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.
Living in Scotland sucks cos I miss all the excitement as it happens! I get to read the emails when you guys are all tucked up in bed and there's noone around to play with!
Porsche - I know what u mean about being so over the bleeding. Mine lasted for almost 2 weeks and it was a constant reminder! Pig! Hope your first day back went ok.
Tammara - you must be so excited. Fingers crosses all your stress is over x
Bec - You must be so excited inside. Hoping your queasiness is real - strange thing to wish on someone - but u know what I mean.
Keli - hope you are doing well x
Saffy - you sound brave!
AFM Back to work today. Boo! AF has arrived but so slowly so don't know if it's still day 1 or day 2. It's all so confusing sometimes.
Is it normal for me to have such low progesterone levels one month (5) and fairly high (42) the month before?
Think I'm having a bit of a down day. And I felt like a rotten human being today - my stage partner (and really good friend) is 16 weeks pregnant and she seems to have blossomed over the last 2 week holiday. And one of the other teachers came in with his laptop to show us his beautiful 2 week old baby girl. I am truly delighted for both, but I did feel a tinge of jealousy. That's not right.
Anyway, putting it down to just about to jump on the clomid rollercoaster!
Sorry for moaning!
Claudette
It ok i started my period today the 19 of april.I just have to call the nurse and tell her when i started my period so they can make me a calendar of when to start my clomid pills and when to start the ovulation kit.Which is day 10 the doctor wanted me to start testing. He up the dose to 100 mg this month.im kind of nervous ,taking the chance of having twins.The higher the dose.I start taking the clomid this wed which will be my 3rd day in my cycle till day 7 of my cycle . crossing my fingers again it works this month.I wasent sure if it was true to have intercourse every other day after you get a + on the ovulation kit.My doctor said to have intercourse the day after i get a postive the next day. Has anyones doctor told them that,or should we have intercourse the day i get the postive on the ovulation? it just frustrating when you have been trying so long to convice and it feel like the medicine not working.Maybe with a stronge dose i might get lucky this month. thank you all of you for being so supportive.:
Clamgee- I love scotland, actually concieved one of my pregnancies there, have a lot of good memories from my travels...sorry you feel you miss out, we get to wake up and read your emails though! Don't feel bad about a tinge of jealousy- I get a roaring tidal wave of jealousy/bitterness/envy/hatred whenever anyone I know gets pregnant (exceptions for a few loved girlfriends, some of who had a hard journey too) I even cried when I heard Danni Minogue was pregnant! Its wrong, but I have resigned myself to feeling like this until I get my BFP. Then you get the guilts for being such a terrible person, I have taked it over with my counsellor, because I felt so bad about it. You sound like a lovely , kind person so don't be so hard on yourself, I heard someone say on another thread the situation we are in is whats terrible, not us. Sorry AF arrived, you count day1 as the first day of red blood, don't know if that helps xx
Linda-you can have intercourse any day from getting a positive result, you are most likely to ovulate (and concieve) in the 24-36 hours after the +, I always try to do it every day when I get a + OPK but every second day would be ok. Go for it! Good luck x
I'm still waiting for AF, still spotting, so :angry: with my body, I woke up at midnight last night just after I'd fallen asleep and cried for an hour thinking about everything, I even accidently woke DH up now he is stressed about me crying all the time, I don't want him to be burdened with my moods, poor guy. Oh well, I will feel better when AF arrives and I can start my clomid again, am thinking of throwing in the towel soon and starting IVF, will talk it over with DH this week, i think its inevitable.
Thank you so much for the good advice.I will try it the next day after the postive and see if that works every other day.Wish me luck.Im so glad i found this wed site there so many people that are going through the same thing trying to concive and it does get a little frustrating and upset sometime.Good thing i found people like all you to be supportive. thanks to:D all of you again.Wish me luck this month.:
Morning all,
Hi Bec, I am now 5 weeks & 2days, so still very early but ms is ripe as so I’m pretty happy. Yey yey yey, can’t wait till next Tuesday for you, then you can come and join my other thread.
Saffy, have you been TTC for 5 years? Wow that is a long time. Yes IVF may be a good plan at this stage. Hope you’re feeling a little better this morning after letting some emotions out.
Claudette, don’t feel like a bad person for being jealous, it is such a natural reaction. You’re not asking for others not to fall PG you are just asking for you to fall PG, IYKWIM (if you know what I mean).
Linda, I was ALWAYS told to have intercourse every second day once I got a positive OPK, but the one month we ignored the professionals and DTD everyday was the month we finally conceived, and I have heard of this happening quite a lot. Totally up to you but just thought I would give my 2 cents worth.
Hello to everyone else. GL to all this month, can’t wait to read some more BFP’s, I will be lurking!
Hi Keli,
No haven't been TTC for 5 years thank god! I would be in an asylum by now. My DH and I haven't been together for very long but due to our age started trying at the start of last year, got preg straight away and m/c, now it has been 16mths.Sometimes I feel if I had never gotton preg in the first case we probably would have gotton help earlier and have a baby by now but I stubbornly thought i could do it myself!! Crazy I know!! :D
Thanks for your thoughts xx
I went for a walk this morning and AF turned up thank god, can start afresh now nad yea I feel better thanks!
5 wks and 2 days is hard isn't it? You feel like each day is a lifetime, if you have good ms it sounds promising!
Hey all,
Sorry I didn't have a chance to come back on yesterday.
Tammara - So happy for you hun! I'm sure you & DH were a wreck prior to going in for your scan. Sending you tons of sticky vibes and growing dust for bubs.
Porsche - I didn't take Vitex long enough to notice any change, but I have been told not to take it whilst taking Clomid, so there must be a similarity in the two or something like that? Dunno! Maybe I should do the 'right thing' and take it...hmmm undecided now! lol
Claudette - Sorry to hear you are still bleeding, I hope it settles down soon for you.
I feel like that sometimes too, even when I wasn't on Clomid, it's just worse now on Clomid :S
Keli - Yay for m/s - well not really but YKWIM?!
Linda - Best of luck for this cycle. I've only ever shown to O on the lowest dose of Clomid, so not sure why the difference between the cycles? I was told to BD every second day from CD 10 to CD 21. It didn't work but I think there is something else going on 'down there' for me. Please stay positive!
Bec - Best of luck hun. Sounds like AF won't be showing up for at least 9 months - woo hoo!
Oh Saffy I feel the exact same way today. I'm actually having a moment right now. DH was being an ass last night and also again this morning about me being moody. I know I'm a moody person but he doesn't help the fact that he just annoys me all the time. He's always putting his hands on or in my face always smaking me because he says I've been naughty. Look I know it's in a loving way but when I am moody I snap at him and I'm mean to him.:
I know I'm doing this stuff and I really can't help it. I know I'm being mean and moody I don't want to be like that but I really don't know how to stop. I do this stuff before I even think. I feel like such a terrible person because he so doesn't deserve it. He really is very good to me and that's how I behave.
DH goes away in July for about 6-7 weeks. That is really going to dissrupt out TTC chances. Do we even bother to try before or do we wait until he is back. I'm really having doubts today. I'm doing the why me's, it's not fair etc....
I don't want to stop trying. We came sooo close only to fail. I never ever thought I would have a MC. Those things happen to other people not to yourself. And I know logically it was nothing that I did that caused it but you just can't help but think was I not happy enough that I was pregnant, maybe I should have lost this extra 6kgs I've put on.
I thought about writting DH a letter I'm better at expressing myself in writting. I really have no one but you guys to talk to about this stuff. I feel a bit isolated. I did have a best friend but we had a falling out about 9 months ago and I haven't spoken to her since. I have never had heaps of friends well not ones that are close. So I really am in it on my own so to speak.
Any way as I said just having a moment. I'll get over it. It's onwards and upwards from here.
Clamgee - I wouldn't worry about feeling the way you do. I feel exactly the same at the moment.
Hello we tryed that last month and when i got a+ and it didnt work for me.Thank you for the advice will think about trying that again that way.Have you heared of anyone conciving on trying it every other day? Does it really help to lay down for 15 mins after intercourse with a pillow under your hips or its that does a wise tale.? thank you .:
Thank you for the advice. i was on clomid a long time ago but i have a different doctor now .He does things different.I used to take the clomid days 5-9 but now the doctor said to take it on days 3-7.Does it really matter what days you take the clomid on.I seem to have gotten pregant on the days i took the clomid 5-9 and my old doctor told us once we got a + on the ovulation kit to have intercourse for 3 days in a row.So thats why i was confused using the clomid this time on days 3-9? And they way the doctor said to have intercourse every other day after the + ovulation kit.Thought it was werid but we tryed it and it didnt work this month. crossing my fingers and hopeing for alot of baby dust and prayers !thanks:
Hi Girls,
Oh Porsche, I just want to give you a hug! I think you have every right to feel a bit pee'd off with the world, and you need to work through it in your own time. I'm sure that everyone here has felt a bit the same as you at some stage, I'm sometimes horrible to DH for months on end, becasue I just feel so dissapointed that I can't get UTD and that I have no control over it. Have you thought about getting in contact with your old BF? I know what you mean about having no one to talk to: my BF is not even contemplating having kids, she hates kids, so I can't even mention things to her without a very clinical unhelpful response. My sis is great though, even though she doesn't really understand, she listens and nods at the appropriate times!
Just a quick update on me: I think things are going well. My boobs are sore, like achy and I am definately nauseous(sp?) at times. I have funny little twinges in my tummy, like the pain when you stretch too far. I'm just terrified everytime I go to the loo; I close my eyes and peek to see if AF has arrived! I guess I can officially say I am 4 weeks UTD, but will I get to 5? I'm heading to GP on Thursday for BT to see how the levels are.
Sorry for the rambly post!
Bec
I think it is perfectly normal to have all the emotions your feeling least of all the jelousy.
I think im going blind, i know i read a post (maybe from saffy) about going onto IVF. Just to let you know that there is a step before IVF, its called IUI - basicly the same as ivf but instead of taking your eggs out and fertalising them they just insert hubbys sperm directly into you. But if you have any questions about IVF im no expert but would be happy to try and answe any questions you have. My advise would be to make an appointment asap even just to have a chat. I went through Dr Mac Talbot and found him wonderful and his nurse is awesome too.
Time to get my self to bed now. Night
Hey hun, just want to you know that I have been where you have been & sometimes still go there. Just wanted to offer my support & huge hugs. x:
Tammara- thanks hon, it was me that said that, I might make an appt and go and ask about it, he (FS) wanted me to rush straight into IVF but I have taken a step back and we are giving clomid a few months to work. Thanks for your advice, I hope everything is still good with you? xx
Porsche- hope you are feeling better today? Have you considered talking to a counsellor? If you go to your gp and get a referral and mental health plan you get 12 sessions rebatable from medicare ( I pay $110 and get $70 back). I am not the type of person who is keen on counselling but my sister is a counsellor and forced me last year when I was really struggling and a bit of a mess, it is worthwwhile you can tell them anything and they are very supportive and helpful. Otherwise do you have sisters/aunties/mother you can talk to? You shouldn't face it alone and men sometimes don't/can't understand as much as women. Hugs to you xx
Good news Bec! Hope the symptoms keep getting stronger,its sounds great to me!
:
I finally got the nurse to test me on the 21 day.I dont know why they didnt want too. Im taking on clomid 100 mg.Im kind of nervous i heared it can cause you to have twins.Thats scary.Has anyone been on clomid and only concived 1 baby or had had twins. I start my clomid tomarrow the 21 and then wait till the 10 th day to start testing. thank linda
** sneaking in from another TTC thread **
:hello: girls!
I thought I would stick my head in to ask some advice... I'm on my 2nd cycle of 50mg Clomid (first time I took it from CD5-9, this cycle from CD2-6).
First time round I didn't really experience any symptoms - only some hot flushes every now and then - I ovulated on CD17 which is the earliest I've ever ovulated in a cycle in 12 months.
As of today (I'm CD4 and taken 2 tablets) I'm feeling dizzy, nauseous, shaky... has anyone else had these type of symptoms? Please tell me this is normal............
Thanks girls!!!
:bluedust::pink-babydust::bluedust::pink-babydust:
** sneaks back out again **
i have decided if we dont catch an egg on this cycle i wont be going again.. i have been on 100mg of clomid and it has turned me in to a raging biatch! im not willing to put my marriage on the line... so we will just go back to hoping and praying that we can pick O if and when i do..
Elocin no i havent had those symptoms but i have had LOTS of hot flushes...
Hi ladies,
Just a quick pop in to give Porsche a MASSIVE hug, oh love, please do not feel along we have all had these times we have gone through. Remember we are your support network and are always here to listen, so vent away.
Hope today has brought you something good.
Take care, chat soon.
:
Hey hun, yeah my symptoms have gotten worse the longer I have been on Clomid. Today for example is CD 3 & I should be taking it today but have decided to forgo this cycle. Anyway I am sitting here with severe hot flushes and have been suffering from insomnia AGAIN! Am over it!
I havent got that many symptoms. A few hot flushes and possibly a headache. I think I have been lucky :/
Elocin :hug:
Hi girls,
Elocin- I have had all the symptoms you have mentioned plus more! I don't always get them though. Ironically, the two worst months I've had those symptoms I've gotten pregnant!
Oorki G- I know what you mean about the moods. I am usually the ***** monster from hell during and after clomid until I o! DH is really good, and I try to apologise if he really cops it.
Porsche- Hope you're feeling a bit better today.
Everyone else, I hope you're travelling ok.
AFM- I've decided to go and get a blood test tomorrow and see how that goes. Maybe if I see HCG numbers looking good I'll feel like this is actually happening. I've gone and let myself be excited now! I'll let you know how I go.
Bye for now,
Bec
Hey bec i got so hooked on getting my HCG levels, with the IVF they had me doing blood tests for 4 or 5 weeks straight. It was really hard when they stopped because i liked knowing that the levels were going up. Hope you get good numbers :D
hope everyone else is doing ok on the clomid, i didnt get many symptoms from it only really hot flushes. I think it is different for every woman.
Big hugs for the ladies that are feeling a bit down, try not to get down on yourself for having thoughts its totally natural xxoo
Time for a new thread ladies! (already!)
