LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin #4

[miss kris]

Hi Ladies,

Its been a bit quiet in here!

Rhi- Good Luck with the Superovulation! I hope that it works for you! (Sorry if this is a bit personal) but do you know why you keep m/c? Could your body being doing something it shouldn't??

Bec- Sorry to hear about your friend, DH lost a friend to cancer and while ago and it was very heartbreaking! Its the most horrible thing ever!

Porsche - Good Luck with your appointments!!

Pump Girl - Have fun in QLD! I am so jealous!! Yesterday it was 6.5 degrees here all day!! Brrrrrr!

Ahruani - How are you going? Any symptoms yet??

AFM - DH and I had a talk last night and he has banned me from buying OPKs because i can never get a postive (even when i do ovulate lol) and they are a waste of money! lol And then we talked about the temping and how im losing sleep over it atm because i am waking up at odd hours and the clomid is making me have really crap sleeps with bad dreams etc!! So we have decided on this round of the clomid i will not temp either! I put my thermomoter in my bedside draw and we are going el natural! lol!
I feel better this morning not obsessing over temps etc.

I have not had much SE this round with the clomid, except for the tears, and the hot flushes (tried to strip off in target before lol) and i have learnt how to hold onto my angry mood swings, though it does give me a tension head ache! lol
Ok so i am still getting SE, i am just better at managing them this time around!!

Anyway, time to go do some work ... if i can find some! I am very ahead atm!
Sorry if i missed anyone in the persies!

Hi everyone
Seems like there's a lot of sadness going around just now on here. It does put things into perspective though.
Rhi - what is superovulation?
Bec - looks like i'm leading the longest cycle this month!

AFM....nothing to report here. Progest results were very low this month 1.5 - which is rubbish! CD 33. Partner is due to hand in another sample of his little guys. How come it seems so difficult for him to organise time off work and do the deed, when I just go along and show off my bits and get things poked and prodded without any hassle! Rant over. I think FS is arranging for a procedure for me which involves putting dye through my bits... I know it has a fancy name but can't pronounce or spell it! I think the 2 WW takes forever, although I can never tell when I ovulate anyway so I probably think the 2WW is actually closer to a month.
Anyway, moan over. Heading to get my hair done this afternoon. Hopefully should perk up my mood.
Hope you are all well.

Miss kris: yes lots off all day sickness, ive only vomited once though, very sore boobies, constipated, tired

How is everyone going?

[RhiChiChi]

Hey all,

Had to work today, so sorry I haven't been on earlier

Oh Rhichichi that sucks. Are they going to do any testing for you?

We are going to ask about it on Tuesday. I want recurring m/c testing but not sure if they do it there or not.

Jules- I'm so sad to hear of your loss. Hopefully your FS can give you some support during your Superovulation cycle. I know how sad you must be, and dissapointed, and I can only offer my support. humungous :hugs: to you and your family.

AFM: Just found out one of my good friends has terminal cancer, so I'm a little miffed at the world. It does put things in perspective for me though, as much as I want another bub, I want to enjoy my life in the process. I just need to not let TTC control my whole life (becasue it doe currently!).
I'll catch up later, I gotta go to rehearsal,
Bec

Thanks hun. We'll see how we go on Tuesday. I need to do some research but have limited time atm.

Terribly sorry to hear about your friend. It certainly puts alot into perspective. How old is she?

Porsche - Best of luck for Tuesday my fingers are crossed, as well as my toes

I think egg quality is an issue, which reading on the BB forum can be helped by diet & exercise. So back into the swing of things this weekend.......

I found using OPK's & temping messed with my head a bit. Just DTD in the times & hopefully you will catch that egg, GL

Claudette - It is similar to IUI but I don't think they wash to sperm, just insert it in - IYKWIM. I have another appt on Tuesday to find out the whole ins & outs of it all, so will fill you in then

Oh Rhi at least they are starting you again on your journey, that way hopefuly it won't be long till you get another BFP.

Big hugs coming your way Bec, that is so sad about your friend. And yes I believe life is too short to think what if, live everyday as it comes, not in the past.

Kris, I wasn't doing the temping thing as of the sleepless nights, and I never got into that part. The OPK tests, I did last cycle, but I'm not this one, as I know when I need to DTD as I will be having a trigger shot.

Ahurani just keep thinking positive about why you are feeling that way

Sorry if missed anyone, just doing a short one today, before I go out food shopping. Nothing to report about me, still taking provera and will stop on sunday night, then the wait for AF starts. Thanks for all the birthday wishes, I had a fantastic day and got very spoilt.

Jules, you are I seem to have a similar problem. all of my m/c have been just on or just over 5 weeks, and I've been thinking about egg quality myself. Do you know if they check egg quality if you do IVF? GL for Tuesday, I hope they are proactive and can give you some answers. My FS ordered my recurrent m/c testing, and a saline ultrasound. YOu can go to the recurrent m/c clinic at the royal women's I've heard, you just need to be referred by someone (GP/FS).

Thanks everyone for you kind words about my friend. She is in her 50's and she's been like a mum to me over the past 10 years (I lost my mum when I was 14, also to cancer). She threw my kitchen tea for me, and made my wedding veil, paid for me to get a spray tan and my hair coloured a few days before my wedding as a surprise, all of those nice things that nice people do, I guess. She just doesn't dserve this, but then who does?

I'll come back for other persies later, I gotta get DS to swimming,
Bec

Hi Ladies,
Sounds like everyone needs a huge hug. My brothers best friend of the last 20 years passed away last week from a stroke His funeral was a couple days ago. My heart goes out to anyone who has lost a close family friend/relative suddenly like this.

Hope - I had bleeding with my first pg through to 18 weeks, chin up sweety its more common in healthy pg than you could imagine. FX for good news.

Regarding the "Are you pregnant yet?" from everyone whilst ttc, so many times I felt like jumping down the throats of these people screaming "If we try any harder we would never leave the bedroom, you intrusive, ignorant, rude sack of s**t!" But all I could muster civilly was "We dont want children yet" Its easier to not go there with every person I spoke to on a day-to-day basis.

AFM - I have been in superwoman mode all week. The company I work for moved this week and its been crazy, packing up 12 years of files and equipment was hell and I am so glad I have a day off to recover and spend with the family. Still waiting on AF, fashionably late as usual!
