Definately very emotional on Clomid - overly teary, sensitive etc....

Hi Keli
I was prescribed Dianette as a contraceptive but also for facial hair.It has the highest amount of oestrogen. I think they might have tested years ago for PCOS but only through ultrasounds and hormone tests. When they first started investigating the irregular periods I was early 20s and not in a relationship where I wanted kids. The fertility doc said to 'go away and come back when I wanted to get preganant - as I would need help!!!' If only I knew then what the implications would be. Now i'm back at him and hurtling towards 35. Does anyone feel really emotional on Clomid? - I was a miserable toad last night and ended up in tears. This hasn't happened before - it might just be a build up of emotions but i felt really stupid!!
Anyway, only 1 more tablet and the countdown begins again...........

So hubby and i are relaxing more and i cant help myself but tell people now lol

Mez - yes, the hot flushes & insomnia are just awful!

Whinge time
Hey Ladies,
Hope you are all well.
Just thought I’d pop in for a bit of a whinge. A girl at my work yesterday announced she’s 9 weeks pregnant, she’s 22yo and got married 7 weeks ago. The first time they had unprotected sex was on their wedding night, and surprise…they’re UTD. Seriously????? What is the deal with that. Arrrrrrh!!!!! Sorry just having a bit of a moment. I just keep trying to tell myself that I will be a better, more understanding person because of what I have been through and I know that if DH and I can get through this struggle then we can make it through anything.
Anyway, enough of that. AFM – Took day 5 of Clomid last night so am now starting OPK’s and will hopefully ovulate in the next week and a half. I have always been told not to DTD everyday but to do it every second day. But you know what? That hasn’t worked for the past year so DH and I have decided to DTD everyday from day 12 until I O. Fingers crossed all that sperm will get into just one little egg.
Is anyone still on there 2WW? Or are we all into our new cycles now?
My thoughts are with you all on this amazing struggle.

Hey Keli,
That just plain sucks! I'm happy for her that she doesn't have to go through what we are/have but for pete's sake, why is it soooo easy for some and not the rest of us?!
I start Clomid tonight. We are taking a similar approach to you & DH- not DTD every second day... Again, it hasn't worked for the past 5 cycles, so why would it for this one?! I am going to use OPK's too and then go for it! Most people not on Clomid use OPK's and have success!
Anyway, better go and do some housework or something.....

Hey Julia,
Yes totally sucks I know. Whilst I would never wish this journey upon anyone I also don’t like having it shoved in my face how easily some people get preggas. I hate it when people say “All I have to do is lie down and I’m pregnant”. Oh well, I’ll cheer up and stop being such a grouch soon.
Wow so you’re starting Clomid tonight? That must mean that we are very close in our cycles. GL I hope you don’t have too many side effect this round. And yes I agree DTD everyday sounds like fun for us too. I have a few friends that have had success on OPK’s so I’ve been using them for the past few months also, they’re just hard read that’s all.
GL with everything, chat soon

Aw Keli, That is so hard to hear how easy it is for other isnt it. Like you said you would wish it upon anyone but just sux that we all have to go to this extreme and takes forever and some people it happens straight away..
I do believe that tho it does make you appreaciate it so so much more, and i truely believe that there will be a special bond between you and that miracle baby of your when he/she is ready. I hated everyday when me and DH were TTC the 2 years were the hardest ever. But no i honestly believe that everything happened for a reason and this little bub that i have inside me was meant to be ours and if we didnt do everything that we did we wouldnt have this most precious bub.. It will happen and when it does im sure you will feel the same.. Hugs to you and hoping this round works..
Tammara so glad everything is all on track with you, Bubby growing nicely in there now and before you no it you will be getting all the big kicks that keep you awake all night, Its the best feeling..
As for everyone else, welcome all the newbies and im praying for each and everyone still TTC for that BFP that we all deserve...
Me... Im 26 weeks 1 day.. Everything is going great, we have 4d scan in 2 days DH and i cant wait to see our little one again. Get lots of kicks everyday Dh just talks near my belly and bubby goes crazy with kicks..

Hi all,
Keli - I totally hear you... I just moved to a new place and whenever I meet new people, they have 1 questions:
1. how long have you been married?
2. have you got any kids?
Also, at the moment I'm studying, and in the past month, 2 of my classmates have given birth, and 3 are pregnant. It's pretty tough...
AFM - onto third day of clomid today. though hopes are pretty low for this cycle considering hubby's 2nd sperm analysis came back pretty much the same as the 1st one (morphology is not good). He still needs to go to a urologist though, so just waiting to get an appointment before we can see the FS and discuss the next steps.
Hope everyone's doing well!

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.
