TTC - Clomid IV - A New Hope

[Fairygodmother1]

Hi ya girlies,

New Thread, New Hope.

To Newbies -
We're all very friendly, have had different experiences, are all very wise in the ways of clomid and more adventures to come I guess...

lets keep chatting!!!

Huh??? lol

Big Positive Fat hey
lady we really could be neighbours!!
Knowing that i have conceived on clomid is a big boost, however knowing how my pregnancy ended up a few weeks ago petrifies me!

Popsy it's nice to know somebody on this thread lives near by we could have been sat in the waiting room together at the CRM and not even known lol, there is one nurse there with blonde hair that i don't like, i find her really rude.
I'm positive that you will go on to have a healthy pregnancy, i would also be scared because of what has happened but i would still want to carry on, easy for me to say because i have never been through it but us women are alot stronger than men

Yeah i think i know who you mean. I am not sure if i should put where i live, dont know why, seems like its not annonymous then, iykwim. I may change my mind though as i would like to know if we are very local to each other.
Which cons do you see? I have seen 3 so far and a registra, Miss Agrawal and a cons that has now left and a lovely man but i cant remember his name. Miss Engineer is dealing with me 'if' i ever get pregnant again. I am at the CRM on Thursday being scanned.
I hope your optimisiam transfers to RL What treatment are you on? Is it IUI?

I'm the same about saying where i live, i also don't know why, think it's because i say things on here that i would never say to people in RL because nobody knows me on here if that makes sense. Probably just paranoid lol
We are kind of local as we live in the same county, maybe we could give each other a clue as to where we live lol. I wonder if anyone else on here is worried about saying exactly where they live.
I see Mr Keay, think thats how you spell it, he was really nice but have also seen another man with a very broad accent, it was quite hard to understand him.
I won't be back at the CRM until beginning of June for scans when we start iui, which also means i will be back on clomid too

Just checking in and catching up.

Had a little time this morning so decided to read up properly on some of your stories which I didn't know much about. Not sure it was the best idea as I then went off on a tangent and am sat here now in floods of tears! . This maybe a little inappropriate but I am and saddened by the amount of losses in the Due September thread and it also scares the hell out of me. I too have miscarried early in the past and as you wrote at one point Popsy, I often consider whether I am making the right choice TTC again but then wonder whether it is just my body protecting me from potential heartache if that makes any sense? Sorry I am rambling, it was your story I mostly read up on Popsy and I just want to say what a strong woman you must be

Well, dh got his semen sample into the hospital last week and they said results should be back within a few days so hopefully we will be able to get an appointment propmtly with the consultant - hoping to get started on Clomid next month.

best of Luck with the clomid chloe.

Just need to ask if anyone has had the same - on CD10 & still seem to be having occassional brownish discharge as I normally get at the end & beginning of period. Also this month was a thicker darker blood. Has anyone else had this or is my body playing silly buggers & my hormones messed up now the clomid is completely out of my system? I only had a 26 day cycle last month which was the shortest I've ever had!
I'm also well spotty around my chin like a 15 year old with acne!!!

Any advice?

Thank you Chloe that was a lovely thing to say.Unfortunately its a case of having to be strong, although i have fell apart on many occasions! I do have an amazing DH and DS who have kept me going when things have been at there hardest. PLus mumsnet has been an amazing support, my little secret as no one in RL knows i go on here. I completely understand re ttc again, i am petrified and i can think of loads of reasons not to. But it is just to protect myself from being hurt again. Good luck with clomid. All the ladies on here are amazing

Sorry no experience of this fairy. Have you ov yet?

xx

I presume I did last month as had lots of EWCM. Not really got off the starting block this month!

maybe I should google!

oooh the dreaded googling

Well un update on the brown discharge - it's turned into P so that means last week was just a clear out of old blood!!!!

Have no idea what the hell is going on!!!!!

That's sounds very much like what I had after last pregnancy ended. Jus finished period now.

I have no idea pops. The mysteries of my body!

Chloe good luck with the clomid when you start it and hope the results of your dp's test are good.

Fairy its crap that it's turned into a period otherwise i would have said maybe it's ovulation spotting as some women spot around ovulation.

Popsy hope you don't get to many side effects with the clomid. Have you thought about doing iui/ivf or will you just stick with the clomid?

xx

Staying with clomid for the time being. Got til October til I see cons, then they say iui/ivf. They agree that there's no reason why I won't get pregnant again with clomid. Just trying to stay relaxed as possible and loose some weight to help things along.
Fingers firmly crossed for things to go right this time!

Hi
I'll pop in and introduce myself better later on as I think I'm about to join your ranks. But can I share my day 21 blood test results with you in the mean time in case anyone can comment? I'm at work so I'm sneaking this one in.
FSH - 7.3
LH - 17
Progerstone 3
The GP called me at work and I need to share.
Thanks

Hi everyone.
Not been on here for a while..........as some of you know I lost my best friend just under 6 weeks ago..... and to add salt to the wound my sister started a relationship with her(best friend) hubby 3weeks ago......im trying so hard not to let it bother me but just before she passed away she mentioned that she did not trust my sister next to her partner. I want to get on with my life but feel im having it pushed in my face. Ive not said anything to her because I believe that is what she is waiting for,so feel I am bigger and better than to lower myself. I just wish the had waited or even kept it quite until my friend had been laid to rest properly.(he's still donre nothing with her ashes) sorry to go on but just needed to get it off my chest.

POPS its really nice to see you back on here hun. Sending lots of luck your way.

Just took my clomid again last night so lets see if this is the month eh.
Sorry for short post after so llong but feeling a bit low so ill sign out now and hope to post again soon.
TAKE CARE
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Popsy my fingers are firmly crossed for you.

Brassica i'm not quite sure what all those figures mean, when i had my day 21 test i was told that it should be over 30 if you have ovulated and mine was 103. I'm sure there will be someone that can comment.

Deb it's nice to see your back, i would also be feeling the same regarding your friend, it sounds like your friend was right when she told you she didn't trust your sister. That is so very sad that they haave started a relationship so soon. I do beleive that people should eventually start a relationship after the death of their partner but not straight away. I would need alot of time to greive before i could even think about meeting someone else.
I think you have done the right thing not saying anything to your sister. Stay stong and come on here to get things off your chest if it helps. Hope clomid works for you this month. Take care

Welcome Brassica. I dodn't understand the stats either as my cons never let me have that info. All I'm concverned with now is getting my BMI below 30 as I've now been told my referrl for IVF has been sent off so now I'm just waiting around...

Deb glad you are back. It's gonna be hard not letting it get to you! You know we are here if you need to vent.

Fingers crossed Pops

Debs also nice to see you back. It must be really difficult for you re the situation with your sister. Like you said people have to move on but there surely is a more appropriate time! Also here for you when you want to natter or rant!
Also no help with the levels brassica as I haven't been given that info.
fairy how's the walking going? I've now lost 8.5lbs at weight watchers although jus had my first lot of clomid so will see how that affects things!
Had my first scan yesterday cd8, had a bit of an emotional blip having to start it all again and go to CRM when I should be having my 20wk scan The nurse was lovely and very sympathetic and asked was I sure I was ready to start again. Plus hubby is going away for a few days and I hate being on my own.
Babydust to all

It's understandable that you would feel that way Pops, hope it goes well for you this time.

Brassica - my progesterone levels were 2.8 and I was also told they should be over 30 so it would appear that according to your blood tests you are not ovulating or certainly didn't that month.

Debs - how inappropriate and insensitive to everyone else of your sister and your mate's hubby, I too would be feeling very upset at her. Unfortunately there is little you can do to help the situation other than just try to occupy your mind elsewhere and speak to her when you feel you are ready.

Pops the walking is going well but I seem to have put more weight on!!!!! Although I do seem to be losing inches (well cm)!!!
Hope you re feeling better today.

How's everyone's weekend?

Hi,
Just popping in to see how everyone is doing.

Welcome back Popsy, my thoughts have been with you a lot over the last few weeks.
Debs sorry you are having such a difficult time.

Hi to everyone else, old and new.
Am 12 weeks pg today. Have had 2 scans already for "monitoring" because of being under the fertility clinic and my proper scan is in about 10 days time. Praying everything is OK-it was at the other scans.

Haven't been able to post as either asleep or having MS-probably the most cheerful person ever to feel so awful!

Just thought I would see how everyone was and check in.

Hi everyone. Just popping on to say hello. How are you all? Thought it would be best to stay away for while. All good my end, lo due 9wks on wednesday unless i go earlier.

Hows things going with you all? Well done on the weight loss popsy and you fairy on keeping up the walking, i'm sure you will notice a difference. I miss my big walks can wait to get back to it and starting zumba. clure the name is gaelic spelt, i saw it somewhere as usuaslly its riley which reminds me of the surname. Hey lady, carebear becky jobo and anyone else i have missed.

ven glad your getting there hun, take it the other scans are fine? Hope the ms and tiredness calms down now your hitting the 2nd trimester. Let us know how you get on. Take care all x

Having some strange going ons this morning and last night. My period was 2 weeks ago, we bd one week ago but not since as dh has been away only last night when we were hoping to bd again I got terrible shooting pains in my lower abdomen then when I went to the toilet before bed I wiped away blood (not much but enough for me to have to wipe a couple times). Woke in the night a few times with cramping and have some cramping and back ache this morning but not pain, more uncomfortableness.

I am guessing that its far to early for me to have ovulated in my cycle (presuming that occassionally I do ovulate) and if it was implantation bleeding then surely that would be too soon aswell? (7 days).

Do you think it could be that I am ovulating? I have never bled mid cycle before.

By the way, I still haven't started the Clomid yet so there has been no other change in my ciircumstances.
