elle - 5 tablets? so you only take them CD2-6? how do they know they have worked (other than you being up the duff!!) are they doing any scans etc.? i think you are right to be getting busy till your period arrives, at least every other day! ;0)
Joy - was begining to wonder where you got to! glad the wedding went well.
AFM - back to work today and very thankful! will find out this afternoon how long i have to wait for a transfer and if i need to take any more drugs for that. fingers crossed they are happy for me to do it sooner rather than later but will be fine if i have to wait. they warned me i would probably get sick and I did so i am leaving all decisions in their hands seeing as they are the experts!
where is everyone else?
Jackson, did you get another positive?
Armywife, how are you doing now hun?
abc, assume you are just too busy to post, ;0)
i guess bumble is off brewing her twins!!

krunchie- I am having a scan done on cd18 I guess it is to look at follicles and lining. then I have progesterone blood tests on days 21,28&35 to tell them if I ovulate then I guess they call me or my doctor to say if it worked and what dosage to take next cycle. if nothing happens this month next month I go up to 100mg a day. I have no idea why I only got 5 pills lol surely it would have been better to give me a couple of months worth? oh well

krunchie- yes I have re-tested a few times and am still pregnant it seems. Mostly with digitals, and I took one internet cheapie last night and there was a strong line.
elle - with everything!
joy - glad to hear everything is going well with you!
AFM I have a doctor's appointment on Friday. I think because of my previous ectopic my doctor thought it would be a good idea to see me early. Do you think he will do an u/s? I sure hope so, would be nice to have some reassurance that everything is where is should be.
everybody~!

krunchie- I am not doing OPKs this cycle because there is no guarantee I will even ovulate on the Clomid. I am going to just have my blood tests and a scan on CD18 hopefully that'll shed a little light on the situation. If the Clomid is working I will do OPKs next cycle.
jacksonwest - glad to hear the bean is still sticking nicely they might do a scan it makes good sense, good luck!
afm, second day on Clomid and so far no side effects. No idea when they're supposed to start though! I got a letter from the hospital to say I have a scan on the 5th of September but it doesn't actually say what it's for I will be CD18 then maybe they'll be looking for follicles/signs of ovulation and over-stimulation??

Hehe, hi Krunchie
I've been following everybody! Promise hoping you hear good news about your transfer!
elle - hoping you don't start experiencing any side effects! crossing my fingers that everything works as planned
yay jackson!!!!
Joy - nice to see your name back here
AFM, I am on CD 12, and I've started my OPKS and am still temping. Just waiting to ovulate. Not too much else going on!
Happy Tuesday!

Hi Guys,
Lisa, so glad the Clomid prescription was ready fo this cycle, hun will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.xxx
Krunchie, Glad you are starting to feel better hun
Joy, glad the wedding went well.xx Wow 25 weeks already where is the time going, little bean will be here before you know it.xxx
Jacksonwest, sending you lots of hun.xxx
AFM, well that was a much needed break from every day life, only 4 days, but wow I didn't realise how much I needed it. Dad is still quite poorly, but everyone from Mcmillan nurses to consultants are being absolutely amazing and supporting him above and beyond, we are all very grateful. Dad was relatively upbeat for the first few days, but the last 2 days you could see he was starting to struggle. Thankfully we got the call whilst we were there and he finally goes in to have the 2 tumours removed on the 3rd September, we are all so relieved and Dad thinks he will feel much better once he knows the bulk of the cancer has been removed, he will never be cancer free, but at least they are confident they control it with hormones, which means we have him around for a lot longer!!!!!
I haven't tested since Friday morning, but I will be testing first thing tomorrow morning, I feel like I just might be, but I have been in this situation before and nothing but a at the end of it, but who knows maybe it is my time or may be I am just going insane!!!!
Speak soon
