AF has arrived in full force

Feeling ok was upset last night but will keep on trying. It's Greek Easter today (both DH & I are of Greek background) so will be a good distraction.

Hi ladies.

Hoping it isn't too late to join.

Been reading your thread today with interest as I've been given another chance to try and fall pregnant somewhat naturally (3x clomid, dexmethasone, megafol and aspirin). I've been researching the SMEP with extreme interest and I stumbled upon this one!

The triple dose of clomid has finally got me ovulating and this is the first cycle I temped and pinpointed ovulation. I'm currently having 32 day cycles, and I'm on CD 30 at the moment. Going out of my mind cause I swear I'm pregnant but FRER says otherwise. I'm 12dpo at the moment, I tested with an IC this morning and it was BFN. I've been extremely tired, stuffy/blocked nose, sore boobs, loads of creamy cm, and sharp pains and pulling sensations around my ovaries, and also really bloated. Its probably just AF coming........ Or is it?!

Anyway... Hope to get chatting with you all

Hi Nat,

Welcome to our crazy and diverse thread

Fingers crossed for you that its not AF arriving!

Pigeon, i'm so sorry to hear that the terrible wench arrived! How was your easter celebration?

**pigeonpairplusone** · 16-04-2012 12:21

Thanks ladies, im feeling much more positive today. We had a wonderful day with our extended family yesterday, i drank and ate plenty lol. DH and I had another really good chat and will definitely be stopping ttc at the end of the year if no joy. On the other hand he has realised just how much he wants another and is even willing to take all the vitamins etc...he's never been one for all of that. Im just glad we are on the same page and will really give it a good shake. Thanks girls for letting me vent!

Nat - welcome to the thread

We are a really good bunch here, the most supportive thread ive come across. fx that you are indeed pg, some people dont get a pos hpt until 5 weeks or so so you never know. How long have you been ttc for?

Dancing - how are you feeling? Have you told anyone yet?

I hope everyone else is well xx

Hey all very interesting the things u have been writting, I have not been trying much of the things to get preg but my symptoms kind of sound the same I have been trying now almost 2years had all blood tests and every thing is normal and no reasons not to😔 but still not happening.... Although I am 2 dpo and it's strange my overies or down there feel different. I have a 2 half year old already but never had this happen. I have a 31/32 day cycle and ovulate every month day 16/17 and get the clear egg white that is stretchy so everything works good. Today when I pee a bit thought and sit there when I wipe there is a bit of pink blood. But I don't know if it's from sexing two day ago or something else any one ideas.. 😜 and when is the best time to have sex is it when u have the egg white or before... We did it two days before it each day and then break an then the day of it which was now 2 days ago😍 someone give me some idea

Pigeon pair - thankyou! I've been trying for 6 years or so. With a break in between when I left my DDs dad. She was conceived after 4 rounds of clomid. I have PCOS, mthfr and some immune issues. I did a cycle of ivf with my ex, which resulted in 2 miscarriages and 2 chem preg. And I've done an ivf cycle with my current DF (last year). Which resulted in another miscarriage and then a bfn. Had a long and rough journey but I think I'm a better person because of it. And I have 2 of my friends going through the same sort of thing so I'm happy to be able to help them out and give some advice. I'm usually in the ivf threads, but feel a bit out of place cause we won't do ivf again until after our September wedding. Trying ourselves in the meantime. Ive ordered preseed and I'll be doing SMEP next cycle. Fingers crossed!!
