    Hi im new!

    Hi Girls

    My name is Rebecca and im 35 and been ttc now for 9 months, well 12 if you include my MC back in July at 14 weeks.

    Went to see FS last month and had a lap for my endo 2 weeks ago and he has now put me on Clomid, i had to take it day 2 till day 6 and im now at day 10. I didnt have too many side effects accept the headaches and a bit of blurred vision but nothing too bad.

    My question is how long now till i OV apporx as my FS isnt monitoring me and i was just curiuos as i usually OV late in my 34day cycle?

    Im so glad i found this site and im hoping to get to know you all on this journey.

    Thanks

    Bec

    Hey girls

    im just having a bit of a poor me whinge. I am in the fertile window and im fed up with hubby. i feel like it is such an effort for him to do his part, it is probably all in my head but does anyone else get these feelings?

    Maybe i am just a nag lol

    Hope you all had a relaxing day today

    Thanks for your reply.

    My FS isnt doing anything which i thought was a bit unusual.He gave me a script with 5 repeats and thats it! I have read on here that most girls gets monitored by their FS so thats why i asked.

    I am not temping as im suppose to be chilling out this month and not trying to focus on TTC so much (well thats what ive promised DH). Im thinking FS isnt too stressed as this will be my 6th baby if i get my BFP, i have 4DDs and 1 DD angel so maybe he thinks all will be ok,thats just my guess anyway. But this is my first go at ATTC and the first time ive had any problems getting a BFP so its all new to me and any advice is good advice.

    Hi girls,

    Tammara I know exactly how you feel...sometimes it feels like I am the only one who wants this to happen...deep down I know that isn't true but it can be so frustrating.

    Beckie...I am like you my FS gave me the script and just told me to call him if I didn't get AF by day 30. I have wondered whether I should be getting scans and blood tests that others mention.

    I am up to day 10 after taking clomid days 2-6. We were told to start BD day 11 for 7 days. I feel like I am getting the flu so really don't feel like it but will go for it anyway. This is Sooooooooooo not how I pictured things happening.

    I hope everyone is well.

    Baby dust to all

    Hi Beckie and tammara,My FS also gave me a script with 5 repeats and sent me off after telling me that i should use the OPK and NOT the microscope that i have.He also said to do 3 cycles only.Apparently if clomid is going to work for you it will within 3 months and said if your not pregnant in those 3 months it wont work.
    I too feellike im pressuring DH for "you know what'.Its a horrible selfish feeling.Im upto
    day 26 and have been having cramping on and off since since 7DPO.I feel like my period is on its way.Im due on day 29 which is Thursday.Im really upset,paranoid,overthinking things,worried etc etc.After 3 rounds of clomid we are going back to IUI or maybe IVF.My health insurance wait period is over in August so we kind of have a time frame to work within.

    Morning Girls - Tammara - I soooo know how you feel - I have absolutely lost it at my husband the last two months of trying - trying not to make it sound like a choir but you just have to do it!!

    Wantbaby#2 - I am on cycle 5 of clomid - and my FS has recommended no more than this at this stage - but it is working for me - ie it is making me O' but they just seem to be unco an. My FS has said chlomid is not for long term use, but it is on an individual person basis as to how long the term of use is.

    MRZ - I think it sounds very positive - I would definately do another HPT and if it is positive, get a blood test done asap.

    Baby dust to all - I am about to start my week or two of BDing!! So I am having my fingers crossed this month!~!
