HI guys,
Sorry I haven't been in for ages! I just have so much on my plate at the moment. I won't attempt to catch up, becasue I don't know where you all are in your cycle. Welcome to the newcomers, I hope you all have a short and sweet journey!
AFM: Well after all the hoo haa with missed scans and the like I'm not sure what is happening with me. I think I ovulated last Mon/Tue, but who knows. I got a blood test Monday to see if I did, I'm just waiting for the results. I think nothing is happening, and it'll just have to induce an AF. I'm also sick with the flu, so I'm all over the place.
I will be in more often I promise!

Hope everyone is well, sorry I haven't been on posting - I have been stalking as such then run out of time to post! lol
Welcome to the thread Princess Xanthe and Yas, you'll find tons of information & support here
Tasha - Starting Clomid is a bit suck it see unfortunately :S It is hard to gauge what is going on without monitoring. I only had bloods taken on CD21 to confirm I had O'ed, which showed I did but I had no luck on Clomid, so that is why I am doing IUI (I just hand around here cos the IUI thread is soooo quiet plus I love all the gals here!)
The side effects I had on Clomid were insomnia, hot flushes & the really bad emotional stuff - I was particularly prone to 'losing it' at the drop of a hat :/
Pumpgirl - Glad to hear all is progressing well for you, 20 weeks has flown by
Gosh, I have just realised how far back I have to go for perssies.... crickey time flies
I will just post hellos to Tammara (Where is that baby!?), Kris, Liz, Bec, Claudette, N2L, WBM, Keli, Jope, Porsche & Shan plus any lurkers or anyone I have missed. Phew, there are alot of us
AFM -Tomorrow I get a blood test to see if I have ovulated and if so, back on the 24th for pg test.... I hate the tww :/
Havent got much time for a post but thought I would stick my head in and give an update re: our review appointment with the FS yesterday. DP did an andrology test and the results were really good so that is a bit of a relief. We have booked in to start IVF in February (antagonist and ICSI) so that's a pretty big step. In the meantime, I will continue with clomid. The big surprise when I was there I had a scan to check follicles. Although I was only CD13 I had a 20mm follie on my right ovary. In a nutshell, this means my follies are getting bigger earlier. I am about to surge (according to HPK) so it will be a weekend of BD-ing for us ; - )
Hi guys
Just a quick question. What are the se of primolut? Just wondering what I have to look forward to because the dr prescribed 10 days of it at my appt today
Well I need some help (as usual)! Anyone have LPD? I realised that the two months that I have now ovulated, my period is coming way too early! The first month, my GP told me I probably just ovulated twice, once earlier and then the time I picked it up with OPK+ (which was a nice thought), but I don't think that is the case and the same thing happened this month. I got AF last night, and I was only about 10 DPO, maybe 11. It was exactly the same the last month I ovulated 10/11 DPO. I realise this is treatable, but I think it has highlighted the need for more a more hands on approach with blood tests/follie scans etc. I guess that's what I find frustrating about doctors. They love to give you some advice and a prescription and send you away for a few months and hope you don't come back! I have my next appointment with the OB/GYN in two weeks, and he said he would refer me onto a FS is I wasn't pregnant by then, and now I am definitely going to pushing for it!
I read too, if the LPD is related to a the Coprus Luteum, that a higher dose of Clomid may actually improve the follicle and there fore CL quality and fix the LPD? Has anyone here had success with lengthening their lutuel phase with Clomid? I am only on 50mg, thinking that maybe it's enough to get me ovulating, but not enough for good quality egg formation...?
I dont think I can help per se other than to say my LP has been a little bit all over the place in the four months I have been on clomid. I did have one month where I think it was 12 days, but then another that was definitely 15 days. I have been on 100mg of clomid the whole time.
I think you should push to go to the FS. It just increases your chances of Bd-ing the right time and it really is their area of expertise. I guess you could liken it to going to a hairdresser to get your make-up done. They could probably do it but a make-up artist would have you looking your very best (IYKWIM!).
Wannababy - I have heard great things about vitex helping with luteal phases. Maybe look into that? Other wise an FS *may* suggest progesterone???? I would be wanting to see the FS as I tend to agree with Nothing2lose. You need a Dr who really knows what to look for etc....
I've been stalking Tammara's November thread and I read she was being induced on the 10th and bubs being born 11th. So I'm hoping she's holding that little girl in her arms by now.
ShanShan - I haven't used primolut so I don't know what the SE are. Sorry.
Hi to all the new girls and a GBH to all our regulars. I think it's time to get off the merry go round and hear of some BFP.
AFM - We are planning on telling the family this week end. We are now 15 weeks 3 days and still only my Mum and my MIL & FIL know. I don't think we can hold out any longer because I'm going to get a bump lol. We'll a bigger one than I have now. I can't hide it forever but I can hide it for a little longer. We haven't even told my kids yet. Very naughty I know. Hope you all have a great week end!
Congratulations Tammara. Were you told you were having a girl, I can't remember if you said you knew definitely or just had a feeling. It just goes to show that we never know for sure until they arrive.
Bec have you got your results yet?
n2l hope you had a good weekend that will result in your BFP
Mel can't really help with your question but maybe you should ask your specialist about it
Porsche how did the announcement go? You must be the best secret keeper ever.
Rhi good luck for thursday
Tasha FX'd that you caught that egg
Pumpgirl I haven't started the resistance class yet as I have been away the last couple of weeks but I start this Thursday. Took a while to find music and then to get the timing right but I think I have it sorted. Thanks for your help.
Welcome to clairesmummy and welcome back bumbumg
To anyone I forgot sorry and hello
AFM CD 58, day 5 primolut. Had Dr's appt on Thursday and seeing as my chart was all over the place he did and internal US. Right ovary covered in lots of little cysts and a huge cyst in my left ovary. Started me on Primolut for 10 days to bring on AF, upped my clomid to 150mg for last try. I ahve an appt on the 23rd December to see if the last try worked. If not the next steps are Laparoscopy and needling my ovaries and if that doesn't work it is IVF. Dr didn't sound very hopeful either after doing the US.
Went to Brisbane for the weekend (Powderfingers last concert was awesome) and of course every where I turned there was pregnant bellies and bubs. After Thursdays appt it was a bit depressing and I was glad to get home.
Sorry for the gloomy post but if I can't vent to you guys who understand the gloom then I will just keep it bottled up until I lose it.
Thanks for the feedback on Primolut Bec, really not looking forward to AF now though, it is painful enough already and I don't know how I will function if it is worse. Doesn't help that i have had crampy stabbing pains for the last 2 weeks already and they keep getting worse. Also did you get a constant hot flush from it? I don't seem to be able to cool myself down.
Will be interesting to see if the increase in the clomid dose increases my SE. It did las time so if it happens again noone will be able to even look at me without getting their head bitten off, lol.
Long post sorry but it has been a while, (sorry it was mainly about me, lol)
GL to everyone in their TWW and anyone about to O. We really need a BFP in this thread.
Tammara - OMG a little boy!!!! I hope you didn't do an all pink nursery lol. He might get a complex. Congratulations anyway. Sounds like you had a tough labour and YAY for the epidural. Gotta love the epi!. And 9 pound whooly dooly. A nice um healthy weight. Enjoy it while you can. And good on DH for being an angel. He must be proud as punch.
Bec - Ah if you forget to call, you forget to call. No biggy. So you call a day or 2 later. You do have a life and I'm glad it slips your mind because you aren't thinking about TTC 24/7 IYKWIM.
Rhichichi - When is your BT? Must be comming up soon? FX
Hi to everyone else. And good luck for your current cycles.
We did the annoucment over the weekend. Started by sitting the kids down and putting the ultrasound DVD on and asking them what they thought. So they are excited. We then went down the coast and told the BIL & his wife. And as predicted she wants to do the baby shower lol.
We then told DH's Grandma and one of his aunts and now the whole world knows lol. We hadn't even walked in the door at home from telling them and we were getting TXT messages lol. Cat's out now. Who's idea was that??
Tammara!!! A baby boy! I hope you weren't too shocked with all the drama, and are coping ok. I had an emergency c-section too, Xav was a whopping 10p 1oz, so I know it's not easy to come to terms with! But he's here and he's healthy and you are finally a mum. Awesome! Lots of love to the three of you!
Porsche- I'm glad the big reveal went well, and I'm sure everyone is so excited for you. It's great the kids are so excited, they will be a wonderful party of your pregnancy this time I'm sure.
Shan- now that you mention it, I did have hot flushes on the prim. It wasn't as bad as the clomid ones though! I am the same as you, I see preggo ladies everywhere! I went to a friends house warming on Saturday, and EVERY SINGLE COUPLE has a baby under 1 or a big preggo belly! I felt very odd one out! Soon that'll be us though!
BumBumG- I'm glad you're finally able to start the clomid! GL with no SE!
Hi Tasha, Clairesmum, and JEnniesmum, so I haven't formally introduced myself and said hello! Hope you're all going ok!
Hi Jules, Pumpgirl, how are you both going?
AFM: I still forgot to ring and get my results! I felt vaguely AFy today, so I might not have too! At least I'd know I ovulated. I have been sick as a dog since last Wednesday and I'm finally on the mend, so I feel like I can manage the phone call tomorrow.
I'll keep you posted,
Bec

Hey Ladies..
I hope you dont mind me joining the thread.
Ill give you a little background.. My DH and I have been TTC since June 2009. I have been diagonsed with PCOS, and have an appointment with the FS next Tuesday. At this appointment I am going to talk to her about starting Clomid...
I was wondering who is on clomid? and how you are finding it.. How long you have been on it?
Wow, I have only been out for a couple of weeks, and there are so many new ladies on here and just heaps happening. I do appoligise in advance if I don't write to everyone, as I need to get my head back into the game and catch up with what everyone is doing.
Well firstly a HUGE CONGRATS to you and hubby Tamara. A little boy, that is so exciting and wow no wonder he didn't want to come out. Hope you are enjoying motherhood
Oh Bec, that is no good that you have been sick. Get better soon hun. Are you still on your first IUI cycle or second, sorry been out of the loop for too long???
Mollie welcome, you are going to find the ladies on here a world of knowledge and wonderful support. I myself found the SE of my first round of clomid the worst, hot flushes, moody as and had lots of trouble sleeping. I myself only did 3 cycles as even 150mg on clomid didn't get me to ovulate. Best of luck hun and hoping you don't have to stay here too long.
Porche, so glad everything is going wonderfully with your pregnancy. And for telling the family now, it must have been such a relief for you now.
Shan, looks like you haven't had the best cycle this time, sending you big hugs and hoping that everything you have been going through will be all worth it when you get your BFP.
Sorry if I have forgotten everyone, but like I said it has been way too long between posts.
AFM I am half way through my TWW. To fill you in on my assisted cycle this time, I was jabbing for 4 weeks and went up to 150iu per injection. during different times through the cycle I had 2 follies that disappeared and thought that it was going to be it when I went back last tues for my scan as I still had no follies. The FS got me to do another blood test and when I rang that afternoon he had said that I ovulated OMG I OVULATED BY MYSELF. And then I thought oh crap it had been a couple of days since DTD, so off home I went and jumped DH (sorry TMI). Also as my LP is short I am on progesterone pessaries nightly until I go back for a BT next Mon. I am half way through my TWW and am starting to anylise every little thing, which is starting to make me a little batty and I know I am going to give in and do a POAS test, but as a POAS test might not be accurate with the pregesterone I'm having will just have to wait and see.
Well sorry for babbling on a bit, looking forward to more BFP's on here.
and I know I am going to give in and do a POAS test, but as a POAS test might not be accurate with the pregesterone I'm having will just have to wait and see.
