I'm alright I guess, just a bit mopey these days. I'll be alright though.
Clomid has done a couple of weird things, my spots are really bad, been having hot flushes but more excitingly I've been having ovulation type symptoms over the past couple of days so here's to hoping something good happens.
The tablet itself when taken just tricks the brain into producing more oestrogen at the start of the cycle which then in turn stimulates the follicle stimulating hormone and the growth of mature eggs hence earlier ovulation. It's a bit like Soy or Vitex, works for some, doesn't work for others...but it's more concentrated from what I gather.
I'm cd18, once again it's just flown by. Wow you sure have done a lot of bding lately, don't know about you but if I could offer my crotch to medical science into figuring out why it takes some women longer at TTC than others I so would.
oo so you could be due any day now, try and do something to completely forget about TTC (an impossible thing though right) over the next few days, something different to the norm perhaps?
your symptoms sound promising but like you said it's the same old thing every month so it's hard to definately know what means BFP and what means trouble is on the way.
One of things I'm doing with myself lately is putting all my TTC, techie and charting knowledge into helping others on the forum, it's quite theraputic and helps with dealing with LTTC, it's been over a year now.
I know I get frustrated with never having a BFP but I bet it's even more frustrating to be in your situation where you have had it but can't get it back again. Hope you get it back this cycle, you looked very much the mother with little Ellie in your arms on the FB pics.
Have you tried sex at different times of the day perhaps? one thing I've said to James is that this time I want it midnightly and very early morning just on the off chance my egg doesn't last that long and I ovulate in the dead of the night.
Yeah the heartache is the worst part, I hate to admit it and I hope I don't offend you in anyway but I find it completely crushing when there's a bfp announcement. When I first started trying I think it was a jealous thing but now it's nothing like that at all...with every one it just reminds me that I'm not pregnant and it hurts more than anything.
Works going alright, quite busy actually. hate to admit it but once we've bought a house I'll be looking for a new job, this one is a bit too techie for me and I have no passion for it. The team are ace though, that will be the hardest part in leaving I think! I got an email from BBC North the other day about vacancies, they said they'll be in touch when something comes up - so at least it's not a no or "never will happen" type response.
Have you been spending a lot of time with your niece recently? Yes the photos are lovely, she looks so delicate and fragile I bet she'll be spoilt rotten on her first christmas!
James is good, he's had a bad migraine today so he finished early and I've been nursing him as best as possible. my OPK's are getting darker so Clomid looks like it's the magic ingredient for me. Hope I've not spoken too soon.
How's your job going, have you been hunting for a new one? you should offer to become a nanny for your niece, paid work of course but it would mean spending even more time with her. It's such a lovely name too.
Not long til Florida holiday, 68 days and counting. The insurance needs to be sorted out but I'm a bit dubious and getting it just yet just incase I'm pregnant while travelling and it'll effect the policy. I want to wait nearer the time
even though I didn't get a BFP I was sort of pleased that I had an August period straight after July (it was still 50+ days though). Not much else has happened with me, thankfully my dad is going to pay for the damage done to the car so thats a weight off the shoulders.
How's Joe getting on with driving and his job and in general?
Nice to hear from you and congrats once again to your BIL and SIL
