clomid club

LouLou, I'm 8DPO too...when are you testing? I had alternating pains at 6DPO and 7DPO...did you have them on your first cycle too?

VickyLou, sorry about you mom...I have a very fragile relationship with my mother, but I tell her nothing about what's going on in my personal life. I haven't told anyone in my family we're TTC and I don' know that she'd be too thrilled at the thought of having a mixed grandchild, but oh well...she'll deal.

 

[babyloulou]

I'm fine thanks Rhian- I'm finding this cycle a lot easier than last so far. I haven't got any hope this cycle- it feels more like I'm having a break cycle, even though I'm not if that makes sense!?! I just feel like it won't happen this month.

Are you a stay at home mum or do you work Rhian? I am finding work quite difficult since I started the clomid- I am a secondary school teacher and I have always been patient and loved my job. But the last two months I am finding it really difficult- it's like emotions are swirling around my head all the time

 

[Rudeollie]

Right Im ranting i know. Just read that WAG to be Danielle Lloyd is pregnant! Oh and she's claiming its a miracle too cos she has pcos. Oh Im just fed up with them all now. And DH can p*ss off too if he says karma to me one more time. Balls to it all! x

 

[rhiansweet84]

I'm unemployed at the moment and not working is driving me crazy. We're not using anything this cycle just bd as usual. But we're not thinking about getting pregnant. I think we've both just come to terms with the fact we need the injections or something more so we've given up trying this cycle, just enjoying each other.
I'm dreading this hospital appointment....

Being a secondary school teacher must be hard enough without the added stress of TTC. You'll get your BFP soon, I'm sure you will

The first two months of clomid were hell for me. I felt awful ALL THE TIME, but this month, nothing. Strange isn't it? x

 

[NurseKel]

Loulou, bless you woman for being able to teach school. I tell you I have a new found respect for teachers when my DD started Kindergarten. I would never have the patience for that...Clomid or not. LOL I hope it is not bad news for Kissy. I thought things were really looking good for her this month.
Rhiansweet, I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. I know it seems like everyone around you is preggers when you are trying and can't get there. Big hugs sweetie.

LouLou, I'm 8DPO too...when are you testing? I had alternating pains at 6DPO and 7DPO...did you have them on your first cycle too?

Yes I did have them on the first cycle- I got them 7 and 8dpo last cycle. I also had pink spotting on 8dpo with a nice "implantation type" temp dip too!!! Didn't lead to anything though- except AF! So I am determined not to read anything into the pains this month at all!!

I am going to try not to test too. I have a little plan I have been using since I found out OPKs can be used as HPTs. They apparently show up the same time as an early HPT so I have just been carrying on testing with one every afternoon like my normal routine. Then if anything shows up on them I'll know to test- otherwise it just feels normal to do the OPKs as I've been doing them for about 4 bloody years!! I had a progesterone test at 2 or 3 dpo and it was 35 which was good for that early. And I've had another one today- so will wait for those results or AF!

Rhian- yes it is so random isn't it!! Surely you must have more hope though with you having already had a child! You know you work in some small way!

 

[babyloulou]

p.s:- Tyson I've just looked at your chart too- you had a lovely dip at 4dpo which could be a good sign and then just temps have shot up since!!

 

[TySonNMe]

Thanks for taking a look LouLou...I didn't think implantation could happen that early? I used an OPK the other day and got a bit of line but nothing major. I took an 10miu test last night and nothing! I thought I saw the faintest of faint lines a but I think my eyes were playing tricks on me. I bought some FRERs but will hold off until Friday morning. It's all so confusing on Clomid.

 

[Rudeollie]

Good luck tyson & loulou x Im way too emotional to stay up so will bid goodnight x

 

[babyloulou]

Yeah I know it is! It's crazy! I think implantation is supposed to be around 5dpo??? I think... don't quote me though!

With using OPKs as far as I know they have to show an OPK positive (ie: line has to be darker than control line) even when being used as an HPT.

When you say a "faint line" on a 10mui- do you mean an HPT??

 

[babyloulou]

Good luck tyson & loulou x Im way too emotional to stay up so will bid goodnight x

Good night RudeOllie- we're here if you want a chat

 

[TySonNMe]

yeah it was an HPT...but I really think my eyes were tricking me.

 

[babyloulou]

It's enough to drive us all wappy!!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Wow what a busy thread tooday!! Well this is my first month of no clomid and I am already worried whether I will Ov or not. Why oh why can't I relax about all this?? I rescheduled my HSG for march 9th and took the 10 and 11th off as well just in case I have cramps real bad.

Welcome to all the newbies!! Good luck in you journey.

I have also been worried about Kissy as well..I have checked her page but nothing. I really thought her test looked promising.

Lou I am holding out for a BFP for you as well. And for all the other girls still waitn. God bless you all

i am also full of https://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_2_26.gif lol the last few mornings i am waking up bunged up and there is blood in there too and no matter how much i blow my nose it doesn't help! i hate it, drives me nuts.
apart from that not much else is happening for me, 7dpo for me, slight dip tempwise today but as we all know that means nothing but it hasn't stopped matt making comments lol, got a bit of back ache and achy feeling in my tum so i reckon my IBS is probably gonna kick off....OH JOY!!!! i would rather be running to the loo puking with morning sickness than with IBS lol.

Morning Hedge. Sorry your feeling so rubbish at the mo. I had the bunged bloody nose thing last week, it was nasty! Oh how I wish you were running to the loo wish morning sickness! Im just about to put myself out of half my misery and call and see if my bloods are back from last week. They probably are and they wont tell me until its EXACTLY a week since I had it done but its worth a shot. Im very sad at the mo. Just started last night. Trying very hard to smile. Pants! Everything is pants today

 

[babyloulou]

Sorry you are feeling so rubbish Rudeollie and Hedge! Hope you start to feel better soon! Keep your chins up girls xxx

I really hope Af doesn't show up for you Sam! That would be brill!

Reedsgirl- hopefully the clomid will have kick started your system and it will just carry on as it has been doing xxx

Nothing to report here still- except the same pains in my ovaries this morning (although they are fine now) - and my temp has edged back up again this morning after dropping slightly the last couple of days (can click on my ticker if anyone is interested) xxx
