    Thursday morning, really nervous :s x

    And I forgot bigZ, how could I! BigZ will have like triplets by this time next year

    Just as I was about to get huffy :naughty:;)

    Triplets might be a bit greedy... 1 or 2 at a time would be just perfect :D


    Becca, yes clomid causes headaches. My side effects seem to be getting cumulative so I'm in migraine territory now after 5 cycles of it :cool: Be aware that clomid messes with cbfm/opks, so don't rely on them while you're on it. Btw, I also don't understand the warnings about cm drying up on it, as my understand is that it essentially makes you produce more estrogen (and therefore more cm) and then lh... In any case, I haven't found it to be an issue on my clomid cycles ;) good luck

    I'm gonna stick a wonky pin in it and say 4dpo when you do the list tomorrow (tues), please :) No idea how accurate it is, but I do know I'm in the 2ww and I was sick of showing as "awaiting ov" ;)


    Thoughts are with you tcd :cool:

    Ladies can I have a bit of advice please?

    I have my scan this morning but can't decide what to wear. Dress (with tights cos it's freezing), skirt and top (again with tights) or jeans and a top? Someone at work told me that they made her undress completely and wear a hospital gown in which case it wouldn't matter anyway, but I'm not sure if that's what always happens?

    Oh Becca can I please guess 7 BFPs for March. Unfortunately as I can't seem to lay an egg I doubt one of them will be for me this month!

    If it's an internal scan then I'd go for a skirt so you can just whip your tights and underwear off, angel. I'd take a spare pair of underwear too so you can go remove the excess lube (they tend to use a lot) in the bathroom, after hastily getting dressed again in their room and put fresh on before putting your tights back on.

    Eta: I've never put a gown on for just a scan, and I've had a fair few now, but could be dependant on your clinic(s).

    Goodness, what a shock TCD. :( I agree with the others, first move is to step away from Google! Hope you get to see a consultant sooner rather than later to discuss options. Sending hugs.

    Welcome MrsBunny! :wave: Hope your stay is short. :)

    Wahay for moving into the 2ww BZ! :) Hope it's your last one and you get a belly full of babies! :)

    Angel, if you know it's going to be a dildocam you may feel more covered/comfortable with a dress or tunic on. Like BZ says, take spare undies to change into afterwards. :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    That's a great help BZ, thanks a lot x

    If I wasn't already going for a scan today I think I'd be taking myself off to A&E, the pain is getting really bad and starting to throb. I'm hoping they'll find nothing and it'll turn out to be IBS or something.

    Kelly - good luck to your OH for starting his own business! Mine sways from thinking about doing that, but anything he wants to do would need a lot of money ploughing into it so if it fails we'd be up the creek. Hope all goes well though!!

    Vic3 - thanks for the advice, I am on the B6 from this morning! Might try EPO as well though if you reckon it gave you 2 more days? It might just be a blip ...... and it might just be the monitor getting used to me ....... but at the same time I still have a sneaking suspicion that perhaps this is our problem ..... Humph.

    TCD - Sorry to hear your news, it does all sound like a bit of a nighmare, but there are always positive stories around, and like someone else said, people only post on the internet when they have negative stories to tell!!! I think you need to make a nuisance of yourself with the consultants secretary! Hugs xx

    TeamLowe - Good Luck for Thursday!!!

    Gelly & Lilian77 - Hugs for the BFN, its not over yet tho until AF arrives?

    Welcome to Mrs Bunny! Hope your stay is short x

    AFM, back to a high on the CBFM after 2 peak days. On the vitamin B6 this morning will see if that does anything to lengthen my luteal phase. Told OH about my fears last night - think he got it but at the same time still thinks I'm being a mad old cow!!! Ah well the B6 can't do any harm.

    I've always had to strip right off and put on a gown for internal scans, must be an individual clinic thing. Hope it goes well for you.

    Hope everyone is good-we have a fairly sunny day today which is good :)

    genuinely posted the second comment in a blind panic once i'd realised i'd left you out! never want to upset BigZ, she's too lovely!

    yay for 2ww for you :) not sure what's going on with me, still EWCM but not as much as before, not going to worry about it and just BD every 2-3 days until it's definitely all dried up. just want this cycle to be a quick one for the clomid :)

    also tmi, but when i wiped before there was the biggest glob of snotty stuff i've ever seen! genuinely had to check with DH if we definitely hadn't done anything last night. which led to a discussion of the fact that for some odd reason he woke up last night and patted my pubic mound and said 'see, i can touch your front bottom' then rolled over and when back to sleep. the man is mental :rotfl:

    angeltreats hope today goes well and you get some answers. i've only ever had to put on a hospital gown once for a HyCoSy, maybe your friend had that? for internal scans i wear a dress over pants and just whip the pants off. usually before they have chance to leave the room as i have no shame lol
    Also, a friend of mine once had a cyst pop and ended up in a&e cos of the pain but she got pregnant first month so don't worry too much if it is a cyst, apparently they pop up from time to time

    Welcome MrsBunny, hope your stay is short and sweet.

    Budget Council tonight, which means i'll be working til at least ten. joy of joys x

    Hugs to all those who need them

    If I was still on the pill I would be one day away from AF, wondering if it will come as per the normal schedule or a lot later...want to start my cbfm but think ,aye should wait for at least 2 periods off the pill

    Want to be able to join you all on the lists :-)

    Have a good day everyone x
