Hi everyone - havem't been on here in a little while - been tres busy.

The still hasn't arrived - I'm hoping the combination of exercise, extra healthy eating and metformin will kick my body into action soon - Would really like to turn upto my next appointment with fertility dr already pregnant - fingers crossed! (isn't until August - so have a little time!)

Have my driving test next Friday and am getting really nervous - I really hope I pass!

BizyBee - how did the first cycle of Clomid go - have any side effects?

Drakey - sorry about your cycles - I know how you feel. When I went to dr's about mine (and possible pregnany - faulty preg tests told me a positive when it was a negative!) I was on CD89 and he said that something was obviuosly not right and referred me to the fertility dr at hospital - but it depends on individual circumstances etc - I hope it gets sorted soon .

Hope everyone else is ok? x

 

[BizyBee]

Quail, hope you O soon.

Drakey, things are different here since we have private healthcare, so I'm not sure what your Dr. will do next. Fingerscrossed the Dr. will be able to help. If not, hope arrives so you can move on.

Aly, I'm doing well so far. I took Clomid right before bed and didn't have any side effects. I don't really feel any different yet. They say to wait 3 days after taking it to start OPK's. It's been 4 days and I'm going to start them today. I guess I'm supposed to really feel when I'm ovulating, so I'm just waiting for some pain! Hope the healthy eating and metformin help you get a bfp before your appointment...

Erised, how did the move go?

 

[quail]

well im on cd19 today and ive finally got my pos opk had plenty of bd but gonna get one in tonight for good luck fxd for everyones bfp this cycle.xx

 

[Erised]

Erised, how did the move go?

Just a quick responds while DH is booting up a game =)
The move went well, and I'm loving the new place. Unfortunatly the neighbours turned out to be quite noisy before we left, but I'm hoping that will be different when we get back. We were only in the new place for a week before going to Holland to visit my parents so we're still settling in really.

We have one of our friends from England over for a week in Holland now, so I'm not on a lot. Back in England we won't have the internet until the end of May! No phoneline until May 18th *sigh*

Will update with photos and stuff in a couple of weeks probably.

Cycle wise, I'm still waiting for anything to happen. Not expecting ovulation, maybe AF before going to see the gynae? Don't know! Less than 2 weeks now

Sigh, until I went off the pill I was having 28 or 29 day cycles. I'm on CD26 now. We aren't really tracking ovulation right now, kind of just decided to be chilled out about the entire thing, so I think I will just test every 29-30 days lmao.

 

[BizyBee]

Good to hear from you Erised. Too bad you won't have internet for a while. We'll still be here when you get back though...

Blonde, it's definitely hard to know when to test. During my 72 day cycle, I went through a ridiculous amount of tests, then I started to realize that I had a problem. I'm tracking OV now because Dr. wants me to on Clomid but I still don't temp.

 

[Erised]

Good luck with the Clomid BizyBee, hope the first cycle will do the trick for you and leave you with a sticky bean =)

I've had a fun night. Went to bed around 3, completely exhausted. Woke up around 3:30 shaking like mad. I'd been having bad dreams about not being able to control my body for a while, and forced myself to wake up. Turns out it wasn't just dreams, and I had been having cold chills/cramps for a while already as my legs were hurting from the constant muscle spasms. I didn't actually -feel- cold, but my body obviously felt different. Woke up DH in a bit of a panic, and he told me I was freezing and to check my temp. Found it had dropped to around 35.32C, my usual temp around that time is ~36.20 ... so nearly a full degree lower than what it should be. Tmi ... but with all the muscles in my body spasming my bowels went into overdrive (and I usually have trouble due to IBS) making me feel very sick.

DH got an extra blanket and warmed me up a little to the point where I could actually stand up again and then I walked up and down the stairs and house to warm up. Hot tea, walking, 2 blankets and around 90 mins later I stopped shaking. It scared the livin' daylight out of me. I thought about calling the doctor, but at that time things started to improve already. I managed to get back to sleep around 6 in the morning, and needless to say I'm very tired today. Plus my legs hurt as if I've been working out.

Now, today my cervix is very wet (though no ewcm), high and soft. We already figured last night that maybe this was brought on by a sudden temp dip to do with ovulation? Could this be the case? And if so, I'm assuming this is just because my body hasn't ovulated in so long ... it better not be a normal thing!

Of course, I'm in Holland now and forgot to take my OPK's with me, so I can't confirm. My temperature this morning was 36.84 due to sleeping under 2 blankets to stop shaking. So that's absolutely pointless and not accurate. I'll see what my normal temp is like tomorrow.

 

[BizyBee]

Hmm, that's interesting. I hope you did ovulate and your body wasn't sure how to handle it. Glad you're feeling better. xx

 

[quail]

hope you feel better soon eriseed. im now 1-2dpo so in the 2ww fxd this is my month and good luck to all you girlies.xx

 

[Erised]

Well, today my temperature was right back to normal again. Same with my cervix. So I guess it wasn't a successful ovulation. *sigh*

Oh well, back to the gynae for me in just a week! =)

 

[drakey]

Hi ladies,

well cd 84 and no af! ofto docs tonight got an appt at 7.40! so im hoping he can work his magic! im real scared tho xxx

 

[quail]

any news drakey?

 

[drakey]

hi ladies, keeping u updates ..right then, here is what happened at docs lol

went in, didnt even have chance to sit down lol .... he asked what was wrong and i explained that it had been about 7 months and had the cycles that ive had etc.... he did weight and height which he didnt say nothing about apart from im a tall girl lmao.

then he did blood pressure and its high, considering i had ran for a bus and didnt get chance to sit down and catch my breath!... looks like my blood pressure will be a big problem tho last time i got it checked it was high.... but it doesnt seem a problem to me! i cnt tell the difference.

so i gotta have lots of blood done he said, and i asked what for and he said everything... so i said ovulation and he said yeh, i said hormones and he said yeh... he said the lot. so im guessing things for diabetes too and stuff. the nurse is checking my blood pressure again next week but hopefully ill have lost weight by then so that should have helped. so there u have it, oh n mat has to take a semen sample into hospital , so he gunna do it on friday, its gotta be ther 2 hrs after the deed lmao

im just dreading getting blood took now pmsl. then weeks after my bloods been taken i have to get another appointment and he will go through the results for me... can u think of n e thing else he might of tested for, coz he said everything xxxxxx

So I'm on CD 29 now and I think my period is about to start but idk.

My bbs hurt horribly and my nipples are so tender I can't even stand a shirt. Had some minor cramping yesterday, which is odd because I usually cramp after I start my period. BUT, I don't have the CM I usually get right before my period. Plus my OH says he thinks I'm about to start (he for some reason is almost always right) he says I smell different. Sorry TMI, lol.

Before I was on b/c I would have pms-y symptoms sometimes without having a period, and the sore bbs were a constant issue then, so I have no freaking idea what's going on.

 

[BizyBee]

Drakey, glad things are moving forward! You'll probably have the usual tests like estrogen, LH, FSH, and progesterone. You may also have thyroid testing. Good luck!

Blonde, hope doesn't show and the cramps/sore bbs are due to a bfp!!!

 

[blondeNklutzi]

Bizy, I'm hoping so but I tested today and got a BFN. We shall see. I have absolutely no idea if I ovulated this month or not so I guess I will test in about a week if the symptoms don't go away or the doesn't show. Like I said, before I was on b/c I would have cramps and sore bbs and everything else like my period was coming, it would last a while, but AF wouldn't show. I want my BFP
