lisa- definately cycle buddy!! sorry to hear about the fight...honestly they seriously have no clue about womens cycles or whats going on in our bodies. mine oh is pretty much clueless and often doesnt understand why we have to have scheduled bd or why i feel crappy-even when i try and explain. glad to hear you were both able to let it go....

so i have gotten smileys again today on my opks....hmmm....so maybe i havent ovulated yet?

 

[lisaf]

sarlar - do you chart your BBT?

 

[Mamamirfy]

Hi All,

I just got my prescription for Clomid today. I'm on CD 5 so...can't start taking until next cycle along with our first cycle of IUI. I feel like after 2.5 years of trying we actually are on our way! I'm thrilled. Anybody know what the percentage is for concieving multiples on Clomid?

 

[lisaf]

I've heard it only adds 1-2% to what the average is for the general population concieving naturally... the higher the dose of Clomid, the higher the risk for multiples which is one reason they start you out usually at 50mg.

Hello and welcome, our FS said it increases to about a 9%-10% chance in having twins and only a 1% chance in having triplets (very rare)
good luck hon
I am doing Clomid with IUI as well- did it last cycle and BFN, so trying again this cycle with a increased Clomid does. Does your OH have sperm issues at all? Mine does and our FS said IUI will definitely help
best,

[sarlar]

tod-hope the next week flies. be strong, we are rooting for ya!

 

[lisaf]

sarlar - click on my purple bar in my siggy to stalk my chart!
As long as the smileys aren't expired yet they should be fine.
That really stinks that your shifts keep you from temping... its honestly my favorite tool for TTC.. even more than those OPKs

 

[lisaf]

hey winston! When do you get your bloodwork results? I'm still hoping you O'd CD17

 

[sarlar]

lisa- chart is looking good! ill keep an eye on it.

OK i am in SO much pain today-can barely stand up. should i be worried about overstim?? i am not getting follie checks only cd 21 bloods. i figured o'ing would hurt but holy crap! yesterday and today have been awful. any thoughts?

 

[DragonMummy]

Hmm, I had bad pain my first month on clomid - I felt like I was getting knifed!


Am very pre-mental today. Tired, crampy, irritable.... still no actual AF but hopefully she won't be long....

 

[sarlar]

dragon mummy- when did you take your last provera?

 

[MrsChambers]

Well here I am again after taking Provera in April and not getting a full bleed - I have taken Provera again (last pill was Sunday) and am in limbo waiting just so I can start my 1st month of Clomid. If this doesn't start Clomid then i will have to wait until August as consultant told me to take Metformin for 12 weeks and if no AF after then will have to take Provera again. I had an extra lot of Provera he forgot he had prescribed so I ahve just taken that in the hope it might make AF appear. Apart from not being able to be around anyone without shouting taking things the wrong way and crying over nothin at the weekend I havent got much else going on. I am getting so frustrated now.

 

[mrphyemma]

Can we all start chanting for the witch to arrive for Dragonmummy and MrsChambers please? Maybe if its a group effort it may work!........ BRING ON THE BRING ON THE BRING ON THE BRING ON THE BRING ON THE ..........................

 

[DragonMummy]

Last provera was last tuesday. Last time I took it I came on exactly a week later so fingers crossed!

 

[keepsmiling]

come on xx

hi ladies

am back from BD lol

hoping my timing is ok... i may do another opk today, i know theres no point as thats my chance for the month now but am interested to see if it still picks up a surge.

i so want to believe im ovulating or about to but its so hard when its not happened before. i used to get positive opks even when i wasnt so as much as i want to trust that its hard.

im actually scared to carry on temping now incase i dont see a rise

may sound like im being silly but i just feel this is too good to be true after 5 yrs
