[happybaby]

Oh helen1234 you just reminded me hw ridiculous everything is...God! to have to poke yourself all morning...I know what you mean...too stressful. I onlydo the temping and opk but even so it feels a lot. Anyways...at least I hope it's going to be worth it. I am currently cd27 (3 more days to go). /have some symptoms but might be beacause of the clomid I took days 2-6. Some cramps but no AF yet. I should test on the 8th, on DH's birthday. IT would be a nice present for him, but I don't want to get my hopes up, just to avoid dissappointment.
Good luck to all of you!

ooooo good luck i'll be looking out for your announcement lotsa positive thinking...

the month i got caught with Rhys i thought bahhhh clomids crap and we did the deed handful of times, my daughter was being a pain in the backside, my oh's cousin dropped dead of a undiagnosed genetic heart condition he was 33, leaving 3 gorgeous little boys who since found out have the same condition. i ditched the ovulation sticks and ditched the pillow under my bum, i even lay on my side comfy, as i hate lying on my back. when i fond out i was preg i did 8 tests because i just couldnt believe it and begged my doc for a scan.

this is why we;re trying straight away trying to rip the stress plaster off quick, i was hoping pregnancy would help my fertility but blood tests proved otherwise, so hence ttc.

i sometimes feel guilty about going in for another though like i've had my miracle babies and i'm being greedy and i should be happy because i have 2 beautiful children, but i want rhys to have a play friend sibling. and then i think if i dont think about ttc 24/7 and plan rudey time then i'll miss the window of opportunity and that'll be another month gone past.

so much stress to think about it helps that the oh knows how important it is for us to get along and not argue lol spoiling the moments lol

hi ladies,
i just took my first dose of clomid (50mg) last night- i'd love to join this group.
this is my first month on clomid- I'll be getting IUI with it (my clinic suggests going straight to IUI, maybe because I'm in my late 30's, or maybe that's the protocol, I'm not sure).
I've been ttc for 10 months- i'm excited for clomid, but also of course nervous that it won't work. So far, no side effects, but we'll see how the week goes.
a question i'm wondering about. someone asked if it was ok to take evening primrose oil while on clomid- I'm wondering the same thing. I've been taking a combination of vitamins and herbs, and i'm not sure which if any i need to stop taking. I know vitex is not good while taking clomid, but what about things like vitamin b, omega-3's, raspberry leaf, and evening primrose oil (I know, i'm like a walking health food store these days).

to Reallyready- i'm in nyc as well, and i've heard that RMA is a really good clinic and i think they take insurance. I'm not going there right now, but I may switch if I need to go further than clomid.

I just thought that I would let everyone know that the 1st round of Clomid did the trick and we are now expecting our first baby!! I had been waiting for AF to come and thought I would do a test on the day is was expecting AF only to see two lines - I tested another 5 times - then rushed straight to the docs for a blood test - Its a BIG positive YES!!!! I am now 5 weeks and counting - so happy thought that this PCOS was going to be the end of me!!

I also believe that wheatgrass was a big help in this as well - very good for fertility and I had been using it this month with the clomid!! Please dont lose hope - there are so many solutions out there - you just have to find the one that works for you!!

I will keep you up to date to see if its more than one - the doc said that I ovulated through my right ovary that was producing 3 eggs the same size - hmmmm I have a 6 week scan on monday - hope they can tell then!! xxx

Hi girls, I'm back from my trip. It was great and I really enjoyed the break. Unfortunately, I had a chemical (see my journal for more details) so I am onto my fourth cycle with Clomid/Prometrium . I was able to convince my Dr. to do a follicle scan on CD13, so hopefully I'll have some good ones this cycle. My OB/GYN also referred me to a fertility specialist to discuss the next step after Clomid. I am trying to stay positive. I know my cycle is coming. xx

 

[helen1234]

awww i'm sorry bizy, anythng i would say would make it worse, so lets get positive about your next cylcle you'll soon be getting your i have a hunch on that one.

i still havent ovulated is it possible i wont? that means i'll have to go back onto progesterone to bring af on as i just dont without it.

my friend upset me yesterday said she was pregnant and said bet you dead jealous arent you...., no i am not jealous of anyone getting pregnant, envious yes jealous no. really hurt me that did, she then followed on to say oh well if you dont get pregnant again least you had rhys and rosie.... that made me feel as though we shouldnt have another baby and we were being greedy or wrong in some way, i snapped at that point told her its ok she can get pregnant drop of a hat and we want a family of 3 and why shouldnt we doesnt mean dont appreciate our children any less. what a stupid thing to say

 

[hopeful4baby]

Hello, Girls!
there are so many new names. Welcome to you all!
Congratulations to Waterbaby!!! Keep us updated..
I'm sorry about all the AFs which turned up in my absence, especially to yours, BizzyBee! But you are so wonderfully positive and I also believe your cycle is coming!!

As for me, I've had a wonderfull sunny two weeks holiday. I've done two 50mg Clomid cycles before and decided give it a miss on holiday! I'm expecting AF tomorrow, unfortunately I know it's coming and all the famous "just relax, have a holiday" didn't work, I'm sure of it. I'm having all my usual pre-AF symptoms. So, just waiting to roll on to the last cycle of 50mg! If only this was the last one too!

Hi Brooklyn. I have been taking evening primrose oil while on clomid. I do not know if it has made any difference though. For me, I don't really get any CM when I ovulate (and didn't really before the clomid either), but I do get CM around CD20 - CD26. I do not know what is causing this. I am also taking herbs. I know what you mean about being a walking health food store. Good luck on your first cycle of clomid, hope you get your BFP soon.

[MillieMoo]

Hi Ladies! I can finally join you al here. I went to see the FS on Tuesday and he has started me on Clomid! Yippee!! I'm being really optimistic at the moment thinking that theres no reason why it couldn't happen the first month (espicially after reading water baby's story - Congratulations by the way).
I'm really intrigued to see how many days this will reduce my cycle because lasts months cycle was 50 days.
How did it affect your cycles?

Good luck all! x

That is such a stupid thing for her to say. How insensitive!

What CD are you on now? Some people O late on Clomid. I hope that's the case for you.
