    Good luck rai,

    I am 7DPO today. I still feel nothing, just lots of CM which I always get after O. Isn't that funny, I am totally dry until O and then CM galore!
    I have seen my friends new baby twice now, went over to her house the other day with my mum. Got all the usual comments "don't worry, your time will come soon" Well I'm beginning to doubt weather my time is coming at all. I was the only woman there without kids.
    I only have two more cycles of clomid left, and if it hasn't worked yet I don't really have hope it will. Sorry to have a sook, but this ttc is really breaking me down. I am so scared that I will never experience being a mum And as far as I'm concerned, that is why we are put on this earth, to be a mum.

    Gosh I hope it won't be too much longer for all of us. Good luck to all and !!!

    Tasha - I'm so sorry, my girlfriend has had 2 childrenn in the time i have been trying and as much as you love them it really hurts does'nt it honestly its just not fair. It would hurt even more being the only one there without kids and it makes it worse when people tell you your time will come makes you feel like shouting when the bloody hell will my time come. TTC has to be the most hardest, fustrating, heartbreaking, thing we can do to ourselves. But keep your chin up and dont get too disheartened (which is easy to say i know) i will be praying and sending you lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of baby dust and sticky vibes. Just dont give up. Have you heard of fermera i have heard people who have not fallen PG on clomid do on fermera might be worth a try. Also why is it your last 2 rounds on clomid? Could you try injectables but instead of doing IUI or IVF you go home to BD i know Bec was doing this. I have asked my fs before but she was not keen to do this with me but i think i will put the pressure on and if she wont i may change my fs. GOOD LUCK AND TONS AND TONS OF BABY DUST AND STICKY VIBES xxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Thanks rai, it just isn't easy for us I am assuming these are my last two rounds on clomid as from my understanding FS don't like to have patients on it for longer than 6 months because it's not ideal for your body. And I am definitely ovulating so a higher dose isn't going to help. Maybe I will mention fermera next time, I just didn't want it to progress to the next stage!

    sending baby dust back........

    Hi guys
    Just thought I should mention femera or fermena is primarily a drug used to treat breast cancer. It is not approved in many countries as a fertility treatment and many fs refuse to prescribe it as it is linked to birth defects.
    Just thought you should be aware!

    Hi Girls, Its really quiet in here hope everyone is well. I'm in my 2ww and very fustrated wish someone would invent a test to do 2DPO to tell if you were pg at least then you would not imagine every symptom under the sun then realise its all in your head lol.

    maruschke - how long have you been on clomid for? I conceived DS2 on my first round but this time I've been on it with breaks in between about 15 months but have heard it's not as effective after a certain amount of time. When I finally did fall pg in dec it was naturally so go figure. What are you going to do if your fs won't give you more clomid any plans?

    This is cycle 4 about to end now. If it doesn't work I guess I go onto injectables and have a good cry . What are your plans? I heard I wasn't allowed more than 6 cycles but they think if it hasn't worked by 3 cycles it's unlikely to be successful anyway. Ugh.

    Are you going to do injectables than go home and BD or IUI. I would love to try injectables cause clomid is just not working

    Moving onto IUI with injects I think. We found a new FS and his out of pocket costs for an IUI is $170 plus drugs. Pretty good! So I guess we will try 3 cycles of that before thinking about IVF.How about yourself?

    I was really hoping not to have to think about this but clomid is just not working.

    maruschke - That's fantastic $170 for IUI great. DP had his SA done and all was good so we were going to do IUI then if that did not work IVF. But DP has changed his mind (dont think i can say what i think and not get into trouble) and he will now not do IVF and is only thinking about IUI so not very happy. I can honestly say not sure what i'm going to do now maybe try to convince my FS to let me do injectables then go home to BD but my FS was not keen to let me do injectables. Men honestly who needs them lol.

    Sorry to hear it, it is so frustrating when they change their mind. I guess it builds up hope that is then taken from you. I hope the IUI works for you. The 170 figure is from a doctor at QFG which is where I am transferring to. Any idea what your IUI costs are? DH is pretty hesitant about the donation part of IUI, it really freaks him out, not sure why.

    Not sure how much but i'm assuming at least a few hundred i hope but not sure i know its not as cheap as $170 your lucky that's fantastic. There so funny my DP was the same with the SA but i went through city fertility and i brought a special condom that cost $25 so we could BD to get the sperm sample and have been told we can do the same if we do IUI, cause DP just refused to do a sample in a jar i wont say what he said but thank goodness for the condoms.

    HAHAHAHA! My hubby is exactly the same! He was all freaked out over putting his sample in a jar so we had to BD at home and speed all the way to Melbourne pathology!
