TTC - Clomid Part 3

[stac14]

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

OMG! What a day - DH & I had a huge row today! He didn't talk to me for hours. To cut a long story short we were helping my sister & kid's to my parents house & they had their sledge but didn't like going up hill so I suggested to DH to put all the bags on the sledge including the one with the breakable present in it. He decided to carry the sledge so the present bag toppled off & smashed. I ripped into him & he shouted back & so I stormed off cos I burst into tears!!!! I never cry when we argue!!!!! the worst thing was trying to stop my tears in front of the kids! he then stormed past me to my parents & then refused to talk to me for 4 hours!!!!

Stac just got in from my parents so haven't checked the fridge/freezer yet.

Oh fairy poor you! What an awful day. Are you talking now? Sorry, I'm never very good at knowing what to say for things like this, hope you're ok now. Big hugs xxx

Hi Jobo
Yeah, he came over to me like 4 hours later & said he loved me & was being all touchy-feely with me!
I think I was angry at him for a few seconds, if he'd let me snap at him & let me storm off things would have been solved but he bit back (so unlike him) which made me burst into tears (I'm soooo not that sort of girl - I'm soft in the centre but very few people get that deep). Which in turn made me close up & get more mad at him! And then I couldn't really sort it out cos all the fam were around.

Thanks for your little message. I just needed to get it off my chest!

my first clure the last time i was on it i got preg on the second month with my twins they are 3 in june.

There must have been something in the air today fairy dp and I had a row today too, it was over the bloody dog. DS tripped over the dog (dogs fault sprawled all over the place wee bugger) and DP shouted at DS so I got stuck into him. Was so mad as DS hadnt meant to do it and DP was being so unreasonable. Told him to f**k off of course he came back and appologised to ds and me.
I am like you in the sense I never show emotions unless its in front of people who know me well, suppose its the control freak in me.
Sure the 2 of you will be fine and will sort it out, hope your ok and are feeling better now. xxxx

Thanks Stac - I'm a total control freak - best job being a teacher I suppose!
Thats why I'm finding this TTC so difficult! I'd be fine if it was up to me to get myself pg & I knew what was going on!!!!
I think I'm gonna really lay it on the line with Cons on Thu & let him know I need better care & not so long between app (I hope he listens). I need to know if & when I'm ovulating.

well boobs still hurt & cold is still raging (Vit C does not prevent colds!!!!)

Think I'm gonna god to bed and forget about today!

baby dust & hugs all round

massive hug for you fairy and stac

hoping the clomid fairy sprinkles her magic dust to us all xxxxxxxxxx

Hi all. Sorry you had such a rubbish day fairy. Glad it got all sorted out. Men can be so strange!!

I got my AF today and for the first month for as long as I came remember it actually came exactly when it should, so the Clomid is doing something!!! Gonna try taking it at night this time and hopefully the headaches and nausea won't be so bad.

Getting myself geared up for round 2 today!! Gonna take my dogs for a long walk in the snow!

Babydust xxxxx

geezette he clomid has given me 28 day cycles (all bar one) so I know it's working for me in that respect! I usually take 1hr-30 mins before going to bed.

Oh this weekend is getting worse - fridge freezer has packed up so emergency dash to parents this morning to get my frozen bits in till we can get a new one (can't actually afford it - was sobbing my heart out again this morning)!!! This is now where I';m thankful for the weather cos the milk can go out in the snow lol!!!

How's DH today Stac?

We're still not talking properly but thats prob cos I've been sorting out the freezer & he didn't even realise I'd gone out!!!!! My best friend just text to say she's had a blazing row with DH cos she asked him to change & dress the baby & he said it's her job!!!!! That house must have a major atmosphere today!

Hugs & baby dust

thanks clure i was fine after ten mins, then last night my sis came up so the 2 of them got drunk, needless to say i wasnt happy. Men! Lol

fairy i totally agree you should take charge of the situation with the cons. Take a list of questions or worries you have. You should have a better response from them as its your first, we got the rough end of the stick as i have ds. I can understand why but didnt make it easier at the time. If the weight loss thing arises stress how hard you have been trying hun. Oops theres the control freak in me coming out lol

geezette i defo found less side effects at night, hot flushes were quite bad but it was easier to put up with than the other side effects. Dp wanted to buy me a fan in the middle of winter haha. Hope its better to you this month. What monitoring are you getting while taking clomid?

Hi to everyone i have missed. Hows things with you? All good i hope. Xxx

Stac for some reason I lose weight better when I'm at work - I don't snack in the hols or anything, I just don't think I'm as active as when I'm on my feet all day with the kids! There's only so much wii fit you can do!

So not liking this hormonal crying this month!!!!

Hugs & baby dust

Hi all, sorry to fairy and stac about the rows. Was flat out on the sofa yesterday with the worst headache, very nearly in the same position as you but DH was understanding-fortunately he puts everything down to my clomid induced mood swings, even when I'm clearly being totally unreasonable.

Am tormenting myself-trying to spot symptoms that I really know aren't there. Have sore boobs and some minor stomach cramps-too early to be AF, usually pretty regular, and the weird headaches whcih have been on and off for about a week.

Just discovered the fertility monitor doesn't work if you are on Clomid, was just assuming hadn't ovulated. Now I know I might have am obsessed with how early I can take a test (today is day 20). Know I am being nutty and trying not to go on at DH, as he is even less likely than me to know if there is anything to be hopeful about-neither of us has any kids, so no experience.

New torment is reading the pregnancy threads about early symptoms and how early people knew.....arghhhh.

Oddly the most hopeful thing all week was the receptionist at work (who I hardly know) who stopped me on my way in on Friday to say she had dreamt I was nearly 9 months pregnant, sure DH thinks I'm bonkers but it made my day. (Clomid mood swings still in full force then!)

Sparkly baby dust...

Probably should have said sore boobs isn't uncommon before I get AF, headaches are a mystery, don't usually have so many, or so bad?

ven sounds all possitive to you hon, especially with the dream. I on the otherhand is still symptom spotting too. More niggles this morning & boobs still sore.
CD26 here. Think I'm just gonna hold out till we as I know it's prob too early plus thats the day before hosp app.

Lets see where today takes me

Baby dust

Fairy have my fingers crossed for you. Have looked back over the thread and it sounds like there's cause for hope for you.

I am going to try to occupy myself as obsessive reseach is making me nuts and checking if its snowing yet is also driving me insane, we are supposed to have heavy snow today, really don't want another day snowed in at home like last Weds, the novelty wore off very quickly. Think I need to go and cook the sunday lunch, as distraction...

Ven - the reserch is doing my head in - damn Google!!!! lol. I have locked all the baby books away in the spare room cupboard! I think I'm gonna dedicate the time being to losing weight.

It's on & off snow here but unless we have major snow over night I think it's back to work tomorrow!

Sunday Lunch sounds delicious!

hi everone on my second day of clomid. get really bad crap and really bad sore heads. but its worth it. didnt get any of this the last time that was 3 years ago. hope everone is doing ok. i have my scan on the 19th jan to check my eggs

Hi Stac, I had a day 10 scan last month but am not having any other scans. Also had progesterone blood tests, and am having another one this month. Nurse said if this months bloods showed I ovulated again then wouldn't have any more tests and they would leave us to keep trying on our own till our next appt in June. Is that normal?? They think I am only ovulating from one side, so thought they may do another scan this month but we weren't offered on .

Hope everyone else is okay today xxx

Hi Ladies sounds like a few have had a fiery weekend! Hope you have made up now. I blame everything on clomid! Although my moods are vile CD 6-10ish

CD26 for me and no symptoms at all so not too expectant (excuse the pun) this month. Starting to wonder if it ever will be???

Started a new job last week and have so much on with getting to grips with it all i'm hoping that will keep me occupied. Do you know that feeling where you just feel its all gunna end in tears? DH is saying that its all looking positive as i ov later and the follicle grew bigger etc. I know i must remain positive, just a little scared of getting too positive-further to fall.

Sorry for the moan.

Hope you are all ok. fairy your symptoms sound very exciting. When are you going to test?
I'm making toad in the hole (one of DS favourites) and raspbery and white choc cheesecake for dinner.
So raspberry and white choc cheesecake baby dust to you all
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ps just had a thought sneak into my head, what would i now do without all you ladies? You have been so much support and relief for me over the last few months. Its bizarre as i wouldn't know any of you if i walked part you in the street! Thought i'd share that random thought
xxxxx

fairy dont want to get your hopes up hun but you sound eerily like me with the symptoms, I had a stinking cold, felt very crampy to be honest just really out of sorts. I really hope this is your month. Hows things with Dh now you any better? DP took me out shopping think he felt guilty (good) so got a pair not maternity jeans and a shirt from new look for the bargain price of £15

ven I got some stinking sore heads with the clomid but I have also had some sore ones since falling pregnant so you never know. Also friend had the pregnancy dream which made her test and she got bfp

popsy try not to get too disheartened, it took about 2 months for me to fall using the metfmormin, also if you feel nothing is happening ask to get the metformins dosage upped

geezerette I got bloods done cd21, 28 and 35 but no scanning but they did this every month think this was on cons request, I dont know how they can think your only oving at one side without checking it out. They are terrible for making assumptions buggers lol

millymolly clomid is a nightmare do you take yours at night? I defo felt this was the best way to avoid a lot of these side effects

Totally agree with you all that the internet is not always great as it gives too much info, and can freak you out so I try to stay away not always easy lol

Hey jobob clure kiwikat and pink how are you all? xxx

Hi everyone

yes totally agree the internet is the devil's playground!

Hope everyone is ok, fairy stac hope you've all kissed and made up, life is too short to stay mad for long (the most I had was an arguement with DS over his constant mess - doesn't really count does it, apart from you can't win with a 5 year old lol!)

Feeling rather toasty tonight but I've had 2 days of clomid so I think that's why. I take mine at night and don't seem to get anything else besides.

popsy I understand exactly where you're coming from. A more mature follicle is good tho. Fingers crossed and good luck with your new job. Email me anytime (())

ven stay away from the early sypmtoms threads! (See my earlier comment re internet!)

milly you are a day behind me, I get my scan on the 18th.

How is everyone else?

Going with the raspberry and white choc babydust xxxx

Thanks jo will do
I meant to add to my post that, like most of us, search the internet for success stories, other threads, research, pros cons etc etc the list is endless! It didn;t do me a scrap of good. Chatting to you ladies has been more use I also make notes in my diary of symptoms etc so i can look back to see if thats how i felt last month etc, not sure thats a sgood thing either!
I haven't had many symptoms this month, besides backache for the last week or so so sure if its related. Maybe its the metformin doing its stuff, who knows!!

Cheesecake was scrummy naughty but very nice
xxxxx

Hi all,

Pops - understand totally - where would I be with out you all. We keep each other going no matter how we're feeling ourselves. It's testiment that two of you are now pg & still here - we must have a strong bond! i really feel like everthing is getting on top of me & the fridge/freezer seems to be the straw that broke the camels back! I'm sure it will happen for you soon! I'm on cycle 5! I also note in my diary EWCM, niggles, spotting, migranes, panic attacks etc!

I also love toad in the hole!

Stac I do hope you are right. A friend of mine ask why my status on fb was 'AAARRRGGGHHH!!!' to which I replied about the fridge/freezer & a row with DH & she replied it's cos you are preg!!! I replied back that I haven't tested & she's not that close that she knows the ins & out of whats going on so maybe thats my spooky thing like the dreams - but maybe I'm getting my hopes up!

Jo Yep we have kissed & made up - much more as 1 than we were this morning. He's still not talking about yesterday so I'm just gonna leave it.

Hi everyone else - how are you all?

hi all

fairy - very promising girl!! Do you think you might test before your cons appt? Glad you made up with DH, mood swings are awful. A freind of mine who is ttc also has her cons appt on Thursday. Still waiting to hear if schools open tomorrow!!

popsy - keeping a kind of diary is really useful. I printed off calendar for each month to plot my irregular cycles/clomid/BD/AF etc its really helped especially when you have a consultant appointment

geezette - I've been given the clomid and had one day 21 progesterone otherwise left to get on with it. The progesterone test was useless for me as my cycles are SO LONG and irregular. iIt really varies from health authority.

millymolly - hope your symptoms have eased now

hiya stac, ven, jobob, kiwi, and anyone I've forgotten

had lovely day, took DD out sledging (without a sledge but armed with a tea tray!) although we did have a go on some freinds sledge who were out with us. What an adrenaline rush, got up some speed I can tell you!! We got so cold and wet and took us ages to warm up!

here's hoping this week brings some good fortune xxxxxxxxxxx

clure thats what we always used as kids, that and the crates bread was delivered in, my sil took the kids sledging today I would have loved a go but dp said its too dangerous, I know he's right but still felt like a petulant child lol

fairy before I got bfp I went to my friends and we were having a couple of drinks but I felt so sick, actually threw up. She said 'you better do a test, last time you were like this you were pg with ds' sure enough she was right, some people are good with these things.

jobob yeah we kissed and made up not long after the fight really, poor ds thought it was his fault as he had tripped over the dog so that took some smoothing over, hes fine now though. Hows things with you? Your right you have no chance of winning a fight with a 5 year old, I struggle to win with a 10 year old

off to bed ladies have kitchen and bathroom fitters in tomorrow so need all my strength not to strangle one of them lmao nite xxx
