[bella55]

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.

airline: at 8dpo i had some light spotting and it was implantantion! a few days later i discovered i was pregnant! hang in there lovey xx

thanks mabello...I'd love to hope....but I know what I'm like and I quite often 'spot' before period. This is brown though....not sure if that's normal.

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick me note - BFN this am

Last round of clomid for us once AF arrives. I don't feel to bad as i really didn't think this was our month. The only thing i'm going to do differently this cycle is more BDing eating healthy and exercise other than that what will be will be.

Any news from anyone else

Hi to all

[babymonster]

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

Bella:

Most of my colleagues have been to Phuket, and love it!! My supervisor leaves on the 5th to go there...lucky thing!
I believe there are a few reasons why you don't take clomid for longer than 6 months, but they include the fact that it thins your uterus lining, and there is a higher chance of miscarriage apparently.

babymonster:

massive congratulations...sorry it's a bit late! how you feeling now???

Tryinglikecrazy:


I know what you mean about it being a year etc. I'm into 13th month officially (we came off the pill 19 months ago, but used protection...to get my body sorted after the pill

Mabello...how's your 2ww going?? or is that a silly question? I find that no two months are the same. I seem to feel different about each one. I'm less obsessed than last month, and I've limited my time on the forums which I think has helped.


I'm on CD25..8DPO. I am most definately not testing till the date suggested by FF.
Although saying that DH is going away for 10 days, on the day we should test,so if AF hasn't arrived we'll do the test the day before. I'll either be and he'll go the next day...or and he'll go away the next day! Their software gave us a High chance of conceiving due to OPK, temps. etc, but it did last time and AF arrived.

I don't feel annnnnyyyy different...and it's giving me the *****!! The closer I get, the more I think negatively cos I feel 'normal'. Have to remind myself that a lot of people have no symptoms.

Anyway, my distraction..which is fast becoming my new obsession (must stay away from all shops) is scrapbooking. I'm loving it. I'm not very arty, but I like to play, and sometimes I feel quite creative. Every now and then, I think about the fact that it will be something that I pass onto my children, to show them our life before they came along. My new pages are my mum's birthday lunch and I've got a heap of photos developed and ready to scrap!

Just watched the State of Origin.....whoo hoo..go the maroons!!!! Billy Slater my hero!
