TTC - Clomid Part 3

[stac14]

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

Thanks Jobo - oh she absolutely fine - bouncing little girl born 11 months after she lost her little boy, she's now 10 months old (OMG! How time flies).

Phoned cons today & he thinks I'm on the right dose to get preg & thinks it will happen. Thats now the cons, my brother, my best friends hubby & my bro's f-i-l that has said that they think it's going to be us very soon. Very mystical! lol.

Going by getting Af on Tue night/Wed means that it's def gonna be xmas morning in bed!!!! Day 10 by then lol.

I'm much more positive this evening but xmas party at school went very well. Nearly an hour I was dancing with the kids - hope the weight will come off now!

baby dust sprinkled with icing sugar ***

fairy its a small world, your friend must have lost her baby boy around the same time I lost mine (last march).
Glad you got hold of your consultant and you're feeling more positive. I'll be ovulating on christmas eve so still a chance of a xmas pressie but definitely not doing anything in bed in the morning - DS will see to that at about 5am I should think! Well done keeping up with the kids - I normally migrate to the wall for the entire hour.
take care, keep wrapped up well this weekend!

Jobo - yes it was march last year. It was a horrible time as I was so far away. She text me while in labour to say he'd become an angel! I just didn't know what to do. I couldn't make the funeral because I couldn't leave work so a few days later I managed to get u[p to see her & we sprinkled his ashes in our own private ceremony.

The good thing about having no kids (at the mo) but bro-in-law is staying for the week as he works nearby & can get in & out of work easier but DH thinks he's working xmas morning so we can be as loud as we like lol!!!!

Yep I'd be happy for a belated xmas prezzie! lol

Yep keep warm as the snows supposed to hit here soon - no sign yet!

Peppermint cream baby dust **

fairy my baby just stopped moving 10 days before my due date, they induced me and when he was born they found a knot in the cord. I really feel for your friend losing her baby in labour, how cruel to get so close. I know she will really have appreciated you making the effort for her. I have friends who have gone on to have babies following loss and they're stuggling with the questions about 'baby's first christmas' thinking how it should have been so different. Give your friend a hug from me. I don't think an hour goes by that I don't think about my little one .

Re xmas morning lol - just so long as you don't have close neighbours or scare the cat?!

We rarely have snow, but sleet is forecast. yeuch.

mint aero baby dust xxx mmmm mint aero.....

big hug for you jojo and fairy.
A big fat mars bar topped blob of baby dust xx

Morning all,

No school for as no school! Holidays start here lol!

jobo - my friend's little boy strangled himself as he moved down the birth canal. Last year for his first xmas I sent her a special card for him as I did for his first b'day this year. I also send up balloons with little messages on. We both have silly conversations with him.
There's only a few people she'll talk about him too. It has taken her a long time to come to terms - especially as she got preg really quick afterwards. I think she has mixed emotions at times & for her to see how bad I am at times with the wanting she's very supportive & understanding. I think it'll make me paranoid about the cord when we come to have a baby. They gave her a CS a week before due date to make sure it turned out good in the end.
I kinda understand how you feel as I went through it with her - the text messages in the early hours & all her pain of losing the baby she so wanted. I would have taken her pain if I could!

So sad for you! I'm hoping 2010 is the year for us girlies. It's gotta happen soon!

As we're not preg yet I'm send Bailey's flavoured fairy dust

oopse - so excited I meant to say No school cos of snow!!!!

Think that Bailey's baby dust got to me lol lets hope it sticks *

hi all how u doing hopeing my af comes next week so i can take my clomid. am hopeing it works this time like the last time i have two and half year old twins they are my little darlings. i feel preg on the second month with them the doctors sayed they can not see why not but it might not be that fast this time. is anyone on thier second time are round. am geting worried. as long as they come on time af. i have my scan thing to see if i have any mature eggs on the 31th dec new years eve what a day to have it.

clure thank you hun

fairy what a truly wonderful friend you are . I've had time to deal with the worst of my grief but then had to contend with not getting pregnant when it took 3 months last time! Swings and roundabouts! Someone told me 'your heartache will never go, you just get better at coping with it'.
DS said to me this morning (and he hasn't asked this for a long time) when are you going to have another b-a-b-y (as if spelling it takes the sting out of it lol). Better than the time he asked me if i had a baby in my tummy and I had to tell him, no its just fat hahaha. Bless. He does make me laugh sometimes.

Yes, we had snow here (about 3 flakes) and it brought chaos. I didn't even know it had snowed in town and my 10 min trip to the supermarket took one hour! We finished school on wed.

hi millymolly, only my first time with clomid, but wanted to say hi. Fingers crossed AF comes on time.

Baileys baby dust indeed ! xxx

Milly I'm on cycle 5!!!!!! But my first time on clomid as we don't have any children yet (except the 22 I see in term time lol)!

Jobo - I've heard that about grief. I'm not convinced you get better a dealinmg with it, I think you start to give a new spin on it. t took my friend 6 years to fall preg naturally but she now says he let her know her body worked fine, it made her husband realise he was ready for fatherhood, we've now got an angel in the family (her son & my godson - not many people can say they are godmother to an angel) & she wouldn't have the fantasticly cheeky little madam she know has & treasures every moment with.

My friend & I have many convos about motherhood & that & have decided that women who try so hard to be parents are the best parents. We appreciate them & yes kids can be trying at times, but being a teacher & watching how some ch are dragged up, spoken to & treated is awful & you know you'd never treat your ch like that!

Aww bless DS. My little niece wants to know when I'll be giving her a girl cousin as my brother just had a boy. My nephew, who is 2 1/2, gets totally freaked out by preg women - he thinks they've eaten a baby & gives very dirty looks!!!!

keep the baileys baby dust flowing!!!!

hi all

millymolly, this is my second time (although on cycle 4) with clomid, I had clomid to conceive my DD who is nearly 5, that time the clomid worked first time....seems to be taking a little longer this time. hope you get af soon so you can get on with the clomid x

Fairy, I can't even begin to imagine how your friend feels, its terribly sad. hope you enjoyed the extra days hols, as I don;t work fridays i feel a bit cheated!!

jobo and stac - big wave to you

Still not sure if I've ov but am bd-ing just to be sure, DH isn't complaining though. Had a lovely day with DD made a fab snowman and then spent the rest of the day having a long lunch with friends whose childrne are also DD's friends so a good time had by all

sprinking of festive babydust and maltesers

Ah but Clure, you got an extra holiday with DD.
The weird thing about my friend is that it's just a part of our lives now. We can't really remember the time before that. Although we do joke she had a longer pregnancy than an elephant! lol. Thats cos she was almost preg back to back!

Snow was lovely - had a lovely lunch with my parents (they are giving it another go) & watched by niece & nephew playing in the snow!

Keep up the BDing. DH is complaining now cos we did it so regularly last month he feels he's missing out. Hopefully only be a few more days. So CD3 for me!

Another glass (possibly bottle) of baileys baby dust! **

Evening all, lucky clure and fairy finished school already, DS doesnt finish till next Tuesday. Do you two know each other in "real life"? lol

jobob and fairy was so sad reading your posts about your little angels, fairy your a great friend and jobob you are so strong.

Good luck with all the bding, dp is begining to think he is surplus to requirements as we havent been bding regularly due to how tired I am think. Think he feels as if I dont need him anymore, it is honestly tiredness lol

millymolly I wasn't on clomid when I fell pregnant, I was taking metformin.

Whats the plans this weekend? Dp friends dad died so the funeral is tomorrow, I'm not going as tomorrow is the anniversary of mums death so think it would be a bit much in my hormonal state. (soz for downer in post)

Who has snow? It snowed for about 2 hours yesterday then stopped so we have black ice, hoping it snows again, DS and DP love it lol
Take care xxxx and mmm to baileys baby dust

hi stac,
yes fairy and I teach at same school but completely came across each other by accident on this thread - how coincidental is that? Its tiring the first few months of pregnancy, bit of a shock for the body! I remember those and the last month being REALLY tired. We off to panto tomorrow (yikes!!) Hope DD will enjoy it, she usually doesn;t do noisy situations too well

oh yes and we've had tons of snow!

Love panto clure, so jealous about snow lol. Wow small world eh? Bet you both didnt expect that when you joined mumsnet. X

Hi Stac - how you feeling today?

Very small world - very weird as neither of us knew the other was trying or on Clomid. lol. So at least we have a mini support network almost on hand when need be. We normal sneak a quick convo when no-one else is around. Gotta say with most of the preg people at work off last week & was an easier week. I know we can't ban them (lol! That would be so funny - "Oi, you can get preg easily, out! lol!) but it was nice to have a little break!

Well I've prob got 2 weeks break...

Yep a ton of snow & it's now turning to ice - really don't want to be stuck indoors today as have things to post & bills to pay!

Plus I'm doing pre-conception nesting (just made that up!) as I've been cleaning out all the kitchen cupboards since 7am this morning. My body isn't used to 'hoiday' mode yet & I needed to clear all the crap out!

Have a good day (((hugs for Stac)))

Keep that bailey's baby dust flowing

hi stac

I can't believe another funeral so soon - I don't blame you for having a 'me day' to remember your mum's anniversary, big hugs.

Hopefully in a couple of weeks you'll be feeling better as the placenta takes over.

we have snow! It won't last, never does over here but DS is delighted. That will allhange when he realises there is not enough for a snowman or even snowball. The most we can hope to get out of it is checking that the loft is well insulated!!

clure enjoy your panto, DS doesn't like noisy things either (apart from himself!) at the air display we bring ear defenders!

snowy babydust xxxx

Hi all,

As of this morning thats all the preg women in my family had theirs - thats my nephew & cousin born 10 days apart. I recieved a text from my 'Auntie' at about 6am to say she's had her little girl. Is it me or is birth weights smaller again. Thats my nephew at 6lb 4oz & my cousin at 6lb 11oz! We were all 8lb-ers when we were born & so was my other nephew & niece!

How's everyones weekend? We made it down to town yesterday but was there hours & was a struggle getting back up the hill as the snow is now a sheet of ice!

Clur how was the panto?

Stac how you feeling today?

Jobo how's the snow?

Afternoon,

Fairy-sorry to hear about your friend. Hope you and she are doing OK.

So nice to drop in again, glad everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit.

Hoping to start my first lot of Clomid on 23rd if all goes according to plan and then spending Christmas with my DH and his family including MIL.

I wondered if any of you had any advice-how do you cope with people who insist you have a drink? MIL is keen on a glass of wine, any refusal in the past has lead to conclusions being drawn and telling her I'm not pg then leads to a whole conversation I don't want to have (again) with her. She's lovely in many ways but breathtakingly tactless. Am really trying to keep the peace (well someone in the family will have a row with her, just trying to make sure its not me).

Feel down, not sure if its being under too much stress or that its my second christmas without dad, can't really get used to the fact he won't be there. Silly really, I am a grown up after all.

Ah well, glittery baby dust all round then?

Ven you could possibly have 1 glass or even water it down with lemonade or Tonic (say you fancied an old fashioned Spritza as it's xmas).

Christmas is a nightmare with fam...We're spending it just the two of us with DH's bro joining us after he's finished work. Then I'm popping into to see my niece & nephew in the evening so the can have their presents before they get a ton on Boxing day.

It's Boxing Day I'm not looking forward to - It'll be my sister & her fam, my parents, my bro & the new baby, his in-laws, mum's sister & her DH & my nan...sure enough I'll have the pity faces cos I aint preg yet, have to listen to baby talk all day & then get the constant stmpathy that it'll happen soon...Thats the day I'm dreading!!!!!

Must be hard not having your dad around.

Why do we do this to ourselves - especially us who need to keep stress levels down!!!!

I'm having a fab chill out today - no school work. Played Mario Kart for a bit & maybe have Singstar or Buzzz in a little while!

Bailey's baby dust for all
***

Hey ladies sorry for not being on.

fairy I am much better today although morning sickness came back with a vengence, sounds like your having a ball today. We are at DP's mums on xmas day and my family on boxing day so not a quiet xmas for us either but to be honest I love it lol

jobo thanks for the hugs hun, It was a bit of a nightmare having 2 funerals so close, but I chose not to go, thought it would have been a bit false of me as I would have been thinking about mum. Hows you? and the snow. It snowed here but not much we are expecting it to get worse tonight.

clure how has your weekend been?

ven I did drink while ttc, not to excess of course but if it was a special occaision or af had just came then I did get drunk but I think its personal choice. Your right people dont understand your reasons for not drinking they think your purposely being anti-social.

Hey millymolly hows you?

loads and loads of choclate covered baby dust to you all *

oops soz for spelling mistakes meant chocolate lol

hi stac am fine just keeping my fingers crossed for my af to come on weds. hows are u

Hi everyone

Ven I think the odd glass whilst you are ttc wouldn't hurt, the odd time I've drunk I just made sure it was well before ovulation (don't know if that medically makes a difference but I persuaded myself!). Could you say that you are on antibiotics or something, or that you've had a skinful over the last week with all the xmas parties and can only face one glass? When I was 2 months pregnant with DS1 over xmas, my late mil actually kept asking if I wanted a drink - we hadn't told everyone and I had to keep refusing, but then again she also smoked around me and in the car so she obviously came from a different era!
Sorry to hear about your Dad, I think how we feel or how much we miss people is nothing to do with being grown up or how long since loss, you are entitled to feel what you feel, for as long as you do.

fairy pre-conception nesting!Love it! There is times i just want to get a big skip and clear everything out!

stac no snow, just drizzle now, but at least its warmed up.

thislittle you've been a bit quiet, hope you are ok.

a bit early I know but I'd like to stick with Baileys babydust today! xxx
