Quick question Updated with pic of OPK

[maybe baby]

Scans are usually done on your first cycle, to check how many follies/if there are follies, I expect they're cutting back....

I meant OPK in the last post too.

Thus is my 1st cycle and I was on 100mg cd2-6 xx

I'm to have 21 prog but nothing else xx
Differs wherever you are I think but as long as it works then we don't care right?! Xx

yeah your right hun - i'll take as many tablets as i have to or have as many scans as i have to if it means we can have our little bundle of joy!!

Ive got one cycle of 50mg left. hoping i wont need it!!

[Drummers_wife]

Whet cycle are you on of the clomid?! Will you be upped to 100mg if pray to god it doesn't work this cycle?!

Any side effects??!!!
I've had a bit of nausea and headache but other than that all good

And yeah if we have to have loads done to get that baby we will

 

[nicky1987]

I'm on cycle 2 of it. They said they wanted me to of had 3 cycles of it done by my next appointment! Af had different ideas so ive only had 2. So im not sure what they will do. I hope they will up it and just scrap the 3rd cycle of 50mg!!

Ive had really really bad hot flushes with it and the worst mood swings ever!!! I guess its just all the hormones coming into line lol xxx

 

[Drummers_wife]

yeah will be the hormones - ive not had bad mood swings as such but 1 day i honestly thought i was gona punch Hubby in the face- he got on my nerves just opening his mouth + breathing - bad eh? but that was only 1 day xx

well only 2 more days and i get my prog checked to see if it has worked FX it will have xx

 

[Kay Kay]

still plenty of time to ov nicky so don't worry. test again for the next few days and hopefully they will get darker. i would just anyway as much as you can be bothered with over the next week get jiggy wit it hehe

it's interesteing you're taking clomid with no scans....i still have a packet of clomid in my drawer that a friend gave me that i'm too scared to take cos i thought it would be better to be scanned, make sure there aren't too many eggs? i'm a big crap bag! lol

FX it works for you hun (and you DW) xxxx

 

[nicky1987]

Just looked in my secret drawer............... only 1 opk left! Shit - thats not good!! Gonna have to get myself on ebay lol!

Fingers crossed for you that your prog has raised!!

Kay Kay are you private or on the nhs?

xx

 

[Kay Kay]

I'm on the nhs. They won't give me clomid cos I already ovulate. But feel like I want to try something while I wait for IUI, it's frustrating just plodding along ourselves.

I've loads of opks i could post some tomorrow and you would prob get them tues? Would be quicker than ebay if you think you might ov in the next few days. Just pm your address if you want x

 

[Drummers_wife]

youve got good will power kaykay - i think i would have taken the clomid!! im only having progesterone on the 1st month then no other tests for 2 months taking it so i would take it i am a bad influance hee hee xx

 

[nicky1987]

its so strange how everywhere is different!!! They wouldnt do 21 day bloods on my first cycle of it because my body wouldnt be used to it or something!! Maybe its because i'm on the lower dose!!

I'm actually quite nervous about going for my follow up!!

xx

 

[Kay Kay]

Ooooo hun don't tempt me lol It's only 50mg but I don't wanna go against doctors orders eeek! I'm waiting for a month that I'm especially low then I might take it. Been not too bad these last few months. Sad to say I think I'm just more used to getting AF, it doesn't kill me the way it used to, just feel numb to it now

Aww nic, no need to be nervous you'll be fine chick

 

[Drummers_wife]

KayKay i know that numb feeling very very well - i wonder when that sets in - been with me for many months now!! at least its easier each month expecting the worse rather than dissappointment each month xx

No nerves needed - all they say will get you a step forward always think of it as experience and every appointment/scan/bld test/tablets will all equate to the baby we all cherish someday soon

 

[nicky1987]

I think i'm more nervous because its the first one im going on my own to!! OH is really good at absorbing all the information but it sort of just washes over my head lol!! Might have to write it all down!! x

 

[Kay Kay]

Yeah good idea, take a pad and pen with you. Take your time absorbing it all, don't let them rush you. I have felt a bit rushed in the past but then I think 'hold on I've waited months and months for this appointment, you WILL give me your time!' Even if it means repeating questions etc.

I wrote stuff down the last time, I don't care what the doc thinks of me, it really helped cos I'm a bit like you, things tend to escape me!

DW yeah it sets in after a certain amount of time ttc I reckon. It's our minds way to cope. Life would be unbearable if I was devastated every month, think my meltdown in december was when it all came to a head xxx

 

[nicky1987]

I'm guessing the clomid must have worked last cycle as my cycle was only 60 days!! Whereas all my others have been 140+ days!! I must have just ov'd later than i thought last cycle.

I need to remember to mention that af only lasted 2 days!!

xx

 

[Drummers_wife]

i took notes with me of my dates of af, tests and results plus hubby sperm results etc and she was very impressed how organised i was and none of this ooooh well i havent got the info crap xx
make sure you write down anything ur unsure about and then have enough space to the write the answers down xx

im a nurse and i still found it difficult to absorb all the info xx

yeah funny - i cant remember when my melt down was but i do remember having it- not just crying but sobbing my heart out and hubby just holding me - i think thats when i gave up on opks and said i need treatment/help so dont worry anymore until help arrives xx wonder what ill be like at end of this 2ww as its my 1st month of this 'help' xx eeeeek xx

 

[nicky1987]

I had one of those melt downs but unfortunatly i was at work when it happened. It was a work collegues comment of "all babies should be drowned at birth" that completly tore me apart!!! Got home that night and told OH i wanted him to leave me and find somebody else who could give him what he wanted because i obviously couldnt! He just hugged me for ages whilst i sobbed and sobbed!!

Im trying to avoid another mental breakdown but i have a stupid habit of getting my hopes up far too much and setting myself up to fall flat on my face!!!

 

[Drummers_wife]

yeah i know its easier said than done but definetely key is not to put too much hope and all into each cycle- relaxed what will be will be is a good sinario xx
