Just taking a quick break from a very busy weekend to say hello. We are painting the outside of our house this weekend and have just taken a break for lunch and to escape the heat! Every time we plan a big job around the house we get a stinking hot day!
Not much happening with me, just plodding along waiting for AF to turn up, probably tomorrow judging by another temp drop this morning. Something interesting this cycle though - no LP spotting so far (cd27). This is the first cycle in 6 months that I haven't had it. If it wasn't all in vain I'd be a bit excited about that but considering I'll be under the knife in 9 days time it's a bit of a moot point now. Still, depending on the outcome of my lap, at least we now know that 100mg is a better dose for me if we can continue to ttc without ivf. I am assuming it's the increase in my dose that has finally stopped the spotting but will discuss this with my FS if it becomes relevant.
Chelle - I read your posts at work the other day and i really felt for you but was waaaay too busy to reply. All the other girls have since said what i was going to say anyway! Deb just has a way with words that picks you right back up doesn't she?? I just wanted to add that I am "only" 28 and I still feel that panicked feeling when I hear my biological clock ticking. I think everyone has a life plan mapped out in their heads to a degree and mine included having all my babies by the time I turned 30. I don't think there's a single thing wrong with having babies in your thirties or forties, but it's a very personal thing and I just wanted to be a young mum. That's not going to happen now and it's something that I too struggle with, so it's not really about age to a degree, I think it's more about hopes and dreams and plans not working out the way we wanted them too - ifykwim. Although I do appreciate your concern about your age impacting on your fertility. Anyway, glad to see you are feeling better.
Pollyanna - how are you feeling? I hope you are not getting too anxious about Thursday, but understandable if you are. I'm going to be shocking next week I think. I am thinking of you and praying for a brilliant result.
BW - you really have had a crappy month all round haven't you? Hope you are feeling better soon. ((Hugs))
Michelle - glad to see you pop in and that you and alf are continuing to do well. I think about you often and look forward to hearing about your next wonderful scan. Glad you enjoyed U2 - one of my girlfriends is 13 wks prg and went both nights!! I was impressed by her stamina! LOL!
Deb - congrats on becoming a moderator!!! Brilliant decision by BB. I know I'm a bit slow but I only just read about it.
Hayseed - I hope you did manage to catch that egg and this is THE month! I agree with you about the different brands of the drug - I took clomahexal the first two cycles and serophene this cycle - I felt A LOT more ovary action on clomahexal than I did on serophene which is strange considering I took 100mg this cycle and my previous cycles on clomahexal were only 25mg and 50mg. I know they say they are identical but I think if I do another clomid cycle I might go back to clomihexal.
