TTC - Clomid Part 3

[stac14]

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

morning ladies and happy burns day how are we all today? Haven't caught up with all the thread but hi to evryone

popsy we thought i was further on than i was due to the pcos, my dates reckoned 9wks but scan said 7+4wks. So we told close family and friends, made everyone keep quiet till 12wk scan then i put the pic on my facebook, so the cats out of the bag now lol. Like you i was very nervous about telling the kids but sil told stepson so i had to tell ds, was quite annoyed at the time. I'm so happy for you. Loved the look on dp's face when i told him, don't think you believe it at first do you?

clure time doesnt half fly in, stepson goes to high school this year which is scary probs as he seems so young. Think i felt moredown bout ds turning ten than i did bout turning 30 lol

ladybird have been through loads with the ladies it felt only right to go through the good part together too. It is ridiculous how long you have to wait to reffered to a fertility specialist. I'm sure you will get bfp soon.

fairy hows things with you?

Hi ven, kiwi, debs, milly, pink and jo how are you all? Wow role is getting longer xxx

Hi all

Popsy congratulations, brilliant news - that's given me a bit of hope that this will happen. Fairy, thanks for the link it was good to check. I'm due to ov in next couple of days. Feel absolutely no different so far with the clomid (first month with it) feeling like its not doing anything. fingers crossed.

Popsy how often did you do the reflexology, do you think it really made a difference?

hi to everyone else. sending positive vibes.

Re this part of your most recent comment:-

"along with being an oldie I also have endo so the clomid is there to give my ov a push. I have just had 1 month off"

They need to treat the endo cos its not going to go away of its own accord. Have you had surgery previously for endo?.

Does this gyane also have a specialist interest in endo, some of them are far better than others when it comes to treatment and management of this disease (I have endo too and you have my sympathies).

Cannot think why they areg giving you clomid - I'd give them a hard time about this as its of no real benefit unless there are ovulation problems. Its only main job is to make the ovaries work harder.

I hope your appt went well today.

Stac back to normal today other than getting wrists slapped. But thats a whole other story...
BDed last night so cancelled nurse today.
did anyone see Rock & Chips last night? I thought it was really good.

Deb how did you get on at cons app?

Carebear feeling a bit neg this month that it wont happen. I've gotta try to be positive but feel let down every month. Especially seen as post Ov symptoms are very similar to pg symptoms!!!!!! I feel like throwing the whole thing in but I'm far too stubborn, determined & strong willed to give up!

How was everyone elses day?

fairy I watched rock and chips, we love only fools and horses so it was great to see how it would have began, there is talk about making a series from it think that would be good. Oh whats the wrist slapping for? Keep the positive thoughts hun xxx

That'd be sooooo great to see a series. I said to DH That it so should have been a series. I grew up not far from Peckham so it's good to watch. My fave episode is Jolly Boys Outing as I think I've gone to Margate (or Margit as it's actually pronounced in my part of the country lol) nearly every year of my life!!!! Not as good as it used to be & the pleasure park closed down years ago. Plus a bit of Chas n dave singing the theme tune at the end is always good!
I watch Green Green Grass too with Marlene & Boycie.

OMG! How sad am I????

We recorded Rock chips as we watched dancing on ice. Looking forward to watching it.
Hows things at work Fairy and Clure any easier?
Thanks for the congrats carebear, still in a bit of shock. I'm not sure if the reflexology worked re getting a BFP. But it definately helped relax me I was so. stressed and having panicky feelings that i decided i had to try something or go crazy!, so i booked myself a massage. She asked why i wanted a massage and i told her a 'brief' reason. She recommended reflexology. I have had 3/4 since. I used to get stress headaches and shoulder n neck pain from the stress, i don't get any of that anymoreDefinately worth a try hun!! Even if it gives you some you time .
Stac according to my last period i'm just over 5wks:, keep wondering if its a faulty test! I called the hospital today and i have to wait 3 weeks til i can have my early pg scan. Not sure i can wait that long. I need to know its real!Besides i think i'm gunna burst not being able to tell anyone

Hows everyone else?
How did the hospital appointment go?

Its freezing here, so back to hot chocolate baby dust
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hi all, i feel shocking today. i've been up all night with sickness and diahorea (if thats how you spell it). i feel absolutely rubbish, really weak and shakey.
Anyway hows everyone?
good luck to all ttc xxx

popsy you could go for a private scan but think its an internal before 7weeks, when i went for my early scan i was advised i may need one. Luckily i was 7+4 so we saw a kidney bean with a heartbeat. Try not to stress. Easy for me to say lol. To be honest we are quite lucky to get early scans with ur 2nd you could up to 16wks before you even book in.

becky there is so much going about just now, hope your feeling better

Hows everyone elsd today?

fairy we watch them all too so your not sad hun

Hiya Stac think we are gunna wait for the early scan. I'm only getting one because thats how our fertility hospital works. Not sure if i should make a midwife appointmnet or not? Definatley having the private nuchal scan this time around, after what happened before.

Clure my ds is 13 and i cant believe how fast time has gone, he is so independant now.

Yep us as well fairy still makes me giggle.

xxxxxxxx

Big Hugs becky it's doing the rounds. Thank god I only had flu - even if it has been months.

Thanks Stac a little bit of home. Just watching it now on GOLD!

Pops I have a feeling that when my time comes & I finally get pg I wont get an early scan either. Surely we should have a right to one seen as we are more in need I feel! But again we get left out in the cold after our struggle.

Yes I totally agree is blinking cold again - worse than when the snow was here!

xxx

yeah us to fairy lol

popsy we get offered a 20 week scan on nhs for anomilies so I havent went for any private scans. I am tempted to get the 3d scan but not sure yet.

Totally agree its freezing, my cars just taken a flat tyre and the valve cap is stuck on aarrgghh, well it is for dp

stac When did you have your first midwife appointment? Do you think I should book one or what til after I've had this scan? Getting in abit of a panic!!

hi

annoyed, haven't managed to do my pump class as my back is too sore when I bend, anyway just sat down with my lovely bowl of hot homemade soup (grub - on a tray in front of telly) and the bloody bowl slid along the tray onto my lap. apart from burned leg it went all over my clothes, sofa etc. Spent 20 mins cleaning up, soup went cold. So I'm here now venting...so sorry

Other than that DD has had a lovely birthday and collected her early to come home and open prezzies and play however she still hyped up on chocolate smartie cake and is tossing and turning in be despite goind to bed over hour and half ago

becky - hope you feeling better
hi to all must go and get a hot pack on my back xxxxxxxxxxxx

Aww Clure What a rubbishy evening (except for the excitement of smarties b'day cake & presents).
I'm just off to bed as been writing a numeracy plan for like an hour & doing a smartfile. they look good but take forever to get up and running!!!

Take it easy with that back

xxx

aww clure are you ok? hope your legs and backs not too sore. DD will be loving the hyperness from the smarties. I banned DS from them for years as he used to be stuck to the ceiling lol hope you feel better soon xxx

cheers girls,
ok now. may have to get a chiropractor appointmnet if no better tomorrow. DD fast asleep, going to bed to rest up. All is well. x

sorry popsy didnt see your post till just then, my gp referred me to my preferred hospital and they sent out a letter but I ended up having to go earlier than the appointment they gave me due to having an underactive thyroid. My first booking apointment was when I was 12+4 which is when they scanned, took bloods, information and urine test. When do you go to the docs for confirmation? They will be able to tell you when you should get sorted. But if your booking with the mw then maybe you should do it sooner hun xxx

Cheers stac going to give the drs at ring at lunchtime and see what they suggest. Did you stop the metformin when you had a bfp?
Thanks for your advice. Xx

hey popsy yeah my gp told me to stop it, said it had served its purpose lol x

Hi all,
Fairy what day you on hun? its 21 for me and think i should be going to get blood test but have come down with cold/flu and feel totally rubbish and don't want to go anywhere - think it'll be a problem anyone? Clure gutted about the soup! how annoying. Popsy thanks for info about reflexology, think I will look into it. am sure this flu is partly because of the stress etc.

positive vibes to all and honey and lemon fairy dust. x x x

Hi all,
Just checking in quickly to say hello.

Sounds like a lot you you are still under the weather with the cold/flu thing.

First two days in new job were OK, managed to conceal Clomid induced craziness pretty well (I think).

Hope I will be so preoccupied with the job I will stop being obsessed with what day I'm on, if there are any hopeful signs etc etc. Should really know better after 38 odd months but oh well.

Scan tomorrow even though its only CD 10, hopefully there will be something to see....

Positive thoughts baby dust

Hi there ladies
Sorry I didnt write post yesterday after I had been to see my consultant or should I say his little helper she was nice enough but would of been nice to see the con.
She would not give me anymore than another 3 mmonths clomid (still have 2 months here)Was told I wouldnt need to go back too and to let nature take its course after this time. Was a little sad but then she went on to say........taking clomid can cause Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. I have just googled it...prob best if you want to know more to have a read because if I try to tell you all ill prob mash your heads (more than it is now lol )
Hope your all well TC

xxxxxxx

Carebear CD13 here.

Hi all - how's everyone?

I'm fuming thats I'd love to put loads of colourful words with lots of ***!!!!
BT informed me I had a £500 phone bill which totally shocked me. I wondered why they had taken £300 out of my account! We hardly ever use the landline as I have unlimited texts so everyone gets texted!
I investigated to find that someone has been using my line to phone sex lines, hospital beds (patient line), and international calls. BT reckon it's someone in my household (only DH & me here)!!! Got them investigating the line & will refuse it pay it!!

can you believe that this sort of thing happens in this day & age.

AAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!! can my luck get any worse????????? So much for the 6 magpies I saw today!

Deb - I thought that was caused by IVF drugs not clomid! You learn something new. How do you feel about being left to it? Would you ask for a 2nd opinion?
