I’m currently in the dreaded two week wait, of my first proper cycle following the Ectopic pregnancy. I’m not quite sure how I feel about that. I mean, a part of me a huge part of me really hopes we’ve been lucky enough to fall pregnant right away, but then there’s a part of me that’s scared to get pregnant so… Read More
Clomid cycle #5
CD21, 6dpo which means I am in the two week wait again. As always I’m desperately trying not to symptom spot, not that there’s many to spot anyway, and trying not to read anything into my temperatures. This is my second cycle charting my BBT (basal body temperature) each morning, using Fertility Friend, and I have to say I’m a… Read More

We saw the fertility specialist again on Thursday.

Another surprise as we entered the consulting room was… Read More

But what is it about 8 dpo that turns me in to a woman possessed?! I… Read More
Merry Christmas
I received 3 “presents” in the post yesterday, the first a card from Cow & Gate that we can record our baby’s first giggle on to, and the second an anti colic baby bottle from Phillips Avent. Just what I needed, more reminders that we won’t be bringing our baby home in 3 weeks time. I guess in my excitement… Read More
The big O
No, not THE big “O” you’re all probably thinking about!! I’m talking about “O” for ovulation… I got a smiley face on a CB digi this evening, which means the Clomid is working and I’m 8 days ahead of where I would be normally, yay!! Only trouble is, I’m suffering one of the side effects of taking Clomid, a distinct… Read More
