[MarsMaiden]

*waves* Hi everyone! Hope all are doing well gearing up or waiting out their cycles! Just over another week for before I start getting stabby again - can't believe I look forward to it so much!

And have just remembered that I have forgotten to take my damn pills this morning so am going to have to trot home at lunchtime to take them! Like I havent got anything better to do that use my lunch to take stupid pills that make me bloated and grumpy and hungry. lol!

Lol I bet as you wrote that you though I haven't taken them. So what other symptoms do you get from clomid. I may have to take them. Got to see doctor at 10.10 this morning x

what a nightmare mars, hmm i can't believe you're looking forward to injecting yourself lol! i couldn't do mine, hubby had to do it for me!

missymoomoo - clomid side effects are different for everyone, i get really bad headaches, and generally feel very depressed, and kind of numb if you know what i mean? i really don't like taking it at all

 

[scomar]

Clomid doesnt seem to have any effect on my so i guess am lucky.
Hopefully you will be the same !

 

[MissyMooMoo]

Oh I hope I am the same scomar but if I am not I will suffer the side-effects....it's worth it!

 

[MarsMaiden]

Missymoomoo - I'm not on clomid so not sure of the side effects for that but I hear its not pleasant for a lot of people. I have to take norethiseterone to delay my AF so that I fit in with my clinic's schedule for IUI. It makes me feel entirely rotten, I could properly spork someone today!!

Mrssunshine - how are things going hon? I hope that the witch has taken a 9month holiday from your house!

 

[mrssunshine78]

I'm ok mars - just sick of the waiting tbh, not really sure when af is due cos ov was delayed because of clomid, think it'll be the wknd or monday, not feeling very hopeful

 

[scomar]

How bad should i feel...........
just went for a work lunch and had 3 glasses of wine and now feel tipsy !! eeeeeeek
i know i shouldnt have but so convinced i wont get my BFP i thought sod it.
but now i feel a weee bit guilty !
have you guys done that before ?!?!?
xxxx

 

[MissyMooMoo]

I must admit I have had 2 days where I had 2 glasses of wine this cycle lol

 

[mrssunshine78]

yeah i def do that!!! all the time - well not every night, but we've been trying for 3 yrs so if i hadn't drank in all of that time i may have gone slightly mad!! way i see it there's loads of people who drink cos they're not trying and they fall preg!

 

[MissyMooMoo]

Yeah I agree with you Mrssunshine. A lot of people fall pregnant whilst they are dunk! haha

 

[scomar]

phew -
my sister has 2 bambinos and she said to me "dont stree the small stuff" a few glasses is okay - just no crazy stuff like shots of sambuca !
we have been trying so long that if i didnt drink i wouldn't have had wine for 2 years !!
yeah - i cant give up my vino.
plus i had it with food etc. wasnt on an empty stomach.
xx

Scomar - I often beat myself up about things like this - coffee is my addiction! But seriously, if a little bit of caffeine, alcohol, sweeteners etc could really make that much difference then the world would be a very empty place cos noone would ever get preggers!! I think taking some time to chill out and relax can only be good for you right now *hugs*

 

[scomar]

so true

Hey girls! Hope everybody is hanging in there.

MissyMooMoo - Clomid didn't really affect me, either. I had heard some things about it before I started taking it, so I was bracing myself for the emotional rollercoaster it was supposed to send me on. But, I didn't really feel any different. So, who knows!

Scomar - I'll admit I'll have a few drinks every now and then! Nothing serious, and I figure it's okay depending on where I'm at in my cycle. And, hey, if it relaxes you enough, that will reduce stress and help you get preggo! Haha.

So, I had my first appt today with my FS and it went really well! I was super nervous, but he really put me at ease, I like him a lot. He wants to start with doing a SA on hubby, a glucose test on me to figure out how bad my PCOS is (I've never been formally diagnosed, just assumed) and an HSG. He also wants to put me on Metformin after my glucose test. Then he wants to do one more round of Clomid 150mg with possibly an IUI and monitor me from there. So, now I wait for the to show up so we can get started! Very excited to finally be moving forward and getting my questions answered. Thanks for listening (reading) ladies, I'll be sure to update!

 

[MissyMooMoo]

amb - wow I bet you came out feeling so releaved. And it sounds like you have a great FS there. I have an appointment with mine on 14th October and this should be CD1 on the cycle then (I have already calculated). I don't have a clue what he is going to do. I hope in a way that he will give me clomid because I have heard some really good success stories about it. x

 

[Amb434]

Missy - It was a very good experience, I hope everything goes well with your visit, too! Most likely, you will start off with Clomid. It seems it's the drug of choice for most doctors. I've heard many success stories because of it, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. However, my FS wants to try it one more time at the highest dosage + IUI. Maybe that will be the magic combination.

 

[Megg33k]

Hey girls! Just thought I'd say hi! I'm 5DPIUI and hoping for a positive outcome. We had 11.5mil motile sperm and 6 mature follies! I'll gladly take 2, as long as I get at least 1!

So, I can't read through 112 pages tonight... Am I silly for getting my hopes up?
