hey girls

Twomums: woohoo thats great news on the follicles. Let us know what happens !!!

Welcome Kristy..dont hesitate to ask any questions or just "vent", we are all here for eachother.

Tryinglikecrazy - sorry to hear about AF, but i always think of it as a good sign coz if u have AF u have obviously "o". So just think, it wont last forever, even tho it may seem like it. I really hope it gets better soon

Kristen - Yeah i agree with Megan, you should let ur man let his hair down. I know when TTC for so long they can get sick of hearing about all the bad news. Mayb just once let him out and relax. But mayb before he goes to remind him that way too much alcohol can lower is sperm count. I dont know if this was true but my gyno told me this when we were TTC which was only 8 weeks ago...


Keep strong all of you and take care..hope to hear some good news soon xox

Thanks girls for your replies....I'm going to take your advice and let my man let his hair down etc etc.... I think all these hormones/emotions make you get a bit crazy and irrationale at times. Anyway

Kellyd - Hope it all gets sorted so you can continue on this ttc journey.

Twomums - Fingers crossed for you good luck

Just a question? In all of my 4 cycles.....I have never got a positive from an ovulation test etc..... but occording to my temps rises I have been ovulating?
Is this normal, I have used a variety of brands etc with the same result.
Has anyone else come across this...... the day I see a positive on anything I'll be doing the happy dance.

Stay strong everyone. I really appreciate the support of this forum and its beautiful members. Just thought I would all let you know.

hey,

Kristen - If you are on clomid, it is not the best idea to do ovulation tests. The clomid can interfere with the results. When i took clomid i did the opk's and they all said i never "o" but now im preggas. The best way to find out is a blood test. (this isnt my personal opinion, its what my gyno told me). i did a blood tests and it came back i did ovulate..go figure. But as i said clomid does interfere with opk's but not pregnancy tests. Hope this helped a little

Hi everyone,

In need of a little advise. This cycle my clomid was increased to 100mg (I did ovulate on 50mg but FS decided to give 100mg a go??) and with the previous cycles I had fertile cervical mucus present but this cycle none!!! I know this may be a symptom of the clomid but I'm nearly at O time and still no fluid down there...very dry. Is there anything that can help with that and if theres no fertile mucus is conception even possible???
Very confusing.
