Trying for a Baby part 5....

gizmodo_2

Thanks Lemontree, quaver and perdi. I don't feel quite so alone now.

Kairi, now that it's real it could just be jitters. It scares me sometimes, but that disappointment of not being PG every month makes me know that I want a baby more than anything now.

Hello. I've posted here a couple of times but we are now "officially" trying for a baby. I will be prescribed clomid once I have a few tests done as I am not ovulating by myself. So I was wondering if anyone could tell me what is awaiting for me in terms of side effects for clomid?
Also, I have wanted children for as long as I have known but now that we really are doing something about it, it's scaring me so much I am thinking maybe I am not ready? Maybe I don't want to give up my freedom and lose a lot of our income ? Does anyone else feel that way or am I perhaps changing my mind?

Hi Kairi...great you're officially trying. I don't know anything about Clomid but I think it's totally normal to be nervous/excited/scared about starting a family...it's mega life changing after all. Sometimes I worry about it and about pregnancy and birth and money and what if I can't conceive or worst what if I'm a terrible mum. But, most of the time, I know that a little happy family of my own is what I want more than anything.

I am hoping they are just jitters Gizmodo and Claire.
I have another question. Is there a list of all the abbrevations that are used in this forum as I am struggling to understand what people are saying?

There's a link with abbreviations on the first page.

The most common ones are:

OV - ovulation
SS - symptom spotting
DTD - do the dance/deed (making babies)
AF - Aunt Flo (period)
CBFM - Clearblue fertility monitor
Temp - temperature (BBT)
SBDTA - Sticky baby dust to all

I've never tried Clomid, but people here may know more about it:

I've just had a trawl through the FF chart gallery and the majority of people are high CD11 (with and without recent mc). Trust the lovely monitor . How many high days have you had now? When do you think OV should be due? Have you stopped spotting?

Days 6,7,8,9,10,11...no idea.....not really.?!

GFH - Wow another high! Is that you're 6th? I wouldn't be worried. Just go with the flow. Is DH feeling better? Any chance of some BD action?

Yes, the 6th, he is better...

Go on the NCT/RELATE websites and get a book called babyshock.

Then decide!
