First Clomid Cycle Buddy?

[babyloulou]

Hi girls- there is already a Clomid Club thread if any of you want to join us xxx

 

[daisii]

Oh no! I have got endometriosis pain i my hip!!! I usually get it the week before AF. does this mean I'm out? also i have a really drippy nose and furry throat today, so I guess i'm getting a cold and AF soon!!!!! GRRRR

good luck everyone.

Daisii - Try not to read into it. A cold can be an early sign, so that cancels out the hip pain. We should both know this week! Here's hoping your LP is very long this time - like 9 months long

Chez - you're 16DPO today. Are you really going to hold off until Thursday??

Kel - are you doing OK? Sounds like a stressful week for you. Thinking about you.

Sarlar - Way to go with the PMA! Clomid & this thread has renewed my hope, too. I've gone through periods of throwing in the towel many times, but now I feel like there's a real chance. Even if it doesn't happen this cycle, it will happen.

Jess - any word? At least your LP is sufficiently long! Love the emoticon, doing laundry as we speak (type).

Lou - thank you! I enjoy stalking the other thread as well. It was really helpful this round to chat it up with girls experiencing it for the first time. We weren't at all trying to be exclusive!

The only "symptom" I'll offer up is a little difficulty with BM this morning (we're friends so I'm not apologizing for TMI). I usually BM like a champ. Of course I can find a million threads saying this is a symptom & easily ignore anything to the contrary.

Happy Monday all.

Ha ha- I know what you mean! Good for you! It's nice to be able to talk to others in the same boat! If you ever do lose track of this thread though then you know where the rest of us Clomid-goers are!! I'm on round 4 now and counting! Lots of girls on there are on different cycles xxx

morning ladies!!

chez - good on you to wait....We have no problem waiting anxiously with you...but make sure you let us know when you get that BFP!!!

kel - remember you arent out till you have a complete flow! fx crossed for you!!!!

lola - how was craig?

Blue - good luck on your first cycle, let us know if you have any questions....we are professional clomid takers now

sarlar - Dont worry about the spotting, I did spot for quite sometime, if i remember you had the same off to the side cervix as i did. i think maybe it gets to be a bit more invasive b.c of that. if you arent having any odor or pain then dont worry it will stop soon.

mrsja - how are you doing today, what cycle day are you on again?

well nothing new with me, just waiting to O, though I think it is close, I didnt O till cd 18 last month adn it looks like it will be the same this month. Other than that it is raining cats and dogs here.

Hi TTC, Craig was hilarious as usual. He had more freedom to express himself than he does on his show. I just love that guy. He has such a sharp wit - better than any of the other late night hosts (imo).

 

[MrsJA]

Morning girls!

I think we all need to get tickers, it's hard to remember where everybody is up to, lol!
TTC, I'm on day 31 today, 12DPO. I was totally planning to test today but I chickened out and decided to wait til 14DPO. If I get a negative today I will probably just tell myself it's b/c it's too early to test and end up doing it again in a couple of days anyway! So I'm going to wait - I know myself too well!

Daisi, I hope that hip pain is just from your embie burrowing in! (I have put an emoticon of someone doing the dishes here to cheer you up.) My fingers are crossed for you love.

Kel, hope you are doing OK honey, I'm thinking of you. Make sure you drink a couple of glasses of wine at some stage; sometimes that can help!

Lola remind me what DPO you are? I am wishing MASSIVE constipation for you! I hope you are backed up for DAYS! LOL! Only people who are TTC like us can get away with saying that sort of thing to each other. You know what I mean! I hope this is a good sign for you!
Now, here is a picture of someone hanging out some washing for good measure.

Sarlar, Chez and Blue, hope you guys are good.

Happy Monday and babydust to us all!

 

[caz & bob]

why dont you girls come over to the clomid club its great on there 2 bfp so far xx

 

[sarlar]

Ok so now i am frustrated!! The spotting from the HSG has stopped three times now...each time we bd'd....and each time the spotting starts again!! I know the after the hsg is suppose to be a great time to conceive but every time we bd i start spotting! Any insight?? I am so annoyed because we have actually been bd'ing every other day as planned and now i keep spotting...sure doesnt inspire the bding AT ALL!!

 

[Bluebell321]

Hi Sarlar, what's HSG (if you don't mind me asking)? I'm knew to the world of fertility treatment and it's all a bit of a mine field!

Well I took my first Clomid tablet last night. I was soooo nervous. Not sure what I thought was going to happen (maybe that my head would fall off or something ) But so far so good, nothing odd happened over night, so I'll hopefully be a bit more relaxed taking tonight's one.

 

[daisii]

Hi girls,
Ok, so I have totally lost track of where everyone is up too! Sorry If i miss people out!!!

Sarlar - Hope the spotting stops soon for you.

Bluebell- good luck with the clomid, I hope you get no side effects other than a BFP!!!!

Kel hop you are ok, and that things go ok this week.

MrsJA I am loving the emoticons!!!! They're fab

Lola this emoticon is specially for you!!!

Hope everyone else is good (I know I've missed people out sorry!!!).

update on me: 9/10dpo, no real symptoms still. Hip pain stopped hooray!!! other than that I have a fuzzy head, drippy nose and feel a bit fevery. Not sure if thats a symptom or just getting ill!!!!!!!

Good luck with the testing girls, we must all be getting close now.

blue: HSG is a hysterosalpingogram, a test of female fertility potential. The HSG test is a radiology procedure usually done in the radiology department of a hospital or outpatient radiology facility. Radiographic contrast (dye) is injected into the uterine cavity through the vagina and cervix.The uterine cavity fills with dye and if the fallopian tubes are open, dye fills the tubes and spills into the abdominal cavity.
This determines if the fallopian tubes are open or blocked and whether a blockage is located at the junction of the tube and uterus (proximal) or whether it is at the other end of the fallopian tube (distal). These are the areas where the tube is most commonly blocked.

Many docs require this sort of testing prior to starting fertility treatments-ie my doctor for one. I had to do the HSG, had labs drawn for hormone levels and such, and also my dh had to have a sperm analysis (SA).

p.s. LOVE the emoticons ladies. They make me

 

[Simi78]

Hi Ladies, I am new here and not very good at the abbreviation so i apologize in advance!
Ok my story...My husband and i have been married for 7 years and never really used any birth control (we are both 31)...we started "proper trying" 4 years ago and we have been very unfortunate. Sept 09 I had a laporoscopy and i everything looked fine, they found a 'patch' in my uterus which they dont think is connected to my infertility tho...(i need to have a HSG done to have it checked out).
I am on my 2nd cycle of clomid, i am taking 100mg and i went for my scan yesterday, Dr said it looks better than last time but theres no good news...basically there were some folicals but not big enough...(he was very vague) and as he was performing the scan I started bleeding...Ahhh!!!! He suggested it could be bleeding from the cervix...not sure (he said they can test for that, its just like a smear test) The only problem is that i have very irregular periods and now im thinking this may be it...and its confusing the hell outta me...i mean i dont know when im 'on my period' or that its just the cervix bleeding!!!!!
Anyways hes asked me to go in on Thursday for another scan and i guess i will know a bit more then!...
I wish you all loads of baby dust as they all say...Good luck and i hope we all have babies very soon!!
If anybody has any advise or knows what could be happening to me please message me...Thank you for taking the time to read this xxxx

 

[Simi78]

Oh Daisii, I forgot to mention....im too feeling a bit run down...a runny nose and sore throat...not sure if its connected to the clomid....but ive been feeling like this since Thursday last week...doesnt seem to have got any better...

 

[daisii]

Hi Simi, you poor thing will all the testing! Doctors can be really odd and vague can't they. Mind you I went for a smear once and the doc had me on the couch legs akimbo funny little gadget thin inserted and opened..... then she said "oh i haven't got a swab, back in a min" and left me there for 5 mins!!!!!!!!

How many dpo are you? I am currently cycle day 25 but only 9/10 dpo. the stuffy head sore throat and runny nose are really getting me down, just hope it's a good thing not just a cold!

 

[sarlar]

SIM-welcome and too bad about all that stuff going on!! hopefullly the bleeding stops soon. did the doc explain any more about the cervical bleeding?? i would definately bug him and ask tons of questions. it sucks not knowing whats going on with your own body!! i have learned about obsessing about my body now after this ttc stuff has happened!! daisi-hopefully you are only a few short days away from a bfp!! im pullin for ya-we definately need our first bfp on this thread

 

[lola13]

Jess - your posts are killer. I love them! I'm 10DPO today (Tues) & would normally expect AF 11-12DPO. BB's are still sore so I'm pretty sure she's not coming today.

Sarlar - I'm not sure about your spotting. Any chance it's related to ov? I used to spot a bit right before Ov. Have you had a positive OPK yet?

Daisii - Love the emoticon, literally made me lol (& I rarely use that!). A few more days, hang in there.

Sim - Sorry I can't give you any input on the bleeding. You should go ahead with the test, too. Also, has DH had an analysis. After 4 years, I would encourage you to do some more diagnostics.

Chez - um...not exactly the time to go silent on us. Hello???

Kel - I know you're really busy this week, but I hope we hear from you today.

 

[sarlar]

Lola: you are getting close!! when do you plan on testing? well i am not really sure it could be related to ovulation as i normally do not ovulate and havent started the clomid yet. I have not had a +opk but also have not been religious about testing because as i said i dont ever ovulate and opks get to be expensive after so many months!! I was trying to save my package of opks for next month wehn i am on the clomid but maybe i should break them out and test for a few days just to see... peace of mind would be worth the money for the opks!! I also am very bloated and have a stomach ache-soreness. who knows maybe i am finally ovulating on my own!!

chez-i agree you are killing us. please announce your BFP!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

sarlar - yep, been there....that happened to me too! I spotted after bding, and I asked my dr about it and he said...it is ok as long as we dont mind. I didnt stop spotting until right before O......are you having any pain or is the spotting smelly?

blue - hahahaha, yeah I felt like that when I took my first pill also...I was in florida visiting my sisters when I had to start them so I went and told both of them that I took it in case they had to rush me to the hospital and pump my stomache...of course they both looked at me and laughed...I was fine though, just a minor headache about an hour after I took it.

daisii - drippy nose and feeling fevery are symptoms....I cant wait to see all the bfps

chez - where are you????

lola - how are you today? Any symptoms to report?
