We've filled up the thread!

I'll start this one, then start tagging

Can I ask all a question, a bit of a TMI one? So, I’ve been doing this level of exercise for a while now and then last week and tonight I’m weeing when running/ jumping, could this be a clomid side effect? Something else? Or absolutely nothing? Clomid seems to be the only thing that has changed

Hi ladies, just checking in to see how you're all doing. Huge congratulations to @jemstar33 so pleased for you! @amymaria2 and @doomkittycleo good look for tomorrow. @marmite83 I'm so sorry for your loss, all the best of luck on your new journey x

Thank you so much @jesskir89 xx

Thanks everyone. I was really happy with my size/shape earlier in the year. I need to get back to that place. I don't want to weigh myself but I think my bmi is probably around 28 at the moment. Not disastrous but I'd love to be in the healthy bracket again. Money is tight but I might join a gym as I can see the weather being an excuse for me not going for a run! It's the chocolate and cakes that's my biggest problem. I have zero willpower. My sister used to think 'biscuit or baby?' When she was trying to lose weight while ttc. I think I just forget about the affect on ttc when I'm feeling stressed, so just eat what I want then feel guilty and annoyed at myself.

I think most people get some feelings of extreme jealously when ttc for a while. I really get pissed off with how unfair it all is. For me it comes in phases, so sometimes every pregnant person annoys the hell out of me, other times I'm ok about it. No idea why I feel so differently about it sometimes. I snapped at a man at work who was telling me when they would have their yet to be conceived second child. He really got to me, but he was just making chit-chat.

@DobbieFreeElf sorry don't know about the wee thing. I didn't have that on clomid.

@Jesskir89 how are you doing?

@seven201 I'm really good thanks. In my 15th week now it still doesn't seem real. I remember you telling me about the biscuit or baby thing lol. How are you getting on? What round of chlomid are you on? X

@Jesskir89 aw 15 weeks already. That seems to have flown by, but I'm sure not for you.

I only had two rounds of clomid as it was thinning my womb lining. Then tried something else (similar to letrazole, can't remember the name) but that over stimulated my ovaries. I had my ovaries drilled and my Fallopian tube unblocked in July. Am on metaformin at the moment, meant to just help regulate cycles. Don't think it's doing anything to be honest. But currently feel 'ok' as the surgery was a bit of a fresh start. Will start ivf in the new year if not pregnant by then. Going to get healthy! Sorry, that was long!

@seven201 sorry you've been through all that! I had to have surgery before chlomid it's awful the things we go through. All the best of luck to you. I was on metformin for nearly a year too x

@seven201 I feel you in the weight thing! I was over 30 (32-33) bmi when we started ttc. I already knew I was not healthy I could feel it bordering on size 18-20. I started low carb and shed it gradually but enough for me to feel like I was progressing. Also because of the lack of periods I was having it really affected my mood, I was so depressed and docs wanted to give me meds I said no. They never even mentioned my periods. Next thing I know doc says I'm at 30 bmi and can now be referred to the fertility clinic think in Jan. forward to now I'm size 14 lost over 40lbs since last November and I feel great. It's hard at first with the cravings and giving up stuff but u find ways with the motivation (yay babies!). I found myself making low carb desserts that really help me when I have cravings !

@seven201 oh also I don't exercise except for the odd yoga and walking. Although I probably should more !

Oh my gosh @Rinoa that is an amazing achievement!! Well done you!

I've had success with MyFitnessPal pal and Fitbit steps/running so may go down that route again.

Hi girls, I've been having a melt down all day I tested this morning and got these results, I just don't believe it, I actually had two glasses of wine last night so convinced myself it was to much alcohol in my wee for an hour or so, 😂 now I'm just wondering if it's even anything to get excited about, there so faint, can you all see the second lines? I'm not sure what to do with myself!

@AmyMaria2 oh I’m so happy for you! They are defo positives. ❤️ I’m actually about to cry! Your last go too 😭 over the moon for you!!!! Xxxx

@AmyMaria2 oh my goodness!!! Congratulations!! ❤️

@Jemstar33 @LaurenN23 omg thank you so much I can't believe it I am in complete shock. I see my consultant Thursday so can't wait for that, it may feel real then if she confirms it to me😂 I want to get a digital but I'm scared it will be to early and seeing 'not pregnant' really won't help right now!! xxx

@AmyMaria2 it will 100% be a positive on digital!! Look how dark the line is! So happy for you 💕

Congratulations! Brilliant to see some positive stories X

@LaurenN23 I might get one then, something needs to make it seem real!

@Chichz thank you! Xx

@AmyMaria2 I know what you mean, I needed a digital one too, it will be positive, do it! Have you told DP yet? Honestly so happy for you ❤️ Xx

@Jemstar33 I'm gonna get a digital in a while I think! Dp had half a day at work as he got rained off so he came in at midday to me having a meltdown but it was quite lucky really I'm glad he's been here with me! Thank you so much, we were both so lucky this month, fingers crossed for everyone else! xx

@AmyMaria2 Whoo hoo! Congratulations 🥳 that's more than a faint!

@Rinoa thank you so much x

Congratulations @AmyMaria2! Proof that clomid works! So pleased for you

@AmyMaria2 congratulations!! Definitely positive! X

@AmyMaria2 congratulations hun. Don’t worry about the couple of glasses of wine last night. As long as you stop now you know you’ll be fine.

I drank a couple of times the week I got my bfp with DD, she turned out fine 😊.

I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

DP is getting ready to stick me 💉 but we gotta get DD to bed first.
