Amy- Ahh course you do, have you got a high yet? What day do you usually OV? Glad you got psychiatrist appointment because you had a hell of a rough time and it is good for you to be getting someone who can help you to cope you are a very strong woman for coping this long with everything
Poppy- Ahh good to hear and yeah but you have had it since korben was born so it could possibly still be PND just carrying on over the last few months glad your getting some help now hun hopefully you will be able to feel a bit better soon when you get your referral, I agree with phoebe that MC possibly made things worse
Sorry all you girls are having such a rough time of it, I am sort of the other side of where you lots seem to be (I had a mood disorder, severe depression, anxiety disorder, psychosis and I was suicidal) and I feel a hell of a lot better now I am just starting to enjoy life again, I know I am a lot younger than you lot but I totally understand the problems depression cause and I can honestly say that counselling and psychiatrists helped me a lot, I have actually been discharged at the moment but can make an appointment whenever I want to. Just want you to know that no matter how bad the problems are you can overcome them, time helps a lot and the person you go to see will help you to cope I hope you all end up in a very happy place like I have finally got to remember god would not give us challenges we can not cope with sorry for the whole rant thing I have never told anyone outside of close friends and family and it was nice to get it off my chest
PK- Wow! Glad u got all that off your chest now breathe your life seems very stressful! Lets hope your DH starts to see that you actually know what you are talking about and starts listening, i hope it all works out

dunno everything went tits up with soy

 

[Damita]

Glad it wasn't just me Amy... soy buggered up three cycles for me!

 

[poppy666]

They're right when they say it works for some & not for others, like Clomid i guess... but im in 2 minds if to try it again still arghhhh didnt think id say that, but hey ho

 

[pk2of8]

thanks pops...i guess i'm being somewhat dramatic. just aggravation of the mo. really not so bad, just what i happen to be dealing with at the mo is all. i guess it'll all be settled and over one way or another by the end of the week

you know, i really feel strongly the soy has helped my cycles a lot. i guess like you said, helps some and not others. i need to do some research on how long (how many months straight) one can take it though. i read in a book recently that clomid, if taken at the highest dose (something like 200 or 250mg, which would be 400mg soy) can only be taken up to 3 months straight before taking a break, but it didn't say how long of a break. plus it didn't say how long you could take it if one is taking LESS than the max dose. i'm basically applying the same rules for soy as for clomid, so i guess i'll be doing more research on that. i'm thinking also (if no bfp this cycle of course) trying the soy one more cycle at least and doing straight 200mg the whole time as that would be equivalent to 100mg clomid. still it's not the max dose though. i don't know...

 

[poppy666]

Think with what ive read to be taken no more than 6mths then take a break, but will need to double check... i dont think ive known anyone take over 200mg but be interesting to see/hear if anyone has taken a higher dose.

IF i did take again when i know for sure ive got my af i will take only on CD3-7for a stronger egg, because if for some reason me taking it on CD2-6 for more eggs especially when im a lot older my eggs wouldnt be in the same shape, condition as someone a lot younger than me and i may not get a sticky ( if you know what i mean) lol x

 

[pk2of8]

yep i hear ya poppy that sounds like a good plan to me if you decide to do soy again! 6 months sounds good to me too...although i guess if we can ever get it sorted to find a new doc that i'll have to stop using it for that cycle i suppose. i wonder how long it takes to get it out of your system...have you read anything on that??

 

[poppy666]

About a week or once you get af someone said on here, not sure. Just done an opk its going back darker lol i need a drink OH here tonight so will jump him just incase, but i got some af cramping going on here so dont know x

 

[future_numan]

I was told when we went for IUI with clomid that we were "advised" to do no more than 6 cycles with clomid before taking a break. I have never heard of anyone take 200mg of clomid ( not to say it isn't possible) but what they did with me is..when 100mg clomid only rendered two good size eggs ( must remember my eggies aren't young anymore) and we got a the next cycle they gave me 100mg of clomid from CD 3-7 PLUS Pergeon pen ( sorry don't remember the dose) and that rendered seven good size eggs.. and that was the cycle we conceived Emily with IUI. I was told that the only reason they went ahead with the IUI with so many eggs was my age...If I had been 15yrs younger they wouldn't have completed the IUI.

:wave: ladies,
to you Amy & Lupine, you are strong women and my God bless you both.

@Pk, hunni if you feel that strong about it, then ride right along with DH. What's he gonna do, tell you, you cant go...yeah ok!!.

@Poppy, glad your appointment went well. So proud of you for taking that step

Hey Phoebe how ya doing hun :wave:

asfm, I have been having some dry cm, I have not started my OPK's yet. I was going to start Saturday, but I might start tomorrow or Friday if I can get to the store to buy more. PK I think you said Answer was a good brand...if not let me know what you use. I'm due to O next Wed (per countdown to pregnancy) so when should I start dtd...like every other day? I don't dtd enough anyway...so I need to make this count...LOL

 

[China girl]

Sometimes I wonder if my body is actually producing any eggs since I was on the pill for 9 years....I have been thinking about that a lot...hmmm

 

[phoebe]

Hey China xxx
I'd start dtd now maybe every other night. But thats me being a gutty cow Are u using softcups or anything?? xxx


Fyi i was on the pill 18 years before coming off back in 2008 xx

 

[mrsamyrach]

Glad it wasn't just me Amy... soy buggered up three cycles for me!

[phoebe]

Was on the pill so long as i suffered dreadful periods, then had the coil for about 8 months, which was horrific. Then finally got diagnosed with pcos around 1999ish and got put on the dianette pill xxxx

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Quickly hopped on to say I'm lurking Been out for a lot of the day, and trying to catch up with dinner, kids, n stuff. I'll catch up with my ding dongs later with a cuppa BTW loving seeing ya back AMY! we missed ya x

 

[poppy666]

I thought that too CG when i was on the Depo Provera for about 5yrs, thought thats why me & OH wasnt getting anywhere, but korben here and obviously i concieved in November too. Think thats why i took the Soy to make sure i ov'd.

I generally DTD before ov and on it, but only know for sure if charting

 

[coral11680]

Hi ladies,

Hi futurenuman and welcome!

PK sorry to hear about all the drama you are having sweetie, let's hope this cycle is the one so you dnt need to worry anymore

Poppy hope you get the help you need Hun.

Babyd I agree no point in being in miserable job Hun.

I am being so impatient about finding out the sex. Don't know why I just can't stop thinking about it. I've even looked into getting a private one and you can go as early as 16 weeks which is less than 2 weeks ago. Oh I'm so tempted! There is one not too far from me that does it for £65. Tink when is your 20 week scan? I want to know the sex before we go to that baby show! Lol

Damita, Amy, lupine,

 

[coral11680]

Oops hit send to soon, I meant to say hi to those and Phoebe, china, etc x

 

[China girl]

Phoebe dont use softcups...it freaks me out just thinking about how you have to put it up there

Poppy, don't have the patience to chart. I was thinking about soy....but umm...think I'm going to pass on that one for right now. I think I will start dtd, but don't want to get DH burnt out before I really need his

 

[poppy666]

CG i know its a pain taking your temp every morning but only a sure sign you ov'd that cycle, then at least if you didnt you can do something about it sweetie ie soy or something else x

 

[China girl]

I will purchase a thermometer or order one on online and try it if I don't get knocked up this cycle. I have no idea what to do, so I guess I will pester you ladies and make you help me
