Hi Guys
Just a quick one so no persies, will have to try and do over weekend (might get me away from the annoying hoping-to-be SIL (God I hope not, lol).
The thing about the gluten intolerance is similar to what I posted earlier about grains. They affect your hormones so females end up producing more testosterone and reverse for the blokes. Gluten free grain products will also do this as it is the carbohydrates that break down into sugars that then effect these hormones (or that is the general idea).
We are starting a grain free diet next week so will have to see if it helps, can't hurt.
Sharkeys is on the Gold Coast and they do consultations over phone or even web cam. Some of the girl's I work with struggled to conceive and they went there (back when Ruth Sharkey was running it, she has retired now) and they both had success. That is the next step for us but I wanted to give the clomid a couple of cycles before paying for the consultation and then the herbs. I think changing my diet and exercising in the morning (even though I am the worst morning person ever) will help as well after seeing the science about it (the nerd part of me requires this before I believe it even though I know it is true, I am resistant to anything that gets me out of bed early, will be good practice for when I do eventually get a bub, lol).
AFM - AF still lingering, hopefully will leave tomorrow. Pain has subsided thankfully even though the tolerance levels were low with the kid's yesterday afternoon, didn't help that they were all off with the pixies, is it a full moon or something? Have my appointment with Dr tomorrow so hopefully he can come up with something, would like to avoid the IVF and jabbing track but if it is what we have to do then I would rather get started ASAP.
hi ladies!! Sorry i have been MIA! My work has been monitoring my net time and i cant read the blog on my phone!! hope everyone is well! I am ok, the clomid didnt work this round apparently, but i think that i ovulated later then the 21 day test so the dr took more blood today! I will write again soon! We get our internet up and running at home soon so bellybelly is the first place to go! Lol! Im having withdrawls! talk soon
Kris, I don;t think clomid has worked for me this month either!! Hopefully you just ovulated later and the BT today will have positive results.GL
Thanks for the info on gluten and grains Shan. The problem with lots of GF foods is that they add a heap of extra sugar to try to cover the often substandard taste and add a bit of elasticity. The best way to go if def natural, unprocessed foods. Easier said than done though How did your dr appointment go?
Mel- hopefully you haven't had too many SE from the clomid! AS for your question about HCG on clomid, I don't think it affects the way HCG rises, I just think we are more aware of our HCG levels becasue they are more applicable to us (does that make sense?). Early Pregnancy tests these days measure from HCG25, which is very low, so you'll be fine if you POAS when AF is due!
Hi Porsche, Keli, N2L, Tam, Mez, Ahurani, Hope, Pumpgirl, Claudette, Jules, Liz, Reet and anyone else floating around! Hope your well!
AFM: Still nothing to add. Think I'm out for this month, I don;t think I'm going to o. Bummer!
Talk to you all later!
Bec

: forgot someone!
Hello everyone. Just thought I would drop in and give you my recent update. I have been a little apprehensive about updating in here as I know how hard it can be for you guys.
I went to my OB appointment today and he did a scan (I am now 9 wks 3 days) and anyway it turns out that there is two bubba's in there. Thats right, twins!!! I'm feeling excited, scared, nervous and the list goes on. The second baby is measuring about 1 week behind the other so hopefully it is going to be ok.
I would love to do persies for you all but I am in the middle of getting dinner ready. I just want you all to know that I am always thinking of you and am quite often in here checking up on how you are all doing. Hopefully I can give you some persies soon.
I have been lurking in here for the past couple of nights. Been getting home late from work and have been too knackered to write anything. Also had a car accident on Tuesday morning (someone went into the back of me) and wrote off my car so that has been a bit of a hassle! Drama-filled week. lol.
Thank you for the lovely messages of support re: my DD's adhd diagnosis. I really appreciate it. I think it will be fine. I will just have to work a bit harder at the parenting thing!
Hope - Congratulations on your twin news! You must be so excited! I can understand feeling a little overwhelmed. Twice as much to love though Just make sure DH knows how to change a nappy!
Bec - Dont give up on O'ing just yet. You never know... Not sure if you can send O Vibes but if you can, I am sending them your way!
wannababy- dont worry about false negative HPTs. When I was pg I got false negatives but my body soon told me otherwise. The symptoms just get to the point that you cant ignore them and a test done a couple of weeks later will confirm it! Besides, if you are being monitored on clomid, a scan will pick up a pregnancy. Or, if in doubt, have a blood test. They are much more reliable than the HPTs.
re: the coeliac thing. It doesnt always cause infertility. My mum is gluten intolerant and had six kids. My boss has terrible coeliacs and she has two DS - including one when she was over 40 (naturally). So, like everything else, I guess it's dependent on the individual. Mind you, I am a great believer in if you think it helps, it probably will!
Hello to everyone else. I know I have missed heaps of you. As a newbie, finding it a little hard to work out who's who and what's what! I'll get there though In the meantime, lots of babydust to you all!
AFM...CD 25. I did something stupid the other night. I am pretty sure I o'ed on Saturday/Sunday just past (based on pain) but on Wednesday night I stupidly did a HPT. What an idiot. I dont know why I did it. I knew it was too soon but part of me thought 'just maybe...you never know'. Of course it was negative. So now I have talked myself into thinking the clomid wont work for me. That said, I am not sure when I should test. My cycles are usually about 45 days long. So should I test two weeks after Sat/Sun (14th/15th Aug)?? Or should I wait until CD45 (assuming AF doesnt arrive by then)?? I felt nauseous today but I think my head is messing with me. I am very good at pregnancy hypochondria! Does everyone have a shorter cycle on clomid? When do you guys test??
Again, sorry for the questions!
Take care x
