Hey Bella...where're you gonna go in Thailand?? We went to Koh Samui last year, and hope to go again this year. I happen to work for the national airline, and felt I should go experience it!!! The people are lovely, very genteel, the food gorgeous, and the beaches fantastic! We had relaxing treatments every day as it was soooo cheap...massages, manicure, pecicure etc!

We are cycle buddies...according to FF I ovulated on CD 17 and it's CD21 today. We did everything possible, and it turns out I had acupuncture on CD 17. now.....

Mabello, you're also in TWW ...good luck sister
BM any news?? Our cats are really cuddly too, on these cold nights,snuggling in......

LSK thanks for asking about the scrapbooking. It's going really well, I've done a page on one of my cats, two on a family friends' day out hot air ballooning, and now two on all 3 of our cats. I've got a whole list of themes I want to do.

Feeling good, quite positive...but more wary than last month if that make sense. fingers and toes crossed....may the days pass quickly - but we still have fun too!

Hi,
Ive been MIA for a few months, just feeling bit down this week. Its coming up to a year TTC, and just found out another family member is Pg, that makes it a total of 7 that have fallen in the year we've been trying
So sorry im so so happy for them, seriously i am. Just totally jealous!
At least the clomid isnt affecting me as much, but only allowed to have 2 more cycles of it.
Krissy

Goodmorning girls,
well this has been a very confusing time for DH and I....As you all know our doc didn't think we ovulated according to our 21 day BT...well I'm on cycle day 38 and POAS this morning just to check...It came up BFP! We are still in shock as we were gearing up for our second round of clomid and seeing the FS this coming fri. Can this be true?

[Mel A]

Baymonster - That is sooo cool. I had the chat with my Doc about false BFP when I went to get my OB refereal. He said that the test only measure HGC which our bodys can't create without being pregnant. So if it comes up with a BFP then you're pregnant..... You can get a false negative if it is too early, but not a false positive. So congratulations hun you now have a little person growing inside you, they look like a sea monkey at the moment and it may not feel like you pgt (treasure that feeling MS is unbelievable) and welcome to the club...

[Lou Lou]

Babymonster - woo!!!! Fantastic, well done

Tryinglikecrazy - I am on my 12th cycle TTC as well, not a very nice anniversary really. Hang on in there though, it will happen

Mabello and Airline - GL in your TWWs :goodluck2:

LSK - hello. I'm good thanks, just waiting to O. Boo. 4th round of clomid and I'm not really holding out much hope. I guess I'm just fed up of having my hopes dashed every month, it gets hard to pick yourself up every time

MelA - hello

Bella :woot: Thailand will be fabulous

[babymonster]

Mel A and lou lou....thanks for the congrats.

Our doc rang this morning to tell us the news but he was a bit late as we already knew from the HPT. He got my BT back early and all the levels he was checking for the FS were raised and came back as an early pregnancy. So its official! I'm too scared to get really excited as this is my very first pregnancy and am unsure what to expect and DH wants to be cautious till 12 weeks. After trying for 2 1/2 yrs it stil seems like a dream.

I hope everyone gets some good news in the next few weeks...wishing you all luck!

Well its about time that I finally put fingers to keys and added my two cents worth to this site.
I have been reading your posts for a few weeks now and almost feel like I know you.
I have been TTC my second child for the past 6 months. I am currently taking Metformin for PCOS and am about to try my first cycle of Clomid. I have read lots of promising posts and have my fingers crossed!!
I conceived my son after nearly 10 years of trying then after just 3 months on Metformin the BFP I thought would never appear was there!
Anyway HI from me I look forward to getting to know you and love the opportunity to share in the difficult, stressful, sad & joyous journey we are all going through!

[Danni]

bella im so sorry...i got a bfn this morning too (12dpo). Hopefully it was just too early for us

airline: how are you travelling?

welcome nick! Hopefully the metformin works again quickly for you.

I went to see my FS today who said keep trying with clomid. waiting for af now to start my 8th cycle

[airline]

Well my lovely ladies....sad news...AF arrived today....she's getting meaner every time.

Anyway, I did my crying the other day, so today was more about, 'hey ho where's the panadol?'

On a positive note, my cycle was 30 days with 12 luteal last cycle and 29 with 12 luteal this cycle. So happy that I"m textbook with my luteal phase...if nothing else!

That was my last effort with clomid...all natural now. Dh has just advised (whilst looking over shoulder) that we'll be pregnant next month )

Nick the chick....welcome welcome. Good luck with your journey and let us know how you're going. I find this a far better website than any other I've ventured onto. It allows you to express yourself freely, and you can have a laugh as well as sympathise/empathise with others.

Bella and Mabello, sorry for your BFN, fingers crossed just too early. If you don't get your good news....we'll catch up next cycle seeing as we seem to be cycle sisters.

Speak soon

[Lou Lou]

Oh no, so sorry to all those who have had BFNs, boo

Nick - welcome and GL. 10 years TTC sounds SO stressful. I hope it's not that long this time

Me - I have O-ed (probably Sunday but I haven't been temping every day because of early starts etc.) so I'll just wait and see. I have given up getting my hopes up as I can't handle the let down. Still, you never know. Sigh.

Hello to all you lovely ladies out there

[bella55]

Any news Maybello???

Af still hasn't arrived for me so will test again tom if still nothing. I feel very moody though like iusually do pre AF so i'm not all that hopeful.

Hi to everyone.
