    Thanks guys.
    I thought AF was due Monday going by when I thought I o'd but it might have been anywhere up to Thursday. Just waiting for Af and I'll start the clomid this month. At least I know for sure when I o on that cause it hurts!
    Jules- I'm actually wodering if I did o. Hade the usual signs but less pain than usual, but I put that down to not having clomid
    Hope you're all ok!

    Hi ladies

    Bec did you do any OPK's this cycle? It's a bit of a pain not knowing if you O'd. I hope AF shows up soon for you. I hate getting a BFN and then having to wait for her to show up. I think out of all the waiting we do that one is the absolute worst.

    Fs visit

    Hi all
    Well, we went to the FS today after our 4 rounds of Clomid! Going back on the Clomid wagon again for another 3 cycles - still 50mg - says because i'm ovulating there is no need to up the dosage.
    He will also recommend us for IUI then IVF - IVF has an 18month waiting list here on the NHS. I'm hoping it doesn't go that far but who knows. Not really sure how I'm feeling at the moment about it all. Emotional...... as usual!

    Morning all,

    Clamgee, just wanted to send you big hugs! Hope you're feeling ok. A few questions, have you had a lap (sorry I can’t remember) did he mention maybe having one? That's great news that he will recommend you for IUI and IVF, nothing worse than having to fight for that. What's the waiting list like for IUI? Can you maybe pay for some cycles or either IUI of IVF whilst waiting for your free one? Sorry about all the questions I'm just very interested. Hopefully a few more rounds of Clomid will do the trick for you and you won't have to worry about any of that anyway. GL hun and fx.

    Xxoo

    Hello all! Hope you are all doing ok....

    Bec - I understand your frustration of not knowing what is going on.... I acutually thought I O quite a few days ago but today I have sticky CM, almost like EWCM but I have no O pain, so I don't know what is going on. Maybe we should just DTD in case?! Gosh I wish it were easier!!!! What day are you going off that you O? Don't you have a 35 day cycle? (or am I getting confused?), so how many DPO do you think you are??? Sorry for all the q's....

    Claudette - OMG 18 month waiting list - that is madness, can you go on the list now whilst ttc on Clomid, so it cuts down the wait time? I hope you get your BFP on Clomid, I was on 50mg & although I never fell pg I did O and felt O pains, which is much more that I usually got. I will have more info next week after seeing OBS/GYNO & will KUP.

    Bec big coming your way, hopefully a blood test will give you the anwers. The one thing about me is that I don't get my periods due to my PCOS so even if I don't get my periods doesn't mean that I am PG, which makes it hard.

    Claudette hopefully you won't need to do IUI or IVF, but at leats now your FS is listening and he will be putting you on the wait list for it. And don't worry about being emotional, with what our bodies are going through both physically and metally we should be aloud to be emotional sometimes.

    AFM we went to our FS app this morning and I know that I'm not PG as he did an internal ultrasound and had a look at my uterus. I think my DH still has to get used to be in the room while he does them. Our FS lets DH see the screen which is good cause he knows what is going on (when he wants to though). Anyway our FS was going to get us to try the FSH injections but as he is going on holidays for 3 weeks in July he isn't as it was going to be then that he has to monitor me with ultrasounds every couple of days. SO we are still just on the provera and clomid for this cycle but I am now going to have 150mg of clomid.

    Well I better go and pick up DH from work. GL everyone.

    Hi girls,
    The good news is that I am feeling decidedly periody today, so hoping AF arrives tonight. Never thought I'd be so happy AF was on it's way, but it's better than not ovulating!

    Porsche- I didn't OPK this month becasue FS said it might not work becasue of the FSH injections (apparently they give a false positive?) Since I'll be back on clomid next month I will OPK this month, although I kind of know what to expect at least!

    Jules- I normally have a 35 day cycle but I thought I ovulated at about CD17 which was a good 5 days earlier than normal. Turns out it was still CD2, just had CM for longer! Hopefully you are ovulating. Get to it girl! Are you feeling ok for all that though?

    Claudette- Glad you were to FS and at least touched base. 18 month wait for IVF! At least your on the list now so if it does come to that you're a little closer to the top of the list. Hopefully the next 3 round eventuate in a BFP and you won't need to worry. FX for you

    Liz- I know exactly what you mean about no AF!!! Without clomid I can go about 16 months without AF. It's heartbreaking when you think AF is due and it doesn't come so you get excited and then find out that not only are you not pregnant you're not even ovulating!!! I fully get your frustration. With clomid, I have a had the first regular cycle I've had since I was 18 when things went haywire. So sorry you're out for this month. Were you ovulating on 100mg? (I can't get back to the other page to check, sorry) The FSH injections is much more full on, so hopefully the clomid works and you don't need to go there! (It's not that bad, but more monitoring).

    AFM: AS I said hopefully AF will be here tonight so a new cycle! I went to a psychic who said I'd conceive a baby during the cancerian starsign so maybe this will be the time! (I'm not holding my breath but you never know!)
