Lan, thanks for your support. The reason I am adjusting the dosage myself is that its not a real science. Basically the dosage which works is the dosage which is right. Especially because low progesterone can stuff up your thyroid and vice versa. It seems if you up one you need less of the other. At the moment I feel like I am getting better results from the progesterone so am dropping the thyroid which is what has been giving me the panic attacks. I have my pms week coming up next week so it will be a good opportunity to see if I am close to the mark. Since dropping my thyroid dose I am feeling so much better so fingers crossed.
As soon as I feel confident with it DH and I are off to the bedroom!!
Speaking of which I am very confused about potential BFP dates. I know they must be soon. Lan and Jo please let me know so that I can send you both lots of BFP vibes.
I hope you have all had a lovely weekend, we have had the most insane whether in Bris, as youv'e probably heard on the news. Crazy storms through the week, which luckily we didn't get the worst of, but yesterday was sooo hot and today is like an Autumn day! Went to bed last night with the air con on and woke up this morning under blankets with a beautiful crisp breeze blowing in, bizarre! It made me get to thinking about Autumn though and how close we will be to having our little one then, I just hope that is the way it all works out. Isn't it funny how the strangest things give us hope, thank God! Bring on Autumn!! Any way finally got to see my cousin today, (she lives in Newcastle, but were up for her sis wedding), apparently she doesn't have enough follicles to do an IVF cycle so they have canned this cycle (bugger) but on the up side they can still try naturally as there are still eggs there, problem is they can't guarantee how many! The Dr said at most there could be 4! But statistics say usually only 50% will produce eggs (I think that is what she said) so she could end up with 1, 2, 3 or 4, if she fell naturally this time. I am crossing everything I have for her, they are moving back to Brisbane in April so if she has multiples at least we will all be here to lend a hand!
I am starting to get nervous about my scan tomorrow, Cooper was born alive so I have only ever had 'happy' scans, unlike so many of you, but it is so much scarier this time, but I have a good feeling.
Helen, I am so glad this awful weather is giving you hope! We are on the Gold Coast but like you have managed to miss the worst of the weather.
I hope your cousin gets lucky. It must be such a stressful process.
I will have everything crossed for your scan tomorrow. I wish there was more I could do, but hopefully that will get the universe shifting a bit in the right direction for you.
Good luck and I look forward to some happy news when I get home tomorrow night!
Thanks for the welcome everyone. I'm so glad I took the giant leap and joined you all. Congratulations on your pregnancy Rozzie & Helen.
Helen, hope all went well with the scan today and I really hope all goes well for your cousin.
Paula, sorry you haven't been feeling well lately but glad to hear you're getting a little better after changing your dosage of meds. Sounds like you're not too far away from some serious action! Praying your BFP is just around the corner...
AFM, I'm due for AF today and so far she has not reared her ugly head. I have mild cramping and heaved 3 times this morning, once brushing my teeth and twice when I walked into the bathroom at work. Strange... I'm assuming it would be too early for morning sickness wouldn't it? I didn't get it until about week 7 with my previous pregnancy. I've probably caught a bug or something and I'm pretty sure it's not the pregnancy bug going around on this thread!But God how I'm praying it is...
Does anyone know if Clomid can make you feel this sick due to high prog levels?
and thinking of you.
