Our old clomid thread is no longer allowing new comments, and it's taken me 24 hours and multiple failed comments to understand why - we filled it up So thought I'd start a new one...

I agree, been a bit of a shit week for everyone this week! Sorry everyone's having a rough time.

My dh sat me down yesterday to say he was worried about me. I'm worried about me too! But in my mind the only fix is a baby. This is the month where I've been told to stop having sex at it looked like 6-10 eggs were possibly preparing and I'd be at risk of multiples. I've got some signs of ovulation today, but my tracking scan isn't until tomorrow evening. I will be so pissed off it tomorrow night, when my dh is out until sat eve, I'm told actually there's only one or two eggs and to have sex ASAP.

@seven201 sorry you're feeling it too. Keep us posted tomorrow and sat might not be too late

Jemstar33 · 11/07/2019 20:01

@seven201 I would be tempted to do it tonight 😄

Jesskir89 · 11/07/2019 20:45

What's the worse that could happen? Octoplets? Lol not sure how you spell it though!

seven201 · 11/07/2019 20:48

Thanks @Jesskir89
That's not what I need to hear @Jemstar33 as it's so tempting! My dh has just cancelled his night out in case he's needed! It also makes my life less stressful as I didn't really want to take my can't sit still 3 year old to watch me have an internal scan!

seven201 · 11/07/2019 20:48

Haha! Octuplets stuck in my blocked Fallopian tubeGrin

Jemstar33 · 11/07/2019 21:08

@seven201 he’s a gooden! Sounds like you’re all set! Let us know how you go tomorrow.

How’s everyone’s cervical mucus been during their TWW? Some days I feel like period is starting others I feel really dry. I’m not sure what’s going on down there.

Pinktruffle · 12/07/2019 11:10

I have to be honest @seven201, I would definitely be on it this month, multiple births would be better than none! You have a lot of self control

Pinktruffle · 12/07/2019 11:38

@doomkittycleo I had a similar situation with DH on my last period, I was pretty inconsolable and i dont think he knew what to do and anything he would have said would just have upset me further. They are damned if they do and damned if they dont. When I'm feeling rational, I do feel sorry for him. I k ow he feels helpless and I feel guilty because the problem is with me, if he had married someone else, he would be a dad by now.

Jesskir89 · 12/07/2019 12:15

I'm so nervous girls day 27 today and no af I know it's early but the last 3 month's I've had af by now x

Jesskir89 · 12/07/2019 12:30

And @Pinktruffle you can't blame yourself. I did for a while but mother nature is to blame and he loves you and wouldn't want to marry anyone else

Marmite83 · 12/07/2019 14:01

Fingers crossed for you @Jesskir89, when are you going to test?

doomkittycleo · 12/07/2019 14:02

@seven201 looks like I’m in the same boat as you. Not had my LH surge so went back for another scan and she’s said I have 5 dominant follicles and to stop BDing for the rest of this cycle.

Clearly the clomid has worked too well, and that was month 5, so think we’re gonna stop it now.

My plan is now to take a couple of months off to see if we have any luck naturally and if no luck, will start ivf.

Jemstar33 · 12/07/2019 15:19

@Pinktruffle so sorry you feel like that

@Jesskir89 ooh exciting! Are you feeling any different? I’m on day 25 and feeling so moody. I’m so stressed with work too. Not good.

@doomkittycleo what do the dominant follicles mean? Sounds like a good plan 😀

doomkittycleo · 12/07/2019 15:25

@Jemstar33 it means that I’m at risk of releasing 5 eggs and conceiving quintuplets it we BD (which we did last night not knowing). I haven’t had a positive opk yet, so hopefully it’ll be ok, but it looks like I’m overstimulating. So glad I went for the private scans.

I’m quite upset about the whole thing tbh, but it’s out of my hands now. Just gotta wait for af, but no idea when that’s gonna be as I haven’t ovulated yet.

Jemstar33 · 12/07/2019 15:30

I’m worried about that too @doomkittycleo. I’ve never had ovulation pains so bad or had such a clear positive opk

It is upsetting, it’s like there’s always something! Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Marmite83 · 12/07/2019 15:52

Oh that's a pain @doomkittycleo although hopefully it means that if you do end up going for IVF you won't need to spend so much money on medication as you'll need a low dose of stims. It took me a couple of months to find the clinic I was happy with, go to the open evening and to figure out costs and go to the initial consultation so just bear that in mind if you're wanting to actually start IVF in a couple of months. Not trying to stress you out, just though it was worth mentioning. Hopefully some magic will happen for you before then anyway.

Jesskir89 · 12/07/2019 16:06

Sorry girls I've tested and think I am! Going to go for a digital now x

What are you sorry for @jesskir89, that's fabulous news! Congratulations xxx

Jesskir89 · 12/07/2019 16:21

Sorry for the delay lol thanks love I'll keep you posted. Over 2.5 years this could be proof it WILL work for us all x

seven201 · 12/07/2019 16:30

@Jesskir89 that's most definitely positive!!! Congratulations xx

seven201 · 12/07/2019 16:32

@doomkittycleo sorry to read you're in the same boat. It's so frustrating and just devastating really. I think I'm going to start looking into ivf clinics too.

seven201 · 12/07/2019 16:33

@Marmite83 when do you start the ivf process? I think you said it would be soon.

Marmite83 · 12/07/2019 16:37

That's fantastic news @Jesskir89, congratulations!

@seven201 I have my baseline scan on either Thurs or Friday next week and start stims that evening!

Jemstar33 · 12/07/2019 16:38

Congratulations @Jesskir89 so happy for you!! X
