Well on day 10 of cycles today - haven't had a chance to use OPK yet as i ordered it too late.
Going to get on with bd'ing tonight and hope for the best - DP is going to be in for a fun few days!

scampadoodle · 04/08/2003 17:06

Has anyone a persona kit they want to flog, or did anyone start a thread about it?

niknik · 04/08/2003 17:27

Has anybody had a dye test for tubal patency? Is it painful? I've been for my first visit to see the fertility consultant today and he is arranging it for me.

Jemma did you get your Persona yet?

Jemma7 · 04/08/2003 17:34

Never heard of it NikNik - Have got persona but can't start testing yet.
Going to getbd'ing tonight though - u never know, i might not even need it.

caydeb · 05/08/2003 04:39

well I did a test today and got a faint positive line so brought a better test and will repeat tomorrow, I had the appointment all booked to see the Dr on Friday for tests as it's bee a year, but looks like I might be getting rid of my persona as well so fingers crossed girls

hewlettsdaughter · 05/08/2003 07:48

ooh! good luck caydeb.

Jemma7 · 05/08/2003 08:59

Good luck Caydeb - Let us know how everything goes

niknik · 05/08/2003 09:27

Good Luck CayDeb
My thoughts are with you Quackers
I'm really peeved off, its my birthday today, therefore AF decided to pay me a visit 4 days earlier than expected. That means my luteal was only 10 days!

Jemma7 · 05/08/2003 09:50

Oh no Niknik - at least it's here and you haven't got the wondering "Am I?" Aren't I?" etc.
Bit of a shit it had to arrive on your b'day though - that's usually my luck.

dot1 · 05/08/2003 10:59

Hi Bayleaf - I was just wondering when your next attempt is - you've been quiet recently - hope everything's OK.

Egypt · 05/08/2003 14:17

Hi all! I'm back and have missed you all loads. CONGRATULATIONS Dot! That's excellent news. Sorry to hear that your news wasnt so good Jemma7. Hi Bunny, hows the clomid doing?
Well, finally the computer is fixed so i will be about for a bit. On day 28 of cycle now and temp has been up and down, all over the place all month. Had a positive OPK on something like day 12 but no p now. Done a preg test but BFN Not sure whats going on. apart from the fact that i hate having PCO, it messes you up completely. My cycles are often 30-35 days recently, so.....i dont know. Had prog test this month to see if I ov'd and seeing cons on friday to find results. One thing I have had for the past couple of weeks though is a shooting pain in my abdomen. Maybe I am imagining it but i've had some weird pains and pulling feelings like i've never had before. I've also felt q sick. could this be??? what sort of pains have other pg people felt? my friend is 25 weeks now and she said at the beginning she had period like pains.

bunny2 · 05/08/2003 22:50

Hi Egypt, good to have you back. I'm on cycle 2 of clomid and no news yet but maybe in a week or two. Good luck, hope the shooting pains are the start of something. Fingers crossed for you.

Egypt · 06/08/2003 07:34

Hi Bunny
I seem to remember reading that you knew the clomid worked for you last month. How do you know you ov'd? Did you have a scan? Or take OPKs? Good luck with them this month. Hoping the cons will give me some when I go Friday, but I've a feeling he'll want me to have an HSG to check my tubes aren't blocked first. He mentioned this the last time i went. Waiting..........

dot1 · 06/08/2003 08:33

hi Egypt - you never know - I'm still getting weird pains - pulling pains if I move too quickly - get up, or turn over in bed. And cramp-like feelings. So let's hope your pains are good news!

Egypt · 06/08/2003 12:00

Oh blimey, thats exactly it. when i stand up or even when i sit sometimes i feel like a pulling, squashing feeling. uncomfortable, but sometimes sharp pains, shooting pains. they were shooting all the way down the M1 whilst i was driving the other day! No, i am getting my hopes up for nothing i know. i think i've been eating too much lately anyway, and i did have a chronic upset tummy last week, which i think led to my tummy feeling tender to the touch and now this. we'll see!

bunny2 · 06/08/2003 22:03

Egypt, you never know, it could be good news. Re Clomid, I used OPKs to see if I was ovulating. They're not as reliable an indicator as a scan but they did show a hormonse surge which I didnt have during previous cycles. Also examined mucus this month, mmmm, nice But it was just stretchy and shimmery just like my video says fertile mucus should be.

caydeb · 09/08/2003 03:23

well went to see the Dr and am defiantely pregnant but very early on she scaned and want to do a repeat in 2 weeks I cries when she told me, and now have to get throught the next 2 months before can tell anyone else, am feeling a little alone as my best frine has just moved back to UK and have no family close by me

caydeb · 09/08/2003 03:24

forgot to add my cheesy grins.

hewlettsdaughter · 09/08/2003 07:28

great news caydeb! (where do you live?)

Egypt · 09/08/2003 10:34

CONGRATULATIONS Caydeb. Sorry you are feeling so lonely. At least you have what you always wanted and a little bit of company in your tummy! Hope you are feeling well.
Well, got the Clomid now, and just waiting for AF. Keep you posted Bunny.

caydeb · 10/08/2003 16:57

thanks I think I should stop feeling alone and start feeling very happy. I live in Grand Cayman.

bunny2 · 11/08/2003 21:39

Congratulations Caydeb. At least you have us here. .

Good luck Egypt. Any idea when your AF is due?

Egypt · 12/08/2003 17:15

Hey - great timing- got AF yesterday so starting clomid today. v excited ...bit scary. Feel like i'm taking a great life tranforming drug, like my body is going to do weird things when its just a mild stimulant really. Thought I would wait for this eve to start as I came on late yesterday. How r u getting along with yours now bunny? where are u in cycle?

hewlettsdaughter · 12/08/2003 19:42

Good luck with the clomid, Egypt. BigBird, splash - how are you doing? No sign of period yet for me, although I had a long cycle last time.

BigBird · 13/08/2003 13:02

hd - hi....I think i'm on day 25 now and still temping. Temp was down a little this morning and I think that could be a bad sign. I'm just praying it will shoot up again tomorrow. I can't handle another month of this......
Fingers crossed for us all.
