How you feeling ginger?xxx

kurama · 24/06/2014 09:58

Lost this thread so will read back soon but yay ginger! Gives us all hope Smile

Gingerbreadlady1 · 24/06/2014 10:22

Morning everyone, wondered where you'd got to kurama..

kerry I feel like a fraud, did another test today, still can't quite believe it. No symptoms but still gentle crampy feelings.

How's everyone else getting on?

kerrylou84 · 24/06/2014 10:29

It's taken me just a couple of weeks ago to start showing people my bump, I still feel embarrassed around my mam and nanna for some reason though. Not bothered around graham, will lie on sofa and just let it all hang out lol. I do t know why I feel like this. My partners dad has the habit of putting his hand on my bump and I hate it......really don't like it at all.

It took me a few weeks to say I was pregnant, I would tell work I was going to have a baby but never said pregnant.
It will take a while to get used to it, think it's because of all the negative months etc, but once you see that first scan things will start to become real xxx

Gingerbreadlady1 · 24/06/2014 10:46

As you say, all of us here been ttc for ages so its months/years of bfn's. Tough one with fil, think I'd say something or get dp to as will only get worse as your bump gets bigger hon

kerrylou84 · 24/06/2014 11:23

Yeah he's already said I don't feel comfortable about it. Il just punch him next time and blame it in the hormones lol.

The tiredness is starting to kick in again, been past couple of days all I've wanted to do is sleep

kurama · 24/06/2014 12:53

ive been ill for past 2 weeks then sat I was at work all day then sis 18th in eve and carboot all day sun and at dhs gdads. came to look for you this morn and all my threads had vanished! spent ages looking for you all againBlush

StoneBaby · 24/06/2014 17:23

kurama I hope you're feeling better. How many cd are you?

Cd7 scan for me. Left ovary got nothing and the right one has multiple follicles of good size for this date. FC is wondering if we may have to 'cancel' this month (meaning no iui due to high risk of multiple ovulation). Will probably know on Friday.
Wondering if it's worth dtd at home anyway Hmm

Stone - good luck. Hope you don't need to cancel the IUI. But if you do then I would just dtd at home! Do you normally have a trigger injection as well?

I had cd14 scan and have two follies 18mm and 15mm. Lining is still on low side at 6.4mm but the dr was hoping that it would grow to the minimum 7mm they like to see by the time I ovulate - they think still 2 days to go.

Do opks work on clomid? I don't have a positive on my opk so far.

Firsttimer9981 · 24/06/2014 18:54

opks have been working for me with clomid. Have you tested all through the month?

how do you tell if your lining is an ok thickness? My af is only lasting 48 hours now so I'm worried that means my lining is too thin.

Oh great. How useful. A spell caster. If that doesn't work, see my earlier comments on prog cream firsttimer

Triplespin · 24/06/2014 19:41

First timer - I am being scanned (follicle tracking) and so know the thickness of my lining. I think clomid after 3 rounds is not recommended for exactly this reason. Your AFs lasting only two days could also be an indication. Can you discuss this with your GP/ fertility clinic? I will probably ask to switch to another drug after myfirst round as clomid has also dried up my cm.

Progesterone helps after ovulation so definitely worth a try.

I reported it as a spam to MN.

Spell caster?!!??

Wish I'd got the details, could do with a bit of a lottery win...Wink

kurama · 25/06/2014 08:24

stone I'm feeling a bit better now. On cd11 today Confused so fx it buggers off soon!

LondonSuperTrooper · 25/06/2014 10:08

Ginger how are you doing?

Kurama I hope that you will feel better very soon.

CD27 & BFN for me :(

Also, I had a thought. For the last 7 months (since my miscarriage) my period are now around 2 days of bleeding. Will going on clomid (or equivalent) affect this and make it worse? That is, stop my period all together?

StoneBaby · 25/06/2014 10:32

london my period pre clomid were around 5 days. On clomid 3 days. I think you will still get a bleed even if short?

OP posts:
StoneBaby · 25/06/2014 10:33

triple I think we'll still be dtd even if iui is no go. I inject a trigger shot the day prior to iui too.
