Jules - Hun, I have my fingers crossed, I really hope that this is just a normal pregnancy thing and bubs holds on tight, Keli's advice to get a BT seems like a good idea.. Are you getting a 7 week scan?
Hope - How are you feeling today? I hope that the spotting has calmed down and everything is OK
Kris - Fantastic you start clomid tonight, you sound super positive, FX this is your month
Bec - How are you today hun?
Shan - How are you going? Have you get your BT results back yet?
Keli - Funny you say that as I have this funny feeling there is two, either that or I am just trying to mentally prepare DH just in case (I think it is working as last night he said good night you "three"). I have a 7 week scan on 16 August so all will be known then. I feel like I need to try and hold back a little, am so so excited, but who knows if this one will stick, I have never had a BFP before so I have no idea...
I am sending positive thoughts to Hope and Jules, hope your bubs are both going strong and you ladies are feeling OK.
Thanks for the support everyone and the well wishes. I got in to see my OB this morning about the spotting. I had rang yesterday to see if I should be concerned cause I don't want to take any chances and he said to come in today. Anyway, the spotting had stopped yesterday evening and I haven't had anything since it stays that way. He did a scan while I was there and everything looks AOK. I seen the little heart beat which was reassuring. He didn't do any BT's, I am assuming that is because the spotting has stopped. Hopefully it was nothing and it all keeps going well. Thankyou everyone for listening to my concern's, I know it wouldn't be easy for some of you to you all.
Pumpgirl: GL with BB's getting bigger, lol. All the best with the new store.
Miss Kris: Woo Hoo for the Clomid. All the best with this round. Keep at your "Positive" wall, sounds like it is working for you. Hope the pain has subsided.
Porsche: GL with the injections
Keli: I don't think the three thumbs thing is weird at all. My nana had 6 toes on each foot. It'll be interesting to see what they find on your scan. Looking forward to hearing about it.
Bec: You have every right to "want it now", we all know that feeling. It's so hard when you are so consumed about falling pg and you want nothing more and nothing is happening. It will happen soon, I'm for you. I admire your strength.
Sorry I have been MIA, had a bit of a up and down weekend.
Pumpgirl - Wow, congrats on your fabulous news, both of them. Good idea to have the heart rate monitor on and don't forget to keep your temp regulated. Good luck getting the shop up and running soon.
Hope - Glad to hear everything went well this morning, great that you got to hear bubby's heart beat, must be reassuring. to you.
Bec - Hopefully the heavy AF is a good sign and you will be posting a BFP on the list next month. I agree about the wanting it now, I don't like waiting either.
Rhi - I agree with the other girls about the blood test, might help put your mind at ease. for you.
Keli - How exciting that you get to see your little bub, let us know how it goes, I love that you keep us updated.
Porsche - Thanks for all your help with my charts, they are still all over the place but more about that later. I hope everything goes well with you this cycle and that you are being added to the list as a BFP too.
Kris - I am glad you are excited about starting the clomid again. What dose and days are you on? Hopefully you get a BFP on this cycle.
Hi to everyone else. Sorry if I forgot anyone.
AFM - Well BT Friday didn't start well, I ended up with 3 holes and a couple of good bruises. 1st vein disappeared, 2nd only got 1ml of blood and the 3rd took about 10minutes to get 10ml, so should have taken it as a sign that things weren't going to go well.
Saturday night DH and I went to the local show for a night out. If one more person asks me when I was going to have a baby (or tells me to start as I'm not getting any younger) I am going to scream. I did have a good chat with a girl I use to swimming train with who is due in October. She had a lot of trouble TTC as well and has apparently been having recurring dreams about me so hopefully that is a good sign.
Sunday was spent relaxing on the couch as it was a late one the night before and I was verrrry tired. Was feeling pretty good as FF Chart predicted ovulation last Thursday based on temps.
Monday I had a day off work, luckily as Dr's office rang and shattered any hope of anything this month. BT results showed that I am still not ovulating and I have to double my dose of Clomid next month. I was pretty devastated (still am) and now have to wait for AF to arrive so I can start again.
Pumpgirl, lol that would be awesome if you had twins. I had a feeling I was too, think it was due to the excessive ms and the fact that I was on Clomid. KUP
Hope, glad to hear the spotting has stopped and you got to see the HB, that’s awesome hun.
Oh ShanShan, so sorry to hear your new hun, just one blow after another isn’t it. So what does Clomid are you up to now? I have everything crossed that next moth is a doubly good month for you hun. Hope you’re feeling better.
Hi ShanShan,
i am on 50mg of clomid, and won't need to go up as i ovulated on it. However, i have lost my repeats prescription in case i need it again! Can't find the bluming thing anywhere!!
Oh and that totally sucks about the blood tests!! I hate needles and i would have walked out if she couldn't find the vein first try!! *shudder* absolutely hate needles!!
Keli I started on 50mg so up to 100mg next month. Just starting to wish something would go my way. Isn't helping that I have nausea today.
Kris the nurse taking the blood is a friend and I actually felt bad for her cause I have dodgy veins. I usually leave with at least 2 holes. You get used to it and luckily needles don't phase me (must be all the blood tests I had as a teenager when they were trying to diagnose the fibromyalgia, lol). I used to donate blood and I am sure they used to shudder when I turned up with my dodgy veins.
Pumpgirl a huge congrats to you, my fingers are crossed that you have a event free pregnancy.
Bec, I was sure you were going to be posting a BFP this month. And it is so okay to want to have a baby now, that's want we all want and I think deserve. Like shan said, hopefully having a heavy AF is a good sign for this month. FX'd for you.
Shan, looks like you are going onto the next step with your journey upping the dosage of clomid. My viens are dodgy as well, I have found if I make sure that I drink lots of water leading up to the test it is alot easier for having BT. Just a little question if you don't mind me asking, do you see Dr Watson at Northwest Private? IKWYM about people asking "when are you having a baby", everyone seems to be asking us and is just so hard not to say, well we are trying, but it just osn't that easy for some people. Hugs to you.
Miss Kris FX'd that this cycle works, at least you know that you o'd on 50mg. GL for not needing the repeat script.
Hope, can't say much, cause I have never been pg, but can't you sometimes, have a little bit of brown spotting at the beginning of the pg?? At least you were able to talk to your fs and the spotting stopped for you. FX'd that you have a carefree pg for the rest of it.
sorry to anyone I have missed, babydust to everyone still DTD and best wishes for those UTD.
AFM, day 5/10 of provera and already the wierd dreams have started, well not started as I constantly have them, they just seem to get wierder while taking provera. I have had the busiest weekend. We had a BBQ at our place for my b'day so we spent sat cleaning up the downstairs (luckly cause it rained sun) and went shopping for all the food. Sunwas good, as I only had to prepare a few things for lunch and got to relax before everyone came and then enjoy the afternoon with everyone istead of running around. Nothing else to report until AF ariives which should be in approx 15 days.
Am off for Beta HCG tomorrow, with follow up on Friday and u/s. I know that I am m/c (or have) due to blood loss, lack of pg symptoms amongst other things. So, I will be back to join you lovelies permanently probably next week if I feel up to it.
Oh Jules...I can't say anthing that will help, except that I really hope you are wrong and all is well. Take the time you need, but know we are here for you whenever you need us. Massive, massive hugs to you. PM me if you feel like venting in private.
Love,
Bec
ShanShan, not sure if you’re read what I’ve written before but both my sister and I found the grumpy mood side effects much much less on 100mg of Clomid than we did on 50mg, not sure why but hope that is the same with you hun. GL for this next round.
Totally feel for all of you having ppl ask when you’re having a baby, I find it the rudest question ever (clearly cos of what we have been through). In the end I was just blunt straight back to people saying “we are trying and have been for 3 years, but it’s not quite as easy as you’d think, I have some problems”. I figure if ppl are going to ask rude questions then they are bound to get rude answers, maybe I am just a *****, lol! Sorry rant over!
Liz, happy birthday, sorry we missed it. Hopefully you got to have a few sneaky one’s since you are awaiting AF at the moment. Hope it was a lovely day. You need to change your sign now, lol!
Oh Rhi, that is just awful hun, I was so hoping that everything will sort itself out. It’s just not fair, this is not even your first mc either is it? Thinking of you and DH during this time, big hugs being sent your way.

Keli I hope you are right about the moods not being worse on 100mg, My mother's (who is also my boss) reaction was that double the moodiness isn't going to be tolerated, lol. I know what you mean about the rude reply, I am at the stage where that is what the next person to ask is going to get.
Liz happy birthday for last weekend, hope it was a good one. I drink a lot of water before blood tests but it still doesn't seem to help unfortunately. No I don't see Dr Watson, My Dr is in Toowoomba although if we have to start assisted TTC then I will probably be looking for a new one.
Rhi for you.
for everyone
AFM - Well this week just keeps getting worse out here. Started off with the septic system at our house blocking, thank god DH was there to deal with that but now there is literally S*** everywhere, lol. Lucky he is very handy and we didn't have to call the plumber. Also been feeling like I am car sick for the last couple of days.
I thought that was bad enough for the day but the worse was yet to come.
While getting morning tea my mother received the devastating news that her little brother died from a massive heart attack this morning. He was 2 days short of his 51st Birthday, my grandfather died of a heart attack when he was 51. So it has been a very emotional morning as every time mum cries I cry (hormones aren't helping either as I cry at the drop of a hat lately anyway) . Will be travelling out west for the funeral this weekend so I may be MIA for a while after today.
Sorry I am so doom and gloom lately, hopefully things will pick up soon and I can be happy shanshan again.
Shan - I am so sorry to hear of your uncle's passing, my thoughts are with you and your family at this time and agree with Keli 51 is far too young! Sorry you are having a tough time right now, I hope that the increased dosage next month will bring you positive results. I agree about asking when you are going to start a family, to me it is the height of rudness, I started saying to people I am not sure I will have kids so they would stop asking, it's funny how it is always the randoms too - I think family and friends new better! Take care of yourself hun!
Jules - I hope that you are wrong about this one and that everything is fine. Take care of you!
Hope - that sounds positive, fingers crossed hun.
Liz - Thanks very much and huge happy birthday to you! Sounds like you had a lovely (albiet busy) weekend. I hope you were spoilt rotten. Boo to bad dreams - god it's a trip huh. I am still having weird, vivid dreams.
Rhi, I'm sending you big hugs hun like bec said, we are all here for you if you need to talk or let it out.
Shan big hugs to you and your family, I too agree that 51 is way to young to go. Spending lots of time with your family will be good for you and your mum. Oh dear about the s*** everywhere, glad DH was able to deal with it.
Pumpgirl you're welcome
AFM I have been one spoilt wife, and no you didn't miss my b'day it was today, I can't believe it 25 today. And yes Keli it has been a good week without having AF here IYKWIM . Well I better go and get ready so we can go out for dinner.
I ordered a chocolate pudding thingy from the hungry jacks drive through, upon arriving at the window, i was informed they only have sticky date left (much to my dismay), i was so distraught i started crying.
Lol! Stupid Clomid!
I ended up having a caramel sunday and OMG its never tasted so good! Lol!
it stays that way. He did a scan while I was there and everything looks AOK. I seen the little heart beat which was reassuring. He didn't do any BT's, I am assuming that is because the spotting has stopped. Hopefully it was nothing and it all keeps going well. Thankyou everyone for listening to my concern's, I know it wouldn't be easy for some of you
to you all.
for you. I admire your strength.
to you.
for you.
