askim good to hear your more positive now, cd1 is the most depressing day isnt it? what dosage of clomid are you on?

Hey lauren has the sweats calmed down yet?

claire how ar you hun? how did monday go? xxxx

claire001 · 01/07/2009 17:32

Hi Girls

Sorry i havent been on the past couple of days iv been feeling a bit rough since the ERPC.

It all went ok but im in a bit of pain and having very heavey bleeding, I started taking clomid on Monday and days 2 and 3 im going to take 150mg then days 4,5 and 6 im going to take 200mg then days 7 and 8 go back down to 150mg,
