[IsaacRalph]

Hey and welcome lanet I'm doing iui this month too on injectables! Wow 3 years is a long time its neen almost two for me and most girls on here! Your nice and young though so hopefully plenty of time for your doctors to work some magic and get you that bfp! Oh and 8 babies is verging on the excessive side isn't it? Goodluck where are you in your cycle? ?
Hey girls you sound like your enjoying Halloween. Taking my little boy out next week for the first time trick or treating! I think you guys over in America do it way better than us?
Afm- relaxing weekend away for me and dh this week my sister is looking after isaac. We're visiting London and last night had a 7 course taster meal at a friends restaurant it was delicious! Extra hour in bed as the clocks went back last night and today after our full om cooked breakfast going site seeing around London go to harrods, Buckingham palace etc! Back home tomoz so catch up then.
Tested again tommy?

Hello Lanet I'm on femara too, this is my 3rd cycle.

I'm fortunate none of my friend have done the FB announcements. 2 have waited until 18 weeks to tell me but I did the same last time round. I couldn't work out how to tell a couple of friends who'd been trying for years. Kept praying they'd have news first, one did the other announced when I was almost due, both of them had me in tears of joy and relief.

I'm going to test again today and if nothing I think I should contact the clinic tomorrow.

OMG I can't believe it got a BFP on a Clearblue digital, it says 1-2 wks post ovulation. So either the Asda cheapos weren't sensitive enough or my body is slow to show up pregnant. IYKWIM, with DS I'd given up hope and wasn't actually sure I was in the 2ww, so didn't test until about 18dpo and got the same 1-2. Not sure where I was with my chemical.
Nervously excited.

Fingers crossed for you all.

I've been lurking until I had time to type up a proper reply. But I just had to say OMG TOMMY YAYAYAYAYYYYYYY~! So many congrats, praying it's sticky sticky sticky and an easy ride for you!

I'll try to post again later when I'm on a real computer instead of my kindle.

 

[CaliDreaming]

Tommyg, congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Woo hoo Tommy excellent news! Xx

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Yay Tommy!!! That is fantastic news - way to go! Big hugs to you

Also welcome Lanet :wave:

Will write more later just wanted to congratulate Tommy!! Woo-hoo!

 

[lanet]

Tommy that awesome news!!!!

Isaac thank you for the warm welcome. Which injectables are you using?
I'm only day 4 today. I have myself my first shot last night.
I go in for a follie check nov. 4. Last time I had to come back a couple says later bc I'm a late ovulater so I'm hoping for 4 nice follies on that day!!

 

[gemmy]

Oh wow tommy - congratulations! !! You must be on cloud nine so pleased for you

Welcome lanet!!!

Cd1 for me finally x

 

[eyemom]

Isaac I don't know if I forgot you were a nurse of if I actually never knew. That's pretty cool. If you gotta have injections at least you know you're pro. Glad you're tolerating everything well. Hope your u/s goes well too! Also, that 7 course meal you mentioned sounds amaaaazing!

Ladies, I'd love to see pics of your kids all dressed up if you don't mind! Little Buzz Lightyear and Superman! Awesome! My little girl is going to be a lady bug. She was a lady bug her first Halloween when she was 8 mos old. So I really wanted to do something different, but she has seen pictures, and she was dead set on being a "big kid lady bug." I have some pics from a party last weekend if I can get around to posting. (I'll put it in a separate post b/c I'll probably delete after it's been up for a bit.)

Orchid, Halloween sounds super fun at your house! Glad you've been having fun with it.

Hi lanet and welcome. Sorry you're having a tough go of it, but FX the meds and this IUI does the trick!

Tommy, congrats again! Is it sinking in yet? Hope you stick around here, would love to follow how everything goes. Does that make me sound like a stalker? Just love hearing good news around here and I'm always cheering for you.

Gemmy, sorry it's CD1 but new cycle new hopes I guess?

AFM, I'm CD11, got what I'd call an "almost positive" OPK last night. So I'm looking to get a +opk tonight or maybe tomorrow. Will be glad when we can DTD just because we want to instead of all this business being at the front of our minds, ya know?

Hope everyone's having a good weekend!

 

[gemmy]

Thanks eye mom yes it is new hopes, cd1 is always the worst. I am also tired of the planned although doc told us not too it is impossible not to think of it like that. Wow you are close to ov already that is great, hopefully you will get the next bfp and we will follow one by one, this might be a lucky thread

 

[tommyg]

Thanks for all the congratulations!
It's slowly slowly sinking in bit I think it will take a wee bit longer for me to truely get excited the last time I got a BFP I lost it 3 days later.
Yes I'll keep hanging about here not ready to move on just yet. But I look forward to the day when this thread is empty!

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Sorry the witch got you gemmy! Tommy - so happy for you. Hoping and praying it's a sticky bean and you have a H&H 9 months!

Just a quick message as need to head to bed but I am 10dpo and like clockwork have sore bbs..... My cycles are so bloody routine it's ridiculous! Anyway another month out for me although don't expect AF til probably Friday. Here's hoping the Fertilaid will help.....

Hugs to you all x

 

[tommyg]

White don't write this cycle off yet. My bbs did their normal tiny bit sore just after ovulation then progressively getting sorer peaking around 11 dpo before easeing off.

 

[tommyg]

Its turned out to be another chemical I was ok with it until the clinic told me I should sit out the next 2 months to give my body time to recover!!! I said I could see the point if I'd been 2 or 3 months pregnant but not just after a day. They then said to wait a month. I'm gutted!!!
Another month wasted - people just don't get it.

 

[lanet]

Oh I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how that feels hugs to you

 

[CaliDreaming]

So sorry tommyg. I had never heard of any doctor making a woman wait after a chemical either.

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Tommy I am so sorry. Sending you lots of hugs Life just isn't fair sometimes

I'm surprised by the waiting part as well. Especially because a lot of the time people have chemicals and don't even know they were pregnant! I doubt they would wait.... Maybe it's more for the emotional side of it all - all the stress, ups and downs, heartache etc etc.....

We're here if you want to talk

 

[tommyg]

I certainly won't be taking precautions. But I'm trying to decide if I should ignore the advice and carry on with the femara. It was one of the fertility nurses who said it but I can't decide if it is just the "standard advice" rather than anything else.

Exactly if I hadn't tested or not phoned first thing this morning they and I would be none the wiser to it.

 

[IsaacRalph]

Oh no tommy so so sorry! I really do not think you need to wait at all what your having now is like a normal period maybe a bit heavier. Your body doesn't need to recover because like you said a chemical isddifferent from having a miscarriage say at 9 weeks! Xx
