It’s been a while since I wrote any blog posts. I have no excuses to give, other than I’ve been busy and a bit naff at managing my free time *hangs head in shame* However, we won’t dwell on my rubbish ability to keep my blog updated…. When I initially thought about this particular post I was on cycle day… Read More
Fed up!
As the title says I’m fed up. I’m several weeks in to taking Metformin and I’m not seeing any difference. I was lead to believe it would help with weight loss but for me I’ve just plateaued, when I was previously doing so well sans Metformin. All it seems to have done for me is give me nausea, and I… Read More
Follow up Consultant appointment
We had quite a good appointment but didn’t get the answer we’d hoped for or anticipated. Some good news – the Consultant performed an internal scan which showed everything was fine. He talked me through everything on the screen which was really helpful as although on previous scans I’ve been told, I’ve never actually been shown. I got to see… Read More
Waiting
Waiting, I’m always waiting. Waiting for AF, waiting for OV, waiting for a BFP… You’d think after 6 and 1/2 years I’d be used to waiting and have the patience of a saint, well I don’t.

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
The power of a smile
I’ve been told that my smile has the power to lift a person’s mood, and light up a room, which is truly a compliment. However, this is the smile that lifts my mood 😉
Back to basics
A side effect of taking Clomid is that it can thin your uterine lining, which in turn can hamper implantation of the embryo. Dr “James” our Consultant told me to go in for a scan, on a Thursday, between cycle days 10-16 to check the thickness of mine, this happened to be this week on CD 14. As soon as… Read More
CD 8 + smiley = WTF!!!
Well as the title says, I got a smiley on my digital OPK this morning, on cd 8!!! How is that possible?! I didn’t take my last clomid tablet until cd 6, and whether it was an effect of the clomid or the chemical pregnancy only finished AF yesterday so not had a chance to bd yet 🙁 I posted… Read More
