    HI Girls!
    Gosh I step out for a few days and I have just spent an hour catching up! Apologies cause I can't remember who said what, but I will try...

    First of all, welcome to Tasha! I hope that you can gleen as much support from these lovely ladies as I have. I know it can be rough at times, but it's nice to know that you are not alone. GL with your first round!

    Kristy- so sorry to hear your appointment threw you such a curve ball. I know it's scary not knowing what's happening, and it must be hard putting TTC on hold for a while. But just think, if you hadn't gone to the appointment you might not have know what was happening and it might have caught you off guard. Does that make sense? I hope it turns out to be a small and fixable thing and you are back on your feet soon.

    Jules- Sorry AF showed up, and good luck with jabs. I am also a fellow jelly belly, and I reckon it helps! the jabs seriously don;t hurt much at all. GL!

    Liz- how did the scan go today? Hopefully you can utilise your relatives shed... Looks like we are close in our cycles, hopefully in our BFP's as well!

    I know I've missed Rai, pumpgirl, Tammara, Shan, Mel, Porsche, Hope, N2L, Keli, Mez, Clamgee (you might be checking in!), and I promise to come back to do more persies tomorrow.

    AFM: Well I had my CD14 scan tomday and as usual not much is happening! Follies developing (heaps on each side) but no dominants yet. I have to up my meds and go back on Wed for another scan. I was a bit disappointed becasue I was hopping that I could Pregnyl today and DTD all weekend... lol! Anyway, a few more days wont really matter! Maybe I'll get all of the long weekend next weekend instead!

    I super hope you are all well. Waiting for those BFP's girls!
    Bec (hoping this is her cycle for a sticky bub)

    Hello everyone,

    Becnxavi - Thankyou, it's nice to meet some ladies who can help you through it. Before i registered here i felt so alone and nobody had any answers for me. But now i feel great!


    ShanShan - I have one tablet left of this round and so far NO side effects! apart from a tiny amount of pains in my ovaries, i can feel something goin on in there

    If you get side effects from clomid, do they only occur in the 5 days you are actively taking them? or is it all through your cycle?

    Hi ladies, hope your all doing well and trying to keep positive.

    I am almost there shan shan 15 days to go till my due date but i have had a little talk with my belly and told maddison i think it would be best if she arrives on november 2 - melbourne cup day. I have a phsyco same date/day thing we have lots of double up birthdays in both familys, we have a birthday on halloween, anzac day, the queens actual bd, new year day, chrissy eve and things seem to happen on significant days. Good chances are that she will share a birthday anyway, we have october 31, nov 1, 3 and 6 oh and my friend is on november 22 but there is no way im holding out that long lol. Im feeling ok just very tired but im not working now so i have the chance to curl up in bed and snooze, my only problem is carple tunel in my left hand and fore arm which is pretty horrible but worth every pin and needle

    Hope your travelling along nicely porche and other graduates of corse have a great day

    Hey all,

    Shan - GL for your appt. I hope you can get a new direction!

    Liz - :S I'm sorry to hear that your scan wasn't as positive as it should be. Bec made a good point though. I would still be in the dark too if it wasn't for my FS.

    Bec - Good to know that the extra padding helps! lol. I picked up my meds yesterday & just re-checked with her where to jab & she said 'here, on this roll of fat!' lol Just DTD the weekend away anyway I say! hehe

    Tasha - I got the side effects mainly in the second half of my cycle....

    Hi to everyone else, got to go - out with my sister wedding dress shopping

    Hi Ladies

    tammara - My DD was born on Melbourne Cup day wayyyy back in 2002. She was born 1 minute before the race was run lol. No wonder she's horse mad.

    Rhichichi - Good luck with the jabbing you'll be fine.

    It depends Tasha. I found my worst side effects (migraines, nausea, dizziness) were when I took the tablets but the hot flushes and moodiness tended to be afterwards. Be prepared that sometimes ovulation pain on clomid is quite painful, but on the up side, if you get that at least you know you ovulated! HTH

    Yes, i have heard this too. The last few cycles i had ovulation pains (i think they were o pains) but still unsure if i did O or not.
    I have also heard that sometimes the body gears up to ovulate, giving you O symptoms, but then no egg is released. My cycles have been so crazy, it will be nice to just make a phone call and have someone tell me if i ovulated or not, rather than wondering and waiting! (OPK's don't work for me)

    Thanks again!
