Hello ladies.

Nice work on the follies star. :j

Tinks - no experience of clomid but I have seen some of the other ladies on here have erratic cycles on it. I think that's normal.

Vesper and PM - can't believe the pair of you are still being mucked around.

Non TTC related, as everything in my life currently is (although on a ttc note, why am I getting much more noticeable ewcm now I know it's pointless even trying?)

Recovering from wisdom tooth extraction which is icky - was awake so heard all the horrible tooth being pulled from bone noises and DH has been doing Vito Corleone impressions all week "On this, the day of my daughters wedding".

Also looking for a dress to wear to a wedding which is complicated because
A) it is impossible to lose any weight on amitriptyline, so I look like a hippo.

and

b) I really don't want to go. The bride told me that she wanted to change everything about the groom and she was only with him because nobody else was interested in her. She's moved to be with him because he lives in New Zealand and on a fianc!e visa she isn't allowed to work, and no doubt as soon as they've been married long enough and she is allowed to work, she'll get pregnant so he has to support her and/or leave him for someone better.

We could and do, dtd for fun but no point crossing my fingers. We need sperm to make babies. DH doesn't even have one lone guy in there, and my name isn't Mary. :(

Hope they do something else for you PM. It sounds utterly horrendous x

Talking of weddings etc - I was at a club a couple of weeks ago and there were two divorce parties there....!

Code I really feel for you I wishi could do more than offer hugs.

I think all my fs will do without any funding is tell me to take more hormones.

All the best star for Monday. 22 follicles is a good number.

How many days did u stim?

Hugs code and PM.

Afm - still on 3rd day of stimming taking injections is becoming
Easier now. I don't have any side effects making me wonder if it is working or not. Can't wait for 18 march for my first scan to see if I have developed any follicles or not.

It's really ok. Most days I'm ok with it. I do have some angry, tantrumy it's not fair days but there's not much that can be done to change the situation.

Day three of stims here also LA.
I wouldn't Worry about symptoms certainly this early on, you will hopefully be pleasantly surprised at your scan at all the Activity going on inside.
Scan on Friday for me along with my first drip infusion so a bit apprehensive of that, first time I've been on this amount of stims, back in my first cycle (2003!!) I was only on 150/75 on alternate days now I'm on 300 with my old lady Ovaries!

Code I don't doubt you have your down days,you've coped so much better than I'm sure I would.
