    Porsche - that's unreal hun!! You must be so relieved, good to have a backup stash (even if it's for the next one). Good luck for Friday!!!!!! I have everything crossed you get a BFP.

    Kris - Not sure what my problem is, I think I feel like I should be doing something, but actually maybe it is the scan as I keep talking about tests and stuff. The PG is definitely there as I am pretty sick and really tired, but I guess you just never know and I will be so happy to see the HB next week... FX that everything goes as it should. On a positive we have booked a little holiday to Noosa in October - Can't wait. It's been such a miserable winter in Sydney - rain rain rain.

    Once again, huge congrats Porsche xx

    Could be!! Everyone is different, I didn't have any symptoms whatsoever - in fact you probably remember I kept saying this month is over this month is over... When is your CD21 Prog test?

    Tomorrow, and i was very much like that last night, kept telling DH the drugs didn't work cos it doesn't feel like it did 1st round, however i think the general consesus is the 2nd round is very different to the 1st round!

    Plus this time last round i didn't have this lower back pain! Definetly obsessing when i promised myself i wouldn't!!
    Time to log out of fertility friend! Lmao!

    Try not to stress or obsess, you have been so good this month... It will be, even if your not thinking about it so no point in worrying and stressing... I agree, second cycle is so different from the first, that's why I thought it was going to be a BFN as I didn't have as many SE. I know it is easier said than done, but try and relax and put it to the back of your mind (focus on your positive wall and something else if you can).

    Good luck tomorrow, I hope you get a good result!!

    And yes get your b.utt out of FF xx

    Starting Clomid

    Hi All,

    My name is Mel, and I am about to start my first round of Clomid. I have PCOS and I have been on Metformin for years, but as I don't ovulate very often or at all, our past efforts in TTC naturally have been futile.

    Feeling excited, nevous and everything inbetween! Would really appreciate any tips/hints/advice that anyone has for the coming weeks and months.

    Wow porsche, that is so exciting, 9 little you's that is sooo cool. best of luck for friday and posting your BFP in a few weeks. IKWYM about the public hol, I had went to ring my FS on my lunchbreak and they had closed at 12pm.

    Pumpgirl how exciting you are going to here the HB next week. You are going to love it up in Noosa, it is a nice place, I must say QLD is a great place hehehe (I might be a little bias though).

    Tammara, I was hoping that when I do get my BFP that the wierd dreams would stop or at least calm down a little.

    Miss Kris, I think it is so true about the dreams, mine tend to get far to crazy when I am stressing over stuff. FX'd that they are good signs for you (having the cramps, etc) and you catch that little egg.

    AFM, I have been coming in daily to read everyone's posts, but haven't posted anything myself as nothing new was happening with me. Except for now. YYYYYAAAAAYYYYYY AF finally started today, and I must say I have never been so happy to have her arrive, the girls at work thought I was a little crazy but understand why I was soo happy. So tomorrow is when I will be starting this cycle's meds and ringing my FS to book it my appointment to start the injections next week. So this time next week will be getting DH to jab me, which I am sure he is going to get joy out of, lol. As I was anoying him last night quite badly and he turned to me and said "you do realise next week I will be jabbing you with a needle", to which I then decided that I should stop anoying him hehehe. Anyway, that is all for me today, can't wait to see some more BFP's on here, babydust to everyone. Oh and Bec for your chart I am CD1. YYYIIIPPPEEEEE

    Hello
    Welcome Mel, hopefully this is a quick journey for you. Scans haven't been mentioned by my Dr yet, only BT, but I have only had one round of clomid so I guess I will find out more next Thursday.
    Bec - Everything is starting to get back to normal now. Got a few weekends in Brisbane for courses and Hen's parties in the next few weeks followed by weddings and Birthday parties in September/ October so that should keep me out of trouble.
    Porsche - Congrats on all the follies, GL with the transfer and I look forward to seeing you post a BFP soon.
    Pumpgirl - How exciting about your scan next week. Noosa in October should be lovely. I know what you mean about the rain, we wish it would bugger off cause we can't make any money until the paddocks dry out and we can bale the crops. I know typical farmers, never happy, lol.
    Kris - Yuck to hot flushes but hopefully they are indicating something. That was the clomid side effect I really hated, although I wouldn't mind them today as it is absolutely freezing here. Oh and stay away from FF it will just mess with your head, lol.
    Liz - Yay for AF arriving, can you send her my way. I don't know whether my DH would be willing to jab me, I guess it depends how much of a b**** I am being at the time, jk. Mum would probably enjoy inflicting pain on me though.
    N2L - I know how you feel about the long post disappearing, happens to me on a regular basis.
    Hello to everyone else.
    AFM - Well AF is still not here, starting to get a bit p**sed off about it, lol. Was watching TV the other night and there was a lady on there and she said that we spend years trying not to get pregnant and when we want to we can't. DH thought this was hilarious as it is exactly what we have been saying lately.
    Well better go have some lunch, Appetite has increased lately, not going to be good for the waistline, ha ha.

    Hey all,

    Sorry for being MIA, I have minimal time today as DH & I are going into the City tonight to celebrate our 10 yr wedding anniversary. We went to the counsellor at Monash today & are off to talk to the nurses about the injections etc.... So in the meantime we are DTDing our butts off in the hope of another 'natural' pg. Sorry for lack of persies, going to frop DD off at my mums. Be back on the weekend.

    Mel, welcome to this thread, hope your stay is short and you fall pg soon. I myself didn't have any scans or blood tests, although was on clomid for only 3 rounds, which looking at how many cycles everyone else has done isn't very many. GL with it all, and hopefully you don't experience to many SE on the clomid.

    Rhi wow, congrats on 10 yrs, hope you and DH have a lovely night out and you fall pg naturally again. FX'd for you hun.

    Shan, I sending her yourway via airmail lol. DH has to do the jabs for me, there is no-one else to do them, and I won't be able to handle doing them myself, I HATE NEEDLES... silly I know, but I do.

    Porsche, best of luck for the ET tomorrow, can't wait to see how you go. I have everything crossed, GL hun.

    Bec, hope you catch that little egg and you won't need to worry about IVF. And no your question isn't stupid, it is good to know what to expect.

    Hi to anyone else I have missed, sorry.

    AFM, OMG I am starting to regret wanting AF to start, the cramps that I am having are ridiculas and am getting a little over it. Funny hay I wanted AF to start so badly and now it is here want it to go away. I know a bit of a sook, just having a little rant about my AF pain. Other than that I have been good, no SE so far, but it is only day 1 of clomid, lol.
    Babydust to everyone hoping for some more BFP's on here soon.
