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.
Liz - Progesterone won't affect a HPT so if you did a HPT and it was a BFP you could take that as being accurate. It's only HCG shots that will affect a HPT as HCG is what a HPT will pick up in your urine if your UTD. Yay on ovulating by yourself. Was your FS not doing regular BT's to see your levels? I really hope you caught that eggie. Best of luck.
Bec - I'm sure if it was a no O they would have called you to let you know what to do????
Mollie - Welcome - The girls one here are a great wealth of information and support. Everyone is different on how long their FS likes them to stay on the clomid for. Most FS like to see you pregnant within 3-4 cycles but if your not then more invasive tests are ordered to see if there are any underlying problems.
HI Mollie, and welcome. The ladies here are awesome, so awesome that even those of us who have moved on from clomid onto injections are still here. I second Liz, the first months SE were the worst. Take it at night it minises the hot flushes. And don't let your FS talk you into taking ity for too long. I did about 12 cycles, had 3 early m/c and am now doing gonal f injections (not as bad as they sound). I have 1 DS after 6 months on clomid in 2005, and many, many ladies on here have gotten then BFP's.
HTH,
Bec
P.S. Still forgot to get my BT results girls!
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.
