Congratulations 🥳

DobbieFreeElf · 23/10/2019 19:26

@Helena112 congratulations!

Yes, I think I'll try and see the gp in the beginning part of this cycle and see what they can offer! (Fingers crosses the car comes home in one piece! It's already cost over £500)

Helena112 · 23/10/2019 20:11

Thank you everyone - I'm still in total shock !! 💖

CharlotteCx · 23/10/2019 20:14

Has anyone found Clomid to have shortened there period Days? I'm usually on my af for 6 days. I'm on my 3rd today and have come off already?

LJM83 · 23/10/2019 20:41

Hi all - we have been TTC for nearly 2 years with no joy. I have another appointment with the specialist on Monday to discuss Clomid - although I ovulate every month. Is anyone else in my situation? Thanks x

@Helena112 and @BinkyB4 congratulations! Super news. X

BinkyB4 · 23/10/2019 21:29

@Helena112 congratulations!

Thank you for everybody’s well wishes......I can’t stop looking at the tests!

DobbieFreeElf · 23/10/2019 21:58

Hi @LJM83 I have no problems ovulating but have a short luteal phase, hubby's got a slightly low count too, I've done 2 rounds of clomid and 1 more to try

@CharlotteCx might be because the clomid has thinned your lining, it is one of the common side effects

CharlotteCx · 24/10/2019 05:56

@DobbieFreeElf oh great 😣

CharlotteCx · 24/10/2019 06:29

Oh no I'm back to spotting now so this is my 4th day I always am lighter on my 5th day so hopefully it holds out til then.. never thought I'd say I wanted my period to hang around lol.

Jemstar33 · 24/10/2019 06:54

Hi everyone hope you’re all doing good. Been watching from afar.

@doomkittycleo good luck with the ivf, sending good luck your way.

@BinkyB4 yay congratulations to you and @Helena112 praying for sticky babies for you. @helena112 not to scare you and it prob means nothing but my tests were also very strong and I’ve had two scans since which has shown 2 babies! I’m over the moon but also very nervous.

@Marmite83 @seven201 ❤️❤️

DobbieFreeElf · 24/10/2019 07:02

Ahhhh twins! That's amazing @Jemstar33!!! xx

BinkyB4 · 24/10/2019 07:45

@Jemstar33 wowee twins!!! How exciting!!
Do they advise an early scan once you get your BFP?

Jemstar33 · 24/10/2019 07:57

Thanks @DobbieFreeElf how are you doing? Xx

@binkyb4 for me if was defo worth it, I’m very anxious that something will go wrong given last mc. So it’s been nice to see the heartbeats, I’ve also had no symptoms apart from extreme tiredness so I’m constantly worrying. I know that @AmyMaria2 consultant gave her a scan to check for multiples because of clomid. Mine didn’t so I paid for private. There was a deal on near me, 2 scans for £80 which has been fairly cheap compared to others. So excited for you!! Xx

doomkittycleo · 24/10/2019 08:16

@jemstar33 thanks hun, got my trigger shot tonight and egg collection is Saturday. Getting nervous now!

Congratulations @Helena112 and @BinkyB4 that’s awesome news guys! 💐 🎉

Goingbacktokansascity · 24/10/2019 09:06

@Jemstar33 wow congratulations !! Too babies! Perfect!

Spotting has just started day 24 🙄 too heavy to be implantation or anything positive

seven201 · 24/10/2019 09:54

@Jemstar33 wow! Two babies! So exciting. How many weeks are you now?

@Goingbacktokansascity oh bum. That's rubbish. Definitely try and get the progesterone pessaries if you can. I wonder if it's something you can buy yourself anyway. Obvs with research and not from anywhere dodgy!

@doomkittycleo eek, that's exciting. Fingers crossed they collect lots of good quality ones.

@Marmite83 how are you getting on?

Goingbacktokansascity · 24/10/2019 10:30

I’ve never had a problem with my lining and letrozole is good for lining so not concerned about that! I’ve never had a period less than 28 day cycle so this is so weird 😭

Jemstar33 · 24/10/2019 11:24

@goingbacktokansascity thank you! Sorry AF has turned up. Maybe the change in cycle is a good thing and next month maybe be your lucky one 🤞🏽

@seven201 thanks so much very nervous and still early days but so happy. I’m 8+4 now, been the longest few weeks of my life. How are you doing?

gwen7896 · 24/10/2019 11:34

Congratulations @Jemstar33 , so happy for you :)!!

DobbieFreeElf · 24/10/2019 12:49

@Goingbacktokansascity Did you also accidentally take your clomid early this month or was that someone else? I did and I came on earlier than usual, I think that the day or 2 early has brought everything forward for me.

I'm counting today as CD1 as yesterday was nothing more than spotting really, we can be cycle buddies this month!

Goingbacktokansascity · 24/10/2019 13:30

@dobbie Yeah that was me! today is super super heavy but I’ll see what it’s like over night before deciding if today or tomorrow is CD 1

DobbieFreeElf · 24/10/2019 14:32

@Goingbacktokansascity Mine's the opposite, just a very very light brown bleed with some very dark (almost black) clots. Maybe this is another spotting day...

seven201 · 24/10/2019 21:09

@Jemstar33 I'm fine. Been distracting myself by decorating during half term. So nice that you've seen the heartbeats (2!!!!) now.

I think today is my ovulation day (positive opk 2 days ago but temp dip this morning) but as is typical was about to get on with baby making when my friend called who's nearly 37 weeks to say her baby's movements have changed so can I come straight over to look after their 3 y/o so they can go to the hospital. I'm going to wake my husband up in the early hours when I get to go home! I feel irrationally really annoyed about missing the 'perfect time', but also massively pissed off at myself for being such a massive selfish prick! I've lost all perspective lately! Even my laid back dh looked upset. We had sex last night, so it probably doesn't actually matter about tonight. Just having an unnecessary rant.

Goingbacktokansascity · 25/10/2019 07:19

@seven201 eurgh sorry to hear that, sounds tough, hope hubby appreciates the wake up call.

I’m counting yesterday at cycle day 1 as it was quite heavy so today CD2 and back on the drugs 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
