    Keli - I buy 'Zinc Drink' from Metagenics, which you can only get from a naturopath. It's worth getting the good stuff as you never know what the quality of the stuff is like from the chemist. Good luck in your 2ww. I hope it flies past quickly for you and we get some good news from you

    Morning Ladies,

    Hey Porsche, thanks so much for having a look at my chart for me, yeah so I’m thinking that I O’d in the evening of day 16 cos that’s when I had the really bad O pains. Temp has had another massive jump this morning but this is basically what happened last month too so I think that is normal for me. Yes I am surprised that I have had 3 days of +OPK’s will see what happens today. No didn’t seem to notice anything different about my sleep, yes had a consistent 3 hours sleep. Hmmm anyway I guess it’s just onto the 2WW then isn’t it. How’s everything going with you now? You must be at least 8 weeks by now?

    Hey Mez, Cool thanks for the info on the zinc, might get DH back onto it shortly (if this month isn’t a goa).

    Hey Bec, GL for Sunday (ish) hope all goes well and you catch that little egg. Enjoy Easter away with DH & DS.

    GL to all coming up to O time, hopefully you will all be joining me soon in the 2WW and then hopefully there will be lots and lots of BFP’s on this site, that would be awesome. Hope everyone has a safe and happy Easter and tries not to stress yourselves out about this pickle that we are in!

    Hey Keli

    I'll be watching where FF puts your cross hairs. Hopefully it all falls into place this time for you. I'll be watching lol.

    I'll be 9 weeks on Saturday so its about 3 weeks till my 12 week scan. I had a dream the other night that I had twins lol 1 boy and 1 girl. I guess we'll see soon enough.

    Hey all,

    Sorry I have been MIA, been busy getting organised for Easter. We are hosting this year, so have to clean the house, tidy the garden and get food organised etc....

    Bec - Thanks for asking about me I have been using OPK's for the last three days and today it is noticeably darker (not the same colour as the control line) plus I got a tiny amount of EWCM, so I am predicting that I will O over the next few days. Hopefully DH is up for DTD - it's been a little while...!

    Hi to everyone else, gotta run again. Have a great Easter if I'm not able to get back on before then

    Hi everyone!
    Happy Easter! Started the day with a lovely chocolate easter egg!
    I've come to the conclusion that my body is playing tricks on me!! I think wanting to be pregnant triggers somethin in my brain to make me believe that my boobs are sore and I'm having cramps! Period is not due for another week, but I seem to be having these 'symptoms'. Fingers crossed for us all this month. If I am unsuccessfull, I'm about to start round 4 of Clomid. I must have taken one tablet too many in one of the cycles and i'm only left with 4 tablets to take next week. Does anyone think this will make a difference? I go to see me fertility specialist beginning of June - so thought I would just wait till then. I'm heading to Spain next week, will have to take stuff in case period arrives, pregnancy test before starting Clomid, and the Clomid -gone are the days of just packing suncream and hair straighteners!
    Good luck to everyone this month - it's been a long one!!

    Hi girls!
    Hope you all had a wonderful Easter and a good break from hecticness (if that's a word!).
    Rhi- hope the easter hosting went well. The worst thing about hosting is you have to clean up before and after the event, but the bonus is you can have a champers or two!
    Clamgee- Wow, Spain! That will be amazing! Fingers crossed for you that AF doesn't turn up.
    AFM: I am thinking I must be about to ovulate. A bit of EWCM today and crampy since yesterday. Looks like o has moved back to day 23/24 now, silly thing! Oh well. At least I can guarantee Af will be here 14 days after that (or not arrive, which would be even better!).
    Hope you are all relax and ready for the week,
    Bye,
    Bec

    Morning Ladies,

    I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter, relaxing and enjoying time with family.

    Porsche, ha ha how good would twins be? I know I’d be wrapped, GL for your 12 week scan coming up.

    Julia, hope your Easter hosting went well. And what about O’ing, did that happen over Easter also? Fingers crossed for you.

    Claudette, ha ha yes don’t you love the ‘fake’ pregnancy symptoms your body gives off. Fingers crossed they are not fake for you this month. As for taking 4 Clomids, do you think you could phone your FS and get them to send you a new script for Clomid, just tell them you have lost your old one. I’m just thinking that they probably get you to take it for 5 days for a reason, totally up to you though love. Have fun in Spain!

    Bec, Wow you really do O late don’t you? I used to O that late before my opp, but now I’m back around day 14-17.

    AFM: Currently on day 24, 8 DPO well I think so anyway. I am also sick today which I am not happy about. My big sister is getting married on the 17th of April (less than 2 weeks away) and I am her matron of honour. I am hosting her Hens party (a mad hatter’s tea party) this weekend at my house, so truly cannot afford to be sick right now.

    Anyway so my question this morning is, I have thrown up twice this morning and have put this down to being sick (don’t normally throw up when I am getting a cold). Is it possible to get morning sickness this early? Or am I doing a Claudette and just hoping that I am? He he!

    Hope everyone else is doing well. GL for those coming up to O time, and fingers crossed to the 2WWers. Some good news on this site this month would be fantastic.

    Hi Ladies

    I hope you all had a great easter break. It's back to the grind stone today grrr.

    Keli - FF hasn't put your cross hairs in yet. I would have thought it would have by now hmmm wonder what's going on?

    As for your M/S question I have no idea as mine didn't kick in until I reached 6 weeks. But I guess it is possible. FX it is! Your temps are nice an high so hopefully they stay that way.

    Hi ladies

    Keli - Oooohh a hen's party - how much fun. Hope you feel better soon so you can kick up your heels. My nausea didn't kick into week 5 (no vomiting yet thank god!), so maybe your chuck was from being sick, but you never know. My friend at work had severe m/s from pretty much the moment she conceived until the day she gave birth. GL and let's hope this is the cycle that does it for you.

    Claudette - deffers get some more clomid so you can finish your 5 day course - god knows what those hormones will do to you if you don't take them as prescribed. I remember when I was in Spain you could buy antibiotics without a script, so maybe you can buy clomid over there from the pharmacy.

    Bec - GL with your 2ww - I hope this time your baby dance brings you a baby.

    Hi everyone!

    I hope your Easter was great. Mine was, although a bit hectic with hosting!

    Claudette - I would get another script too. I have to take the five tablets, so it must be a standard prescription thing to do on Clomid? Have an awesome time in Spain - so jealous! We wanted to go to Spain when we were in Europe but couldn't fit it all in!

    Bec - I definately had a few wines, which made me relax a bit! GL catching that egg!

    Keli - I never had m/s when pg but my gf was throwing up straight away, so it could very much be a sign. I wouldn't think a common cold would make you throw up. Fingers crossed. When will you test?

    Porsche - Hope you are well

    AFM - OPK showed a + on CD 15, so I take it that I am officially in the tww (CD 17). I won't test until CD 29, so have about two weeks to wait - hope it flies by ;P

    Have a great week all

    Hi girls!
    Keli- I hope that it is moring sickness! I as told that if you are sick early on, one of those early HPT will show a positive too, becasue the hormone levels will be high. Good luck any way.
    Julia- I think I am o'ing either yesterday or today, so I'm also 2WWing as of today ish.
    ahurani- so sorry about not o'ing. Don't worry though, chances are they'll just up your does and it will help. I didn't o on 50mg one month, so they uped it to 100mg. Not sure if your PCOS, but apparently clomid response can be inconsistent from month to month if you are. GL!
    Porshe- hope you are travelling well and not feeling too rotton with m/s. I often dream that I have twins and triplets! Don't know why, but DH is a bit worried! One baby would be plenty!
    AFM- pretty sure oing is occurring as I type (figuratively speaking!), so I'm hoping that the excessive DTD will be enough. We're going for the every day thing too. So much for not being in mood...DH doesn't know what hit him! rofl

    any who, best be off. I love holidays, but I feel bad if DS and I are still in our PJ's when DH comes home, so I better go and shower!

    Hey Keli

    Fingers crossed your body is super sensitive and you are preg. Personally about 2 or 3 days after my egg transfer i started feeling extremely tired, im not sure if this was because i was preg already or just exhausted. So i have hopes that you are preg good luck

    hey bec

    im going really well still feeling pretty lucky no morning sickness as yet - just get a bit seedy when i dont eat (good excuse to keep snacking lol )

    Im 9 weeks 4 days now so cant wait to get to that 12 week scan to make sure everything is going well, cant wait to feel something going on in there so i can be sure im actually preg. At the moment its still like a dream cos im not really having symptoms other than tiredness and tender boobs.

    Hope your all going ok and coming up to O time lots of luck to you all xxoo

    Morning Ladies,

    Sorry I have been MIA for a few days, very unlike me I know. I have been off work, sick.

    Porsche, yes I don’t know what is going on with FF, I thought they would have put cross hairs in by now, I think they are in debate because I didn’t have much mucus around O time so I think they are confused. That’s ok, I’m almost positive I O’d around day 16 so I’m not too stressed.

    Mez, thanks for the advice, hope all is going well for you, looking forward to hearing good news from your 12 week scan.

    Ahurani, what dose Clomid where you on? And what round? Sorry to hear you didn’t O. Feels like such a waist of time doesn’t it? Hopefully they get the dosage right next month, fingers crossed for you.

    Julia & Bec, Thanks to both of you for the info on ms, yes fingers crossed hey. GL for your 2WW’s, we can all be 2WW buddies, well at least for a few days anyway. Looking forward to hearing some positive news from you both very soon.

    Thanks to you too Tammara, will let you know how it all goes.

    AFM: Ok so I ended up throwing up 3 times on Tuesday, had yesterday off work sick and slept till 10.30am and has no sickness at all (Oh yeah and I also did a PG test yesterday which came up BFN). So I had just put the throwing up down to being sick. But…..then again this morning I have thrown up at work, not feeling too bad at the moment. So….I really don’t know what to think at the moment. My stomach has been cramping like crazy for 4 or 5 days now. Will test again tomorrow, but who knows hey. I am currently on day 26 so still could be too early for a BFP, here’s hoping hey?

    Fingers crossed to those in there 2WW and GL for those egg catchers out there.
    Hope all you ladies in your pregnancies are going well and hopefully we will all be joining you very soon.
