I know how you feel Amelia we have a cot and change table sitting in the spare bedroom next to ours when we decided to TTC we thought it wouldn't take long and I wanted to be organised now it's waiting....

My niece was cute and when she first saw it asked if there was a baby and would run to that room everytime for a few months to check, thankfully she doesn't anymore. I use it for storage atm so it doesn't hurt as much to look at

THe hardest part is the waiting, and believe me i am the king queen and princess of waiting...

Nattie,

I know that you want your bubba right away, like we all usually do, but, it will happen, believe me, you do have time on your side and your precious one will come when all is ready. I am a true believer that that is what happens, and, usually when you least expect it...
Being all set up and organised is a step further, it is painful when you look at all your stuff, but it won't be long before you are filling up your cot with a wonderful little human being...

Hey ladies, well I will be officially joining the clomid club again as of tomorrow..AF showed her ugly painful head thismorning after 9 long weeks.
I had a second blood test on friday as my last one showed 7UI/ml and my FS thinks that I may have had a chemical pregnancy..and she re did BT to see if levels had gone down, I believe that obviously they have.
One thing Id love for someone to be able to clear up for me is Iv done lots of research on chemical pregnancies and the only thing I dont understand is that they say that is just an egg is fertilized but doesnt multiply properly and goes no where, but I dont understand for it to send out HCG levels of any detcetable amounts it has to have embedded in uterus doesnt it??
If anyone can clear that up for me, that would be great.
I am a little upset about it coz its technically a loss...but what I am greatful for is that if I did have a chemical preg at least I know that I obviously ovulated successfully and thats a step up from where we were.
I start on Clomid 100mg tomorrow..can anyone shed any light on when its common to ovualate after that? I am going to see dr and ask for a mid cycle ultrasound anyway, but just interested.

thanks ladies, hope this month is the one we have all been waiting for! Would make a terrific 2012 xmas pressie!!

I'm sorry to hear that iwanttobeamummy . A loss no matter when is still hard especially when it's all you dream of. I'm really not sure about the 'chemical pregnancy' thing but I'm sure you're right about it embedding before it can release HCG. I know my last m/c was 5w1d and I asked the FS about when it might not have worked out and this was his explaination to me "as DH's sperm count is low it contains fewer good quality sperm and sometimes the egg can be fussy and go onto reject the sperm, or there was an abmormality that stopped it forming properly, or it didn't implant properly". I have also read that about 50% of blastocysts implant then suddenly detach.

I feel so sorry for you out there without the proper information from the specialist- this is how I felt after the first appointment- that I had no real idea of what to do or what the next step was. My FS made me right down this schedule, I have a 32-35 day cycle so this is how it will work for me. Day 1 of AF (not spotting, full AF) call and make a mid cycle appt. Days 3-7 take 50mg Clomid and then BD every second day between days 10-20, as he believes I O between days 16-18.

I also buy my OPK's from www.pregnancy-tests(dot)com.au as they are so much cheaper (50 Ovulation & 10 Pregnancy Tests $32.95) and if you order before 2 or 2:20pm (I can't remember!) they will dispatch it that day. Plus like the other ladies have said look out for the other signs of O too so you don't feel like you have to pee on a stick everyday!


I have my FXed for you Kerrie!!

Keep us updated!

Words can not describe how sorry I am to hear that AF arrived for you and I was really hoping it would be you to kick start the BFP list...*GBH*

Me again ... How is everyone going? I'm on my last dose tonight and I don't feel a thing, no side effects at all. Which is surprising because a couple of years ago when I took it I was horrible. Dp calls them cranky pills and is very surprised this time.


Is anyone feeling anything? Pain in ovaries etc? Should I be feeling anything?


Hope you all have a great day...

Hi, well AF showed up 2 days ago and she was just horrible this time so I'll be taking my first ever dose tomorrow night

Amelia you are such a trooper . I take my fist dose tomorrow night so you're right- we nearly are in sync! Do you have a date booked for your IUI? What date will you be testing? As you saw I'm testing the start of April.

Mealsy (Amelia) 4 cycles on clomid alone (50 mg days 3-7), now starting 2nd cycle of clomid, FSH inj and IUI

Hi there ladies...sorry to hear ur bad news meals,
But well done on being so positive.
Kezz I think we must pretty much be in sync with our
Clomid...I finished my last dose today.
I didn't really notice any side effects on 50mgs but
This time on 100mg geez...hot hot flushes...ridiculous!
Headaches and dizzy spells...
Not nice ...ohh and I wanted to run people over today
When they crossed in front of me...cranky!!
Lol.
Umm no no more blood test results yet... They had
Doubled in 2-3days...but have had a visit from AF soo very
Confused! My cycle was very short this time, AF only lasted 3.5 days!!
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced their areola's getting
Bigger n darker from clomid??
I even asked my DH if he could notice and he could too...
Sooo strange. I know that's a preg symptom but surely not
With only 15u/l hcg??
Any thoughts?? Take care all...keep us a posted.
