Day 13 of cycle

How am I feeling?!!!! Mostly a little mad, very hormonal!! Up and down all over the place, like a roller coaster of a ride. I have had some more pains over the past few days, like period pains. Not sure if that is my ovaries trying to work or just all in my head!!!! I have my fingers crossed for a positive result by Christmas, but I almost don't want to hope for it In case I am disappointed again. I will have to just wait and see I guess!

Day 8

I had for some reason thought that it had been a couple of days since I last posted but actually it was yesterday!!

Feeling a little better today, just very cold! The weather is totally mad at the moment, especially the fog, enough to make anyone feel a bit miserable!

Now it is time to get busy, and hope that the clomid has worked! We are getting into an every other day routine!!

Day 7

I am feeling a little low at the moment. We went to a wedding reception at the weekend and met up with some of my husbands friends. One of them was pregnant, I had not even thought for a minute someone there would be pregnant. I should have prepared myself for the possibility. It hit me like a smack in the face followed by a punch in the stomach. It was really hard to sit there and smile while all I wanted to do was go home and cry! I find it really hard to be around pregnant people especially around this time of year.

I have been getting some side effects from the clomid I think, or from being miserable!! I have been getting a lot of stomach cramps that feel like period pains. I have also being feeling very emotional, with mad mood swings. I don't care so long as it works.

Day 5 of cycle Day 4 of clomid

I am feeling slightly more optimistic about things today. My side effects this time are more then on the lower dose cycle. I have got loads more spots then normal and am getting more stomach cramps this time around.

When you read the side effects of the Clomid, it is debatable which side effects are from the medication and which are from being infertile, for example 'depression'.

Only one more day of taking the clomid! I have managed to take them all at either 8am or 8.30am so am quite glad I managed that. Now all I have to do is remember to take my medformin twice a day and m friend folic acid, I have lost count of the amount of bottles I have been through!

Day 2 of cycle -day 1 of clomid 100

Here goes everything! I have taken the first dose. I decided that this time around I would take the pills at the same time every day, I don't know if it makes much of a difference. Just thought it was worth a try. Normally because I work shifts I take them anytime between 5.45am and 8.30am. So this time I am going to try taking them at 8am every morning, which will mean that I need to remember to take them at work, but I thing I can do it, it is only for a few days, I can remember!! I hope!

Actually today is day 1!

Got a bit ahead of myself yesterday, I had thought that since the brown discharge had increased that my period was starting, but it did not actually start properly until 4am this morning. Still felt rough yesterday, not sure if it is a bug, or just the result of hormones, but I was really sick last night a couple of times, I had to come home from work early. I am feeling a little better today but very tired.

Clomid starts tomorrow!

Finally started my cycle! Day 1

I finally started my period properly today 10 days after completing the 5 day cycle of Norethisterone. I should have known it would start today, I had a few days holiday from work last week and in my mind had thought that would be a good time for my period to start, whilst I had time to be in pain and spend the first day of my period with a hot water bottle on my tummy! So it was obvious really that it had to start today when I am back at work and on a late shift, so I start work at lunch time and get home about 9.30pm. AHHHHHHHHH!!! It is not too bad at the moment apart from a big headache.

Tomorrow I start on the Clomid, I am crossing everything that is possible to cross in the hope it will work. I have a funny feeling I will be pregnant by Christmas, but I don't know!

Waiting for the big blob!

Still waiting for my period to start! I finished the tablets 8 days ago, it looks as though my period will start soon but find it very slow starting with the medication. I am sure my body is wising up to the drugs because the first medication induced period only took four days to start, each time I take the tablets it seems to take longer and longer for my period to start.

Piddled off by Christmas starting so early each year, roll on January!!!

Day 5 of Norethisterone

I had now completed the five day course of tablets, which is good. I am starting to get symptoms from it though, either that or symptoms of recovery from jet lag! I am becoming really emotional for no real reason, really randomly, but I think I can stay on top of it! I think I may possibly be one of a very small amount of women who actually look forward to thier period. Obviously as soon as it comes, with the pain etc I will wish it away! But after that it is all systems go!

Day 2 of Norethisterone

Well I am not sure that I am having any symptoms from this new drug, since I am so tired! I went back to work today on an early shift so had to get up at 5.45am, not good when you still have jet lag! Anyway no strange side effects yet!
