Hi Girls....Wow so much has been said since last time I was on. Didn't get a chance to jump on yesterday so bare with me......

Cherie - Hi there....the clinic went okay...i'll let you know down a bit further in this post....hope you're doing well...LOL at hubby getting an orgasm. I might use this on mine next time.

Jane - Wow.....3kgs. Thats fantastic. Last year I lost 16kg, but since I've been on the clomid i've stacked on 10kg in the last few months. Not Happy Jan(e). I just have to keep trying to get it all to come off again. Easier said than done though hey....

Sushee - Hi...how's things going with you...

Shez - I have everything possible crossed for you today. Good luck and preying you've got a sticka....

lil_chookie - I'll explain about the appointment below and congrats to you on your 100th post....good luck with catching that eggie.....

Suzy - How are you going...i've been thinking about you. Hope you are okay.....

Michelle - whats going on with you. It must be getting close to start DTD....DH is right in that you may not be showing a weight loss on the scales due to muscle mass increasing. My little tip is to take measurements once a week and even if the scales show no change, the measurements should because even though muscle weighs more than fat, it takes up less room so you should be shrinking.....fingers crossed...

Starbright - i know exactly how you feel re your BIL. My brother and SIL did the same to me except none of us have any kids and they know that we've been trying for 4 years and everything else and they just came out with a 'guess what you're going to be an aunty'. Trust me, it takes a long time to come to terms with it. They are about 17 or so weeks now and she is just starting to show and i still can't handle seeing them as it's a constant reminder, so i have just tried to stay away from them as much as possible so i can get my head around it. Plus i've stopped telling my family where i am at and whats going on. Just 2 close friends, so i have at least someone to talk to (other than all you girls in here though) I know they are trying to understand what i'm going through, but it's hard coz they aren't going through it. I'm starting to be okay with it now, but it's going to take a long time before i can be there for them like they want me to. But at the moment i need to concentrate on me. Good luck for today. I'll be thinking about you......

Sararms - if it's not one thing it's another hey....i'm so sorry to hear about the blockage. I guess that this is one reason that they invented IVF in the first place. Keep your chin up. It's not all over yet.....

sk - Welcome ...... this will be interesting when it comes to personals, as we are both Shan.LOL...I'll stick to sk if you don't mind. I get confused enough as it is...You are so right about your conscious and subconscious thoughts and thats why this forum is so wonderful because no matter how bad or down you feel, you can simply vent your frustrations, get them out of your system and have all the wonderful ladies come back to you with such positive thoughts. I'd be lost now without BB....

Everyone else - hello to you all...xoxoxox

Me - Wow i've written a novel already. Well the appointment was a bit suprising. I went in expecting to have to get a D&C or something, but it turns out that the bleeding (which by the way had nearly gone until they did the internal) was due to a cyst on my ovary, which has in turn gone away by itself (thank god) and that the heavier bleeding that started on the 18th Jan was actually an early period (last cycle only ended up being 23 days).

So now i am on CD15. I had a 15mm follie on Monday so should be due to ovulate any day now. Have some OPK's. Yesterday there was no line, but this morning a really feint line, so it could happen really soon. I'll do another one this arvo.....

The girls at the clinic think that it could be a dud round because i haven't had any clomid and my lining is really thick that they don't think it could sustain a pg...., but i figure that if there's a follie there, then it's worth a shot. They are looking at putting me on Metformin due to the clomid affecting my weight, so that will be interesting.....i'll find out today if they want me to take it.

I have to go and have a BETA done on the 15th (unless AF arrives before that) and if it's positive, then YAY for me, but if it's negative then they will bring on AF and get me going on Clomid once again so that they know exactly where i am within my cycle...

If anyone could give me any info on Metformin, that would be great.

Thats about the extent of it anyway....hope you are all having a good day.
