    Hi all

    Dont have much time - lots to do before bed! Just wanted to post an update re: my fs appointment today. As it turned out my usual fs was back from the conference so I saw her. I have one big fat follicle on my right ovary (that's the only ovary that has done anything on any of the three clomid cycles). The follie measured 23mm. I'm cd16 so I'm pretty happy with that. My uterine lining was 11mm which isnt so good apparently. It is a little on the thickish side. She thinks I may have endometrial hyperplasia (which means the lining is thick because it never completely "empties out" during AF). I have to have a scan on the first couple of days of AF so the FS can get a "baseline" for the endo thickness (unless, of course, I get UTD this month).
    Other than that she gave me another script of clomid with two repeats...I just asked her and she gave it to me...!!! But DH and I have an appointment with her on November 10 to determine plan of action. Most likely this will be antagonist cycle of IVF because, in her words, "I dont want to miss the boat" with less effective treatments if the clomid doesnt do the job.
    Anyway, three nights of bumping uglies for me. I guess sometimes you just have to take one (or three) for the team lol
    Oh yeah, had to give myself another trigger shot of ovidrel tonight. Didnt hurt a bit! I may have a future career as a nurse
    Will post persies when I have more time!

    Take care all

    Hi All,

    Just checking in to say I am thinking of you all - desperately hoping for some BFP's

    Bec - I am doing well thanks - just got back from 5 days in Noosa, I am 16 weeks on Saturday - time has gone so fast. I also love Piper and Willow, actually our girls names are Willow Rose and if we have a second it is Harper Hunter, but we would consider Piper too. I think we are on the same wave length re: names as I love Xavier too We have Archie if this one is a boy.

    Kris - Good luck this round hun - I hope you get a good prog number and catch the egg this month!

    Liz - Sorry AF arrived, how frustrating - sounds like it is a good idea to take a mental break and focus on you for a while, hopefully you don't need it but would be good to get 1 free cycle!

    Keli - How far along are you hun?

    Tammara - good luck with the birth, and I love the reason you chose that name, I am sure she will cry - just wonderful xxx

    N2L - good luck with your scan hun, I hope that you get the all clear and it isn't endometrial hyperplasia.

    Shan - how are you going hun?

    Porsche - good luck for your NT scan, although I am sure it will all go super well!!

    I am sure I have missed someone - hello!!!

    Sending heaps of

    Hi All,

    No persies today. Just a quick note to let you know that I am still waiting for AF. Based on the midcycle bleeding I had, I am guessing that if I ovulated, it was around day 17, so If AF is going to arrive, she should be due about nowish, but still waiting! Will wait another week and then do a pregnancy test (who am I kidding, I will do another 50 tests before then) and then if I don't have a positive by then will go to plan B and force the next cycle.

    Hope you are all well and goodluck for your scan Porsche!

    WBM, Lol at your next 50 tests, hopefully they will show up a BFP, fx'ed hun!

    Pumpgirl, wow I cant believe you are 16 weeks already, that is so exciting. I am 31 weeks, so counting down the weeks now, getting very excited though.

    N2L, GL with your next round, sounds like your FS is happy for you to stay on Clomid at this stage so fx'ed it works for you!

    Rhi, hope you are doing well.

    Porsche, GL for your next scan, looking forward to GREAT new from it.

    Bec, hoping your bloating has gone down as you draw closer to O'ing, GL for this month hun!

    Hi Rai,

    Welcome to BB & this thread. Sorry to hear you have had no success on Clomid. Any plans to try something else or are you best to stick with Clomid?

    Hi to everyone else, hope you are all well!
