Hi, yes he's doing better, thank God cause I was so worried.On another note, after returning home from IUI I had to take hubby to ER due to stomach pains and vomiting,ughh! I'm so tired with a headache and worried about hubs
Buttercup is ur hubby OK? Shame u don't need any extra stress right now.
Today's OPK still darker than yesterday so hopefully will have a pos soon! Very excited 
Hi all - I'm back from a few days break with hubby & dd. We had a fab time - we visited legoland, chessington, alton towers & went to the blackpool illuminations. Absolutely shattered now though!! I didn't temp while I was away so have guessed my ov day was cd20 (had hcg trigger on cd18). I had pinching cramps on my right up until then, followed by creamy cm. my temps seem to have shifted now I'm back home so I'm hoping we got the timing right. I'm cd24 today - so we'll see. Not feeling hugely hopeful this month - but I think it's partly because I hate blue lines on ff instead of red ones
Laullypop - I'm so sorry you're not responding well to the clomid. I hope the drilling works for you - I know two ladies who got bfp's immediately after drilling. I so hope that you join that club. I understand how frustrating the wait will be though.
Buttercup - hope your hubby is ok & iui all went to plan.
Fern - yay for opk getting darker - hope you get a positive in the next few days!
Nimbec - hope you had a fab holiday!! &for a follie off clomid! Keep us updated with your ivf appointments (if you need them!) - December really does seem so close!!
Mommasboys - I've peeked at your chart too. It's looking really good!!! I have everything crossed for you to get our first clomid club bfp
Thanks for sharing what you and dh are discussing its such a hard decision isn't it! I know 100% for sure if i didn't have Harrison i'd do IVF and spend the money but i'm not 100% sure its the right thing to risk the 'balance' now ugh like u say if only we had answers then that would be fine 
as for hobbies - I've tried loads to take my mind off ttc! I did crochet for about a year & made a beautiful rainbow picnic blanket. I kind of overdid it & got bored - it was great for relieving nervous tension though. The one that has really stuck for me is baking. I love it! Anything from bread to fruit scones to fully iced & decorated birthday cakes! I try to give lots away so I don't eat it all I've tried running & yoga sporadically but never manage to keep exercising - I find it so hard to maintain. What are you thinking of trying? I have no advice but I do understand the torment
Fern - when you say "fruit muffin" are you after a fruit scone (cut it in half and add butter & jam) or a little fruit cake that you eat alone? Lol - I take recipe requests seriously!!! Well done on the exercise - it really is essential in pcos I just find it so hard to stay motivated.
As for your chart/opks - can you post a link so we can take a look? If you're not convinced your temps are accurate I would keep bd-ing & doing opks. It's possible you missed your surge & caught it on the way up or down - some women do have shorter surges than others. BUT your opk "should" have been positive 24 hours before your temp rise - so Monday or Tuesday. If you feel they're getting darker since then it's likely that ff is wrong. Until you've temped a few months it's difficult to say what's normal for you hun. Hth
Just the idea is making me crave them insanely; started fitting bikini's this morning for next weekend's break though and feel so fat! So am going to paleo eat for a week (I can hear DH laughing) and bake scones (and muffins ) to take on the weekend away 
so feel a bit shy about it! But maybe will try to post just a link? Don't know how though! Will also do another OPK today and see. At the moment it "feels" like I ovulated last night but that is just a feeling!!! 
except if it is a flattish white scone made with white flour. If it is more round and has the muffin-top (literally haha) we call it a muffin no matter what type of flour it's made of!
. SO am thinking the higher temps are just due to UTI or maybe the fact that I had barely any sleep last night. I tested at 04H30 and it was lower than at 05H30, but entered the latter data since I just always do. Don't always know when to temp in any case since my insomnia is so hectic; so have decided to just test every morning at the same time and try to lie still if I am awake before then. Am awake every hour during the night in any case
. One step in the right direction!
and the uncertainty is driving me mad, lol! I'm with you on the bd'ing, we try to be spontaneous but it's so hard because we're trying to achieve a goal so timing is important
averiejeanne. Good luck with your clomid cycle. You're very welcome here! whoop whoop!!!!!! So happy for your positive opk!!!!! I have ovulated rubbish eggs before (only known by rubbish temps one month compared to my norm BUT you have been waiting to ov so I'm sure it will be a good one for you !) So I just had my first ever positive poas event!!! Positive OPK. Clearly darker than control line. Am ecstatic
Never realized how much I wake up during the night before I started checking the clock every time I wake up. Now with the temping I check the time every time I wake up and it's literally 30 min to an hour's sleep that I get in at a time, with long waking spells in between. Crazy.
Thanks for letting me vent re temping and being so excited about the OPK! Being 99% sure that I am ovulating this month is just putting me on
Question: does one ovulate even when follicles are small/low quality eggs? Or only when follicles/eggs are large enough?
Please don't quote me but I believe one does ovulate even if the follicles are small or low quality. Keeping my FX'd for you
Fern - yay
Mommasboys - your temps are still high & it's progesterone that keeps it there. Test again... You never know..... Ff shows later bfp's after bfn's than yours would be if you search the charts there. Good luck!!!!
