@Happinesscomesfromwithin how are you? I'm really hoping it was just spotting. Hope you're ok xo

chloedancer897 · 04/05/2021 13:28

@Happinesscomesfromwithin thinking of you xxx

Shelleybe · 04/05/2021 16:49

@Happinesscomesfromwithin how are you doing? Been thinking of you

@chloedancer897 how you feeling? Hope doing ok. Are you starting next cycle

How’s everyone? I got my bloods today so see what progesterone was next few days. All fairy quiet with me. No symptoms...I’m 7dpo I think...

Luna1108 · 04/05/2021 18:18

@Happinesscomesfromwithin I was thinking about you this morning, hope you’re ok.

@Shelleybe I’m still trying to be optimistic, I can’t do it for myself but I can do it for you!

@chloedancer897 are you at testing stage? I’m not sure what dpo everyone’s on.

I’m 3DPO today and already feel defeated! Started reading up on my issues again and just thought to myself that it’ll never bloody happen. This journey is awful. Not sure I can do it for much longer to be honest, may just have to accept my lot.

Shelleybe · 04/05/2021 18:41

@Luna1108 aw I totally get you... then this TWW just honestly drags and makes it hard. I am not optimistic and feel so much pressure like if doesn’t happen will partner want to stay. He said to me when we first met it’s all he ever wanted and it was deal breaker for him. So I just feel like this big failure..uhh! Hope you got some doggy cuddles x

chloedancer897 · 04/05/2021 19:55

@Shelleybe starting cycle 3 today thanks xx hope you're doing ok

@Luna1108 AF came yesterday so onto the next round

Shelleybe · 04/05/2021 20:29

@chloedancer897 good luck this round. Sending baby dust x

Shelleybe · 05/05/2021 17:18

So not being scanned but just got blood work from yesterday 175.20... I’m on 50mg clomid... does that not seem crazy high... having a panic...

Shelleybe · 05/05/2021 17:21

Progesterone 175.20

Luna1108 · 05/05/2021 17:34

@Shelleybe that’s a great number!! Eeek this could be exciting for you! Did your clinic say anything about it??

Shelleybe · 05/05/2021 17:39

@Luna1108 does it not seem like too high. Only got number from receptionist.. jumped from around 81... I know good to have ovulated but could that be hyper stimulation? Kinda shocked

Luna1108 · 05/05/2021 18:42

@Shelleybe oh I don’t know! I thought higher meant better chance of a BFP but not sure where I got that from.

Shelleybe · 05/05/2021 19:24

@Luna1108 I haven’t a clue as I thought that figure seemed very high I actually asked secretary to repeat it a few times... I have cramps but nothing diff to last month have been way more tired this month but literally since my AF

chloedancer897 · 05/05/2021 19:35

@Shelleybe I did a bit of research about progesterone as mine was really high on clomid. As long as it's over 30 it's a good sign. It doesn't matter what the upper number is. And it doesn't mean you're likely to have twins or definitely get pregnant (as I really did think it meant that!) but that's brilliant news. You've ovulated! Fingers crossed. You must be testing soon?x

Shelleybe · 05/05/2021 19:50

@chloedancer897 thanks a mil. So glad for you and luna response. I’m 8dpo so I would say probably too early too test yet... due AF on 11th... had more of panic as just thought it seemed too high and can’t see much info on numbers that high. Was more concerned would overstimulate and mean like i be off the clomid then x

chloedancer897 · 05/05/2021 19:56

@Shelleybe the numbers are great! Will you test early or wait? It's such a hard call to make isn't it?

Shelleybe · 05/05/2021 19:58

@chloedancer897 I hate those bloody BFNs. I don’t know. I’ve no sore boobs... like nothing else symptoms wise... Just cramps but like same as last month..: how soon could I test do ya think?

chloedancer897 · 05/05/2021 21:59

@Shelleybe you can use FRER from 5 days before. The thing about testing early is that you still have your hopes up even if it's BFN. I never truly believe it until AF arrives. So I usually test the day before because you'd definitely get a BFP then if it was going to happen and that way I don't sit and hope. It's hard to know. I have everything crossed for you x

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 06/05/2021 09:11

Thanks for all your kind messages. It was a chemical - but I've been cleared to take clomid again this cycle so I'm starting today cycle day 4. Praying for a sticky this cycle. Hope you are all well and get your bfps this month. Thanks for the support.

Shelleybe · 06/05/2021 09:25

@chloedancer897 Yeah I’m going try wait till AF too many BFNs and I just find myself staying hopeful and it’s killer. I say that now but I bet by weekend I’ll want to test. I am hoping with 175 he doesn’t reduce me down next month on clomid. Bit of head wreck I nearly prefer not to have known the figure... cause I’m thinking of everything... you are on third tablet today?

Shelleybe · 06/05/2021 09:26

@Happinesscomesfromwithin I’m so sorry. Hope you are doing ok and being kind to yourself. Good luck this month. I have been drinking pomegranate juice hoping helps x

Shelleybe · 06/05/2021 15:44

Has anyone been emotional irrational etc during this... my partner doesn’t seem understand hormonal..
