LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin #4

[redgum]

Hi Ladies

Thanks very much everyone, we are very excited - although cautious.

Jules - How are you feeling? I hope so far so good for you!

RisRis - Yes, I can highly recommend the Kakadu Juice, we have found the best way to buy it is through TVSN as they always have special deals. It isn't cheap but you only need a shot of it per day - I also put it in my (super smoothies post workout which also includes: Banana, Skim Milk, No Fat tub set yoghurt, berries, egg white - although will be dropping this, oats, ABC spread, Spirulina & sprinkle chia seeds on top... Very very yummy and super nutritious.

Porsche - FX for you, I really hope that it all goes smoothly and you don't over stim, my thoughts are with you

Bec - I am really sorry to hear about AF, I thought that you might end up with a BFP this month, I am sorry that my message was probably the first thing you saw when you logged on :-( It is OK to be really disappointed, this would have to be one of the hardest things to deal with. I really, really hope that this is your month! FX!!!!!

Clamage - Best of luck this cycle hun, holidays seem to help with getting PG.

I agree with you Tammara, it isn't too much to ask for more BFPs, I have my FX for everyone in here, you all deserve your long awaited BFP

xx

CONGRATULATIONS PUMPGIRL! Its so exciting you got your BFP!!!
Well i was looking at my "positive" wall last night and i realised that 2 of the things on there came true, i did ovulate and clomid worked for me lol! So now i am hoping my other 2 posters will come true (about getting preg and sustaining a healthy pregnancy) lol!!

I am feeling so sore today! I spent most of the w.e drugged up (love you nurofen plus and panadene forte) i can't believe how painful this period is, but thats to be expected cos its getting rid of 6-7 months of lining i suppose...

Sorry for the no persies, people have started coming into work so i better look busy!!

Morning Ladies,

Arrrrr, another BFP I am SOOOOO excited I can’t believe it, that has to be the BEST month ever, 4, wow.

Congratulations Pumpgirl, that is truly amazing, woo hoo, you will not be spending your 30’s TTC, yippee! And yey to big BB’s on their way now, lol! I love the story, thanks so much for sharing. Please keep the updates coming, I couldn’t be happier for you! How far along now? Any symptoms? Any sickness?

Wow the BB’s chat has been great, thanks for indulging me ladies. Yes Pumpgirl is right, there are some very well endowed ladies in here, and I thought mine were big, lol! Bring on preggy BB’s for all, he he!

Porsche, glad to hear you have started injections. Why does your FS think you will over stimulate? Such a bummer if you do. I have everything crossed that you travel perfectly with a sticky BFP at the end of your first cycle. GL hun!

Bec, oh hun, it’s never good when AF arrives, even if you were expecting her, still sux. Sorry to hear hun. Great attitude though, chin up and I have everything crossed for you this month coming. It HAS to be your turn next!

Liz, glad to hear your FS made you laugh, it’s very important in this very trying journey. Yes your FS is right, this forum is just amazing, I don’t know how I would’ve got through this without each and every one of you, I honestly believe that we all have a bit to do with each BFP that is posted, everyone’s advise and support is just incredible. GL with your next step. I’m not sure about moods on injections, sorry, cant help there.

Claudette, fantastic to hear from you again, so glad to hear you had a wonderful break. Hopefully that is just what your body needed. GL coming up to testing time. So Preseed – I have some and only used it when absolutely necessary as I was told that natural CM is best. However I agree with Rhi to only use a very small amount, it works so well that you can loose some of the sensation if you use as much as they tell you, it is good though cos if you have the applicators you can insert it inside, makes it a lot cleaner, sorry for TMI, didn’t know how else to describe it. HTH’s.

RisRis, welcome to this amazing forum. Wow sounds like you have had quite a journey, GL and hopefully your stay here is short. Let us know how DP’s SA results go, GL for him.

Kris, love your imagination, thanks for the visual on the triumph story, lol!

Rhi, lol at your DD, that is way too cute. How old is she? Clearly not old enough to know what a secret is. Hope she doesn’t spoil your good news too many more times. Not long till the 10 week scan now anyway. So exciting how fast it all goes.

AFM not much to report, just over 19 weeks now so looking forward to the next scan where they count the fingers and toes. Now I know this will sound strange (think I have told some of you this before) but DH was born with 3 thumbs so we are on the lookout for any extra digits, they weren’t able to see clearly enough at the last scan as I was only 11.5 weeks so hopefully being 20.5 weeks will make a big difference.

GL for everyone in the upcoming month, I can’t wait for next month to smash this month out of the water.

Hi Keli

I think he thinks I'll over stim because I'm still "young" in IVF terms. My AMH levels are really good so there won't be any problem producing follies. The problem is I may produce heaps and heaps of follies on a low dose and OHSS.

[Hope!]

CONGRATULATIONS to Rhi and Pumpgirl That is great news. Wow, this thread is on a good roll, not too long now ladies for the rest of you. Remember, before the end of the year I'm feeling.

A big hello to everyone else on here, sorry for no persies but i haven't been on here for so long there is way too much going on for me to catch up on straight away.

AFM: I had my OB appoint on Fri the 16th and he did BT's. One on Friday arve and one on Monday morning and the results were Fri: 648 and Mon: 1631 so he was very pleased with these. We went away to Vic on Wed last week and came back yesterday. Ever since the flight on Wed I have been spotting and getting the occasional cramping so I am hoping that it is nothing to be worried about. My next appoint with OB isn't until fri next weeks but I am contemplating whether or not to call him. This is what happened with my other two pg's for about 2 weeks before the mc. Other than that, I have no new news to tell.

Sending you all lots of

Wow another new thread!

Hope- I had some spotting with DS and all was fine. Your levels look good though! Maybe ring FS and mention it, maybe they can check progestrone and everything and blood clotting things and just make sure. I'm sure it will all be great though, but for your own piece of mind, it might be worth while?

Jules- Your DD is so cute! My DS keeps telling people he's going to have a baby sister soon, even though I'm not UTD! ANd people give me that 'yeah, right' look when I say I'm not pregnant. Kids are hilarious at times!

POrsche- Hopefully you wont over stim and still get plenty of nice follies. FX for a great first cycle for you!

Keli- I do kind of feel I've had my turn, I just haven't had a stayer yet. I am still SO PROUD and excited for you ladies who have your BFP, it does give me hope. It will happen, I can visualise myself holding another beautiful baby, I just know it will happen. I'm just a very impatient person, and I WANT IT NOW!!!! lol. I can't believe your almost at your 20 week scan, DOn't forget to take your kleenex! It's a beautiful thing, becasue the baby really looks like a baby!

Kris- I know your pain! I've had shocker this month too. Sorry for TMI but the heaviest I've had in ages, including m/c in april. Maybe the month off clomid has improved my lining! GL this cycle!

Pumpgirl- That smoothy sounds yummy, might give it a go. I struggle for breakfast options of the GF variety. How are you feeling?

Ahurani- How are you hon? I'm assuming you've moved into a pg thread, but hi! Hope you're well!

Hi to everyone else!

AFM: As i mentioned, I'm having a shocking AF this month! Interesting fact for you all. When I took clomid CD5-9 I o about cd21, when I took it cd2-5 I o'd about cd25. I always wondered if it made a difference, and now I know that it does for me! I think I've resigned myself to the fact that we'll be doing IVF by the end of the year, 15 months of clomid is just ridiculous, no matter how well it works for me! I am actually eager to get started with something new!

Have agreat week!
Bec
