The old thread which was so popular has become full so thought we'd start one here again for us all to support one another through the clomid journey and celebrate it's successes xx

kurama · 29/03/2014 21:54

how is everyone this weekend?

Fankletastic · 30/03/2014 15:30

Sorry Ginger - AF is a total bitch.

I'm still waiting for her...she'll get me though. Am sure of it.

Today is hell on FB- I've decided not to look at it for the rest of the day.

kurama · 30/03/2014 17:15

I think im starting to get ov pains.... on the left side this time. now lets see if this ovary does same as right one or not.... its very quiet here today. im out with dh at his grandads with an uncle watching footie. I may support liverpool but im still extremely bored.....

StoneBaby · 30/03/2014 18:25

Scan tomorrow

Boo to AF, good luck on the 2wwSmile

StoneBaby · 30/03/2014 18:26

Oh and proper dtd starts tomorrow cd 13!!

kurama · 30/03/2014 23:34

dull pain on left side and now sharp pains on right. not impressed that it seems that its on the right side again.

kurama · 31/03/2014 09:24

and still no solid smiley. im almost out of sticks Sad

Fankletastic · 31/03/2014 09:53

Well I woke up to AF this morning Hmm

Kurama- sometimes testing in the afternoon is more likely to show up positive since the lh surge usually happens then.

How's everyone else holding up? Ginger- we're 'almost' cycle buddies again. Let's do this!! My first reaction is obviously to feel sorry for myself but I need to try to think of positive things, which is particularly hard right now as we have had the most terrible news of family illness. My FIL has been diagnosed with lung cancer. He's never smoked. DH is struggling. It's so sad. He normally tries to cheer me up when AF arrives but he understandably doesn't have the energy for that today.

Wondering if i should start back on clomid tomorrow...?

ItsChristmaass · 31/03/2014 10:50

Hiya all. Hope everyone's holding up okay. I've just booked my scan in for Thursday. I really hope taking the clomid on different days has still worked okay with me. Only time will tell!
Kurama I support Liverpool too Grin I was ridiculously happy yesterday!

StoneBaby · 31/03/2014 11:42

So had my cd13 scan. One egg of interest, my cyst size has increased too.

So if this month doesn't work will do IUI next month while on Clomid.

kerrylou84 · 31/03/2014 13:10

Hi all, hope everyone is well.

fankle sorry to hear AF got you, and even more sorry to hear about your father in law. Awful news xxx

Just wondering, has anyone tried reflexology yet? It's really worth a go. Also when you book ask them to use oils for fertility.

Good luck everyone xxx

kurama · 31/03/2014 16:26

christmas I know it was a great result! especially as my mums dp supports spurs Grin

kurama · 31/03/2014 18:37

hey I need some advice. although bloods indicated that I ovd last month the doc says it should happen between cd 10-16. I seem yo have 29 day cycles. now I have had a flashy smiley for past 4 days. now what if the hormone levels were high enough to give a flashy smiley but not to release the egg? so maybe the 3 days of pain wernt ov pain but my body trying to get ready and the ruptured cyst could have been the egg that was suppost to be released?

sorry for long confusing post. my brain works in strange waysConfused

Gingerbreadlady1 · 31/03/2014 20:38

fankle I'm so so so sorry to hear about your fil. That's just awful. And a double whammy with the bitch showing up. You must feel rotten. Not much will cheer you up. But we are cycle buds, we can do this annie did. Today I took my second tablet. Virtual hug sent......

stone good news on the follicle, all good to go.

Hi kerry how u keeping?

kurama not sure hon Confused

as the bloods assume I ovd last month they arnt doing anymore tests on mw this month :(

kerrylou84 · 01/04/2014 09:01

That's not eight Kurama, just cos it worked one month doesn't mean it will work the rest of the time. I had bloods done every month, if I didn't ovulate one week then I would go back for bloods the next, sometimes I would have up to 7blood tests a month til they showed I ovulated. I would just book in with a nurse and tell her you want day 21 progesterone tests, therws no harm in booking it yourself.

Hi ginger, I'm good thanks. Well I say that but this little bean has got me wacked! Still waiting for appointment for my scan. Getting a bit impatient about it all and I'm only 9weeks 3days lol xxx

kerrylou84 · 01/04/2014 12:20

Sorry meant to say right........not eight lol

kurama · 01/04/2014 13:52

lol I guessed. yer I think I might just do that Smile

Fankletastic · 01/04/2014 22:25

Thanks Ginger. Feel we are getting a lot of shit dished out to us at the moment. But it puts our woes re infertility into perspective a bit. At least we have our health.

Took my first pill today. Officially on 4th cycle of clomid (after a 5 month break). Can't say I'm very hopeful...and I'm really not looking forward to the night sweats and constipation. But I feel like I should give it a go while waiting on our ACU appointment...should be within next 4 weeks.

Your appointment must be coming up too now...?

kurama · 02/04/2014 09:29

im only half way through my clomid prescription but looks like im not gonna ov this month as im on day 8 of flashy smileys and on cd 18 now...

StoneBaby · 02/04/2014 16:46

I opk yesterday cd13 for the 1st time in 6 months. No smiley so I decided not to test anymore as I don't want to get depressed.

Kurama good luck

kurama · 02/04/2014 20:54

thanks. im not sure what to think now as the ov like pain has come back again. god i need a good night out getting pissed up! guarenteed as soon as i book it ill get a bfp
