LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin #3

:

---

Just informed by my doc that she'd like to try Clomid/Met on me.

I am borderline PCOS but not actually, my testosterone and has always been very high but my other levels are just below typical PCOS. I've always had pretty regular periods. In fact, our first baby was suuuper easy--we got pregnant first month we tried (and I was almost 38). This time we've tried for about 8 months, and as I've just turned 41 and my hormones are borderline challenging, she's suggested we give this a go.

We're super lucky to have our DD, and if this doesn't work we won't be doing IVF or anything any more "invasive" than trying these pills. I am however worried about the mood swings and how "invasive" even that will be on my relationship. Reading this helped me. I am not scared, just know that my hormones already tend me to some trouble about a week before my period anyhow. I will have to talk to him and ask him to help me through this.

Welcome! I hope that you get super speedy results on Clomid & Met. You will get tons of info & support, which you will need when starting Clomid - as you would have read some of the side effects are shocking. Just post away & we'll be here to get you through :)

Morning Ladies,

Pumpgirl, glad the info could help. Totally agree with not letting TTC run your life, I found this very hard however, good on you. GL for your BT today, any luck with the Lysine?

Bec, ooooooh nauseous hey? That is always a good sign, have you had it in the past when you’ve tested positive?

Porsche, any sign of AF yet? Cant wait for you to get started with IVF.

Miss Kris, GL with your O BT results, fingers crossed it will be your first of 2 positives this month, IYKWIM. Oh that is fantastic news about your cousin, congratulations to her and her DH. They say that having a bub can clear things up, fingers crossed hey!

Rhi, how’s everything going with you hun? When does IVF start?

BumBumG, welcome to this wonderful forum. I hope your stay is short and sweet.

AFM: I firstly just wanted to say….I am hooked on this thread. I can’t stop reading it and putting my 2 cents worth in, I truly hope that I am not offending anyone by doing this. I truly do understand the journey you are all travelling as TTC was a very long journey for us too. I just can’t wait for you all to get that long awaited BFP which I know you will all get. If I am upsetting anyone by continuing to post, please let me know and I will not be offended in the slightest. I try not to give too regular updates on myself, I just update when asked. Please do not feel that any of you have to ask about how I am going though, I have another forum to talk about myself, lol, but am also happy to answer any questions you may have. I just like to hang around and help wherever possible, support where needed and just be another listening ear.
Please let me know if this makes anyone uncomfortable and I will stop immediately.

Nah, I love the 'graduates' hanging around. We have all been through so much together :)

Keli - I love hearing from you! So don't feel bad about posting here still, plus its always good to use you as an example of see it will happen to us, iykwim?! :)

BumBumG - Welcome!! Hope your stay is short!!

Porshe - GL with the first round! Hopefully things work for you!!

Well, this morning it got the better of me...i tested...it was a BFN which i was totally expecting, i actually poas and then this voice in my head goes "kristina you idiot you know its going to be negative!! its too early! try again in a couple of days" lol so i went to bed without even looking at the test. When i came back for a shower i had a quick peek then binned it... but surprisingly, it didn't upset me too much cos i know it was way too early! lol FX that its a positive on thursday morning! lol

Also, does anyone here chart? I just noticed that yesterday and day before i was having really bad cramps, and then this morning i had a temp drop from 36.8 which it has been the last few days to 36.6. Its still above the cover line, and as i am techincally 10DPO i wonder if its an implantation dip? WTYT?

---

Funny how you just know that a test will be negative..... GL for the next time when you test - FX

I used to chart & it did my head in - my temps never showed a definate rise high enough to confirm O.... It could be an implantation dip, but it will be easier to tell when comparing over the next couple of days.


AFM - Well I have been avoiding this b/c I know alot of you have been having a rough tot but I am UTD... I actually took a pg test Sunday arvo and a feint second line come up.

This was the chain of events:

DH: Hands me the pg test which has three tests in it - he knows I couldn't possibly only use one!

Me: POAS....

DH: 2 seconds later - 'What's the verdict?'

Me: 'It's not three minutes yet, so we have to wait a bit more' (checking the test in the meantime my heatbeat raises a little when I see a very feint line in the test window but tell myself it is probably an evap line like last time.

Me: Keep cleaning the bathroom then go check the time & it's been just over three minutes....

Me: Yell to DH ' Well there are two lines....' then go back to cleaning the shower

DH: "What?!' 'Geez that was a casual announcement'

Me: 'Yeah, well when you have been through what we have (4 m/c & 21 mths of ttc # 2) it's hard to get excited'

DH: 'Well I am really excited! When is your due date?'

Me: (calculating in my head) 'Sometime in March'...... hop on internet to confirm dates... 'Looks like approx. 22nd/23rd March & it will be an Aries baby. Looks up if mine & DH star sign is compatible - which it is not ;P

So, apart from you guys we have told nobody, not even our parents or sibilings. I am disbelief, shock even and keep looking at the test incase the line disappears. I am also terrified of having another m/c, but DH is being extremely optimistic and his positivity is somewhat additive. I have not even cancelled our FS appt for the 28th July nor made an appt with the OBS. I would usually ring up & get a referral from the Dr's straight away but that's another thing I haven't done. I have no PS - am feeling very well apart from some on & off cramping which I had with DD.

I hope that my post has not upset you, I was trying to hold off for as long as possible but knew that it would be too difficult as I am on 'CD 36'.

I hope that I can hang around at least until our first u/s which will be around 7 weeks.
The other things that is a bit eerie is I was thinking about what the psychic said to me & she kept quoting the pantene ad ' it won't happen over night but it will happen' All along I was thinking she meant doing IUI (equivalent) but then at yoga one of the women said the same quote and I did this double take then laughed it off..... now I am thinking maybe that was my queue to confirm it?

Thinking of you all & I just want to say thank-you so much for being such good friends. I really couldn't have gotten through this without all of you.

Good luck with the needles. The only advice i can give you is to take it slow the first time and even though my dr said to change sides with every needle i found it didnt hurt on my left side but it did on my right side so i stuck with the left - just bruised more but no pain. Im sure you will perfectly fine though. fingers crossed for you xxoo

Jules - CONGRATULATIONS...!!!!! THAT'S AWESOME. I am so happy for you hun. I think that everyone will be happy to hear one of us has made it across to the other side no matter what we are individually going through at that moment - so sad you had to keep it in for four long days (how cute is your story - nearly brought me to tears)!!!! It really is lovely news and I hope that this one sticks and you have a safe and wonderful PG xxxx PS does that mean you get to cancel your apt with Monashbabies??

Bumbumg - Welcome to the forum, like the other girls, I hope your stay here is short and you are UTD quickly. I am fairly new to this forum too, but have found it to be most helpful and a great way to see what others are going through and share your frustration and burden. Everyone is so friendly and supportive and I am sure you will find it as helpful as I have.

Keli - Definitely love your input and would like to hear how your going too. You are very knowledgeable in this area so your contribution is extremely valuable in my eyes :-)

Porsche - So is this your first round of IVF? If so how are you feeling about everything? Good luck hun!!

Big hello's to everyone else!

I knew you were pg Rhi :D

just quickly popped in to say CONGRATULATIONS Rhi!! :)

ARRRRRRRRRR JULES I am SOOOOOOO EXCITED for you! Wow that is incredible, 3 BFP's in 2 weeks, I knew something was on the horizon here. LOVE the story of how it unravelled too hun. So are you about 4weeks then? Wow so exciting I can’t stop smiling. EVERYTHING is crossed that this is your sticky one you've been waiting for. So was this naturally or via IUI? Sorry I lost track here a little.

Massive congrates to you and DH honey, please keep up posted on everything. I am wishing you and long, healthy and happy pregnancy!

Xxoo

Jules- I thought you'd been a little quiet! My total and heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS! I know exactly how you feel about letting people know. I reckon this is your time, your earth bound baby. It's time for you, I think. Sticky vibes for you and a huge congratulatory hug!! We'd love to stay in the loop. As you told Keli, we like to hear from the "graduates"! It's funny, I always thought I'd be Belly Buddies with you...I don;t kow why! It might happen...:)

:pink-babydust: to everyone else!
Bec

Oh oh ohhhhhhhhhh i cant beleive i didnt read your post before i replied to porsche. Im so happy for you rhi and i will keep everything crossed so hard for you and hubby. Maybe its my hormones or im just a big softy but i did have a little happy cry for you i cant wait for more bfp for you lovely ladies, good luck to you all xxoo

Hi all,

I am overwhelmed from all of your comments & have tears streaming down my face. I can't write how I am feeling without blubbering but am so glad to have joined this thread with all of you lovely ladies. I hope that you all can join us grads - now that would really make my day :)

Pumpgirl - Yeah, will probably cancel that appt with monashbabies but I am too scared to! I will call them tomorrow to discuss & see what they say. I think I will cancel it to remain in a positive frame of mind plus I didn't have to wait that long to book in & my referral is still current if we have to go down that path.

Keli - Not sure exactly b/c I don't know when I O but based on my LMP I am pretty much 4 weeks, so early days. This was a natural conceive - must have been the lap that flushed out my tubes or something plus probably helped that i have lost weight & took Clomid the months prior.

Ahurani - I was trying hard not to give too much away plus we have NEVER told anyone this early. The earliest was 8 weeks & that was strictly family.

Kris - Thanks hon. Will be thinking of you over the next few days & crossing my fingers, toes everything for you.

Tammara - No worries, my post was a little long & I was going to post seperately then decided against it - thanks for the congratulations :)

Bec - I have everything crossed for you & would love you to be belly buddies with me. I am sending you tons of baby vibes. Like I said never say never!

I am not going to announce on the main thread. There is a girl in my mums group that posts on this site - I don't think she is aware we are on the same site but my user name could be a little bit of a giveaway, so I'll wait til I am more further along and probably have told family & then close friends.

Morning Ladies

OMG RhiChiChi! Massive congratulations. I wish you a huge happy and healthy pregnancy and I sincerely hope it is uneventful and you suffer terrible morning sickness IYKWIM? I'm sure this will be the sticky one you've so desperately waited for. You so deserve this!

It's you and me now Bec! We HAVE to GET OFF this merrigo round. It has to be our turn next yeah???

Tammara thanks for the tip. LOL DH thinks it's no big deal haha.

Pumpgirl -Yes this is my first IVF. I'm excited but also dissapointed we couldn't do it naturally but very very greatful to have the option to do IVF.

Rhi wow a big congratulations to you both n having an uneventful pg and you have a little bundle of joy in you arms in 8 months time. It is grreat to see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel of the TTC journey.

Sorry for a short one but doing this before work so I can get all the tears out of my system. I was sooo positive this month that I would be posting a BFP, but it wasn't to be :( . Off to the FS tomorrow for our 6 wk appointment and to discuss the FSH injections I will be having this cycle.

Sorry for the short one, babydust to everyone and again congrats Rhi.

I know Porsche! It's gotta be our time soon!
sorry, no persies, I'll come back after work,
Bec

Morning ladies!!
Just a quick one with a question maybe one of you could answer??
I rang the docs today to get my test results and apparently my progesterone level is 45...is this good? :) I know it means i ovulated!
But i just realised i don't know much about progesterone levels! lol
I couldn't help myself and POAS this morning and i once again berated myself and knew it was too early and was going to be neg and went back to bed! lol
Im so naughty! But yes, as i said to my MIL (who rang me at 10:01am cos she knew i was getting my results at 10am lol she is just as excited as me), even if i don't get preg this round, i am SO grateful that the clomid worked and i won't need to up the dosage or anything! :)
But yes it would be AWESOME if i could join you Ahurani, Hope & Rhi in BFP this month!! It would be amazing if we ALL did!! lol! :D

Hi girls. Just thought I would pop in and see how everyone was going. Was on this thread a while back and had 6 cycles of clomid - dye through tubes and then finally fell - all up trying almost 2 years. Anyway, thought I would let you know I had a girl at the end of March, Matilda.

Fingers crossed for you all still. This thread was the most supportive when it was needed.

Kris - I had similar readings whilst on Clomid but didn't fall pg - just my experience. I think the lap helped & being on Clomid for those 6 mths. GL

Hi there, I don't think I 'met' you but Congratulations on the birth of your little girl. Always nice ot hear positive stories :)

Hi everyone

Thought I better drop in and see what everyone has been up to and there is lots on here.

Rhi - Big Congrats on your wonderful news. Cheered me up reading about your wonderful news, Look forward to hearing updates from you for the next 8 months. The BFP's posted in here helps to remind me that it can happen.

Liz - Sorry to hear about your result this cycle. Good luck with your injections and FX'd that you will be posting a BFP really soon.

Miss Kris - I love that you are asking all these questions cause I want to know the answers too. We seem to be in similar situations but you are a couple of weeks ahead of me so I am learning a lot through your experiences and requests for info. Good to see that you O'd (Yay!!!) and hopefully you will get that BFP very soon.

Bec - Thanks for doing the list, hopefully it can be turned into a due date list for us all very soon (FX'd). How is the TWW going?

Keli - I love that you pop back in here as you always try and answer our questions and try and keep us all positive. How is the MS going? How far along are you now?

Porsche - I hope you and Bec are both belly buddies with Rhi soon too (and everyone else). FX'd that the IVF works this cycle.

Pumpgirl - The new business sounds interesting, hope it all goes to plan this time (something has to go to plan for us). How did the blood test go?

BumBumG - Welcome and hopefully this will be a quick journey for you.

Hope - How is everything going? Haven't heard from you for a while.

Hi to anyone I may have missed.

AFM: Well this week feels like it is dragging out, maybe because I am tired. Currently on CD19 and am looking for any little sign that I might be O'ing. Have been charting (Dr's request) but temps are still up and down and all over the place. Started doing Maybe test in mornings and for 2 mornings had partial ferning but then this morning nothing so don't know what is going on. Also doing afternoon OPK (overboard I know but I am determined not to miss anything) and the 2 days that had partial ferning I also had a feint line that has never been there before so was hoping that it might continue to darken over the next few days. Dr requested a BT at CD21 to see if I O'd but I think this may be too early. I thought it was meant to be 7 DPO, any help? Better get back to work, will come back soon.
Oh and hubby still hasn't witnessed a mood swing, no golf clubs swinging at him on Sunday so all is still good, lol.

:bluedust: :pink-babydust: :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: for everyone.

Shan

ShanShan can you post the link to your chart so i can have a little look? I might be able to help.

Porshe is very good at reading charts ShanShan, he he ! I highly reccomend her!

Hi ladies!
31bec- Congratulations on the birth of baby Matilda! Love the name, it's one of my favourites. I know I love to hear from ladies who've walked this path and succeeded so it's great to hear from you!

Porsche- I found that one side hurt more than the other with the injections too. I only had one big bruise and I know as soon as I put it in it wasn't quite right. I was more careful after that! It wasn't as bad as I thought though. GL!

Bumbumg- Great the have you in the thread. These ladies are the most lovely bunch of couragous women you'd 'meet' anywhere and the thread is incredible supportive to all who are here. Having said that, we do of course hope you graduate to a belly buddies forum ASAP! What day are you currently on? I can add you to the list if you like.

Kris- I can't help with the progestrone thing becasue I never actually got my tests back. They just said yes you have or no you haven't o'd. I'm guessing there is a fair range that's normal, but I can't be much help sorry! Yah for o'ing though!!!

Liz- So sorry you're feeling down. I know that heartbreak hon. You get such a good feeling and then BAM! AF arrives. hugs hon. When do you go the FS?

Shan- Hopefully Porsche is able to help with your charts. I can't help on that side, mine were all over the place when I charted, so I stopped doing it (naughty me!) Hopefully the BT will at least give you an indication. I had a BT on the day I ovulated once and it still showed that I ovulated.

Pumpgirl- How are you travelling? You must almost be heading to testing time?

Jules- Has it sunk in yet? I keep telling people you are pg, like they should know and be excited too! Have you been to the docs yet?

Tam- How are you? Love seeing your name pop up, so glad that all is still ok, and looking forward to seeing your birth announcement in the coming months!
Mez, Keli- that goes for you too as well.

Hope & Ahurani- Where are you guys up to? You both must be in the same BB thread, it's nice knowing someone in there! Hope you're both doing well.

AFM- I'm pretty sure I'm out for this month. I had some AF like pains today, still nauseous, but no sore BB's, which is a usual for me if I'm UTD. I will test in the morning, and once more SUnday if AF doesn't arrive (II just can't help it) but it doesn't feel like it's my month. I guess we should hold some BFP's over for next month hey?!! Just to be fair. I am so exxcited that we've had 3 in one month, and I can't wait for even more!
:loveshower:,:bluedust: &:stickyvibesgirl: to all!

Porshe is very good at reading charts ShanShan, he he ! I highly reccomend her!

---

Oww shucks lol.

I haven't started injections as yet. That starts Sunday bright and early.

Miss Kris - I had levels of 69. It just means that you ovulated i think anyhing above 25 is considered ovulation.

Hi All,

Shan - good luck for your BT tomorrow, I hope you get a great result, seems like you are getting positive signs with the OPK this month too! I hope that the rest of the month goes fast for you... My first cycle dragged out so much, I think there was so much build up and anticipation, am happy to report this month is going really fast! Sorry I don't know anything on charting...

Prosche - best of luck this month, I hope the injections aren't too bad... Baby dust to you!

Bec - I have decided not to test until day 31, DH says I wasted too much money on HPT last month and to be honest I can't bare the disappointment of seeing the BFN tests, it's almost easier just to get AF (that's just me). Sill think this month isn't going to happen as I am not feeling anything - I would expect to get AF maybe Monday - but really who knows since I have never had a regular cycle and I have no idea when I o'd.

31Bec - I didn't meet you either, but a big congrats, always nice to hear good news :-)

Jules - hope your going well hun! And I totally understand your desire to keep it quiet - I think I will be doing that too (current forum excluded of course).

AFM - I got my 21day prog BT results this morning and asked for previous results to compare - Pre-clomid: 40.9, 1st cycle - 57.9 2nd cycle (current) 62.1 - so I definitely ovulated and what's interesting is my levels are higher this month than last but I didn't have any symptoms during or after which is weird??? I still think this month isn't the month so will wait till Tuesday before I test. Hope everyone else is doing well & hoping the BFP roll continues :-)

Hey Girls
Just a quick note to say that my temp is still above coverline, no signs of AF and preg test this morning was a BFN! :(
I can't help but think its going to be neg until at least the w.e?? I don't know!! I mean i am 12DPO today!!
*sigh* the frustration is building now! I mean i could come to terms with it if my temp was dropping and i was crampy, but of course its not happenning!!
Oh well! I can't test until saturday or sunday anyway lol i used my last preg test this morning and won't make it to the shops until then to get more!!
Sorry for no persies!! Will come back to it later!

Hey all,

Shan - thanks for the congratulations. Don't know why you haven't experience any side effects - I'd like to say luck b/c the side effects were hideous.

Bec - LOL telling people I am pg! My appt with the OBS is not until 25th August when I wil be 10 weeks but I have to get a referral from the Dr, so I might request HCG bloods to ensure my levels are increasing. For the moment I am being a little cautious b/c I have some lower abdo cramping but I had that with DD so I am trying to stay positive. I have also joined the BB due date club, which I never have done in the past with any of my pg. Am also hoping that will help me stay positive.
I hope you are wrong about AF on the horizon, I hope that more of you can join in the March due date club :)

Pumpgirl - They are awesome figures. FX for some great news next week :)

Kris - I didn't get my BFP with DD until a week after AF was due, so being DPO could be still a wee bit early. GL

Thanks Rhi! That makes me feel better! At the moment I have this pain in my lower back on the right side, i would have said ovulation pain, but of course i haven't ovulated today lol ... its really bad actually and i noticed it last night! Which then of course lead to me having dreams about having an etopic preg and when the doctors did surgery they had to do a full hyst and i couldn't have kids!!! :crying: stupid dreams!! I woke up in tears!! I just think its a really weird pain!

On a plus side i am feeling refluxy and my bbs are HUGE! :rofl: my hubby looked at me today and asked if i was planning to seriously injure anyone today cos my button looks poised to fly! lol

Porsche I would love it if you could have a look at my chart ( My Ovulation Chart ). I hope this is how I give you access to it (very new to all this).


Will do a longer post tomorrow, better get back to work.

Shan

Hi ShanShan, hope you don't mind, i just added you as a friend of FF...i had a peek at your chart (hope you don't mind) and i will point out that you seem to have a monster drop in temps and then ovulate a couple of days later on all your previous charts, (bar one of them) and your latest temp seems like a huge drop so maybe you will ovulate soon?? I am not too sure though so please don't quote me on it! Im still a bit new to the charting thing!!! Do you have weird/different waking times? I just can't believe how up and down your chart is!!

Hope someone can help you soon!! :)

Miss Kris I don't mind you looking at my chart, I need all the help I can get, lol.

I am a terrible sleeper (Fibromyalgia) but I usually sleep best between 4:30 and 7am so I have been taking my temp at 7am just before DH and I get up. I have no idea what is going on with my temps as they are all over the place lately and the Dr doesn't seem to think that I ovulated previously so I don't know what all the previous charts drop was because. All very confusing and a bit disheartening as I thought the same thing you did with my previous charts.
No ferns again this morning so I am a bit down today as there are no signs (other than the temp drop) of O'ing.
Sounds like you are getting a few signs though so FX'd you are announcing a BFP very very soon.

actually my chart did that, went on like it was ovulating, but i never did...its now in my sig if you wanna look.
it is so weird!! I hate all this "intervention" and the way i scrutinise every little sign, im an over thinker already, i don't need other tools to encourage it! lol!
I have decided im not going to test until next week ... pffft lol see how long that one lasts!! My weekend will consist of obsessing over preg tests!! Lol!!

Miss Kris your charts do look similar to mine so maybe there is hope for me yet! Hopefully you will get your BFP soon and I won't be far behind, lol. Good luck with the not testing, you will have to try and find something to keep you occupied in the mornings. I'm sure DH could probably come up with something ;)

SahnShan

I would say that last cycle you ovulated on CD18 not the CD26 it is saying. This cycle you are very up and down. It's hard to tell if you are leading up to O. I would like to see your temp go up tomorrow and continue to go up as todays temp is your lowest.

Are you consistently temping at the same time? Are you temping as soon as you wake? No tossing and turning? Do you sleep with your mouth open? All these things affect your temps and could be causing the erratic rises and falls. Have you been sick at all? All these things could be a factor.

The thing that makes me think there is something else going on is the fact that your other charts aren't as erratic as this one. There must be something different your doing etc...

Forgot to mention forget the maybe baby. They cause more confusion, frustration, hassels etc.. than they are worth. Stick to OPK's they are more accurate.

Hi Rhi

Dont know if it will help you but when i fell preg my ivf dr had me using a gel that you insert vaginally it helped line my uterus and i was also on little tablets that did the same from inside. I think the gel is called crinone its expensive $163 for 15 applications but it might help if your concerned at all. Although im sure you wont need any help but thought i would mention it to everyone.

And im doing good Bec, i was feeling bubs kicking me the other morning but when hubby went to feel she stopped - he was too impatient to wait for her to move again.

Porsche
Thanks for the bit about the maybe baby. I am doing OPK tests daily as well. The only thing that has changed this month is the clomid. I have always tossed and turned (lucky we have a King size bed) and I wake a lot during the night which the Dr puts down to the fibromyalgia. Always temp around same time, immediately after waking. Probably do spend some of my sleeping time with my mouth open, don't know. Also haven't been sick (touch wood).
If you can make any sense of my chart you are doing better than me cause I am thoroughly confused.
Sorry no persies, will do them tomorrow after my BT (the only reason I am coming to work tomorrow, lol)

So I tested today: BFN. I knew it would be but I couldn't help testing. Now to wait for AF! On to next month!

Hi ladies!

Bumbumg- Great the have you in the thread. These ladies are the most lovely bunch of couragous women you'd 'meet' anywhere and the thread is incredible supportive to all who are here. Having said that, we do of course hope you graduate to a belly buddies forum ASAP! What day are you currently on? I can add you to the list if you like.

Hi Bec!

Haven't started yet, it will either be this month or next. We're also in process of moving so I'm kinda hoping next...at least in the new place we'll have a bit more room!

I will let you know ASAP. Thank you so much everyone...:D

Hi Rhi

Dont know if it will help you but when i fell preg my ivf dr had me using a gel that you insert vaginally it helped line my uterus and i was also on little tablets that did the same from inside. I think the gel is called crinone its expensive $163 for 15 applications but it might help if your concerned at all. Although im sure you wont need any help but thought i would mention it to everyone.

And im doing good Bec, i was feeling bubs kicking me the other morning but when hubby went to feel she stopped - he was too impatient to wait for her to move again.

Thanks Tam, will keep it in mind. I am feeling fairly positive & am just taking each week, well day at a time. I just need to get to the first scan & I know all will be well :)

:( Sorry to hear that Bec. I was really hoping you'd make it into the March DDC.

:hug: Oh Bec. It will be our turn next cycle I know it!

Shan - Don't worry too much about the O signs, although I don't chart I didn't have any other traditional signs this month either and my prog BT came back with a strong result. I think you are getting your BT today aren't you? My approach is to DTD every two days regardless of when I think o timing is. In saying that I haven't fallen PG yet so my way is probably not the right way IYKWIM ;-)

GL hun!

Just realised I missed a whole bunch of posts before replying this am - Bec I am so sorry to hear that, although it aint over till it's over so FX you just tested too early.

Hello to everyone else - hope you all have a good weekend!!
