Wow new thread - in response to the last few emails - Avonlea - I did suggest to my DH that we go away this weekend - however, he is planting (farmer). so not a chance in the world!!

I had my US on Tues - my left side is doing nothing - literally, this month - except for being painful - my right however, has gone to town!! 2 dominent follies which should be released soon and apparently another 15 smaller ones - which won't do anything. My right is the ovary that usually does nothing!! This is getting all very confusing!

Hope everyone is enjoying the BDing this month!~

Well its day 28 for me.My period is due either today or tommorrow.Im pretty sure i ovulated on CD 14/15 as i normally do and had my surges and incredible pain on both sides where my ovaries are those 2 days.No period symptoms just tender nipples and had cramping last week on and off.
Tommorrow is D day!!!
Will keep you updated.
Hopefully i will get that Positive ive waited 5 years for!

Avonlea: You lucky thing it is a big deal for my hubby to DTD each month. Next month I am not even going to worry about the whole when we BD ...we don't have very active sex life anyhow and even the 3 or four times we do DTD now we are clomid and got things hopefully wokring its an effort.....

Want baby#2....oh so so exciting I can hardly wait for tomorrow...... for you hun...let us know

31BEc... My active side is my left everything seems to happen on the left..o pain. o itself and even the more dominant eggs are on the left ...although I think the right may be getting its nose out of joint as this cycle it actually producded one but still all the pain on the left


As for me well not sure if i posted it but I rang the preg test hotlaine and the lady who was really helpful said that if I on clomid I have to wait till I due to get a real positive. One before it is not recommended...I went and bought a super 10hcg level test and got a negative so i guess it will be in 2 more months for us I hope when we go again.
I thinking of having a break next month as I don't want a February baby.

Mrzbaby what an exciting time of the month i love the end. Good luck

Im on day 9 and today is the first day that i actually feel good i feel like myself.
i finished my chlomid round 2 last night so waiting for mid cycle to get into action with dh ..
tring to be really positive this month.Had a bit of a moment last night were i felt sad and sorry for myself and was just thinking y does this have to be so hard for people who want this more than anything in the world.i had a cry for about a minute then Dh was like baby it will happen soon i promise,he is so supportive and wants this just as much as me, praying this is our month & all of yours 2..

Wantbaby2 - fingers crossed for you tomorrow.

Frustrated - you are not alone on the upset bit. Big hugs!

I have booked in to the beautician's tomorrow to get a massage! To try and relax myself and ease the pain around my lower back. I can't wait!!!!!!

Oh - is anyone else annoyed with people (who fall preggies easy) saying "when are you having kids, you better hurry up you are getting older and falling behind!!!" I think the next person that says something along those lines I might just tell them exactly where to go - it is sending me insane!!!

Baby dust to all.

PS. I don't know what is happening to my tracker, I am actually up to day 15!

HI Girls

I just have a quick question for you all, im now on day 15 and am having bad back pain and really just feel like crap and was wondering if anyone else had this on Clomid? I did get alot of ovary pain yesterday and a bit today so im hoping thats me OV,now lets hope the fellas find their way there.

[wantbaby#2]

Hi,Im at day 31.No period yet but just did a pregnancy test and it was negative.Wont be doing clomid mext cycle as husband has to go away for work the week of suspected ov.Not happy at all.Having the chance to use clomid again was all that would have made a neg test easier to deal with.Now im just so upset.I have no pregnancy and no husband for the next 2 months to try for a baby.

[mrzbaby]

Want baby #2 - Oh hun.... >I think the clomid might stretch our cycles...I am on clomid too and my cycle this month is everywhere..... I thought I got AF back yesterday then today its gone again...I had the same thing last weekend.....I know its hard but I will be joining you on the 2 month wait as we are out next month for clomid ( we don't have a 'active sex life' next month I am not even bothering with the clomid! I figure why put chemicals in my body to get things to work when he still smokes and can't bother making the effort to DTD . ) so I am here for you as a cycle buddy!!!!!

Has anyone found they are far more emotional on the clomid....this cycle I feel as thought I have had PMS through most of my cycle to the point that I just want everyone to stay away from me in case I just SNAP...
I should change my name to Raging hormones EM!!!

[wantbaby#2]

Thankyou MrZBABY.I am always pretty regular.28-29 day cycle and i Know i ovulated late day 14 early 15.Couldnt see any other reason for being late other than pregnancy.Got my hopes up and promised myself i wouldnt but did. I hate all of this infertility stuff.Its not fair. I wouldnt wish this on anyone.

[mrzbaby]

Wantbaby2 - Have got gotten a HPT that tests at a really low HCG Level like 10mgl?? Spelling??

[tammara]

here everyone is, i was popping in wondering why there were no new posts lol helps if i clicked the new thread.

Just popped in to see how everyone is going, nothing has with me still waiting - hope to get the BFP soon good luck

[wantbaby#2]

The test i used was first morning and 15mIU so i guess its quite accurate....says it should give an accurate reading even 10 days after conception.

[wantbaby#2]

My update: As you know i did my pregnancy test and it was negative.Last night i started to cramp and had (sorry for being so detailed)brown blood that was only light.This morning i woke up with no cramps at all but very heavy bleeding but with lots of large clots.I usually have some smaller clots normally but this was alot.Really large ...again sorry for detail.Im wondering how clomid affects other womens cycles.It was my first cycle and because im not under supervision of my FS i have no one to ask if this is normal.
How is everyone else going on their cycles?
Lets hope to hear some good news to brighten us all up.

Hi Wantababy, just also had a BFN in the TWW but after an IVF cycle - I was very surprised finding that my period was very very heavy - about double as strong as normal but have been assured by the nurses and the other ladies here that this is normal. Good luck with your journey.

Beckie73 - about 2 times each cycle i have been getting really bad back aches, to the point where im nearly in tears last time it lasted 2 days i was in so much pain, i have heard the back pain is normal tho.

So im on day 12 now, and getting ready to make this month count lol

[beckie73]

Thanks Frustrated, i was starting to worry,it was killing me.....

Im now on day 18 so lets hope im on my way to my BFP, i will be testing hopefully Thursday,im off to get a BT,it will be day 21!

I suppose there is not much more i can do now except cross my fingers and pray that this month is my month!

[mrzbaby]

Want #2 I think it could be the clomid read below this AF?? (if that what you could call it!) is my first since starting the clomid.

HELP PLEASE CLOMIDERS!!!!!
Ok go from when I got the +opk and the doc said I ahve two mature eggs then he told me they both released...6 days later I got two gushes of blood ( fresh) Sorry for TMI. then I test and get a BFP thenn I read on test it could be the clomid so i get told to retest after RB due..The on Friday afternnon I assume what is RB starting ( old blood dark brown and not much) then from Friday night to Saturday nothing at all weird... then saturday got a tiny bit of bleeding again old blood at night nothing to write home about then again nothing.....Then last night I started getting really bad pain lkike I mean really really bad ... the same pain as what I was getting between having to go back and have all those D&C's like I know this pain all too well....... I NEVER get period pain and this pain is like first stage labour cramping pain...now just starting to get a tiny little bit dark brown and a tiny bit of fresh but again nothing to exciting.....and the pain setting in again so i bet it will slow down to nothing again...The problem is FS wants to do ultrasound monitoring this cycle and tomorrow makes me @ day 5 for the clomid but I can't say this is AF IYKWIM. He also wants to rush me in to have a go at IUI this month instead of going on a waiting list ( because of my August deadline of the 1 yr anniversary of my reversal) .....AARRRGGHHHHHHHHH What is my body doing?????????? HELP ME ANY IDEAS PLEASE???????? The oh so frustrated and confused EM !!!!
