Mystic Angel - Not sure if this is any help, but Forelife have a sperm friendly lube. You can get it from Priceline Pharmacies.. Thats where I got mine anyway, haven't seen it anywhere else..
Massive temp drop this morning.. AF will be here tomorrow, I'd say.. Now I know I'm not pregnant I just want her to hurry up so I can start my next cycle...
ETA: Hello AF :) Let clomid round 2 start tomorrow :)
Ladies, due to everything that is currently going on with the lumpectomy and my health, and also the pressures of my business and my photography diploma, hubby and I have decided that we may not be ready for drugs such as clomid or other fertility drugs or intervention.
I think we are going to just have sexy time when we feel like it and if we get lucky then we get lucky. So NTNP as such. I will not be temping. as much as it's going to be hard to 'let go and let it happen' I think it's the best thing for us to do.
I may still go for the cd 21 bloods to occasionally check my progesterone levels, and make sure everything is in tip top condition. But this TTC is honestly doing our heads in.
There's lots more to focus on then me having a baby in my belly (as much as that's what I've longed for... For so long) it's just not practical to stress myself out like I'm doing.
I'll pop in from time to time but I'll be pretty quiet.
Here begins our not trying not preventing (as such) method of TTC.
Good luck to you all and hopefully I hear some bfp announcements from you all in the very near future. Xx

Honey, good luck. It takes a lot of courage and strength to try and let go for a while. I really hope you will still pop in and stalk us. Good luck with the lumpectomy, let us know how you go, we will be thinking of you. I have my fingers crossed for a natural surprise xxxx
Good luck LysnDan, you are still young so you have time on your side! I'm sure you will get your BFP :D
Good luck LysnDan!
It does seem like you have a lot on your plate. It's so easy to become all-consumed with TTC, often at the expense of other things in your life.
Do what is best for you and your partner. Overall, look after yourself and your health. The rest will follow....
Take care :)

LysnDan - Good Luck with everything that's going on in your life i really hope everything turns out well for you:D
AFM: AF is due tomorrow:( so i guess we start all over again
Hope everyone has had a good weekend. SENDING EVERYONE LOTS AND LOTS OF
BABY DUST AND STICKY VIBES XXX
lysndan: good luck with all you have going on, it is hard to step back and take a break but good for you that you know thats what you need to do right now, we hope to see you back here all healthy soon (or even that you skip here and go straight to pregnancy buddies group !)
tasha: any news from you ?
Rai: i take it from the sad face you think you will be seeing af ? have you tested ?
blessedatlast: did you start clomid ?
afm: day 21 and almost positive opt, hopefully tomorrow it will be, im so over this cycle, time is going so slow
Good luck MinnieMouse, yeah round 2 clomid started today.. Let the mood swings begin!!!
Rai - Good luck this next cycle
minniemouse - I dont have any symptoms except for just before AF starts but i also dont have any PG symptoms so presuming the worst yesterday. Then got up this morning and tested and BFN but still no symptoms of AF but sure its on its way just a matter of when. Good Luck hoping for a positive OPK today for you so you can start BD'ing (have fun!!) I have to say though pleased its you i just cant be bothered at the moment DP's not happy i have turned him away 3 times this week!!! GOOD LUCK really hoping for a BFP for you:D
blessedatlast - Thanks i think i will need it;) Good luck with round 2 of clomid and the mood swings ( they are fun) not !!!!!!!
Rai: sorry to hear about a bfn, fingers still crossed for you though ! no positive opt today, im so annoyed, it was almost positive yesterday but back to negative and i can't have missed it because i always get a lot of pain so know i have ovulate. we have been doing 2nd bding since last tuesday and im so over it its ridiculous, last cycle was great but this one im not the slightest bit in the mood.
blessedatlast: at what point during your cycle do you usually get the mood swings from clomid ?
MinnieMouse - TBH I'm not sure.. I had really bad PMS last month before I was even on the clomid which was unusual, but then I think from about day 3 of taking it.. I did record it a couple of times on FF. Day 6 I recorded I was in a bad mood and I remember I was BAD, the other days I just recorded irritability. Maybe I should be more strict with recording my mood this cycle.. Looking back, I was shocking, and to have my friend comment, means I must have been pretty bad, since although we are close we are not so close that I take my moods out on her, like I would a partner IYKWIM..
My bleeding is really light.. I'm not complaining, but day 3 and really light is unusual.. Oh well, I don't care as long as I ovulate.. Trying to plan a night or 2 up the Sunshine coast somewhere around O time.. Depends on work though..
Lots of baby dust to all :)
Hey girls
My op went ok. I'm very very sore though.
Hubby and I had to decide today If we definately wanted to miss this cycle and after heaps of consideration, we have decided to do one month of clomid (super closely monitored.) This month I can guarantee if we o when the dr says is normal then hubby will be home! :) yay! That's why we go Month by Month my clomid treatment may be only once every 3 months. (during my peak times!)
I can only have 3 treatments Under my gp/obgyn (she's in training) so, then it will be up to my FS.
I have to have clomid days 2-6 and lh blood tests (OT-ovulation tracking) every day until I reach my peak. The lab calls me daily and Then I get busy, If its around o time. ;)
I'm not temping. Or charting only plotting days I take clomid and the days I bleed etc...
My relaxed approach has been messed with.
I took my first clomid pill and feel crappy! Tired, bloated and a hint of nausea (reckon that's from anesthetic.) but hot flushes... Yeah that's clomid.

lysndan: how are you feeling today ?
blessedatlast: how are you ? i read your boys story today, my heart broke for you after trying for so long to get pregnant (were the boys conceived with clomid ?) and then to lose your precious Taite and Seth, just not fair. i can't imagine what it is like :hug: i have had the song baby mine going around in my head all day
Rai & Tasha: any news from you ?
mollie: belly rubs to you, hope all is ok
afm: day 23 today and still negative opt, im beginning to stress i have somehow missed it, i can't see how and i usually have long cycles but im normally seeing a positive opt by now. i wouldn't normally care but i have the progesterone to use this time and im scared i should have started it already ! why is this so hard ?!!
MM - Im feeling ok... and you?
MinnieMouse - It was absolutely devastating to lose my twins. When I was trying everyone said "When you fall pregnant it will be worth the wait" Then when I did, and it was twins I thought 'Yes this is finally it, and it was worth the wait' Only to lose them :( They weren't conceived on clomid. They were natural, which was an AMAZING surprise. I was so excited, I bragged to everyone about having twins :) They were and still are my pride and joy. I miss them every day. I can't believe they would be almost 2 and a half!
Lynsdan - good luck on the clomid :) Thats great you are getting daily BT's!! What exactly are they measuring? Progesterone or FSH, LH??
AFM - Well I haven't had any side effects so far except a mild headache. I have been recording my mood so that I can see a pattern for next cycle. I have been in a good mood though, really lightt bleeding and no bloating so far.. Hope it stays that way. I only want to bloat when there's a baby in there! Lol
Blessed it says on the forms lh monitoring from day 7. Then progesterone at day 21 under lab management. That's the monitoring they do on clomid over here in Perth (well the way my doctor told me she does it!) so I'll stick with it. 3rd tab today.
Do the side effects stop when you stop taking the pills or do they last all month?

Hi ladies
Thought I'd pop in here seeing my gyno has just prescribed me Metformin because of high insulin levels. I've also been given 4 CD21 tests for progesterone - Do I have to have that first thing in the morning? Or can I have it done any time during the day? Cause I'm getting it done tomorrow cause I'm... well, CD21
I'm 9DPO today, so I'm not starting it until I've had AF, but even though I was quietly confident of this cycle, after these three days of cramps, I'm not feeling so confident anymore.
:hello:
Lynsdan, they lasted all cycle :(
DD, good luck this cycle. You never know! Day 21 tests I think you can have at anytime..
