Sorry Big Zippy and TeamLowe; I have broke your code. I was from PieEaterLand but now live in RedRoseLand.

TL, if it's the same hospital I'm thinking of then it is a specialist clinic so it will be good. Are you bothered about the distance?

Small world! It's whiston, Mrs Langdon I think she said, distance doesn't bother me too much, it just I work on the other side of Manchester so it'd mean that bit more time out of work to get to and from appointments. I had my HyCoSy there so I'm confident it's a good hospital so at least there's that. And it has a costa

Big Z no it was in Newton, bizarrely enough. My first gynae was at Leigh where the assisted conception unit is, but even though I went to a pie eater gp to ask for a gynae referral they sent me to a saints gynae. It was closer at the time as I lived close Newton but should've known them horrible saints would mess me around lol

Your doctor locations etc are confusing!

The first month, the clomid worked (I ovulated) and I got strong ov pain.
The second month, the clomid didn't work and I didn't get any pain
The third month the clomid worked,I didn't get any ov pain, but I fell pregnant.

So I don't think you can really tell too much from my experiences, but hope that helps

Similar story here.

Though I never get/got ovulation pain and clomid didn't do anything to my ovulation date - still CD17 or so on both cycles. It did, however, extend to LP to 13 days on the first cycle.

My progesterone results were 46 and 39.2. The second cycle was the one that worked.

Thank you ladies xx

Anyone see Torville & Dean interview yesterday (although I loathe Piers Morgan!!) ?

I didn't see it, was it good?

Oh it just had a bit in about torville trying ivf. It didn't work but she has now adopted two children and is very happy x

Well I just figure out that I am suffering from a clomid side effect after all! I feel so low and depressed. I've felt this way since Friday. Like I'm so tired and moody and just want to be on my own all the time.i usually (like us all) have my ups and downs with all this but it never lasts this long.

Yesterday I spent time with my mom and sister and they noticed I was quiet.

I am going on holiday on Thursday and instead of looking forward to it, I am dreading it. Just not like me at all.

Harrumph!!

CD35 - am expecting AF any minute now. Last couple of cycles have been 32ish days, but tbh even 35 is really early for me so I may have a while to wait yet.

Just want to get started again now. Was all pysched up for ICSI and have been feeling pretty down and useless since it was stopped halfway through. I've got loads going on at work and other things I need to plan and it's a nightmare not being able to fix a firm date for anything. At least if I got going again I'd know when the every other day scans were going to be.

Hope everyone's well. As you can tell, I'm just feeling sorry for myself as ever!

bigzippy

Hope you're feeling better now WTDN...?

Tea, what do you mean "as ever"?! Don't put yourself down for struggling with this whole infertility/ttc/ivf s**t storm - that way madness lies. Hope things resolve quickly.:cool: Is it worth skipping a cycle and doing ivf next cycle, rather than this one, so work is less of a pressure?


AFM, I had red streaked cm yesterday so I'm expecting AF tomorrow probably. Looks like I'll be taking every last one of those clomid tabs...:cool:

bigzippy

Yep, definitely cd1 :cool:

Now to decide whether to take my last course of clomid tomorrow and get it over with, or take a month off from it for a break from the side effects, and thereby prolonging the idea of doing "something" while waiting til the end of May to see the FS again...? :huh:

What do you guys think?
