clomid club

[lisaf]

Anyway, not looking good for me... and now I'm extra confused. Starting to think my test was invalid.

I used the progesterone suppository last night.. my temp fell below my coverline today and spotting is getting heavier.
Now I just have to resist the urge to use the suppositories from 1dpo onward (some doctors prescribe this and it seems to help some women but my doctor refused to let me use it that way... but now I have this prescription all filled and waiting to be used).

Hello beautiful ladies,

first off I have to say that I am absolutely appalled and disgusted that some person decided to take their bad day/experience out on Rudeollie! That is pathetic and it is obviously their own person problem with jealousy. Not only is Ellen not able to communicate with us regularly on this thread but also now we are not able to get useful pertinent information on the Clomid and what worked for the girls that got BFPs- absolutely ridiculous!!
Seriously Ellen, my jaw literally dropped reading this, I cant believe it....I really want you to stay...perhaps we can write to the BNB admin...Either way, I am adding you as a friend, would really like to still keep in touch

agggh still fuming, on another note:

Emma- hon, I am confused about your chart too...you had the +ve opk on the perfect day, CD14, so you would have hopefully O'd the next day- CD15...your CD21 bloods will tell for sure. Silly question, but is there any way something is wrong with your thermometer? just asking....because the chart seems off. Did you have O pains?

Dragonmummy- ha ha your post made me laugh...yes its a slow start but definitely an O!!

Babylou- your chart is looking fantastic!

as for me, last dose of Clomid today....curious I am still on 50mg but do you think I should have doubled it to the 100 like they originally said? I only questioned the clinic as my #'s were off the chart last month on CD21 and they came back and said yeah, just keep with the 50mg...now I'm worried that wont be enough for the IUI....agghh, I shouldnt worry or second I guess I think...

what cycle do you take your clomid hun x x x x

 

[caz & bob]

when do you think i should start testing for ovulation because to day i have type pain x x x

Hey Caz, last cycle I took it days 5-9 and this cycle its 3-7 as per the fertility clinic (apparently thats their policy for everyone).
When we first me with the FS, he told me to double the dose to 100mg this month, ...then I got CD21 on 50mg and the progesterone was off the charts...so I phoned back and asked if they still wanted me to double it, my FS was away so she asked another doc and he said to just keep with the 50 but take it on days 3-7, just hope its enough....someone worried me on the dose is all that it should be 100mg...

I just started a thread over in the general area for all us current or former or potential clomid users. This way its not in an area where someone who is very sensitive about TTC will be upset by a pregnant or even a new mommy is posting but we can all keep in touch and share everything.

What do you gals think?

sorry to hear that....on a positive note your LP was pretty long this cycle...I thought I remembered you saying that you normally had a short LP. So your bfp is right around the corner!! I know CD1 is so awful

 

[lisaf]

Check me out guys, I would like to nominate myself for the "Most Pathetic Temperature Surge To Give Crosshairs" award.

I really think I have a shot at it.....

poor little surge
I think you deserve the award...

 

[lisaf]

Its weird but I'm not so terribly upset. Either something happened and for whatever reason it didn't stick - in which case its at least possible for it to happen for me - or at least my spotting didn't start up at 10-11dpo which is AWESOME... my temps were even much better looking all around and getting a surge in temp at 7dpo instead of a dip is better (well, unless the dip is actual implantation which of COURSE is better).

I know my progesterone was tested too early last cycle but the fact that it wasn't as pathetic/low this time may mean things are getting better and better for me.

I'm a little scared to be off the Clomid, but my ultrasound is being scheduled for CD12 so I should get a heads up on if I'm going to ovulate on my own and that should take some of the anxiety away from that... either I will or I won't but I'll get some warning if its actually going to happen.
I just wish I could stop temping etc during this break, but I know it will be less stressful to know for sure if I ovulated and when.

AF is due today for me.. but by taking the suppository last night I may have thrown that off.. may come anyway though, we'll see.

OH LisaF, I am so sorry... thats how I felt when AF visited me in April!
OK, I'm going to start charting to get on board with everyone here.

Ellen, I hope you don't leave.. I can't imagine someone taking out their frustrations of what is supposed to be a beautiful journey and hurt someone else as they have achieved what ultimately we are all trying to achieve.
Anyway, we have all been through way too much to start causing stress for a woman who has achieved the most beautiful thing in the world!!! We are behind ou and DON'T LEAVE!!

I am on cd10 bd every other night until ovulation.

Thanks LisaF, I will start looking at the information you gave me, that was very helpful!!

WOOP new thread to stalk! CC is taking over the boards! Good idea Loulou, somewhere not just for success stories but for the girlies waiting to be put on the 'Mid.

@Lisa - you're being very rational hun. But the fat lady still ain't singing.... Am I doing the flase hope thing again? pmsl

And thanks for the award.... truly the lamest chart to ever limp into crosshairs....

Am off to tuck me and the boy into bed and watch Dr Who. He truly is obsessed...

 

[Wobbles]

Hi All! Well thanks to however complained over me not been considerate within the group about me been pregnant!

Im not getting into it as I am truly upset. Should anyone from here wish to keep in touch please PM with your email address and I'll be sure to keep in touch that way.

Sorry to whoever I upset by sticking round, sorry for answering questions from others about how I was and so sorry for tryin to offer help and advice to others on the difficult journey.

Such a shame!

Lots of love of luck to Lou, Vicky, Caz, Sam Emma, Britt and TTC! Sorry if I miss anyone Im trying to get off here quickly xxx

You drama queen - Seriously you need to shake yourself for being so selfish and full of yourself. There was no need for this post at all (you didn't have to stop advising or posting within LTTTC either) but you wanted to cause a 'look at me' scene ...right?

 

[Wobbles]

I will confirm my contact with member via PM which I was honest and straight about, sorry if not pussy footing around it upset to the point it's been taken way past what it was about!

Hi there,

I'm contacting you about your activity within the LTTTC section. We ask all ladies to use that section of the forum with compassion including ladies who after LTTTC fall pregnant.

We have had concerns raised over your activity and regular talk of your pregnancy within this section and would like to remind you these things can be upsetting to read ...how tired you are, your scans etc all of these girls would love to be tired and feeling as you do but its salt in a wound when you haven't got it. I'm sure you know that?

If you could talk to forum friends within that sections with consideration in mind that would be great.

Thank you

Wobbles

The reply I got was well OTT stating things like she was unable to offer support, didn't realise she'd be pushed out and wasn't allowed to use the section, how she would do a goodbye thread blah blah and how upset SHE felt not maybe the people who are having a hard time reading a handful of pregnancy symptoms (not the odd one) ...it's not just about your forum friends and journals are an excellent way to stay in touch but it NEVER stops advice being offered.

My reply to that (its up to her to post her PM as I cannot)

Wow

How selfish of you.

I would like you to read over my PM again but I will point out parts of it;

I'm sure you know that?

So I did not ask you to move on now did I? And I am most certainly up for pointing this out on the public forum to you if you wish to stamp your feet.

 

[babyloulou]

Wobbles- ellen has never upset anyone in here about her pregnancy. She has remained an active and supportive member of this thread. She offers us all support and hadn't even put a ticker on so not to upset us. I think rather than being a drama queen she is just genuinely upset and surprised!

 

[Wobbles]

You mean you haven't been upset? You answering on behalf of everyone yet there's of course a reason for my contacting your friend so no not everyone was ok with reading updates on symptoms and scans on a regular basis among her replies. The response to my PM was selfish and inconsiderate. This shouldn't have become a public debate and there was no reason for it to.

Journals are a great way to stay in contact with FULL details daily symptoms etc where friends can communicate from all sections. But still I didn't tell this lady she should not post and couldn't give advice and I refuse to allow her to flame like that, sorry.

 

[babyloulou]

I honestly don't understand what had upset anyone to be honest- that's all. Rudeollie only spoke about her symptoms because people asked her!
