LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin 2010 #1

Morning Ladies,

OMG out for a few days out so much is going on.

Firstly, Tammara, oh honey my heart just sank reading your post. I have everything crossed for you today, GL and I hope that you bubba is still sticking in there for you!

Porsche, hope the crying has helped heal your pain a little. You have been so brave. GL with whatever decision you choose to make about when to start trying again, I know it will be the right thing for you. Hope your first day back has gone ok for you.


Julia, lol, still can’t believe you can’t find the test, that is very funny. Heavy bb’s, that is the term I now use, they were always ‘sore’ before AF arrived but once PG they were heavy, not trying to get your hopes up but just having some positive thoughts for you. I’m not saying your not PG until AF arrives, fingers crossed for you!

Linda, welcome to the thread. I never had any nausea whilst on Clomid, always had sore bb’s right before AF arrived though, and then not when I was PG, GL hope this is your month. How many DPO are you? It may still be too early to test.

Bec, OMG OMG are you serious? Early on I had 2 tests that came back negative in the timeframe then changed to positive after woods, think my urine was too diluted and it was very early on. OMG so excited the next one has come back with 2 lines also, fingers crossed you get to next Tuesday, when would you be due if you do? Try not to stress about DH’s response, my DH said to me the day we found out, well we’ll just wait and see cos it could be wrong you know. Your right though he is just trying to spare your feelings I’m sure.

Clamagee, totally know what you mean about getting addicted to this site, it’s so nice to have ppl experiencing the same things you are and to know that you are not alone. Sorry to hear AF (sort of) arrived, has it properly come now? Fingers crossed for no holiday for you, IYKWIM

Welcome Saffy, this is a wonderful site I only hope that your stay is short. Not sure about changing your Clomid days, you are right plenty of ppl take it earlier than others but not sure of the reasons. I think it’s just a Dr’s preference so can’t see it doing any harm, maybe just try it for a month anyway. I found that something new was always helpful to keep me going.

AFM: all going well, today is the first day I have only thrown up once, nice for a change. Having our first scan next Friday, nothing else to report though.

Hope you are all well and coping with the rollercoaster. Very anxiously awaiting lots of BFP’s. Good luck to all, chat soon.

What do you mean by dpo? I hope its a good sign then with my boobs not hurting.I hope and pray i dont start tomarrow! Crossing my fingers,thank you for your support? everyone on this web site seems to be so nice.

Sorry Linda, the abreviations can be quite confussing at first. I was asking how many "Days Past Ovulation" you are? Fingers crossed AF does not show!

Hi Keli

All is going ok here today. Not as scarey as I thought it would be. It helps that I'm not "friendly" with the other staff members here. So I didn't need to explain myself.

No news from Tammara yet?

How are you with M/S? Hope it's not too bad for you. Good luck for your scan Friday.

Hi Porsche,

Glad to hear it is not going too bad, yes I often wonder what would be better, people knowing or people not knowing. You are so brave. How's your body recovering?

Nope, still no news from Tammara, I'm hoping that's a good sign.

Honestly I really can't complain about the ms, it is my reminder that this is all real, it's really not too bad anyway, it's quite frequent but goes again quite quickly. Thanks, will let you know how we go next week.

Take care of yourself, chat soon!

Hello to all! Hope you enjoyed or are enjoying the weekend!

Porsche - Thinking of you today returning to work, but sounds like it has gone fairly smoothly so far. Just remember we are here if you need to vent or whatever. Hugs

Tammara - Thinking of you too. I hope you are ok. Please let us know. x

Keli - Glad to hear all is well for you.

Bec - Where is your BFP post?!!!

Saffy - Welcome! I have always taken Clomid on days 3-7 - no idea why but that is what the GYNO/OBS said to do & I now that I ovulate prior to CD 21 as I have gotten a progesterone test a few times throughout my cycle & it confirms that I am. My cycle has shortened to 28/29 days now. Prior to Clomid it was all over the place.

Linda -Fingers crossed for you. When will you do a test?

Claudette - Hello! Hope you are well.

AFM - AF showed up at some ridiculous time this morning - it was still dark..... I knew she would show up after my neg test yesterday. So I went to the GYNO this morning & he has scheduled a lap & dye study on the 25th May - this was the soonest I could get in. In the meantime he has given me another prescription for Clomid but I am going 'rouge' and not going to take it, just going to take Vitex.

Be back later to check in on Tammara.

Hugs to all

Hi Again

I'm so over the bleeding. It's driving me insane. FX it settles in the next week. Then on to our last clomid cycle. I don't think I'm brave I'm just coping. I think we've all waited so long I'm just not ready to give up. I've proved to myself I can do it so we CAN do it again.

I'm stalking this site for news that Tammara is OK.

I'm glad your M/S is manageable. There is nothing worse than not coping with it. You've only got a little longer to wait and hopefully it will be gone altogether and then it will all just happen for you.

LOL we must have been posting at the same time. Bugger AF she is so not welcome. Does the Vitex keep you regular? Oh that sounds funny. I kept going with the clomid to keep my cycles regular during my lap. Who knows when she would have returned?

Hey Julia, so sorry to hear AF arrived, that is fantastic news about the lap though, just might be what you need. Yeah I had a break from Clomid leading up to my lap, I think it really helped me to relax, and in actual fact it turns out I managed to O 2 months in a row without Clomid.

Oh Porsche, I'm so sorry you are still bleeding, that sux big time. I too hope it settles down for you soon.

Just poped in to say i have my ultrasound at 3 so no news as yet. Thanks for your wishes and thoughts

Thinking of you Tammara, praying for massively sticky vibes for you. GL love!

Had my ultrasound and to my absolute amazement baby is wiggling around doing fine! With the amount of blood i lost and the clots i was 100% sure i m/c. Thank you so much for your positive thoughts. It was another hemorage i think it was Subchorionic Hemorage which is what happened last time, so unfortunately i think it may happen again.

Im so happy right now, even hubby had a cry when we seen him - im saying its a boy cos he is being a tyical naughty little boy lol

Yay that is fantastic news! I'm really happy for you.

Hi girls,
Tammara- hope you're ok hon, and all is well. Thinking of you.

Porsche- All we can ask of ourselves is to cope, I think. And I'm glad you are. Coping IS being brave though.

Keli- I can imagine the m/s is comforting in an odd sort of way! How far are you along now?

Julia- sorry AF arrived! Damn witch she is too! I'm glad you got in for your lap though, you've wanted that for a while? Maybe it will turn up the answers you want.

Linda & Saffy- it seems as if everyone takes it at different times. I've alwasy been 5-9, but I think it depends on your FS. (This months I actually took it 6-10 becasue I forgot to buy a new lot!)

AFM- I did another test this moring and the line is slightly darker (I could be deluding myself though!lol) but it came up much quicker this time. AF is due tomorrow, so I'm totally hoping all is well and the next week doesn't end everything. I must admit though, that I feel good about this one. I even convinced myself I was feeling queasy today! Keli- if all goes ahead I'd be due on 28th Dec (although I would have a ceasar 2 weeks before that). But I am not counting my chickens yet, as they say!

I'll pop in later to see how Tammara is going,
Bye for now,
Bec

Yey yey yey Tammara, I am so happy for you that is so exciting! I am so releaved! That trully is a miracle baby you have it there, must be a true fighter! Congrates!

THAT IS BRILLIANT! Tammara, I'm glad the hand of fate has tipped your way. Hugs for you!

Wow this seems like the place to be, lots of good news around at the moment, hope everyone else is going to follow!

Thanks for your advice everyone, I think I will "do my own thing", i used to work for an Obs/Gynae and he didn't give a rats so to speak when people took clomid in the first week, so I'm confident to try something new without official approval. Can't be bothered talking to my FS as he is only in my town once a fortnight and its too hard to get in contact with him.

Bec- great news about two lines keep it up xx
Julia-sorry AF arrived, she's a pain literally, good luck w lap xx
Tammara-sounds like you have a strong baby there, glad you saw a heartbeat xx
Porsche-glad work went ok, it is better if everyone doesn't know your whole life story, you can escape from the pain for a while as well xx
Keli- good luck for your scan, hope the morning sickness is bearable, as muchas we all want it, I imagine it is still horrible xx
RhiChiChi- lots of people swear by Vitex, hope it does the trick xx
Linda-hi hope your cycle becomes less confusing, it is hard to get your head around it when things keep changing, our bodies like to keep us guessing , well mine sure does anyway! xx

Just read back on posts, congratulations bec a second line is still a line even if its faint :)

Sorry to hear about AF Rhi but hope your lap and dye goes well and gives you some answers

Still on cloud nine, again thanks for your well wishes

Fingers crossed for everyone in here.
