n/p, having not been on it wouldn't know what to say, only logically y would the dr advise it if it wasn't suitable? (lost) take it to him and show him. Take care hon, let me know how you get on. going for some shut eye. Tea, what time is it where u r?

SHELY · 05/11/2004 23:02

(this is a paragraph that got me worried from a website, on clomid useage)

(One final note on clomiphene ? As I mentioned earlier, it?s generally not a true fertility drug. There are clear indications for it, and if you?re a clomiphene ?candidate? it works quite well. But, if you don?t ?need? this medicine, then it can potentially work against you by preventing you from getting pregnant or causing a miscarriage. If you don?t ?need? clomiphene , it can potentially ?throw a wrench into your works? by interfering with your pituitary hormones, creating poor cervical mucus, thinning out your uterine lining, and creating an environment that?s not conducive to getting or staying pregnant. So, who should not take clomiphene? If you fulfill the following criteria, then you may want to question whether you should be taking this medicine:

Regular menstrual cycles every 26-32 days

Documented or presumed monthly ovulation

Normal peak progesterone blood level seven days after ovulation

Normal luteal phase length

In-phase (normal) endometrial biopsy in the late luteal phase

(if anybody has taken it or knows anything, please advise!! thanks! time for dinner! take care munnzieb w/b when you can!!

MunnzieB · 05/11/2004 23:00

best think i think to do would be to talk to him and of course DH about all of your fears, after all if you're feling it then DH must be feeling at least some of it, after all. then take things from tehre. you know your body,a dn it's no good every one else being sure about something if your not 100% on board with the clomid idea. So talk every thing thru before you commit, (obviously not putting pressure on here but don't think too long as i'm sure all parties will be eager to start the ball rolling)

SHELY · 05/11/2004 22:54

my next appt. is when he wants to start this clomid, and soon after at ovulation time, he wants to jump right into the insemination. i don't know if i can talk to another doctor before this, i feel like trusting his credentials, but there is so much iam reading about it, that scares me to death!!

MunnzieB · 05/11/2004 22:46

np, well the Dr must know what he's doing. are you able to get a second opinion at all? or have you asked him if there's any other avenues you can explore? try writing down a list of questions you want to ask him and take it on your next app.

SHELY · 05/11/2004 22:36

very sorry about your auntie dear! ((hugs)) to you

SHELY · 05/11/2004 22:34

thanks munnzieb!! my mom's mom (aka my grandma) died at 40 from ovarian cancer, and my mom had a hysterectomy at 36, cause of problems she was having. early stage signs, so i go for extra paps, all the time, since i was about 15 years old. iam 29 now, so i get extra anxious that i will get it, and not have my children yet ya know? i was blessed to have the one who passed, but i am desperate to have another with my hubby. he is 42 and has never had a child. but he's ok, we checked. i hope this doctor will be doing the right thing for me (fingers crossed), i appreciate the support!!

MunnzieB · 05/11/2004 22:29

my heart goes out to u hon, my aunty died last year of ovarian cancer after a 7 yr battle, keep your chin up hon, i'll keep my fingers crossed for u that u don't have AF.

SHELY · 05/11/2004 22:29

iam very sorry to hear about your friend i wish i knew the song, but i never heard of it. i know all about that mourning process. crying over sad songs and being miserable, becomes you favorite thing to do. i hope he/she recovers super fast!!

SHELY · 05/11/2004 22:26

well, he said that he has no logical idea of any medical reason me and my guy aren't conceiving, and so, of course when he suggests something, i assume he knows best and he said to do the clomid w/ the iui insemination. i ovulate and everything, which is the biggest reason to take the clomid. and yes the internet is confusing me, but this is my 1st specialist, and he's only seen me a short amount of time, what if the stuff ends up hurting me instead of helping, and iam not one to make a fuss with him and ask a bunch of questions, i just clam up and get shy, thats why i read so much online. he's supposed to be a great doctor, but i have no second opinion on this one. i have ovarian cancer in my family big time to, and i heard clomid increases the risk of that as well, so iam stumpted! iam just so happy that someone finally wanted to take some real action ya know?? i pray af doesn't come this week, and i won't need anything at all, but iam not feeling too positive anymore about that

MunnzieB · 05/11/2004 22:24

girls, i need help urgently, whats the new song on the KFC advert?? (sorry to go off the point) a friend has just borken up with his g/f of 3 years and is in serious morning and wants the song.

MunnzieB · 05/11/2004 22:21

is there no otehr treatments you can have? If you're not sure thou or have any questions speak to your Dr, I always find the internet confuses me more! and then every thing gets blown out of proportion until I chat to the dr who calms me down again.

SHELY · 05/11/2004 22:14

iam like 104 lbs, me carrying twins would be quite a sight my friend's wife had triplets, but that was from invitro, so.....??

SHELY · 05/11/2004 22:13

i gotto pay for the balance of whatever the insurance doesn't cover, (well, my hubby does lol)but iam reading about it, and it says, clomid is usually used for women with irregular cycles and those who don't ovulate, and if you aren't a proper candidate for it, it can cause you to not get pregnant, and can do more harm then good. i have regular periods, i know i ovulate! iam buggin myself over here. i also saw that it should only increase the multiples about 7-10%, but in conjunction with the insemination, i wonder if it's higher?? thanks for your help guys, anything that keeps me from going overboard, is helpful.

MunnzieB · 05/11/2004 22:12

what eva the out come shely, the big man upstairs (not DH!) wouldn't give u a multiple pg if he didn't think you could handle it! either way just enjoy how eva many babies you have, i'll keep my fingers crossed for a quick result for you.

Tania2 · 05/11/2004 22:10

Not sure munnzie but our country's would be different anyway.

MunnzieB · 05/11/2004 22:06

I always thought u had more of a chance of multiple if you had fertility treatments, do u get his clomid on the NHS or do u have to pay for it?
