Nicolette - my husband told me the same thing, he says I can go first thing Saturday morning. My gynae advised that I should stop eating by 9pm and then be at Pathcare the next day by 8am. I just want to do this right the first time as I'm not a fan of needles.

I've taken two preg tests, 1 week apart about 3 weeks ago and they were both negative. the first day of my last AF was 4th July, I had my gynae app on 2nd July and the scan showed a swollen ovary on the right side, not PCOS, just a swollen ovary. when googling "swollen ovary" everything that pops up is PCOS! Anyhoo, trying my best to lose weight and be healthy to try and aid ttc.

I don't know if I told you ladies, that there are 9 pregnant women at our company at the moment...NINE!!!! :ohmy:

Gain-a-Baby: with all the fertility related blood tests I've had, I've NEVER had to fast for any of them. Are you sure you're not pregnant?
Juno: I didn't have as bad side effects as I was expecting. Everything was just a little bit worse. I was a little "aggressive" and less tolerant and irritable. Ovulation was a little more painful, my PMS symptoms were a bit worse. I can't really comment on hot flushes because I am usually too hot! I will let you know what the double dose does - when I start with it.
A very close friend of mine has just found out she's pregnant. I'm very happy for her - but I can't say I'm not jealous. They tried for 2 months. Another friend tried for one month! Lucky girls!!

Hi all
Welcome back to TTC TaNasha.

Hi Sterretjie, thanks. hope all is well.

Juno the side effects I had on Clomid/Fertomid - hot flushes and headaches. My lining was also very thin on it. I stimmed much better on Femara.
Good luck - wow BD'ing form cd7. I hope to start tonight.

Gain-a-Baby - fasting is only required on some blood tests. They aren't usually required for fertility hormone blood tests. You don't need to fast before pregnancy bloods or pregesterone, or CD3 bloods (FSH etc) - good luck.

I have had an elevated temp the lst 3 days, I hope it drops again, there is no way I could have O'd cd 8. EWCM started yesterday and some more today.

Sticky baby dust everyone

Hi Ladies,

Welcome TaNasha :)

It seems everyone's just going with the motions and doing what "should be done" - lets hope we have BFP'S for September :)

AFM: STILL NO AF!!! :headbang: I feel it though, tummy is a little heavier, niggly pains around my uterus, bad break out on my face....just wish she would come already!!!

Does anyone have info on getting blood tests done as far as how long in advance I should stop eating before I go to Pathcare?

:side: wait and see....

Nicolette, as a matter of interest what side effects can one expect on Clomid? I’m probably going to be starting next month but am very worried about the side effects..

Welcome TaNasha. Hope it happens quickly for you!

Carmen holding thumbs - see we are very close again (I'm CD 12 today). Thinking of you..

My cycle has been 25/24/24 days respectively for the last 3 months so I’m working O out accordingly - I’m also not doing OPKs this month. So I’ve been BD’ing since CD7.

Hi everyone, I am new here. TTC our 2nd. I had my Mirena removed a few weeks ago, so I have no idea where I am in my cycle, so for now just waiting- but I am actually hoping to just not get AF and get pregnant immediately :-)
