Awww Mako, I know how you feel sweetie, I think Christmas is going to be hard for me too thinking that our little bubba would have had it's first christmas.
But hopefully you'll find out tomorrow that you have the best xmas pressie EVER!
***ETA: OK,the deed is done and it wasn't bad at all! We'll go again tonight and tomorrow night and that's it. Not much point in killing ourselves here when our chances are not great anyway.
Mako, anxiously awaiting your news, really hope it's a BFP sweetie!

Hi girls,
I am another newie to this thread but am enjoying that there are a few others out there exactly the same as me. I am on my first clomid cycle and on CD3 at the moment. A bit scared to be finally at the clomid stage but hoping that it will work some miracles for us.
Lots of luck to everyone else and here's hoping for lots of BFPs for Xmas!
Wooo hooo Willow - good to hear it wan't too bad (I am sure DH is rapt to know that too )
Thank you for thinking about *alf* - it has been a little stressful (to say the least ) but we are doing well and I am following Deb's teachings by using positive thinking. Only 29 weeks to go!!!!
I have everything crossed that you will be joining me soon
Willow - you dag!!! IKWYM though about BDing "on command".
BW, I meant to say to you the other day that if your DH knows someone quite well in the radiography dept, then I would be fairly sure that he would be able to get someone that he didn't know. It might mean speaking to the prior to the day though, just to make sure that you don't get your friend.
Well I have just heard back from specialist and my results came back negative. They said that it may be just way too early and if af still hasn't showed by Thursday to go for another b/t. I think if that happens I'll wait until next Monday before I test again just to give myself that extra few days. I just wish that if I'm really not preg that af will get a wriggle on so we can get onto our next cycle.
Thanks to everyone for asking about me.
Welcome KateYO1, I wish you all the best for a successful cycle.
Monnie, Good luck to you. I hope the tww flies by for you and you end up with a bfp.
Bei Bei, All the best to you for your first cycle of clomid. I hope you don't get any side effects except a great big bfp.
Willow Good luck with the bding and avoiding the stitches lol. Hope dh is very gentle with you lol.
Ktgirl, Hayseed, Michelle71, Flowerchild and BW, I hope you are all going well. I hope I haven't missed anyone but if I have.
I'm 5DPO today...it was going to be 6DPO but FF pushed my O day forward 1 day...
So...it's just a waiting game at the moment...
Not feeling anything in particular...a little teary, nipples a bit sore...but nothing else...not sure what is me and what is clomid (if anything?)...actually, really trying not to "be on the lookout" for any little symptom, as otherwise I just get too disappointed when AF shows...
Trying to stay nonchalant about this....YEAH RIGHT...who are you kidding, Monnie!!!
Just checked your DPO...you're the same as me!
Yay...we can endure the agony together!!! Here's hoping it is THE month!!!
Just wanted to say...this thread is so fantastic...the support and care that you clomid/metformin girls show is truly awesome....I feel incredibly blessed to be around such a group of positive and perseverant women...just wonderful!!!

Sorry for your result Mako...
Like us all I was so hoping for good news for you.
Welcome to you Kate - I too am on cd3 and I have booked myself a with Santa as I am sure you have too!
Bugger Mako! Was hoping for some great news for you. But while AF is still at bay there always remains hope (but I know how hard it is to keep your chin up).
BW - what will the u/sound reveal? What are they looking for? Or is it just a preliminary thing for his surgery? I hope you get some good news at long last. Is it likely he will have his surgery before Christmas? I know I was so relieved to have it over and done with and not hanging over my head over the holidays.
At least you won't have to worry about running into your friend, that's a huge relief. I'll never forget running into a close friend of mine's sister and mum at my old gyno's rooms - even though they knew what was going on with me, I panicked instantly! hehehe, took me a while to realise they already knew and I hadn't been busted!
I was just reading your post about your feelings on IVF, and I don't think you're strange at all - I feel the exact same way! I've had a feeling this is where we were headed so it's not exactly a shock and like you, there are aspects of it that really appeal to me. Like the lack of 'scheduled' bding, the whole agonising have I ovulated or haven't I? Did we do it at the right time? Did we miss the window?? etc etc. Also, the huge jump in success rates per cycle as opposed to a natural cycle can't be a bad thing either!
We'll both see what the coming weeks bring, but if we both head down that path, we'll do it together and we'll be at peace with it, and that can only be a positive start!

Just on the lookout for Smudge. You haven't been around for a few days so I thought I would just check that you are doing ok? How are you going with the double dose of Clomid. Hopefully it is not giving you too much grief. Good luck with your scan on Thursday
Monnie- I know what you mean about not trying to pick up too much with the side effects because you don't want to be let down but it is soooo hard. This TWW never gets any easier. This month I have had sore BB since O so I won't be able to tell if they get any worse so count me out with that one. I have even put DH on strike from touching because they are so sore :eek: how will he cope lol. Hopefully we get our BFP at the same time.
I guess the ultrasound is to map out the varicocele and give the surgeon a better idea of what he's dealing with before he gets in there. It's an area where you really, really don't want any mistakes! Poor DH, he'll have to take time off work for surgery, and when he tells people that, they ask why he needs surgery... and he's left feeling awkward as he doesn't want to say! It's all very strange seeing the tables turned and him having to experience some of the indignities that us girls have to go through! Sadly, no chance of it happening before Christmas, the surgeon is booked out right to the end of the year.
Willow, it's nice to know that I'm not completely mad, and that my thoughts on IVF actually make sense! Also nice to know I'm being stalked through the other thread, too. Sometimes it's hard for me to remember what I've said where and I just get all confused!
I'm finding myself with some awkward decisions to make... approaching the end of the year when I'll be allowed to try clomid again. I can probably start provera next weekend (that turned me pretty psycho, so starting once the kids have finished but I still have two days of work left is as close as I want to push it!), then clomid fairly soon after that, but I'll need to be careful I don't end up scheduling BD-time right on Christmas as we usually end up staying with my parents! :eek: But... with DH needing to have surgery and then 2-3 months before decent sperm start to be produced... is it really worth it? But then again, plodding along and continuing to go nowhere doesn't really appeal much either...
