TTC - Clomid Part 3

[stac14]

Follow on from the old thread for people trying to conceive using fertility treatments.

hi all, peju were all in this boat together and i only echo what you have said, we all look after eachother and you lot have really cheered me up when ive been rather grumpy down. p.s congrats on your weight loss but i think i have congratulated you already. first day back at school= mind gone!

stac, sorry af hasnt got you yet. i dont know whether to be happy or sad that i got a natural one but im looking at it in a positive manner. even though im in so much pain
glad you had fun at the wedding- last one i went to dp was very drunk and i was stuck with his new teenage step sisters- oh my did i need that free bar...

clure, i know they are so ickle- def my favourite age to teach although another teacher said to me recently, your so good with them, you'll be such a good mum- ouch! very sweet to say but ouch all the same.

anyhow excuse the tres long post( you've missed them im sure)

dust and hugs

p.s clure how are you hope your ok sorry forgot to ask. Am drinking v8 juice full of good baby making vits- imo its vile i am not amused! X

Hey thislittle, funny how a compliment can actually cut you like a knife! Hope you had a good day back. We had training day so back to the kids tomorrow.

Hope everyone's keeping ok. Sounds like we're all tring to get the exercise/healthy eating underway!

We all need soome good luck, as someone said to me today, "what did you do wrong in your last life...". I'm sure she was trying to be nice but that pretty much made me feel even more down in the dumps.

Still no af!!!!

baby dust *

hi all,
I had my day 21 progesterone bloods done today, had to wait nearly an hour at the hospital and the phlebotomist had a faulty collection bottle and she couldn't get any blood out and she was twiddling the needle round. eventually it came and now I have a REALLY sore arm, I even had to miss my bodypump class as I;m afraid to lift anything for fear my vein may pop sorry bit graphic!!
Well done all of you for keeping positive and healthy. I haven't touched a glass of wine in weeks!!

Aww clure hope your arms better soon hun, dp got bloods done a while ago and it was like the doc hit a nerve, he was moaning for days as men do lol

thislittle its hard to hear things like that from friends/colleagues even if its meant well. soz af is so sore, mine was really bad last time too, I feel a bit tender downstairs so maybe its on its way.

peju I did scottish slimmers a few years ago and I am going to start back on Thursday to a daytime class, also doing the wii fit but apparantly tesco is doing wii fit plus for £15 so going to invest in that too. I bet you make your goal for IVF hun you are doing so well just now.

fairy I'm with you on the no af front, I cant remember what cd I am on, just havent checked know I am about 2 weeks late, keep thinking its going to come but no sign as of yet and its so frustrating lol

Hope everyone else is well, soz for long post

hi stac no not long now cant wait. hope your af comes soon. how are u

hi all warning- silly question ahead! Af was not even one day long left with odd pains like cramp crossed with upset tummy pains and feeling sick. Is this normal. Have not had natural af since i was 16 coughs, (perhaps a long while ago) and i dont remember much but i do remember bad cramps with heavy bleed. Now well neither but odd pains as described above. Any ideas gals? Hope all are doing ok x x

Littlesister, is there any way that that could be an implantation bleed?

hey kiwi thanks for replying hun am getting myself very worked up. It could be have never been pg before or had many natural af's i dont know whats going on tbh. On clomid had dribs and drabs bleeding for a day started few days later however did not have these weird pains. Thank you for your thoughts. X

What day of your cycle do you think you're on?

44 the bleed happened on day 36 have cycle length varying(good old pcos) from 33 to longest being 45 am so very confused

I can see why you would be. Sorry I can't shine any light on this. x

thislittlesisterlola, I too have long irregular cycles and this makes it so difficult to try to fathom out what is going on! You have my sympathies. Have you done a pg test? Possible for implantation bleed, clomid has had a funny effect on my periods too (when I do get them?) could be this? Sorry can't be much more help really. Hope you ok otherwise

hi stac, kiwi, millymolly, fairy, peju how are you all? I'm now on day CD25, now beginning to anticipate that awful time of delaying doing a test (presuming my af won't show up on time) hey ho........

thats ok thank you for replying hopefully some light will be shone from somewhere hopefully soon. X

Hey ladies how are you all?

I can safely say af is on its way, cramps are here at any rate lol

thislittle af can be a nightmare, have you tried pg test? although if its an implant bleed it would be too early for a bfp

Hey millymolly I am good thanks, afs on its way, hows the kids? hope your well hun

Hi clure, kiwi, peju and fairy what have you all been up to?
xxx

hey clure how you doing? It is a nightmare irregular cycles. this is first cycle off clomid so i have no idea whats going on. Stac, sorry to hear af is acoming. I wouldnt test yet it makes me too upset/angry. Will give it a week or so see what happens thanks for your help ladies have been feeling quite alone as dp is not so helpful. Hope everyone is well its nearly wkend time x x

well ladies af has disappeared again so doc has upped metformin to 850mg 3 times per day TMI ALERT pink spotting and cramps but nothing has happened sick of it, just want to get back on the clomid to increase our chances, I know you are all feeling the same way so frustrating, how are you all today? xoxoxox

big hug for you stac. Its rubbish isn't it?
thislittlesisterlola hug for you too, I will be testing probably around the same time as you (unless af shows up of course)

hi all xx

Had a really horrible fight with dh yesterday morning, which I can only put down to Clomid, last tablet yesterday. And the fact that he was being stubborn and very annoying. He's back to drinking, but not as much as before. He refuses to believe that it impacts sperm, stupid man, despite me emailing him A LOT of stuff in the news about it - probably because I've been sending him stuff. Believes what he wants to believe.

But I was quite spiteful, and feel bad about it. We've since made up, but I really hate when I get like that.

Aww kiwikat know how you feel hun dp and I had some stinkers while on the clomid give him his due he has been quite good about my mood swings. The drinking thing is a nightmare, I suppose for us we are determined to do everything by the book to ensure bfp but for men they see thier friends drinking and smoking but still having babies so when we say its best if you don't do it they think we're just nagging you cant win. Hope your feeling better now though

Thanks for the hugs clure feel better now, we went to our friends for a bbq and fireworks so had a good laugh, let off a bit of steam.

thislittle you know if you need to vent we are here for you, I have done that today. This month I have tested on 3 seperate occaisions as I kept thinking there was a chance but each time I felt crushed and cursed myself for doing it. Hope its the result you want next week, and dps dream was right for you

take care ladies xoxoxox

Thanks, Stac. You're right, the whole thing is very frustrating. But it's so good to vent on here where I know that so many of you will understand and not question or judge.

Hope you all have lovely Fridays. x

thanks stac your words practically left me in tears. Kiwi i was a an utter pessimistic bitch on clomid. Having a good old moan on here is good for our souls i've decided clure hope your holding up ok. I hate hate waiting! hope everyone is ok dust and hugs x

they are fine. sorry to hear that stac the kids are fine am ok

I had another reflexology session today, we were looking back at my cycle dates and also through her treatment findingds my reflexologist (who is also going through ivf and is very clued up) reckons i may be ovulating late. If this is the case then I will need to watch for signs next week. Its a waiting and wondering game!!
Did a 15k run today-felt brilliant. now I'm a bit tired but summoning the energy to pop round to a friend's house for a girlie night with a few of the girlies. Wine (trying to hold out on that one!!) and thai take away. yummy!!

Clure, I don't know how you do it. I'm humbled.
