[stac14]

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

hi clure how are u and how are u stac

Hi millymolly I am good thanks, still waiting for af, hows you?

You go clure I cant run at all, probs the extra weight I am carrying. How was your take away?

Hey kiwi, thislittle, fairy and peju (hope I havent forgotten anyone) how are you all? Any plans this weekend?

baby dust to all

hi millymolly I'm fine thanks, hows it going for you? Are you waiting for af too?!

stac hi, yes had a lovely evening, I caved in and had a large glass of wine but our take away was yum.

off to the fireworks now, DD says she is a bit scared of the dark, bless her, this will be her first visit to an organised display

have a good rest of the weekend all xx

Great food, great fireworks, Guy Fawkes is one of those wonderful celebrations when there doesn't seem to be any of the emotional stress that comes with Christmas or New Year - if you know what I mean. Hope you all enjoyed it too.

Hi all,
Sorry I have been quiet - inspections at school & general work levels mounting!

still no af CD46! Went to dr on friday - told if nothing by CD60 then they'll induce a bleed. She said I was luck to have cd28s so far especially with PCOS. She told me to chill out & enjoy as much BD as I like.

Another bit of interesting news is that on the system the decision has been made that they will help us if I'm not preg by Jan. So I'm now gonna try to lose the weight I so need to & chill out.

Just been reading the last posts & the arguments have really opened my eyes. I've been much more explosive in my moods - especially with dh! That so answers many questions!!! Thanks girlies!

How is everyone???

Baby Dust

Hey ladies, how are you all? Well like I said the other day thought af was on its way but (tmi warning) I have had nothing more than cramp and some pinky discharge, GP upped my metformin which I started today so we will see how this helps. I like you fairy am taking the plunge to try to loose about a stone by xmas by joining scottish slimmers.

clure I caved at the weekend too, friends came up so we shared some wine was lovely lol

kiwi your so right about bonfire night the only problem is that as soon as it arrives you know xmas is just round the corner, I have been online trying to find good deals for play station 3.

thislittle have you tested yet hun?

Hows the weight loss peju?

Hi millymolly hope your well xxx

hi all sorry havent been about much had and still have family coming over left right and centre at the mo. stac have you tried gamestation? Good on you and fairy were going to be a skinny mini thread soon! I however consume practically my yearly calories over xmas (those xmas food mags should be top shelf to me). clure(dont worry i had a sneaky drinkie too) and kiwi how are we all doing? No news my end do have wk off work though woop x x x

Hi everyone
Hope you're all well. Good on all of you that are losing weight - I've kind of given up as it was too stressful on top of everything else, but I did lose 10lb over the summer so perhaps I won't beat myself up too much! Af should be arriving tomorrow and then I can start my clomid. I've got to take 100mg - I know this sounds a bit daft, but do i take it in one go, or morning and evening? Or doesn't it matter?
Planning my bottle of wine for next saturday as its our 10th anniversary tomorrow, have thoroughly read the clomid leaflet and no mention of avoiding alcohol! Yay!

take care and bucketfuls of baby dust xxx

hey job I do believe you take it all in one go and most people say the side affects are less if you take it at bedtime(this made no difference for me though

you can drink with clomid...well i did! dont beat yourself up at all 10lbs is great

dust and sparkles- its tuesday and we need sparkles!

btw stac the gamestation was for ps3 incase you wondered.

Hi all

diet going well have now lost a stone in 5 weeks!! Aiming for another by xmas although it is the party season so will be harder going to try and up the excercise to make up for any blips!! Actually feel a lot better in myself now and who knows maybe by losing weight it will help us do it natural! Got 2 and a bit to go before IVF acceptance but everytime i reach for he choc i give myself the choice - 5 mins of yummy pleasure or more hard work with a baby at the end - it really works not had choc in ages!!

Im still waiting for a referral letter - stupid me forgot to ask how long it takes!

My dp has started making changes - is it zinc that improves sperm?? gonna get him popping the pills!!

Hope everyone is ok - been a while since we had a BFP so think one must be due on here - fingers crossed for you!

Thanks thislittle, I haven't warned my hubby about possible pmt type side effects! I surely can't bitch in my sleep LOL?!

Peju - fantastic weight loss - you must be losing mine as well - I can't seem to lose any!

yes, zinc is great for sperm, you can get male prenatal vits which has all sorts of good stuff in there. Sperm take 3 months to mature so a good idea to start him on them now so they'll be tip top for next year.

Wow Peju - I'm impressed.

peju wow! Look at you go! Dh has really wound me up this morning already grr he's off and on like a tap- ok rant over dont worry job clomid and i just didnt see eye to eye on the emotional level fingers crossed you'll be ok. Hope everyone is ok. How is clure stac kiwi? Have a good wed x x p.s peter andre is on radio 2 oh my its terrible- just my opinion obv!

Well done peju!!!!!!!! Yep dh said it is Zinc (he's good at this vitamins part!)

I caved on the alcohol & had a few glasses with dh for Sunday dinner.

thislittle - I'm hearing you on the mood swings - I was EVIL last week. Feel a bit more my old self.

CD49 & still no af!

Parents evening this week has thrown the exercise out of the window!

Starting carrot sticks in my lunch tomorrow...healthy snackage!

half way through the week...and yes we need a BFP soon!

baby dust & sparkles (maybe thats the extra we need)***

hi all, peju i sympathise with parents evenings every time i promise myself they wont take over and i'll be serene and collected... Not succeeded yet im sure you have! Glad your feeling bit more yourself. Am exhausted today and rather teechy tbh. Hope everyone is well night night all x x

hi all
well its a another bfn for me. CD33. I'm kind of hoping my reflexologist is right thinking I may ovulate later given that my cycles are so long. We can only hope, will be looking out for signs of ov this week. Will also be ringing GP to find out progesterone levels for the day 21 test. I think I'd prepared myself for bfn so I'm not as upset as last month.
Well done on the weight loss peju
hi to the rest of you xxxxxxxx

Hey ladies how are you all? Sorry I havent been on in a couple of days, have some sort of virus, sore throat etc. Took the first step to loosing that stone by crimbo and joined a diet class today, so good to hear about your fab weight loss peju

Sorry about bfn clure heres hoping cd21 blood come back with a high number

fairy & job I was a demon on clomid so not looking forward to starting them back for that reason but the end result is worth a few arguements lol, I took them at night which kind of lessened the effects.

thislittle I was looking for the best deals on ps3's with games etc ended up going to argos as it was cheaperish, but at least thats one thing off the crimbo list lol, have you started shopping yet?

Hey kiwi how you feeling?

Well have been on the higher dose of metformin now since monday, dodgy tummy is back but that could be the virus, weird signs of af but nothing has happened, I have had lots of cramps generally on one side and a couple of shows of blood but nothing else, any ideas ladies???

Oh while I am here writing this huge long post I saw my first xmas tree in a house yesterday so couldn't believe it, flashing lights and all thought it would be next week before I spotted any at all lol
I'm away now before I type anymore

Evening all

clure so sorry about your bfn. I used to have quite random cycles before having my angel babe, anything from 26-35 days. Last year I had a couple of 32 day cycles and my pee on sticks were positive on day 19, imo a day 21 is too early, maybe day 24 or even later might be more accurate?

Start my clomid tonight, oooh exciting!

stac can't believe you've seen a xmas tree. What is the world coming too!

Must share my ultimate karma - last night, a drunk opened our 6 foot 'Fort Knox' gate, walked 50 foot to our house, peed on it, we caught him and chucked him out. Needless to say I didn't sleep well. This morning though I laughed for ages - we found two car/van keys outside. Might ring the Police lost and found tomorrow, if I feel ike it........hehehe

i love a good piece of karma job tell the police how you found the keys too! good luck with the clomid. stac an xmas tree already oh my! Bought bits and bobs i need to get paid to really go for it as it were- damn these 5 wk months! Hope all is well. Sorry cant advise on metiform have no knowledge clure am so so sorry to hear of your bfn fingers crossed for a good bloods result. Hey fairykiwi and peju hope all is well with you. Must dash sorry for rushed message x

thanks ladies. Have just done my spin class and cycled within an inch of my life, good to get all that frustration out. sod it am now having a big fat glass of wine

Chin chin to that large glass of vino clure!
im full of cold and have to go back to work on monday and i havent done any work boo!
oh well i'll continue to watch somemore crap daytime telly
how is everyone's friday?

hope you feel better soon thislittlesisterlola, its not stopped raining here today, though it didn;t stop me going for my run 10k in torrential rain - mind you i did have the luxury of a soak in a nice hot bath when I got in. DD was happy to go back to school today, her school was closed yesterday due to heating problem. It was lovely to have her home though!!

baby dust to all xxxxxxxxxxx

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

hey clure a 10k in the rain, i am full of admiration if i as much even contemplated doing that i would need a lie down and a stiff V and T... with lime please... ooh what a good idea.
anyhow... stac i totally sympathise (V and T with lime?) it could well be a false alarm and no you are not a bad person if anything i think you sound concerned for your friend but it is not a nice situation for you or her to be in. I hope all get sorted.

P.s does anyone else think alexander armstrong is a little hot? or have i had too much vodka in that tonic for an evening drinkie?

hey thislittle Just spoke to friend again, she says she doesnt know if her sis is pg as she cant afford to buy a test (kind of shows how bad it is) but she had to get laser treatment done last month for pre-cancerous cell so she stopped her pill for her 7 day break last saturday but only had a bleed for a day and is due back on her pill tomorrow so think she may be panicking. Whos alexander armstrong? going to google right now lol, hows the v, t & lime? seriously considering that myself lol xxx
