    So Georgia have you seen a fertility specialist yet? 

    I have my next appointment in 2 weeks so going to start getting a bit more pushy now - iv been seeing the dr there for 6 months and still nothing. 

    My period after my HSG was pretty bad too although the one on Clomid I ended up in hospital as it was so painful I passed out at one point! The HSG wasn’t my fav thing in the world but it didn’t hurt as much as I was expecting.

    my tubes are clear but I’m worried I have endometriosis around my ovaries or something because my periods give me so much pain. 

    MrsBee that makes sense about testing. What cycle day are you due? 

  • Options

    My HSG was horrible! Had really bad pains for the Rest of the day, but and afterwards was fine.

    Mum due cd29 if I have a 14 day lutual. But I am getting af like cramps now. Feels weird but I have no ideas what my normal is because of the wonders of pcos so taking each day as it comes! I have to say dh has a lot more hope than I do right now.

    How are you all? 

    Anybody got any good newscast to report?? Same old here, finished round 2 of Clomid - side effects weren’t as bad thank goodness! 

  • Options

    Ah I’m glad they were less This time for you!

    I have nothing to report other than the most painful cramps I’ve ever had in my life (not to be dramatic or anything!). 

    Cd 28 today so due today or tomorrow and think af is well and truly on her way. But trying to think positive and think that chlomid can restart!

    MrsBeeL  I feel for you!! My AF cramps this month were like nothing I had ever had before. My boobs went huge too - it was odd.

    But you know what they say, your not out until she shows!!!

  • Options

    Cramps have lessoned now :)

    and.... Well I’ve had a tiny bit of spotting, but nothing like normal and certainly not normal colour. So onto google I go... in 13dpo today. you can implant 10/11 days po. If you implant high it can take a couple of days for any ib to come through. 10/11dpo was when cramps started.

    Am I crazy to think there’s still a chance? I guess I’ll find out tomorrow if af arrives!

  • Options

    Oooo I meant you can plant up to 12 dpo not 10/11

  • Options

    Tomorrow will be the tester really. I spotted before I came on - but really only when I went to the toilet. I thought the exact same but then next day AF arrived. Hope it’s different for you though!!!! 

    To be honest I just know when I’m going to get AF so although we were trying to be positive I knew it wasn’t my month. 

    Im feeling hopeful for you!!! 

  • Options

    Yeah I think I’m out... have been saying that to dh for the past 3 days... so don’t know why I’m saying all this! Ever hopeful i Guess....

    As expected. Cd1.

    :( hope to you arent  too down! I only cried for about 2 hours when AF showed! 

    get ready to take that Clomid again tomorrow though..onwards and upwards!

    Sorry to hear that Mrs BeeL keep positive ready for cycle two. I'm still in limbo but I've called and left a message for the hospital to call me back. It's really got me down I wouldn't have minded AF but nothing at all has really bothered me hence me being quiet on here I've spent most of the weekend crying 

  • Options

    Onwards and upwards! I did Have a little cry but decided the due date from this cycle would be better for us than the last!

    ah Lise. I’m sorry you’re still in limbo. Really sucks. 

    EmyLou- what day are you on now?

  • Options

    MrsBeeL hope your not too disapointed! I know it’s rubbish but fingers crossed for next cycle. We will be on the two week wait together as I started my 3rd round today! 

    Sorry Lise hope you get some answers soon!

    I have been on nights all weekend so am super tired today which never helps with my emotions! 

  • Options

    Im cd9 today. We started the bd yesterday & are going to try every other day this month as every day last month didn’t work so maybe ‘saving it up’ may be more effective. Iv got my next appointment with our fertility dr on my next period due date - he can pick me up this time if im In there crying with AF!

    how is your period MrsBeeL? Mine ended up being very short but very painful.

    Lise, I don’t know what to say. I’m just sending you bags of sympathy! And honestly, If I were you, I would have started on Clomid round 2 by now so you are more patient and a stronger person than me - im sure it will pay off!! 

  • Options

    Ah Georgia I’m glad I will have company. 

    Good luck with it EmyLou-every other day is supposed to improve sperm quality anyway so will be good!

    period is awful. Honestly I don’t usually have cramps but this is nasty! I keep saying my uterus hates me!!! Hoping tomorrow I wake up to less pain!

    think I’m going to take Chlomid in the evenings again as I had no side affects apart from a little nausea in the morning.

    Hi ladies still no real update from me. I rang the hospital though and consultant has asked that I take provera for ten days to bring on a cycle the on days 2-6 take 100mg of clomid as my second round. Really praying the provera will work and the clomid at the stronger dose. It's really got me down this last week so feels like progress.  Thanks for the support ladies. 

    Mrs BeeL hope your period has eased a bit.

    GeorgiaM/EmyLou have you done 100mg this round?

  • Options

    Yes I’m on 100mg will be 3rd day of clomid tomorrow. Don’t feel to bad apart from didn’t sleep last night but I’m not sure if that’s the clomid or the fact I had just come off nights.

  • Options

    Thanks Georgia I'm really excited to get started again. If you don't mind me asking were you upped to 100mg because you didn't respond to 50mg? 

  • Options

    Hi all. 

    Lise im really glad you’ve got some movement at least! did af come quite quickly for you last time you took provera?

    gerogia - thinking of it I don’t think I slept hat well on chlomid but think I was just overthinking rather than it being an actual side affect! I’m on 50mg again so pleased about that. 

    cramps eased around lunch time today. Urf glad that’s over! Do I dare hope that could be the last visit from af for the best part of a year?!?!!!

    fx for you all - really do hope us 4 get some bfps!!!
