Anyone else take clomid & hcg trigger shot??

Excellent news nicci , hope this is your month.

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.

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.

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.

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????

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.

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 !

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.

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!

Hayzee - hope your body sorts itself out soon.

hi nicci

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.

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 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.

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 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

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.

how r u doing without the tabs?

just a quick update

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

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.
