View Full Version : TTC with Clomid..... September thread

Hi all :wave:
A few of us are taking, or about to start taking Clomid this month to help us TTC.
So TJ and I thought it would be a good idea to start this thread.................
So if you are TTC with Clomid please feel free to share your journey with us!
Well, I'll start things off.
I went for a BT this morning to see how my levels were so that I could start on Clomid tomorrow.
A nurse from the Fertility Centre ended up calling me in relation to my BT this morning. They said that my estrogen levels are still high for it to be my "real period" so they don't want me starting Clomid tomorrow. The nurse I spoke to asked a few times if I was sure I was due for my period? They want me to wait till Thursday and do another BT to see how my levels are. She said there may be a cyst causing the bleeding but I told her that I had had a m/c over 3 months ago and she said that that might be why my hormones are still out of whack?? She told me not to worry and that its just a little hiccup, nothing to be too concerned about. She said if my levels havn't sorted themselves out by Thursday they will do an U/S to see if there is any cysts lurking around. She said if there isn't then they will get me to start Clomid. They just don't want to risk me taking it when I could still possibly be coming up to O?? I thought that it was normal to have elevated Estrogen levels if you have PCOS? I told her I am due for my period...but oh well, I'll have to wait till Thursday. I'm so glad I decided to go to the FS again, at least this way I know exactly what is going on with me.
So now I have to wait till Thursday........I have a feeling this TTC business is going to take some time!
Please let my levels be within a normal range on Thursday :fingerscrossed:
I've decided to write in the aqua blue for luck this month!!!
Ive just got AF today so my 1st round of Clomid wasnt successful :thumbsdown:
BUT there is always next cycle and I would have been pretty lucky to have conceived on the first cycle anyway so Im feeling positive about the second try...
You can read my TTC Story in the diary section (link in my signature)
Im due to start taking my next round of Clomid in 4 days (day 5 of bleeding)
:fingerscrossed: FOR EVERYONE THIS CYCLE :fingerscrossed:
:hugs:
whoo hooo, im here to join you all as well!!
So sorry Nicole :hugs: least you know its working, how long did it take you to O after you started taking it??
I stated today on CD5, soo you will only be a few days behind me this cycle!
I already have the worst cotton mouth, its soo dry, it might be completly unrelated, but still its really weird!!
well hope we all are sucessful and fall preg together very soon!!
good luck girls :fingerscrossed:
i just want to say good luck too :fingerscrossed:

Thanks Nuddle and Belinda for the well wishes.
Nicole...sorry AF reared her ugly head!! :fingerscrossed: for this cycle...I have a good feeling about you! :yes: I conceived DD on second cycle of clomid! I noticed that you are still charting....is it worth it? I've only got a few days left of my VIP FF membership and not sure if I should bother temping anymore as we will be told when to "BD"?
TJ... thats a weird symptom, if it is one. Does it say on the leaflet if having a "dry mouth" is a side effect?
nope nothing on the leaflet about it, i think im imagining it. Maybe its my way of trying to tell my self its working.. :laughing: :o
You can still chart and not have the VIP bit, maybe at least keep that up, im planning on it - but then again i still have 60+ days left i think.
Also i got it at a bargain price, i only paid $16.50 for it, and on the packet it said $42.95 so not sure whats going on there, i dont have a health care card or anything??
The pharmists liked my shoes, so maybe thats it?? ;)
im here too! well i have my FS appointment on thursday for clomid, so will hopefully be able to start asap (if AF ever turns up, otherwise i will have to go on the pill for 2 weeks!)
good luck everyone!!! hopefully we all get BFP's soon!!
cmd'smum
04-09-2006, 19:29
Haha TJ..... it MUST have been the shoes!!! I think $42.95 is the rrp price and what you paid is the subsidised price? Anyhow, who cares, thats cheap!!
Braydsmum......... :fingerscrossed: you can start Clomid ASAP. I've got my second BT on Thursday to see where my levels are at and :fingerscrossed: I can start Friday at the latest. It would be SO cool if we started on exactly the same day! :D
Woohoooo...even though I havn't started Clomid yet...i'm excited knowing that the FC will be calling me soon saying "Ok....you need to get together with your partner tonight you're about to O!!" :D

I'm having an u/s tomorrow to see when/if I can go on clomid, been trying for 6 months so far with no luck.:crying:
Maybe we're doing it wrong... it's supposed to go in the earhole when BDing isn't it?:laughing:
ahhh i know the feeling of having no luck after ages of trying... da was concieved after 18months, naturally... this time we desided not to wait as long, its not been 8months and nothing i think in that time iv o'd once, maybe twice? frustrating...
cmd'smum i cant wait to be told when to BD :laughing: at least it will be worth it!!
my FANTASTIC news for tonight is that AF FINALLY showed up (on CD 61.. i never thought i would look sooo foward to AF!!! this was exactly what FS was hoping for that i would have it a few days before my appointment! YAY!!! rollll on thursday!
cmd'smum
04-09-2006, 23:16
YAYYY Brayd'smum :smiliedance: :yelclap: I can't beleive you are sooo happpy AF has shown up!!! Usually you'd be :crying: hahahaha.............. funny how things are
I can't wait till Thursday either, I just want them to tell me my levels are ok and I can start Clomid! I don't understand how my bloods show that my oestragen levels are elevated??? How can I have AF then?? So weird..... I just want to get past this hicup and get on with it!!! To top things off we have to go to Sydney (thats where I'm from so I don't mind as i'll see my family and friends) on the 21st of this month for my DH's work. We come back october 7. So don't know what we're going to do with treatment and being over there! I really hope that it falls into my TWW!
:fingerscrossed: diva-n-dan hope you get some answers today!!
braydsmum & cmd'smum - you're both going on Thursday, should be a good sign.
And then we can ALL be loopy on clomid together!
Nicole when do you start your 2nd round? Today being CD2? Or are you starting on CD5??
Talking of side effects - not sure if this is one or not, but i had the most achy legs last night, the same as when you're little and they kill (like growing pains) and man i couldnt get to sleep, i ended up having to take strong pain killers to knock me out.
And now this morning im left with a dull head ache, might not be related in anyway, or maybe more so from having a forced/fake sleep???
Who knows, lets see what today brings!:)
YAYYY Brayd'smum :smiliedance: :yelclap: I can't beleive you are sooo happpy AF has shown up!!! Usually you'd be :crying: hahahaha.............. funny how things are
Tell me about it!! iv never been so happy to get it!!! LOL finally my body has listened! i wont have to do the 2 weeks on the pill and ill be able to start clomid thursday (hopefully!)
TJ - lets hope the side effects are worth it!!
Its great we are all starting on clomid within the same week! :D

:wave: HI CMDS'MUM, TJ,DIVA-N-DAN GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL WITH CLOMID.
THANKS FOR STARTING THE THREAD CMD & TJ.
NICOLE:hugs: I'M SO SORRY SWEETIE, BUT DON'T YOU GIVE UP HOPE, WE ARE ALL HERE TO GET YOU THROUGH THIS.
AS FOR ME, VERY VERY NERVOUS, AF DUE TOMORROW AFTER FIRST ROUND OF CLOMID THIS MONTH. DAY 5-9. WITH NO SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL, ACTUALLY DH COMMENTED HOW HAPPIER I SEEMED TO BE, HOPEFULLY THE POSITIVE THOUGHTS WE HAD AT THAT TIME WILL PAY OFF.
LOTS OF BABY DUST TO YOU GIRLS AND ROLL ON TOMORROW:fingerscrossed:
Hello everyone I thought I would join you all im on CD 15 today :smiliedance: :smiliedance: so 1 dpo and have my fingers tightly crossed that I will get a BFP and that it will stick. I took clomid from day 2 - 6 and last time fell pregnant straight away I should be testing on the 18th thats 14dpo but last time I got a BFP on 9dpo so I guess I will just have to see how long I can hold out for. Next month is 2 years of TTC for DP and I so I would love to fall this month.
TJ how fantastic is it to have some answers and to know that you are doing something to achieve your pregnancy. I didnt get too many symptoms while on clomid either time and I know the first time it definatly worked maybe only the fact that I was extra extra cranky that week.
Braydsmum & cmd'smum I so hope that you can both start clomid strait away.
Good luck everyone and bring on the clomid babies :yelclap: :yelclap:

Hi Krystal, wishing you all the best for this month:hugs:
Krystal.. best of luck, i have my :fingerscrossed: for you!!
Thanks guys!
I am starting Clomid on CD 5, am on CD 2 today. Last time I O'd around 7-10 days after taking the last Clomid Tablet (I took it for 5 days but didnt have a cycle so I cant count a 'CD' day as technically it was about CD200 or something! lol
I still cant work out when I O'd. FS said the Friday, I thought the Sat early (had real EW CM) but FF said Monday because of temps... funny that AF came 14 days after the Monday however my Progesterone was up on the Friday and a bit more on the Monday, if it only rises after ovulation there is no way it was the Monday then... Perhaps it was the Friday and I had a 17 day lutel phase?
Good luck everyone... lets hope we have lots of BFPs out of this thread! :hugs:

I'm not on clomid, but I just wanted to wish you ladies all the best for this month - Sept has had a great start so far, and I just hope and pray that the BFP's keep on rolling in!
Doula - I reallly hope its good luck for us too! cmd'smum is starting clomid on thursday too (i think) so thats 3 of us on one day... gotta bring some sort of luck!
PinkLady - Thanks :)
Well Thurs seems to be the day for allot of ladies Doula I hope you get the answers that you are looking for and that your FS puts you strait on clomid.
Do you think 1 dpo is too early to get symptoms cause I have had a sore throat a sore head and a sore lower back all day I think I might just go back to bed. I know its way too early to be getting symptoms so it must just be the flu or something.
cmd'smum
05-09-2006, 12:53
Morning all, what a :ecomcity: bunch we are!!!
Doula, so glad you are seeing your FS on Thursday :fingerscrossed: you get some answers!
Yes, thats three of use who will be starting Clomid on Thursday :fingerscrossed: I hope my levels are ok, as I have a feeling they will make me take the pill for two weeks to get my levels sorted out! I know, I'm SO impatient......... Hurry Thursday, hurry! Do any of you know what they would do if you have a cyst? Not many cysts, but just one? Would they leave it or what? Anyone had any experience with this?
Can'twait and Pink Lady thanks for the best wishes!
TJ...... nope does'nt sound like Clomid symptoms to me???
Lissylou................... oooww wwwww how exciting :fingerscrossed: for testing...please let us know ASAP!!!
Krystal...yea sweety, 1 DPO is too early for symptoms!!! (so they say)
well........... I can't wait for this thread's very first Clomid BFP!!!:
Should I do a testing calendar? Silly me........didn't even think to do one!!!
CMD I don't know if this is relevant to you with the Clomid and stuff, but I had a cyst, just one, and they just left it. That was about 18 months ago. Anyway good luck! :fingerscrossed:
luckymama
05-09-2006, 13:09
i dont have any cysts, but i have abnormal hormones, that suggest PCOS :thumbsdown:
luckymama
05-09-2006, 13:15
well not on my ovaries tho, only have one on cervix, but that just appeared a few days ago, the dr did a smear just in case, but she didnt seem too worried by it
i have heaps of cysts and they are just leaving mine.....
testing calander is a good idea... i dont know what day it will be yet though... im hoping to hold out til the end of oct.... but i highly doubt i will be able to if i dont have af by then lol... i wanted to test on 25th oct cos its ds's 1st birthday but just thinking about it i wont cos if i get a BFN it would be sooo bad to get on his b'day.....

Hello
Sorry to ask this but what is POCS and is it expansive for all your tests and can you suggets these to your doctor
whitsundaysmumma
05-09-2006, 16:27
Thanks CMD'S Mum, will be testing tomorrow, certainly will post as soon as those 2 blue lines show up:thumbsup:
oh lissy and Krystal - hope your BFP is only just around the corner!!
Shorty - with my PCOS i went to a FS (fertility Specialist) and he did an internal u/s which showed the cysts on both of my ovaries, you can also get blood tests done, your GP should be able to get these done for you!
Hope you get it sorted one way or another!!
Hi girls,
You probably don't want to turn this into a thread about Clomid success stories.
But I couldn't resist telling you we have a clomid baby on the way. Although not on the clomid - after it!
After 7 months of TTC after my ectopic we took clomid for 4 cycles. No luck on the Clomid but my first cycle after it, we got our BFP! My Dr called this the "honeymoon effect".
I'll pass on the clomid baby dust now that we are finished with it.
:fingerscrossed: for you all.
Tammy
oh CONGRATULATIONS!!
I dont mind hearing about any sucess stories, the more the merrier actually.
Least there is still hope out there for us if the clomid doesnt work....
Hope the rest of your pregnancy is trouble free!!

Can'twait.... no I have many small cysts on my ovaries...and they can't/won't try to get rid of them. The nurse I spoke re my BT, suggested I may have A cyst as my bloods show my Oestrogen levels are elevated, thus not supposed to have AF...I think :confused: anyway, I'll wait till Thursday and see how it goes!
Braydsmum....I just got a feeling that we will be getting a BFP very very close together :detective:
Tammy...we love success stories! My 17 mth old DD was conceived on my second round of Clomid! Thanks for the baby dust!
Lissy....how exciting!! I'm so nervous for you!
Shorty.....if you go to this website, you'll find a thorough explanation of what PCOS is. Its a weird syndrome........ my Gynob said that they still don't fully understand it and why/how it happens!
Princ- Are you seeing a FS soon?
Doula.....I have my :fingerscrossed: for you on Thursday sweety...you so deserve a BFP NOW!!!!

hey chicky - put me down for the 30th please!!
Not sure if/when ill O, but that should be ok by then.
My temps went up yesterday and again today, is this normal when taking clomid?
Nights seem to be pretty bad for me, last night as soon as i turned off the PC and got into bed within 3 minutes i had a punding migraine, nearly enough that i was going to vomit, the TV lights were too bright, so i had to turn it off and put on a sleeping mask. And still have dull hedache now.
Please please please let me sleep properly tonight.:sleeping:
luckymama
06-09-2006, 07:06
Thanks CMDsmum, you also deserve a BFP now :fingerscrossed:
Hey Tara, babe i hope you managed to get a good sleep last night and you are feeling ok today :hugs:
YAY only one sleep till i see the dr, WOHHOOO, i was thinking about it, and maybe ill actually get metformin possibly cos of my weird hormones, it also helps you to lose weight, its so weird, i have been going over in my mind what the FS might do, its driving me mad lol, i should just relax and wait and see :laughing: yeah right
Braydsmum....I just got a feeling that we will be getting a BFP very very close together :detective:
:fingerscrossed: Sounds like a plan! would be wicked if we could have clomid babies around the same time! let hope theres heaps of us around the same time....
anyway.... Doula, im excited too, 1 day left! iv got such a busy day tomorrow. my baby has a hospital appointment in the city in the morning, then iv gotta head straight to the other hospital for my appointment (50 odd mins apart, by car) and im catching the train/bus to both... so its gonna take agessss!
luckymama
06-09-2006, 07:24
aw sucky that you have to travel such a long way, but it will be soo worth it :D
I have to try to keep busy today and tommorow morning, so the time will go quickly. Its only about a 30 min drive for me, but i reakon ill leave at least an hour early, even tho ill have to wait ages when i get there, i just am to scared to be a second late in case they make me come back for another appointment :laughing: :o
I will be testing around the 3rd October which should be AF time so I will wait until the next TTC with Clomid for October thread!... (Ahh, who am I kidding, I will sooooooooo start testing before then! :laughing: )
:fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed:
TJ I hope you get a good nights sleep I have herd that the symptoms of clomid can vary greatly from one person to the next but just think the end result will be so so worth it.
cmd I will be testing on the 14th I know I should wait till the 18th as that will be 14dpo but I got a positive at 9 dpo last time :fingerscrossed: If I concieve it will be positive just as soon again.
nicoleE I am so like you when it comes to testing I dont even try to tell myself I will be strong anymore because I just know that I will cave no matter what so I just resign myself to the fact that I will test at least 5 days before I shoulld.
Tammy I love hearing about other peoples success stories bring them all on I say I hope you have a fantastic and healthy pregnancy.
OK this TWW is driving me insane its going so so slowly I dont know what I can do to make the time go quicker I have tried shopping (I just end up in the baby section), reading a book (end up reading what to expect when your expecting), searching the internet (I just end up on here), working out or family budget (I end up working out what my due date would be) do you get the impression that im going slightly mad.
I think I might go do some cooking im pretty sure I cant turn that into anything baby related.
Talk soon
I think I might go do some cooking im pretty sure I cant turn that into anything baby related.
HAHA you might end up making baby's dummy shaped cup cakes!! lol thanks for the laugh Krystal.... i was exactly the same before i got preg with DS... i havent hit that stage this time... yet anyway....

TJ..... headaches are common when on Clomid......... I don't remember having any, but that might change this time round!
:fingerscrossed: the Clomid pushes that little eggie out!!!As to temps, not too sure as I didn't monitor mine whilst on Clomid and I've stopped temping as of yesterday, bugger it! Thats one thing I don't need to worry about!!
Braydsmum...Doula is right, it'll be worth it! I can't wait to get on the pc tomorrow and find out how you and Doula go with the appts! How exciting!

Good luck to all the chickies who have appointments today, Doula & braydsmum (im sure there was someone else but i cant remeber??:o )
Cant wait to hear all about them!
Lissy, hope AF stays away for you, and you can be our 1st BFP for SEPTEMBER CLOMID!!!:fingerscrossed: :smiliedance:
Just a Qn girls...
When they say to start Clomid on X day of bleeding (CD) does it matter if your bleeding has stopped by then?
I am supposed to start on CD5 but AF looks to have only been 3 days long and quite light.. is this normal on Clomid? I would have thought that it would be heavy? All my BTs seemed to indicate that my hormones were doing what they ought to and my Progesterone level was high... :confused:
My first Clomid cycle was started without inducing AF as I didnt have a cycle and my hormones were low.
I would have thought that AF would be heavier than when I was on the pill, when I was on that they lasted about 4-5 days with about 2 medium days but the rest light... now it has been 3 light days and it seems thats it!....
:confused:
**EDIT** - I have posted this as a new post so you dont have to answer here.
Hi ladies how is everyone im just popping on to wish everyone with appointments today good luck i hope you all get the answers that you are looking for and can be put on the right path to getting your precious little baby.
TJ I hope the symptoms ease off for you soon what dosage are you on each day ???????
Nicole I dont think it matters if AF has finished or not ive never had that problem i take clomid day 2 - 6 so i allways have AF I think clomid can make your periods heavier but ot varies from one person too the next. Sorry i cant be more help

Hi Ladies
I have PCOS, but had blood tests at the beginning of the year to confirm that I am ovulating, and my cycles are 32-35 days which is good compared to pre DS days(50+). We have been trying unsuccessfully for no. 2 for 6 cycles. I had to have one round of clomid to conceive DS. I'm going to my OB in 2 weeks, but was just wondering if I am ovulating which I am pretty sure I am - whether clomid is still prescribed? I am starting to get quite down about things not happening....as everyone I know seems to be pregnant!?
Hi Superbaby.
A FS may do further tests, particularly on your homones post O time to check if everything is doing what it should, it is one thing to O but another to have the right levels of hormones to be able for any fertilised egg to implant and to be able to sustain a pregnancy.
Im not sure if they would prescribe Clomid if you are indeed ovulating, I doubt it, they dont seem to want to overdo it and make you produce more than 1 folicle at a time which Clomid will make you do if you are already Oing by yourself.

Hello girlies,
Well I got a call from the fertility centre and they said my levels were OK today and they would like me to go in tomorrow morning to have an internal scan (yuck) and another blood test to double confirm before i start Clomid. So :fingerscrossed: my scan and BT tomorrow will come back all clear and I can finally start Clomid!! I feel so :banghead: at the moment....... I know I'm only on CD5 but I've been waiting since my last cycle for AF (assuming I wasn't getting a BFP) and it just feels like foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrr............
Ah well, at least I know that the FC is not "dodgy" and are doing a very thorough and accurate job!!:detective:
Doula and B'Mum..........how did you two go with your appointments today?
TJ.... How is your headache? All gone?
just wanted to say good luck to all u ttc on clomid ladies (and there respective partners) :fingerscrossed:
i had to use clomid in order to fall pregnant myself. dont worry to much if u fail to concieve the first few cycles in all 3 of my pregnancies (m/c the first) i actually fell pregnant in the month break i had to take. (after a few unsuccessful cycles u hav to take a break to allow hormone levels to come bak down) i just bd'd around my o date just as i would have done on my clomid cycles.

feeling a bit sad here.... :crying: i went to my appointment and the dr basically laughed at me.. she told me there is no way she was going to start me on clomid because i o'd on my own in january (havent since!) she told me that they wont even look at me til we have been trying for 12 months (taken from 3 months after PPAF....) so they wont see us at all til april!!! my GP said they would put me on clomid straight away.... grrrr i might go private i think, this system sucks!
Doula, i hope your appointment went better than mine!
Good luck everyone else.... hope you all get BFPs soon! im gonna keep checking this thread though... :)
Mel - so go to another doctor!!
Thats horrible!! I would go get a 2nd opinion. If you have to tell a little white lie about how long you have been trying so what??? Cant hurt can it??
YAY CMD - hope all goes well for you tomorrow.
internal u/s is quite yucko, no where near as bad as a pap smear tho i dont reckon!!
Krystal - Im onnly on 50mg per day for this cycle
Nicole - i started clomid on day 5 this cycle and i stopped bleeding on day 3- with some spotting on day 4, so it must be ok. AS the FS did an internal u/s on that day so he obviously knew i wasnt bleeding
BUT GUESS WHAT?? I feel ok today:smiliedance:
Dull headache, but the panadine kept that under control and now im feeling pretty good actaully!!
allthough i have noticed i have a fair bit of creamy CM..... YUCK:barf:
Doula???? Any news on your appt today??
I just want to wish all you girlies goodluck with ttc !! Sending you all baby dust !!!!

B'Mum...I'm with TJ.... go see another DR!!! And lie if you have to! What a silly Dr, you have PCOS, its silly to make you wait till next April! :shame: If you see a private gyno, he or she will almost def put you on Clomid :yes:
TJ.....so good to hear you are feeling better! :smiliedance: wooohooooo
Kayte, thanks for your well wishes!
Girls, I really really hope they let me start clomid 2morrow!!!!!!!!!!:fingerscrossed:
Good luck with your results today CMD:fingerscrossed:
thanks guys... i cant see another dr unless i go private, cos it was at the hospital (redlands) i might just go private i think.... TJ i see you are in bris too... who did you go to? i cant really lie about it either cos bub is only 10months...

Well, I had my scan this morning! Everything looked great, no big cysts anywhere! I also had another BT. The nsurse that took my blood said they might give me a trigger then I said, but, I'm sposed to be starting Clomid...she said "Its too late in your cycle for that" then I said, but thats been the whole purpose as to why I've been having regular bloods, to see how my levels are and the nurses I spoke to previously said I could start Clomid late and it didn't matter?" Anyway she went and chatted to other nurses and came back and said that if my bloods arn't in the right range today then i'll have to skip this cycle! I'm so ****ty at them right now....I thought they knew what they were doing!????? They have their stories mixed up! Just give me the Clomid!!!!!
Anyway, so now I'm waiting for them to call and say "Sorry but we'll wait till you get your next AF!" I'm so P****D off today! I just want to throw in the towel and forget about TTC
TJ.... how you feeling???
Has anyone heard from Doula?
I have not seen Doula around either on here or on MSN and I PMd her this morning...
cmd'smum if your hormone levels are not low then its useless giving you Clomid. They need you to have either just had (or having) a period or have a non existant cycle, in either case your hormones are low and you can then start Clomid.
Hang in there, it will happen... my cycle lasted about 179 days before I started clomid and ovulated on day 164! They started me on Clomid straight away when I had my initial blood results back because my hormones were low and not doing anything (which wasnt a surprise!).
If you are not happy with the staff there I would be switching to another FS if you can... Where I go (Repromed in Adelaide) nurses and doctors alike are very knowledgable and are all very clear and friendly. This is a hard enough process to go through as it is we dont need staff making it worse by not knowing what they are talking about!
:hugs:
awww honey... frustrating ahy!! :hugs: i was sooo really to throw it all in yesterday too... it was just like the stupid dr wouldnt listen too me...! iv been enquiring about going private this morning, how much its gonna cost etc... we dont want our bubs to have a huge age gap.... why cant the stupid dr understand that?! grr
i feel for ya cmdsmum!! :hugs:
Doula... dying to know how your appointment went!!!
braydsmum - I just went to my normal GP - just at the normal medical centre up the road, he then referred me to a FS which is at the Brisbane Private Hospital. His name is Glen Stirling and he was soo great.
But maybe just go to a different GP and see if they can help if not they will have to send you straight to a FS.
My GP didnt really care all that much about HOW LONG i had been trying but was more concerned that my cycles were soo irregular.
So maybe use that more so as the point, and say you want something to sort your cycles out so that you can start seriously trying.
I had heard from Doula last night, she is ok. But ill let her tell the story when shes back on line.
I feel ok today - still a bit heahachy tho, so keeping up the panadine. Cant wait for a sleep in tomorrow!!
thanks TJ i think ill do that... redlands suck! :thumbsdown: what are the prices like at the bris private?? and what are the waiting times like? sorry about all the q's!!
cmd'smum
08-09-2006, 14:35
Thanks Nicole...you know...you have explained why they can't put me on Clomid much better than the FS!! They used to be good when I had treatment there when TTC DD, but there's alot of new faces there. It just bugs me that the nurse I had today hadn't even read my notes, she just assumed I was getting a trigger?!?! :rolleyes: I feel like I have to manage my own treatment! You're right, i'll see what they say today and if its no Clomid I might get them to track my cycle to see what my body does on its own! Do you think thats a good idea? Also, is it a good sign that me levels arn't that low? As in, my body is showing signs that I may be Oing on my own? My charts certainly indicate I am and I did conceive naturally on my own a few months ago, but the BT I had a couple of months ago was inconclusive as to whether I had O! Anyway, sorry for :ecomcity: . If they mess around with me next cycle, I'm going back to my Gynob and asking him to refer me to another FS!! You're right, we don't need to be worrying about these things when TTC with PCOS!
B'smum...TJ is so right, the Drs should take into account you have PCOS and havn't Od in ages, not how long you've been trying! SO frustrating. Going private sounds good! Good luck finding a good Dr! You know, thats what is my concern, I don't want a huge gap between my children. My DD is 17 months. We have made the decision that I be a SAHM until they are at least 3 years old and then maybe consider going back to work. Don't get me wrong, I love being a mum, but I really don't wanna be sitting home for 10 years BF and changing nappies...IYKWIM!!
TJ.... is this your last Clomid tablet? ooowwww :fingerscrossed: this time next week you will be BD like mad! haha
thanks TJ i think ill do that... redlands suck! :thumbsdown: what are the prices like at the bris private?? and what are the waiting times like? sorry about all the q's!!
Hey, i went to my GP on the Thursday, called the FS on the Friday, and they had a cancellation for the monday, so i got in pretty much straight away.
Not sure what the normal waiting times are like.
They told me on the phone that the first appt would be $120 plus an extra $65 if he did an internal u/s. I didnt get charged on my first visit they said they would bill me for the whole lot at the end of the cycle, so im not really sure how much it will be at the end.
Im not sure how much my next appt on wednesday will be??
Im thinking ill probably end up $300 out of pocket by the time AF comes, or :fingerscrossed: she doesnt and ill end up pregnant instead!
However you GP might just be able to do some blood tests to tell you if you are O'ing, thats what my GP offered to me, but i chose to go straight to the FS, i was too impatient to hold out any longer
good luck either way!!
CMD hope you get some good news either way very soon!!
:smiliedance: YEP last tablet today!!! YAY!!
So off for another appt on wednesday for another internal u/s and then yep will BD like crazy, might start early anyway just in case.
My opk's arrived at work today.... hahaha:laughing:
it is a good sign your hormone levels were not low, i guess it does mean your body is at least atempting to work properly! Perhaps the levels just have not been quite high enough for a folicle to mature and release the egg...?
:fingerscrossed:

08-09-2006, 15:06
TJ...you are SO going to be pg very soon :yes: same as you nicole :yes: have god feelings about you both...I recon within the next cple of months!:fingerscrossed:
Yep Nic, it makes sense that my body is trying to work properly as my charts clearly indicate O. Plus i have conceived naturally so it's not impossible! AF is just packing her bags and should be gone by tomorrow. So we'll see how this cycle goes!
Do you have any idea what else they can do if no Clomid?? I really wish they explained things thoroughly! I get the feeling they don't like going into too much detail in relation to BT results and why this and that is or isn't happening. Don't get it! :confused:
my nurses dont go into detail when they take the bloods, but i ask them what they are looking for this time so when they ring me with the results that afternoon i will know if they are good or not. After O they dont normally ring to tell you your progesterone levels but I asked them to, they were happy to. I like to know what is going on!
:fingerscrossed: for us all this month! :smiliedance: :thumbsup:
cmd how fustrating about your doctors my doctors ara a bit vague with me aswell when it comes to bloods and stuff I hope things get sorted out for you soon you never know you might just o on your own this month and supprise yourself.
TJ glad your doing ok now and now all you have to do is get b'ding too much is never enough I say :D
B'smum what a horrible doctor they just dont get it do they!!!!!! I would look into a private fs mine ost $180.00 for the initial appointment then $100.00 after that although not all of my bloods were bulk billed and geeze they cost a fortune about $700.00 all up for DP and I but that wasat least 15 diffrent tests you prob wouldnt need that many.
Dould I hope things are ok im thinking about you
Well im 4 dpo and having mixed feelings about how this month is going to go im kinda just expecting it to happen because it did last time but I know its not that simple its driving me crazy

Well I went awol, I have just arrived home from hospital after 3 days- not for BABY reasons, I had a UTI that went to my kidneys and AF arrived whilst I was there. I'm feeling ok about it, only 3 more days until I start the 2nd round. Too tired and sore to respond to all but my thoughts are with you:wave:
Ok beware im about to have a big vent!!!!!!!
Ok I was doing a search on the net and having a read over another forum and i found posts that have been made by my sil and they were horrible and they were about me she has written stuff about when I had my misscarriage saying that I was acting like the only person in the world to have ever had one and that it was a mistake and thats why we didnt tell anyone just both sets of parents her and my grandparents knew. Im absolutly dumbfounded I dont understand why she would write that stuff. It gets worse we are house sitting her house at the moment and I was looking around on her computer using her emails which she said was fine to do and I find conversations between her and one of her friends talking about me and the baby saying that I was stressing her out the way I was acting and that we didnt tell her that we were pregnant her mum had too which is complete c#*p we rang and told her personally and what right does she have discussing it with other people when we specifficaly made the decision and made it very clear to everyone that we didnt want anyone else to know.
Im just seeing a completly diffrent side to her i didnt realise people could be that nasty behind your back but totally nice to your face its disgusting I tell you what she has just dropped almost all of my respect.
she didnt say a word to me when matt told her I had a misscarriage and we were living in sydney like 3 hours away from her so I dont understand how I was stressing her out I just dont get it.
I dont know if I should confront her about it or just be the bigger person and let it slide I think I should be focusing my attention on TTC not on her childish behaviour.
Ok Rant Over
Thanks for listening
Krystal
xoxoxoxo
TJ: thanks... its no where near as bad as i thought it would be! (prices wise or wait wise!) i think i will look into it, do u need a dr referal to go private?
my dr has done bloods that show that i havent been o'ing - although i did once back in may... on vitex, but vitex isnt working now...
CMD'SMUM: aghh i know.. if i could get preg when i wanted we would have about an 18mth gap between babys... we havent used any contraception since bub was born cos we knew there was i high chance of probs... but i didnt get PPAF til he was 3mths, so didnt realllly start trying til then.. sooo frustrating...! i dont care if i O on my own once every year or 2.... i want to be preg NOW!! stupid stupid drs!!

Lizzy!!!!!! ooooooohhhh how horrible, hope you're feeling much much better hun :hugs: :hugs:
Well, the fertility centre called and they said that the y spoke to the Fertility Dr and he wants me on the pill for 6 weeks! The nurse who called me said that there were lots of little cysts on my ovaries and they need a "clean state" in order to begin treatment. So the pill will get rid of the cysts and bring my levels down to basically zero, then first day I bleed I call them, have bloods done then :fingerscrossed: start my first treatment. The nurse said that if they were to treat me now, the cysts would grow and it would be disastrous!
So, I will still hang around, but will be TTC in the "November" thread!
I really hope the 6 weeks fly by!!!! :fingerscrossed:

08-09-2006, 18:00
Krystal, so sorry you discovered that about you SIL.
Sounds like she has some issues. You're right, you don't need that stress whilst TTC. Maybe tell her how hurt you are and then leave it up to her ........ you don't need people stabbing you in the back, especially family!! :shame:
:hugs:
Oh CMD :hugs: that is such frustrating news!!! But i suppose it does make sense and they do only want the best for you! It still sux either way!!!:hugs:
Lissy - hope you are doing ok!! Glad to see you are still around.
Krystal - WHAT A FRIGGEN COW!!! If it were me i would have to confront her about it, it would eat me up having to pretend that i never saw it.
Whatever you decide we're always here to listen:yes:
braydsmum - yep you do need a referral to go see a specialist, the one i go to is lovely, there are plenty of others around but make sure you ask for someone that speicialises is fertility and isn't just an evry day gyno!! Best of luck babe:fingerscrossed:
CMD - hoping your little 'feeling' or 'inking' is right! you will get 10000 hugs and kisses if you are spot on!
Hmm i think i better go have a chat to my fertility statue tonight!!

Thanks CMD, so sorry you have to go back on the pill but it will do its job and it will be all worth it. It just stinks, I so much wanted to be pregnant before X-Mas and there aren't too many months left ah, but my DH likens it to the Qld Origin win, never say never, thanks love!!!
Thanks TJ, so glad you've got some answers and a great specialist to boot!!
Since I took a second job I get so little time to post, busy is good, doens't give me too much time to feel sorry for myself, busy is my way of coping - well you never cope. But I'm always reading and following everyones progress.:hugs:
Krystal: i agree with tara, WHAT A COW!!!! id be soooo angry if someone did that too me.... but i dont think i would confront her... id just let it slide and not tell her anything else... my thoughts would be why bother playing along with her childish games by confronting her.... JMO... sorry i didnt reply to you in the last post i made i didnt even see it til this morning... ((((hugs))))
CMDSMUM: we could end up on clomid at the same time yet lol
TJ: thanks hun, i will go see my GP on monday and have a chat to her and see what she says.... i dont think she will have a problem refering me too a FS....
Lissy: ((((hugs)))) hope your feeling better....
anyway... Iv had 3 'abnormal' pap smears come back so the hospital are putting me in next week under a general to do a biopsy thingy... kinda freaking out about that... kinda guttered too, cos as unlikely as it is i will ovulate i like to BD around then 'just in case' i do ov.... and it falls right on that time frame... aghhh! lol

Lissy...don't worry too much, you still have 3 months to go before xmas!! You WILL be pg by then !!:yes: Yea, sux I have to go on the pill, but I don't mind, like they said, ther are lots of little cysts and they will grow if they don't get rid of them, and that's not good, don't wanna get pg when everything isn't the way its sposed to be! Plus 6 weeks will fly, it's only one cycle we are missing out on after all!! So, I consider that as a break! We are actually going to Sydney for a couple of weeks soon so that will help pass time!
Braydsmum :fingerscrossed: your biopsy results come back all clear and you see a specialist soon! Hopefully we will start Clomid together, but also hopefully you can start sooner!

ABSOLUTLY NO SIDE EFFECTS TODAY!!! :yelclap:
Its the most horrible thing - but cant wait til all of you are experienceing them as well!! :fingerscrossed:
Hi guys thanks heaps for your replies I have thought about it and I dont think I will say anything its not worth causing a family rift or anything like that plus dp and I are pretty private people and to bring it up would mean that I have to talk about it more and I dont want to I dont have enough energy to waste on it
So venting is offically over
TJ so so glad that all of your symptoms are gone hopefully in 3 weeks or so you will be getting a heap of pregnancy symptoms.
Lissy I think you will be pregnant before christmas its still 4 months so thats plenty of time.
Well DP started a new 2nd job in a bar today he left at 8 thismorning just got home and has to go back agian till 9 tonight so it looks as though ill be here on my own tonight so I might just pop on here and chat all night long.

thanks Krystal, you are right, with a lot of luck and a loads of baby dust I hope we all get pregnant together.:yes:
Well girls you know how I said that I didnt want to confront her it seems she has read everything I have written on here anyway so it dosnt matter.
Im upset that I wont be able to share my BFP with everyone as dp and I will be keeping it to ourselves for at least 12 weeks when we find out so maybe I can let you guys know through pm's or something like that.
I have re read what I said and it was a little harsh but I was so upset and angry but I stick by what I said she betrayed our trust and that hurt me and especially dp so so much for the last 18months bubhub has been my out the place where I can say what I feel and not have to be worried about being judged or watched but I understand that it is a public forum and that It was bound to happen one day. Anyway I know I have just made things so so awkwed betweed dp an I and the family as she went and told dp mum strait away I wish she had of just confronted dp and I about it but telling her mum was probably her way unwinding. I dont know im so so confused at the moment.
Anyway im off to bed hopefully I can get some sleep.
Sorry agian for the long me me me post you girls are fantastic your support means so so much to me.

(sorry just thinking outl oud! lol)
anyway, i dont know what is up with AF.. but shes stilllll here and still heavy! ... aghh go awayyyyyy! its been a week already... shes never stayed this long!! im sooo over it!
Krystal- Dont worry about venting on here, thats what we are all here for!
DEFINITLEY let us know by PM if you do get your BFP!!:yes:
Braydsmum - hope AF doesnt stay for tooo much longer so you can start Bd'ing again!
CMD - hows the pill going? have you started taking it yet?

Hi Lissylou how are you feeling its not long for you now until you get to start bding good luck honey.

Then :fingerscrossed: my levela will be all good and bring on the Clomid! I really hope i get a BFP in November, even December would be good!
Krystal...you better PM us when u get your BFP!!!:D I nkow its hard, but try not to let it get to you hun, the way I see it, if someone really loves and understands you, you will work it out, if not, well her loss!
Braydsmum...have you found a specialist yet?
Hi everyone,
Hope it is OK that I join you on this thread :wave: . Have 15 month old DS conceived naturally (first cycle!) but difficulties with TTC #2.
I have 2 more days of taking Provera to induce AF, then hopefully will be starting first cycle of Clomid in the next couple of weeks, so am a bit behind most of you. Has anyone else had to have hormone therapy to get AF prior to starting Clomid? The Provera has made me so moody and drowsy, so not looking forward to Clomid side effects either!
It is great to hear from other people who are going through the same thing because DH and I have not told anyone about TTC #2 - saves all of the questions about how things are going but reading your posts makes me feel that I am not alone:) !
Hope everyone has a great day :smiliedance: .
no, no specilist yet... i cant book into dr til i know when my surgary is.... as soon as i know i will book in... im going to ask what her opinion is and see what my options are then if im not happy with it i will ask for a referal 2 a private specilist....

11-09-2006, 15:09
Braydsmum, I have my :fingerscrossed: that everything sorts it self out for you hun! At tleast you know that if you see a private specialist he/she will alomst def put you on Clomid! We still will prob start taking Clomid together!:yelclap:
Moosmum....you're very welcome! you're not far behind really, some of us are "waiting" to start Clomid. I'm on the pill for 6 weeks, well just under now :rolleyes: I was sposed to have just finished my clomid pills and waiting to O now, however my bloods were always elevated and they did a scan and there were lots of cysts on my ovaries. So they didn't want to give me Clomid as that would overstimulate the immature follicles to grow and I would prob end up having tentuplets :eek: So the pill will bring all my levels down and "clean up" my ovaries. I will start Clomid CD2 of my first AF after the pill! I havn't personally had hormonal treatment before clomid. What is provera exactly? (sorry to ask) Do you have PCOS? I do, hence all the little cysts on my ovaries.
Well, hopefully this is your month and you won't have to join us in October!
Hi again,
cmd's mum - I have 'suspected' PCOS as I have always been irregular and have all of the symptoms, but an U/S didn't show any cysts, so goodness knows what is really going on. From what I can understand, Provera is a hormone that tricks your body into thinking that you are in the second half of your cycle, so you take it twice a day for 7 days, then 4 - 7 days later get a withdrawal bleed which is considered baseline AF. Just hope it works! Bummer about your having to take the pill for a while - kind of ironic that you have to take the pill in order to fall pregnant - things we do to avoid tentuplets huh!
I have a feeling I will still be here in October ... :rolleyes:
welcome to the nuthouse moosmum.
You can share the ups and downs of TTC with us.
Hope AF isnt too far away for you (god it feels stranging wishing AF upon you):hugs:
Welcome Moosmum I had to use provera about 18 months ago now to stop some very unwanted bleeding it made me get a fake AF which re regulated my whole cycle as I have no physical symptoms just a few cysts on my ovaries. Goodluck and :fingerscrossed: that you wont still be here in October.
cmd'smum
11-09-2006, 16:48
Moosmum..... You don't have to have cysts on your ovaries for you to have PCOS. Lots of women with pcos don't have cysts on their ovaries, some do (I'm one of the lucky ones that have cysts and pcos :banghead: ) PCOS is mainly diagnosed because of hormonal imbalances (which you prob already know) anyway, :fingerscrossed: things move along very quickly for you...I wonder why the Dr made me go on the pill then? Why could'nt they just have given me Provera? provera isn't a type of pill is it?:confused: I just hate to be waiting soooo long! hmmm, maybe provera won't get rid of my cysts and that was their main concern!
Oh the joys of PCOS :D

Hun, your AF is prob like that because its probably not a "proper" AF. This can happen if you arn't Oing and if there has been an upset to your system. After I had my m/c I had the same "mucousy bleed" when I had "AF" but my last period was a proper one which lasted 7 days compared to around 15 the last two times I had AF. So don't worry too much. Everything will work out nicely very soon! :yes:
Well, I just got my script for the pill in the mail and the FS has prescribed a higher dose of pill, so I will only need to take it for 4 weeks. So the last day will be 8 October!! I had been taking the same pill but with a lower dose, as I had it from after I stopped b/f and had a few packets left over. I knew it was the same pill the dr was going to prescribe but a lower dose...ah well, he mustve decided to give me a higher dose for a shorter time.
My DD is being very challenging today :banghead: hmmmmm....can someone remind why I want another child?:confused:

Hi I have just undergone my first cycle on Clomid over the last month. With our first pregnancy we conceived after having my tubes "blown" and some endimetriosis lasered away - no fertility drugs were needed. Unfortunately this baby was lost due to an incompetent cervix. Had a D&E which then normalised my cycle and we fell pregnant 3mths later with DD. Stopped B/F in April to assist in conceiving next baby but unfortunately my body has gone AWOL again. OB prescribed Clomid which we started on Day 5 (19/8/2006). When my body was "normal" I always ovulated on Day 14 but this month it didn't happen until Day 18. AF is due today but I am not testing yet as I think it is too soon. I will leave it until next Tuesday to see whether AF arrives or alternatively will go and test. Baby dust to all trying this month. :fingerscrossed:

Welcome weloveharriet and aden2005 :wave:
Aden...thank you and good luck with your U/S tomorrow. :fingerscrossed: its not pcos, but even if it is..... there is always Clomid! :thumbsup: Plus, having pcos doesn't necessarily mean you can't conceive naturally.......
Weloveharriet...... oooooooooowwww you have so much will power to not test!! :fingerscrossed: AF stays away for you! You might just be the first BFP for this month!
Lots and lots of baby dust to both of you! oh and everyone else in this thread too ofcourse!!
xo
cmd: 15days eeeeekkk i hope mine doesnt last that long!! it was like a normal AF for the first 5 days or so, then went the way it is now...
Aden2005: good luck :) and just thought id mention that i got married the day your baby was born great date!! :D
WeloveHarriet: good luck!
ohh cant wait until there are more of you joining on the clomid journey!!
Im off to the FS tomorrow, please have your :fingerscrossed: that there are some fociles waiting!!
oooooo how exciting Tara!! im sooo excited for you! hopefully there is a a mature one waiting ready for lots of BD!!
cmd'smum
13-09-2006, 00:40
TJ........:fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: as much as I luv ya, I hope I WON'T be joining you on your clomid journey, because hopefully, this will be your 1st and last!!!!
I'm sooooo excited for you! Its soooo exciting when they call you and tell you to BD because you're about to O!!:yes:
You know...... 4 weeks of being on the pill instead of 6 somehow seems longer to me????? Hurrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy uppppppppppp 4 weeksssssssssssssssssss. My last day on the pill will be October 6, but I prob won't make it for testing until early Nov?????? Who knows, maybe I can squash one in!
Dont be silly, you're going to fall preg on the pill anyway!!!!:thumbsup:
When i went to the FS last time, he asked me a multiple choice question about the pill.
When on the pill, what part of your cycle is the worst time to miss one which could result in pregnancy?
a) the beginning
b) the middle
c) the end
- well to me the beginning and the end are almost the same thing, but anyway!!
I said C the end - and he asked me why :confused: i dunno, thats just what i chose.
And he said thats correct, cant remeber the exact reasoning behind it, but he said it can release and egg, or start making an egg.
So the point of my story is, miss a few pills in the last week and BINGO you might be preg!!
Ill be back tonight to let you know how it all goes today!
Good luck for today TJ...
AF has finallllly gone here!! yay! CD10! i go in for my op tomorrow, so i doubt my va-ja-ja (as my 5yo sis calls it! LOL) will be sore for a few days... hopefully IF i O naturally i dont miss it!! not stressing too much though cos its very highly unlikely i will O anyway! does anyone know by anychance whether abnormal cells (i.e cervical cancer)can cause you to not get preg? just a weird thought i had yesterday... im gonna go google it... but if anyone knows it would be good :)
TJ good luck today I hope your fs can tell you some very good news I will be thinking off you.
CMD Hopefuly 4 weeks wont take that long too pass bu I know that when TTC 4 weeks seems like an eternity dont worry we are all here to keep you company and make the time go quicker
Braydsmum good luck for tomorrow I will be thinking off you.
aghhhh i spoke too soon... af is still here... should i cancel the appointment or hope like crazy af is gone by tomorrow afternoon??
Krystal... thanks hun xxx
ok, so i rang the hospital to find out if i should still go and hope its gone, or rebook, and they said re book as AF has to be gone for 3 days! so now iv gotta wait another week!! frustrating! but quite honestly i wouldnt want anyone looking up there with a microscope while i have AF anyway (ewwww)

I'm having a poopoo of a morning. I found out that a close friend of mine is pregnant (by accident). Whilst I'm extremely happy for her :smiliedance: it's got me down a bit... 5 months of trying and someone who's not even trying falls pregnant. :confused:
ahhh iknow that feeling, my sister is 18 (just) and is due to have her unplanned baby tomorrow... im soooo green eyed monster at the moment! sucks ahy!
Welcome to weloveharriet (you have soo much self control not to test!) and aden 2005 (good luck with your US) :wave: .
tarajane - I hope that AF arrives soon too:thumbsup: . Took the last Provera tablet last night, so could be anytime in the next week - am hoping for sooner rather than later. Good luck on your follicle hunt!:fingerscrossed:
krystal - did you have any bloating when you took the Provera? I feel as though I look about 4 months pregnant (wish I was ...)
cmd's mum - as far as I know, Provera is a synthetic progesterone which is used in HRT. It is different to the pill which usually has estrogen too (although I have taken a progesterone only pill) so I guess we just have to trust that the FS knows what the deal is! Couting down to Oct 6 with you!
braydsmum - sorry to hear you have to wait til next week for your tests - time drags when you are counting the days!
GirlGerms - I hear you as far as unplanned pregnancies go - I'm convinced that the more I want bub #2 the longer I am going to be waiting!
:hugs: to everyone.

Morning chickies :wave: my arn't we :ecomcity: this morning!
TJ........stop putting ideas in my head! :shame: What if I O right after my first AF off the pill? hmm Can you still O when having a first AF after pill? Ahhhh TJ...the things you make me think about!!! :o
I can't wait to hear your news!!!!
Braydsmum...... sorry dreaded WW is still hanging around! Hopefully she buggers off very soon..... by the sounds of it it sounds like she will! Hang in there babe..... we are here with you...................!!! Just think in a couple of weeks it will all be sorted and you will be on Clomid! Hey maybe make an appointment with a FS anyway........ just tell them you have a referral (get one later) just a tentative booking (don't tell them that) because if you do go to a private Dr you might have to wait a while anyway...IYKWIM???
Krystal...how you feeling? Any symptoms yet?
cmd'smum
13-09-2006, 14:39
Hi girls......... just have a couple of questions for anyone who has been on the pill. (warning TMI) for the past few days I've been having creamy CM and been feeling :gloomy: . It started when I started the pill pretty much. Have any of you had these side effects from being on the pill?
Looks like I might have to buy some Lactobacillus acidophillus tablets to prevent any yeast infections :eek: :rolleyes:
Well chickies ill fill you in on how my FS appt went today.
well i rocked up early feeling really nervous and anxious.
only waited about 5-10 mins, went in jumped straight up onto the u/s table.
He did an internal u/s and said there is one HUGE focile there waiting, he said i had responded well to the clomid.
He then gave me a few options,
A) i could go away and have sex for the next X amount of days and hope things work and that i do end up O'ing.
B) he could give me an injection which will make me O tomorrow and i can come back in for IUI (see http://www.conceivingconcepts.com/learning/articles/IUI.html if you dont know what that is)
so i chose B:smiliedance:
I went off got my shot and Hubby has an appt for tomorrow at 11.00am to make his 'deposit' - do his thing in a cup basically. They then separate the good sperm from the bad sperm.
I then have my appt at 1.00pm tomorrow where they will insert the good sperm into my uterus.
the FS thinks that we have a REALLY REALLY good chance at falling preg this cycle.
I am SOOO SOOO SOOO excited, im trying soo hard to control my self as i dont want this to end in tears and dissapointment.
I came home and did an OPK just to make sure they were telling me the truth:rolleyes: and that i will O tomorrow
here is a pic control line is the one on the right (http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e329/tara-jane/DSC00729.jpg)
So girls, please think of me & hubby tomorrow and of course ill be on tomorrow night to let you know all about it.
Sorry this is sooooo long!!
Moosmum - :shame: please please please dont wish AF on me!!!
Braydsmum - thats really annoying news! still havemy fingers crossed for you
CMD - ohh hope you dont end up with anything nasty, thats the last thing you need, i dont really know what days you should be missing the pills etc, but thats smoething that he told me.

13-09-2006, 21:41
TJAAYYYYYYYYY................ :smiliedance: :yelclap: OOOWWWWWW HOW EXCITING! You know what I did when I fell pg with DD on clomid? I told myself, not thinking about it.........tried really hard, didn't think about it much, ppl kept saying....ooohhh think you're pg...... I was like "nah" and I was! After your appt tomorrow...... concentrate on other things, do things you have been putting off, etc etc! I have EVERYTHING crossed for you (yeeeeeeehhhhsssssss...even my legs!hehehe ) Can't wait to hear how it all goes! Oh, and they also asked me to do IUI second round of Clomid. I didn't thought I'd give it one more shot...however, this time I might go with the IUI if they offer! (oh you might wanna make some signs tonight for your DH's spermies saying "this way" :D )
DOULAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH............ :hugs: So glad you're doing well, missed you heaps! Am glad you are back. We are always here to listen, no matter how happy or sad you are! And again, congrats on your wedding! I have everything crossed for you getting a BFP soon too!
cmd'smum
13-09-2006, 21:46
TJ.... just a Q for you...that OPK you did, is that the darkest positive you have ever had?
If yes, then it means I prob did O on my own last month! :yelclap: As mine was that dark too! Silly sperms.... prob went the wrong direction or swam straight past the egg! :rolleyes: I've always wondered that if you get a positive OPK, does it mean you will def O?Anyway, doesn't matter now...enough :ecomcity: on my part!
Yep:yes: thats the darkest i've ever had, the test line is the one on the right and the control on the left. SO it was actually darker than the control!!
Maybe you are O'ing on your own?? Well either way Clomid will help you along the way
Im soo nervious i feel like im going to :barf: its a combination of O pain and butterflies i think!!
:fingerscrossed:
TJ that is great news! Fingers crossed but it sounds like you have a fantastic chance at conceiving anyway!
YAY TARA!!!!!!!!! thats fantastic news!!! good luck for today chicky!!!
Doula, great to see you back hun!!
as for me... my lil sis's baby is due today... i ge tthe joys of taking her to her hospital appoointment and seeing lots of newborn babies and lots of big bellys *green eyed monster*
AF is stillll here... CD11! soooo over this! its getting lighter though
tarajane - nooooo! Wasn't wishing AF on you!! Was agreeing that I hope AF comes soon for me!!! Good luck and :fingerscrossed: that all goes well for you. Hope to hear about that BFP soon!!
Hello hello!!
Moosmum - thats ok then!! Yes i hope she hurries up for you as well:o
My appt went great today, it was nothing to be stressed or worried about at all.
Hubby had his appt at 11.00am to leave his "deposit"
He said that all went well (hahah)
I then had my appt at 1.00pm, i went in they made me sign some paper work, and they showed me the form for hubby's sperm count, 20million is classed as good so anything over that is fantastic, hubby had 42million!!:eek:
So he just thinks he is the bees knees, and is walking around all "manly" Im so glad that he is ok, least they can give me drugs or whatever to make me O, but you cant do much about dodgy sperm, so thats such a MAJOR relief.
The nurse was the one who did the IUI today, she inserted a catheta (sp) into my cervix and then injected the sperm into it, which in turn went up into my uterus.
I sorta spasim (sp) a little as she injected it, not like orgasim spasim, but my legs went all tingly. She said that was normal.
It didnt take any more than 4 mins, she then said i was free to lay there as long as i liked, but the sperm wouldnt make its way back out so to speak. Onces its in your uterus its in there.
So she said if i havent got AF come this time in 2 weeks, to do a HPT - but of course i was thinking to my self ill be doing a few prior to that.
So it was painless and easy, now just onto the dreded 2ww!!!:smiliedance:

I think your first born will be a girl!:yes: (Linda, shutup don't jinx her!:D )
So the IUI was more pleasant than a pap smear? Wasn't painful at all? I have a feeling they might suggest it to me this time as they tried to get me to do it when TTC DD.

So the IUI was more pleasant than a pap smear? Wasn't painful at all? I have a feeling they might suggest it to me this time as they tried to get me to do it when TTC DD.
yeah they still used the speculum (sp) the same as a smear test.
It wasnt painful or uncomfortable, i mean you can feel that they are doing something, but no it doesnt hurt at all. Well it didnt for me.
I just cant wipe this silly grin off my face, i just feel happy i suppose, ask me in a few days when im tearing my hair out over all these so called "symptoms" that i think im experiencing!!

:fingerscrossed: Ladies, AF still hasn't arrived. I spoke to my OB yesterday and he said "Now Kylie, what do you think that means?" - my reply "Well I don't want to get my hopes up". So I bought a home kit and when DH was at the gym this morning I did the test. It has the faintest line but it is a line so I got his cereal ready covered it with gladwrap and then put the test on top. Boy was he excited :D So have weakened even more and gone for a blood test this morning. Will get results this afternoon :fingerscrossed: Am going out this afternoon to get Harriet a shirt embroidered with "Guess What" on the front and "I'm Going to be a Big Sister" on the back. If it turns out to not be this month we will have it ready for when the big day eventually happens.
Lots of baby dust to all testing and trying. Sounds like this thread is a really friendly and busy one. :)

Ladies thank you all so much for your kindness. I just want you all to know that I know the pain in your hearts but one day soon you will have little babes in your arms. We tried for 2yrs before falling pregnant with our first, unfortunately this baby wasn't meant to be and we lost it in Hawaii at almost 20wks. Three months later we were blessed with Harriet who was born July 2005. My body however reverted to its' annoying not behaving so began our journey to have Baby No3. I wish everyone lots of sticky baby dust and send you all my very best wishes for the future.

WeloveHarriet, congratulations, such wonderful news for you:smiliedance: :smiliedance:
Tara: How are you going chicky?? when will you find out if you have been sucessfull this month?? i cant wait to find out :D
Hi Nicole, how you doing? are you in the 2WW yet?
Hi Cmd'smum, I'm not quite in the 2ww yet. My last BT on Sat showed my estrogen was still low so my next one is on Tuesday and hopefully it has gone up. Last cycle went really well so I certainly hope this one goes as well! Based on my last cycle I O'd about 15 days after the last Clomid tablet so that would be about Wednesday.. but last cycle I started out of no where (no induced period) and this time I had a light one and started Clomid on day 5 so Im not sure if that changes anything or not...
cmd'smum
18-09-2006, 00:16
Nicole, try not to worry too much. When I conceived DD I was on my second cycle of Clomid and my levels went up and down and stayed the same and rose verrryyyy slowly...basically funny...the nurses at the FC were like "ummm.....hmmmm....your levels are doing funny things........." I was so stressed that cycle and thought, na! def not getting pg this cycle either, but I Od CD21 and guess what? I have a gorgeous 17month old DD!!!! :D
Its hard love, especially with all the bloods, etc, but you WILL get there......one day at a time! :yes: :hugs:
Tara: How are you going chicky?? when will you find out if you have been sucessfull this month?? i cant wait to find out :D
Hey Chicky, not meant to test until NEXT Thursday 28th.
But ill probably cave and do one on Sunday or even Next monday.
Hmm who knows... depends if im having any "symptoms" so far nothing outta the ordinary!
Let me know how your surgery goes!!
hehe id be testing asap too :D surgary this thursday now... AF has finally gone and i even think i have have o'd by myself?! i had major EWCM - veryyyy unusual for me..! we bd'd just in case!! lol time will tell i guess....

Just a quick update. AF is due today and I went off to my gyno to get the results from my day 21 progesterone test. My levels are 25 which is apparently pretty good, so the 50mg Clomid worked! That's a great start. Now we're just waiting to see whether or not we caught that egg. Like I said, AF is officially due today, but my periods have never been very regular at all, so I'm not counting on it.
Good luck to all you other girls left to test this month!

Thanks ladies. Still no sign of AF today.
That said, I am in the most horrible mood today. I went to the gym and drove my girlfriend absolutely batty this morning with my constant "I hate this machine", "I hate this song", "I don't want to do abs. I want to eat chocolate" and she even had to almost wake me up when we were stretching because I decided to have a micro nap instead. Working out usually makes me feel good, but this morning I am on fire.
Even though we've only been TTC since March/April and it's not something I think about 24/7, I have days where it really gets me down. I have a fantastic life, but today I'm grumpy because THINGS ARE NOT FRIGGING WELL GOING MY WAY! :mad:
Work starts now. Yay.
GG
P.S. Sorry about the vent.
GirlGerms.... yay for no AF!!! i soo hope you get a BFP! when are you going to test? sorry about your bad mood, but hey, its a part of womanhood... good old hormones ahy!

Thanks ladies. This place (and this thread in particular) means so much to me.
I plan not to test until the 28th. My sister, who has always been regular as clockwork and has two children, said that a preg test has never worked until she was at least one week overdue.
I know I'll be really disappointed if I test too soon.
you have sooo much will power to not test! although i can clearly see why you dont want to... BFN suck! i always test way earlier than i should 'just in case i can pick it up early' even though i know i wont... esp when i hardly ever ovulate mysef lol

I am soooooooooooo like you (and Im sure many others) I tested WAY early the last cycle, i think i used close to 12 HPTs in 1 cycle! lol
I know i will be similar this cycle... :D (if i ovulate that is, not looking great so far..)

19-09-2006, 15:08
Nicole.....hang in there.......you will prob just O later than last cycle!:yes: :fingerscrossed: It happens..........:)
the FS just rang me with my BT results for today... my levels are still low and it looks like i am not going to O this cycle on CLomid. :gloomy:
the nurse said they will probably put me on 100mg now but a Dr has to confirm that so i will get the final word tomorrow. If so i will start on 100mg tomorrow night... the other alternative is to wait and see but she thinks they will start me off again...
lol yeah, its a sad life i live testing every 2 days when i dont know if i o'd, or even if i know i havent o'd and still test LOL
sorry to hear you didnt o nicole... hopefully they put you on 100mg fast so you can start trying again!!
im soooo sure i Od on sunday... (i havent been temping so dont actually know) but i had heaps of ewcm and im just sooo sure we concieved this month... i think this month im going to be reallllly guttered if i get a BFN...

Did they also say they would let you have a 2nd round of clomid in the same cycle? or do you have to wait until next cycle??
Ohh i hope you are just O'ing later than last month.
Doc said i will be going straight onto the 100mg next cycle if AF doesnt show.... lets hope she doesnt for any of us!!
KRYSTAL - have you tested yet??:fingerscrossed:

NicoleE, sorry to hear you didn't O. :fingerscrossed: next month goes well for you.
I think AF will be visiting in the next couple of days as I have had soreness in my lower back this morning whilst riding to work. It could also be my backpack which is quite annoying, or the fact that I rode 42km without being very fit at all.... but I'm not going to fool myself.... :gloomy:
Oh well, at least I O'd.... there's always next month I suppose.
GirlGerms my fingers are :fingerscrossed: still hoping AF will stay away for you!
Oh Nicole did they say why they dont think it would have worked this cycle when it did last time??
Did they also say they would let you have a 2nd round of clomid in the same cycle? or do you have to wait until next cycle??
Apparently it can just affect you in different ways each cycle. Because my hormones are low they dont need to induce a bleed, i didnt have one induced on my 1st round either as after 6 months of no bleeding my hormones were of course low still, not much going on in there! The nurse said I will probably take my first 100mg dose tonight, just waiting on the Dr to confirm.

Hi there
Went to my OB today who has suggested that after 6mths of trying that I start clomid next cycle. I had one round of clomid to conceive my DS but had an ultrasound to check on no. of follicles (different doctor). My OB hasn't mentioned any u/s.
Just wondering if others taking clomid are having u/sounds to check on no. of follicles. I know there is a risk of multiple births and to be honest I don't know how I would cope with a multiple birth. Should I be requesting an u/s to check there is just one follicle?? And if so with a cycle b/w 28-35 days when would I have this done?

Nicole....sorry your body is giving you the run around :hugs: :fingerscrossed: the 100mg will work! You WILL O soon! and you WILL catch the egg......I still have a really good feeling about you!!!!!
Krystal??What's happening?
Girlgerms....:fingerscrossed: those foul moods are pgy related :D
TJ.....how you feeling?
Braydsmum, goodluck with your op tomorrow!
Well, I'm so over being on the pill............the time is dragging....... I've got another 16 days to go but it feels forever! Am off to Sydney tomorrow for a couple of weeks so hopefully that will help make the wait go quicker. Even so, I think..... well great i'll finish the pill, then there's the waiting to O......if I do thats is...then the 2ww and blah blah blah
thanks again cmd'smum, I shouldnt be complaining should I with you having to go on the pill!
superbaby I have monitoed Clomid cycles through my FS and they do an internal scan a couple of days before suspected O time to check on if there is a mature folicle and how many etc. You can opt to not BD I guess if there were 2 folicles there but generally the dose starts off low so you should only develop 1. Plus even if there were 2 there is no garuntee either will be fertilised and implant but it would increase the chances though...
I wish I had 2 develop! Double the chances and higher chance of twins (i would love twins - yes lots of work but doubly rewarding)
cmdsmum: thanks hun.... sorry the pill is making time drag... but soon enough you will be holding a lovely lil test with 2 red lines on it! :D
Nicole: hehe id secretly love twins too... :eek:

I always joke to my mum that I want quins so that I can get 5 lots of baby bonuses and buy myself a really nice custom made bike. It infuriates her and I just love it!
But yeah, twins would be great. I have a fairly good chance as it is as my dad has three sets of twins in his immediate family (he and one of his brothers had twin brothers who died at birth one set of twins are still alive). Scary thought!
I hope my moods and pains are pg related as well, but I doubt it!
Let's get some happy/baby dust this way, shall we!!
Wow - so much good news since I posted last time.
:yelclap: Congratulations Weloveharriet. TJ - you must be sooo excited - it will be a long TWW but how worth it will it be to see that BFP?? :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: to Girl Germs and Krystal. Lots of baby dust to all testing soon!
Had a bit of a setback over the last week - the Provera I was taking was supposed to induce AF so that I could kick-start a proper cycle and begin Clomid. For some reason, AF never arrived so I had to go for more hormone tracking which showed my levels are even lower than before I took the Provera which makes no sense. My FS booked an 'emergency' meeting with me for next Tuesday because she thinks we need to 'change tact'. I don't think it's going to be good news! Feeling a bit disillusioned with it all and sick of being poked and prodded for bloods!:crying:
Superbaby - i did get an internal u/s this cycle and it showed only one folicle, doc said that was fantastic, i was a little taken aback as i just assumed there would be more than one??? Dont know why.
I DONT want twins, hubby does tho :rolleyes:
Moosmum - maybe you ARE pregant? wouldnt that be nice.
I hope what ever it up your specialist can sort it out for you ASAP!!
CMD - thats not long at all.... well yes it feels like forever, but hopefully while you are away time flies!!
No real "symptoms" for me just yet - still crusing along. Temp went up a fair bit this morning tho??
My mum emailed me at work today to ask "is the oven preheated yet?"
i think she is more impatient than i am.
Well everyone im back DP and I have been settleing into our new house over the weekend plust I started a new job on Monday and another new job next monday so its all happening.
Well I havnt tested since Sunday and it was a BFN then so not getting my hopes up although AF hasnt arrived but probably isnt too far away my doctor thinks I should have around a 31 day cycle and today is day 30 so he has said wait until next monday thats when I will speak to him agian.
So probably going to hold out as long as I can ive kind or resigned myself to thefact that if it hasnt happend its ok but I know next month when we hit the two years of trying is going to be hard.
TJ I have my fingers tightly crossed for you I so think this will be your month hopefully you start getting those symptoms very soon.
Nicole im so sorry to here that you didnt ovulate are they sure that you havnt just ovulated later in your cycle because last time I was on clomid I ovulate on day 14 and this cycle my doctor thinks I ovulated on day 18 just a thought although im sure your doctors know what they are doing.

Good Morning Girls,
Have been checking on you all, just no time to post................but I'm on holidays now!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yelclap:
TJ: bring on that BFP, those little guys didn't have to swim too far, should be implanting just nicely now.
Nicole E, really sorry about your "O" - lets hope 100mg kicks starts it for you.
Krystal, :fingerscrossed: for you, look how late BFP's show up for some girls.
Moos'mum, hope you appointment brings you some answers - positive thoughts to you.
Cmd,B's Mum, Girlgerms,Superbaby and anyone else I have missed thinking of you all.
We are off and away on holidays and will be back the day before AF is due. Day 14yesterday and I ovulated right on time - nice positive lines on the OPK and my Day 12 u/s showed some nice follicles just waiting to explode. We BD Day 13 -pm, Day 14am - and when DH gets home from his personal training session in 1/2 hour (Day 15) we do once more, before heading out of here. At least the two week wait will fly by and hopefully as it does for so many girls a little break away will result with a BFP in 13 days. Quite happy to put it to the back of the mind for a while, we are both so mentally exhausted and our sweet angel babys anniversary is approaching so quite a rollacoaster of emotions at the moment. Bring on the sun,sand,sea,surf............and fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love and :hugs: to you all.
Lissy:thumbsup:
((((hugs)))) lissylou..... have a great holiday though!
im freaking out bigtime about my appointment this afternoon.. but on the other hand i just want it over! im sooooo excited though... according to FF i DID ovulate when i thought i did! YAY! now just gotta hope we caught that egg! 3DPO now, so ill start testing in about 10days (i know damn well i wont be able to hold off that long though! lol)

Hi, I'm just interested in knowing what hoops you had to go through to get onto clomid?? We've been trying to concieve since Feb, had more tests than you could poke a stick at and they're still telling us that it probably won't be until next year before they start it. Is this normal?
GirlGerms
21-09-2006, 07:51
Have a great holiday Lissy! All the best for this month - the fact that you're more relaxed thanks to your holiday, might just be what you need this month. :fingerscrossed:
I'm feeling ordinary today. I've been ordinary for a week now. Friday and Sunday I felt rotten on the bike, Tuesday I felt terrible at the gym (that was my cranky day), yesterday I was utterly ****e on the bike and today I've got sore skin on my face (but nothing visible!).
Still no AF though....
This had all better be pg related because I REALLY want to ride with my friends tomorrow and if this feeling **** is AF related, I will spit chips! :banghead:
I'm still not testing though. I'm CD31 now.... how long are cycles normally when you're on Clomid? Does it vary as normal or do they tend to be 28 days?
Cheers,
GG
my fertility specilist told me they wouldnt do anything (put me on clomid) until we had been trying a year. but others on here have gotten through quicker... if i dont concieve this month we are going to go private :)

Seems odd to me. We've been trying since March/April and this is our first Clomid cycle.
Are you ovulating? If not, or if you don't know, then I'd be getting a second opinion if I were you.
All the best!
GG
diva-n-dan I went to my GP after 3 months of no cycle after going off the pill, this started the ball rolling. I asked for bloot tests for PCOS as both my sisters have it. 2 months after that I was sitting in a Fertility Specialists office and started Clomid straight away (after some baseline Bloods).
With Clomid if you are not ovulating I dont see why they would wait (particularly if you have PCOS)... perhaps get a second opinion?
Moosmum dont be worried about the appointment if anything they may be just going to the next step which will help you get that BFP sooner! :smiliedance:

Hi girlies :wave:
Well, we arrived in Sydney tonight and its been great catching up with my family. Beleive it or not, I havn't thought about TTc today (well until now :p ) as I've been just tooooo busy!!!
Lissy.......have a fantastic holiday........I have a good feeling about you :yes: Looking forward to seeing your BFP posted on here in 2 weeks!!!
Braydsmum......hope today went well...........:fingerscrossed your results are great
Girlgerms.........ooowwwww please put us out of our misery and test?????????? please??????? *Slap myself on hand* leave her alone, she'll test when shes ready!
Speak soon!!!!!!! :hugs: to you all
hi everyone! i didnt have surgery!! YAY! last time i went i had an Asian lady (she was the one that said i had to have surgery and that they wouldnt do anything til april) and yesterday i had a young (very spunky!) guy and he looked at my file, results etc and said - well i dont know why she ordered this surgery, you dont need it.. she had also written in my file that i am "regulurly ovulating" hahaha when i told him i have ovulated once (i didnt tell him i have just ov'd on my own for a 2nd time) he said gee shes a weird one that one.. he said give it 3 months, try and loose some more weight (iv already lost 24kg) and then they will put me on clomid.... he said if id like him too he will do all my appointments from now on... so hubby and i have desided if im not preg this cycle we will wait the 3 months... mainly cos the dr was sooo nice... so im stoked! :D
Mel thats great that your new doctor understands and in three months you will be on your way to a BFP if you dont get one before then.
Well nothing to report on my front AF still hasnt showed and I havnt testsd agian yet im just paitently waiting. Also I am going to now stop writing about myself on here because im being watched and DP and I will be keeping our news if there is any to ourselves for as long as we can (until I start showing) but I will inform you all of how im doing in PM's.
TJ any symptoms for you because I have a feeling this month it will happen for you I actually had a dream about you last night weird I know I dont even know what you look like but you were pregnant.
Nicole how are you going when do you start your next round of Clomid :fingerscrossed: that the 100mg does the trick.
Take care
Krystal
Hi Krystal,
Im just waiting until Monday now for a BT and scan to see whats going on. I guess either way it will be good, I will either have a developed or developing folicle that's just come late, or nothing and I can start the 100mg Clomid!
Good luck all, still plenty of time for more BFPs for September! :fingerscrossed:
:smiliedance: ** baby dust - baby dust ** :smiliedance:
Nicole: thats great! Roll on monday!
Krystal: you better pm us!! lol
Why is the TWW soooo long??? seriously... this month is the first month since TTC that iv seriously realised how long the tww is! its also the first month i have actually thought iv had a chance too though.... rolllll on 1st oct! (if i can wait that long... i doubt it though! lol)

Haha! I'll test this weekend. Still feeling ordinary - didn't even ride this morning and I feel like :barf: (both ends - TMI!). I have a feeling it's a virus of some sort as I got out of bed this morning and had a massive dizzy spell and fell on top of the heater, which luckily wasn't turned on.
Hopefully I'll be better on the weekend as I plan to ride 100km on Sunday.

Nicole.......... good luck for Monday, don't be surprised if you have a mature follicle!
Krystal..... so sorry you can't come on much. Don't let ppl stop you from doing what you like....... and yes please pm us with your progress! I have everything crossed that the nasty witch stays away!
I can feel a huge rush of BFPs just around the corner :D
have a fantastic weekend girls!
Krystal - thats very promising that you havent got AF yet, :fingerscrossed: she stays away for you!!
Sorry to hear about your "sticky beaks" maybe you should have a 2nd user name, and PM us with what it is??? Dont know if thats allowed or not tho? Or Change your user name?
Hope you are right with your Dream, lots of ppl have said they have a "feeling" about me this month, hopefully with all the positive energy it will pay off!
Nicole, looks like you're in a win/win situation, either way on Monday you will get good news!
braydsmum - sounds like you have a wonderful doctor!! Bout time to!
Hopefully the 3 months will fly by, are you still going to temp & OPK etc, or just take it stress free until then.
CMD - how come you cant test til NOV? Cant you squeeze one in for end of OCT? Hope you are having a BALL on your holiday - take it easy, and enjoy a few drinks while you can.
Still nothing major for me, im extremly tired - but hey its Friday so thats normal, nipples are still sore & pointy ALL the time, but thats it. Nothing promising at all - well not yet:rolleyes:
:fingerscrossed: CMD is right, and there are LOTS of BFP's around the corner
thanks everyone... i hope i dont have to wait 3 months, i still have a strong feeling about this month.... :fingerscrossed: TJ im still temping cos i o'd this month so if i can do it again id like to know about it :D iv never used an OPK though, id have to use them everyday cos i never know when or if im gonna O....

Really weird........... my boob leaked some colostrum...........was just sitting there.........and I felt "wet" around my nipple, looked down...... little wet spot :eek: Have any of you experienced this whilst on the pill? Plus because I'n on the pill, should'nt my hormones be right down????? I really hope its working! What if its not? Then I won't be able to start Clomid!!!
I know.....I need to calm down!:shame:
i know! i cant believe how small she is though... i cant remember brayden being that small... lol even though he was born 8pd6!
weird about the colostrum!? :fingerscrossed: you got preg on the pill and wont need clomid!!
im 6DPO now... havent tested yet... its not to hard not to test, cos im sooo scared im gonna get a BFN and be disappointed :( not gonna test til 14DPO! my chart is looking good though :D
Heres a link to a piccy of my niece - couldnt resist (http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g132/bug_2005/Claire23sep007.jpg)

Good luck Jones02!! :fingerscrossed:

Hey Chicky,
Mine have been 'leaking' since about my 2nd or 3rd month of TTC, i went to doc and he reckons all is fine, probably is just hormonal or stress related.
He said its similar to when girls in highschool have AF stop during exam times.
Try not to worry too much!!
I am hoping to start tking clomid within the next couple of months, if someone don't mind could you let me know how much it is
hey,
mine only cost $16 for 10 tablets of 50mg per tablet.
However on the box it said RRP $42.00, i dont have a health care card or anything so there is no reason why i should have got it for $16. Unless its on the PBS??

jones02...goodluck for next month....what date is your appt on? We may be starting Clomid at the same time! Oh and just tell your Dr that you've been trying for 12 months......I'm sure a little lie won't hurt! :o Anyway, if its a private Dr then they should put you on Clomid regardless.
TJ.......thanks for that hun....I had more leaking tonight, bout the size of a 50cent coin......... my hormones are still everywhere........I give up!!!!:banghead:
CMD - think it might be about time you started the TTC with Clomid..... OCT
AF will be here for me on Thursday.
Have had a few red spots show up on my face, always get them whilst AF is here, and temp dropped this morning, along with a BFN.
I know im the first one to say "If not over until AF shows" but i just know......
so that means ill be starting next round of Clomid on Friday - still really September, but obviously the last 3 days of it will be in OCT.
Hope you are enjoying your holiday!!
Braydsmum - your chart is looking fantastic!!! Lets hope you have caught that little eggie!! Would be great if you didnt actually have to start clomid and you fell preg on your own.!!
thanks guys.... guess what..... I HAD A DIP THIS MORNING!!! (temp wise that is) now im trying reallllllly hard not to get excited!! i hope its an implantation dip :fingerscrossed:
TJ :hugs: but i have to be the one to say it, its not over til AF is here (stay awayyyyyy witch!!)
OMG - i am definitly the green eyed monster today - your chart looks fantastic!!!
:fingerscrossed: it shoots back up tomorrow. If so you will sure be on your way to a BFP.
:banghead: :banghead: i was waiting for someone to say that about AF :rolleyes:

I'm out for September. AF showed up on Saturday morning and gave me a most excruciatingly painful weekend. :crying:
Today is day 3, so I'll start taking the Clomid once again. I've told DP he is not to go away for work this month.
Off to the October thread :gloomy:

awww :hugs: GG..... cmd: are you gonna start the oct clomid thread... or would you like me to do it?
GirlGerms sorry to hear AF showed her ugly head! :hugs:
Good luck to you braydsmum, lets hope it is an implantation dip!
:fingerscrossed:
TJ your right, there is still hope, hang in there. Although at least if you are expecting AF it wont be as bad if it comes and if it doesnt, extra surprise!! :thumbsup: Good luck.
Well it looks like I might just O late this Clomid cycle...
Went for a BT and scan this morning, get the BT results later today but a scan showed up a folicle! It was not quite ready, it was 18x18 (not sure if that would be mm or some measurement smaller) and it needs to be around 20 or 22 to ovulate so they said it should get to that size in another day or two. YAY
:fingerscrossed: there's hope for this cycle yet!
Has anyone ever had late O on Clomid? IF I O about Wednesday it will be CD24 (15 days after the last Clomid Tablet).
thanks nicole, i soooo hope it is implantation dip.....
Great news on the follicle!! glad to hear there is still hope yet!! (hope is good!! lol)

Braydsmum.......your chart still looks good........ it doesn't matter that it didn't rise as much as you would've liked, if you look at your earlier past O temps, they rose slowly, no hikes.........your temps are still above the coverline so :fingerscrossed: It also depends on what day your temp starts dropping before AF shows up..... mine usually dips slightly on DPO 11 then keeps going down till the WW makes her appearance........so next month when I'm on Clomid, if my temp drops on DPO11 for me, I know its over for that month..............hang in there.......you're chart still looks VERY promising!:yes:
Jones :fingerscrossed: let us know how you go!

CMD- nope dont have to go in for BT, FS said if AF shows come back on cd9-10. And if i get BFP on HPT come back when im a few weeks preg.
Im thinking that if i dont have AF on monday, and am still getting BFN then ill go to GP for a BT then.
waiting waiting waiting........:rolleyes:

Hang in there hun! Keep in mind how many girls got LATE BFPs on these threads!
BABY DUST BABY DUST BABY DUST................... Please let us know what happens tomorrow morning with testing! I think its a good idea to have a BT if AF no show by Monday and still BFNs........
You know, I'm feeling stressed for you! Imagine how you feel! You will know either way in a few days luvy...please please don't make me run starkers down the street! :eek:
All pretty negative news on my front this morning.
* Temp went down
* BFN
* Tinged CM when checking CP this morning
So come tomorrow morning the stupid f%@#ing b@#%h will be here.
at the moment im ok about it, i suppose it hasnt really set in that this cycle might be over. I mean it still MIGHT not be, but then again all the signs arent overly promising at all.
HOPE TO SEE MORE ORANGE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS!!!!!
WHOO HOO SEPTEMBER! :fingerscrossed: for the ladies still to test
