I suppose they're just being cautious incase of chemical pregnancy but you are allowed to be happy because right now, you ARE pregnant. FX it sticks for you x

Gingerbreadlady1 · 22/07/2014 18:36

Congratulations toavoid, you are pregnant!

ToAvoidConversation · 22/07/2014 18:49

Thanks everyone. Sorry for being a dick and just wading in with a BFP. I have been lurking for the last three months and it's been a hard couple of years. So I know exactly how everyone is feelings, it's bloody tough going!!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 22/07/2014 18:52

Lol! I love a bfp regardless, esp when it's someone who has had a journey getting it. You must be delighted, congrats again.

ridgway28 · 22/07/2014 20:27

toavoid congratulations yeah good news for once!!!! woop woop
af arrived while having an internal at the hospital oh the shame!!!Sad Sad Sad
but 3 rd lot of clomid start tomorrow lets hope toavoid ur luck passes on
dr did say I have an enlarged ovary what ever that means but at least I no the pain wasnt in my head x

ToAvoidConversation · 22/07/2014 20:51

Only tip I can pass on is that I took my temperature every day and the week before we DTD every day.

Fx it's sticky.

sharond101 · 22/07/2014 21:48

Ridgeway I am so sorry but at least you know now that there was something wrong you can pin point the pain to. Is the Dr going to do something about the enlarged ovary?

kurama · 22/07/2014 22:12

congrats toavoid !!! Grin day 42? ive had cycles of 31/34 on clomid for past 5 months except for this month ive had weird spotting for past 4 days. several bfns so far but that gives me hope still. that and the doc saying she thinks i could be as everything sounds positive....
that sucks ridgway fx for next cycle
dont give up hope stone id get on to chemist about it!

ridgway28 · 23/07/2014 17:28

sharon101 dr doing nothing said grin and bear it. gave me codien to take as and when.

stone id give the chemist what for also check to see if u can take ut a few days late without dtd first. some of us on here start clomid on different days depending on what we were told.

Good luck Stone.

LondonSuperTrooper · 24/07/2014 07:05

Well my clomid appointment is finally here! Unfortunately I don't think that I will be given the medicine as my BMI is still high :(
It needs to be 30 and under and it's currently 31.5 :( :( :(

kerrylou84 · 24/07/2014 08:14

Hi ladies, how is everyone doing? Have there been any more bfps? There's too much to read back on so going down the easy route lol.

Ginger, how are you doing?
Hope every one is well xxx

LondonSuperTrooper · 24/07/2014 11:14

Thanks Rigway. I'm currently waiting to be seen. I'm not holding my breath though. The consultant that in seeing is a stickler for the rules.
I'm very angry with myself & gutted that I haven't lost the excess 10lbs that puts my BMI at 30 :(

kurama · 24/07/2014 15:10

london youve done so well to get this far! we all hit a sticking point. im good today, woke up on cloud 9 and havnt come down yet despite the ic bfn again this morn. this is my longest cycle on clomid so far. poor dh is so confused.... at least if im still getting bfns next week i can go in for blood test Smile

AnnieHoo · 24/07/2014 17:15

What did the consultant say London? Surely they took some compassion, saw what progress you have made and gave you the Clomid..

Kurama what day are you on now? Has the spotting gone? Good signs...

ridgway28 · 24/07/2014 17:17

london what did they say?
kaurma how long has ur cycle been now?
I started bleeding tue but now its like nothing and on tue wed is was more brown and very light for me. TMI I no sorry Wink I started clomid on wed night worried now that its not my period and maybe I shouldnt have taken it Sad

LAM1 · 24/07/2014 21:25

Loads going on on here! You ladies could keep me reading all night to catch up.
Just need to rant a little, cycle 1 of 50mg...Result of the day 21 was 1.1. After consulting google I realise how low this is. I am getting rather depressed with it all and reading some of the stories on here I know we are only just starting this journey, if I already feel rubbish I can only imagine how some of the ladies feel. DH just said "we take each day as it comes" and didn't seem fussed, which really didn't help my mood.
Sorry for the moaning post, just needed to vent as clearly doing so at DH was pointless!
Right time to read back and catch up....

LondonSuperTrooper · 24/07/2014 22:37

Rigdway, Kurama & Annie I got the medicine! The consultant thought I had made good progress with my weight loss & wants me to carry on losing weight.

I was prescribed Tamxifen. The pharmacist at Boots was telling me that I shouldn't be paying for breast cancer medication as it's free!

Unfortunately I can't take the tablets till the end of September. I missed out on this cycle as it's CD5 for me already and next month I'm on holiday so I can't attend the scans :(

kurama · 24/07/2014 22:42

That's great that u got it London!
Yep spotting stopped again within hour of starting yest. Today is cd 40 and still getting bfns. But I haven't lost hope yet.
