Hi Carrie, thanks for joining me!!! 21 months is a long time, it's really difficult insn't it?? It seems like we have been ttc for ages. We have a gorgeous 4 year old, so this is for number 2. Had a miscarriage at 8 weeks in 2006 then a non viable pregnancy in Oct 2007 with Edwards syndrome, went to 12 weeks. Also had a very early miscarriage in 2002 at about 5 weeks. Hoping this is your month. xx
CD1 Anyone care to join me for another rollercoaster ride???
April 29, 2008

Hi Jessica, glad you could join us!! I take tablet 1 of clomid tomorrow.....looking forward to the grumpiness, luckily dh is away next week so he will avoid it!!!
Glad you found the post Joanna. It could take a couple of months for your body to settle down after your miscarriage. I was advised to wait for 3 months and restock up on my folic acid. This ttc business can really get to you after a while. I promised myself that I would remain cool about it, but that is easier said than done. Looking forward to this month with several buddies to support and share information!!! xx

Hi!! I start clomid Friday....I, too, am not looking forward to starting the emotions again....sooo grumpy...
Joanna, I have had 3 early miscarriages. It makes me sick to see people who have easy healthy pregnancies and I feel guilty about that. Just remember that each experience makes you stronger. We are amazing women for going through what we have and still coming out on top....we continue to try knowing the possible consequence. With all of the technology...you will prevail. Other challenges in your life will look minimal because you know how to handle a challenge. Not all women can say that.

Jessica, we will have to come on here and vent our moodiness to each other rather than to our nearest and dearest...bless!!! How was your menses this cycle? Mine came with a vengeance, I usually have light bleeds and minimal cramping, but yesterday I had heavy bleeding, terrible cramps and an almighty headache. Today bleeding is minimal, but cramps are quite strong at times. It must be the clomid, my cycle has never been like this before. Have you had a similar experience? Are you taking your clomid on days 3-7? I am, last month I took them on days 2-6 and did not take them at the same time every day. I didn't realise that that was important. I shall rectify that this month.
How are things with you Carrie?

Suzi, my period last month on clomid was super light. I thought it would be worse because my lining was 11mm. This month was normal bleeding but the moooodiness was crazzzy. I am a teacher and I pity my students. I take clomid CD 4-8...are you doing a natural intercourse or IUI. Clomid makes me sooo dry.
Hi Jessica, I'm a bit confused now this month. I had a heavy bleed, well heavy for me anyway on Tuesday, then no bleeding yesterday, none today yet. I don't know whether to take today as day 3 and start clomid or not. I normally bleed for 3 days, do you think that I could have bled all in one day?? dh thinks I should count this as day 3 and start clomid. We are babydancing the usual way. Don't really want to go down the iui route. What age do you teach...pity those students!!!!!
Suzi I would count that as day 3. Last month I only bleed for 1 day and the RE confirmed that was ok. I wish I could do a natural cycle, too, but I guess I have to do what I have to do. It is going to be a stressful month because I will be worried about timing the whole time...
Yes!!! pre-seed....I tried it last month and loved BD with it. No babies but at least it helped with the dryness!!

The way that an IUI was explained to me was my DH has to give a sperm sample. Then they wash the sperm leaving only the fast, good ones. They put the sperm into a catheter and put the catheter inside the cervix....the shoot the sperm into me. It bypasses the mucus. They try to plan it so the sperm is waiting when I ovulate.....TO my understanding, it is a fairly painless and easy procedure.
Hi Suzi and everyone else!! I am on cycle day 7 and my third day of Clomid! This is my first cycle on Clomid. So far not a terrible shift in mood (or I'm really trying not to show a change in mood).
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a year now. I was fianlly diagnosed with PCOS in February and started Glucophage in April and started Clomid this cycle.
I'm really excited, but extremely nervous!! I am hoping and praying.... but don't want to get my hopes up!!!
