    Hi Koby

    Welcome to this thread! Let's hope you stay is a short one. I've been TTC since July 08, so know how you feel when everyone else seems to be falling preggers and month after month you have no BFP. This is a great thread for venting and also for keeping your hopes up. Where are you up to in your cycle? Are you in the 2WW yet? There are a few of us going through the 2WW torture at the moment. I'm 6DPO and have another 7 days to go. Argh! Hope you're not having too many side effects from the Prov and Clomid - I know clomid can certainly make me go a bit mental!

    Thankyou for the welcome

    Im waiting for AF then I have to take the clomid on days 5-9. The only side effects I got from the Provera were tender nipples and I was a bit crabby lol

    GL is your TWW! Cant wait to see your flashy BFP

    Hi ladies, thank you for the warm welcomes!

    becnxavi - nope not my first round.... my 8th! Hence the high dose lol. I did fall pg on clomid at the start of 2009 but lost my little boy at 21 weeks due to a placental infection so I know I can do it... just need a little help. Thanks for the info, still having pains but definately think I o'ed yesterday as I had a really sharp, caught my breath type pain in the arvo. I hope so anyway.... DH is starting to look at me weirdly when I suggest dtd again
    GL for the next three days - stay strong!!! Fingers crossed for you

    Ahurani - GL with the clomid, just a tip I've found that reduces the side effects is I take it at night. Seems to work for me anyway!

    tammara - thats great news, I hope everything is ok for you.

    Hi to everyone else, thanks again

    Hi all,

    Welcome Koby! You will certainly find alot of support and information in this thread. I hope you get your BFP soon!

    I have been ttc # 2 since Oct 09, so not as long as you (nor the others lovely ladies) but I certain hear & understand your frustration.

    We aren't saving for a baby - I have alot of stuff from DD # 1 that I will use & have kept ALL her clothes. So, if we have a girl - no probs. If we have a boy, well I have some neutral stuff for newborn but will have to buy clothes. All our nursery stuff is neutral b/c we didn't find out what we were having. I know I definately spent all of the baby bonus ($3k at the time) on nursery furniture/pram etc... I have read somewhere that the approx. cost of raising a child is $4k per year, so $10k would be about right when you add it all up

    AFM - Off to the Dr's today. Have shocking lower abdo cramping / pain since Monday after DTD and it is getting worse. I usually wouldn't bother to go, but something tells me I should. Am on CD 19, so don't think it is O or baby related (too late for O, too early for baby)?

    HI girls
    welcome Koby! Hang in there, provera can be a pain, but once AF arrives at least you can count your cycle! I always hated not knowing when AF would turn up (or if). Clomid has fixed that.

    Aries: So sorry to hear about your angel baby. This is also my 8th round of clomid (this time round. DS is 3 1/2 and was conceived after 6 rounds of clomid), and I've lost two angel babies in that time. I wish you every bit of luck that this will be your time. There's is only so many times you can smile and say congratulations when another person announces they are UTD! My sister conceived the first month we were trying (July 08) accidentally and they are now planning another in the next few months, and I still haven't had my BFP! life can be so unfair, hey?

    AFM: 2 days to go and I crumbled and bought a HPT, which came out negative. I kind of knew it would, but the waiting is driving me nuts! So i fully expect AF to arrive on Friday as planned. Oh well, maybe next month...

    GL to everyone else!
