Hey Ladies, Im just dropping in to say hi!!!
Im feeling alot better today, just a few cramps but nothing i cant deal with...im still having my full 2 weeks off from work tho lol cheeky i know...

How is everyone today? xx

 

[DragonMummy]

Have you spoken to gp, Em? Mine doubled my dose once they confirmed no ov. They thought it was pretty standard too.

Welcome ttc babby no2 - I'm also ttc#2 with a DS so we have something in common!

Smile - great progesterone - fingers are crossed for a bfp xxx

Britt - oooh scoffing loads could be a sign! With the sore nips too.....

I get my digi opk's from amazon - theyre £16 which is better than the £22 you have to cough out in the big shops!

Thanks so much, Emma . It was taken on the day on my traditional African wedding (yeah, I had 2....a traditional one and one in Church ). It's Democracy Day over here...on the 29th of May. But since it falls on a Saturday, we get Monday as a holiday . The weather is really hot though.....I could do with a little bit of coolness right about now...lol! As for increasing your dose, I totally understand why you would want to do that!! It can be so frustrating not knowing....but have a word with your FS first, hun.

The good news is that I found Preseed this morning . So I am ready for business this cycle

 

[DragonMummy]

Wow Em's right - that IS a beautiful avvy pic Isi! I wish I had some more natural pics from my wedding, mine were all very posed. Although I sacked my photographer at the last minute due to hearing some hideous reviews so I had to make to with the forensic photographer from work. Apparently photographing people that can move is a treat for him!

No I haven't had any follicle tracking Isi. I guess it is too expensive for the nhs The only way for me to find out if I've ovulated is from the progesterone tests. I shall make it my mission to get my results tomorrow even if I have to drive the 20 miles to the hospital and track her down in person

wishful think, I'm sorry I have no answers to your question either. I am a bit of a clomid novice. Could you have missed your lh surge? Did you use opk's once or twice each day? Do you chart your temps?

i got follicle tracking on my 2nd cycle and all it showed was there where no what they call viable eggs so i new even if i did ov which i didn t there was no good ones in there anyway. sort of put me on a downer from day 11 till i got af. my fs has put me up to 150mg of chlomid but she said they only like to do that for 1 cycle so if it doesnt work am not sure what happens after that

 

[winston83]

have decided to try some opks this month have had a look at the chart and i have a 35 day cycle so should start testing on day 18 which will be tuesday iv got my 21 day bloods on the 4th but i just wondered if you have a longer than 28 day cycle should your bloods be done later than day 21 ??? must remeber to check this am seeing my fs on the 8th so if it hasnt worked this month i am hoping there is somthing else we can try hope you are all well sending everyone love and luck for a bfp xxxxx

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Thanks so much, DragonMum! LOL being a treat to photograph moving people . If my DH had had his way, we would have had a foddy doddy photographer, but I had to put my foot down to get this guy (I'd seen his work and loved it). But I did have other wedding vendors who made me want to pull my hair out, so thank God this one worked at least...lol!!

I'd love to see your pictures, if it's okay ....and also your famous pictures, Emma . I'll PM you both now.

 

[mrphyemma]

No fancy pics on my facebook Isi just rubbish snaps of the kids taken by me but have requested your friendship. My wedding pics aren't on there either as it is 10 years since we got married and the digital camera had hardly been invented

Lindsay only you could have a forensics photographer for your wedding pics

Winston...I would go for your Cd21 blood tests at 7dpo, and personally I would start using the opk's sooner honey as your cycle might be different on clomid

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Awww, so modest Emma . Your pictures are lovely...and your family is simply gorgeous!!! And Lindsay's forensic photographer did a mighty fine job indeed!! Absolutely divine wedding pictures!!

Gosh, it's so lovely to remind ourselves that there is life outside of ttc!!! Looking at these pictures and seeing you with your families reminds me of the 99.9% times my DH and I are just happy and enjoying other. We will definitely get the s we desire!!! I just have to remember not to allow this ttc thing consume me and make me forget to enjoy the moment!!!

So lovely to make your acquaintance, ladies!!!

 

[winston83]

its just all so confusing lol u want to make sure you do the right thing at the right time my last 2 rounds of chlomid didnt alter my cycle length though but you never now am at fs on 8th so will see what she says xx

 

[DragonMummy]

Lindsay only you could have a forensics photographer for your wedding pics

I know - my family were taking the piss out of me all day, saying we should lay down in the car park and have chalk outlines done. And saying "oh well if it all kicks off horribly here, at least we'll have the evidence preserved". Ha bloody ha!

 

[mrphyemma]

Isi your wedding pics are simply stunning and I'm having trouble choosing which I prefer but I think it has to be the traditional one

Hopefully we will be admiring pictures of your babies very soon x

 

[Britt11]

Hello ladies!!

TTC bubby2- G.L. to you hon hope you get it first round again

Emma- I agree with Dragonmummy going to 100mg is pretty standard. I ovulate on my own and my GP wrote on my px "if not pregnant after first cycle than double dose to 100mg" I ended up only taking 50mg again by choice because my CD21 #'s were so high, but I have a feeling if i'm not preg this cycle I will be up to 100mg anyway. I dont think it will hurt anything and then you arent waiting an entire other cycle- but of course up to you!!

DM- thanks so much for the kind words....although this morning nips arent really sore anymore aggh, I have no signs at all that the IUI worked, 7dpo but still early I guess. 2ww is so hard
Where are you in your cycle hon? are you in the 2ww as well?

ISI- g.l. with the preseed

Winston83- hope the 150mg works for you, i know some women have had success with a drug that starts with an F as well (cant remember the name) perhaps they will try that as well

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Aww, thanks Emma . And I am sooooooo looking forward to those baby pictures!!!!! I hope we all get Valentine babies!!!

Thanks Britt! Even though the sight of those syringes is giving me shivers....lol! Good luck with the rest of your 2ww. I hope it ends in a nice

 

[DragonMummy]

@Britt - No, I am at the end of cycle #2 with no ovulation. Just waiting to take my provera for cycle #3 with 100mg. I have a good feeling about cycle #3. In fact since starting clomid I have had a good feeling about cycle #3!

I was going to have to wait til next week to take the provera as DH was away but he's just told me he course has been canx so I can go and get it now

And I didn't get my bfp til 14dpo so there's still hope. Loads and loads of hope. x

[Smile4me]

Go... Go..... Draggonmummy!!!!!!

Buttercup don't be nervous hunny, I used them this cycle for the first time and well no biggy... I kinda inserted them a little high as well... didn't want a big glob of goo ..hehe

Oh ladies we are getting close!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend!!

 

[DragonMummy]

I could be wrong Win but I think it's Jessa you need to speak to about femara - I think that's what she was on and now she's got THREE cookin'!

 

[DragonMummy]

@smile - shall we all see if we can clear the CC thread completely in the next 6 weeks? Nothing but tumbleweed....
