Anyone else take clomid & hcg trigger shot??

hi all
had another scan today she said she can see an egg but it is only 8mm whereas last time on day 14 it was 13mm so looks like it might not be working, gotta go back on monday for another scan just to see if it is growing but just taking its time this month. My fertility nurse also said that after my 6 months of clomid i might be able to have ovarian drilling to improve my chances.
nicci im so pleased u managed to get ur precription lets hope it works.
issy lets hope that this is ur lucky month.

Thanks Nicci.

Just saw this thread and am really concerned for lollipop. Would you guys mind taking a look and seeing what you think?

Excellent news Nicci.

I'm an August baby. My parents moved house 9 months before I was born, so I was either goodbye old house or hello new one .

If you want to persuade your dh/dp to bd like crazy this month just point out that an August baby means a year less at nursery than a September one .

Injecting some humour today as am . I'm on another clomid thread too and the only person with a BFP this month has just had mc. How cruel can life be?

I can't get hold of my clinic - they never answer the phone - and haven't replied to my e-mails. They're usually good at responding quickly so probably just that the nurse is away, but hope it's not that they don't want me to try again as have to start the clomid tonight. Have had banging head and sore bbs all day, so I'm sure the clomid will help that!

Sending you both lots of babydust for nice big follicles. xxx

Hi all. Hayzee - I've previously had nothing developing as I used to have long cycles, but it does happen eventually, so hope things look better on Friday for you.

Thanks for your hope on my behalf Nicci, but AF arrived today as expected, so back to the clomid tomorrow. I work in Human Resources, but not for a hospital, it just happens that my organisation owns the private fertility clinic. Unfortunately that doesn't mean I get reduced price treatment there, lol - in fact the clinic doesn't treat single women. Keep us informed on those temps, really hope your body does the work without the hcg.

Roll on the BFP's for us all for August babies xxx

hi
congratulations magnummun im so pleased fo you.
well i had my scan and she said that she cant see anything growing although last time i developed slow so i had a blood test to see what is going on in my ovaries. Got another scan booked for friday if nothing has happened by then i have got to have another blood test so not sure what will happen.
If i go for the iui they was talking about injecting myself instead of the clomid but until i go down that route im not really sure.

Thanks for the congratulations. Pretty chuffed but trying to get my head round it all after all the ups and downs. To answer your questions Hopefulnicci, I basically had the drilling, HCG and laparoscopy on 30th July with a follow up with my fertility chap booked for 6 weeks later. (with no instruction as to what to do if AF arrived in the meantime). Suffice to say it did over the August Bank holiday so by the time I could speak to anyone at the clinic it was already day 3 of the cycle. Was told to start Clomid anyway at previous highest dose of 150 followed by 5 days of 50 and that they wouldn't bother with a scan as I was going in for follow up appointment soon anyway! Still all seemed to conspire to produce 2 littlies. Had to laugh as he scanned me at 7 weeks when I told them I was pregnant and he told me that there was definitely only one, hence our slight suprise last week to see two bouncying around. Not sure whether you'll find this inspiring or not... There does not seem to be much rhyme or reason to the whole Clomid thing.

Congratulations magnummum and thanks for the positive story.

Good news about your dh's cousin hayzee and glad you didn't have bad clomid side effects this time. I'm surprised that you get 6 months with clomid and then 3 IUI as usually you take clomid with the IUI and you don't have clomid for more than 6 months. Mind you my m/c was IUI without clomid as I refused to have it initially - too scared of coping with twins on my own.

Really hope you ovulate without the hcg nicci - at least the charting will help you to know what's going on.

Good luck both xxx

My temp dropped right back well below my coverline this morning so that's me definitively out for this cycle . AF should arrive later tonight/tomorrow.

Had a weird day at work. My organisation owns a private fertility clinic based in the same hospital where I get my treatment in the NHS clinic. I got an e-mail from my boss asking me to go to a meeting there next week to discuss some staff issues and turns out my NHS consultant is also the director of the private clinic and is going to be at the meeting. Totally freaked me out. Anyway declared the conflict of interest to my boss and she said that it had already been decided in the meeting she'd just come from that our team is not getting involved. Phew! Really don't want to have to go to meetings in the fertility clinic when I'm about to have my final attempt - there's a limit to how far you can be expected to be professional and having to go there if next time fails and there's no hope left would be heartbreaking. Ah well I suppose I can always go back to hoping on plan A - finding a man who both falls in love with me and instantly wants to start a family with me - that I gave up on when I started this whole donor thing a year and a half ago. Think that's as likely as me not testing early next month .

Hi there, thought this might encourage you. With Dd now 2 I got pregnant on 3rd cycle of Clomid (50mg), this time round had 6 cycles in all with dose increased each time (seems to be no rhyme or reason to what the specialist decided to do). On 5th cycle I was also given HCG jab. What my consultant very unhelpfully didn't advise on was when to do a Pregancy test so I ended up with two false positives which was pretty upsetting. I then had a laparoscopy, HSG and ovarian drilling followed by unmonitored 6th cycle of Clomid and found out last week I'm expecting twins

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 and if that does not work then im allowed 1 go of ivf.
hopefully u wont be taking the tabsin vain hopefully u wont need the hcg and will ovulate on ur own. xxx

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.

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

BFNs over weekend for me

I suppose I could be in the 13% of women who wouldn't get a positive yet, but I just don't feel it.

Hope you have better news.

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.

Fingers crossed for us all x.

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 both,

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.

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

So sorry AF arrived Nicci.

Glad DH's cousin is improving Hayzee.

Good luck for next time both.

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.

Take care xxx

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
