CLOMID GANG - the new thread

Roobedoo · 12/11/2005 21:43

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.

That sounds like a good idea Rachee.
I have noticed that my AFs are pretty light and only last three days on clomid.
Wierd.

Rachee · 27/06/2006 11:33

S**t, had scan this morning, and i haven't m/c properly yet, they found an egg in there, about 6 weeks old, so i still have to m/c that, prob was expecting twins and lost one already other hanging on in there, but they have said my blood levels aren't high enough so will m/c other. got to go back next week for another scan to see if sack has grown or died !!!

Why couldn't this have been easy.... now i am P***d off, oh and they have said i am in for some serious pain when i m/c the next sack because of already being tender and open for infection cause of the first m/c !!!!! chuff a duck......

xXx
( god knows what day i am on !! LOL)

Natty1806 · 27/06/2006 11:58

Oh Rachee, that is terrible.

Like you say why can't it just be simple, think you have been through enough already.

Thoughts are with you.

coggy · 27/06/2006 15:21

I am new to mumsnet but wanted to add my good luck wishes for everyone.

My dd is 4 years and 7 months old. DH and I had been trying for 5 years when referred to Hosp.

Told to lose weight then they'd give me Clomid. Lost some weight, but not enough. Then had HSG which showed no probs. Bloods showed not ovulating. Lose more weight. Saw Consult who said try and lose 4 pounds and ill give you the Clomid next month, oh and btw will do thyroid test. Go next month, lost 5lbs, was given clomid and told i had underactice thyroid. Put on meds for that as well and what do you know, fall on month 3 of clomid.

Rachee - my dd was one of twins, that i m/c (At 16 weeks).

Dont give up hope. Dont ever lose faith......

It can happen - It did for me.

Good luck

Rachee · 27/06/2006 21:09

How am i going to get through this week quickly ?

and don't say don't think about it, it feels like i have a knife over my head on a hair that could snap any moment......

I own my own business (hairdressing) so can't take time off either and go away, although tempting !

Everyone else keep trying

Gelfling · 28/06/2006 20:33

Hello. Can I please join the gang?
Sorry for crashing but I'm new to all this ( the chat thing, not tcc ) and after lurking for weeks just got up the courage to do this.
I'm on cycle 3 of clomid but am a little worried. I had a scan on day 12 of my 1st cycle and the cons said I had one very ripe follicle
and that clomid was doing it's job so to speak, but after reading about some of you with 5 or 6 ripening follicles I'm feeling as if I've not
got the best of chances.
Glad to have found you all though.
Best of luck to everyone and lots of sparkly baby dust..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~~..~*~..

Artoo · 29/06/2006 06:59

Hiya Gelfling, and welcome.

I must have missed the messages from people about 5 or 6 ripening follicles, that sounds like an extreme reaction to clomid to me. For IVF treatment you certainly want plenty of follicles, but on clomid just one ripe juicy one is enough

I'm now on my fourth cycle of clomid, and I was scanned on my first three. Each time I only had one follicle, and the nurse was very pleased and said it was exactly what was required.

There's enough to stress about in this whole TTC lark, please don't stress about this. It sounds like you are responding fine to the clomid

Hugs,
Artoo.

eldestgirl · 29/06/2006 15:44

That's interesting about the weight issue. I stopped clomid last month after 4 unsuccessful cycles. Much to my surprise, my OPK said I ovulated by myself this month. I am about 8lbs heavier than normal, thanks to a long holiday back home. My BMI was 18.5 before which I have found out is underweight. It's now over 20. Am wondering whether I needed to be heavier to ovulate?

coggy · 29/06/2006 17:45

I think that if you are very underweight it can make it harder when ttc.

Gelfling · 29/06/2006 20:13

Thanks for the welcome Artoo, and the reassurance. Feeling happier about it now.
Following someone's recommendation I bought 3 preg tests from TK Diagnostics on Ebay - bargain price of £1.80 for 3.Received them in the post today but will have to wait to use them as only cd7.
Got down to some bd last night and much to DH's delight we're going to bd every other night for the next couple of weeks. My cons said for best sperm quality not to bd every night as it depletes the little tadpoles - every 2 days is best.She also said to not abstain for more than 7 days in a row.
Here's hoping that this month will be a lucky one.

Rachee · 02/07/2006 23:02

Gelfing, don't worry, i have been on clomid 4 cycles over 6 months, and only ever had one ripe folical each time...

Although, just m/c twins !

watch out for those moods swings , LOL
xXx

Rachee · 02/07/2006 23:03

2 days to go till i find out whether i have one surviving egg ....

trace2 · 03/07/2006 18:33

rachee good luck tomorrow!

cann anyone tell me there higest number after 21 day tests? mine was 19.

Gelfling · 03/07/2006 20:13

Got everything crossed for you Rachee. Is the scan tomorrow ?
Hugs

ShouldKnowByFriday · 04/07/2006 05:16

Oooooh Rachee, so you could still be preg after all. Fingers crossed for you.

Rachee · 04/07/2006 20:29

Well, not good, had scan and other egg is dead, mishaped and no bigger. They are going to let it happen naturally, but i was offered op or drugs.... said no, but may change my mind by next week if still the same. Been told they won't put me back on clomid for 2-3 months! and not try naturally in the mean time either, swear-word! all i want is to try again now....

Good luck everyone, i want some good news please

xXx

Natty1806 · 04/07/2006 20:37

Sorry to hear that.

Artoo · 05/07/2006 07:14

Rachee, really sorry to hear the news.

On the positive side, I have heard manay occasions of women getting pg quickly after m/c. It's as if the body now knows what to do, and can get on with it quicker. I really hope it works that way for you.

Hugs,
Artoo.
