TTC - Clomid Part 3

[stac14]

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

I must have been typing as you posted jobo. I was impressed at 24mm my last follicle that popped (2nd round clomid) only got to 17mm so i'm hoping it's a good sign! They said theyll discuss what to do if i haven't ovulated by tomorrow as it'll be CD23 (i think )

Hey ladies
sorry it took so long for me to get on have been at my aunts. The scan went great baby was waving away and wriggling about. They gave us a bit of a scare though as it looked like the membrane of the womb was stuck to its back so 2 sonographers checked us over, luckily it was just being a lazy wee bugger and lying down. Hearts beating strongly and skull has formed as it should. Have pis so will get it uploaded as soon as I can. Thanks for all your support I was so worried as soon as she said there was a heartbeat I cried what a sap. Not caught up on the thread yet so will do that then get back to you xxxx

stac great news! I was getting a bit worried as we hadn't heard from you (my turn!). Its lovely to see them, isn't it? Thats put a smile on my face for the rest of the night xxx

Really glad it all went so well for you stac, i hope thats put your mind at rest. It really is a beautiful and emotion sight, so you are completely forgiven for blubbing.

xx

Stac thats great news! I can't wait for the day when I get to blub at a scan!!!

Ah well. CD1 altho' that might explain the slightly irrational (only slightly mind you) emotional feelings over the last few days. Last month of clomid so I'll have to see tomorrow what will happen next when I book my scan, don't know if they will just re-issue another 3 months worth or if I'll have to see the cons.

Made a snow man with DS today and the dog, to teach us a lesson for not letting him out did a poo, pee (he can go for at least 4 hours when he wants), nicked DS soft toy orang-utan, nicked my knitting out of my bag and then ate the last of the chocolate xmas tree baubles (how an animal with no opposable thumbs can open wrappers intact is beyond me!). He's like a naughty child! Most upset with him!

Hi all, I hope you don't mind me joining in your thread. I know you are a long way through!

My partner and I have been TTC for about three years with no luck. I am on my first cycle of Clomid on CD26, so have a few days left before testing.

My question is, is it normal to feel so different on Clomid. I have been having bad stomach cramps, headaches and breast heaviness for the last week or so but I am pretty sure am not pregnant - would be good if I was obviously! Also feel quite nauseous - but i'm thinking that its due to nerves - now we are under the infertility clinic am finding things even more stressful! Would be grateful for any help with others symptoms!

Lots of babydut for us all!

Welcome Geezette the more the merrier! Unfortunately the symptoms sound like clomid hun. The symptoms are so similiar to pregancy ones its so annoying!! Although it is quite common to conceive on the first month

jobob sorry Af arrived. It doesn't get any easier does it? Sounds like you've had a fun day though Whens your cons appointment?

stac how long did it take you to loose some weight with metformin? Its not coming off me

Scan today went well. Follicle is collapsing, so ovulating . Blood test next week to confirm.CD23 today and have back ache, a few cramps and full, tender boobs! Its all good fun isn't it ladies?

Had a snow day today

How is everyone else??

Hi geeze nice to meet you!

popsy no, it doesn't get any easier, I've got the 2nd anniversary coming up in March and I'm already feeling that downhill slide. I'll have to see what they say about the cons, I'll have a scan on day 12, but if I need to see the cons for more clomid I'll have to go private, that takes about a month otherwise it will take about 3 months and i'd rather not waste that time.

Your follicle sounds good, they just give me a jab to make me ovulate - problem solved! Funny how its all different depending where you are.

Snow day tomorrow as well, going a bit stir crazy tho. DS is making little snowman cards and bookmarks and trying to sell them for £1.50! Won't take pretend money either!

Whats everyone else up to?

Your son sounds adorable. He will be the next alan Sugar
it's the first anniversary in a little over 3 weeks. So I know how you feeljobob. I'm dreading it. I don't think february and July will ever be the same again

Hoping for another snow day tomorrow!!

Xxx

popsy I was going to message you privately but it won't let me, would you mind changing your options so I can? x

hi all

welcome geezette - you never know, I conceived first clomid cycle last time. Good luck

stac - great scan pic x

jobo - sorry af got you. Your post about your dog made me laugh though! I asked my consultant last time about injection to help ovulate and its not the done thing here - only if you are doing assisted conception under a fertility clinic will they do that at our nhs hospital.

popsy - its sounding positive for you

fairy - have you enjoyed your day off?

DD off school too so we built a snow man but she was so traumatised by the disappearance of her last snowman called freddy (just before xmas) that she wasn;t keen to build another!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

clure poor DD! DS has forgotten what happened to his snowman last year and we didn't have enough snow before xmas to make a snowball! We adopted the dog 6 months ago, just when you think you've solved the house training issue he does something like this! He is very lovely aside from that and loves his cuddles.

Anyone who needs help over here gets referred to the assisted repo unit at our only hospital, so maybe thats why. I'm still linked to my cons, because of my history he is keeping a close eye on my progress. In fact they're fantastic like that over here, when i do get pregnant I'll have monthly scans and I can get induced at 38 weeks.

jobo sounds like you are in very good hands x

Hey ladies, thanks for the comments about scan. Have to admit baby does look very long but DS is very tall so maybe its just the way I make them lol.

jobo sorry af got you hun, glad your getting decent care through your cons. Dog sounds like mine punishes you when it suits him, what kind is it?

Welcome geezette I am currently the threads success story. I hated taking the clomid too got loads of side effects but for me it didnt do the trick (I am in the minority so dont worry) Good luck on ttc

popsy I started august and but the time I stopped in October I was around half a stone lighter, has the side effects calmed down?

Poor DD clure how are you?

fairy you feeling any better luv?

Hope everyone else is well. hot chocolate and whipped cream covered baby dust
