Hi all,

Another neg this morning & 1 week late. What do I do? Thinking give it till Fri & see GP. I've been really regular wih the Clomid...wish I knew what was going on!!!

Sounds promising Thislittle - fingers crossed for you! You may be our bit of good news!

Welcome Dueling - I had sore boobs last month but not had tingling side effect. I think Clomid affects us all differently I'm affraid.

hiya

stac and fairy so sorry for your bfn's. Bloody frustrating!

Fairy yes would chat to GP if no af in a week, you may need provera to kick start af or it could just be your pcos or the clomid playing silly buggers with your system.

kiwi - its really hard having to make sacrifices, i think we as women prepare our bodies and not sure the blokes always clearly see their role in this. My DH doesn't drink at all but he's a mad keen cyclist and is trying his hardest to ease off on it - but he's in love with his bike!!

hello to the rest of you xxx

Fairygodmother1 · 29/10/2009 13:46

Thanks Clure,

Still nothing from af here but doing my best to chill out...

Hi all,

My dh seems ok with the sacrifices...but I still think he thinks that it's mostly me going through it all. Not in a bad way but he only really has 1 job to do. he doesn't drink that much really, doesn't smoke & has perfect weight.

Well I'm gonna get back to the chilling out & weiting!

baby dust to all

Hi everyone

Just popping in to say hi and hope everyone is ok, 2 weeks until I can start my clomid, can't believe I got it as a free prescription (all our prescriptions are free, but I didn't expect fertility drugs to be included with that!). Have been BBT charting and thought I was smart and that my thermometer kept the temp in the memory, it was only after 3 days of exactly the same temp I smelt a rat! So know I do actually have to wake up to write it down. Self-proclaimed muppet!

Hope everyone enjoyed the sunshine today (sadly our garage gets the best sunshine of all the house - something wrong there)

Good luck to all

thislittlesisterlola · 29/10/2009 21:03

hi all how we all doing woo nearly wkend! Thanks will keep you posted if i get any news. Also my periods were all over the show with clomid going from 33c to 45c. Dont worry yourself too much hopefully either af comes or gp can fix it. clure, hi hun how are things your end? Waves at stac and kiwi- we have missed you. sorry dh is in one of those moods- mine has them too. fairy and stac so sorry about your bfn. Dust x

Clure · 30/10/2009 12:34

It will be CD 21 for me tomorrow and as I'm unable to get my bloods done on a Saturday I'm waiting till Monday for the progesterone day 21 test. I thought this would be ok due to my long irregular cycles!
hope the rest of you are ok x

thislittlesisterlola · 30/10/2009 12:51

hey clure i used to wait til mon for my bloods if d21 was on a wkend. Am at work so bit naughty for being on here but i am lesson planning as well... Kind of! I cant decide if im about to come on or my cold is setting in boo! Hope everyone is enjoying friday x x

Clure · 30/10/2009 17:00

thanks thislittlesisterlola - I wondered if it would be ok to wait and you've put my mind at rest. What do you teach? I'm a music teacher in a primary school and I also need to put in some work, think I'll do it tonight when DD in bed. Had a lovely afternoon at a country park and now getting ready for a duathlon tomorrow (thats a run bike run race) must be mad!

Fairygodmother1 · 30/10/2009 17:38

Clure, I waitied till the Monday on one of my blood tests, don't think it mattered.

Still nothing here, CD38...but lots of stretchy type niggles that i thought might be coming on but nothing yet.

I really should be doing some lesson planning, assessing, etc...just feel too tired after a week off!!!!

lol!

hope everyone has a good weekend!

KiwiKat · 30/10/2009 21:12

Evening all. AF has got me - bum bum bum.

Clure · 30/10/2009 21:21

kiwikat - thats a total bugger, so sorry x

Fairygodmother1 · 30/10/2009 21:32

Big hug (passes the chocolate)...

Fingers crossed next month!

baby Dust

KiwiKat · 30/10/2009 22:08

Thanks for you kind thoughts. I don't know if I want to cry or just shout POX and other rude words really loudly. One step closer to IVF - I really thought we would have managed it by now. DS is 3 1/4.

Maybe I'll get a cat.

Clure · 30/10/2009 22:40

kiwi - I also am in such a similar situation. My DD 4 and a half and I thought I'd have another little one as she started school. my clomid cycles are slipping away and ivf is more of a reality.... and my DH is allergic to cats!

KiwiKat · 30/10/2009 22:46

Let's hold hands and do it together, Clure.

stac14 · 30/10/2009 23:20

hey ladies

sorry af got you kiwikat big hugs x

so are clure fairy and thislittle all doing your lesson plans or are you going to be enjoying halloween festivities instead? Is anyone dressing up? We usually go to a halloween paty but this year we are going to dp's friends wedding tomorrow, not fancy dress though but should still be a good day.

fairy I am the same as you a few niggle, a bit of pmt but no af, its the usual though when you want it to come it takes longer, we spend our time hoping it doesnt lol

clure I'm sure monday will be fine for cd21 bloods mine weren't always on the exact day either.

baby dust to all wonder if there are any spells to help us conceive xxxx

Clure · 31/10/2009 11:53

hi all,
thanks for your well wishes all.

stac - i will have a little bit of planning to do but then have a pumpkin to hollow out and make pumpkin stew. DD has a cute pumpkin dress she will wear. We went to a halloween party on Thursday so tonight we will be dodging the "trick or treaters"!

thislittlesisterlola - so sorry af got you (HUG) I go into reception to do singing and music games - they are SO little!!

Enjoy weekend all

peju25 · 31/10/2009 12:19

Hi all

fingers crossed for those of you still in the game!!

I eventually got my af on cd106!! longest ever cycle!!

We have been referred on now and looks like we will be going down the IUI route - fingers crossed it dont take too long for appointment to come thru. Am losing weight in readiness and have managed to lose 11 pounds in 3 weeks! Still another 2 stone to go to get to bmi to get treatment but am determined!!

Just got to help dp give up smoking now! he dont have many but guess the few he hasis too many.

Still being positive and amazingly am ok with the fact we both have problems - one way or another we WILL be parents!

Will keep you posted and of course keep eye on thread to see some BFP's from you lot!

Baby dust by the bucket load to you!!!

Clure · 31/10/2009 14:09

KiwiKat · 31/10/2009 20:20
