Hi Bec
Yay for oing all right lol My tummy is soooo tender even more so than when I'm on the drugs hehe. Good luck with the jabbing. I can't see myself doing that even though I might have to.
I haven't hear of that web site before. Now I'm curious though.
Finger crossed for all the o'ing girls :)
My last scan was last friday and was good, baby looked like he had lil frog legs lol so cute - oh and im calling baby he because hubby is convinced so i have noticed im saying he - better than it :)
My Gp has refered me to a specialist for the pregnancy because of the problems ive had, im pretty happy at this cos if there is going to be a prob i would rather be in the hands of a specialist. Still have not noticed any movement from bub but i dont know what to look out for. I am FINALLY starting to relax and really enjoy everything now cant wait for you all to get your BFP's.
Oh Bec i feel your pain/discomfort with the metformin it is horrible when you dont eat, hope its settled down for you. ive not heard of the website but i too think too good to be true, its upsetting when you read these things but there is always a catch :(
Saffy, if you get a choice of nurses to talk to ask for sue stevens she is so lovely and very good at explaining things to you also i have dealt with charlot.
Im about to freeze my bum off so i think i will get into bed. Hope your tww are kind to you sll xxoo
Hey all,
Sorry that I have been MIA for a few days, just taking a step back for a few days (can't stay away too long ;P)
Saffy - I think you eat Royal Jelly, but I am not too sure..... I haven't bothered looking into it anymore since I am off to the Naturopath next week. I got breakouts from Clomid too - mainly around my chin/side of my face....
Nelly - great news about the follie. It makes such a difference whilst ttc with great support - makes it less stressful hey?!
Porsche - Great news about the EWCM & + OPK - you never know what will happen hey whilst ttc (I mean that in a good way of course)
Hope - Best of luck with your BT - I hope your levels are good.
Ahurani - Great news! Fingers crossed for you
Bec - The Met sometimes knocked me around when I was on it for a short time, but taking it at night time definately helped. I am a bit sceptical about those websites - unless referred to me by someone I know & trust somewhat. I would trust your instincts, sometimes our hearts get in the way of sound judgement.
Tammara - Gosh can't believe you are in the 2nd tri already - ticker is moving along nicely.
Hello to everyone else - I know that some will be lurking :)
AFM - Nothing to report here.... just waiting for my lap appt.
Take care all, speak soon
RhiChiCHi- I actually went and got some royal jelly esterday, so I have taken it for 2 days. I did some research, it is to improve the quality of eggs but takes about 3 months to kick in so that should tie in well with my ivf. I was a bit hesitant at first because the [package has all these warnings about how it can cause anaphalaxis but I'm not allergic to bee stings or polen so thought I'd risk it. I have got little vials which you poke a tiny straw into and drink like htat, it is very sweet and quite disgusting but oh well, hopefully it works!
Saffy - Thanks for that, I hope it improves your sucess with IVF - if you need it :)
Hi girls
Thought I'd pop in to say hi and see how you are all going. I'm truly wishing you all the best of luck and hope your long awaited bub is just around the corner. Fingers crossed for all you ladies in your 2WW.
Tammara - can't believe you're in the 2nd tri!Glad you have been referred to a specialist so you can get the best care.
AFM, we're 11 weeks now and I had the blood test for down syndrome yesterday. My scan is on Monday week, so once we get that done and the test results back I think I'll be able to actually feel a bit more relaxed that this is really happening.
baby dust to all x
Did anyone else have trouble finding this again? The new layout of BB is very confusing!
Just popped in to say hi to everyone and say I hope you had a great weekend. Mez, great to hear all is well with you! GL with the scan. Rhi- welcome back! We all need some time away occassionally I think, but we're glad you're back!
I started the Gonal f injections yesterday, and you should have seen me! I had to keep sitting on the kitchen floor with my head between my legs to stop myself passing out! I was also laughing hysterically, so DH & DS are now totally convinced I'm a loony! I managed it in the end and it actually didn't hurt at all. Just waiting for FS to ring tomorrow to see when I have to go for follie scans. Regime has begun!
Hope you all find this again, I was so upset when I thought this thread had gone to god in the reno of the site.
Bec
I thought I was the only one..... I had subscribed but when I try to click on my subscriptions it is hidden behind another page - if that makes any sense????
How are you feeling after you've started the injections ? Any side effects?
Thanks for the welcome back too Bec :)
Mez - So glad to hear all is going nicely for you, please KUP about your scan :)
Hi! to everyone else
Hi Ladies
Gosh doesn't the new look, look great? Purple is my favorite colour. I didn't have any dramas finding you all. Just have to get used to it.
MezMoz - Great to hear all is going well. FX for your scan today. It is today isn't it? I'm having a memory lapse and I only read your post 2 seconds ago lol.
LOL Bec on your description of the injections. I would be the same hehe. Hopefully it does the trick and you get some really nice follies.
Had a great mother's day yesterday. Kids behaved them selves all day lol. They gave me 2 of those scent diffusers you know with the bamboo type sticks? They also gave me 2 little cosmetic cases, a nail file and a book mark lol. God love them.
Well FF put my cross hairs in this morning and apparently I'm 5DPO so AF should be due around the 20th May. I'm almost halfway through my 2WW.
Afternoon beautiful ladies,
Just thought I would pop in to say hi to you all and give you a little update on me.
Porsche: So glad you hear you have jumped straight back into it all, good on you, you are so brave. Must be nice to have a month off the drugs too, congrates on O’ing on your own, nice work. How awesome is that being half way through your 2WW, love it when that happens and you didn’t really think about it too much.
Saffy: Hi love, how’s things going with your police check? I am praying for speedy post for you, or even better a BFP so you don’t even need it.
Ahurani: Congrates on O’ing, it’s an awesome feeling knowing BFP is a definite possibility isn’t it?
Bec: Wow you really have a serious regime set out for yourself there don’t you? Good on you, that is awesome, you have just been amazing through all of this, just jumped straight back into it again, fingers crossed those little follicles are going to be big fat juicy ones in no time. Lol your story about the injections had me in tears, I can just image it. Glad you finally got it done IYKWIM.
Tammara: Wow so glad to hear it has all settled down for you and things are ticking along nicely, that is awesome hun, so when is your EDD?
Julia: GL with your lap it’s on the 25th of May yeah? I have everything crossed that this is your answer, I truly believe that it played a big role in mine.
Mez, hi great to hear from you. So glad everything is wonderful for you. Gosh so there’s only 3 weeks between us then, what is your EDD? GL for your next scan, hope all goes perfectly.
AFM: Well I am now 8 weeks, can’t believe how fast that has flown by. Having another scan on Friday though, turns out there was another smaller sac seen at my first US and at that stage it appeared to be empty but I need to have a follow up scan just to be sure, so twins are not yet off the cards. Will let you all know how it goes on Friday. MS is in full swing all day long, not complaining though cos it’s what I have wanted for such a long time.
GL to those waiting to O, I hope you ALL catch that egg.
FX to those in 2WW, I know it’s agonising I just hope you all get your long awaited BFP’s at the end of it. This forum is totally due for some exciting news.
Babydust to all.
Xxoo
Hi girls,
I hope you don't mind me crashing your thread again!
I just wanted to ask if any of you taking Clomid had issues with little to no EWCM?
This is my 2nd cycle of Clomid and while I'm currently on 7DPO, (sorry if TMI) I had one 'bit' of EWCM 2 days before actual O day... I normally have it for a couple of days, but not this time...
I was just wondering if this was normal??
Thanks girls xo
Hi girls,
Elocin- although I've never had any worries with EWCM, i know it's a common issue with clomid. I think porsche said Green tea helps?
Kel & Mez- so glad your pregnancies are prgressing nicely. Good luck with scans this week. Let us know if it's twins, Kel!
Porsche- glad you had a nice Mother's Day. I did too, I got a nice pasta cooker from DS (well DH really!). FX this month is for you before DH goes away!
Rhi- Side effects have been more sever than I'd hoped. Not awful though I suppose. I'm just really dizzy all the time and a shocking headache. But I was the same with Clomid so it's no worse!
Hi everyone else, I can't see the msg on the last page so I won't do persies! Hope you are all well though.
AFM: Nothing new here. I'm CD11 but I'm not sure how my cycle will be since I've not been on Gonal before. Maybe I'll suprise everyone an o on time! That'd be nice...
I'm off to dress rehearsal for a play I'm in so I better have tea,
Bye
Bec
Keli - Congrats on reaching 8 weeks & the possibility of twins - KUP! GL x
Elocin - Yep EWCM fairly non-existant for me whilst on Clomid. I have also heard taking Robitussin (cough medicine) helps too, although I have not tried it
Porsche - Glad you had a great mothers day. GL for this month
Bec - Best of luck
Hi to everyone else
Elocin- I have had next to no ewcm :( although I know I have ovulated
Yesterday i went to do my progression level. Hopefully i hear back from the doctor with some good news about my levels. From this point its a waiting game to see if i start my period or if im pregnant. How was everyones mothers day! I hope it was a good one. Linda
Hi Ladies:
Ahurani - I have very little to no EWCM on clomid. It is very common for clomid to dry it up so to speak. I used to use pre seed sperm friendly lubricant when I got a + OPK. Others have used green tea to help CM. I'll be using the pre seed agin next cycle when I start clomid again. I too have heard of taking Robitussin. Actually i read something about cough syrup. There are other ones you can use but you have to get one without a certain ingredient. I'll see if I can find the info again.
Ok, I am going to ask a bit of a silly question and I really cant believe I am about to ask this. You are all talking about no EWCM and I am in that category. Some of you have had suggestions on how to, I guess, Fix the prob. Now my question is, with the green tea and the cough syrup, do you drink it as normal or do you use it in a different way? So sorry for this question.
I cant remember if it was bec or Porsche that said they used a pre seed sperm friendly lubricant, where did you get this from?
Porshe: I only just realised that you m/c last month. I am so sorry for your loss. Heres to the future bringing you a better outcome.
Linda5: GL with the progesterone levels, lets hope that the levels are sky high. The waiting game is so painful isnt it.
Bec: How did your play go?
Hello to everyone else. :crossfingers: for those of us in the TWW and also to those of us who are trying to catch that egg.
AFM: Nothing to tell here at the moment except I get my BT results tomorrow for my cd21 progesterone.
Thanks girls... makes me feel a bit better IYKWIM to know that it's somewhat normal...
Hope, as far as I'm aware, you drink it as normal...
If you Google pre-seed, you'll find a website that delievers it. Where abouts in QLD are you? I know if you go to the Pre-seed site there are a list of Chemist's that stock it, although not many have it.
Ok, I have another weird Q for you all and I'll apologise first for TMI... While I had very little EWCM, I was still *ahem* wet enough to DTD without my pre-seed... should I have used pre-seed? Does it actually assist in getting the spermies 'up' there or is it just sperm friendly (ie, doesn't kill the boys like normal lubricants)??
Ahhhh, what a way to start the day ;)
Thanks again :grouphug:
Morning Elocin,
As far as I’m aware, if you are wet enough (so to speak) to DTD then don’t use anything, nothing is better than your own natural lubricant. But if you need to use something then pre-seed is the way to go. This is what I was always told anyway, even though this is not what the packet says.
Hope that helps a little.
PS: Thanks for the giggle hope, totally know what you mean though cos the weird and wacky things people tell us to do can be quite odd sometimes. At the end of the day if someone told us to rub banana into our skin, we’d do it. Yes drinking it’s the way to go, don’t know why it helps but apparently it does.
Babydust to all
Xxoo
Hello i got my results back ,the lab e-mails them to you.The level was 44. something does anyone know if thats a good sign for pregancy. Or know how to read the progressive level.im hoping thats a good sign !! Im crossing my fingers !! linda:
Elocin- I'm in the same boat- used to have very good levels of EWCM but with clomid it just disappeared! Even DH noticed and asked me about it :redface:. If you can still DTD then I wouldn't use pe-seed, we had problems with pain and chaffing so I was using a conception friendly lubricant (can't remember the name) It seems annoying that the clomid increases our ovulations but then reduces the way for the sperm to get to them!
Linda- anything over about 15 means you have ovulated so 44 is a good result, you can ring your doctor and ask him/her to explain to you
Kelly- rubbing banana into the skin sounds easier than what we all do lol, I wish that was all i had to do to get preg hehe! Any news on twins? I used to dread having twins, now staring down the barrel of turning 38 I would love twins!
Hope- good luck with the BT today, hope its good levels x
Bec- shame about those side effects but I hope you O on time x
RhiChiChi-hi how are you going?
Porsche-how are you going on your TWW? Any promising signs?
Hi to everyone else I hav missed, hope you are all going well! :D
AFM-had a big depression yesterday, I think I've got pmt, cried all the way to work so had to fix up my face when I got there, then when I got home had a fight with DH because I asked him to do one little thing for our mortgage application and he didn't do it of course. I feel like i am doing everything for that and for the ivf application and he just acts like none of it is his business GRRRRR!!! He's apologosed but is still not in the good books with me
Staffy thank you i will call the doctor tomarrow there office is closed now.But thank you that make me feel a little bit better that there is a possiblty. linda:
Ha ha Saffy, yes very true, rubbing banana into your skin would be so easy if it worked, hope you knew what I meant though. No news on the twins yet, scan is on Friday, will keep you posted. Yes after 3 years of TTC they really don’t concern me anymore either. Hope the depression is subsiding a little for you. KWYM about DH’s not filling out ANY paperwork, mine is exactly the same, even with the IVF stuff for us too, I began to feel as though he didn’t want it as much as I did. I honestly think they just don’t think about it though. Doesn’t help you in the mean time, arrrr they can be fun at times.
Hi Ladies
Saffy - 2WW is going pretty speedily this time lol. I don't have any promising signs but then I don't remember any signs when I was pregnant with my first 2. I think it was the clomid that exagerated my symptoms last time. Really don't hold much hope for this month. My temps are all over the place. I really have no clue what the heck is going on. Just waiting till AF is due and then start poping pills again.
Elocin - I used Pre Seed because I had read it gives the sperm a better condition for survival. And lets face it we would stand on our head and sing twinkle twinkle little star if we thought it would help.
Hope - With the green tea and cough syrup you just indgest it like you normally would. No need to rub it into any place lol. Thank you for your condolances.
Hi Linda
I had a progesterone level of 64. It only indicates that you have ovulated. It won't tell you if you are pregnant.
I have just caught up on all the posts & have had a good giggle :) I love that we are all on the same page, makes me feel less alone & less freaky :P
Anyway, I won't attempt persies as DD is awake and I know she will interrupt me whilst I am mid way through ...... speak of the little one, here she is now lol
Linda - I just wanted to second what Porsche said, the prog test is only to confirm that you O, unfortunately you have to do the same waiting prior to being on Clomid :S Just remember we are here if you need to vent during that time.
AFM - Went to the Naturopath today & she has given me some lovely concoctions :S I am off to Google the contents lol I did ask about Royal Jelly & she said she has heard very good things about it but she doesn't use it b/c it aparently there is a high incidence of reaction and she prefers not to take that chance with anyone, so no Royal Jelly. She also told me to follow the CSIRO diet.
Better go, DD needs attention :)
Afternoon all. I'm so glad I could bring some giggles to you all. So sorry about the silly question but thanks so much for all your answers, lol.
Elocin: Thanks for the info on pre seed
Linda5: Congrats on the great progesterone levels. Thata a definate O. Like others have said, this doesn't indicate if you are or are not pregnant. :crossfingers: for you.
Hi girls,
Porsche- glad the TWW is going quickly for you. It's always the most trying time I reckon! I was thinking of getting some preseed this round too, just to improve the enviro IYKWIM ;)
Hope- no silly questions here! I have wondered the same thing myself, and the sad thing is I'd probably do it the 'other' way if someone said that it would help! lol
Linda- glad o arrived! Hopefully the wait will go fast and this month will be a positive for you.
Rhi- I'm (trying to be) on the CSIRO diet too! It's actually pretty good, except I don't know how poeple find time to cook dinners that take three hours to prepare and then manage to peruade a three year old to eat them...but it's not bad. GL with it. Glad the naturopath appointmtnt went well, I must admit I can't stomach those concoctions!
Saffy- Hope you're feeling abit less fragile today. I fell apart in the staff room at work yesterday and everyone was really nice and hasn't mentioned it again since. We're here if you need to vent hon.
Ahurani, Claudette, and anyone else I've missed, hope you're well and closing in on your BFP.
Mez, Keli, Tammara- hope you're all well.
AFM- managed to inject myself the wrong way today and now have a huge bruise on my stomach. It hurts! I don't even know what I did wrong! I'm hoping doc rings tomorrow so I can arrange my first follie scans for Friday.
Night night all,
Bec
Bec - Some of the recipes are a bit ridiculous. My 3 yo is picky regardless of what I cook unless it is pasta! GL with your scan.
Well, I googled what is in the concoctions she gave me and there is Peony, St Marys Thistle, Flase Unicorn Root, Licorice and Chaste Tree (Vitex) - all to do with estrogen levels & the mentrual cycle, so fingers crossed it hopes along with my lap. She says it should take 3 months as long as I do as she says, which is take her herbs, exercise (doing that) and eat well (trying to do that)
Better go to bed, take care all & hope you are all well.

Hello my nurse e-mail me back and all she told me was that my levels mean i ovulated and to wait to take a pregancy test. Which im supposed to start may19 which is a sunday.Has anyone had 44.37 prog levels and got pregant.I have been feeling sick since sunday nauses sick, today i got a little bit,but theres a stomach virus going around my house so its hard to tell with the sythoms. Any advice would help .Thank you Linda:
Hi Ladies
Bec & Rhi - You guys have more diciplin than i do lol.
Saffy - It's ok to fall off the wagon sometimes. We didn't ask to be in this situation and it's just not fair. I truly believe that god picks us for a reason It just doesn't make it any easier for us to deal with it. (I'm not religous or anything).
I'm 7DPO today and I have cramps. I had them yesterday as well. I had them last time and I got a BFP. But I keep thinking this is all in my mind. Wishful thinking. Technically i can test on Friday being 9DPO which is when I got my first BFP but I'm not convinced I'll get one. I've got 14 HPT's at home calling to me lol.
I'm also trotting off to the loo a bit more as well. I'm taking notes on how many times I go today as yesterday seemed like I spent more time in the loo than doing work at my desk. This is another thing I'm saying is all in my head. I also had a metal taste in my mouth yesterday and this morning.
Do you think I'm reading into this a little too much?
i have everything crossed for you love, ive heard people say its easier to get preg after m/c so you could very well preg. I will keep very positive thoughts for you. lots and lots of luck for you :) if it were me i would be trying now lol I did my first test about 3 days after the embrio was transfered - i knew it wouldnt show but i had to just incase :)
Hello thank,it seems like the waiting game takes forever to find out if you are or not.I just to thank all of you for being so supportive .Its nice to to know people that are going throught the same thing.Seems like its been hard for me to get pregant since my misscarriage in oct.Now with clomid it feel like its not working some months. linda:
Don't lose hope Linda, you never know when a BFP will pop up.
Porsche- sounding good! How awesome if you got pregnant the month you didn't take anything! Fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you.
Rhi- good luck following the naturopaths advice. I've been trying hard this week, but I just ate a kit kat so there goes that! I hope it does the job for you though.
Have a good night girls, I'd better cook dinner (not a three hour one!)
Bec
Just a quick update. I got my 21 day Progesterone test results today and it was at a lovely 89. Such a huge jump up from last time (30.9) so I am pretty over the moon with these results. Lets hope I can keep these levels up.
Hello to all of you. sorry for the quick post, gotta go get dinner. Hope you are all well and keeping positive.:);)
Did you end up pregant that month you had the progesterone level that high.Your was higher then mine was. Thank you. linda:
Hi Ladies
Linda - No I didn't end up pregnant that cycle. That cycle was the last time I had BT so I don't know what my levels have been since. Sorry i know it doesn't help much.
Wow Hope that is a huge level. I wonder if it means multiple follicles?
Well FF changed my O date lol It did this last time too. It's put me at O day CD24 (which I thought was O day anyway) and made me 6DPO. So my temps look better now. Got a little longer to wait till testing so instead of starting the testing marathon on Friday it's now starting Monday.
Morning Ladies,
Just a quick one, I am pretty sure that a progesterone level over 72 means multiple follicles, so nice work Hope fingers crossed you can catch at least one.
GL in your 2WW Porsche, all is sounding very positive at this stage, I am praying like mad for you and have everything crossed, it would be so cool to fall pg the month you have been on nothing.
Bec, GL with your follicle scan, hope the suckers are looking massive and juicy, he he! Let us know how you go.
Xxoo
Porssche & Keli: When I had my 12 day scan to see if there were any follicles good enough to have the pregnyl injection there were 4 great follicles and 2 on the bit smaller size. So yeah, I had multiple follicles at day 12, is that what you mean by the Progesterone level at 89.
Even though I have such a good level, I am still not confident that we we manages to catch one of those eggs. For some reason, I just don't feel that our timing was right this time.
I have a question, when you get O pain, are you actually O'ing than or is it a pain you get to indicate that you are about to or just have? I hope that made sense.
Linda: i'm with you, it is so nice to have people here in this group who are all in the same or similar circumstances and that we can all try to be a little helpful to one and other (even though what we have to endure is horrible). All the best with getting that BFP at the end of your TWW, :crossfingers: and :pray: for you.
Porsche: :crossfingers: for you during your 2WW. Like Keli said, it would be great to fall pg on the A-La-Natural cycle. It's 9DPO tomorrow for you, have you decided whether or not you are going to let those 14HPT's call you?
RhiChiChi: I was taking Chaste Tree, along with other things, from my naturopath and she said that was for progesterone.
Bec: GL with the injecting. How did you manage to inject yourself the wrong way? So sorry, but I did have a little giggle when I red that:doh: How's that bruise going? GL with your scan tomorrow.
Saffy: Hope you are feeling a lot better now. Just remember that you are not alone with these down moments, I think that everyone of us here go through this at some stage. Not that that is going to make you feel any better. I hope it was just a passing moment/day. :hug:
A big Hello to everyone else. I hope you all have a lovely day.
hey girls,
I'm back on track now :), saw my counsellor yesterday which was good timing and I feel 100% better then I did tues ( I think I spent half the day sobbing, poor DH when he got home from a long day at work)
Hope- thanks for your words, you are very kind. Also your level is very promising, FX big time for you ( Did someone in here's dr say to them a level over 65 could mean a pregnancy?? Maybe another thread? I'm sure I heard it somewhere) I hope it is true!
Porsche- just think of money you will save by not testing over the weekend!! ( not to mention the heartache of a BFN) hold out til you can get your BFP, which I'm sure you will get. Wow, I O so early compared to everyone else, also I don't have any HPT's in the house to resist temptation. But I know I don't feel pregnant anyway. Do you still have all the symptoms? (metallic taste, peeing a lot etc)??
Linda- good luck not long to wait now, hope its a BFP for you
RhiCHiCHi- I'm taking the royal jelly with no problems but I understand why a practitioner wouldn't want to recommend it to anyone. Good on you for going to the natropath, I too find it hard to take all that stuff, why can't any of it taste yummy???
Bec- shame about the injection/bruise, good luck with your scan, hope you get great results.
AFm- don't know what CD I am maybe mid to late 20's, so expect AF this weekend or just after
Have a great day everyone xx
