Af arrived here to Q. So I guess we're cycle buddies again!

Hi buddy!:beer:

Sorry AF showed up after all that QQ, and yours Sarah. Ah well, another month, another opportunity...

+++++++

I'm on CD17.

DTD CD8,10, 14, 16 and 17 and will DTD tomorrow then every other day until AF.

13 days until I test. I think I'm OV'ing today, had cramps last 48 hours and lots of EWCM today. I don't know though, because I'm operating independently of the CBFM - and it's something of a relief I must say. I don't completely trust the CBFM, and I think it adds to the stress that can make conception even harder. When it's hard already.

(Everyone always says 'oh it can be hard, it can take time etc', and while that's obviously my experience - and most of yours - in real life, everyone, but everyone*, I know actually only took about 1 or 2 months to conceive, honestly. Including several who are plenty fatter and older than I am. They would have no reason to lie, unless there's some kind of implausible infertility conspiracy going on.)

*That's a lie, I do know 3 rl people who have had to resort to IVF, but that's compared to many, many who have got pg without breaking a sweat.

I do too, perhaps that is what's supposed to happen. They do say they only do 3 clomid cycles, and if it doesn't work, 3 IUIs etc. So maybe it should work within 3 cycles. If it doesn't we probably have something wrong:(

After 3 Clomids, I'm onto my 2nd IUI by the way...:o

Sorry AF got you in the end VK. Turning into a disappointing month on this thread...there must be a surprise BFP in the offing (maybe me! Hah!)

+++++++

DTD today again - SWI ends now, but we will still DTD every other day just in case my ovaries are doing something sneaky, like pretending to ovulate moid-month, but holding onto the blighter until later in the month. Could happen.

I test in 12 days..

Fingers crossed:)

I got an appointment for HSG (checking the fallopian tubes to see if it is open or not) on Thursday!:j
It wasn't the doctor's idea, I just requested it and it went through:cool:

Now I'm worried about the result... What if it's blocked...

I am here. Had my first two injections. Ok, they are not too bad. I had a bit of trouble with the first one, as the sport were I was trying to inject was very painful as I was trying to push the needle in. I had to change injection point, and it was ok. So, 2 days done, probably another 30 to go! (and they are double for the last 10-12 days I am told)

So 1 injection/day and 2 injections/day for the last 10-12 days?
Where do you inject yourself?
Do you take any tablets etc?
Sorry for all the questions:o

Good luck:)

It is 1 injection a day until the scan (it will be 19 days in total). If all is ok during the scan, I start menopur, whilst continuing with buserelin, so it will be 2 injections a day, until I am told to stop. I will have day 9/10 scan, after which I will either be asked to come for another scan or be given date and time for EC. (The consultant mentioned day 7 scan as well, so I might have more than 1 scan for follicles). At this time I will be told when exactly I need to get my Gonasi (HCG) injection and 36 hours later will be the time for EC. After which, on the evening of the following day, I start pessaries. 2 a day, until the test.

There are no tablets, just injections and pessaries.
