LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin #4

[nothing2lose]

Hi all

It's a lovely morning here in Melbourne. Blue skies and sunny (no doubt it will change soon). Hope it is nice in your parts of the world!

Miss Kris - Dont worry about your family. I come from a large one and there is always someone not talking to someone else, people having fights, being mean and having sulks. It's normal (I think!). Don't let it get you down. It will blow over...whatever it is....Promise. I know what you mean about DH's friend with the twin thing. There are so many examples where people who, on the face of it, dont seem "worthy" of having children. Try to think of it another way...It's just this baby's time to be born (or babies' as in this case!). Thinking of it like this might help take the focus off the parents and the apparent unfairness of it all. It might help you

Also (and I am not saying you - or anyone else on this thread! - are guilty of this at all) but sometimes I hear people say they want "a baby" but they dont really look beyond that. IYKWIM. The reality is, babies are babies for a year or two...after that they are children, teens, then adults. And parenting is bloody hard work and, in my opinion, it gets much harder after they are babies. There are times you feel like giving up, curling into a ball and just crying. Your DH's friends sound like they have a very unstable relationship. That will only make parenting that much harder. Take heart from the fact when you have a child you will be able to get through the tough times of parenting (and there will be plenty) with the love and support of a caring partner because you are in a solid relationship. They wont. So while it seems like they are "lucky" at the moment, that might not be the case at all.
I hope you understand what I mean and that I am not coming across as a sanctimonious b*tch. I know it is soooooo hard and no matter what anyone says, it still hurts. Just keep your chin up hun, and look after yourself. Your time will come xxx

Bec - Good luck for your appointment tomorrow. I hope it all goes as you hope it will and that whatever treatment/course of action you take on her advice works

Porsche - Hope you are well! Looks like we are POAS at the same time next weekend. Good luck with your waiting this week. It's a killer isnt it. I am an idiot -- I caved and did ANOTHER hpt this morning. Apparently I just like torturing myself. Of course it was negative. And I started thinking 'That's me out'. Reality is it's just 7dpo so it might still be too early. Patience is not one of my virtues!

epayne - Good luck with your FS appointment on Tuesday. I hope you get the trigger shot you are after and spend the last half of next week busy on the workbench

wannababy - hope you are still tolerating the clomid well. I found my worst SE came when I finished the course of tablets. Wont be long until you ovulate! Good luck!

To everyone else - Keli, Hope, RhiChi, Shan, Tammara - and anyone I have missed, hope all is right in your world.

AFM- CD28. Not expecting AF for another week as I started clomid late (CD 8) and didnt ovulate until a week ago. So another WW for me Had an urge to clean today. Talked myself into saying it's nesting which is utterly ridiculous. More likely Spring is in the air and I always feel the urge to do the Spring Clean thing. Had mild cramping and some sharp twinges yesterday (as per my post) but no spotting. Trying not to talk myself into thinking they are implantation symptoms. But, as I said, I stupidly did a POAS test this morning telling myself if it is implantation then I would get a BFP. It couldnt have been more BFN if I was a man peeing on it! Not even the remotest of remote faint line. I am idiot

anyhoo...need to get back to my spring clean.

chat later xxx
