    Bec, yep we are doing the same this cycle and if it doesn't work then we will be doing full IUI cycle next time. Yay for AF finally arriving and best of luck with the jabbing. Are you doing them or is DH going to do it for you?? I'm not sure if I will get DH to do them this time.

    Porsche I'm sure everything will be fine with your scan, should only be a couple of weeks away now.

    Well AFM AF has starting to slow down now and only having slight cramping which is good. I must say I have been a little moody yesturday and this morning, DH and I had a bit of an argument this morning, and both just needed to walk away and calm down. Am feeling better now, and DH said that he had thought over the last few days I was a little wierd, so I am thinking everything has finally caught up with me, oh well.

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

    Bec - i wouldnt risk it, it probably wont do anything to affect it but i personally dont think it is worth the risk. Maybe call the chemist or if you have an after hours number to call and just check.

    Not long at all to go for me - 4 weeks tomorrow and im deffinately feeling 36 weeks preg (not that im complaining) just getting to the uncomfotable stage i think.

    Glad things are still going along nicely for you porsche.

    Good luck ladies cant wait for some BFP's take care and night xxoo

    Hi All,

    Hope everyone is well. Think that we really need a BFP soon, I think that we could all use the motivation right now!

    Well I am just waiting for AF. I am technically day 29 today, but as I don't know when or if I even ovulated, I can't say where I am up to!? I of course couldn't help myself and have done about a thousand pregnancy tests, but all negative, so really I have no idea whether AF is on her way, I am UTD but too early for a BFP or I am still waiting to ovulate!? *sigh*

    Hope everyone is doing well.

    I am on my second round of Clomid and dont think I can do another month. I have been basically bedbound with agonizing back pain, due to the relaxing of the pelvis muscles. All fingers are crossed for this month. I am CD10 today and looking at possibly a whole 2 weeks of Bding to make sure. I have charted everything right down to the last second this month, simply because the pain of more clomid is too much.

    Not that it will happen (positive thoughts) but I was wondering, what else is being used out there? If I was to have to go on something else?

    Also I am going for my first ultrasound this week... can anyone tell me what that is about? Follicle size??? Whats a good size??? I have no idea what all this is.

    Thanks in advance and BFP Vibes all round.

    Hi Ladies

    Bec - Yay on AF arriving. I agree ith Tammara with the gonal and puregon. I wouldn't take it unless I had spoken to a nurse or FS. I still have a purgon carteidge hedre unopened from my cycle but I can't return it as they can't guarentee it has been stored right so it seems a waste to me.

    Epayne - I'm glad AF has settled down now. She's a horror at the best of times.

    Wannababymumma - I think a BFP is due in here as well.

    Tammara - I can't believe it's almost time. It's a bit sad for me as well. My EDD is fast approaching and I'm trying not to think about it.

    Lady_Tess - The next thing to try would be FSH injections and possibly timed intercousre or IUI after clomid. You have to move to more agressive treatments. I can't help with follie sizes I never had scans to check them whilst on clomid.

    AFM - 2 weeks till our 13 week scan. DH flies out tomorrow so MIL will come to the scan with me. M/S is stil around but has eaased off a little over the last 2 days. I last threw up on Saturday so I'm averaging 1-3 times a week lol. I'm a little over it now.

    Hi Lady_Tess: as Porsche said FSH injections is the next step. Do you know whether you have ovulated on Clomid? I've not heard of such severe pain before. I had a lot of trouble my first round of clomid with nausea and cramps and migraines, but it calmed right down after round two so you might be ok. A lot of the other girls have said that the symptoms calm down after the first round too. Unfortunately the best laid plans of charting, timing, knowing exactly when ovulate still don't guarantee anything (I know what you mean about charting everything, I used to do it too!) I don't mean that it won't help, but I know I used to beat myself up when AF arrived thinking "what else could I possibly have done?" We just have to do all we can to help things along and the rest is up to fate I guess. I hope that doesn't sound too preachy, I can just so sympathise with how you are feeling. BTW 16-18mm is the size they generally want follies before ovulation. Are you having pregnyl shot to induce ovulation or they letting you ovulate on your own (both are normal)? GL with the scan, I hope you have some nice big juicy follies!

    Porsche: I'm so excited for you! I know you must have been waiting with baited breath for 11 weeks to roll around. Bugger that DH is out of town for your scan, but I'll bet your MIL is excited to get to come. I know what you mean about Tammara's due date rolling aorund being hard on you. I reckon it's absolutely fair to still feel a bit jibbed about last time, even though you now have another beautiful soul growing in your tummy. hugs for you for when that date rolls around.

    Tammara: 4 weeks! WOW! Have you got your names sorted out? THat was my biggest stress with DS and we knew what we were having! GL with the birth, I realy hope it's short sweet and stitch free for you!

    Liz: Hope you're feeling better.

    WBM: I know what you mean about that rollercoaster. I can never just trust a BFN untill AF arrives, and even after that sometimes! I hope it was too early, and you have a BFP on the way.

    N2L: how are things going with you?

    Jules: You must be coming up to the end of your cycle? I've lost track. I hope you are well though.

    HI to everyone else, sorry for no persies!

    AFM: Well CD3 today and jabbing began! I decided to just use the puregon (thanks for the advice girls) so I was a day late in starting. I'm due to go for a scan late this week, but things NEVER happen quickly for me, so I'm assuming it will be next week till I see anything. Remember I said ages ago that a psychic told me I would have a Cancerian baby next? Well, if I fall pg this cycle, the baby would be due early to mid July...middle of Cancer starsign! I hope it's this month!

    I know exactly what you mean porsche and i think its perfectly natural to feel that way. I cant wait for you to reach 20 weeks - thats when i started to sort of feel safe

    Yes bec we have had names for ages now - our boy name Dylan i chose before we even got pregnant and maddison we chose a couple of months after we got preg. So she is maddison sheree. Im hoping for a short sweet stitch free birth also but seeing as she is in the top 90% size im thinking there might be some stitches.

    Have a good evening ladies hope your all well.
