CLOMID GANG - the new thread

This should be clomid and IUI (for Katierocket) thread. Hoping this one will be luckier than the last - can't be any worse, don't think we had a single BFP did we?

Lots and lots and lots of luck to us all.

OHBECKY I DONT KNOW YOUR FULL STORY BUT SO SORRY WITH WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH[SAD]

oops sorry for cAPS
i know you can get a + even if your not ovulating, as it could be a surge of hormoans

Natty1806 · 09/05/2006 16:31

Oh Becki that is terrible you must feel like sh*t.

Try and think positively as much as you possibly can.

There is always other options for you and you will get there in the end i am sure.

Big hugs to you - cry lots and get choc.xx

Jodee · 09/05/2006 17:07

Becki, really really sorry to read your news. I so hope IVF works out you, stay positive, even though at this moment in time your world has come crashing down. Thinking of you xxx

P.S. can I ask you (or if anyone else knows), I am on my 3rd cycle of clomid, had a blood test on the first cycle which confirmed I ov'd. Does it necessarily follow that I will always then ov on subsequent clomid cycles or could it somehow work one cycle but not the next? I've had +ve OPKs on the second two cycles?

coggy · 09/05/2006 18:58

I didn't think that you could do reliable opk tests with clomid but I could have it wrong.
I also think that an 'average' woman (whatever that may be!!) doesn't ovulate for about 1 in 10 cycles..so, no, Jodee, not necessarily.

sorry Becki Sad

Trace and Rachee - here's a link to some hcg info. The last 4 1/2 paragraphs are interesting. The rest is just kindof advertixing an american clinic I think. \link{http://ivf-indiana.com/gonadotropin-therapy.html} Never done a link before so I hope it works!!

coggy · 09/05/2006 19:05

Bummer - obviously didn't work but I guess you could copy and paste it into the address bar.
Thought it was a bit advanced for me!!

Jodee · 09/05/2006 19:53

thanks coggy... the Clearblue OPK says on its leaflet it's ok to use with Clomid. Was just concerned at reading Becki's and trace2's posts about getting a +ive and still not ov'ing.

trace2 · 10/05/2006 08:53

thanks coggy, not seen you about muck you ok?

Jodee yes thats true, you can get a + on sticks, but it dont mean your ovulating, also too when you have had a postive, then ive had 21 days blood test and they say ive not ovulatedSad.
and i also know when some had had blood tests and told they have not ovulated that month , but become pg, so heres hoping for us all.

makes me wonder why we waste our money, and it makes us all uptight, i do temping as well and up to now thats worked for me, but when you get a rise its to late! but i like to now when af coming

coggy · 10/05/2006 10:00

Hi Trace - I'm good thanks. Not been on MN as much over the past few days cos it's the 'middle of the month' and I've needed to be available for other things!!! Wink

Had my hcg injection yesterday and my backside is still rather sore!!
I think you are a few days behind me aren't you? I'm CD16 today.
Are you still feeling tired?
I felt exhausted yesterday after the jab but it could have been just coincedence..I don't know.

trace2 · 10/05/2006 10:09

hi coggy! yes am on day 13 no ovulation yet, lol sorry for laughing at your sore arse.

not as much tiredness but its still there, weve been every other night, from day 7, and the night tonight again.

coggy · 10/05/2006 10:39

I'm sure that they stick it in my hip before and I remember that being painful but I thought the backside'd be better with all that extra fat - flippin' painful though...I went all clammy and had to have a cup of tea!!!

Oh well....don't mind a jot if it does the job!
Up to us now!! Grin

Loubie37 · 11/05/2006 07:21

Hi everyone, I did a test this morning and there's a very very faint line!!!!!!!!

Oh I wish I had a CB digital one in the house, now I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow to do it again properly (I need to see the word 'pregnant' before I dare believe it!). Although the line is definitely there, (and it appeared well within the 10 minutes on the instructions)- I even woke DH up and asked him to have a look (poor guy is on nights and didn't get to bed till 5am, and he could see it half asleep Wink )

So. I'm terrified now that it's a cruel joke but so excited that it might just be true....God, how am I going to get any work done today??

Please please please God let me be PG, this might be my last chance.

Oh and there's still no sign of any spotting, which I always get at least 2 days before AF arrives

Good luck to everyone else :)

Loubie xx

trace2 · 11/05/2006 08:21

Natty1806 · 11/05/2006 11:38
Grin Congrats

It makes it seem all worth while when i hear success. x

All the best.Smile

coggy · 11/05/2006 13:18

Oh Loubie - well done. That's fab news from you Grin
Did your dh get back to sleep again?!!

laughalot · 11/05/2006 14:19

Congrats loubie I had a faint line with a boots own did a clear blue next day PREGNANT !!!!! Get yourself on the due january thread.

saltcod · 11/05/2006 18:33

Congratulations Loubie!!! I was exactly like you - didn't believe the positive line.... so went out and bought a clearblue digital & got that magic word "pregnant" in the window. Still can't believe that the 3rd round of clomid (and 1.5 yrs of ttc) finally did the trick for me.... all those mood swings were worth it Smile. Looking forward to seeing you on the Jan thread too! Iona x

Rachee · 11/05/2006 18:38

Well done, there is hope for us all.........

Jodee · 11/05/2006 18:50

Loubie that's brilliant news, congratulations! definitely gives us all a lift. Smile

Loubie37 · 12/05/2006 06:58

Thanks everyone for the good wishes, it looks like it's for real - I did a CB digital test at 3am (I was desperate for the loo!) and it came up 'pregnant' within 30 seconds :o:o:o:o

I think my due date will be 15/1/07

It still hasn't sunk in - this was my 7th and last month on Clomid, and I'd resigned myself to the fact that it would never happen......but it did!!! :):)

Good luck to everyone else

Loubie xx
4+4

Natty1806 · 12/05/2006 07:22

Artoo · 12/05/2006 17:15

Congratulations Loubie, great news :)

Hugs,
Artoo.

coggy · 12/05/2006 21:05

Loubie - that's so lovely to see 4 + 4 at the bottom of your message instead of CD??

That made me smile...I am so pleased for you.

Artoo · 14/05/2006 06:21

Well, I'm back to CD1 again, which means that I've had no success after 3 months of clomid, which was all I was prescribed.

My next appointment at the fertility clinic is June 6th, so thankfully I don't have too long to wait to find out what happens next.

Hugs,
Artoo.

trace2 · 14/05/2006 11:27

i got a surge on day 17 with op sticks. as every one else on clomid, have a late ovulation?
