Afternoon Ladies,

Shannon and Kotare - So sorry to hear that AF arrived for both of you girls.
Hopefully the next cycle will be the one for both of you.

Ellie - My heart goes out to you.

BG - Great news, and the best of luck for the IUI tomorrow

Holly – Thanks for the info on Nettle tea, a girlfriend at work has been nagging me on this one for ages, maybe I should try it out.

Everyone Else -

*WARNING - Self indulgent rant follows:
AF arrived this morning, on CD23, the shortest cycle I have ever had! I'm usualyy a 26 - 28 day girl, 30 with the first 2 Clomid cycles and 29 with the third. Not sure what has happened this time!
I'm a little annoyed at my gyno too as I was just told to BD around CD13 to 15 while on the Clomid, but no other tests were performed to confirm ovulation dates, only the day 21 test, which was only done on my first two cycles and showed that I had ovulated.
The billings people that I have been dealing with for about 8 months suggested hormone monitoring this cycle and I rang last night (would have waited til tonight if I had known AF was arriving!) to get the results so far and apparently I ovulated around day 7 or 8 and my fertile period was finished by CD11. Grrrrr
Luckily we had BD on CD7, but obviously not successfully.
Apparently my estrogen levels were extremely high and I know that my progesterone levels have previously been at 142 on a day 21 test.
I may do another monitoring cycle next month and see how different it is without the Clomid.
Guess we wait now until June and then decide on the next step.

Hope everybody has a lovely weekend.
:hugs: to all
