Hi girls,
Porsche- TWins! I would love twins! They are also on both sides of my family. Maybe we can both have twins (wishful thinking!) As for testing: I haven't decided what to do yet, although I think it will be a BFN this month anyway. No symptoms whatsoever! I am getting a BT friday (I should be between 10-12 DPO) and see what that says. Being the first month of this new stuff, I'm not sure what to expect AF wise.
Chez- the CM thing is the biggest pain about clomid. I haven't had any trouble with the hostile environment thing, but lack of CM can make DTD a bit painful I find. Preseed is the way to go as Porsche said. Try the EPO I've heard that works wonders.
Keli- GL with the 12 week scan. I am so excited for you! Let us know how it all goes.
Hannahfroodoo- I hope that the clomid works wonders on your cycle and makes everything normal for you. I too have had issues with early miscarriage, and I know the heartbreak, so I really hope it has good results for you this time round.
Hope- GL for scan on Thursday! I hope there is some good follie growth for you love!
Liz- I know all about 'clomid meltdowns' or 'demon b***ch from hell meltdown' as DH lovingly refers to them as!!! It's like have PMS for the whole month isn't it? I can almost track my cycle through my heightened emotions: Anger, Anxiety, Exaustion & Finally...Teary. I feel like the seven dwarves of clomid! I hope you are feeling better hon!
Rhi- how'd the lap go? Hope you're ok.
AFM: I'm feeling a little down at the moment (I am in my teary stage anyway). I need to ring and cancel my OB appointment which would have been on Thursday. I just can't bring myself to do it. It's like letting go of that last string of what might have been. The date has been looming for a while and I know I should have done it straight away, but... and now I think it's worse.
Sorry for the downer guys, I just needed to tell someone I am NOT ok at the moment as much as I try to be. Thanks
Ohh Bec I'm sending a bit hug your way. It is totally fine to be down at the moment. It's hard to be strong all the time. Can you get your DH to cancell the appointment? That way you don't have to do it?
Rhichichi I hope your recovering ok and it's not too painful.
Hope I'm praying you have sone big plump follies ready and waiting.
hannahfroodoo: Yep, I have the cd12 scans every cycle on Clomid. I see a private OB so he does it all in his rooms which is great. If there are any good follicles on the day I than have 10000i.u of pregnyl (injection). To my understanding, that brings on ovulation for timed BD (sorry TMI). GL on your clomid journey, I hope it is a short one for you. I'm crossing everything for you also.
Bec: It is totally understandable that you are going through the teary stage. It's such a hard time to go through and your emotions go up and down through it all. I remember having to ring the hospital and cancel my booking for my labour with my first pregnancy. The OB told me to book in to the hospital straight away when I first seen him with the pregnancy. Having to ring and cancel was one of the hardest thing to do while going on such an emotional rollercoaster. I didnt bother booking with the second pregnancy, which ended up being the right decision in the end. I know that it is a hard thing to do, like porsche said, can DH ring and cancel the appointment for you so you dont have to deal with it? I'm thinking of you during this time and sending big hugs.
Chez67: GL with the remainder of you Clomid cycle. Fingers crossed for you.
Keli: GL with the 12wk scan. Cant wait to hear how it all went. Very exciting.
lol, the talk of twins makes me laugh. Does everyone go through the whole "Oooh, we could have twins or triplets, exciting" and than go through the whole "What if we fall with twins/triplets and something goes wrong?" I am also getting very impatient and just want DH and I to have a beautiful little bubby to bring home with us and think that twins is the answer (and a possibility on clomid) but than I get so worried that it could cause more problems. I really dont care if we have one bubba or two or three, I just hope that everything goes well and they live a happy/healthy life. I don't think I am emotionally equipped to handle what some people have to go through with their little premies, etc,etc. I long to feel pregnant, have symptoms, have morning sickness, have everything that all pregnant women complain about. I guess we all do. Well, I suppose, we just have to keep our heads held high and keep hoping/praying/wishing for that dream to come true. Wow, I am sorry, that turned into a rant that I wasn't expecting it to be. Bit glum wasn't it!!!
On that note, I am going to go.
Hello to everyone else in here. I hope you are all well and coping just fine.
I got my b/t results over the phone today from my FS - no numbers - she just said there had been no change after the 5 doses of 50mg clomid. She wants me to do 5 more starting tonight on 100mg. I have got a really bad headache and I had the worst night last night - woke up drenched in sweat! Has this happened to anyone else? Is it normal to do this, or should I just wait this cycle out, drug free, and move onto a new regime next cycle? I am worried that my side effects are going to double along with the dose! Oh and to make it more confusing for me, my TCM is dead against doubling the dose and starting tonight. She wants to wait and see what happens this cycle. She is worried that a higher dose could be bad for me and my ovaries.
I am so confused, I really don't know what I should do. Please help!
Didn't you only just take the last pill Chez? Most people have a BT CD21 or follie u/s every few days from about CD 10 or 11. I never o'd until day 21 at least so I reckon it's a bit early to tell, maybe it will take a while to work on such a low dose. Maybe ring the FS and ask why she think it's not going to work? GL hon.
Thanks everyone for your support. I got the courage up today and rang and cried a bit when the receptionist asked if I wanted to book another appointment, but she was lovely. Thanks for the hugs Porsche and Hope, I feel much better today.
Hi all, came on last night when i got home after being at work for 11 hrs, but got tired so i thought i would post tonight.
Oh Bec, sending you big hugs and like porsche said, we don't have to be strong all the time and with what all we are going through we all deserve to have times where we just need to let it all out.
chez i think you should ring you fs and ask why, they are their to answer your qusetions and support you through this, my first cycle af came later than what my fs said they would (13 days after stopping provera not 7 like he said) and when i rang him it was good just to ask, i felt a bit silly, but it was good to get it off my chest and he didn't mind.
Keli GL with your scan hope everything goes well, its so nice to hear someones success story.
Bec, thanks for the good laugh hun , my DH thought your DH's reflection of our moods was spot on lol and then when DH was talking about mood swings with a fella at work going through IVF, he told DH that he hasn't seen anything yet and that these are good moods.
Hannah: my fingers are crossed for you that the clomid works this cycle.
AFM: I am feeling much better now and DH has informed me that i'm not snoring as badly now. no signs yet of anything but i still have a week to go till i need to do a test so it's still the waiting game for me . off to bed for me i have a very early start in the morning .
Bec I'm glad you feel a little better. It was very brave of you to call and cancel.
Chez I agree with Bec. It's too early for you to have any results yet. I don't normally O until CD16. What was she checking for? At then end of the day it's your desicion. I'd be giving your FS a call and just clarify what he/she wants you to do and WHY.
Hope secretly I would love twins but in reality it's not really a high possibility when you look at it. We will eventually all get our BFP and experience all the pregnancy symptoms.
Liz I'm glad your snoring has settled lol. Your DH must be very happy hehe.
