TTC - Clomid Part 3

[stac14]

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

Nope not actually baby sitting. My bro popped round to mums with baby as his fiance was doing her own thing. My sister & hubby have gone away to a local hotel for the night as it's their anniversary so mum & dad have their kids. So nice little fam gathering that wasn't stressful!!!

Hope you feel better soon Stac

hi ladies,
stac, hope the scan goes well for you on Wednesday. Get yourself some rest!!
fairy - I have a good feeling about this month for you!
peju - it takes ages for this kind of news to really sink in and feel real, its fab!
jobo - we too had a very quiet NYE, made up for it today as spent the day out with my group of girlfriends having shopping, lunch and a couple glasses of vino. We left the DH's with the kids
popsy - keep up the walking! Such good form of exercise.
millymolly - hows the provera going?

Well ladies af turned up for me today (75 days since last one) on the positive I didn;t need to take provera. Unfortunatley don't have a supply of clomid but have decided to have a break from it this month - feel like I need to give my body a rest from the rollercoaster.

Hi
im looking forward to seeing some more bfp's on here - it looks like we could have a few good chances!
Defo a few strange out of the blue bfp's too!!
Stac - we have told people - unfortunately it would have been difficult to keep it quiet as was off to a family new year eve party - they would have noticed if no wine was drunk!! Also told my closest girlie friends as we were having a late nye party too but they are great and know the struggle i been having only people i wont tell yet are those at work - dont think boss will be happy im the 4th in the department!!
Feeling good today - had bit of sickness yesterday and trapped wind (pleased my oh ) just looking forward to getting to docs and getting dates and scans going!!

Baby dust to you all!!

Stac and peju, its so nice to hear from you, like the others have said, I hope you stick around!

Having my scan tomorrow, (first month of Clomid, CD 14 tomorrow). A bit worried they will say I'm overstimulated as stomach has blown up quite a bit. (Or maybe thats normal-anyone know?). Will keep you posted.

Fingers crossed for a really "positive" new year for us all!

venetia - wishing you luck for your scan, hope it goes well

Hey clure fab news you got af, would you prefer a month off or could you start your clomid later when you get a doctor?

Thanks ven I enjoy posting here as you all know what we have been through to get here, but I dont want anyone feeling over ran with baby talk. But I like being here to offer advice on what we have went through, so here to help if I can lol

fairy I love days like that, sometimes the grown ups complicate things lol Our friends wee yin is 7 months old so she is full of giggles just now, sometimes I feel like I want to do all the stuff for her but cant as I dont want to seem pushy

peju all the waiting about it a pain lol do you have any idea how many weeks you are?

millymolly heres hoping af gets you soon hun, how you feeling about being back on clomid?

jobob hows you?

Is everyone back at work tomorrow? We go back to normal on Tuesday, just as well as DS has a cold too xxx

Stac, thats the good (and frankly annoying thing sometimes about my bro) that I made sure he was making all the main decisions about feeding (not warming the bottle) and changing (still using cottonwool balls instead of wipes) but he was letting me get on with it. My sister is the pushy one - they way she does things is the only and best way. Thats why I love spending time with my niece & nephew on my own. They behave well & do as I asked. DH put the kids down to sleep easily last night & my niece said today that she went to sleep as soon as he asked her. Normally it's murder trying to get them down - especially as they wanted to share the double spare bed at mums rather than him having the single bed in the other spare room!!!

I feel I'm now mad symptom spotting - checking my boobs still hurt (yes they do when press against & look rounder according to DH but is that cos I want to hear that?)
Also some little cramps again too! But like I say only CD18 so it's prob all in my head & too early to tell!

I could do with normality coming back tue - 1 more day please!

Hi all

Well we thought we'd better make the most of the xmas lights and went for a drive round, suprisingly few lights up, but the harbour near us has quite a few restauants and a pub and looked lovely. Not too many others tho, must be something to do with the huge electricity price hike we had this year .

Ven, I thought just like you and felt quite bloated aound ovulation and for all that I only had 2 acceptable and 1 small. This month I only had 1 big one but again felt huge!

I'm a stay at home mum so no work for me, part-time term-time jobs ae like hens teeth here. But then again I'm never still either so I don't know how I would fit work in anyway! DS starts school on Wednesday so peace and quiet then.

fairy yet again we are posting simultaneously (wow what a big word for a sunday night!).

My diet starts tomorrow if anyone wants to join me, we could have a weekly weigh in and see what we've lost?

Have started knitting again to a) stop me surfing all night and to b) stop me picking! Hmmm the knitting diet - wonder if it will catch on!

Night all

That was a scary moment on the scales , should have weighed myself BEFORE christmas and maybe I wouldn't have indulged so much lol!

hey everyone, hows it going today? My wee niece lost her baby today, gutted for her. Also feel guilty too x

Oh stac how awfully sad, sorry but i can't remember you mentioning your niece, was she still pregnant or had she had the baby? I know its hard but you shouldn't feel guilty. Big hugs xxx

Stac - don't feel guilty at all! It's a very sad thing & can happen to anyone. We on here know how cruel life can be!

Jobo - surely simulataneious posting is a good sign lol! How were the scales. I really need to weigh myself again & get on that Wii!!!!

10 days still hosp appointment & day 20 CD. boobs still feel bruised & also firmer??????

I really hope my hopes are not gonna be dashed in a few days!!!!

Big hugs to Stac peju how's it going
baby dust to all **

Hey ladies
Sorry I have a memory like a seive at the moment. My niece is nearly 20 and has been ttc for 2 years (I know theres no way a girl her age should have been trying but what can I say) anyway the docs never took her seriously obviously because of her age. She has very sporadic periods, to be honest I am sure she has pcos. Well just before new years her friend had a dream in which she was pregnant and got her to do a test, she got bfp. According to her lmp she was 8 weeks. She started bleeding on saturday night but it was only when she wiped. We thought it might be a breakthrough bleed but she went to the hospital still had bfp so she got scanned today. They said it looks like she has had a miscarraige, her cervix is still closed. They also told her the blood she is losing is old blood. I havent had a miscarraige before but I assumed you would bleed quite a bit but shes not nor is she in any pain. Sorry for laying this on you ladies but do you have any ideas? xxx

aw stac so sorry. I can't offer any advice on the miscarriage situation, sure someone will come along and offer advice on here.

I'm SOOOOO cold, haven't been warm all day, freezing classrooms. Didn't make my bodypump class as had school work to do, DD was being very exciteable at bathtime and refusing to do anything I asked and so it took ages!
Hope everyone else well, I have taken decision to leave the clomid for this cycle.
Fairy I have got my consultant appointment a couple days after you

throwing lots of babydust xxxx I'm off for a chocolate fix

Stac she obviously has age on her side. I'm really not sure as I've never had one and my auntie was the last person i know to have one like 20 years ago!

Found this on another website:
Your GP or gynaecologist may use one of the following terms to describe your type of miscarriage.

A threatened miscarriage describes bleeding in early pregnancy where your cervix (the opening to your womb) is tightly closed. Your pregnancy should continue if your ultrasound scan shows the heartbeat of your developing baby. An inevitable miscarriage describes bleeding in early pregnancy where your cervix is open, which means your pregnancy will be lost. An incomplete miscarriage describes a miscarriage that has definitely started, but there is still some pregnancy tissue left in your womb. Your cervix is usually found to be open. A complete miscarriage means that your pregnancy has been lost. Your womb is now empty and your cervix has closed. A delayed or missed miscarriage means that although the baby stopped growing and died, you didn't lose any pregnancy tissue straight away. This type of miscarriage usually causes a small amount of dark-brown blood loss. You may get sudden end-of-pregnancy symptoms or you may have no symptoms at all.

Don't know if that helps...

How are you feeling now?

fairy thats great thanks so much for taking the time to look for it for me. I think its been a complete m/c. I am ok just feel so rotten for her. When I was pg with DS her mum m/c so it kind of feels like history repeating itself. Think I just need to let her do what she is doing and offer to be there for her.

Thanks again for the support ladies xxx

stac much as I hate to hold my hand up (although you lot don't know the half of what we;ve been through over the last 5 years, your hair would curl), I miscarried at 8 weeks in the summer, couldn't face the thought of being back in hospital so opted for home management. I awoke to awful pain, like labour pain (really!) and had to go into hospital, my cervix was closed and the pain passed, had awful pain again the next day, went in and again it passed. I was bleeding all this time, some huge clots, it wasn't until about 5 days later I actually passed a little sac the size of a grape. Nobody told me it was going to be so painful! Might not be for everyone, but I had a shock. You niece could opt for a d&c to speed things along, if she hasn't passed anything yet.

fairy bloody scales are broken, they must be, I can't possibly weigh that much . have spent the evening not knitting but looking at this gorgeous 30's house for sale, renovation project but we've done 3 now so no problem there. If it was just us I'd go for it, wood panelling, great views, 6 bedrooms (the dog could have one) and we'd have money in the bank but would have to take DS out of a lovely school and bless him he's been through so much with us the past couple of years. Hoping I've persuaded myself....probably not the best time to be making decisions like that! Must...stay.....away...from....estate....agents....websites....

jobob sorry to hear you went through such a hard time hun. The thing with my niece is they said there was nothing there and are estimating how many weeks she was due to lmp, i thought she may be much less hence the fact its old blood coming from her. When scanned they said it looked like a mc but she has to go back to get hsg levels checked. She hasnt had any pain and to be honest the bloods not reaching a pad (sorry tmi). Thats why we dont understand whats going on. Soz 4 goin on bout it, dont want to drag up memories for anyone.
What diet are you going to go on? Hows the wii fit treating you?
Xxxx

stac As you say it would sound like your niece wasn't as far as long as 8 weeks, that said to be trying for so long only to lose the pregnancy....its heartbreaking.
It seems to be my (and my hubbys) lot these days that we are just going through more than anyone should in a short space of time! Hopefully a new decade will bring better things. But, as the saying goes, that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger and I am certainly very grateful that we have a rock solid marriage.
I'm just going onto a healthy diet and trying to cut down the wheat again. Haven't tried my wii fit recently as DS always wants to 'join in' and gets upset when he can't do the things on there, so waiting until after school starts tomorrow!

2010 new improved babydust xxx

jobob her gp has said its defo a mc but she is going to investigate pcos and check her kidneys as she gets loads of urine infection. Thanks for the advice hun.

I promised i would do wii fit while everyone was out but its sitting under the drawers lol. Defo going to get back into it after wednesdays scan.

How are you all today? Not long till some of you see the cons, do you have a rough idea what you want to talk to them about? XxXx
