TTC - Clomid Part 3

[stac14]

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

Morning all,

Think the clomid monster is back or all the stress (more so now) has come out as a dragon!

I think I'm totally right to be annoyed about the chocolate. But it was the strange behaviour when he got home. Sleeping in the spare room when I was awake when he got in & cleaning the house this morning (bathroom, putting washing on).

Reading this back I should be grateful but we can't afford for him to be splashing out on stuff, he did something I asked him specifically not to do, he tried to cover it up & now he's cleaning (well now he's gone into town to get bread & milk I asked him to get Thur)!

Sorry girls. Just need to vent my anger. Ignore me

goes & sits in the corner rocking, with red face & green steam coming out of her ears

How's everyone else's day going?

fairy its probably a mixture of stress and clomid. Dh probs feels guilty for chocs, the thing he shouldnt have done and going out. My dp is the same, if he does something wrong he cleans lol. Maybe you should go for a walk or long bath. You have had a lot to take in over the past week dont beat yourself up over feeling angry and upset. Its normal. Hope your ok. X

fairy - big hug for you. Stac's right, don't beat yourself up, its been a mega stressful week for you, lots to deal with. A good fast walk sound good. I get rid of my frustrations through running/cycling. hope it all settles down for you.
just off to do more painting before we head off to DD's party

clure hope dd has a great birthday and her party x

Stac & Clure - thanks. I kinda take back the clean as all he did was wipe down the windowsill. I did have a long bath. Have stonking headache so gonna get some fresh air in a sec. DH went out for 2 1/2 hours. I know he came back with food. has spoken to me. Just skulking upstairs again.

It'll be fine later

Hope DD has a fantastic time - sure she will!

fairy did he get your chocs back? Sure you'll be fine hun, enjoy your walk x

fairy sorry you have had such a rubbish start to the weekend. Have you spoken yet?
clure and stac are right you've had a really stressful week.
Take care hun

have a good walk xx

Hi Pops

Went out for a bit but I've a headache again (sinus & tiredness I think - def not anything else as only on day 10). Not spoken yet. I feel I should break the ice but don't know what to say that wont sound snappy or sarcastic!

I'm now curled up on the recliner.

fairy sorry you've had a cr*ppy day, the whole ttc is so so stressful plus as you say the clomid can make you not yourself.

How about 'chilly, isn't it?'. But then again that sounds quite sarcastic!! Just remember, they're big kids. So in the naughty corner maybe?

Hows everyone else, stac how you feeling today?

popsy you holding up ok?

We got rid of DS for the morning (willing grandparents) and as we've just had the lawn returfed and levelled there's a bit of work left to do, so I shifted some gravel and DH helped move our mini-coop and sandpit surround. Dog was delighted - something new to sniff at, well, in a new place anyway and p** on! Boys!

Whats everyone been up to?

My mantra this month - I-will-get-pregnant babydust xxx

I think DH might be having his monthly or just being a little stobborn kid!!!

I know what you mean about being so determind. A friend of mine said the other day that it's nature's way of making sure that this is really what you want. I've never wanted something so much! I've never fought harder or read so much about. I know I def never put this much into my degree (prob why I only got 2:2hons). I think the cons could see how much we want this which was why he#s strated the ball rolling with IVF.

In all honesty what we need is a holiday but we've no money to go anywhere (still aint had our honeymoon yet & we've been married 8 months today!)

Hey fairy hun how you feeling now? Think it is hard for the men too but feels much worse to us as its our bodies that are going through it, even at the moment dp is getting it in the neck between mood swings and panic attacks lol

jo your so right about men being boys lol I am fien thanks, pretty knackered as ds woke me up at 4.45 to ask me the time so I tossed and turned for the rest of the night could have happily choked him lol Hows things with you? loving the mantra, should be the daily chant for this thread

clure how did the party go? are you tired too?

Hows you popsy? thinking of you

Hey to everyone else xxx

Is he normally stubborn fairy? Maybe you could waffle about how rubbish the telly is?
I know what you mean though, i think i've read more on this than anything!Yep also in need of a holiday, somewhere hot and i can lie by the pool all day Keep putting off booking for this year, depending on the outcome of the next 3 months. Going away (in England) at half term for a few days to give us a lttle break.

Hi jo i'm ok thanks. Had a few moments this weekend but they past quite quickly. Went to visit and lay some flowers and DH and i reflected on the last year so much has changed.
How did the party go Clure? Did you survive? My Ds is planning his already, it isn't til May!!!
Hows you stac?

Hello to everyone else, hope you've had a good weekend so far.

Decided not to test today.
I'm in total agreement we ALL will get pregnant baby dust
xxxx

No not usually stubborn. But when we argue he always makes me feel like I'm the one in the wrong & that its so hard on him! I think maybe it is the clomid but a tough week has really just got to me.
I would quite happily go away in England. My friend has offered that we go stay with them in the half term but we can't even afford the coach fare!!! How sad is that?

Hope we can sort it out tonight...

I'm with - I-will-get-pregnant babydust

I am sure you will fairy
Take care hun

xx

hey popsy i'm ok thanks, been thinking of you hun, how are you feeling? I used to struggle with testing too which is why the nurse surprised me with a positive test. Best to wait till your ready chick

fairy my dp is the least stubborn person its usually me that keeps things going and I tend to feel its hard to make the first move lol. We were thinking about a short break in September but apart from being skint the baby will be to young I feel. The only holidays I will be getting will be a day trip to the seaside. Maybe you should try to make half term a time when you shut yourselves away in the house, ignoring calls or visiting people just make some time for you and dh.

Morning,

Less frosty here. He's still asleep so I don't know the full extent of my trying to make it alright.

I'm a bit of a dilemma - I think I'm on the fertile period - the thing is I have my swab being done tomorrow so shouldn't BD - what do I do??????

xxx

Morning all.
Glad things are less frosty Fairy. Hope you have a better day today. Re. your Fertile time, i don't know for certain but i think i would anyway Or you could wait til tomorrow and ask the nurse? Sorry, not much help.

Well ladies, i decided to test this morning. Woke up at 6:30 thinking shall i or not? Woke hubby and he said we need to know one way or another! So i tested and got a BFP we cant believe it. 3+ on a digital pg test
We were tempted to give the clomid a miss last month. I was sooooo close to giving up. Thank god i didnt Wonder if its the metformin? Or reflexology? or Clomid? Maybe all of them.
Thank you soooo much ladies. You have been an amazing support over the last few months. Love you all loads))

Oh popsy that is fantastic news! I am so delighted for you - see, they come in threes!! Such good news.

fairy how do you mean you are on your fertile period - are you going by cm or what? If its cm it sharts showing up 4-5 days before you ovulate, so you've got time. Either that or you change your appointment for a weeks time when you're past ovulation?

Right - heres to the next lot of things-come-in threes babydust xxx

yay popsy i am so pleased for you, thats what i got on my clear blue. Fantastic news you have made my day lol. How are you feeling? Lots of love and hugs for you and your family

Hey fairy maybe a sunday morning bd would defrost things a bit, but as jo says you have days yet. Dp and i weren't really trying when i fell.

Morning jo clure and all the other lovely ladies on here. How was your weekend? Mine has been lovely and quiet, just as i wanted lol

Lots of you will all gat pregnant baby dust *

Thanks jo and stac your words of congrats mean a lot I still can't believe it. I'm supposed to be working and just can't concentrate
xxx

Pops that fantastic news!!!! While you were typing that I was just going over the thread as we're close to having a new one & as I'm bored thought I'd look through it.

Stac I'm going on cm so I'll wait till tomorrow evening to BD. Maybe I'll ask DH what he thinks.

wowwwwwweeeeee well done and congratulations to you popsy. That is so fantastic, knew we were due another bfp here. You must be over the moon

fairy - I would do the bd and re-schedule your nurses appointment. I have to say I don;t remember being told not to bd but there again my "fertile" times were non-existant anyway! Hope you and DD have made up. This ttc is such a strain. take care

stac and jobo - hi hoping you are having a good weekend, its good to relax isn't it? Dd's party was hilarious. She had a great time, it was totally manic. We had a little girl who sat in the party room and wondered why her food wasn't being served, only then did we realise she wasn't one of our party but had wandered in from someone elses. Also had two other friends of a little girl from DD's class who were older (and happened to be at the play centre) and expected that they could come and have party food and face painted even though they were not invited. DD very tired, she had pink and orange paint crusted in her eyebrows, sweaty and worn out! we were a bit tired too! We took here out for a lovely walk and duck feeding/horse watching etc and we are now going to watch a disney movie with popcorn before doing a little birthday tea (as she is at school tomorrow when its her actual birthday)

now I'm wishing you all peanut brittle babydust xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and we WILL all get there xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Clure yeah I guess we'er made up. We talking to each other. He thinks I should get the test done tomorrow & I think a bit of BDing might get us back on track & might be the night to get PG. I don't think I'm actually ovulating till Thursday but could be before.

Glad DD had a fantastic time. I do love kid's parties.

Sunk in yet pops?

Lots of we will all get pregnant baby dust ***

Splendid news, Popsy! Love it each time one of us has this news to share - means there's hope for ME!

Congratulations Popsy.

Haven't had a minute to catch up all weekend, so please now I am having a quiet 5 minutes with a cup of tea to see your news!

I have horrible double standards about this kind of thing, two minutes ago I was having a tantrum about a friend getting pregnant at the drop of a hat and now I am beaming my head off because you are. Somehow people who haven't had it easy "deserve" it more. I agree with Kiwi too, it does give me hope when someone gets a BFP.

Fairy just read the whole DH and Chocolate thing-I am VERY possessive of mine! Glad it seems to be defrosting a bit for you now. Hope the swabs go OK.

Clure the party sounds great-you must be shattered though?

Hi Stac Jobo and everyone else, hope you all had a good weekend.

First day of new job tomorrow-trying to make a good impression (not show the Clomid mood swings and crying in the toilets bit anyhow!), any suggestions how exactly I do this?

We will all get pregnant babydust.....
