    Sorry, I have loads of questions today!

    At my last appt the consultant said the plan was for clomid, so long as the SA results come back ok (that's next week). But now I know I'm ovulating, albeit irregularly, will that actually help? My cycles are still long-ish, but more like 35-40 days now, rather than the 60+ that they have been previously.

    I think I'm over-thinking today and should just go with what the drs are telling me to do lol. I just feel like we're wasting time that we don't have to spare. We're already timing BD correctly around ov and nothing's happening, so is clomid going to help there?

    Glad you are doing OK Kitten, I'm sure there is nothing that will help your anxiety, other than when you hold baby in 3 months. It's totally understandable. x

    Stitches removed today. Bit uncomfortable when it was being done, but OK.

    Think it's time for me to leave this thread now. I will hang out on the 12m thread (technically I'm there a bit early). I don't think this is the right place for me any more.

    I know I will 'see' some of you there too as you are there already. To other ladies, I hope you never get there.

    I've learnt loads from this thread & hopefully helped some others along the way too. I wish everyone happiness & a life fulfilled.

    Abis that's great news for CD hu1 will be keeping my fingers crossed for your results tomorrow, your pma is great :-)
    Lilymay good to see you, glad the helpline was helpful and hopefully the new one will give you lovely positives when its supposed to, I wonder if it has been getting it wrong before?
    Teamlowe I'm so glad you're feeling better and I hope the hycosy goes really well and its only a matter of time for you. I remember getting stitches out and was a bit unpleasant so hope yours is better.
    Codemonkey that actually sounds really nice, I'm hoping to persuade dh for tonight but we shall see...
    Ttc40, I will be really sad to see you go, I have a read of the other thread and I miss all the ladies that have moved over there, I feel a bit in limbo as its been a year for us now but with the mcs I know I don't belong there. Insanely jealous sitting here and watching people get lucky first time. I really hope things work out for you soon

    All the best TTC40! Glad to hear the stitches have been taken out ok and hope the rest of the recovery goes well. You'll be missed on this thread!

    Hello everyone:wave:
    Work is stressful at the moment:( I'm trying not to think too deep so not to upset ov:o

    TeamLowe, that's an amazing amount of pee one needs to keep for CBFM trial:shocked: I don't think my fridge is big enough:p
    findingmyownway, welcome:wave:
    If you'd like to be on the first page, let me know your details and I'll pop you in:)
    As for low quality swimmers for once a week man, yes, it will be lower quality, but people are known to get pg with even a once a month man so don't worry:p
    mrsj28, I don't know when the egg collection will be, it all depends on how my eggs are cooking:o
    becca, how are your kidneys?:(
    claire16c, massive hugs for AF:(
    smiley_hug.gif
    kitten_pie, hi there:wave:
    I might get a mooncup for next month:cool:
    lilymay, how does the lines look on CBFM? did the pee end get strong yesterday & today?
    abis, Yay for AF!:j
    You are recovering!:T
    tea lover, FSs doesn't believe in cms so I think you need to get some OPKs:o
    Clomid are known to produce better eggs and stronger ov. It can make eggs more attractive to sperms:cool: Also, you may ov early, which is considered better quality eggs:)
    TTC40, see you over at the 12months+ thread:wave:
    Personally I prefer this thread:o

    TTC - I will miss your posts too, But best of luck for the future. Maybe a new thread will bring you some extra luck.

    Lemon - I also share your jealousy over people who get it 1st time, but I have learned that life isn't 'fair'. I keep telling myself that I would rather wait 6+ months and have a healthy pregnancy than get pg when my body isn't ready and have to go through another m/c, or worse a stillbirth.

    QQ - Nice to see you. My sticks were as follows; CD9 - 1 dark line on the 'missing corner' end. CD10 - 2 lines. The 'missing corner end' darker and the other end visible, but faint. CD11 - exactly the same as CD10. So all in all, not at all what a 'peak' day should look like. My 3 OPK's all have 2 lines, although the 'control' line is hardly visible in any of them.

    The test line was darker than the control line?
    That's a +OPK.

    Thank you for the eggy vibes:o

    As for relaxing, here's three of my relatives (all on my maternal side):

    My great grand parents couldn't conceive for years, so they adopted a child. Soon afterwards, they conceived three children, one after the other:D

    My aunt and uncle couldn't conceive for about 10 years, but when they finally gave up, and my aunt was in her late 30s, they conceived a daughter:cool:

    My mum mc'd her 2nd child, and afterwards couldn't conceive. Went to the doctor and got her tubes flushed (was blocked), but still nothing. Mum's sister lent her son for few days and he was a real handful. So my parents decided they don't want any more kids, then I came along straight afterwards:p

    I should just adopt or give up:cool:
