Hi all!

Have you all had a good weekend??

Just a quickie (sorry no personals - off to watch the rest of the footie)

I'm on day 13 of my cycle and should be having IUI in a couple of days. Have had 2 lots of bloods already - everythings quiet at the mo. 3rd lot tomorrow so we'll see what they say. I reckon I'll go Tues or Wed.

Nicki - what's the deal with the clomid?? Can you choose whether you want to take it or whether you want a natural cycle??

Gail honey how's the 2 ww going?? I'll be joining you soon..... getting a bit nervous actually, thinking about my first ever 2 WW (well apart from when dh and I tried naturally, before we knew.....)

Bye for now all. Lots of love xxx

I dont know, I decided after 3 BFN that if i took clomid it would help me get BFP, however when i asked the dr's they said yes I can, but now i think why take it if i havent got a problem with ovulation?
I have read that it causes miscarriage, I would hate to get preg only to lose it, that would be worse than BFN
So now I tink I am going to try it natural again, just to be safe, and then if i get BFN again then do it!!!

What do u think??

Lisa, good Luck for tues, if u go in x x

Jen hope your M.S has settled down now, stress is one of those things that is so difficult to control. Sending huge hugs your way. That’s amazing that you have had 5 viewings on your house already, has anyone made a definite offer? And what about the barn has that offer been accepted yet?

Lis im so sorry about DH’s Dad, I cant believe DH’s Mum has now broken her ankle as well, as you say it never rains but it pours. Hope you had a fab weekend with your Mum and spent a fortune in the shops. Its nice that the clinic can give you a bit of detail about the sperm donor, did they give you any other info? IUI any day for you, it will be good to have some company on the 2ww. :D

Nicki that is fantastic that you have a donor, I am so pleased for you and your DH. It wont be long at all before you start and not long until you get a BFP. :D I took clomid for this FET, I think it was just to make sure I ovulate, it didn’t thin my lining at all but then everyone could be different. It does seem unnecessary for you to take it if you always ovulate, I suppose its your clinics decision in the end but you should be able to push them for what you want.

Julie hope your collar bone is on the mend. Hope you work is improving to, we have to spend so much time at work its horrible when its not a nice atmosphere, fingers crossed that it will get better and its just a settling in period. Are you going to phone the NHS soon if they don’t call you?

Lucy hope you are ok?

Little P thanks for your support, I can’t believe that Amelia is nearly 4 months old! I bet you can’t believe it happened sometimes, your little miracle.

As for me this 2ww is hell!! It started off fine and I was full of PMA but I am having a bad day today. I have had AF type pains on and off and I keep thinking the worst. I know it doesn’t mean anything and people do get BFP’s and have AF pains, so I am trying desperately to keep up the PMA. I have decided that if it doesn’t work this time we are going to go away somewhere hot in January and then start a fresh cycle of IVF in January / February time which will give my body a break from all the drugs which I think is the sensible thing to do. I’m obviously praying that I get a BFP on the 18th and I wont be booking a holiday but I need to focus on something else as well to keep me going through this 2ww. Hope that doesn’t sound stupid.

Hi Girls

Hope everyone is doing well.....??


Gail - how's the 2ww going? Hope you're taking things easy. Not long for you to go now, 8 days and counting...!!!! Don't be worrying about the AF type pains, it can be a good thing.!

Nicki - Fantastic news on the donor / 10 straws, really pleased for you. As for the clomid, I can't really advise you but if you feel its the wrong thing to do then don't do it, as you say it only makes you ovulate, but make sure you cover this with clinic first. Maybe the want to put you on it just to make sure.! Good Luck anyway.

Julie - Glad the collarbone is feeling a bit better. Sorry things feel a bit unsettled at work. Its always hard when there's big changes, our company is in the middle of a merge so things feel a bit uneasy (hence why I went for a interview) but I'm sure in time things will map out again. Take Care Hun

Lis - Good Luck with the bloods tomorrow - can't believe you'll be starting IUI in a couple of days. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Jen - How are you sweetie - hope you are doing OK. Hope your health is good too. Have you been up to see Adam this weekend.? Any more news on House or on the barn.? Tale Care

As for me, didn't get that job I went for. It was in a totally different field to what I have done in past, but really fancied a change, anyway I was told I did really well in my interview but they offered it to someone who had more experience, but she felt she could of trained me in the right places and if another job comes up she would like me to apply. So I thought that was good.! Anyway I'm fine about it, just keep looking out for more adverts.
I have my follow up appt on 19th July. I am wanting to do tmt as soon as but my boyfriend thinks I should wait until October, that is giving my body a rest, but I am eager to do another cycle as soon as I can.

Right then, boyf just come back with Chinese so I'm off to ENJOY.....!

Take Care all

Love Lucy

Hello :o

This thread is so quiet right now!

Lucy honey sorry about the job but gauranteed there is something better waiting for you around the corner :wink: Have you made a decision on when to cycle again?

Julie - how's the collarbone? Mending?? Have you heard anything from the clinic yet?

Gail - how's the PMA doing honey through the 2 WW?? Sending you loads and loads :wink: xxx

Jeni - how are you doll? What's the latest on the barn? Enjoy your lunch tomorrow. Be sure ad let us know how it goes xxx

Nicki- nothing further to add from what I've said on other posts. Big hugs to my donor buddie :D

I am now officially on my 2 WW!!! Had bloods this morning then phoned at 11 am. LH surge detected and oestrogen levels had doubled so went in this afternoon.

Have been advised to wait 17 DAYS and test on Saturday 29th July) but go to Italy on Friday 28th July so I might test on Thursday 27th as I know I usually always ovulate on day 16 (today) and have AF 14 - 15 days later

So fingers crossed!! :roll:

Love to all xxx

Lucy I agree with everyone else..now is the time to focus on healing you and building up strength to go again, I took 6 months off ( so has Nicky) before trying again, and i deffo felt stronger ( also felt i dealt with the BFN better this time because of the space to heal between tmt's)( not that a BFN will be a problem for you)...I hope to be going in Oct so we can be OCTObuddies !!!! sorry about the job Luc...I am sure something better will be along soon. Also it was good practice at interview techniques great you got positive feedback :D :D...big hugs honey x x



Nicky How's things...Glad you decided not to take clomid...although it helped me get preggers both times i took it it can also help to cause ectopics...With the reflexology it's good to see that you are so regular...you are so right not to F up your system...Go girl good luck on your 2ww. :D :D we are all routing for you

julie How's your painful collar bone? Is it beginning to mend okay? how are you coping with it all? thinking of ya oh positive one... x x

kate and Lola how are you oh quiet ones??? ( i am one to talk)

A big HI to our preggy Pheonix MLG and yummy mummies Little P and Smita...( kissses to Amelia & Dhurrva)...

I have been a bit low ( burnt out really) but am feeling better today. we lost the barn :evil: ( were gazumped ) and i was really sad but am now okay cause we will find something better. :D We sold our house in 3 days with a fantastic offer and i am still recovering from the shock...So tomorrow after my work leaving 'do', i am going up North to look at houses with Adam and stay there for 2 wks. Hope to get some R&R too. Poor adam is burnt out too as he has had to come back to Glasgow the past 3 weekends as i have been selling the house and then too unfit to travel. I will be so glad to get a new house and moving in date so i can settle myself in for the autumn/winter...then i can be with you all more frequently...I do miss ya all...( sniff sniff)
I will be thinking of you all over the next few weeks take care Pheonixes...keep flying high

p.s. is anyone doing anything in August...It's a quiet month so far as we have only Lisa wedding ani to celebrate :? :D
