First Fertomid Cycle, New Here

@ Anzelmama that was definitely the ov pains I hope you BD'ed and got the bean bag after that.

@ TCS84 am on CD50 and I have made an appointment with my gynae for friday. I have all the weird pregnancy symptoms but will not get excited considering what happened last time. Will keep you updated. Hope you are sticking to the no meds motto.

Ladies.......................how are we all doing?

Hi, TCS84 - My hubby warmed the bean bag and it helped alot for the pain. Thanks you! Now holding thumbs that I got that eggy!

Hi Anzelmama!

Hope your pain has eased off.. SOrry dear. that must of been horrible. I didnt have that with ovulation...
Maybe try a heat bag or hot water bottle.. Warmth always has a soothing affect!!

Hope you are feeling better... and Lots of baby dust this cycle!!

Cynthia: How are you doing? what CD are you on now? Did you test or anything?

Girls, feels like I'm going to die of pain tonight! I'm mid cycle, CD 15, and am experiencing the most excruciating stabbing pains on my left side, close to my ovary. Then it moved to the right side as well. If this is what ovulation feels like, I understand why I've been on the Pill for so long! Cheeze, it hurts!!

This was my second round of Fertomid 100mg, so I'm sure this is ovulation pain. Had a temp dip this morning to 36 degrees. Hoping this month is successful.

Is this pain normal? What can I do about it? Or to make it feel better? It radiates into my lower back. Really sore!

Hi Cynthia!

I'm okay.. Well could be better: picked up the horrible flu from hubby. Coughing my lungs out and sore throat etc: feeling miserable cos I can't even have a lozenger...

Having plenty honey ginger cinnamon and so on... Hoping it goes by Sunday the latest!

@ Meisiekind it could be either way and maybe I ll brave it out because I still have to know whats going on and get a way forward right?

@ TCS84 how are you and baby?

Thanks Jay-Bee and Morgan, all went really well in my opinion.

The procedure itself couldn't have taken more than 2 mins and it felt just about the same as having a pap smear done. And my FS is really great so I wasn't nervous at all. He told me to ensure I have a full bladder since it will press on the uterus and force it to be more vertical, which makes it a lot easier to get the catheter to where it has to go. And the doctor in the laboratory where hubby's sample was being prepared, showed us through a microscope what his little swimmers look like, so that was really interesting.

Have to take progesterone pessaries ( like a suppository but inserted vaginally) for the duration of the tww. Bit of a messy business, but not too bad. Beta test is due on 21 April and I promised myself to wait for the results and not use HPTs.

@AnzelMama, well done for seeing the positive side of not being successful yet. As I always say, its difficult now to see why things turn out the way it does, but over time it becomes clear way we should wait for God's timing.

@Morgan, sounds like you got some good advice wrt being gluten intolerant etc. I still believe there are so many things the influence our health that we're not aware of. Good luck with sticking to your new diet. I hope it works well for you.

@Cynthia, have you tested at all? Couldn't figure out if you know its BFN because the meds didn't work, or if its possibly BFP but you haven't done any tests.

@Betti, glad to see that all is still going well with you and your little one.
