[KrissyLee85]

Hello All,
So much has happened in the 4 days i was away!!!!! Dh, Ds and i went on a little camping trip!! it was really fun, we went with 4 other families, so Ds had kids to play with and hubby had boys to chat with! I went fishing and caught heaps of fish - only 1 was legal (the only one that was big aenough to eat!!!) it was yummy!!
Well my boobies are still painful sharp stabbing pains, lots of intergestion(sp?), so for a when i see my ob/gyn this week

Mel, Sounds like an amazing job!! How did you get into that? Hows your cycle coming along? I still think you need lots of hugs!!!!

twomums, hi!!! WOW what an emotional rollercoaster you guys have been on!! I have no idea what your chances r but im wishing you all the luck in the world(well not all of it ive got to save some for me hehehe)

babydust74, Hey there, Im totally right there in that boat with you!!! All thoses symptoms can be just from O as ive come to learn myself, but im no expert!! The TWW just totally drives you crazy!!

Drgirl72, Hi, CM decrease is a common side effect from the clomid, try using a sperm friendly lub to help the little swimmers along the way, ive heard preseed is good!?

Hollye, You go Girl!!!!! woohoo on the and the weight loss!!!!! your our insperation that clomid does work!!

Well ladies hugs to you all Talk soom xoxo

Cycle is going slowly, well time is going at the same pace but all this waiting. Is going slowly. ho hum...

Hi all,

KellyD + Theresep - How is verything going your you guys?
I kind of lost contact with this new thread starting................. will I'm on my 4th and last cycle of Clomid (FS doubled my dose from 50mg to 100mg so will see if this helps). Then we are taking a break for a few months to see if I start O naturally. I think in my head I'm like....this is our last chance (being the last cycle using clomid) so putting lots of pressure on this cycle.

Hope all is well and welcome to all the new members to this thread.

Good luck

[Mel A]

Hi Kirsten 160 Good luck with your newest doasage. I'm on 100mg too. It helped me to O so i'll cross everything that it helps you too.

hey girls,

just popping into say hi..mwah!!

take care xoxox

[Mel A]

Went to see my OB yesterday.
He gave me 1 pescrption for Primulot (to be used if AF doesn't turn up in next 45 days)
1 pescription, with 5 repeats for clomid (7 cycles worth) I'm on 100mg.
and 7, day 21 blood test referals.

He then said I could book in to see him in 7 months. Or I could be all optimistic and not book because I'd have to book in eairler when I get a BFP. (well he didn't say BFP but you get the drift)

So I'm crossing fingers for AF to turn up in the next 2-3 weeks, then we can start all over again.

Hi Kirsten160,
Even if you have no CM, comming out, If you ovulate your cervix will be secreting something even if it is only a little bit. It is harder to concieve without the CM, so give the swimmers a helping hand and use a sperm friendly lubricant, that will help with transfer and hopefuly get them close enough to be sucked in by the natural stuff.
I found that my first cycle on 100mg, was a fairly dry one, and after that everything went back into egg white mode.

cheers all

hey mel.
thats exactally what the doctor did to me..brought on my AF with meds and then clomid then bt etc. and now look.. good luck!!!

[Mel A]

Congratulations Holly, I'm crossing everthing that all goes well.

for those wondering, still no movement on the 12 egg whites. I think I might do HPT before I take the Primulot just to be sure.. Thats if AF doesn't turn up.

My body feels pretty normal, but then It felt normal through all ten of the previous BFP weeks. so who can be sure.

Hi everyone,
I also have POS,
I fell pregnant with my daughter Britney on clomid 1 tablet a day 1st month.
Joshuah my son took longer 22months, 8months on clomid 4 tablets a day.
I fell pregnant last year on metaformin (know one told me I could possibly ovulate while on metaformin) but I miscarried at 6.5 weeks.
I feel pregnant naturally (well almost had to take drugs to bring on period)this February and I'm due in October, a nice surprise as we where planning to start again in a couple of months.

To all those trying Hang in there!!!!!
Best of Luck to you all!!!
Kelly

AJC, way to go with a progesterone of 64! Highest mine has ever been is 21! I think I have progesterone envy , not sure if there is such a thing!

Snoopea, thanks for sharing your experience, its good to know that it may be worth perservering!

We are also waiting on donor's swimmer test results as that may obviously make a difference to how long we stick with clomid for.

Evening all. Would love some input re. whether how much use us doing an insemination tomorrow afternoon will be. If you look at my chart you will see that I am CD17 today and had positive OPKs CD 15 and CD 16. I think I probably ovulated this morning (friday). We did an insemination on wed evening (CD15) but the donor had to then go interstate and is not back until lunchtime tomorrow (sat, CD18). Thus a second insemination would, at the earliest, be saturday afternoon. This, I think is greater than 24 hours post when I think I ovulated. I think there is therefore little chance that an insemination tomorrow would help with a BFP for this cycle. At the same time the thought of doing only one insemination in a cycle is a little scary (we usually do 2-3). Part of me thinks we have little to lose by doing it. However, if its not going to add anything then I think its better to not inconvenience the donor and I personally do not really enjoy the inseminations especially the smell of the swimmers! (sorry if TMI). Lastly, would very happy mamage that if it would help a BFP! Any thoughts???? Thanks Girldoc 1b8da8 Ovulation Charts
