Thanks for asking. What a waste of time! I waited an hour and fifteen minutes past my appointment time to be told he couldn't prescribe anything and I would have to call the consultants secretary. Which I did, explained my problem of annovulation as its been nearly 6 weeks since last AF. She asked had I done a HPT? Yes, millions! Did I use FMU? Of course, I'm a TTC veteran! lol
She then says perhaps it did work. No lady, it didn't. My LP is 14 days. If I did indeed ovulate on CD27 that was nothing to do with the Clomid! Clomid works if ovulation occurs up to 14 days after the last tablet. I was a bit cross by now!
So, it turns out that she may be able to get me a provera prescription next Monday if AF hasn't shown. Not much help really! Still stuck in limbo.
The only good thing to report is that I had a huge temp drop this morning so hopefully that means AF is on the way.
I might only take 50mg next cycle and see how I get on. I have had so many pains in my tummy and ovaries this month that I feel perhaps it overstimulated them which caused the problems. I don't know. If they had scanned me or at least given me a blood test I would have known. I feel like they left me high and dry.
Are you on tablet taking CD now honey? Xx

omg how annoying!! 
i hope af comes before that for u so u can move on to the next cycle, when ur ttc everyday counts doesnt it! 50mg sounds like a plan if u wer in discomfort! it works for me!
im on cd3 now so taking clomid again.booo.
ive decided to go for my fertility reflexology after all, its actually tomorrow so maybe itll jus relax me ready for the month ahead

Do let us know how the reflexology goes. I'm hoping it does the trick. I guess at this stage anything is worth a shot.
If I could afford it, I would try acupuncture. I've heard good things about this too.
You are right about every day counting. I feel like it has been such a waste of 6 weeks. At least a 4 week cycle is better even with a BFN. I should in theory been gearing up to ovulate again for cycle 2 had my body behaved! I just need to let this cycle go and move on. For that I need closure with AF. Of course, I always wonder perhaps this could be our month, however small the chance. That hope drives me crazy when I think logically. But what is logic when TTC?!
Enjoy your week ladies. Xx

Are your drs not willing to try a higher dose of clomid, jessie?

Teeny- ive heard good things about accupuncture too! your right there is absolutely no logic when it comes to ttc!
miranda- my blood work is showing that i ovulate really well on 50mg so there wouldnt be any benefit from upping the dosage xx

So last night was a bit of a disaster!
I was all fine in the day, clomid makes me a little hormonal but apart from that i was fine. I'm finding my worklife a slight struggle as the 3 girls i work with have babies and 1 is pregnant, due on the same day i would be. but ive learnt to just plod along.
so neway i went for reflexology, which was emotional as i had to talk about everything from the start, how i was feeling, the details of the miscarriage etc. it was very relaxing then when the session started and after an hour i did feel very calm and relaxed. howver, then she said she would recommend weekly sessions, this would be £120 a month and not feesible at the moment. so i went home thinking about it, had a hot bath n tried to switch my mind off from it all.
Then dh comes home from football to tell me one of our closest friends is pregnant, with her second child. both of these pregnancies have happend since weve been trying for number 1. and this is a couple that we spend a lot of time with, and have things planned for the summer to take my mind off ttc. well now well just be talking pregnancies. so for some reason i started crying and just couldnt stop for the rest of the evening.
this ended up in a row with dh as he was saying he just doesnt understand why im crying, i should be happy for them. men just dont get it. of course im happy for her, i wasnt crying for her i was crying for me. arghhhh!!!

Im so sorry Jessie, I almost started cried just reading this. I completely understand why you are upset. I would be too. I hope that your husband can understand it too.
Like I tell a lot of the ladies on here, it's too bad we don't all live closer, we could have our venting parties together.
I know that there isn't anything to say except that some day it will happen for us, it has to. I hope you feel better soon.

Aww Jessie, massive 
I tally understand where you're coming from, a lot of us on here have been there too and we feel guilty enough without other making us feel even more guilty! I've cried at the news of so many pregnancies, it's not that I'm not happy for them but I'm sad for me.
When I had my mmc at 10 weeks a girls I worked with had the exact same due date as me. When I lost the baby I just couldn't even bare seeing her, I changed my shifts at work and everything.
Hopefully your oh will start to understand more why you are upset, I'd try again to explain to him when you're less upset. You're allowed to feel like that, it's normal. When I was ttc my first it took 5 years and at the assisted conception waiting room they had a poster and it said 'The only thing that hurts more than having a baby is not being able to have a baby ' It's so true.
I do believe you will get your rainbow baby though, you respond really well to the clomid which is great.

That is such a true statement PrincessTaz. I wanted to tell my BFF that as she was telling me all through her labor how much labor sucked (and she had a much quicker problem free one than most people) but I would never have actually said it to her. I just thought it...
You should not feel bad about the way you feel Jessie, unfortunately most people don't understand it. Unfortunately for all of us, we do...
Super hugs!

I do feel the same way when I get the pregnancy news from friends. Many are having their second and here we are struggling to even have one.
Men don't understand these deep emotions. This is so hard. I am glad we have this group where we can vent anything we want to and get the support.
About fertility reflexology I don't think you have to go there every week. Just do what you are doing. You got your BFP that way and you will get your sticky one too by doing the same.

I'm CD4 here and will start to BD when the witch leaves the building!
I like the fertile week part, I feels like we are doing something productive.
FX'd you catch the egg this month honey.
It's good to hear you enjoyed your weekend too. Xx

I like the idea of fertile week and then day of TWW and then again fertile week. 
I don't want TWW or AF. I can manage with only a week of TWW though but I go crazy the last week before AF anticipating the outcome of the cycle.
Cd2 for me. My plan is to start BD as soon as I see fertile cm. If I don't see any then will start from cd13 as I am ovulating late from last two cycles.
Good luck to all of us getting August BFPs.
