I'm not getting updates to my hotmail account either!
It's a bugger isnt it!!!!
Hope everyone is well...I cant remember where everyone is up to!!
Bec - did AF end up showing??
epayne - know what you mean about injecting yourself. I had to give myself a trigger shot of ovidrel last night for the first time. I was thinking DH would do it. But when I asked him he went green and said NO WAY!!! lol - After seven years together, I didnt realise he had a needle phobia!!!
I am CD17 today. I went to the FS for a scan yesterday. I have one big follicle on my right ovary that is (in her words) "about to pop". She gave me the ovidrel and I should ovulate by tomorrow morning. Also, my pre-seed arrived yesterday (just in time by some absolute miracle!). So it's BD time for me...Then we start the two week wait....again!!!!
I think everyone should post an update so we can re-familiarise ourselves with where we are all at!!! lol
take care all :)

I'm still in no man's land n2l. Still no AF so I guess I didn't ovulate. I'm waiting to hear from FS to see whether I still get the BT she ordered for CD2 to check hormones etc.
My last post on the other page was that my friend passed away on Sunday after a 9 week battle with cancer. They said she would have 6 months, but it was very aggressive. I was/am pretty devastated. We also spend Sunday in the Royal Children's with my DS who woke up SUnday moring crying in pain in his leg and unable to walk. After a long day of tests, turns out he has irritable hip, which is like a temporary arthritis. They said it would take 10 days to get well, but he actually pretty good today, just walking with a slight limp. So now we have three days to hang out together and enjoy eachothers company, and then 2 weeks of school holidays. Just what we all need I think!
I'm taking a couple of weeks break from BB becasue I wont start another cycle untill I've seen the FS in 2 weeks. I'll pop in and out, but I need a short break from thinking about TTC. I'll check in to see how everyone is doing and I'll be watching for BFP's!
Stay well everyone,
Bec
Hi All,
How annoying is this!! Just when I desperately needed some advice, we lose everything including my last post!
I got AF at CD27 (10-12 dpo) on Sunday. Certainly a first for me, so I don't know why, but I have a feeling that something went wrong. I had a slight pink tinge to me CM and I thought that maybe it was implantation, but by morning AF had started. All was fine and no pain when I woke, then at about 10am I started to notice I was starting to feel uncomfortable, and by 11am I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital, the pain was constant and unbearable! Not dull cramps like normal AF pain, but a constant sharper pain and Nurofen Plus did nothing to help! I ended up meditating sitting in the bath using the shower hose to run water over my tummy which helped. I eventually started to feel better and fell asleep for a few hours. Since then, the pain has come and gone a few hours at a time, but nothing as bad as the first day. I have literally gone through about 10-15 overnight pads (even during the day) since Sunday though, definitely the heaviest AF I have ever had by far. At first I just wanted the pain to go away, but now I am wondering what the cause was? Is this normal with Clomid?
Mel I can't really help you with your problem as my AF didn't really alter on the clomid, the metformin was what regulated it but it was still painful, but it wasn't any longer. I had an AF like that just before starting the metformin though and panadeine fort didn't even touch the pain, unfortunately we were away at the beach for new years so AF turning up after 5 months and that heavy wasn't really appreciated and of course I was totally unprepared.
Bec sorry to hear about your friend, enjoy your holidays with DS and I hope he feels better. Look forward to catching up when you come back (hopefully with good news all round, IYKWIM).
Hello to everyone else.
AFM- I am 11 DPO today and as I posted yesterday I got my bt results and I did O this cycle. Don't think I am UTD though, have had some symptoms but I think I am imagining them. Have had sharp stabbing pains for last 5 days, lower back pain, exhausted, occasional nausea, dizziness yesterday, my usual headaches and tender BB's. Will probably wait until Saturday to test. Will let you know the results.
Well I am off on a week and a half holidays but will check in on my phone while I am away.
Shan
Hey everyone,
My last post was about the fact that i have been on metformin now for 4 months and in that time have had AF for the whole time except for a 6day break when they stopped, i have tried to call my doctor to see what i should do but he is either never there or to busy to talk and i get told to call back and it is just one big cycle, so after crying for the last few days as it feels i am alone and have no help and am not sure whats going on i have decided that i am not going to waste any more time or money on that doctor and have taken the next big step and have made an appointment with sydney ivf, i have to only wait 3 weeks to see the fs which i was surprised at how quickly we got in, so now lets hope that we can start on a proper plan which is going to acheive results, as i am so sick ofthe wait and see approach that we keep getting.
I hope everyone is doing great whatever stage of your cycle your at and fingers crossed we all get our VERY VERY deserving BFP soon. :D
Hey all,
:( Bummer about losing all our posts.....
Bec - So, so sorry to hear of your friend passing and that you never had more time to spend with her. Enjoy your 'break' from BB & school holidays :)
Mel - I am with Shan, no change in AF whilst on Clomid. You sure you wern't pg? Maybe you should get an u/s & bloods to check it all out?
Liz - Best of luck with this cycle :)
Kristie - Glad you are moving away from that Dr - having AF all the time is not good - you could become anaemic..... Best of luck with your IVF appt.
n2l - Fingers crosse you catch that egg - good luck!
AFM - I am on CD 23 and will be expecting AF next week - highly doubt I am pg. Will try to come back tomorrow, as we are on holidays for a week and a bit & probably won't be able to get to an internet cafe etc....
N2L you are brave doing the trigger shot, I don't even think I could get DH to do that one, the needle was a good inch or so long. The nurse had to do my last one. Just a little question, why did you have it at night is that when the FS wanted you to? I had mine in the morning, but my FS did ask if I knew a nurse around home, so am wondering if it makes a difference.
Bec that is sad news about your friend. Did you get to say your goodbyes to her. Oh that would have been a little scary for DS not being able to walk, at least it isn't anything serious and you get to spend more time with him. Take the hols to relax and let your body recover from TTC for a while.
WBM not sure if it was from the clomid or what, but my last AF before I started the injections was unbareable and I took prescription Ibprofen to stop the pain, which only slightly helped. Don't know what was going on as all my others were normal, hopefully you weren't pg and lost bub.
Shan that is exciting news that you o'd. Hopefully you caught that egg and you will be posting your BFP next week.
Kristie that is good news that it is only going to take you 3 weeks to see IVF doc. And poo on your old FS not calling you back. That is one thing that I like about mine, if I have a question and no-one is available, either he or the nurse will give me a call back. Hopefully when you go you can start a fresh and move forward with your journey.
Rhi, fingers crossed for you hun to be pg. Have fun on your holiday.
How is everyone else going, hope you are travelling well.
AFM well DH is sick again, so I had to do my injection again this morning, which I am getting braver at doing. CD9 and day 3 of injections. I'm on the same dosage as last cycle and have to go back next mon for an ultrasound (for an update). Hoping I catch that little egg this cycle I am sooo longing to be pg and watch our baby grow up into their own little person. Sorry just feeling a little down in the dumps this arvo seeing all the pg people around me.
Looking forward to seeing some BFP's on here there looks like there are a few that will be ready to have tests in the next week. :bluedust: :pink-babydust:
Just jumping in to say I am so sorry Bec for the loss of your friend. It is horrible and she was so young (from memory you said 40??). It certainly makes you realise life is short and you need to enjoy every single moment. As Jules said enjoy your break. Will probably do your mind the world of good to take a mental break (if that's possible). Take care hun and we are here for you if you need us. xx
Everyone else, good luck this month - I keep checking in to see if there are any BFP's - I have everything crossed, you girls deserve a good result.
Take care everyone - good luck catching those eggs and to those of you nearing the end of your TWW.
Hey ladies,
Just a quick one to let you know I am thinking of you Bec, hope you are travelling as well as can be expected. That was so quick, I remember when you told us your friend was diagnosed, it was not long ago at all. Sending you massive hugs and hope the break is just what you need too honey.
Babydust to all, looking forward to seeing some much awaited BFP's on here very very soon.
Take care all
Xxoo
Hi girls,
thanks for all your messages of support. I'm doing ok, the funeral was today, which was hard, but I think I needed to accept that she really was gone. DS is much better, almost 100% which was great given they said up to 2 weeks.
The good news is that AF arrived today, so I am officially CD1 of a natural cycle. Given I didn't ovulate, I'm excited that AF even came!
Kristy- I'm glad you got into Sydney IVF so fast, and wish you all the best for your appointment.
Liz- GL with the new cycle, I super hope this is your round! FX for you (and well done on being brave with the jabs!)
Porsche- How are you going? Hope all is still good. Did you get another scan?
Keli & Pumpgirl & Tammara- hope your baby bumps are growing nicely and staying healthy for you
Jules- Have a great holiday! I hope you are PG and this TTW flies by
Shan- Have a great holiday too! GL tomorrow with your POAS and can't wait to hear how you go!
Mel- My AF itself hasn't been any different, but it does sound a little strange. Worth getting things checked out, I'd say. Hope you are feeling better now.
Hi to anyone I've missed. I really am having a break now...:P
Bye for now
Bec
Hi everyone!
What's happening to this site? It keeps telling me the link is broken!
I've been lurking for ages now, waiting to hear some announcements.... but I must have missed some.
AFM it wasn't my month. The OPK actually showed some activity but no luck! This month I am off Clomid as I am going in for my hysterosalpingogram - fallopian tube dye xray - so we're also having a no DTD month either. We also have our IVF/IUI appointment at the end of October so I think I have resigned myself to thats what is going to happen.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying positive
Claudette x
looks like everyone is either quite busy or having a break. Well I must say I have been to at the moment been too busy with home duties. Well I had my follow up FS appointment this morning, which I haven't been feeling any different like last time so didn't think it was going to work. Which I was sort of right as last time I had 3 good follies, and this cycle I had 1 that was only 12mm :( so more injections for me and they are now double the dose. I then have to go back on thursday and FX'd I get the trigger shot. So feeling a little crapy at the moment and hoping for some good news this cycle.
Hope everyone is going well, I am starting to miss everyone not being on here.
Hi Ladies
I've been having trouble with the site lately and my posts have been going AWOL. Yes i had another scan last week at 7 weeks 2 days and all is looking good. I got scan pics as well but untill i'm back at work i cant scan and post them lol. Not that there is much to see but I "know".
Bec I send my condolences. What a very sad day for you. Way to young to leave this earth.
Good luck Liz.
Hi Everyone,
We have all been a bit quiet of late, so I thought I better post and check in on everyone.
Sorry about your friend Bec, very sad. I hope that you are coping okay?
Liz - My fingers are crossed for you. I hope that you can ovulate and catch that little egg this month. Remember, it only takes one, so don't give up hope yet!
Porsche - Oh I can't imagine how exciting it must be to see a life growing inside you!
AFM - Went to see my doctor last week and she seems to think that I probably ovulated twice and that's why I had what seemed a short luteal phase and could help explain the additional pain. So she thinks that I probably ovulated around day 13 or 14 (hence why the 27 day cycle) and then again at day 17 (which is when I tested and got the positive OPK). Also helps explain why I felt so hormonal. Anyways, this month I am feeling a lot more relaxed. On cycle day 10 today, and at this stage I feel normal! I also got some Preseed (my chemist stocks it) and tried it out last night. It is so worth it! It's far more comfortable (if you are dry from the Clomid), and made me feel more relaxed because before I was worried about not having any EWCM. We'll see how it goes this month anyways!
Hi everyone.
Just wanted to pop in to say sorry to hear of the passing of your friend Bec. I remember you telling us all she was sick. Since the site went down I haven't been getting updates from this thread so I only just read about what had happened. Sorry for the late response. It's such a terrible thing and I know there is nothing anyone can say to make things seem better so I'm just going to leave it at that.
All the best to every in your TTC journey's. FX for you all that you will get your BFP very soon. I miss all of you in here.
Well I just want this week to be over. Went back to the FS for another scan and I still only have 1 follie and it is still too small (16mm). So more injections and go back on monday to get the trigger shot. Why can't my body just do what it is supposed to do and fall pregnant AAAAHHHHH. Dh is trying to be supportive and it is helping a little, but need to have something positive happen in my life. Sorry rant over, just feel like absolute s**t.
WBM, goodluck for catching that little egg and hopefully your body doesn't send you bonkers this cycle IYKWIM.
Bec, how are you going hun, hopefully you are having a nice relaxing holiday with DS and are taking time out for yourself.
Porsche you must be nearly 9/10 weeks, hoe you are still travelling well.
Hi to everyone else, it is quiet in here.
It is very quiet in here lol. That sucks you have to keep going with the jabbing. It's not pleasant. I'm still jabbing as well but for diffrent reasons lol. I'm 8 weeks 2 days today.
