[Fairygodmother1]

popsy think we're suffering pregnancy paranoia lol, are you shattered hun?

fairy what have they done to poor clure? Are they downsizing the school? X

Fairy - lol. Yes Pops don't you start.

I'm excited, I've just found this site on yoga poses for fertility which don't look too hard. Anyone for yoga? x

yoga4fertility.com/yoga4fertility/poses.html

Fairy my dp is also chomping at the bit, he was asking last night when i was finished as he was feeling frisky lol.

Stac i think i would have pregnancy paranoia, i think i know how you feel because you dont want people to think you rubbing it in their faces, if you had been ttc for a couple of months then we would think that but your journey was a long one like the rest of us. We need success stories like yours to keep us going

xxxxx

Sensitive souls aren't we
Lady i spent hours searching the internet for success stories to keep me going, especially the later months.
Yeah stac by 9:00 i just cant function properly. I have so much to do at work and uni as well. Not many people know either so they all must think i am a right lazy cow lol.

Its 9.15 so off to bed for me.

Night night all

Thanks lady My poor dp feels redundant as bding was constant now I'm off it lol poor soul

popsy no wonder your shattered, I'm lucky i'm not working this time around. Your doing loads, think people just think am a lazy cow anyway, my mil is very much the sort were you need to keep on top of things when she was preggers she had 2 jobs looked after the house and her dd so never had time to sit on her backside so you can imagine what she thinks of me and my pelvic girdle pain lol

care I used the wii fit for yoga but I am totally crap at it as I am a complete stiffy. Now I am trying to do the pelvic floor exercise. Get practising now ladies it will help when you get bfp

xxxxx

hi

just a quickie,

stac, i'm fine, just working like a mad woman

fairy - thanks hun, I have great support!

ven - I did temps first time round but they didn't really help me, your temp is also affected by lack of sleep, illness, alcohol etc so not always terribly accurate in letting you know if youve ov.

pops - you rest if you need it

care - I used to do yoga (did it till 8 months pg, I loved it though I can;t do the up side down poses)

hi ladybird
hi rest of you, just got back from a run to try to clear my head, off to veg in fromt of telly before crashing to bed
hugs and babydust xxx

stac they said i hadnt ovd but that they may hav missed it cause my cycle is always longer than 28 days its normally between 32 and 36 days so think they just missed it
cd 30 2day just waiting again to start again

Hi everyone, how you all?

Pops stac pink hope you're all doing well, pops echo clure you rest when you need it, your baby will be fully formed by 12 weeks - its hard work!

care yoga bits look good, will give them a go

clure hope the back is still good, are you enjoying the pilates? And 14k BEFORE BREAKFAST? You are a better woman than I!!I'm lucky if I can do a cup of tea and the school run before breakfast lol!

I've been having a very down month, not helped by the fact it will the second anniversary in a couple of weeks. My blood test were clear (have I mentioned this?) my my new GP said that I have been under great stress and not to underestimate the effect clomid has all month long. So maybe the angry/emotional witch I have become is due in part to that. I have decided anyway to have a break next month as I am really struggling on the clomid merry-go-round and don't particularly like who I am at the moment. What has happened to me? Its not good!

I will be lurking or posting, so you don't get rid of me that easily!!

Super strong babydust to all

Care just checked out your fertility poses - look like some of my bedroom ones but I'm up for it!!!

Clure I can't do upside down poses as I'll pro suffercate under my boobs plus have no upper body strength! You should see me do a push up!!!! The only push ups I do is in my bra & thats not really needed!! lol

Jo gotta say this is my first clomid free month & so far I aint crabby! Not had the headaches either. I just hope I still ovulate!!!!
Also, my friend had a down day yesterday as it'll be her 2nd anniversary too. I must say, she's coping better as the years go on!

Stac My friend had her little girl at 3.22 this morning. I knew it would be as her other 3 were born in the early hours too!

Hope everyone's ok - another hour row with BT!

xxx

Popsy i used to spend hours seaching for success stories too especially when i first started clomid but now i'm not so bad as i find this site helps, i look forward to hearing about the BFP on this site, i'm sure there are plenty more to come.

stac your poor dp, i would be the same though, i'm sure he understands now that your pg your not up for it as much.

Hope everybody is ok

xxxxxxx

Hi all,

jo and emmy ((((big hugs))))

clure hope you're taking care of yourself. hi to everyone else.

ok have now tried all those yoga poses - the middle ones with crossing legs i found hard (i am so not bendy) but the first and the last one felt loverly... who knew lying on your back with a pillow under yer bum could count as exercise?!! hmm could definately feel the relaxing vibe through my pelvis, who knows fingers crossed it does something to the insides. would definately recommend trying those two out.

tried to ring to get my blood test results from last cycle today - rang the hospital who told me to ring my gp, rang gp who told me to ring the hospital, rang the hospital and guess what? think i made total of 8 calls in the end and still no results. what a great system.

oh yes, classic, should have said - spoke to someone in the chemistry part of the hospital, who could see my results in front of him, but wasn't allowed to tell me! gp was allowed to tell me but couldn't see the results. eh?

omg care thats ridiculous, typical though. Hope you get them tomorrow

lady he does understand, the poor sod just went from one extreme to another. But i try to make an effort lol

fairy lovely news bout your friend, what did she call lo? Im struggling for names, any ideas gratefully recieved. How did you get on with bt?

{{hugs}} jojo try to be good to yourself hun. You've been through so much. I cant even begin to imagine how hard its been for you and these daft tablets dont help, but we are all here for you so dont be a stranger.

emmy if your going back to cons ask for met again, you can take both at the same time also if you get it prescribed make sure its for pcos then you should only have to pay normal prescription prices.

Hey to everyone else, hope your all good x

Hey all,

Well CD4 so took clomid yesterday and today and I feel like a grumpy bad tempered old witch. DH isn't too impressed as he seems to get the brunt of it!

Emmy - are you thinking of taking metformin and clomid? I was taking met for about 6 months before I started clomid but the consultant told me to stop taking the met when I started taking clomid. He told me about the results of a recent study where women (I think with PCOS) were treated either with just clomid, just met, met and clomid and then there was a control group who were given nothing. The number of pregnancies was highest in the clomid only group.

Does anyone else find it hard to concentrate on other stuff? I found all day yesterday at work I just kept thinking 'please let it happen this month'...

XX

reallygrumpy I wsa told the success rate was higher with both tablets, but for me I took clomid for 6 months without success and was only on metformin for 2months when I got bfp, popsy used both and got preggers in her first month. Maybe it was just our time or maybe it was the tabs lol. I hated the way clomid made me feel but would not have changed using it as i think it still helped me get wear I am, even if all it did was give my ovaries a shake lol. Dont beat yourself up about being grumpy on it, explain to dh the side effects of the hormones. I let dp read the information (not always a good thing as he wanted me to stop) but it did make him mor aware of why I was being like that.

Hey to everyone hope your all good, went for lunch with my friend it was lovely to see her and have a general gossip that was focused on the baby (love talking about it but sometimes need normal chit chat lol). Any plans for the weekend? xxx

Hi EVERYONE Hope your all well. I have posted but for some reason its not here,
Im on CD 37........still feeling poo and getting bits of brown spots(gor a wk now)
I just feel so worn out.......prob with the waiting around to see if Af coming or not. Just feel so dame fed up......been asked if im going to test but feel so frightened....silly I know but cant help but worry.

Ok thats enough of me moaning Hows everyone doing? Hope your all keeping well.
Hope this time my post gets there Ill copy it eh just incase lol
Tacke good care ALL of you.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

debi have you tested? I had brown discharge before bfp with this lo (soz just re-read post) I understand your afraid to test but best to know huni, remember we are all here for you and have been there so know how your feeling xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi all,

Really, really, Really, really, Really, really, Really, really, Really, really, Really, really, Really, really, cheesed off the day

Blood results still not in. CD 24 for me today, boobies have settled down but still got backache and am cramping. I think AF is just around the corner for me. Too early to test? Don't want to get in a habit of peeing on sticks at the mo as that would mean I'm being obsessive about it and I couldn't handle going through all them bad emotions again. Just want to take it easy, what will be will be as my dear old mum told me today.

Hope everyone is ok and Debs if it was me I'd probably be testing just to get it out of the way....it's the hardest thing isn't it.

Sticky baby dust to all us TTC'ers

Hi girls. Haven't posted ina while but still follow the threads all the time. Just feeling really discouraged today. TTC for 3 years. Been on clomid last 6 months 100mg now. So my cycles run anywhere from28-31 days. Currently on cd26 and feel terrible dizzy, queasy(not throwing up though)af like cramps all week, thirsty.
So I just feel totally differnt this cycle than I've ever felt, and I've taken 2 first response HPT's and gotten negatives on both, and can't believe I'm letting myself get so down about the negatives, I know its super easly, but these feelings are just so strong, and so out of the ordinary for me I just feel like maybe this is it. Also no breast sorness but in the evenings I've been getting these sharp pains in one breast or the other, then it subsides. Anyways sorry for rambling on like a crazy lady just needed to vent to ladies going through the same insanity LOL

Stac She called her Lilly-ann. BT I'm still rowing with. How can you make a phone call fr4om home when you are 20miles at least away??????

really thats me every day & planning my life 'just in case...'!!! I think we've all been witches on clomid!

Deb stac was sure she was getting & AF & thought it was so def test hon!

shev hope you have some good news! It's bloody horrible this TTC lark & a body that plays tricks on you!

wishin maybe it's too early cos my mum, sister & best friend never got BFPs till 5+ weeks!!!

Hi everyone else! [waves]

DH had a blin ding week at his new job & found out today that my job is safe for a year! Hope I end up with a BFP soon!!!!

hi,

care - your yoga comments bring back memories of the classes I used to do (Ieyengar Yoga - uses a lot of props, its tougher than hatha but not as nutty as ashtanga) good stuff, even if you only do the relaxing poses

reallygrumpy - how about treating yourself to something just to ease the strain of it all?

Deb - have to say it sounds a little bit promising!! Know what you mean about being reluctant to test though..good luck when you do

wishin - reckon you should wait a little while and test again, it maybe that its a little too early for a bfp?

yo fairy, how was your day? I am still passing myself coming back (as my mum would say) where work is concerned. To be honest its so consumed me that I haven;t really given a lot of thought to the ivf.

hi stac, pops how are you both doing?

care - hope you get results soon,

shev - sorry for you, its rubbish isn;t it? Probably a bit early to test, maybe wait a few more days?

jobo ladybird, emmy hope you are okay too and to anyone I've missed

Did 2 hours classes at the gym yesterday and another 14k today so feeling bit tired, good though as it gives me headspace! Having a chillout tonight
babydust xxxxxxxxx

Kow what you mean Clure DH & I are chilling out tonight (bottle of wine already crackec open) & planning late honeymoon (or dirty weekend as DH told my mum!)!!!! Feel I'm getting a break (or breather) from the crap in my life! Early night I think & then back to work tomorrow!

xxx

Stac Hi hun........thank you so much for your post.........feel so safe talking to you lovely people this is how I feel.................sick,tired(but always do before AF comes)tummy cramps,moody (like AF on the way) Not got sore boobs anymore peeing every 25/30 minutes(not always brown)
Shev I do think ill try and hold out till Monday..........my longest cycle(on clomod) is 40cd so think ill wait eh......really hard eh.........we didnt even try and thats why I dont think I am hun.
wish I too have been getting lots of sharp pains in one breast,,,,,,all day but now it seems to have gone. Oh the joys of TTC eh.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

thanks so much ladies. I've been trying so long now and looking for symptoms for soooo many months I'm driving myself a bit bonkers. LOL I once told a friend I think I MADE my breasts sore one month from poking them all the time to "check" if they were getting sore.
Babydust to all clomid ladies

debs i felt like crap to be honest, discharge wasnt always brown, infact i'm sure i announced the arrival of af bout 3 times, light bleeding all of those times. I didnt have sore boobs at first either. Also didnt think i was as dp and i calmed down bding and i had previously went 9months without af. But you never know. Dont want to get your hopes up but dont dismiss the obvious either hun.

fairy fab news bout your job and dh's. Your weekend sounds great too. Dp is driving me mad, bein a pain in the ass lol

clure hope you have a nice relaxing weekend, sounds like you have been wiped out with work

shev docs are a nightmare during this and dont seem to realise how important those results are to us. Keep your chin up and try to have a nice weekend.

wish i was 6-7 weeks before i got bfp so try not to be disheartened hun. Try again on monday
