Clomid Club Graduate Buddies

wow that sounded pretty horrific! I can't believe they only mentioned you were at risk of PND now!
I have heard that about birth plans although my friend that had a good birth managed to stick to her plan! (well I doubt she had planned the milking! lol)
I just want a doctor I can trust and that hopefully will be round. In France, my sister got a sweep at her last appt as the doctor was going on holiday and wanted to deliver her, he just said, see you back at the hospital in a few hours!
My mum had the same with me, her OB gave her a sweep although i was 3 weeks early as I was engaged and she was a bit dilated.. he told her to pick up my brothers and sister from school, take them to the neighbour and come back down to the hospital, by 4pm I was born

don't want to suggest something stupid but Oliver's mum took him to see an osteopath after the birth and after that he slept much much better, apparently the birth had messed up his skull and spine and he was not comfortable laying down.
It's a very popular thing in France too.

He had 3 Osteopath sessions V- it made no difference! I have been meaning to take him back though...

They will give you sweeps here after 41 weeks. I had 3 but none worked. I think most of us UKers did and I think it only worked for one us- Suz or Jess?? Think it was Suz... I know Ellen's didn't work either x

I had reflexology when i was 13 days overdue and went into labour 6 hours later xx

 

[Euronova]

oh well! i have plenty of time to worry about getting into labour!
Need to find an Ob first! and which hospital I am going to! My gynea has finally emailled me and I am seeing her this thursday or next to discuss it all.
She could follow me until 6 months with I would be quite happy with, she is very nice, but other Ob want to start seeing you ASAP

Yeah it's waaaaaay too early to discuss this stuff - get an ob V!

I am going for a swim with my friend tomorrow, she knows about the pregnancy so will be lovely to have a girly afternoon She is leaving her baby with her mum so we can go for a swim and tea afterwards

Hey girls, mind if I join? round 2 of clomid worked for me, I'm due around middle of July 2012. I'm so excited, nervous and really tired currently. I'm about 5 weeks gone and have my first scan 21st Nov - eep! until then I plan to test every single day

 

[babyloulou]

Speaking of leaving babies- my best friend pointed out today that she's left her baby for a total of 6 hours altogether already and he's only 3 weeks old whereas I've only left Ben for a total of 3 hours after 9 months!! (on account of him refusing bottles of course!!) - I never realise how high-maintenance and high-needs Ben is until people point it out!!!

The birth, neonatal/incubator stay, my broken tailbone, his reflux/colic when younger, his horrendous 9 months of sleep refusal, him having never took a feed from a bottle, him still BFing every 2 hours!! Is it any wonder I'm reluctant to have another

 

[babyloulou]

Welcome Tanzibar and congrats!!

 

[Euronova]

Hi tanzibar!!! A newbie like me!!!
What's your name? I'm Veronique (people call me V)
I hijacked this thread too it seems the other girls know each others for much longer but it's great as they have loads of experience!!!

 

[lisaf]

congrats Tanzibar and welcome!

I don't blame you at all Lou, lol! You deserve a medal for raising 1 Ben, taking on 2 would be looking for sainthood!

 

[Euronova]

God Louise! No wonder lol!! That sounds a bit mad but he still looks such an adorable boy on the pics... he must be worth it all

 

[babyloulou]

He's worth every second!!

Thanks girls, hi V, my name is Tan and I'm 27. Been TTC no 1 for just over 14 months and in that time I've only had 8 cycles :S

Had loads of blood tests done and at everything came back good. At the 9 month mark I went back to the docs and told them a little porky - said we'd been trying for a year and haven't even seen a 2nd line at all.

So we got referred to a Gyne' and hubby had his sperm checked out. He was good so they booked me in for a Hycosy. So when this appointment finally came round they used a transvaginal gadget thingy and found a 6cm blood blister on my left ovary - I later found out it's Endometrium which they didn't seem to bothered about but I was given a choice of either Clomid or surgery - either way it'll need to be removed one day but I was assured during pregnancy it wouldn't cause any issues so I'm not too fussed right now.

So I guess that blister was the cause for the really long 50+ cycles. It's strange really because up until the day I tested I had such strong feelings of hopelessness and despair that hubby and I wouldn't be biologically compatible, heck I've had 14 months of that feeling but seeing all 19 of my hpt's since 13dpo show a positive it feels as though those feelings have just melted away.

It's been very hard to see women come and go with their BFP's I won't lie but I'm just so glad we finally got there

 

[babyloulou]

To be fair he's a very happy, good natured baby - rarely whinges etc... Just would be nice if he'd sleep and if me and Ste could go out just for ONE evening!!

 

[babyloulou]

Glad you got there Tanzibar! It is hard seeing other BFPs- we were trying for over 5 years! We all got lucky though

Hi Tan,

You story is very similar to mine, I had really long cycle and ended up doing all the tests too. I had mildly polycystic ovaries but not bad enough to be a real concern... it seems i just wasn't ovulating or just not ovulating strong enough!
Clomid did the trick for us first cycle!
I know exactly what you mean, you are always congratulating women that got their but you feel a bit of resentment.
Actually I had a couple of good friends on the clomid club and I was so hoping they would get their same time as me and I nearly felt guilty when I posted my results
I tested loads as well, I had wanted to see that second line so many times before and was getting really desperate (i could not even get one on an opk!) it was like a little miracle I was performing every time I peed!!
When is your first scan again?

 

[SBB]

Jeez you lot have chatted so much I can't even begin to respond!!!

Congrats and welcome tan!

Welcome home Jess

And goodnight all that's all I have to say!!!

I'll chat tomorrow
