LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin 2010 #1

[Mez Moz]

Hi ladies

Yup I totally empathise with feeling grrr when hearing about other people getting UTD so easily. But Frustrated is right - the individual journey that we are all going on to conceive will mean that when we all get to that stage of holding that long awaited bubba in our arms, it will all be worth it and we will appreciate that precious little bundle more than words can ever explain. Hang in their girls - your time will come (I can't believe I just wrote that - I used to hate it when people told me my "time will come when it's meant to!")

GL to all the girls starting or already on this round of clomid. I reckon DTD every day is a good idea if you and DH can manage it and not get too stressed by the fact you 'have to do it' (this used to be quite an issue for DH at times...)

AFM I went to the doc today to get some blood tests (my naturopath wants to check iron etc) and I also asked for a confirmation that I'm UTD. I am still having a hard time believing it because I have no symptoms really except for feeling a bit tired. I'm 5 weeks on Thursday and I want big boobs already! (I'm incredibly flat chested so will enjoy a bit of cleavage for once in my life!)

Keli - I would love a BB belly buddy! When I fell pg with DD, I never joined in the BB threads here, not sure why? Anyway, fingers crossed for us - I hope this cycle is the one as it will put me in the Dec EDD, not that I'd mind a 2011 baby

Tammara - Awesome news with the u/s. So glad everything is ticking along nicely

Frustrated - 4D scan! I've seen the 3D ones & they are unreal!

Michal - Sorry to hear that DH's sperm analysis come back not so good. My DH come back 'normal', so I am unsure what is invovled with the urologist.... I hope the appt with the FS goes well. Hugs to you

Mez - Be careful what you wish for! Being a large bb lady (DD's) I can assure you they are not all that great, particularly when you get pg & they just get bigger! lol It had no symptoms of being pg, except for the tiredness, which is a bit scary but I am a sook when nauseous / sick, so I am glad I didn't have to endure that

Morning Ladies,

Frustrated, I was literally in tears reading your post last night, thanks for the encouragement and for understanding how I feel. Wow 26weeks already? I cannot believe how quickly that has gone. GL for the 4D scan.

Michal, OMG don’t you just think that they are the most inappropriate questions? I had a doctor as me and DH the other day how long we had been married, then asked if we had and kids and we said no, THEN he said “but you want kids yes”? OMG I could have punched him in the face. I just wanted to yell at the top of my lungs “Yes of course we want kids but we’re having some trouble conceiving”! Arrrr people just don’t get it do they? So sorry to hear about DH’s results, now morphology is the shape of the sperm right? I’ve never heard of a urologist before is that like a guy specialist? GL with that, I’m thinking our paths to IVF may be very similar soon.

Hey Mez, Yes I agree I can’t believe you just said that, I know your right but still cant believe you wrote it, haha! Yes DTD everyday can be stressful, in the past DH has had some issues there but we seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment so I’m just sticking with it whilst it lasts. GL for the BT, I’m sure all will be great.

Hey Julia, Yes I too am very hopeful about this month, a Dec2010 bub would be perfect, like you said though a 2011 one would also be fine.

Bec, you still out there? Haven’t heard from you in a few days. You all done with Clomid for this month now?

Jess85, are you still out there Jess? Sending you massive hugs if you are, would love to hear from you so pop in (even just briefly) if you can!

GL to everyone else, this month is going to be a good one, I can feel it.

Mez, apart from feeling tired i didnt really have any other symptoms right at the start either, although feeling quite nauseas in the morning. It didnt take long however for the boobs to begin to ache incredibly and YES get quite big, i went up a size within a few weeks..

Keli, I didnt mean to make you cry But i promise you that is how it will be..Without even knowing you i already know that you will make such a wonderful mum just from your posts i can tell that your little bub is there waiting for its time to come & already know's how lucky it will be to have a mum that is so determined and focused to have this bub and give all the love you have to him or her..

[Keli]

OK Frustrated I must just be emotional at the moment cos I’m crying again, ha ha! Don’t worry they are good cry’s not bad ones. Thanks again, you’re words are so beautiful. I’m hopeful this month so with any luck I will completely understand what you mean soon.

Ok ladies I have a questions here, I have read people talking about there cervix being high and soft and therefore they know they are ovulating. How the heck can I tell if my cervix is high and soft. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have to agree 100% with frustrated about it happening at the right time. I can now understand that my m/c was just not the right time for me to have my bub reason being is that 2 months after i found out i ended up having my gal bladder taken out among other things and now i feel so much more at ease about things.

My cousin watched a program about phsycis or something spiritual and they said that the baby choses us when its ready to be born so your baby is out there just waiting to find you lovely ladies

Hi Keli

I have no idea about the whole cervix thing I just couldn't bring myself to do it. The same as the whole vaginally temping. More power to you if you can do it. It's supposed to be really helpful.
