    Good afternoon everyone

    I am still waiting for AF, to be honest i really dont know when to expect it to arrive. im hoping it wont take long for things to get back to normal (as normal as it can get) so i think it is just a matter of wait and see. I have tried to not think about it as much. Although saying that i did have visitors on the weekend with a 6 month old baby - was pretty hard at first but i think it was good in the end, sort of made me get over losing the baby more.

    Good luck all

    Hey Girls :)

    Firstly Brussels,
    I have those days about once a week, a good cry never hurt anyone and surprisingly can make you feel so much better, lucky we have our fella's there to pull us together!

    Ok well i started my First chlomid round last night ( 50 mg ) i took it at about 8pm with dinner, & I feel great, night time is definately the go with taking it so thanks for all the advice!
    But i guess i'll have to wait and see if it's a success everyday!
    This month gives me so much more hope then all the previous, But am not getting my hopes up as i am fully aware that this may not be the thing to help us.
    Each month is just going to be a waiting game.

    Hi Everyone & welcome to all the newbies in here!!

    Its been awhile since I posted last but I have been popping in and reading all your posts, I just haven't really had much to say until now!!

    We had an appointment on Tuesday at the IVF clinic and tommorow we have orientation to learn about all the injections - looks like we will start our first antagonist cycle next week, I am a little bit freaked because I thought it would take ages to get everything started and now it's happening! I am also really excited that our chance of having a happy ending is a bit closer than before.

    Anyway I just wanted to pop in and say good luck to you all and send you lots and lots of , I am going to join the assisted conception thread aswell but I will be popping in here too.

    Thanks for all your support and kind words!

    Frustrated, thanks I know it is normal and good to let it out...I am glad I did...I just have a hard time having no control over anything and running uphill...

    I have been trying to sort out my feelings and realize that at the moment I feel an immense pressure to perform physically. To lose weight, stay sexy for my husband, get pregnant, carry a baby to term, breast feed, lose preg weight, go back to being sexy (for myself and my wardrobe!!!) then being strong physically for my babies etc...

    I tend to get carried away with thinking of it all at once and that night I just broke down. I am just very controlling as far as diet and excercise go and it is hard to have nothing budge and be told that I have to wait and see.

    Still no AF...Over 40 days now. I called my doc and he said that is not good. I have an appt next week, so he will do something about it...

    I'll keep you girls posted after my appt the 2nd...

    Morning girls - well up to day 13 and have to start my O testing.

    I have just found out today I have rhematoid arthritis at the ripe old age of 31!! - although I pretty much knew already but my other specialist just confirmed - so more medication. The good thing is she tested me for other things as it is linked to mis/c and I don't apparently carry that gene. So it could be worse!

    Having one of those days when I can't understand why my body is not working normally - feels like I am falling to pieces and feeling a bit hypercondriac! because it is all happening at once!

    Anyway, just wanted to vent!

    Thanks for the lovely positive message Cony - brightened up my day

    Hope all is well

    Frustrated, has your doctor not told you when to start BDing??? If not, go to the supermarket and by an ovulation kit, ASAP - makes like less stressful! I had no idea before when I was. Apparently you can as early as day 11. On the day you get a positive for "O" you BD that night and the next night - so I am advised to do!
