It is a great thread. I think each newbie is genuinely welcome....a very welcoming thread! I took my last pill on Sat, so cd10 today. Nothing major....just sick of waiting.....waiting for appointments,to start tablets, to finish tablets, to ovulate, for AF, to test yaddayaa.....

But I know it's just the way of TTC, and all of us are going through it. And one day I hope with all my heart we will ALL get our BFPs, and the waiting and worrying won't matter any more.

Just having a moan, forgive me!! xxx

 

[scerena]

I'm cd8 today (I think lol) and I know I'm the same it's horrible waiting for appointments etc feels constant always something to do or take isn't there lol!
But it will be worth it when we all get our bfp's won't it!

You're not moaning Hun and even if you was that's what we are here for!
Xx

Thank you lovely, you're an absolute gem

Hi Ladies! Sorry its been a busy day =(. I totally feel you on the waiting part. Its constantly something until the next step and it seems to take 4eeever. My FS told me the other day - there's a present at the end of all this pain and you just have to stay positive and make your body as healthy as possible including staying stress free. My bf does really well at taking my mind off things. He's so patient and understanding. I love him dearly. As hard as it is to stay calm, its probably the best thing we can do for our bodies.

 

[scerena]

Aw thanks justwantababy

Turboturtle- how are you feeling today Hun? Very true what your fs said Hun and its good to hear your oh is so understanding mine is too a majority of the time which is good lol x

 

[TeddyBearPug]

turboturtle-thats very good advice from your doctor! it keeps things in perspective!

Hello everyone! today is CD 12 and i'm starting to get some ewcm at times. yesterday i thought i had actually peed on myself...it had me running to the restroom! still no +opk.

As for side effects, last night i woke up in a horrible sweat! my legs were soaked, my hair was wet, and my forehead was dripping!! that was a first for me!

 

[scerena]

Hey teddybearpug- oh jo not the hot flushes! I hate them and so far haven't had any this cycle last cycle was a nightmare! What cd do you usually ovulate?- has it been regular since Clomid?
X

 

[TeddyBearPug]

scerena-this has been the worst cycle with the hot flashes! When i was taking clomid on 3-7 i ovulated on cd 14-15, then last cycle i went days 3-9 and i ovulated on cd 19 or 20. I can't remember exactly. I didn't get a smiley but i was doing cheapie opk's at the same time. Last month i was really stressed out over when i would ovulate and hurt my chances i think. I think i'm going to ovulate around 15 or 16 this cycle. I have ovulated on all my clomid rounds so far. When do you expect to ovulate?

 

[Holi2459]

beanhunter - whats fs? how come u can only do 3 cycles. this is my 6th , 1st on 150mg . had 2 of 50mg and 2 of 100mg, i only O'd once on 100mg.

justwantababy - im so glad i ahve all you girls too. no1 else ever understands at all do they . specially when ppl say oh just relax and try not to think about it and u just think i cant just stop thinking about it!! lol
xx

 

[scerena]

Teddybearpug- aw I feel sorry for you hot flushes are so horrible u just can't seem to cool down can u!
That's good you ovulate on all your cycles though Hun
Well I'm on my 2nd cycle and didn't ovulate on my 1st round so hopefully as they increased the dosage this time I'm hoping it helps me ovulate.

Holi- tell me about it if I hear 'relax' one more time!- I'm going to loose it one day with someone lol!

[beanhunter]

Fs is fertility specialist. Only have prescription for 3 and then have to wait for the next appt. Not sure whether I'd be given more at that point or referred for iui/ivf? Who knows, feel in the dark and fed up at the mo.

 

[scerena]

Beanhunter- hope you're ok? I only get 3 months too ONCE I START OVULATING and then if no bfp i have to have a laparoscopy then discuss the next steps... I hate it too
My fs said they only like to do 3 months at a time as apparently a majority of people if they're going to get pregnant then they will within the 3 months, but I do hear of people being on it longer and getting their bfp's but oh well I have to follow their rules I suppose.

to all my clomid ladies

[beanhunter]

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I've already had a lap and dye for an endometrial cyst and shown to have clear tubes. It's just frustrating as if it doesn't work their will be an 8 week wait til my next appt.
My day 21 progesterone was 43 - think that means I ovulated first cycle? If so I'm trying to cling onto that. However can't help but think if I ovulated and we bd at the right time why didn't it work? Trying to pick myself up but this last failed cycle has really crushed me.

 

[scerena]

Aw Hun try not to worry too much! And we are here anytime you are feeling down ok...
I know the waiting times are annoying but let's hope you don't need to go back or better still we both don't
Yep I think that means you ovulated, but you have that to hold on too... Ttc is hard on our feelings and makes our emotions go all over the place- I just have to keep in my mind that we will get our baby soon.

Scerena - Sometimes the only other person who feels the pain we do is our significant other and when he doesn't then we have each other here on BnB. Finding you gals has really helped me these last few weeks which have been the roughest. I've been good. This Provera is evil, but hopefully it chills out. Not looking fwd to a 2 week long period, nor is bf lol. How are you? Time to plan the BD'ing?? You're close right?

TeddyBearPug - It definitely helps thinking of it that way doesn't it? Helps me realize that "now" isn't a feasible solution so I need to focus on the long term goal. We all want healthy pregnancies and babies. =) I know I definitely can't make it thru another m/c.

 

[Lily7]

Hey girls, hope everyone is okay! I finished my course of provera yesterday and have a really strong feeling I am going to wake up to af in the morning! Woohoo! Fx to us all, I hope there will be many bfp's coming to this thread very soon! X

 

[Justwantababy]

Good luck lily! What days are u on for clomid again? I keep forgetting! It's so exciting starting. Hope AF shows so u don't have to wait long.

Have u had any side affects? My skin went so spotty it was horrible. Hopefully.worth it tho!

Night ladies, sweet dreams to u all xx

 

[prettynpink29]

Hello Ladies!!! I been trying to stay busy today and not think so much about TTC! But every where I went I saw pregnant ladies and babys!!! Man it is hard to try and relax!!
I posted a thread on the board, but then thought... I should have just posted it here This morning I got a call from my doctors office from a nurse who told me my endometrium biopsy (sp) was "funky"... I was furious to be called funky!! Anyways, when my doctor called back he explained everything to me and it turns out they can tell from my uterus lining that I have a hormone imbalance Well that makes since for all the bleeding and not ovulating.. He said clomid should do the trick and maybe progesterone suppositories I am more anxious and excited then ever now!

I just felt like sending everyone some Praying BFPs for all of us!!!!!!!!

Hey! Thank you I will be days 2-6 on 50 mg, this will be my first time on clomid, I am in a happy medium ATM I don't want to get too hopeful about it all, trying to not expect too much then if I get lucky I will be pleasantly surprised and also if I don't get the result I want then i won't get as Down as I would If I had high expectations, even though a bfn would kill me either way. (hope that all makes sence!)

so you are waiting to ovulate aren't you? Will you be doing opk's?
