LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin #5

Hi wannababy,

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!).

Good luck sweetie x

Hi Ladies

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!

I just wanted to thank everyone on this thread. We were TTC for 3 and a half years and after 8 (horrible) months on Clomid we has success!!!!
During the 8 months on Clomid, I felt very alone until I read about people like myself who were going through the same thing.

We are now due to have our first baby in February :p

Hi all

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 ; - )

Anyway, just a quick update - as I said.

Write more later (or tomorrow)

wishing everyone well x

Sounds promising hun! Awesome news. When I had my scan prior to trigger the follie was 17 & they were happy to trigger me, so hoping the egg releases & you catch it! GL.

Hey JenniMac, Welcome to BB (unless you are posting under another name?) Congratulations on having success on Clomid & hopijng your pg continues well for the next few months.

Porsche - OMG I can't believe you still haven't formally announced! You are awesome at keeping secrets, as soon as we hit the twelve week mark - everyone knows! lol

WBM - Sorry I can't answer your Q but I did take Vitex for a little while but had no success, whereas my GF did. Not sure if you can take it with Clomid as well - you might need to speak to a Naturopath. In relation to upping your dosage, that is something that your Dr should be able to consider, but like one of the gals said, it isn't their speciality IYKWIM?

Shanshan - Sorry, I can't answer your Q. I hope one of the other gals can.

Hi to everyone else.

AFM- Progesterone is 57 & they were umming & ahhing whether I should do another 'booster trigger' or not..... They did say it may make my cramping worse (I have lower minor abdo cramping ATM), so I am to do another trigger anytime tonight & back on Thursday for a pg test.

Hope everyone enjoys their w/end. Weather in Melbourne is suppose to turn nasty :(

Thanks ladies!

I am definitely getting the referral and seeing I know what to expect, I don't want them to take a passive approach, I want the full hands on experience! Scans, blood tests and maybe even some trigger jabbing! I will demand that they do the all these things and work out WTF (excuse the french) is going on, because I am sick of the laid back "it will happen sometime this millenia" approach! *Takes a deep breath*

Okay, so those Sydney-ites - (in a Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "who is your FS and what does he do?"
I have heard great and not so great things about Sydney IVF, but also heard that Westmead Private is cheaper and better?? ANY advice or experience(s) that you have to share is appreciated!! Thanks girls :)

Hey WBM - I used Dr Bowman at Sydney IVF - although I didn't do IVF, I had assumed that was our next step (he was the one who monitored me on Clomid). He is absolutely brilliant, not easy to get into though. I also have another friend who used him for her successful IVF baby last year - and she raves about him. My sister used Dr Alison Ghee (from memory), she shares an office with Dr Bowman. She has had two successful pregnancies through SIVF.
FYI - I have a friend who used IVF Australia, although she did conceive I don't believe they are as good.
Good luck!

Hi Everyone
Just thought I would pop in as I will be joining the Clomid journey next cycle as well. Have just had my first appointment with my Ob/Gyn and he has given me a script for Clomid to start next cycle as I was to late to start this cycle by the time I seen him. He did examine me and found nothing of concern at my first appointment and DF had his SA as well and his swimmers are fine as well. We are praying that the Clomid does the trick for us so I won't need to have my tubes checked, but if that's what has to be done for us so be it. Not sure what to expect with the Clomid, my DR has put me on 2 tablets a day from CD5-CD9 then a BT at CD21 to see if I O or not. Can't wait to get to know you all in here and hopefully give you all a bit of support along the way.

How does everyone keep up with all the news!? I have trouble keeping track of anything more than 3 posts ago!:D Here goes:

Pumpgirl-Congratulations! (sorry if im a little late!) and thankyou, it does give me hope!

RhiChiChi-I haven't found clomid too bad. It sux you had no luck on it, fingers crossed for the IUI. I have looked into IUI, just incase.

Becnxavi- hope your feeling better soon, i hate waiting to find stuff out!

N2l-Looks like you have a fun weekend planned. Let's hope it's a lucky one ;)

ShanShan- I have a script for primolut, but i haven't used it yet. I actually had AF when i saw my GYN and he gave me the clomid script so i started straight away. I don't think the SE are that bad because he didn't mention anything about it to me, only clomid SE.

Wannababymumma- Good on you! You tell them. I hope you can get some answers asap!

Clairesmummy- Welcome, i have just started clomid. Advice (as from ladies in here) take them at night, then hopefully you won't get any side effects. Oh and use preeseed (sperm safe lube) heard good stuff about it,i am using it also. Good luck!

Phwew! I think thats everyone? Gosh i feel exhausted!

AFM- I called Monday for my BT results. My GYNO said my progesterone was at 13, but i was having strong pains a couple of days before my BT. He said that he is confident that i ovulated because i took my tablets late (days5-9) so it was probably late. I have also had lots of CM since Monday when all cycle i have had none, is that a sign? Im CD28 today and no sign of AF, but i have no idea how long this cycle will be either

Good luck to everyone:)

HI guys,
Porsche- I can't believe you've managed to wait so long to announce, but I get it! I'm so excited for you! ENjoy telling everyone :)

I can't remember who asked about primolut. I've taken it quite a few times, and haven't really had any side effects except for a more painful period. Usually it's abit lighter too. It's not too bad.

AFM: I still forget to ring and get my BT results, but I figure whaty will be will be, so I'm not stressing about it. I'll probably ring monday, becasue if I did o then I'll be finished TWWing by then and I can get a BT if AF doesn't turn up.

I'm still feeling awful so I'm offf to bed.
Hope everyone else is well,
Bec

Hi ladies

I am finally a mum!

I went over to the hospital on thursday at about 1am they decided to keep me in over night to see dr in the morning and broke my waters at abou 10am ish and contractions started from then up untill about 6am friday, unfortunately i only got to 3cm in the whole time very frustrating but in the end i had an epidural and that helped heaps. So we ended up having a c section and he was born yes i did say HE, what a shock it was when the dr said "he is a whopper".

His name is Dylan Leslie
weight 9 pound 12!!! no wonder he wasnt coming on his own
measured 51.5 cm long
head was 38 cm i think

So far ive been able to give him 3 feeds and expressed a couple for him.

Im feeling ok considering, dad has been absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! he is a natural.

I cant wait till each and everyone in here feels the love and joy that i hve been feeling, your time will come and that wait will mke it extra special xxoo

CONGRATULATIONS TAMMARA! Awesome news hun. So glad all is well & welcome to the world Dylan. x

HOLY MACARONI!!! Tammara, congratulations :) Wow, a boy. I had to do a double take when I read your post - you must have been so shocked!!!! Love the name, congrats babe!!! xxx

Hi Ladies,

I joined this thread a few months ago, and it took me this long to start on my Chlomid. Which I did yesterday, at night as recommended. Just jumping back in to follow along.
:dance:

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.

Hi Ladies

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 :p 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.

OMG - Sorry just came back and read - CONGRATS TAMARA! I bet you are over the moon!! xx

Hi Ladies

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.

I did 8 cycles all up and had 1 M/C. Good luck.

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!

Thanks Ladies for the warm welcome, and the bit of info. I have been talking to a few ladies, who all have recommended taking it at night. I have also googled it. Probably not the best idea but I am a complusive googler lol.
I have a whole list of questions to ask my FS, and I think I may have to have provera first as I am on cd65.

p.s Im still new with all the abbrevs so I will probs ask what some of them are like SE and a few others... ?? :hide:

Hi all!

I am only on my third day so I'm just curious about a few side effects I think I am having, but trust me I am not looking for any problems, just wondering if they're related.

First, swelling yes, and I've been taking them at bedtime. First night I did wake up sorta crampy. The swelling has gone down but it's there!

Initially I felt sorta euphoric, kinda high actually, the first day or two, but as all things hormonal change now it's headed a bit toward feeling disconnected, I wouldn't say depressed but perhaps it could head that way.

Also, is there any reason that I can't take panadol and/or panadol with codeine (obviously, I'm not pregnant now so I'm talking about drug interactions). I have a back problem that seems as aggravated as it is when I'm PMSing right now. It helps in the mornings, but I completely forgot to ask my doc if there's any drug interactions.

Thanks!
Bumbumg :D

Hi Mollie89 and BumBumG, welcome.
I am just finishing my first cycle on clomid. So far no side effects for me. I did have minor discomfort with ovary pain round the time i ovulated, but thats it. Should be starting my second round in a few days.

Mollie89- SE means side effects. There is a sub-forum that lists all the abbreviations i think. Good luck with your appointment. :D

BumBumG, i wouldn't worry about feeling strange. as long as your not in a lot of pain or anything like that, in which case i would see your GP ASAP.

I wish both of you best of luck and don't be afraid to post any Questions you have, the ladies here are more than helpful.

Porsche thanks for the advice on the HPT's. With the blood tests, I was going to see our FS every 4-5 days having ultrasounds and I had BT's 3 times to see if I o'd as my eggs kept disappearing, so he wanted to know if I o'd or not.

Mollie it is always good to be prepared and have the questions with you, so many time I have had a question on my mind and forgotten to ask our FS. Just one thing with the provera to bring on AF I found that AF has quite alot heavier and I had more painful cramps, but hoping that it isn't the case for you.

BumBum, a few answers for you with my experience. I got a little bloated as well, but it did go away once I stopped taking them every cycle. My hormonal swings were quite eratic. I had to take cold ad flu tablets that codiene in them and the pharmasist said that it would be okay.

Hope everyone else is going well, I'm on the count down only 5 days to go YAY

Hi all

Sorry, I have been lurking over the past few days but havent had time to post. Got lots on at the moment!

Welcome to all the newbies...bumbumg, mollie, and anyone else I have missed! I am sure you will find this thread very informative. Most of the women on here are old hats at this clomid business ; - )

This is my fourth cycle and I think the only real side effect i am still getting is anger coupled with a bit of depression. I have been feeling so antagonistic, and everything is p***ing me off. I am currently CD 19 (about 4 days past ovulation). I agree with the advice not to stay on it too long. It seems the jury is still out on the potential long term effects of taking clomid for longer than 12 months. I will stay on it for another two cycles until i start IVF in Feb.

Speaking of which, I am excited to say we have booked all of our preliminary IVF appointments for Jan 13. I am still hoping I will get UTD before then (especially as it's going to leave us $4000 out of pocket for the first cycle!)

Tammara - A BIG CONGRATULATIONS on the birth of Dylan. You must be thrilled! I hope the surprise of him being a boy hasnt caused you too much grief in terms of having prepared for a girl (remember, boys look good in pink too!) Enjoy the first few weeks, they will go by so quickly and it is such a precious time. Enjoy x

Bec - hope your random BDing pays off!

I cant remember where everyone else is up to (d'oh!) and I cant look back on previous pages without losing this post before I send it....sorry gals!!!
I hope everyone is doing well though and that we will all be blessed with BFPs in time for Christmas (what a lovely present that would be).

Take care all x
n2l

Thanks Tasha I did have a look at that when I first started on BB, and then when I saw SE I went back to it but couldnt see it.. Hmm must be blind lol

epayne.. last time FS mentioned provera, after a cycle of 234 days AF decided to show up on her own so there was no need for me to take it, but I am glad to say I know all about painful cramps, and heavy flow. The story of my AF life!!! I dont think I have experienced it any different, even when I was on the pill.

I feel like such a nerd, because I have been writing down all these question to ask my FS, because I dont want to miss anything especially as DH wont be there with me because he has to work... So im counting down the days, which will be 6 tomorrow til I see the FS!!

Hi Ladies

Bumbumg - I never had the "off your tree" feeling or the swelling either. I would be calling your Dr to see if it's part of the "norm" for S/E it doesn't sound normal to me. Panadol or codeine are fine to take in conjunction to clomid.

I joined this thread a few months ago, and it took me this long to start on my Chlomid. Which I did yesterday, at night as recommended. Just jumping back in to follow along.

Hi & welcome back! Hope your stay is short & successful :) I didn't have any hallucinations or those type of side effects on Clomid & I did take panadol on it, so not sure why you have been advised not to? What dose are you on? I was only on 50.

Hi Mollie & welcome,

I did about 7-8 rounds of Clomid & has no success, so am doing IUI. I just hang out here cos I love all the gals :) Side effects were: hot flushes, insomnia, headaches, night sweats & mood swings (bad ones) - sort of like going through menopause for me :/

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.

Well sorry for babbling on a bit, looking forward to more BFP's on here.

That is soo good to hear that you O'd on your own, I hope you caught that egg. Best of luck in the tww, I hope you have a BFP announcement for us :)

Bec - You must be flat out atm - report time :S My sister is really busy.

Hi to anyone else lurking around or anyone I have missed. Been a few posts to catch up on :)

AFM - Blood test next Thursday for pg but I am not hopeful today. Bbies are not really sore like they were and I have continually lower abdo cramping. I will possibly get AF Sunday, thereabouts so will know if I am pg or not probably before Thursday.

So im just going to hang low until next week after I have been to see my FS..

Welcome all the new girls everyone here is just wonderful and so helpful.
Sorry i have not been on for a while. My computer is finally fixed thank goodness. I did not take clomid this month so not sure where i am. Just really depressed and over it so i thought i would take a break this month. My weight loss is not being very successful i really need more motivation i'm just being really slack. Even though all test have come back normal and i'm regular and i ovulate they dont understand even with this many rounds of clomid why i'm not falling pregnant. My mum's hassling me about my weight i'm about 20 kilos heavier than i was when i fell pregnant with DS2 so if any one has any motivational tips please let me know.
Lots and Lots of Baby Dust to everyone we need some BFP's Good Luck:D

Rai, I know you're pain. I have lost 9.5kg so far, and I've found I just was ready to shed it and move forward. Belive me, I've tried and failed about a billion times, but I've just got the right head space at the moment. Incidently, it's given me something else to focus on aside from TTC. I hope you find the motivation you need,
Bec

Thanks Bec usually when i put my mind to something i do it but not this time which is driving me crazy. That's fantastic you have lost so much weight you must be very proud of your self cause its just not easy congratulations. Thanks again

Rai I find it easier to exercise with friends. I need the social aspect to keep me going. I always say that I am the most unmotivated personal trainer ever, lol. Good luck with everything and my other tip is to vary your workouts so they don't become boring.

Oh and Bec congrats on the weight loss. That is great. Your right in saying that it helps to be in the right headspace. Keep up the good work. Any news yet?

Bec - Awesome news on the weight loss front - you go girl!

Rai - I agree with Bec, you have to be in the right place - I was there about 6 months ago but I have since lost the plot....

I still haven'r rung Shan! This is so unlike me, but I just figure I either am or I'm not so I'm not worried. I don't think I am incidentally!
Jules- You've had a lot on your plate lately. The wagon never goes far, you can always get back on!

Rai, don't get down to much hun, we all have that much going on with our bodies with TTC and weightloss. And not to put a downer on your mum, but sounds like she needs to support you, not being on your back about things. (hope that doesn't sound too nasty)

Bec wow, that is great news about the weightloss, wooo hooo :)

Mollie you aren't a nerd for writting down the questions, it's great to be prepared.

Well I'm out for this cycle, AF decided to pay me a visit today and it has already started to be heavy and painfull :( We are going to the FS next thurs to start our last IUI cycle before IVF. We have decided that if we aren't pg by xmas we are going to have a break, and save our $$ for IVF.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Babydust to everyone

Thanks for your wishes for me and Dylan.

Yes it was definately a BIG surprise when the dr said HE is a big boy lol but not dissapointed in any way he is happy and healthy and doing great.

I forgot who asked but we were told definately a girl - just a bit wrong there DR. Luckily we did the nursery neutral just had to take all the clothes back that we had bought.

Just fed my boy and now i think its time to sleep.

Hope your all doing great fingers crossed for you all xxoo

Hello everyone,

Af is coming today, so I'm out of the game this month. CD 35 today and about time! I just want to start my second round of clomid and I've been waiting forever!!
Good luck to all and enjoy the beautiful weekend weather :)

sounds like lots of new cycles starting. I'm probably going to have to primolut an AF since I'm guessing I didn't o, so won't get one. I really have to ring my FS!
Tammara- I hope little Dylan is bringing you as much joy as you deserve hon. Silly u/s people think they know everything! I'm sure it was a shock, but it sounds like you're excited regardless which is awesome. I was watching this thing on Foxtel about this lady that had like 6 boys and everytime she got pregnant she cried at the u/s when they told her it was another boy. I was literally yelling at the tv "Ungrateful!!!!!". But I guess until you're in our shoes you take it for granted! I'm glad you're going well, and I hope you are coping ok with the sleep deprivation

Liz & Tasha; onto a new cycle! Liz- it's great that you o'd on your own this month, and tash, I hope the 2nd round is easy for you (and your last!)

Hi to everyone else. Not much to report here. No symptoms at all, except maybe a hyper sense of smell. No sore bb's, no real niggles or anything. I'm having a relaxing weekned of not worrying (except about writing reports!).
Enjoy the sunshine Melbourne-ites!
