I was worried about the spotting I had last night so my doc text me (I know how good is that!) and said she would ring and chat to me later tonight.
Well she just rang and said shed like to see me before I go in for the op. To give me a few request forms for blood etc...
What monitoring goes with clomid?
She's already given me a cd21 blood test form and she's given me an ultrasound form.
Is she going to present me with a frequent vampire form too lol!
Sounds like it.
At least she put my mind at ease. First dr who's ever done that! And she said to call if in doubt with clomid... She wants to make me feel like this is going to be extremely monitored and boy is she doing a good job. I love my dr. She is such an angel! (and currently studying emergency c sections and other baby related studies!) Yay! She will be delivering (at a local hospital which has just been upgraded for maternity ward!) our bubba when it decides to come so happy with my decision to move my results there!

well 2 HPT's and no, not pregnant.. I wouldn't have tested yet but I'm going away today, and one of my friends is having a going away party because she got a job in the states.. I'll be able to have a drink.. Or 500 to drown my sorrows. Lol.. I'm disappointed of course, but really didn't expect to fall on 1st cycle of clomid anyway.. Fingers crossed for next month
LysnDan - She sounds like a fantastic FS (not many would bother to text and ring you) its great when you have a good FS you can trust
blessedatlast - Sorry about BFN Have a great time at your friends going away party
minniemouse - No dye test was not painful at all for me but i just read n2l comment so i suppose everyone is different but i do strongly suggest painkillers before hand i took nurofen plus. GOOD LUCK
Hi ladies, just popping in to update. Nothing. No cramps, no sore boobs, no mood swings, no symptoms of anything at all. Just like last month.
tomorrow will be 10 dpo I'm pretty sure. I would have some kind of symptom by now. I don't get O pain anymore and I don't get AF symptoms, I get nothing. It's like I don't even have a uterus and ovaries anymore!
Heya ladies thanks for the warm welcome Is anyone using any aids apart from preseed? I can only get it online or an hours drive away and O is meant to be between now and friday next week....Ive heard of eggwhites and sylk also? I used normal opks last cycle but they were confusing,saying I was o'ing but then the blood tests said otherwise so Im thinking of buying the digital ones. Are they any good??
I use preseed it mimics fertile cervical mucous. I use the digital opks when I get what looks to be a near positive on the Internet cheapies. Then have a cd21 blood test.
So, ladies, the spotting was afterall my good old enemy af. On cd1 today so start my clomid (after drs advice) from today (cd1) to cd5... Nervous. Don't know why it's cd1-5 now when she firstly said cd2-6 ?
Edit: (9.20pm) after a few hours the spotting and ultra light bleeding have stopped again. I'm not taking clomid I'm convinced and my flo is heavier.
There is still a lot of brown spotting! I wish my body would make up it's mind as to what is happening. I'm over it!
Apparently the earlier on in the cycle the more mature your eggs get?

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...
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
LysnDan - Good Luck with everything that's going on in your life i really hope everything turns out well for you
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
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.

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 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 ?!!
so happy with my decision to move my results there!
i understand that disappointment. i hope you have a good time at your friends farewell
big hugs chicky!
