[Rudeollie]

Hahaha! Are you thinking of getting hitched or happy as you are?? Maybe an inpending marriage is what the ovaries need hahaha.....Set a date for in a years time and BAM you'll fall on and have to postpone...Or have a mega big wedding dress hehehe xxx

Hey ladies

How are we all today?

Welcome to the newbies. I hope you feel at home here lol

Right girls im confused and need some advice. As most of you seen i got my positive OPK lastnight about 7.30pm, How long does the surge usually last?
I did another OPK around midnight lastnight and i got a fainter line, thats only 4 hours after my positive is this right?
We managed to BD about 2am this morning after a massive row lol.... Not had any cramps or pains just a major horrible headache for 2 days.
Did another OPK this morning and again it was fainter than lastnights.

Is this ment to be happening or should i still be getting a positive?

Thanks girls.

 

[Rudeollie]

Thats right Vicky - The really strong line only shows once really then it starts to fade off. Mine keep fading for a few days before and after when I do ov. Good news you got hum to bed hun hahaha Even if it was after a scrap! Must have been something in the air last night hey?

 

[VickyLou]

ah thanks ollie thats good to no i was panicing thinking id missed it or done something wrong lol. No pains as yet though so does this mean i havent ovulated at the moment or maybe i wont get pain?

I think there was something in the air hun, I think i was being abit insensative. All happy and good today though.

Hows you ollie? Any side affects from the tablets yet? xx

 

[Rudeollie]

No pain could mean either to be honest hun.....Im sure you'll have done everything right so dont be fretting -That wont help the little egg stick! Hehehe

Pain on either ovary today but still one more tablet day to go...Oh and flushes man alive!x

 

[VickyLou]

well have dtd everyday since saturday (apart from sunday) so i think ill be covered ill do it again later hopefully and maybe be cheeky and ask again tomorrow lol. OH getting very stressed though and struggleing to dtd. And i have an appointment at the doctors on monday so hopefully she will give me a bloods form so i can put my mind at ease on day 21 lol. Thanks ollie your a star. I dont no what id do with ya lol.

Well fingers crossed hun that the side affects dont come on strong, and hopefully you will ovulate this month. How many cycles have you got of clomid? xx

 

[Rudeollie]

Your welcome hun, anytime xxx
Well Im on cycle 3 and have another 3 after that. Then its back to the specialist in July and if no BFP its iui or ivf for us...... Boo!

 

[VickyLou]

I might sound abit stupid lol but what is iui huni? xx

 

[Rudeollie]

Intro Uterine Insemination - Basically the new name for Artifical Insemination! They take DH boys and wash them then pick the best ones (if any!) then pop them into me via a catheter on my fertile days. Sucky sucky sucky but IF it gives me the BFP I'll do anything pretty much hahaha

And not stupid at all....I only know cos me and DH are broken hahaha

 

[VickyLou]

Ah right huni doesnt sound nice at all.... Not very natural is it. I only have 1 month of clomid left if this one doesnt work and then i have to go back to clinic to be reassessed. I dotn think ill get another 3 months to be honest. If not then i have to wait another year before they will do anything cause of my age.

Grrrrr what a nightmare this ttc is. I wish it was easier....

 

[Rudeollie]

Well I hope you get your bfp this month then!!!!!!!!!!! I hate the rules of this game when it comes to the nhs. Its just wrong, I mean what happend to the bloody stork coming round hey??????? Hahahaha xxx

 

[VickyLou]

Thanks sweety appreciate it very much. I hope you get yours too huni... lol i no i wish it would come my way lol

 

[Rudeollie]

Hmmm where be everyone tonight....Are they all out a bedding???? Hahaha Lucky things! xxx

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this thread, I have been prescribed 100mg clomid for six months. My bloods showed I had annovulatory cycles, but my hsg and scans came back clear.
I'm a bit unnerved as I've heard there can be bad side effects of clomid and was wondering what to expect... I'd also love to hear any success stories, I'm really trying to be positive for the next 6 months, fingers crosed and baby dust to all x

 

[Rudeollie]

Hi Ginny - Im on cycle 3 of 6 months clomid. Its only day 5 so not much to tell you this month. Dont worry about the side effects, some people get them some dont. I get hot flushes and terrible rage hahaha But apart from that and the odd twinges in the ovaries its nothing you wont be able to handle hun xxx
Its a fab bunch on here and we all help one another so any questions just ask hun xxx

 

[ginny]

Hi,
Thanks so much for your reply, I'm still in shock that I'm on clomid, it's been over a year TTC which has seemed a long time but now I've been prescribed something, it feels like 5 minutes... it's a weird feeling!
I'm also curious about the CBFM, I've been using it for 6 months and always had a peak each month but when I had my bloods it said my level was 15 (?), think that meant progesterone which they said, suggested I hadn't ovulated but I thought at 15 you had. So now he's put me on 100mg of clomid I'm thinking it may make me have worse side effects as I must have some amount of hormone to register a level at all.
Why is it when you've just got your head around ovulation, charting etc etc, something else comes along that you have to research!! Can anyone help?

Hi Ginny, welcome. My side effects weren't much to write home about. I've been a bit stroppy and had some hot flushes and ovary pain. In fact compared to what the Metformin put me through it was a party!

To ov it needs to be at LEAST 40...I got a HUGE(!) 3.6 and that was on clomid hahaha! You wont get worse s/e from 50mg to 100mg, even some on 150 dont have many.....The only thing it can cause is bad cm and a poor lining for implantation but its easy sorted with green tea and grapefruit juice (you do get used to them both hahaha)
Anything you need just ask hun xx
