    Hi ladies,
    got1want1more- it's awful when you feel you can't do anything that helps. Seeing an FS might help you feel as though you are taking affirmative action, and that can be invigorating and give you the strength to go on. I found making the appointment was an enormous relief!

    jess85- I get shocking pains for days when I ovulate! As bad as period pain sometimes. I'm always a little scared to take Nurofen incase I'm UTD. All in the name of the prize though, hey? At least we know when we ovulate!

    Mezmoz- very sound advice. I've found that acupuncture has help me heaps, not so much physically, but emotionally. It helps me relax for that half hour or so to feel like I'm preparing the old womb for what may be!

    RhiChiChi- I used OPK's after I stopped having scans to check for follies. I actually found I was ovulating much later than normal (day 21 or 22) and we'd been aiming for day 14! Since I've been doing that acupuncture the EWCM (TMI!) has improved and now I can tell when I ovulate using that and the o pains. OPK's where my hero for awhile though!

    Everyone else, I hope you're going well! to you all.
    I'm anxiously awaiting Monday when AF is due, and still haven't heard when I'm getting the polyp removed. Nervous wait!

    Bye,
    Bec

    Looks like I might start taking my temps again. I stopped as they were all over the shop and ff was changing my dates constantly, so it got confusing. I get no EWCM anymore or O pains (used to) but not sure if the lack of EWCM is a side effect from the clomid? I heard taking Robitussin helps in that department?

    Mez & Bec - Interesting that you are Oing later in your cycles, I think that might be happening to me as we were really good with the DTD during the time we were told to.... Might have to go back to DTD every second day for the whole cycle (ugh!)

    Better go to bed, it's getting late

    RhiChiChi, I'd give the OPK's a whirl. If you get them from the chemist you can get a pack of 7 with a HPT as well. You can also buy them in bulk online. It's worth knowing when you o, it makes the whole BDing thing let tedious. My FS said once you get a positive on the OPK, DTD for the next 3 nights (usually). AS much as I keep M/Cing, I've been pregnant twice in 7 cycles, so the process must work!

    All the best,
    Bec
