Hi Ladies

Tammara - Good luck for your appointment i'm sure it's all going to be fine.

Chez - Yes I do do opk's and chart my BBT.

Hi Ladies, just popping in to give you an update on the Femara.

My last post I was worried that I wasn't going to ovulate even though on the scan there was definately a follicle. Well i did ovulate but unfornately not preggas.

So anyway started on my next round of Femara the other day, and I have to tell you ladies, i think the issues I had with the first round might have been all in my head. I have had no probs so far, no hot flushes or headaches and not irritable.

hopefully this is a good sign for us, this will be our month and be a happy and heathy pregnancy without any drama.

Good luck to all of you.

Porsche - I hope you are ok - huge hugs.

AFM - I haven't been sleeping well due to having millions of thoughts going through my head about ttc & going back to work (I am on long service leave atm). I wish that this journey was easier or at least give me something, some sort of hope :S I don't know if I can do this anymore, it takes up too much of my energy and my emotional stress levels are not coping....

Hi everyone
I've just came back from a 4 night stay with 31 11 year olds and have been sleeping since getting home!
Trying to gage the mood on this site at the moment - think we are all feeling the same - bit emotional and a bit fed up!
I go to the hosp next week to discuss what happens next for us. I've had 4 rounds of clomid since October with a M/C after the 1st round. I am going to be way more demanding this time round. I will ask about the possibility of IVF - we get one round free on the NHS - but there is a long waiting list, and I would like to be on it while we are using clomid etc.
I have never felt so emotional before, always nauseous, and even having crazy dreams during the night. It would be great to abandon this journey, but I could never forgive myself for just giving up.
I think the fs wil increase my dose of clomid - although my last progesterone level was 48 - and hopefully they will track the developing follicles which might help me to identify when I am ovulating!
Anyway, hope you ladies are well and keeping everything crossed!

Thanks everyone, I'm feeling much better now, but I think DH isn't too happy I have given it to him hehehe.

Rhi - hope you are feeling better, sending you big hugs.

nellym - fingers crossed for you this cycle, at least you know that it worked, just gotta get them spermies to swim the right way.

chez - I'm glad you got to talk to your fs about everything, it is even more stressful when you don't know why they are doing things. I ended up ringing up my fs up on my first cycle as I was unsure bout things and was so relieved after talking to him.

hannahfroodoo - goodluck with this cycle. Everyone O's at a different time so maybe you just O early in your cycle.

hope - wow 4 follies, fingers crossed. when talking with my fs about fsh injections and then the last injection to release the egg (forget what it is called), he said that there is no need to stop DTD before the injection and start DTD within 24 hrs of the injection.

AFM - I am now due for doing a pg test so will be doing one in the morning . I would have done one this mornig, but DH had other ideas this morning (sorry for TMI).

for everyone

Hi girls,
Porsche- you ok hon? hugs to you, and chat when you feel like it.

Rhi- GL going back to work. It is such a taxing journey TTC and people just don't get how much energy it takes. Try to ease back into work if you can, and hopefully it won't be too overwhelming. As for being fed up, I totally get that! I'm thinking it's almost time for a break, a few months off to just not have to think about it. hugs again!

Tammara- 17 weeks!!! oh my gosh. So glad all is well.

Claudette- Glad you're back. School camp hey? So glad I teach Prep (Infants? not sure what you call it there) and no camps in sight! Glad you are going back to FS. It mighht be worth getting onto that waiting list. You can always cancel later if you don;t need it.

Hope- i was told that I should DTD for 3 days from the trigger shot. I'm guessing it's all over and done for you now though!

Nelly- My first round was an aweful round for side effects too! I think our bodies just have to get used to it. Glad you o'd. GL for this month.

Chez-Glad you got it all sorted out. I am a huge control freak and I like to know the reasons why I have to do things. I'm glad you got your answers and hopefully are on the right track now. BTW I have been on 100mg clomid for all except the first cycle of clomid and it worked for me!

epayne- GL with your test! I am due to POAS tomorrow too, but I haven't even bought one becasue I'm very sure I'm not UTD this month! FX we have a BFP posting tomorrow!!!!!

hannahfroodoo- hopefully you caught the egg even if you didn't mean too! Hope the TWW goes fast for you!

Keli- hope all is well!

Hi to anyone else out there in cyberland.

AFM: pretty sure Af is due tomorrow, but not really sure becasue O was a bit all over the place this cycle! I have been a bit crampy, but only on one side so not sure what that means. I have no sore bb's, been tired but very busy, and thats it. Will probably just wait and see if AF arrives in the next few days. I think next round I'm gonna be naughty and go back to clomid instead of the injections. I was so much more relax on that casue I knew what to expect. Maybe with the metformin, I might have some luck and get a sticky one.
have a great week girls,
Bec

Hi Ladies

Hope you all had a great week end.

Liz & Bec I'm hoping you get your BFP this time. That would be fantastic.

Clamgee - Wow school camp. How brave you are hehe.

AFM not much happening just waiting to O. I'll start my OPK's tonight. Hopefully I O early this cycle. I have a meeting with work today and I'm going to be discussing the possibility of someone else being trained in certain parts of my job because I'll have to have time off starting the end of the month so we can start IVF and I can't be called in the middle of EPU to sort some drama out for them.

Bec goodluck with getting a BFP, fingers are crossed for you.

porsche hope all goes well with your meeting and that they understand what you are going through.

AFM I so feel like crying at the moment. Last night DH and I had a bit of a fight over what to do next if this cycle didn't work (which now I know it didn't I got a BFN ) He wants to try doing clomid 100mg for another cycle as this cycle wasn't the best for DTD as both of us have had the flu. I keep asking him to read the booklets the fs gave us but he's not that interested which anoys me, just cause I'm the one with the problems and not him. AAHHHHH. But I just don't know I really only had that one day where I thought I o'd and bedding was good at that time. (sorry for TMI) Our next appointment with the fs is on thurs and our fs said last time that if this cycle didn't work he would like us to try FSH injections as well as clomid.. And to top it off I don't know if my boss is going to like me not coming into work till late due to having all the BT and US in the mornings if I do the injections. I'm just a little confused and don't know what to do and DH isn't helping at the moment.

Liz
SOrry for the rant, just needed to get it off my chest
