Looking for others who took clomid & hcg. I'm currently 4dpo & could really do with some sucess stories or anyone in a similar boat to me, to help me stay positive!
well whilst i was on the tabs i was like a mad woman but no pregnancy symptoms as of yet. This was my 1st cycle of clomid, and i suffer from pcos. D u have scans? i had scan and there was 2 follicles so im in with a chance i suppose but not getting my hopes up just incase.
Hayzee thats gr8, u only need one egg afterall to make a baby!!! hope it works for you. Fingers x the IUI went well for u bamboo. I'm not being scanned no. Just had to wait foy LH surge (using CBFM) to give myself the hcg trigger shot. Should be 6 dpo today, temps are still elevated so i'm hopeful Baby dust to us all, lets get those bfp's together. x
lets hope so, i thought i might of got my period yesterday as had a few cramps but nothing so far also having increased amount of discharge not sure if its a pregnancy symptom or my bodys way of saying not worked this month but ill have 2 wait n c. If i dont get my period b4 sat then ive gotta test so im keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck n loads of baby dust x
An increase in cm sounds like a good sign to me, keep me posted. i may test this weekend also, even though i know it's probably too early-i'm a serial tester, can't help myself! just got 10 first response tests through the door this morning (got them on ebay for just £8! Wish i'd done that in the past i've wasted so much money on bfn's! Hopefully not this time.
lets keep our fingers crossed im the same when did u have ur shot i was told to wait 16 days after cos u can get a false positive. Must admit im terrible for testing as well but u cant help it can u.
i done a test earlier but the test line was quite faint and there was a faint line also but im going to take it as though the test didnt work but might get another cos im dying to know if it has def worked. Do u think it would be out of my system? how long have u been told to do a test after the shot? also did u have the 10,000 shot? sorry about all the questions lol.
hi there, yes i had 10,000 shot. they said it takes about 1,000 a day to metabolise. so approx 10 days and it should be out of your system. When did u take urs?
i had my injection on the 25 september first thing in the morning. The nurse told me that if hadnt had a period by 11 october then i should do a test. im currently on day 31, but i dont show on a preg test until a few days after my period but not sure when i should come on or if i should stick to how i used to go b4 starting the tabs.
well i done a test a little while ago and it said negative so suppose ive just got to wait till my period arrives. I called hosp and asked them how long my cycle should be and they told me to do a test first thing tomorrow as that was the date i had been given and if nothing has happened by tues then ive got to do another one if that still says neg then ive got to call them back up. I just look at it like it hasnt worked n i had a good chance as i had 2 follicles so whats the chances of it even working. Ill let u know what happens if anything or if i finally get my period x.
You've got a gr8 chance if there were two follicles! Got my fingers crossed for u. At least u know the shot is out of our system! I started bleeding at work today i don't know how i'm feeling, other than confused & numb, as i've tested this pm and got a faint BFP on a FR test. I'm going to bed, praying hard for both of us! x
sorry to hear that ur bleeding im keeping my fingers crossed for u. I done another test this morning and it said neg but no sign of period either. I dont usually show on a test till im a wk late so just hoping there isnt enough in my urine to show yet as i usually know when im going 2 get my period as i can feel the pressure. Got to keep hoping it aint over until she rears her ugly head. Im feeling a bit crappy today but we have got to be hopeful i no its not easy ive had everyone telling me that its early days etc but they dont understand all they have got 2 do is drop their knickers n they r preggers. If i dont get my period by tues ill do another test n let u no either way n u do the same x

It sounds promising. i've still gotta pray as still bleeding, and now showing bfn clutching at straws but still hoping i'm in with a chance. thinking of u.
Sorry to hear that Ray The IUI failing must have been reall hard. I'd say ur still in with a chance this cycle though as ur only 13 dpo, some people don't det bfp till a week late (or longer) Stay positive! i'm trying, despite still bleeding (been over 48 hrs now-i'm currently 11 dpo) keep us posted.
hi ray sorry to hear about iui not working seemed from what u said that u had a good chance i cant imagine how u felt. As nicci said dont give up hope its only 13 dpo u could have tested 2 early. im 16 dpo n i done a test on yesterday n it said neg but until i get my period im keeping my fingers crossed as i dont show till im a wk late. hi nicci how r u hope ur keeping well still no sign of my period so going to wait till tues 2 do another test, if its still neg going to call my fertility nurse n go from there. Not sure what they might suggest as its my first month on this so got no experience to go from. good luck to u all x.
Hi Hayzee, think the bleedings gone, hope it stays away. still gonna carry on testing depite gettting bfn's now! i sound bonkers but am hoping so so hard that i'm still in with a chance despite the blood loss. Still thinkin of u x
hi nicci im glad the bleeding has finally stopped whats going to happen now r u going to take that as ur period ? maybe u should call ur nurse to find out what it could have been.ive still got no period it is possible that im just late but iwhen i spoke to the nurse she said when ur on clomid it makes u reg as it determines the cycle? anyway im getting fed up with the ifs and maybes just want to know one way or the other. will do the test tomorrow but getting fed up with seeing a big fat negative it disheartens u.
Its a god sign the bleeding has stopped perhaps was bedding in bleed you never know. It seems to early for AF and if is AF then def to early are you seeking specalist.
Hi Hayzee, ive heard that clomid makes you regular too but also that it can lengthen LP as its used for people that have V short LP to try and help them. I'm the same as u and getting very fed up with the ifs and buts and also with this damn headache that the clomid seems to be causing. Have you had any side effects.
Ps sure Af is on her way. Had sore bbs and true to form they have now gone, when that happens Af usually arrives within 24hrs. watch this space another month will be over. On to month 55 maybe a lucky number for me !!!! not likely.
God i'm so flat. the bleeding came back, so i guess i could say i'm cd 5 as all hpt's (yes i'm still testing!! nuts!!) are bfn. wish i knew why i've bled 9 dpo if clomids meant to help lengthen the LF. How are you 2 doing any news?
hi ladies finally got my phone call returned from nurse, she said the tabs can make u period earlier, not change, or lengthen so ive got 2 wks from sat just gone to test if no period by 27 then ive got 2 go n have a blood test cos some women dont always show on a hpt till they are so many days late (im one of them). So back to the waiting game 4 me im gonna go by my original dates pre clomid n go from there according to them im due on sat so ill test then. Feel like im still in with a chance but we will have to see. hope ur both ok n thinking of u x
i know i complained and said that i wasnt given enough information regarding the clomid. They only tell u the basics, the way i took it was that i should have a period by the sat she told me 2 test but in fact that is the earliest they recommend u test due 2 the injection. I feel like absolute crap came down with the flu n i dont want to take any med just in case im preg so im suffering. Also i went to get pertrol last night n got hit by a driver who had no insurance, license or tax. My car is brand new only bought it from fords 6mths ago n so ive gt to foot the bill for the repairs so im not having a good wk. Hope ur both ok xx
Oh Hayzee sound like ur having a really trying week. Bout time for some good news indeed! After 4 days of light bleeding i stopped and am still obsessing as i now have ewcm and all sorts of twinges/ cames down in the uterus. Still testing! lol!! have u tested again? Any sign of af Ray? hope not x
no im not gonna keep testing cos it gets me down if i see a neg. The way my periods were pre clomid was that i would get my period approx 28-35 days after my bleed, but i rarely went the full 35 days. The latest i am due on is sat so im gonna test at the weekend, but i might not show if i am cos last time i didnt show untill 5 days after the 35 but unfortunately it ended in a miscarriage. No havent heard from ray hope everything is ok. what have ur tests been saying? have u started taking ur tabs again? if i do test b4 the weekend then ill let u no as sometimes i get a bee in my bonnet n do 1 anyway. take care x
I haven't taken the clomid this cycle cause i just wasn't sure about the bleed being a period, i'm still in denial! tests are bfn. guess by the time i accept it hasn't worked it'll be time to start bd'ing again!! guess we'll just have to have a meds free month! & c what happens, i'm still charting so i'll be able to see if the clomid has kick started my cycle (PRAYING I OVULATE ON MY OWN) hope u get ur bfp this weekend.x
thanxs for the kind thoughts. We all cling 2 hope no matter how small it may b. Lets hope that it works this month n then u can stick ur finger up 2 the clomid lol.
hi nicci i just want 2 scream. i done a pregnacy test about anhour ago n i got a positive it wasnt faint but not exactly dark either if u no wot i mean. I done another one bout 10 mins later n it came up neg i did have a drink in between n instead of weeing on the stick i decided that i would pee in an old plastic cup. So not sure what to think, the 1st one came up in the 3 mins they allow but not sure if drink diluted urine or if cup contaiminated urine or if the 1st is a doddgy test. So now im going 2 buy some more n test in the morning when it should be stronger. i hate my body went from elation to numb to confusion. dont no wot 2 think
Oh my god hayzee i'm so pleased for u! they say u can get a false negative but u can't get a false positive!! guess it's worked for u girly!!! Were the tests the same brand? if so whichone? how many days post ovulation are u now?? i'd say the second one was probably nedative cause u hadn't waited long enough to allow the hcg to build back up in ur urine. Unbelievable girly!! it's fantastic news i can't wait to join u. Please keep in touch.x
well done a test n it says neg. Guess the test was dodgy. Im due 2day so i guess ill just have to wait n see what happens but if i havent had my period by wednesday/thursday then ill try again. Getting a bit fed up with it now. Dont think im preg just think that maybe all the meds have just messed up my cycle. I no last time i was nearly a wk late b4 it showed but after yesterday i have gave up all hope now. Anyway ill let u no what happens xx
Well i totally sympathise if it's any consolation, having got a positive at 9 dpo and now bfn's. i'm holding out hope for both of us Hayzee as i still don't believe my bleed was a period. i don't think ur test would have been faulty, are u using the same brand? which one is it? even the same brands can detect differing amounts of hcg u know! i'd say wait a few days like u plan and try again. What is ur cervical mucus like? sorry for personal question, but i've still got ewcm which i find weird, and my temps still haven't dropped below my coverline, in fact they're going back up! spk later i hope. x
the tests i used yesterday were clearblue n they were out of the same box. The 1 i used 2day was also a clearblue but from a different box. my cm is very thick n creamy gonna have 2 wear a panty liner if it carries on. well i need 2 no b4 wednesday as have dentist n going 2 b sedated (im a big fat wimp lol) n cant have it done if pregnancy is suspected. i am currently 21 days past ovulation but i never miss a period i no i get my period 28-35 days after last day of bleed (weird i no but thats how my body works its the pcos).
Where do u live? have u got a pound shop near u? or a savers? they do their own hpt's, u get 2 for £1 in the pound shop or one for 99p in savers, they detect 10 miu which is really really sensitive FR are the nxt sensitive, clearblue needs 25 miu. Hope u get the result b4 wed x
i have ordered 5 tests for 5.99 with 3 post n package n they r early tests 10 miu so going 2 wait till i recieve them which should b on monday. I am now officially late n with no sign of period thinking maybe tabs have made me late. how r u doing? i live in dagenham n there are pound shops near me but i dont think they are sensitive enough as when i was pregnant it didnt show.
i phoned nurse cos got another pos n neg n she has asked me 2 go in 4 a blood test at least i will no wots going on. When i get the results i will let u no. I think i aint its just the clearblue giving dodgy results as they have got a bad write up on the net. Speak 2 u later xx
got the results n im def not preggers im fine bout it as i didnt think i was, just goes to show that clearblue aint what they r cracked up 2 b. I even showed the nurse the test n even she said it was def pos so cant understand y. Cos its so long since my last period she has gave me a prescription for provera to induce my period. So ill soon be on round 2.
Oh Hayzee, i'm really sorry for you, it sucks doesn't it i really thought u'd have positive news. Why does it have to be so hard, it sucks. I'm still testing like a looney!! temp dropped almost to my coverline this morning & i'm still in denial. Ovulation sticks are all low. Bet i don't ovulate this month, and i'll be waiting months for a period (PCOS V.IRREGULAR). Hope u'll stick around for our nxt cycle, it's nice to have someone to talk it over with. Have a big fat glass of wine tonight!! thinking of u x
hi i no its good 2 have someone to talk to who is going through the same as you. We can both have our ups n downs n no exactly how the other one is feeling. I aint gonna start the provera just yet im gonna wait a few days 2 c if i start on my own i think my body has had enough interference from tabs n it aint done any good so far. Everyone is saying ur putting 2 much pressure on urself n try not 2 think bout it but its hard cos ur life seems to get taken over by tabs hospital appointments etc. I no ive got another 5 goes left but part of me does not want to carry on cos of the heartache involved but unless i try i will spend the rest of my life wondering. Thats enough of me moaning lol. Yep ill be on here same as usual as i need 2 c how my clomid buddy is doing. Hopefully u wont be waiting ages 4 ur period n we can get back on the tabs n hopefully fingers crossed get some better news next month. xx
Sorry to read your news hayzee. I've just had my first cycle on clomid, but have had hcg injections 3 x before. Hospital says not to test for 3 weeks after injection, but previously miscarried at nearly 5 weeks, so test to see if hcg out of system. Usually test is positive 8/9 days after injection and negative two days later. This cycle, my 6th IUI attempt, have tested positive for last 4 days (9 to 12 after injection) using same tests. Was wondering whether clomid affects how long hcg stays in system? Difficult not to get excited as way too early, but also had strong reaction to paint fumes in my office yesterday - couldn't stay in room, felt so sick. Prob reading too much into it. Af due Saturday, so keeping fingers crossed.
hi issy what strength shot r u on i was on 10,000 and i was told not to test until 14 days after as it can give u a false positive, although some people say allow 1,000 for every day.I dont think the clomid makes the hcg stay in your system 4 longer, But i will keep my fingers crossed that u r pregnant it would b nice 2 hear some good news.
Thanks for the info hayzee. I don't know what strength I had, my hospital is not good at details and I've already recycled the box, but I'm pretty sure it has been the same every time. Tested negative today though on a test which is 87% on day -3 so probably not preg, just got excited especially as yesterday's test was in the evening, so less likely to be positive. I hate this waiting phase.
Hi Izzy, any news? I'm currently cd 14 CBFM (clearblue fertility monitor) still registering low! Having a month off the clomid/hcg in the hope i may ovulate on my own, lol!! How are you doing Hayzee, did AF arrive on it's own yet? Here's to getting our BFP in November!!! x
no it still hasnt arrived beginning 2 think the tabs have made my cycle so much worse than they was b4 as im now on day 46 n i have never gone this long n the nurse said there is a chance of the same happening again nxt month. They are going 2 c how it goes n dont no if they will up the dosage or try me on something else. So im gonna wait a bit longer b4 i take the tabs as feel taking tabs has mucked my body up enough n dont want 2 mess it up even more. Just waiting yet again. Dont think these tabs are gonna work 4 me but suppose i will just have 2 take each day at a time n c wot happens.
Hi nicci - had another bfn yesterday, small temperature drop today and feeling periody, so not holding up much hope. I think tomorrow's temperature will answer for me, though it's often higher on weekends as I sleep in.
I think it's good to give your body a rest from the drugs. I really don't like having hcg because of the false positives, but my clinic doesn't treat on Sundays, so have to have it if there's a risk of missing the right time. Would be so much easier to have a dh instead of di . Good luck!
Was posting about tests on another thread and my resolve went and just did test. It was a cheapy Sainsbury which I've had no problems with previously, but Tuesday night did two and got a faint line in the test window but an incomplete line in the control window (false positive due to hcg shot). I had a negative cb digital on Wednesday am and two clear negative Sainsburys ones on Wed eve and Thurs am. Way too much testing I know but it's just because of the injection. This time got same as Tues - a line in the test window but very, very faint this time but an incomplete control line. Don't know what to make of that. I'm going to try and ignore it and see what the clearblue digital gives tomorrow. Only have one left else would be tempted to test again tonight. Still feel periody though, definite cramps and the hcg shot means can't trust a positive until Thursday. I need a 'confused' smiley to end this post.
Izzy it's so confusing isn't it, everyone says use the digital tests, then there isn't the confusion of is there a line isn't there a line etc etc. But i just find the 'not pregnant' word so depressing & final. I think i kinda like the obsessing over the lines (i take the digitals apart anyway, regardless of the bfn just so that i can check those lines), LOL! I really hope u get a bfp this morning, after 6 IUI cycles i think it's ur time! x Hayzee, sorry AF hasn't arrived yet, hope it happens soon so that u can start the nxt cycle with me! Know doubt i'll still be waiting for O by the time u join me! It's naff just waiting for the nxt cycle to start isn't it?! Still thinking of u x
haven't read the full thread but just thought i'd share with you: I was taking the Clomid and having the HCG.I'm going back x 11 years now.After about my 4th/5th injection (was on Clomid for a while before started having injection too), I conceived.My dd1 is now 10 and then....I conceived "naturally" x twice and I now have three: 10,9 and 8!!!!so hope that's what you wanted to hear !
Thanks cutekids, it's gr8 to here your story. I'd love nothing more than to have 3 kids. i really hope i'm able to be in your position 10 years from now. x
Thanks Nicci. Unfortunately had temp nosedive today and tested anyway but used the last cheap Sainsbury one as I knew I was wasting my time. It was of course BFN and AF now just starting . Now I'm not sure when to start Clomid as I'm sure last month I got told to take first tablet on second full day of period and not to count the first day unless period started before noon. I rang clinic yesterday and got told day 1 is if it starts before 6pm (by the nurse the others all check everything with). Since spotting started just before noon, I'm sure will have full AF before 6pm. Why can't they give you consistent advice? Maybe I'll start a thread to ask what others are told.
Babydust to us all for next cycle. I will now be testing next around time mc baby was due and is day of my cousin's wedding so is going to be emotional. Am going to try to just test if late though.
I had a hcg trigger last Saturday and had FSH injections rather than Clomid. I have just tested and it came up positive but from what this thread is saying that doesn't mean I am necessarily pregnant does it????
miloopy - my clinic says you can't trust a test for 3 weeks, but up until this week, I've always had a positive test up to day 8/9 after hcg then a negative two days later. This time though was positive 12 days after injection and maybe even last night (14 days after) and am not pg as AF arrived today. So in future I'm just not going to test until I'm late (at least that's the plan). Good luck, hope you have some good news in a week or so.
Izzy i'm so sorry for you, i'm thinking of you & sending lots of strength your way for the nxt cycle. Personally i'd take today as cd1 if AF is in full flow. We'll be there for you throughout the journey ahead to our bfp's. Keep in touch x Miloopy, i was told it takes approx 10-14 days for the hcg to leave ur system depending on the strength they gave u. Was it 5000 or 10000? Goodluck & sticky vibes your way if it is bfp.x h
Thanks for the info, thought it might be to good to be true, I shall keep my fingers crossed and wait! Good luck to everyone in the same boat. We will get there.
Thanks nicci, will definitely keep in touch. Any sign of ov for you yet? Here's hoping you will have a BFP on both OPK and HPT this cycle. I'll take more notice of what strength Ovitrelle I'm on this month, but I may not need it as CD14 will be a Friday.
Well girlies, i've got a glimmer of hope this morning, cd 17 for me, & i got a 'HIGH' reading on my monitor!! Here's hoping for that peak to follow shortly. Where are u at now Hayzee any sign of AF?
hi everyone thats good news about your reading nicci no sign of my period yet i have decided im not going to take the tabs as i emailed a fertility dr on the net and he has told me that it is highly unusual to be this late as i had the hcg shot as the clomid can make u late if taken on its on but it should not affect u if taken with the shot. Not sure what to do for the best, i know if i take the tabs i can get on with the next round but still unsure if bringing on my period is the right thing to do until im 100% sure im going to wait. Sorry i have not been on for a while but had so much going on here xmas shopping etc. Lets hope we all get some good news soon xxx.
Hayzee, i totally understand not wanting to take the tabs. I find it strange that you haven't yet had a period, as if you weren't pregnant the clomid and hcg together would regulate ur cycle causing a bleed, wouldn't they?. Maybe (don't wanna get your hopes up) but there's always the slim chance because you have irregular long cycles there's still a possibility u might be (despite the negative beta). Personally i'd wait for a period too- unless they can do an USS to see what's going on, if anything. Hope u find out soon.
hi nicci well i done another test yesterday n it came up negative so i figure that if i was pregnant then surely it would have shown by now. I decided to start taking the provera this morning there is no point delaying it i might as well just close the chapter on the 1st round and get ready 4 round 2 which hopefully will be alot better. Got to keep ur chin up n hope for the best. Hopefully we will all get pregnant b4 xmas n it would b the most wonderful pressie ever. xxx
Hows everyone doing? i'm quite excited, as i got a peak on my monitor all on my own (no clomid this cycle!) decided to give myself the hcg afterall, on the day of peak, as i remember the doctor saying i don't release the eggs on my own, so hopefully this will do the trick, now i'm just waiting for FF (fertility friend) to tell me when/if i ovulated! Hayzee are you going to try charting this cycle?
no going to take the provera n then went my period arrives ill just start the clomid again n then go 2 hosp 4 my scans n have the hcg shot when its needed. im so glad this month is going so well 4 u n u finally get pregnant without the need 4 the tabs.x
Hi nicci - great news. Here's hoping you have a BFP in a couple of weeks.
I've just taken my last clomid for this cycle. Had a hot flush in the middle of the night last night, but no headache today. First scan on Monday (I go on day 10 as previously ov'd on day 11 and missed treatment) so let's hope there's a couple of good eggs developing.
Hayzee are you having IUI at your clinic or just the scans, if you don't mind me asking?
Issy i was just logging on to ask after u! Lots of luck for Monday, positives vibes to u!! i'm officially 3 dpo (according to FF), it's the exciting bit of the TWW, hurry up and release that egg & we can be in it together again! x
hi nicci n issy no im not having iui just go 2 hosp 4 my scans follicle tracking n then if n when there is an egg they inject me with my hcg shot. good luck 2 both of u im still on the provera getting loads of stomach cramps which must mean that they r working. xx
Hi, I am new to his post, but have found many of the conversations helpful. My husband & I have been trying for over a year to get pregnant. We have done 6 months of Clomid and 2 rounds of IUI. My last HCG injection was 15 days ago(Oct 18th) and the last IUI was Oct 20th. I just took a HPT that was positive. I am afraid to get my hopes up because could the HCG injection still be in my body? Has anyone found the HCG injection to last beyond 14 day or could this really be a true pregnancy? It is Sunday, so I can't call the Dr until tomorrow....
Hi Eis, welcome to our little group. I think we've all asked your question at some point so I will attempt to summarise our thoughts.
At my clinic, they tell me not to trust a positive until 3 weeks after the injection as that is what the manufacturers say. They have however also told me that if you get to about 17 DPO with no period that's a very good sign.
Nicci/Hayzee - sorry can't remember which of you said this - has been told that it leaves your system at 1000 units a day so if you had the 10000 shot it should be clear by day 10.
This ties up with my previous experience where I have tested negative 10 days after the hcg injection (after previous positives). I have also read that if you test negative and then positive again in similar circumstances (eg both fmu) then you probably are pg.
A note of caution though. This month (my first with clomid and hcg) I didn't test negative until 13 days after the injection, then was negative for two days then had a positive again (although it may have been a dodgy test as the control line had a dot missing out of it) and then tested negative and got AF the day after the positive. Could have been the injection, a chemical pregnancy or a faulty test. I did wonder whether the Clomid affected the hcg too.
Testing positive 15 days after sounds hopeful so I'm cautiously optimistic for you. Good Luck and fingers crossed for you! xx
Thank you Issy42. It really helps to hear other people's stories... I am going to call my Dr tomorrow (hoping that I don't start my per overnight) and see if they think it is too soon to do a blood test... crossing my fingers, too!
Welcome Eis, I have to say Issy your last post was v informative! & I totally agree with what you've said. Just wanted to wish u, & of course now Eis, goodluck for tomorrow. Hope to here some positive news tomorrow pm. x Hayzee hows things? Any signs of AF yet? I've never taken provera, how long do u take it for? When is AF meant to start after taking it? Thinking of u. x My end, 4 dpo, nausea mild cramps/full feeling, constipation, mild heartburn & my nose has had a small bleed every morning since ovulation when blowing it!! (yes i know it's too early for symptoms but i just can't stop obsessing!) All side effects of raised progesterone & thanks to the Hcg shot, no doubt (this time i only had 5000iu -so like a true peeonastickaholic!! i'm poas daily just to see when it does leave my system, should be interesting). Spk soon
Just a quick update from me as am at work. Had scan this morning (only day 9) and already have four follicles over 1mm (2.3, 1.7, 1.6 and 1.2). Quite a shock to be so many so big already and apparently I had one of the sonographers who tends to measure small, so they are probably bigger. OPKs first thing and at lunchtime both negative though so have to use the Ovitrelle tonight for treatment Wednesday. Womb lining only 6mm so hope it thickens. Maybe having side effects with Clomid is a good sign afterall.
My Ovitrelle is 0.5ml, so I must process it slowly as def usually takes 10 days to clear. Maybe last month I got a higher dose and that's why it stayed in my system longer, although the nurse I spoke with today thinks I had a very early mc last month.
Nicci - I get early pg symptoms after hcg shot, especially the morning sicknessy feeling, but they usually go away after about a week.
Good luck everyone. Hope you get good news from the doctor Eis.
No luck for me this month, period came early. I am giving the injections a rest until after Christmas, I have found it all quite stressful and need a break for a while. Good luck to everyone else, I shall keep my fingers crossed for you.
Oh Miloopy i'm really sorry AF showed. I understand how emotionally draining it can be (i'm certain everyone else here can agree too). Maybe the break will do you good. Christmas i suppose is time to try and distract yourself from ttc (so many people tell me it'll happen when you stop trying so hard!-much easier said than done however!) I wish u well, stay in touch with us. x
I just wanted to give you guys an update.. I had bloodwork today (31 days) and they confirmed that I am pregnant! I can't beleive it! I feel like I am in a dream. They said my HCG levels were at 328 and they want to check them again in 48 hours to make sure they are rising as expected. I really can't beleive it... I really hope & pray that each of you experience this success in the near future,too... I know it will happen for you!
Congratulations Eis - - that's fantastic news. Sending you lots of babydust for a sticky bean.
Sorry to hear AF arrived Miloopy .
Realised when I got home and read instructions that I had given incomplete information about my Ovitrelle - the strength is 250 micrograms / 0.5ml which is apparently equivalent to 6500 IU, so it must be taking me a little longer than 1000 per day to get out of my system. Nurse said that my strange results last cycle sounded like a very early mc to her. Let's hope that one of these follicles produces a sticky bean this time.
hi all sorry havent been on but my husbands cousin who is like a brother to him has been rushed to hospital and is in an induced coma so been to hospital which is 60 miles away.
how are you all doing i stopped taking the provera on monday and i think they said that i should expect a period 1-2 wks after the last tab so just waiting for it to arrive.
Hope this month you all get good news. speak to you soon xxx
Wondered if something was up Hayzee having not heard from u. I wish your husbands cousin well, & that he makes a quick recovery. How scary for you all. Once again my thoughts are with u. x
Just wondering how everyone is? How's the daily poas going nicci?
I realised that the only time I didn't do any early testing was my first IUI attempt which did lead, at least briefly, to me being pg. So this time am going to do the same and no symptom spotting either ... apart from wondering whether the sharp needle like pains on my right hand side yesterday and day before mean anything and looking around the ankles for swollen lumps!!! Not symptom spotting, honest !
Well girlies HCG shot was out of my system by 9 dpo (using ultra sensitive 10 miu hpt's) At 11 dpo today and temp has taken a huge dip right down to my coverline! i guess if it's still down tomorrow then thats it, another month bites the dust i guess on the positive side, at least my LP has gone beyond it's recent 9 days (half way there i suppose) Guess there's alot to be said for not obsessing, please pray for me that my temp goes back up tomorrow, i'm beginning to think it's never gonna happen. Please check out my chart, it'll probably make more sense then ((http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/139770)) x
hi all thanks for all the warm wishes my husbands cousin seems to be improving but until he wakes up we wont no. My period finally arrived yipee never been so glad to get my period lol so im back on the clomid currently on day 3. Nicci keeping my fingers crossed for u xxx
Thanks Hayzee, but AF arrived for me 2 minutes ago! so guess we're back on track together. CD 1 for me. Gonna start the clomid again tomorrow i think 100mg cd2-6. He we go again!! Glad your brothers cousin is showing signs of improvement. x How's everyone else doing?
I'm only a week into the 2ww and it feels like forever. Trying not to symptom spot as hcg will still be in my system anyway, but keep obsessing about every little thing and not sure how much longer I can hold out without testing - hcg shot should be gone any day now.
Baby dust to you Issy, i'm gonna take that approach this cycle, i'm done with poas!!!!! never thought i'd say that. think i'm just gonna watch my temps (cheaper that way) & they seem to indicate what ur body's planning on doing. When do u start ur clomid Hayzee, or have u already? what dose are you on? x
ive already started my clomid im on 100mg take it on days 2-6 same as you. I take my last tab tomorrow so we r going to be in the same boat together lets hope its a sign and we r gonna get some good news. dh cousin woke up yesterday but they had to put him back under as his body cant cope so its safer for him to be in the coma we are going back to the hospital on sat so hopefully we will have better news. take care speak to you soon xxx
I seem to be totally out of sync with you both. Hope you both get some nice, big, good-quality follicles developing soon.
My not symptom spotting, not testing philosophy has gone out of the window. I tested today and it was negative so that's the hcg out of my system. Trouble is since tests stayed positive for so much longer last month, I'm now wondering whether you stay positive the whole way through if it's worked. Also thought I had some pg symptoms (nausea, heightened sense of smell, -TMI warning- lots of white CM, slight constipation, sharp needle-like pains, metallic taste), but they've pretty much disappeared over the last two days, so must have been the hcg or other causes. I hate that hcg stays in your system so long that you begin to believe you might be pg. If it hasn't worked this time with three good follicles and a smaller one for back up, I can't see when it ever will .
Hayzee - hope when dh's cousin next wakes up he will be more stable.
Take care both and hope you both had a symptom-free clomid taking time.
hi all wont be on here over the wkend as going to hosp n staying over nite. glad im off the tabs i felt hot then cold every 2 mins was doing hubbys head in with the fan on/off. Got my 12 day scan on wed so hopefully will have some follicles growing not that it did much good last time as i had 2 n it didnt work but we must keep our fingers crossed. just hoping that it doesnt mess my periods up again its stressful enough without it mucking my body up as well. issy i no what u mean about saying ur not gonna do this n your not gonna do that but we always end up doing it cos we all get our hopes up even if its only a little bit we have all been through so much and this is a good chance 4 us all. Hope u have a nice wkend xxx
Hi u 2! Issy it doesn't matter that we're out of sync, one of us has to get a bfp first!! are u 9dpo now? try and stay positive what will be will be hey!? at least u know the hcg is out of ur system so if u can hang on for another 5 days.........easier said than done hey? coming from a serial tester. i'm taking the clomid at night time, only symptom so far are headaches! hope i don't get any other side effects. just to let u know, the doctor i've been seeing/referred to has been suspended!!! so i javen't got any hcg for this month, and can't get a prescription as the GP won't sanction it, and there isn't another fertility doctor in my area at the mo. Typical. Don't suppose u know if u can get hold of it without a script?? Either that or i just have to pray that by the time i need it there's another consultant in his place!! Dramas!!! Hayzee wish u & ur family well this wkend. x
Hi both. Hope you get good news at the hospital hayzee. Fingers crossed for a successful scan on Wednesday and thanks both so much for your kind words.
Nicci - I can't believe you can just be left in the lurch like that . Are you on NHS? If so can you be seen at another hospital just this once to get your shot? I'm amazed it's so strict - at my hospital the nurses just give it out to you so I don't even see a doctor - not even the first time I had it. If you're being treated as a private patient is there another clinic nearby you could ask to be seen at just this once? You really shouldn't have to go through all those nasty clomid symptoms for them not to follow through the treatment - very unprofessional. What's happening about your scans? Perhaps the nurses there can give you some ideas.
I am 9 dpo and will have to try really hard not to test this weekend. I bought some really cheap ones on the internet so I may allow myself to use those early and wait until Wednesday (or I get a positive on the cheapies which would be great) to use the CB digital. Got the cheapies the day after my IUI, so tried one out and even then only had a faint line. They also don't tell you how long to dip for and have different instructions on the box (any line) than on the packet (line has to be as dark as control line), so I'm not convinced they're that great - but I did only buy the 25mIU as I know when to expect a negative from hcg shot with that strength.
Have been feeling really out of it today so hoping it's pg symptom and not onset of a cold.
hi all issy im keeping my fingers crossed for you i dont show until im a wk late on a test so dont give up just yet. nicci cant believe u aint getting hcg i dont see a doc the fertility nurse writes my prescriptions for my clomid and hcg shot so y cant they write 1 4 u. my husbands cousin is out of the woods we really thought we were going to lose him but he is out of his coma and alert just very weak but that is 2 b expected. He will be in hosp for a while but hopefully he will b out b4 xmas. I didnt really have a lot of side effects this month which was good. Ill let u no how i get on wednesday good luck both of u xxx
Gr8 news about ur DH's cousin i'm really pleased. Izzy fingers and toes crossed, u can't give up hope yet! As for me, no luck in getting a script for hcg. i've never seen a fertility nurse only the consultant and it was him that wrote my prescriptions. i'm on the NHS not in a position to go private. The hospital aren't giving much away with regards to how long they'll be without a fertility specialist. All they can say is they'll send correspondence via the post! Rubbish. i really hope i haven't taken the clomid in vain. Maybe thinking it won't happen this month will result in BFP wishful thinking!! I'll keep charting regardless, stay in touch girlies. x
hi all nicci im on the nhs and my gny referred me the fertility clinic within the hosp and so i deal with them now. I have 6 goes with the clomid and if it does not work then i have to go back and see my gny and we will then look at iui which i will get 3 goes of an
i don't know how i'm feeling, other than confused & numb, as i've tested this pm and got a faint BFP on a FR test. I'm going to bed, praying hard for both of us! x 
. Good luck!
! 
but used the last cheap Sainsbury one as I knew I was wasting my time. It was of course BFN and AF now just starting 
Has anyone found the HCG injection to last beyond 14 day or could this really be a true pregnancy? It is Sunday, so I can't call the Dr until tomorrow....
