Erinmaree -WELCOME - i hope that everything is going well for you on the clomid. this thread has become very quiet of late as so many of us have received the green light to move up to assited conception - but some of us still drop by to say hello and to offer support to those of you still on clomid - i really hope it's success ful for you!
HI Mako - i so hope you're right and that you o'd this week - am really hoping for a BFP for you! i'm still unsure whether i managed to O after the cancelled IUI cycle, so i guess in my own way i'm in a TWW - had a very small amount of bleeding last night and thought AF might have shown up - but nothing since, so who knows what's going on - my body is determined to defy logic and do everything wrong, so it would be my luck that, when i've decided to take a break from TTC for the dental surgery, that my body would do what it should have been doing for the past 6 months!!!
thanks so much for asking after me Mako - i'm struggling along at the moment. have had a few major drama's as you're aware, and came to the (very painful) conclusion yesterday that i'm not coping from an emotional standpoint. decided that, before i lost it completely, i was going to seek some help - so spoke to GP yesterday, and going to see a counsellor on Monday. i've been thinking for a while that i didn't feel "right" but couldn't pin-point why, so it's something of a relief to be taking a proactive approach to it - i figure if i can get on top of things without medication (GP suggested it yesterday, but i'd really like to keep medication to a minimum), i'll be able to face the TTC journey a lot more easily. DH has been amazingly supportive through it all (rang him in tears yesterday - again!), and surprisinginly, considering all the issues i've been having with work lately, my manager was brilliant - even going so far as to get me in touch with a work funded counselling team - can go to appointment on Monday on work time - so that takes a huge amount of pressure off. i guess i'm just looking forward to being able to get some of the stuff that's bugging me off my chest and being able to deal with it all - and from there, things should hopefully start looking up!
oh yeah, just to add to everything else - well my laptop died last night - a very horrific situation considering i had all my photos from my hols and stuff on there - had a massive panic attack - it would start, but keys and mouse wouldn't work - spent ages trying to fix it myself, rang HP for help, found out that the ONLY way to fix it was to reformat the whole thing - eeek! was able to get it started in safe mode and transfer some of my life to a USB drive - but not all of it! took another four hours to get it all fixed - but is back to life now! yay!!! i can so sympathise with you about the loss of your computer Mako - it's like losing a part of you!
Hi ladies how are we all. If you haven't noticed my ticker is back on day 1 woo hoo I got AF I don't think I have ever been so excited to have her show up. Today was going to be cycle day 80 so I am happy that it has come back down to 1 again. I have still been charting so know that I haven't O but am still glad that I have a period. I don't know if it was a total coincidence or not but I started taking Vitex about 3 1/2 weeks ago and it is supposed to help with regulating periods so who knows. I know they say that it usually takes months for these things to work but you never know. Lets just hope I don't have to wait another 79 days for another period.
Mako - I hope you get a new PC soon and that you were right about O this month. Wouldn't it be just wonderful if you got Pg on a natural cycle. Good luck sweet girl I will be coming in soon to check on you and just remember I am always thinking of you and that your dreams will become a reality very soon.
BW- I am sorry I haven't been around much to see how you were going but I am guessing from your sig that it is still a waiting game for you. Keep strong honey your time will come soon
BG- Sorry to hear that you have been having a rough time of late but am glad to see you are going to go and talk to someone about it. I have at times thought about doing the same thing and I really hope that it helps you to overcome some things and move on it a positive frame of mind. Good luck hun.
Erinmaree- Good luck with this cycle of clomid. Lets hope it is the only one you need. Like the other loves have said it has been a bit quiet in here with everyone moving up to assisted conception and I am having a break from TTC but we all pop in here to say hi so you will never be alone and we will always be here for support and assistance if needed. It almost feels for me like this thread is home as I was here for a while so I always come back in here first. Good luck again
hey ktgirl! Woohoo for AF arriving! I know it seems so strange, but I've been there with the 80+ day cycles, so I know exactly how it feels.
Me... Our first IVF cycle got cancelled when we discovered that on synarel I managed to grow a great big follicle on one ovary! Can't do it with clomid, but can do it with synarel! Trust me to do everything backwards. They gave me a trigger shot to make me ovulate and I go back on Tuesday to start again with the synarel - this time at twice the dosage as before. Hopefully our second attempt will have a better outcome than the first - at this stage I'll be happy just to get to EPU!
Briggsy's Girl - Coming from experience I can tell you that you'll feel 110 times better after you've spoken with a counsellor! I had what DH is now calling a 'meltdown' last weekend and just cried for about 2 hours straight, got up on Monday morning and was able to squeeze in an appointment with a counsellor that day as she'd had a cancellation. I guess while nothing but that BFP will genuinely take the pain away totally speaking with the counsellor made me feel much better!! You'll be glad you did it!
I'm really confused at the moment, I THINK I ovulated around Tuesday/Wednesday last week so I guess that puts me in the TWW. Will see what happens I guess.
Thanks again for all the warm welcomes! It's nice to know there are other people around to share the journey with (even if it isn't a pleasant one)!
that your dreams will become a reality very soon.
