I am stuggling atm ladies
I am getting very depressed I still haven't O'd, guess its going to be a referal to a FS next month (1 thats not in monash)
We've also been having troubles with someone trying to cause problems between me and DH (hasn't worked but still stressful)
I hope everyone else is well and goodluck to everyone for this month
Got1want1more...if it feels good, have a big cry and let all your emotions out. Find some way of releasing. Something I find that really helps is just focusing on my breath, deepening and lengthening my breath. And sometimes in privacy I shout out "Blahhhhhhhhhh" at anyone/thing I'm annoyed with to get rid of my yuck feelings. (Ok I'll stop with all my yoga teachings now!)
It's not such a bad thing to be going to a FS - at least you'll know you are in the hands of an expert in this area. I struggled for ages with the fact I was taking the western medicine path and seeing a FS (being the big hippy I am) but now I am so glad that I did because I feel as though I'm actively doing something to bring us closer to having a bubba. Dr Wilkinson from City Fertility (St Kilda Road) is so lovely, so if you can make the trek into the city I would recommend him.
Thanks Mez it helps to have people that understand
Thanks for the advice with dr wilkinson I have a GP appt tomorrow so I might see if I can get a referal and try to get an appt with him as the travel doesn't worry me
Got1want1more - Mez has given some great advice..... Keep a united front with your DH - sounds like this person is nasty & might continue to try to cause problems.
Does anybody use OPK's whilst on Clomid? I haven't bothered since we DTD every second day between CD 10 - 21 but now I am thinking I am not 'Oing' or maybe not until really late and maybe we need to DTD prior & after these dates too? Gosh it can be a chore though....
Hi RiChiChi
I used OPKs when on clomid (pee test & maybe baby) as well as taking my temps (all systems go!) but found that I had full on O pains which let me know it was time to get on with DTD. I couldn't rely on mucous at all because I had hardly any. If you take your temps every day then you'll definitely know when you've O'd.
I know what you mean about it being a chore! DH and I DTD every second day from day 15 until my temps indicated I'd O'd, which on clomid was usually around day 18 - 19. And if we could find the time, we'd DTD every day from around day 17. I can't wait until I'm UTD so DTD can just be about having a good time instead of procreation!!!!
to the new comers, WELCOME! i hope this site is helpful to you as it has been to me!
atleast through these difficult times, we have others that we can chat to knowing they understand exactly how you feel..
To the ladies trying for their second, all the best! im sure your little ones give you courage to keep on going..
im on my 4th cycle of Clomid, im hoping its working.. i have more hope this time around, no real reason why. As i have read about the ladies with PCOS who are alittle over weight, i feel your pain ive tried so hard & it discourages me as i feel i never go anywhere.. we haveto keep trying
Mez Moz, how are you feeling now hun? i have them meltdowns all the time, i actually went off my brain at my husband yesterday, last night i was like "what the hell.. where did that come from" .. luckily for me he is real patient & understanding..
lately ive been getting real high, or really low.. i can cry so easily!
hey keli! im well, how've you been? whats your next step, in this whirl wind of emotions?
