    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

    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!

    Babymonster I am so pleased for you - especially now you have the offical BT news. After all this time you've done it - you're going to be a Mummy

    Of course you have to be cautious but still, this is the first step and you should feel very pleased with yourself :woot:

    I am feeling down at the moment because it is my 12th cycle TTC but compared to what you've been through, that's nothing. Very inspiring - perhaps I'll join you in a few weeks?!

    PS - how come you have 2.5 furkids?

    Hey Lou lou,
    Thankyou once again for your support. I hope you join me soon as i'll need some pregnancy buddies! As for the 2.5 furkids this is the story. I had 2 dogs when i met my DH. Even though he loves them dearly he is a cat person. So I bought him a kitten for valentines day this year and well let me put it this way...she thinks she's a dog....not any dog but a german shepherd! Those two sleep together, play together , do everything together and the cat even grooms the shepherd and visa versa....She stalks my jack russell though! so hence we have 2.5 dogs as she does not act like a cat at all.It is very cute to watch.

    Babymonster - that's so cute about your 2.5 furkids, bless

    Bella - we'll get there in the end, I just wish I knew when so I could do something else to pass the time instead of obsessing with TTC. Sigh . Ah well, it'll be O time for me at the weekend so that's always enouraging .

    One general question - I read some where that you shouldn't take clomid for more than 6 cycles (I think it was an article on BB but I've read so many I have lost track). Does anyone have any info on how many rounds of clomid is the norm?

    Well time for bed. Hello to everyone else out there

    Hey,
    My OBGYN has only allowed me to have 6 rounds of clomid as well.... to tell the truth not totally sure why, im sure he told me...something about effecting your body??
    Ive havent taken it every cycle though due to my hubby working interstate, no point taking it if he's not there to "do the deed".

    Well girls....I found out today that someone overweight and who smokes heavily has fallen pregnant after a very short time. That threw me, didn't expect it. Went to the mall, and everywhere I bloody turned someone was heavily pregnant. Got home, collapsed into tears. Got myself together.....then discovered some blood after I went to toilet. I don't always get this, but sometimes before my period arrives. At CD26 and DPO9 it's about right.

    Hope others having more luck.

    lou lou, bella and all the rest,
    Wishing you all the best over the next few weeks.Hoping you get good results!

    Lou lou... keep your chin up girl but i know what you mean about feeling down. I cried and stayed in bed for a day or 2 after our 21 day bt as we were told it didn't work! Only now I'm in bed due to bad heartburn and morning sicknes 2 weeks later! I wont say "relax it'll happen" as that use to drive me insane.All I'll say is take some time for yourself.Only you know how to bring yourself out of the dumps and stuff anyone else!

    Bella...Have a fantastic time on holidays!

    Airline...Hows the scrapbooking coming on?

    Mabello.Goodluck in the TWW!

    Mel A...I so understand what you mean now about ms being unbelievable but it'll be worth it i the end!

    Hi Everyone,

    LouLou - i hear you - I find it so hard to try and plan anything as well cause i'm always think "i might be UTD so no i won't go or i won't do that" then the time comes around and hey guess what I'M STILL TRYING !

    Airline - We are thinking of going to phuket for 8-10 nights purly for relax, swim, sunbake and drink!! Thinking of staying at the Novotel or The Merlin (something like that!) What are your thoughts???? I know Koh Samui is beatiful but i think we will just stay in the one spot and relax. How are you anyway hun?

    AFM - I don't feel UTD but i don't feel like AF is coming either???? Will wait and see closer to the weekend - was so going to test this morning but i'm glad i didn't

    BBL to catch up

    xxBella
