Finally, after 58 days AF appears to have arrived! woohoooo!!!! I took the provera for 7 days and then it took another 7 days. So hopefully I begin my very first cycle with clomid tomorrow, fingers crossed!

Hi all, count me in! We are looking at ttc #2 in the next few months. I was diagnosed with PCOS 2 years ago. Cycle length anywhere from 6-18 months. After ttc for 4 years, we managed to fall pregnant naturally with DD1 (total fluke). Had tried 5 rounds of clomid previously but never ovulated.

Looking forward to hearing other peoples' journeys during this difficult and emotionally-challenging time.

Good luck purple - fingers crossed for you!

YAY for AF arriving LOL purple! 58 days that is annoying. Hopefully this cycle will be shorter....and also you won't get another AF cause this will be your lucky month. FX lots of baby dust your way gasp)

Same same here...just awaiting for ovulation to come. No signs of anything yet. CM is completely MIA so i hope this is not a bad thing and mean this month is a write off...will wait and see i guess

Hi girls,

Thats great purple! fingers crossed for this cycle!!
Welcome mumtobec, hope you get your BFP soon!
I know the feeling jdmum, i was waiting all last weekend hoping and hoping for ovulation to come but no luck but would you believe i think i may have O'd like tues or wed and my DF was away at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I took the ov test and two lines came up and i was getting pains and cm and he wasnt around to take advantage of this. This is one of the rare rimes that i have actually 'felt' myself ovulating and im hoping it might be a positive sign because by my records its a lot earlier in the cycle then what i usually guess it as being. So hopefully the vitex maye starting to regulate my cycles!!
Soo i think i have missed it this cycle, but will keep trying just in case.
Fingers crossed for all of you!
Baby dust to us all!
Kylie

ok girls im back.... hopefully i can keep up with this thread. I have over 200 emails to catch up on from other threads.
I finally got my af after months of it not being here (feb) I have been doing my temps, maybe baby and now have the ebay ov tests. All which is showing that im not ovulating.
My poor hubby last week, as i thought i was in middle of cycle (for someone on an average cycle) I would bd every night or at least every 2nd night.... only to find out Im not ov yet.
When should i see a gyno, i would really love to start either provera or clomid asap..... I concieved my last baby in 2wks of trying. This time we havent used contraception for last 12months but technically been TTC from start of year, and yet nothing happening

Ok so i just thought i would drop in. I have just had a big cry and feeling really down. This is my first cycle of taking my temps and towards end of AF they were quite low then round CD 8 they spiked. Fertility friend says that it shows i ovulated around CD8-CD11. I have been awaiting for ovulation to hit so when i read this today i stressed out. We only BD once round that time and i didn't focus on staying in bed (sorry TMI coming) holding the sperm in etc etc. As i would have never thought i would ovulate this early. there were absolutely no other signs of ovulation. So now i am thinking that once again this is another month down the drain. Then to top it off a friend phoned just before to tell me she fell pregnant first time trying so here i am crying again. Why does it have to be so hard!!!

Sorry needed to vent gasp(

hey darl, just curious, do you have varying cycle lengths.. including some short cycles? and have your temps remained elevated since they went up?


and dont stress too much about not holding it in etc. the one that got me pregnant was a quickie while the kids were having tea!!! so all my efforts to retain as much as possible, werent needed in the end!

The shortest cycle has ever been is 30 days. Temps have stayed fairly up just been consistent. Will try post my graph tomo. Trying not to stress over it but I just dontknow how many more bfn I can see anymore. Sorry for being so negative just having a really bad day

ok i wouldnt think a LP could be that long... keep an eye on temps, if it wasnt a huge rise, then there is a chance you still havent ov'd. just make sure you dont forget to BD, cause if you have had a smaller rise, then there is a possibility that you could have had cooling hormones in the first week of cycle. LP is rarely longer than 16days. just keep watching and see what happens with it... good luck!!!

and believe me, i know how you feel with the down days, and bfn's i went thru nearly 2 years of it, and looking back i have no idea how i did it!!

my usual temp shifts were about half a degree. hth!

Hello ladies!

I’ve been very busy making invites for my engagement party! Lol we got properly engaged in Feb but have been unofficially engaged for a few years but are only just getting our act together! I rang the gyno today to get an appointment as I still don’t have AF (day 49) with BFN’s but I can’t get in til 26th! I might give them a call next week and try to get in a bit earlier...

Purple: Yay for AF! I’m like you, I can’t wait til she gets here and get back in the game... Have you had any side effects from the Clomid? I didn’t notice any in my first cycle but have been VERY moody the other three!

Kylie: Sorry that you missed OV this month! Hopefully next month will get you BFP!!

JDmum: Don’t have any advice for you as I have never temped or used OV strips. Fingers crossed that FF got a bit confused and will apologise to you when you really do OV! (sorry, I’m in a strange mood!)

Amy: Hope that your scan went well! Did you get any pictures?

Hello to anyone I have missed and to all our inspiration stories ie: the preggy ladies!

Nix

I dunno what to do. I havent started on the clomid yet cos AF hasnt shown up properly. I have had what I think may be a very light/slow bleed for the past 3 days, but im really stuck between knowing if it is AF or just spotting. It seems alot more different to my usual spotting though, even though there is only a small amount and it is very dark, brownish and blackish in colour. I am spose to start clomid day 2, so now I am on to day 3 with this weird kind of bleeding and I am starting to worry that AF wont come properly. What would you ladies do if you were in this situation? Do you think I should start the clomid, or keep waiting and possibly miss AF altogether if it stays light. Arrrgghhhh, why cant it be more simple?!
