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!!!

Aww Care. I think we all know how you feel about baby bumps. Wasn't any at work for a while then they all seem to come at once. Could think of it as once they come back without you'll be the one they fuss over when you have yours! Just sooo unfair how easy some people have it and just dont realise! I'm coming to the end of month 27! It just feels like I'm never gonna get there. Day 31 and still no af! Think it's gonna be another of those rogue months where it's really long!

Whats people's plans today?
I'm chilling out watch trashy tv!

Baby dust to those of us left!

{{hugs}} carebear it is always harder when your surrounded by growing bumps. Hope your ok.

fairy we're going shopping, i think! How are you bout scan? Enjoy your lazy day lol x

Stac It's only to check on my PCOS. make sure it's the same or better really so they can give it to the IVF dept. Wish I had some sort of time scale when I can get started.

It's actually day 31 for me!

you going to test fairy? Or not wanting to? X

I'm too scared too incase it's neg!!!! ARGH!!! It's stupid! lol

Think I might do it in the morning!

Yay for half term. I'm exhausted. head still hasn't sorted out my sick/maternity pay. Hasn't even started to!!!!

Sorry carebear as Stac said it always makes it worse when there are bumps everywhere.Sending hugs you way hun []]

I was always like that fairy. never wanted to test as a negative was always too painful. It was like a double blow, negative then AF iykwim. How long is your cycle normally?

Pink i still have panics that its not really happening and that the tests were faulty, i'll go for my scan and nothing will be there etc etc. Symptoms are tiredness, nausea more than sickness, felt very light headed this week, heavy sore boobs and foods that i just cant get enough of. That are all crappy foods, toast with butter and jam, bread, crisps, biscuits. Put on weight already! Hoping it'll settle down when i get back to eating properly.How are you feeling?
Have you told anyone?

yeah Stac scan is on Monday 5.00. I'm excited and scared. I keep having dreams and thoughts that we go to the hospital and they scan me then just tell me how stupid i am and theres nothing there. Silly i know.

Went out with some girlfriends last night. Had a few blank looks from my friend as i wasn't drinking. But i hope she'll forgive me when i tell her.

Enjoy your weekned ladies

pops It's been 28-29 days since doing the clomid except one month when it was 40+!

I had one month where my cycle 39, but that was 1st month of clomid. Its confusing whether to test or not.It may sound ridiculous but hubby and i would often bd around the time AF was due, i usually started the next day! Maybe you could try that??? We did then nothing last month then decided to test on CD40. My cycles were a little longer than yours. At least you've got half term so you could test with anyday next week without rushing off to work.

Will be thinking of you fairy
xxxx

I don't think I ovulated till late anyway so Wed really should be the day I go for I think!

Thanks for the reply Stac, Shev and clure i hardly ever get sore boobs apart from this month they feel bruised.

clure its amazing how much exercise you do, wish i could be more like that, im not overweight but really think exercise would give me a higher chance of conceiving.

I had a dream on Thursday night that i was 4 months pregnant and had a little bump, i was so happy and then i woke up and realised it was a dream. So unfair sometimes.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend xx

Hi all,
Did a test earlier & BFN! It's either too early or missed it again this month.

No the scan is playing on my mind cos that mean IVF will be our only chance (only 3 free goes!!!!)

Which also might mean only one baby for us (which don't get me wrong, I'd be so grateful for after 27 months of disappointment) but I always dreamed of 3 or 4 when I was younger. I'm one of 3 and it just seemed the right number. One would get lonely (I know this aint true but this is what I always thought), 2 you can't get away with blaming the other so much cos it was one or the other. 3 meant that the blame gets spread out! lol

What if it doesn't work???? (can be worried face too I feel)

fairy - so sorry hun, try giving it a couple of days and retest. I totally get where you are coming from in the one child. That is why I would dearly love a brother or sister for DD.

ladybird - hope you too enjoy weekend, I too have had the pregnant dreams, its tough when you realise it was a dream, you never know... I think the exercise has been a way with coping, I started years ago when trying to conceive DD first time round (that took nearly 2 years!)

carebear - so sorry af got you, we just have to go on don't we? hug x

hi stac and pops and pink how are you all feeling?

hi jobo how are you haven't heard from you in a bit

hope the rest of you ladies ok
I'm going to ring GP on monday to request fertility clinic referral. Had a day of catching up with jobs and playing with DD, a very cold trip to park which was cut short by hailstones. Off to watch film with DH
enjoy weekend xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi all,
sorry for long silence, have been trying to get my head around some stuff.

Had the IUI meeting, with some other couples.
At least I knew the fertility nurse-she has scanned me a lot now. The consultant gave the talk and then said basically now we have all got to the top of the list we just get straight on with IUI. I am on CD28 today (UCL 28) and know AF is coming, so going for meeting to plan treatment on Weds. Need to take the Clomid and then start injections maybe at the end of the week or over next weekend and first IUI in about 12-14 days. I think next month is either month 39 or 40 of trying so am pleased its happening, but not quite sure how to explain to work that I will need some time off at quite short notice (could be tricky). Took me a few days to get my head around it all.

Really hoped when I started the Clomid that it would work on its own and I would avoid this. Even thought that with CD28 falling on Valentines it would be really nice to do a test and get a BFP. Not going to bother testing as there is no doubt it would be negative. Beginning to lose hope that even IUI will get me pregnant. Head full of worries about miscarrying if I did get a BFP, would be so awful, not that I have ever got near being late let alone a BFP before.

Anyhow, it seems I have missed a lot, pink congratulations! Nice to have another BFP on the thread.

Carebear and Becky sorry AF got you, Becky maybe the spiritualist was off in his timing and it will be soon?

Fairy good luck for the scan, I know what you mean about IVF, in the IUI talk they covered what happens if it doesn't work. I feel like I only get to have an only child as there is nothing happening without assistance.

So jelous of all those of you on half term right now! Seems like we have quite a few teachers.

Stac and Popsy hope all is well with you both, good luck for your scan tomorrow popsy.

Hi to Ladybird, Shev, Clure, Debice and everyone I have probably missed off!

Happy valentines day...

Well you sure can tell its Val day eh no one posting lol
Hope your ALL well.
Ven I know what you mean about all the worry when you do get a BFP im sure we have all been through almost the same worries hun so your not alone
Fairy how you feeling?
Good luck tomorrow pops hope all goes well hun.
Hows you Stac hope your well hun
Pink hows things going with you? Have you started feeling any better?
Good luck Clure with the GP tomorrow......hope you get what you want
Lady oh I wish I never gor sore boobs hun....mine are like blooming bricks every single month Im always dreaming about babies and most times its twins.........wishful thinking maybe eh.
Hope you all have a good day.take care.

Hi ya all,

My not posting was cos I was at my scan. Know how you feel Ven. I thought the clomid was all we needed but not to be so i suppose.

Well not sure whether it was good news on not at the scan. Firstly, she couldn't get a good picture on the ultra sound as I have a womb that tilts to the back (anyone know anything about this? Thinking of starting a thread to see if anyone knows). So ended up having an internal.
She asked me what dose of clomid i was on & said any higher & I'd prob be over stimulated (so guessing PCOS isn't too bad). She confirmed I had PCOS.
She said that I'm either coming on very soon as lining is very thick or I'm in very early stages of preg that she can't quite pick up anything just yet! (which could also be a reason that I got a BFN on my test yesterday!!!

I'm just gonna have to sit it out & wait.

How's everyone else's day?

Very sticky baby dust!

fairy - that sounds like it might..could... be a little bit positive?! Is it retroverted uterus? My friend has that, it didn;t hamper her conceiving if that what you concerned about.

Deb - hope you and your boobs are better!

ven -you sound very down, (hug) you have a better chance with the IUI than clomid alone, try to keep hold of that thought x

hi everyone else hope you having a good day x

Clure Yeah it is. Apparently I prob wont show before 12 weeks when it starts to move to the correct position (which I don't mind as then I can keep it quieter for longer!)

Hey ladies

how are you all today? did you all get spoilt for valentines? I got some new maternity clothes, picked our pram and car chair yesterday

fairy that sounds like potentially great news. How soon are you going to wait to test? I have a backwards tilting womb and the sonographer says it has no bearing in falling pregnant or the pregnancy itself. Keeping everything crossed for you

ven sorry you are having a hard time hun, try to keep positive, theses meetings seem so impersonal

popsy please let us know how you get on and all the lovely details

deb I'm fine hun, back still sore but at physio on wednesday so hoping that will help out.

Have to tell you the laugh we had last night. DP and I were having a quiet night as DS was staying with my aunt. We just got in the house when a letter got posted through the door. It was a hand drawn valentines card for DS. It was asking if he would be their valentine and if he fancied them he was to tick the box. It was signed by 2 girls. I phoned DS to tell him about it and he asked if there was a box he could tick to say he doesnt fancy them lol He had went bright red apparantly, girls are bold as brass now a days lol(now I have read that back think you had to be there)

Hi to everyone I havent mentioned personally, hope you have had a lovely valentines xxx

Oh girls get worse - one of my 10 year olds told a boy that they had something hot in their lunch box & that something was him!

We've also almost had cat fights over a boy - 3 girls giving each other daggers & one trying to attract the boy by undoing her top button, pushing out her (non-existant) chest and flicking her hair! They are 10 for god sake!!!!

Just a valentines card in my day!

I got a box of chocs, CD & a cracker thing!

xx

yeah fairy ds is ten, the letter said how hot he was and she loved his bebo pics in his shorts, i had to go check there wasnt any daft pics, but the only pics he has was his footy pics. I defo think girls are worse then boys. My stepson has been stalked by a girl in the year below. She stands outside mil's house for hours, even when its cold lol my hearts roasted with it x

hi everyone hope you dont mind me joining your group

im also on my first month of clomid and have ttc for a long time i also suffer from pcos
