Hi girls,

Sorry to hijack your thread but I'm new to this site and wonder if someone can help out with what all the abbreviations such as OPK mean?

I have my first fertility appointment next Thursday & imagine they'll put me on clomid (I have PCOS and have had no periods for 9 months) so any advice, info on what to expect would be very much appreciated!

Thank you, Laura.

Hi Laura and welcome to our dysfunctional little family Heres a few abbreviations (sorry if you know them already!) DPO - days past ovulation. Ov - Ovulation - OPK - Ovulation prediction kit. HPT - Home pregnancy kit. CD - Cycle Day. Hmmm let me know anymore you need to know I cant think tonight! (if you read my messages you'll see why hahaha) XXX

Hi Laura welcome im sure you will settle right in there such a lovely bunch here hehe.
I think rudesollie has covered most of the ones that get used in here. But there is and abbreviations thread at the top of the forum.

Good luck with your fertility appointment.
How long have you had pcos?
Do you keep track of your periods (when you have them) temp?
What pcos symptoms do you have?

Hello ladies! Let me just start out by saying that I love you people and it makes me feel so much better knowing I'm not alone! I'm TTC 8 months, with a chemical pregnancy in November. After the chemical pregnancy, my period never started so it was induced with provera and I took 50 mg clomid on days 5 - 9. I'm on currently on CD 23, and I *think* I ovulated around day 15, which would put me at 9 dpo. I hope I can become part of your cyber family, it is so sweet how much you all support each other! Good luck and baby dust to all!

 

[VickyLou]

Hi emilouis Welcome

Sorry about the chemical. Hope this is your month and good luck with the clomid

Congrats Megs x

Reedsgirl, I have an appointment on 18th March ready for the injections
Didn't think it'd ever come to this. I have had no side effects frtom the clomid what-so-ever this month so not sure what's happening!
I'm on CD 20 now but my cycles have been a little over the shop since the clomid. 28 day cycles became 30 so not sure what to expect this month.

How is everyone anyway? x

Let me know how it goes. I am not real sure what to expect. I like you never thought it would get to that point. The clomid works for me but for some reason the little bean doesn't stick. I guess maybe I will know more after the HSG...maybe.

 

[babyloulou]

Hi everyone. It's been quiet in here today- only took me 5 mins to catch up with the posts! I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend xxx

 

[NurseKel]

Hey girls! Hope all is well for everyone.
Rhiansweet, hope you have a good appt on the 18th and get some info that will help.
Reedsgirl, I don't know anything about HSG, but if it gives you answers then I say go for it and hopefully it won't be too painful. We can't have beanies that don't stick. We need really super glue sticky beanies. Big hugs!
Loulou, how are you doing?
Still no news from Kissy huh? I was hoping she was off celebrating, but I'm getting really worried now.
I am on call for work this week which means working 12 days without a day off. To make matters worse, I have caught my DD's stomach bug she had on Friday and now I'm throwing up and have diarrhea....ugh! I feel horrible but luckily she feels better today so I am praying it's a 24 hr bug.

 

[reedsgirl1138]

OH NurseKel so sorry your sick!! I hope you get to feeling better soon. I too am worried about Kissy...I keep checking here page and nothing...

I am excited about the test actually and hope it will give me the results I need or a step closer to finding out something...and since I see a specialist in April that is one less thing I will have to worry about then!

 

[NurseKel]

Well, that sounds really promising to be seeing a specialist soon. I know we never like to find out something is wrong with us but at least it gets us closer to fixing whatever problem there may be.

 

[babyloulou]

Hi reedsgirl and Kel- just popping in on my way to bed! I am fine- nothing really to report with me- getting the odd symptom but all things that Clomid causes!!

How's the bump Kel?

Reedsgirl- the HSG is fine- just cramps a bit like period pain! Hope it sorts everything out! It might just "flush" you out! Pregnancy rates are higher the few cycles after an HSG! xx

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Hey Lou you having a good weekend?? Where are you in your cycle? THe clomid seem to be working this month?

 

[babyloulou]

I am 12dpo. the clomid has definitely worked again (as in made me ovulate)- just waiting for AF now so I can start it all again!!

How are you?? xx

 

[3yearsttc]

I started taking Clomid yesterday... getting ready for an IUI

Good luck!

 

[rhiansweet84]

I had HSG last August. Not the most pleasant experience I must say but my left fallopean tube was unblocked. I'm sure everything will go ok. I'm actually looking forward to the next step now in the hopes of getting pregnant.

Babyloulou: PMA GIRL! You're not out yet! Think positive

xx

 

[babyloulou]

I don't seem to feel any PMA this month! - just waiting for AF to start again so i can get good and pregnant next month! X

 

[hedgewitch]

morning ladies, how are we all today?
well for me i am 10dpo and have every symptom of AF coming!!
i got the backache, the sore boobies and the cramps, so i am expecting her soon, tested this morning and BFN but temp shot up, again though this is usually an idicator AF on its way, with me having the Graves disease, my temp goes up when AF due lol so the HSG didn't make any difference to me this month at all, so i am now in a bad mood lol
