clomid club

[babyloulou]

Em- that is the evil Clomid!!! I was completely out of control every cycle on it! I'm surprised my OH hasn't had a nervous breakdown! Xxx

 

[mrphyemma]

Glad to hear I am not alone. I shall try to bite my tongue today x

It seems to be all doom and gloom on my side of town.....

I'll start off with the only good piece of news. DH doesn't have to travel anymore.

But that said, he is continuing with his attitude of not wanting to BD when it all seems planned. He always seems to know even when I don't say it to him directly, and he says he hates the lack of spontaneity that comes with purposely BD'ing during o, so last night, he totally refused to play ball. Same thing this morning. So I'm here, depressed and so very angry!!!! The way I feel now, BD'ing today will be totally out of the question because I have absolutely just given up! My DH is so not bothered about the fact that we are 18 months without a bump in sight. He thinks I'm just getting dramatic and believes we should just keep on living our lives as normal, without having to time any BD. I, on the other hand, don't think we have the luxury to do that! He's not the one who has to deal with the questions, the pity. I have absolutely given up and will be taking a looong break from ttc.

As if that was not enough, I started spotting this morning! I have never spotted around ovulation and really do not have the foggiest what is wrong with my body!

Lastly, I'm taking off that silly ovulation ticker of mine! Last thing I need is a reminder of the futility of this cycle.

Sorry for my rant

Btw, lovely avatar DM.

Good Morning Ladies!!

Surprisingly- i was quite pleasant taking the clomid. I noticed that things I would usually be an ass about- I kinda just walked away from it. BUT- I was so sensative to everything. I would cry spontaneously out of nowhere...it was pretty funny, really.

sorry to hear this sweetie! My husband used to be the same way. BUT- after we had our m/c his view totally changed. I will tell you though, that the last time we got pregnant- we had stopped "trying." So when we got pregnant- it was a huge He's had baby fever ever since.. I completely agree that having to plan takes the fun out of everything and in a way takes away from the intimacy. I hate planning for it as I know that our window to catch the eggy is so limited.

whatever you decide..please don't give up hope. At one point in time, I had given up...with pcos and diabetes and 10 YEARS of no protection..nothing. Ijust felt like it wasn't in the cards for us. and then, it happened when we least expected it.

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Thanks so much, Delilah. I needed to hear that. I'm still feeling extremely low and will probably just go home early today. Completely blown the wind out of my ttc sail boat .

 

[caz & bob]

hi girls hope your all fine aw butter hun sorry that your havein a bad time xxxx

 

[Britt11]

Hello girls,
wow its quiet on the threads this morning, normally I log on to a fleury of activity.

Isi- I really feel for you and you know I would feel the exact same way. DH doesnt like the "planned" bd either and he tells me that frequently but at the same time he doesnt deny it....I really think men have no clue what its like for us, they dont have the same instinct I'm sure... I really hope he comes around and you get lots of BD'ng in soon. As for the spotting at O, thats a good thing, just meanst it caused a bit of blood when the egg was released...frustrating to hear though considering you guys havent BD yet....


Deli- I was emotional too, cried at one thing Dh said and he was like oh no what did I do....lol

Caz- how are you doing today honey?

As for me temp quite high this morning but doesnt matter got a BFN this morning like I figured....so definitely looking out as I thought earlier with no symptoms....I am either 11 or 12dpo today....sigh, oh well onto next month

 

[ttcbaby117]

oh emma - sorry for the fight...but I completely understand...I have been nipping at my dh head almost everyday and i have to apologize and say sorry clomid is making me crazy. Luckily he is understanding.

britt - might be to early hun....I hope you get your bfp.

isi - ugh, OH's just dont understand...here we are doing everything in our power to get pg and all they have to do is have sex with us and they wont. My dh like all the others hates to have to do it when I ask. But I explained to him that i cant be on this clomid forever and wait for him to be ready to do it. So sorry hun, I wish there was somethign I can say to make you feel better....

 

[caz & bob]

britt still the same hunnie symptoms testing friday xxxx

 

[ttcbaby117]

oh caz i cant wait till you test....you are having the same symptoms as last month which is awesome!

 

[caz & bob]

my temps went down a bit this morning so we will see but i haven't been doing them the same time because the kids are off school so it hard xxxx

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Thanks Britt and ttc

Yeah, I did some research and found out it's a good sign of o....some good huh...lol!!! Just trying to laugh it off, lest I go crazy. Ideally, I'm supposed to o this evening (trigger is supposed to bring o on after 36 hours) ....so by spotting this am, I dunno if it happened earlier...or if its gearing up to happen..... It just seems to me that, even if we do BD tonight (doubtful), it might be late.

Bummer huh

Still keeping fx for you and that BFP, Britt.

Sorry about the clomid induced fight, Emma. Hope you're all good today.

 

[Smile4me]

Thanks so much, Delilah. I needed to hear that. I'm still feeling extremely low and will probably just go home early today. Completely blown the wind out of my ttc sail boat .

Aww butter sweetie, we can all relate... I just mixed it up every night, I would explain to him how much it means to you and that if the doctors didn't think you needed the meds, then they would not prescribe it and yes for a month or two it has to be this way but not forever. :0
It is not natural to plan but if he wants a baby then he's going to have to do what it takes. Just plan a romantic evening .. candles... wine...oh and some preseed the whole bit, let him know this means so much to you!
I'm thinking about you sweetheart!

well I did another test since the last one was faint and this time it is def +
so see Butter let dh know that all the men have to go through this one to two or maybe three months

 

[ttcbaby117]

aww smile that is great news! congrats hun....how are you feeling otherwise? Is your heart doing ok?

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Thanks Smile4me . And I'm soooooo happy to hear you got another positive . Congrats hun!

Well....I'm kinda deflated now....maybe I'll get the ttc zeal again later, but for now...I'm just spent! I will have that talk with him later....when I feel better about it again.

Congrats again sweetie!

Sorry about the clomid induced fight, Emma. Hope you're all good today.

Isi- if you can BD tonight I think it would be good...as the egg sticks around usually for 12 hours sometimes up to 24hours....good luck hon, at least you know your O'ng

Yeah Smile to the big bfp today!!
whoop whoop
your stay was short and sweet, so lets keep up the momentum with more BFPs this month!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

isi, good idea to wait to talk to him, when we are overly emotional they shut down I find.

I'm not going anywhere, you all are stuck with me I want to see ALLLLL of you with your BFPs!!!!!

 

[Onelildream]

Buttercup-I totally know how you feel! Try to make it a romantic evening and think of what he wants. Wear something nice, play around and be sensual...I'm sure he'll come around! And you could still catch that egg!
