New 'Anyone trying to get pregnant and want to talk about it' thread! (No. 4!!)

[bayleaf]

New thread starts here - may it be a lucky one for all who post in her!

Just checking in to say "hi", having a break from painting my lounge pink (pinker than I expected).

Sibble, I have recently started fertility drugs to start me ovulating. I dont know how long I wasnt ovulating for, but now I am. The Clomid worked first time and I did ovulate last month (though I didnt conceive). When I took Clomid last month (for the first time) I reported back some unpleasant side effects. I am now on my second course of Clomid (taken for 5 days at a time, day 2 - 7 of your cycle)and am happy to report no side effects at all. Good luck if you start on this treatment, it is apparently very effective in about 60% of women.

Quackers, how are you feeling?

Thanks bayleaf for reassurance - sorry things are not happening for you at the moment. Quackers - Persona is going ok, I should be doing my first test stick tomorrow. Welcome niknik, have you found Persona has helped you to know what's going on in your cycle?

I have been using persona for the past month and I got an ovulating sign this week on day 19 so no wonder I've been having problems with ovulating so late,but at least I am ovulating and have booked to see Dr next week for a check up.How is everyone else getting on with the persona?

Morning everyone
HD - Re. Persona yes and no. When I first used it (with the 16 test sticks) it told me that I ovulated on Day 18 (of a 27 Day cycle) which obviously made me panic. But then the next cycle I had my O on Day 9 of a 21 day cycle so I think the poor machine is in confusion and it is almost constantly red.
I'm on Day 13 today and have no test sticks left to test, but there are two blue lines so I am hoping I will ovulate in maybe 2-3 days.
The same thing happened last month and I had a definate temp increase on Day 15 of a 28 Day cycle. I am having my progesterone checked next week so hopefully I will be able to get a better idea of why my cycles are so varied.

Hi Bunny2 thanks for asking! I'm ok thanks. Iam very nervous every day and don't feel pg particularly at the mo. I am about 5 weeks today, so still really early. Glad the Clomid has not given you side effects this month though. I didn't realise it had such a success rate. Sibble I'm sure will want to ask you all about it. Hope you get pg soon. They say don't think about it but if I hadn't have put so much effort and worry in last month, I wouldn't have got pg. Now I'm worrying even more! It never ends does it!!
Lots of luck and Luuurve evryone!

Thanks Niknik for your reply re Persona. I wonder how reliable the first 'O' is, judging by your and caydeb's posts. Bunny2, how's your lounge looking? Try not to worry, quackers! (easy to say, I know).

Quackers, it is only natural to be nervous. I know my next pg will be fraught, having had a mc. Keep us up-to-date with your progress here on this thread wont you? love Bunny

I will, thanks Bunny and HD. Miss you!!!

Just a thought - bigbird, is it today you are due on??
HD that O symbol should be spot on. Check the lines on your test sticks for reassurance!

HD I do think that for me when/if I do get the O it is a reliable indicator of ovulation as I do get a definate temp increase two days later. I think the problem is that with the unreliability of my cycles, it gets me to use the 8 tests sticks to early some months. I am going to continue to persevere with it though.
Good luck at the doctors next week Caydeb

Oh My God...... I did a test this morning (after my temperature had gone up on day 30!), and I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't begin to explain how I'm feeling - because I think I'm in shock!

I honestly never thought it could happen to me!

So, I make me to be 5 + 2 weeks at the moment!! Lots to do - I need to get book in an ante natal endocrine clinic so they can keep an eye on my thyroid stuff, and I was told to stop taking my Metformin, so that's done!

Right, I'll stop wittering.... v.v.v.v. worried about the next few weeks, so I'll stick to this thread if that's OK, before moving on to a pregnancy thread. Also feeling a bit bad that I'm deserting my original thread 1 people! But if it can happen to me......!!

Thats tremendous news, Dot, well done! Take good care of yourself
