    Hey all,

    Sorry I have been MIA - got back from holidays on the weekend and spent it all doing washing & getting organised for the daily grind. Back at work now & there are some upheavals :S so that is playing on my mind. I haven't had a chance to go back to the old thread yet, but I wanted to say Hi! to everyone, hope you are all well. x

    Hi girls!
    I just wanted to let you know that my appointment today went well, all test results came back normal, including hormone and insulin was just a touch high. Now have to take primulot to induce AF and we start jabbing next week! Woohoo, I ca't wait to get started!
    I'll pop back in tomorrow and do persies.
    Hope you're all well!

    Hi everyone

    Just a quick post from me - feeling a little down today.

    AF arrived on Sunday night Today I am CD4 so about to start my last round of clomid. My FS doesnt want to do any more after that. I am definitely ovulating on it though which is a good sign I guess. The next step for me (I think - unless the FS specialist changes her mind) is an antagonist IVF cycle. To be honest I am not sure DH is comfortable with the whole IVF thing (long story) so it's a BIG fingers crossed for this last clomid cycle. Otherwise.....not sure what....

    Shan Shan & Miss Kris - It looks like a few of us are on our third round of clomid together this month so hopefully it's the magic one for all of us!

    Anyway, that's enough of me feeling sorry for myself.

    Hope everyone else is well

    take care

    Nothing2lose Have you had your tubes flushed? There is always IUI to try as well before IVF. It cheaper on the hip pocket and it's not as invasive as IVF.

    Bec that is great news about you app. Oh the fun of jabbing yourself, what sort of cycle are you doing, IVF or IUI?? sorry can't remember if you have said anything. goodluck with it all.

    Rhi it is good to hear from you again and hope you had a lovely holiday.

    N2L poo on AF showing up I was so thinking you were going to post your BFP this cycle. And like Porsche said, IUI is alot cheaper than IVF and alot less invasive. And IKWYM about DH's not been comfortable with IVF, I am thinking I am going to have an argument with my DH about IUI soon. I was wanting to do the full IUI cycle next time if this cycle doesn't work, and he keeps saying but "nothing is different, all they do is squirt it up there instead of us DTD". I know it shouldn't matter but I just want to move forward, as if we do have to do IVF then I want to start saving, due to us not having an ubundance of money we will have to stop doing everything and save for a year or 2. (sorry for that little rant). I have everything crossed for to to get UTD this cycle so you won't have to worry about it all.

    Well I am day 3 of my TWW and already I am dying to do a test. This cycle has been quite different to my first assisted cycle, it took more jabs to have my follie the right size and last time my boobs were killing me after I had the trigger shot and this time there is nothing. Hey I'm not complaining as it is so good not to be in pain, but man I wish I knew what my body was going to do. Hope all of you lovely ladies are having a good week, yay it is nearly over.

    Sending everyone some and

    Hi Everyone,

    I am not even going to attempt persies, it's been so long! It didn't help that I lost the thread, but also everything has just been so crazy! I hope that everyone is okay?

    This cycle has been better than last, I am far more relaxed and not as full on in thinking I am pregnant everytime I feel a twitch! I am CD18, but no idea if or when I ovulated, so can't say where I am really. I have had some light pink spotting when I wipe, which I think might be related to ovulation, but can't be sure. Other than that, just hot flushes and headaches in the last couple of days (not sure why the headaches). Basically I am just waiting for AF this month, rather than worrying about where I am in the cycle etc. I guess I am trying to pretend I am "normal", IYKWIM?

    Hi all.......

    Am new to this thread my df and i have been ttc for 16 months now and have been on clomid for the last 4 months 50mg days 5-9 and what a whirlwind that has been with all the side effects i got from it. Am back to the fs next week to see what we will do from here. Not sure if we want to stay on clomid anymore or move onto something next as my cycles are still all out of whack. Am on cd30 wanting to test but holding off as my last cycle was 35 previous to that was 34 then 37 so a little hard to know when to test as we are over seeing a negative result.... Just seeing if anyone can give me a little insight into what i could be expecting next after clomid....

    Hi Mooz and welcome to the thread, the ladies on here are just wonderful and the support and advice is fantastic. I am guessing from what you have said about your cycles, that you are infact ovulating, so that is why your clomid dosage hasn't gone up. I'm not sure about what your FS will say, but I know for me the next step was IUI, but I myself didn't ovulate on clomid by itself even at 150mg. GL with your journey and hope you get the answers that you want.

    WBM IKWYM about trying to think you are "normal", but with what we are going through, what is normal, not every cycle is the same. Oh I just realised that we are in the same part of our TWW, GL with the waiting game.

    I just wanted to thank everyone on this thread. We were TTC for 3 and a half years and after 8 (horrible) months on Clomid we has success!!!!
    During the 8 months on Clomid, I felt very alone until I read about people like myself who were going through the same thing.

    We are now due to have our first baby in February
