Hello Ladies... I've just joined on here and this topic is what I need aid in.. please help.

I am a 24yo, with a 3 year on son. My husband and I have been TTC for 1 year now. 1.5 years ago I miscarried at 6 weeks. TTC for one year now. I get my period each month, everfy 31 days, one time, every time. Very healthy, so is hubby. I have been classified as "unexplained" - my son was born within 2 months of trying naturally.

My Doc has put me on CLOMID 25mg for 2 cycles. This 2nd cycle he has triggered me with a HCG shot after having seen 2 ripe and ready eggs at 21mm each. I was just wondering - when was the time frame to try (intercourse) after having the trigger shot? When would my fertile time have been? We tried on day of shot, day after, skipped third day, then again tried on 4th and 5th days after the HCG Trigger shot. Does the shot, with 2 eggs around, increase my chances this month? And did i try at my fertile peak? Unsure... please help with information.

Thank you,

CoCo.

Hayzee those are excellent follies!! Mine never got that large before!!! Good for you!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Issy, here is to hoping your eggs are good! I have a feeling they will be! How many times have you done this procedure now? Is it painful?

Issy42 · 14/04/2009 23:29

Great news Hayzee. Fingers crossed for you.

hayzee · 14/04/2009 13:27

good news had my scan today and had 2 eggs on my right ovary one was 16.8 and the other was 18.9 and my lining was 9.3 so she gave me the injection. I wont be on foe the next few days as going to visit husbands family till thursday.
wheres nicci i hope she is ok she hasnt been on for a few weeks hope everyone else is ok and keeping my fingers crossed for you all. xxx

Issy42 · 13/04/2009 15:25

Hi, I'm still here too. Was away for a week in the Lakes and have been struggling to keep up with posting since - and this thread's been so quiet I missed that there were new posts. Getting a little worried about Nicci now, where has she gone? Hope it's good news.

Good luck for tomorrow Hayzee.

Hope you feel better soon ttcbby2.

I have my downreg scan on Thursday. Just got AF today so breathing a sigh of relief otherwise would have had to cancel scan and egg collection would have moved back at least a week. Just hope Thursday confirms that I'm OK to start stims then. I have a friend coming up from Brighton to be with me and she's just given up her job (as a nurse) so is temporarily signing on. As it stands EC is due in the week she doesn't have to be in Brighton. Otherwise I have a friend from work who is going to nip out for an hour to pick me up and drive me home and my ex is going to stay overnight, but I wouldn't have the full 24-hrs covered. Clinic hasn't actually told me I need someone there for 24-hrs yet, but I've read it elsewhere. It's so difficult when you don't know the exact day. It's just not practical for any of my friends to take two days off at such short notice. Hopefully I will be a textbook case and EC will go ahead w/c 27th as planned. Getting quite nervous about everything that could go wrong now, but trying to see the positive side. If my eggs are no good or there are none in the follicles, I can get on egg donor waiting list and will have two years to find a man before I reach the top of the list . Can't see a positive side to having to abandon before EC though, so really praying that doesn't happen.

Please come back Nicci and let us know how are you are.

ttcbby2 · 13/04/2009 01:23

Hi Hayzee! I am still here. I check back a few times a day waiting on you other ladies to join me in the 9 month wait. I was hoping Nicci would have said something by now. Perhaps its good that she hasn't said anything. Good luck on your scan and let us know. I have a really bad cold right now. Nothing is worse that being sick than being sick while pregnant! UGH. Its going on 7 days. Every night I say hopefully tomorrow is a better day but it hasn't happened yet.
On a good note the baby moves a lot now. Takes my mind off things!

hayzee · 12/04/2009 21:35

where has everyone gone

hayzee · 12/04/2009 21:34

ive got my scan booked for tuesday morning so will let you know how i get on

hayzee · 03/04/2009 13:22

nicci where are you n what is happening.
just to let you know i have started the clomid again this morning hope you are all ok xxx

hayzee · 30/03/2009 09:01

nicci that is brilliant news im so excited and pleased for you please keep us updated.
issy how are you
sorry have not been on just waiting for my period to arrive after a clomid/hcg free cycle. My periods are usually without the clomid 35-42 days but as yet on day 46 and no sign of period or pregnancy. Im never late but think that maybe joining the gym even though i only do up to 3 hrs a week has delayed it or it could be that not having the meds has messed me up.
getting a bit fed up with it all.

ttcbby2 · 26/03/2009 01:03

Nicci this is GREAT news!!!!!! Keep us posted!

Issy42 · 19/03/2009 22:59

Wow, that's exciting Nicci. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Can you get some bloods done to confirm?

I signed my consents and picked up the drugs today. So much information to take in - hope I remember everything. Start downregging on 2nd and have first scan on 16th, then all being well EC around 29th April.

Hope everyone is well. Take care.

hopefulnicci · 19/03/2009 16:55

Well, firstly welcome sgibbo!
My news is, that having completed a clomid/hcg free cycle, i got faint BFP! Got this on sunday last week? 12 dpo. Only thing is, it's not any darker yet (now ?16dpo) so slightly bummed, but faint line still there and no AF so not out just yet! please pray 4 me. xxx

Issy42 · 16/03/2009 22:01

Nicci - you can't write a post like that! What's your news?

Welcome sgibbo - you should ov 36 hours after the injection and then would get AF around 14 days after ov but it can vary. Good luck.

sgibbo · 16/03/2009 15:55

Hi I hope you don't mind me joining your conversation?

I am currently on my first cycle of Clomide, FSH injections and have had my HCG injection. I managed to have one follice at 19mm, my nurse said to contact her two weeks after the hcg and i will either have my period or i won't. today is the last day of my two weeks and no sign yet of my period.

I tested three days ago and it was negative how long should i wait before i test again? Should i take the result from three days ago as a def no?

Hopefulnicci - hope your news is good news?

hopefulnicci · 16/03/2009 13:49

where is everyone????? i have news!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hayzee · 12/03/2009 11:25

hi all sorry not been on. just waiting for my period to arrive so i can start my clomid as did not take it last month due to hubby working away. How are the rest of you hope you are all well speak to you soon xxx

Issy42 · 10/03/2009 00:14

Sorry not been on. This running lark is taking over my evening 3 mights a week and reducing my net time.

How are you now Nicci? I had spotting for about 8 days after my HyCosy and got weird spotting three weeks into my next cycle too with proper AF two weeks later.

Hayzee any news?

hopefulnicci · 28/02/2009 19:04

Hi Issy, yeh HSG wasn't to bad thanks for asking-tubes are clear. Didn't feel too clever a few hours later though!! And got terrible trapped wind (in my shoulder-ouch). I must say i'm glad it's over. I'm cd 17 today 4 days since hsg and i'm still spotting! so no bedding yet and luckily still showing as low on CBFM. Consultant is giving me 3 more months on clomid, then onto IUI. Shocked really as in total i've had clomid on & off for over 12 months, he wants to scan me nxt cycle though which hasn't been the case for the last 3 months (makes me feel like the last 3 clomid cycles were a waste of time, & maybe they were just too understaffed to scan me then-don't know if u remember me saying my consultant got suspended, which put a halt to all treatment). Oh well, rambling now, least i get scanned nxt clomid cycle (though god knows when that'll be cause my periods only came on time thanks to clomid and i've not taken it this cycle! Hope i'm not waiting too long.
What news have u? It's been a week since anyone logged on!! X

Hi Nicci - how did the HSG go?

Hello to everyone else.

hayzee · 22/02/2009 16:59

hi everyone
sorry i havent been on my comp is up the wall had to let brother-in-law take it to sort out and he only brought it back today. Im on a clomid free cycle this month so i wont really have much to report but will still check in to find out how you are all doing. xxx

Issy42 · 22/02/2009 01:32

Hi ttcbby2 lovely to hear from you and thanks for your good wishes. Nice to know you're checking in on us. Glad you're having a good pregnancy.

Nicci - sorry you're having a confusing AF. Are you temping? Just clutching at straws and not wanting to get your hopes up but wondering if you might be pg and having implantation bleeding not period. If there's any chance you should check before your HSG next week as you can't have it if you are. Good luck on Tuesday - be thinking of you.

How are you doing Hayzee?

ttcbby2 · 21/02/2009 23:54

Hi Nicci!
I am here. I read up on you all every few days! I am praying real hard you guys get your BFP soon.
This pregnancy is so much diff than my last! I am not sick nearly as much and I feel so much better. Thank God because I don't know how I would do it and chase around a 2 year old all day!
Keep on trying ladies! Talk to you all soon!

hopefulnicci · 19/02/2009 21:25

I've had the most bizarre period this month. Finished on cd 5 then nothing till last night when it was back again on wiping b4 i went to bed. So i put a tampon in, & this morning it was clear?! mild brown spotting at times today (cd8) normally only have 3 day AF. All sorts of sharp twinges felt too, & i've had a headache fo rthe last 4 days-my hormones must be up the wall!!!!
Issy i think it's gr8 ur involved in the trial, the more scans the better as far as i'm concerned. ur post was really interesting.
Hayzee, where r u?
Where's everyone else gone 2? X

Issy42 · 18/02/2009 00:11

Hi Nicci. Thanks for asking. Have to wait 7 working days for results, but consultant seemed positive. I've signed up for a research project which means I'll have lots of extra scans and bloods (day 2-5, day 12-14, day 19-21, day of trigger, at egg collection, 7 days after embryo transfer) but nice to put something back, half of them done anyway and will also get scanned every 4 weeks from 12 weeks if get pg, which feels really reassuring. Longest gap would be from 7 week confirmation scan to 12 week one. The research is about blood flow to womb pre-pregnancy as indicator of poor nutrition from placenta to baby and I was one of those babies - mild case - was 5lb5oz @ 3 days late. Also means I'm not doing nothing in this long wait to start injecting in April. Unfortunately they haven't had a cancellation.
Hope you're OK.
