    Hi Ladies

    Sorry I have been MIA, had a bit of a up and down weekend.

    Pumpgirl - Wow, congrats on your fabulous news, both of them. Good idea to have the heart rate monitor on and don't forget to keep your temp regulated. Good luck getting the shop up and running soon.

    Hope - Glad to hear everything went well this morning, great that you got to hear bubby's heart beat, must be reassuring. to you.

    Bec - Hopefully the heavy AF is a good sign and you will be posting a BFP on the list next month. I agree about the wanting it now, I don't like waiting either.

    Rhi - I agree with the other girls about the blood test, might help put your mind at ease. for you.

    Keli - How exciting that you get to see your little bub, let us know how it goes, I love that you keep us updated.

    Porsche - Thanks for all your help with my charts, they are still all over the place but more about that later. I hope everything goes well with you this cycle and that you are being added to the list as a BFP too.

    Kris - I am glad you are excited about starting the clomid again. What dose and days are you on? Hopefully you get a BFP on this cycle.

    Hi to everyone else. Sorry if I forgot anyone.

    AFM - Well BT Friday didn't start well, I ended up with 3 holes and a couple of good bruises. 1st vein disappeared, 2nd only got 1ml of blood and the 3rd took about 10minutes to get 10ml, so should have taken it as a sign that things weren't going to go well.
    Saturday night DH and I went to the local show for a night out. If one more person asks me when I was going to have a baby (or tells me to start as I'm not getting any younger) I am going to scream. I did have a good chat with a girl I use to swimming train with who is due in October. She had a lot of trouble TTC as well and has apparently been having recurring dreams about me so hopefully that is a good sign.
    Sunday was spent relaxing on the couch as it was a late one the night before and I was verrrry tired. Was feeling pretty good as FF Chart predicted ovulation last Thursday based on temps.
    Monday I had a day off work, luckily as Dr's office rang and shattered any hope of anything this month. BT results showed that I am still not ovulating and I have to double my dose of Clomid next month. I was pretty devastated (still am) and now have to wait for AF to arrive so I can start again.

    Sorry about the doom and gloom.

    Pumpgirl, lol that would be awesome if you had twins. I had a feeling I was too, think it was due to the excessive ms and the fact that I was on Clomid. KUP

    Hope, glad to hear the spotting has stopped and you got to see the HB, that’s awesome hun.

    Oh ShanShan, so sorry to hear your new hun, just one blow after another isn’t it. So what does Clomid are you up to now? I have everything crossed that next moth is a doubly good month for you hun. Hope you’re feeling better.

    Hi ShanShan,
    i am on 50mg of clomid, and won't need to go up as i ovulated on it. However, i have lost my repeats prescription in case i need it again! Can't find the bluming thing anywhere!!
    Oh and that totally sucks about the blood tests!! I hate needles and i would have walked out if she couldn't find the vein first try!! *shudder* absolutely hate needles!!

    Keli I started on 50mg so up to 100mg next month. Just starting to wish something would go my way. Isn't helping that I have nausea today.

    Kris the nurse taking the blood is a friend and I actually felt bad for her cause I have dodgy veins. I usually leave with at least 2 holes. You get used to it and luckily needles don't phase me (must be all the blood tests I had as a teenager when they were trying to diagnose the fibromyalgia, lol). I used to donate blood and I am sure they used to shudder when I turned up with my dodgy veins.

    Wow, a new thread and already lots of posts.

    Pumpgirl a huge congrats to you, my fingers are crossed that you have a event free pregnancy.

    Bec, I was sure you were going to be posting a BFP this month. And it is so okay to want to have a baby now, that's want we all want and I think deserve. Like shan said, hopefully having a heavy AF is a good sign for this month. FX'd for you.

    Shan, looks like you are going onto the next step with your journey upping the dosage of clomid. My viens are dodgy as well, I have found if I make sure that I drink lots of water leading up to the test it is alot easier for having BT. Just a little question if you don't mind me asking, do you see Dr Watson at Northwest Private? IKWYM about people asking "when are you having a baby", everyone seems to be asking us and is just so hard not to say, well we are trying, but it just osn't that easy for some people. Hugs to you.

    Miss Kris FX'd that this cycle works, at least you know that you o'd on 50mg. GL for not needing the repeat script.

    Hope, can't say much, cause I have never been pg, but can't you sometimes, have a little bit of brown spotting at the beginning of the pg?? At least you were able to talk to your fs and the spotting stopped for you. FX'd that you have a carefree pg for the rest of it.

    sorry to anyone I have missed, babydust to everyone still DTD and best wishes for those UTD.

    AFM, day 5/10 of provera and already the wierd dreams have started, well not started as I constantly have them, they just seem to get wierder while taking provera. I have had the busiest weekend. We had a BBQ at our place for my b'day so we spent sat cleaning up the downstairs (luckly cause it rained sun) and went shopping for all the food. Sunwas good, as I only had to prepare a few things for lunch and got to relax before everyone came and then enjoy the afternoon with everyone istead of running around. Nothing else to report until AF ariives which should be in approx 15 days.

    GL to everyone

    Hi all,

    Am off for Beta HCG tomorrow, with follow up on Friday and u/s. I know that I am m/c (or have) due to blood loss, lack of pg symptoms amongst other things. So, I will be back to join you lovelies permanently probably next week if I feel up to it.

    Sorry for lack of persies.
