[ttcbaby117]

morning ladies! Sorry af gotcha sonya, I was thinking about you yesterday.

xkiss - sorry you are feeling down...this road is so hard...I am so sick and tired of hearing relax and it will happen.....can anyone out there tell me exactly how to relax about this???? It is by far the worst advice anyone could give!!!!

vic - go have a drink...I think it might help to take your mind off of things....a couple wont hurt...at least I dont think so...

How are all my ladies doing this morning?

hey ladies, well im back again, had a few months away from the clomid to try and get myself back on track (my side effect were hair loss raarrr ) so on second month... really struggling at moment because 6 ...yes 6 of my close friends have all told me over past 2 weeks they are pregnant...and i am really happy for them, but still a tad jealous (sigh)
well, day 19 no signs of OV or anything, so fingers crossed it works this time (on 100mg days 2-6)

Hope your all well and staying positive, big hugs and lots of baby dust to all

Maggie

xxxxx

hi maggie welcome back......I really hope this month works for you. I know how you feel about your friends....so happy they dont have to go through this and that their dreams are coming true...but a nagging thought about why it hasnt happened for you. can I ask how long you have been ttc and if you are dealing with any fertility issues?

 

[Maggie199]

Thanks hun , been trying for 16 months now, have PCOS, no other symptoms other than no ovulation, which wasn't picked up until after I came off the pill, I'm lucky enough to have private medical insurance and started off with 3 months at 50mg of clomid which didnt help me ovulate, then months at 100mg which I was Almost there (prog level 29.6).. anyway had a few months off as the hair loss was getting pretty bad (just glad ive a big thick head of hair!)
back on the clomid this month, 100mg, hubby is so supportive (hes got 2 kids from previous relationships age 4 and 7) so we know his swimmers are okay
just been a rough couple of weeks!
weve looked into adoption and egg donation but its not for us, so clomid this month and next with monitoring, then possible ovarian drilling if that doesnt work
So we will see
how about you? xx

Hi Maggie, I know what you mean. 17 women at work are up the duff right now. I had a mc last week and at work yesterday 7 of the buggers were in, stroking their bumps. Grrrr!!! Best of luck to you xx

@Sonya - love the cat theory. Does that explain the old spinsters with 9 cats? Thats the reason they are dried up and alone?

 

[babyloulou]

I have felt very negative for the last few weeks. The fs has told us we will need ivf so I sit here wondering why I am bothering with the clomid! What's the point! I can't ever imagine being pregnant

 

[caz & bob]

hi girls how are we all today i have been very tyerd over these last couple off weeks do you girls thinki ts the clomid side effects useing my preseed againe tonight whooooooooooooo olllie how are you hun sbb how are hun xx xx

 

[Britt11]

Hi, hope everyone is doing well today.
I tried to get through a lot of the updates
Sonya- sorry that AF got you, CD1/2 is truly the most awful time of the month, i feel for you hon...

Babylou- I also can very much appreciate your frustration, so many of my friends even older than me have gotten pregs within a couple of months- i could have had a baby by now....Can I ask why your doc thinks IVF is the only way you will get pregs? I'm not that far from that either though, one month of just the Clomid, then 3 months of IUI than onto the wait list for IVF (and its $10,000 here in Canada...yikes, nothing covered)
Hope we get our bfps much before that though!!

Vicky- hope you are set to O soon...

Dragonmummy- have you gotten your +ve opk yet? not too long now!!

Rudeollie- yeah for the May 4th scan!!

SSB- if i havent said congrats, huge congrats on youru BFP hon!!

TTC117- how are you doing? are you and your OH BD'ng every other day? that is what the FS told us to do....I really hope I still O on CD15 and not longer...I'm so impatient as it is the doc told me I was likely to still O around the same time...but only time will tell I guess

 

[babyloulou]

Hi Britt- doc reckons IVF is after this because OH has sperm issues too. He has low motility and morphology. I also never get fertile EWCM- so FS reckons the Clomid won't work- but wanted us to give it a go first just in case xx

 

[SBB]

sbb how are hun xx xx

Hi Caz I'm ok thanks! Went to the docs today, I've had some bleeding and some pain on the right side so they are going to do an early scan at 6 weeks to check for ectopic/OHSS... So just hoping it's all ok - don't think I can relax until then!

Hope all your Pre-seed works for you

x x x

 

[SBB]

Actually Caz I know you've had an ectopic - can you tell me what happened / how you knew?

x x x

 

[babyloulou]

Oh no SBB- I hope it all goes OK xx

 

[Rudeollie]

Hey Caz - Im not too bad. Getting paranoid again tho. Got a really sharp pain in my right hand side and Ive convinced myself its ectopic.........Im trying to put it out of my mind now until my scan but Im scared sheetless!!!!! hahaha

Woo hoo for you on preseed again tonight...So jealous I want some boom boom pow! Grrr

DH is cooking me spag bol but the mince is making me feel sick!

Hey Britt - How are you honey????

 

[caz & bob]

sbb aw ty hun i hope it all goes well for you fx its not an ectopic hun i had one at 6 week i was bleeding but it was brown and stunk xx xx

 

[SBB]

Hey Caz - Im not too bad. Getting paranoid again tho. Got a really sharp pain in my right hand side and Ive convinced myself its ectopic.........Im trying to put it out of my mind now until my scan but Im scared sheetless!!!!!

OMG me too! I hope if it is something it's OHSS as that can just sort itself out if it's not too severe... Doc said if it is that, then it will get a bit worse before it gets better and it will continue to 12 weeks ish....

Caz thank you - I have got brown blood but I do have that a lot anyway and it doesn't smell so I'm hoping it's ok..

Thanks Loulou x x x

[caz & bob]

ollie aw it will be nocking you sick hun sbb i never had any pain what so ever with my ectopic i just had brown discharg and it stunck and they gave me an internal scan and my hb seen it on the screen i was gutted xx xx

 

[SBB]

I can imagine how gutting it must be to find out it's ectopic... Not only do you lose the baby but you also can't get ttc-ing for a while.. Sorry hun it's rubbish
x x x

 

[Britt11]

got ya babylou...would they try IUI on you first maybe? I have heard pretty good success on that, they wash out DH's sperm (mostly good stuff left) and then inseminate right at the cervix...thats what we will try before IVF. Fx'd for a bfp real soon hon!

and Rudeollie and SSB absolutely NO feelings of ectopics please!! You ladies are going to be just fine and beanie is likely just snuggling really good into place...I have heard of many women having brown discharge around this time and being very normal. I totally understand your worry though, now that you finally have your beanie its scary something might happen.
Sorry to hear you had an ectopic Caz....but I'm sure the ladies really appreciate your insight and advice. Hope you have a sticky beanie very soon.

sending out lots of positive to you all
xx

 

[SBB]

Thanks Britt hun I hope so
