TTC - Clomid V -

Confused I've never heard that either.

Super I agree with Jo, take it at night!

Supersunnyday great about the clomid and start it straight away as it can take a couple of months to kick in apparently plus you are better now! The only side effect I get is night sweats.

I saw consultant today and had a scan there was one mature follicle and another almost ready too! Womb lining all good too so fingers crossed for this month! If it doesn't work on 100mg of clomid next month. Feel loads better about everything as I know I am ovulating now! He did say you should both give up alchohol as it has a huge effect, anyone else heard that?

Hope everyone else is ok

Hi Stace, had a few days of nausea but none today. The dose goes up again for the final time tomorrow.

Thatnks for the advice - thought it was sweet stuff too reallygrumpy but now thinking it's dairy!!! Which is totally weird as we have dairy intolerance in my family. Proper weigh in tomorrow but think I've done nearly 5lb this week which is amazing!!!

Sounds like its a load of tosh about lots of nausea meaning a girl. Ah well i'm not fussed anyway, i just know dp would be over the moon if it's a girl, he wil still be really happy with a boy though:)

Pops your scan is the day after mine :)

Stac we will be finding out what we're having at the 20wk scan.

I've been having a really stressfull time at work recently, can that effect the baby? I'm trying to stay relaxed at work but sometimes it's hard.

Hope everyone is well

Hey all,

fairy the metformin gave me a really dodgy tummy, especially when I ate anything sweet which I think is why I lost weight both times I was on it.

stac that's really interesting that you got pg just on metformin. I got pg with DD on metformin, got pg earlier this year on clomid then miscarried and now I'm back on clomid but I've had a scan today (cd13) which didn't show any follicles. I've got another scan on Monday and then an appt with the cons on thurs so I'm going to ask him about taking metformin again.

hey ladies, just popping on to say hi. fairy i dont remember met puting me off certain foods just put me off all food lol

popsy thats good bout ds, is that your 20wk scan already?

lady i was nauseous all the time but not sick with rileigh but was sick with ds. Is your scan next week? Will you find out what your having?

The clomid made me feel hungry a lot too also i was a moody cow which the cons said was the rollercoaster of ttc, his ass he never took those tablets. I was given metformin to be used along side clomid when after using clomid alone for 6 months i only ov'd once. I didnt get the chance to take the metformin and clomid as i fell pregnant with rileigh in the 2nd month of taking metformin. Just thought i should fill you all in a bit about my ttc dd.

Sorry i havent caught up properly on the thread, but i will over the weekend. Hi to everyone, hope your all well x

Hi fairygodmother can't help with metformin side effects, clomid does the opposite have a huge appetite and am eating far more than I should be! Any other side effects?
I have an appointment with my consultanton Monday they brought it forward a month as I have run out of clomid! This time i have written down all my ?'s in advance as I have lots of them.
Is the metformin to replace the clomid?

Supersunnyday - how was the appointment?

Hope everyone else is ok x

Hi ladies. Welcome to all the newbies. I will post properly over weekend.
fairy I can't really remember going off food but I had a very dodgy tummy which stopped me eating. It only lasted a week or so. How's the weight loss going?
lady I had sickness with my second pregnancy and I had a boy. I vaguely remember you posting this but I'm in my phone and u can't see the post. So it may be completely irrelevant :) I have my next scan on the 29th:) DS is starting to feel better about being a big brother. Very relieved :) :)

Waves to everyone else. Xx

Hi all,

Can I ask the girlies that have experience of Metformin - does it put you off some food? I was totally put off my lunch today cos it tasted too sweet. It wasn't at all. The thought of it now is still turning my stomach!!!!

How is everyone? It's filling up again in here!

x

God I'm struggling to keep up here. Guess I will work out where everyone's at eventually. Just a brief one tonight as tired - sunnyday my luteal phase is usually about 10 days before the spotting starts, sometimes 9, so supposedly 'enough', but sometimes the backache starts before the spotting and I know its on its way.... Not really sure what to make of it anymore...

Let's hope for a great positive day for us all tomorrow !

Highheels - It was the secretary that said that I didnt ov this month, I am not seeing the consultant for another 6 weeks, will have run out of clomid by then too.

Lilysma it is just a guessing game I think! Thanks for the info on ov days, I seriously have no idea any more I guess just leaving the tests alone is probably best.

Reallygrumpy tomorrow is another day. I felt awful a couple of days ago when I found out I didnt ov. Chin up :)

Ladybird thanks for the tips, just got to try to forget about the whole thing and ignore all symptoms. I am just concerned that I am not being monitored at all apart from one blood test.

Positive vibes all round xx

Thanks lady and Jobo

so gettng injection at 9am tomorrow and seeing oh at 1130pm the next day. So that should be ok?

V sorry to be so selfish and just talk about me!! I promise to catch up properly.

Really ttc can be so horrid. I've cried so many times in public. Hugs to you

clipclop when i had the trigger jab i went in for iui 40 hours later and that worked for us :)

Hi Ladies

Stac thats great that the diabetes has gone.

Pops don't feel to guilty about ds, i'm sure he will be really happy one baby is here. It's good you sickness has gone, mine isn't as bad as it has been, god i have been feeling rough. It's all good though iykwim.
Some people have said it could be a girl as most people i know had lots of nausea with girls but not boys. Only 2 weeks till my scan on 28th Sept. Will be 12+4. Feeling nervous.

Cloud thats a great level of progesterone, your definately ovulating.

Jo hope your ok and enjoying the last few weeks, wish i was at your stage, must be so exciting. I'm ok, just wishing the next 2 weeks away until i have my scan, will definately relax more if everything is fine.

Confu3ed clomid used to play tricks on me, although i used to think i was pg every month as pmt symptoms are the same as pg symptoms, the month i got my BFP i didn't really have many symptoms. I got pg on 50mg but we also had iui, think i would be trying for the next 2 years if we didn't have iui as we were rubbish at timing sex ;)

Clipclop hope the injection went well and this is the month for you

Really stay positive, maybe they will up your dose, or it could be that you will ovulate late. Fingers crossed that you will just be ovulating late.

Sorry that i've missed loads of people, this thread moves alot quicker.

Feeling queasy now so need to have dinner lol

Ladies you are a huge fountain of knowledge!! How did people do without messageboards??!

My scan yesterday went well. Have three follicles, two on one ovary and one on the other. Going in tomorrow morning for the trigger jab.

My oh works away 3or 4 days a week making this all even more complicated!! So if I get the injection tomorrow morning do I have to bd before the 36 hours is up or is it before 48 hours?
Very specific question I know but those 12 hours could make a big difference!

Any ideas??

Hi all, well I'm having a miserable day. This cycle was my first on 100mg clomid. I had 3 cycles of 50mg, got pg on 3rd then miscarried so I assumed the 100mg would work but.... I went for a CD9 scan today which showed nothing, no follicles other than the usual little ones and nothing over 10mm. They want to scan me again on Friday (CD13) but the doc didn't seem very hopeful. I cried all the way home on the bus and tube because what got me through after the mc was that at least the clomid had worked and I'd got pg but now it doesn't seem to be working. We've had to go private so going back to the cons is going to cost another £180 and I'm really not sure I can face going on with the clomid. Sorry, this is a post all about me. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
