Maxim: i am sorry that you can't start with Clomid right away. But at least dh is willing to give more time for ttc. I hope it will happen for you soon!
Pbn: no side of af yet. But from what i research, you cannot really have a period when you haven't ovulated yet. And if there's any bleeding, it is the shredding from linings build-ups and technically not a period. So I am not sure what to expect to be honest.
Mummy: it is so scary. At these times, it makes us appreciate more and get closer to each other. Please be safe. Praying for you guys.

Oh Mummy! I'm so sorry! Praying for your town & all of those impacted by this horrific act!!! Absolute monsters!!! I will come back in a few to read all of the updates, but wanted to pop in briefly [emoji173]

Hey gals!
Mummy – you definitely put things into perspective – especially when such events hit so close to home! I have one brother in London, another in NYC and my family is in France – and seems like all these places are hot spots for terrorism – just shake in my boots every time I hear of any event – what a world we live in.
I can’t imagine the pain of those that lost a loved one- it’s beyond gruesome. Those beasts deserve to be wiped clean off the surface of the earth – they are just the most horrid things walking the planet – I just wish they would realise they bind communities closer not further, people are over this sh*t and are not tearing each other apart like they would want them to – and for what? For who?
Anyways – I just hope this madness will end sooner rather than later….
Hope you get a beautiful news soon to brighten your days!
Maxim – I’m sorry DH didn’t want to do the Clomid straight away – but from someone who has been through fertility treatments, trust me he does have a point – if you can afford waiting a few more months, it is worth saving yourself from the treatments if you can: they are not fun (oh the painful bloating!oh the pelvic ultrasounds! oh the extra bloodworks!) so if there is no proven fertility issue, I would agree giving yourselves a bit more time to conceive without would be the way to go (yes, am trying to down play it for you to make it easier for you to accept waiting) – but are you getting the progesterone levels tested though? That would be, in my view, the main thing to get you and keep you preggers :D
Positive is hubby in on board for more trying – that in itself is very encouraging, less time pressure too! I keep everything crossed that you will get a beautiful BFP asap and you won’t have to even think about medicated cycles ^^
GL for the hysterosalpingogram – hope all those tubes are perfect and in any event, yes, the flushing of the tubes is beneficial! Did they tell you not to TTC this cycle though? This is what I was told when I did it when TTC#1 but I think that can be an overly cautious thing and did try anyways (didn’t get pregnant but I did fall about 3-4 months later ^^). Keep us posted!
Kat – well done you – woohoo!!! Welcome to the TWW missy! :D
Sky – where are you??? ^^
Shinay – it’s a pain when a cycle drags on like that – it could be that your body tried to O but just didn’t get there – hence the almost there spikes in LH and temp – you could try things to help induce a period, which would kick start a new cycle that stands a chance of being ovulatory. Have you got a good GP? If so he/she could give you some progesterone to take for a few days (up to 10) then when you stop, the deprivation of prog will usually induce AF.
Or have you researched natural ways to help it along?
The fact this wa your first month TTC, along with the move, has probably put enough stress on you to get the cycle going wacko – so am sure you will be on track asap.
*Big hugs*
Lola – tick tock tick tock, won’t be that long now until you start poas!! Looking forward to seeing confo that O was CD15 :D
Dreaming - I hope the sickness eases for you -it's pretty horrid :(
Pbn – didn’t even bother testing this am – really no point :( - I know how my body goes, and as I said last cycle was the same, very slight spotting Af pains, and then Af a couple of days later. I’m pretty sure this is what will happen this time too.
As for next cycle, I have been giving it some thought too – I tried not to impose any BD on DH and it was all initiated by him (nothing turns him off more than having to deliver at X time when ttc so I don’t tell him it is time as such) - I doubt we can maintain a eod regimen before O as I don’t want him to run out of steam lol – but will aim to do e3d on average then 3 attempts at pos opk – the difficulty with me being that my O day seems to change every cycle so hard to predict, especially with a fast surge so it’s sheer luck I even did an opk on cd10 (only because of the ewcm I had – which I actually only had on cd 10).
I will start opks earlier this cycle so I have a better chance to see things coming (and then you can be sure I will O on cd20 like I do at times! Murphy’s law).
You ladies promise you’ll come and stay on the June thread? :D
Ok better run – have a lovely night/day!

LMSM, nooo my OB actually told me he thinks it will help me get pregnant this cycle. But I've heard mixed things so I don't know how to gauge which way it will affect me. Wonder why they told you not to try after having it done???

LMSM: Hug hug, thanks dear. Since we just started our ttc journey, i doubt they will give me any medicine hahaha. They said we need to ttc for at least 1 year before they look into it. Anyway, i am doing some research on natural ways to help induce the bleeding. At least, my body could get rid of the old linings that has been build up for a while now so we can continue.

Hi ladies. I m sorry for not Been able to come say hello. My dd hasbn throwing the strangest fit today and I m just so overwhelmed. [emoji52][emoji52][emoji52]
She is just doing the opposite of her usual self. We were out for a class and she just won't listen and move from there. Everyone tried but boy is she strong willed ..[emoji30][emoji30]
I somehow brought her home and not saying her anything. Hoping she takes a nap and forgets it once awake. I will come bk and read soon. Vent over. [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

Max – if your OB is fine, then all good!
As I said I think they were being overly cautious ( back then I was seeing a Napro middie/nurse and Dr) , and I did TTC anyways lol it helps flush out any adhesions there may be, so it can only be a plus for that egg to make its way down the tube and down into the womb when it’s met the spermie of its’ dreams :D
It can be a bit painful so maybe take some paracetamol prior and after just to be on the safe side, plus make sure you have a pad with you – the dye can leak a bit after and you can have some minor bleeding. I had a very painful hsg (but but but - only because my uterus is retroversed and my tubes up high it was hard for the technician to reach/see it all and she had to use a balloon to inflate my womb to get through the passage) but as soon as it was over the pain was gone and only got minor AF type cramps that day and that was it… most people don’t even find it painful at all (so pleeease don’t freak out!) but thought I’d tell you re the paracetamol in case no one had mentioned it to you ;) FX FX FX
Shinay – in this case it wouldn’t be a fertility treatment just a way to get AF coming and cycles kicking into gear again so if your cycle went on and on, then it would be worth still asking ;) having said that, since you had cycles until recently, this is likely just a small glitch stemming from stress of TTC and moving –
Sky - I can sooo sympathise, I have the strongest willed girls alive seriously (everyone says to me ”you sure have some determined little girls” – are you trying to tell me they are f*ing stubborn? If so, yes, I know lol) – hope the day ended more peacefully for ya!

Ughh-I had a freak out moment earlier tonight. DS1 & DS2 were playing right next to me. Somehow DS2 got hold of a nickel & put it in his mouth...and started choking on it. He was gagging, but not making any sound. I turned him upside down & pushed his belly/pat his back until he threw it up. Geez that scared this momma!!!
Max-I certainly understand the disappointment!! I thought I was going to get my hands on Clomid & it would be the magic pill. It starts to get exhausting starting all over again each month. I have feeling you will relax more knowing that DH is on board & won't have it in the back of your mind that it's your last chance! Thinking positive vibes for you this upcoming cycle!
Pbn-I know-the visual makes it real...love to see those crosshairs-hope I'm on that path tomorrow! When is your appt?? I was thinking Fri for some reason.
Mummy-we'd all love for you to cave & POAS lol. Fx for a BFP...you definitely could use some good news with all that's going on!!
Ash-boo for feeling so crappy, but a good sign as you know. Still counting down & almost your appt day yippee!
Dreaming-sorry for the awful MS, not looking forward to those days! You will be past it before you know it & excited about planning for your sweet bundle!
Sky-sorry for the stress with DD. I think kiddos are often stubborn as way of feeling in control. I have a double whammy with 2 strong-willed boys. DS1 wants to do everything himself...so hard when trying to be on time haha. It's a phase I'm sure & as they get older...there will be new reasons to overwhelmed...can't even think about when they start driving ackk!
LMSM-sounds like you have a good plan in place for next cycle. Are you still only spotting? Hope you're not out! Hang in there [emoji173]
Kat-excited to hear that you got that 3rd attempt. Can't wait for us to test together soon yayyy!
