When to expect period - Provera

[EllaMenoPea]

As above really. I finished 5 days of Provera on Saturday to induce a bleed to start Clomid. When should I expect a period? Just wondering if anyone has any experiences. Google is telling me lots of different times. Getting impatient

Sorry moomin just reread and saw you said you will call Monday. Good luck

Oh Ella I'm so sorry I had a horrible feeling that was the case but didn't want to rush in requesting an update. Your colleague can fuck right off - I just cannot imagine what makes people like that think it's OK to ask such questions, not to mention being oblivious of the hurt and anger it causes

I understand the temptation but I'm not sure I'd go there. From what I recall Clomid should only be used for 6 months and after that it doesn't work as well and can have a negative effect on the body. Therefore you might be better sticking to taking it when under medical supervision to make sure you maximise the potential benefit of your six tries. But hey, I could be completely wrong and it's entirely up to you

Have you ever tried soy isoflavines (spelling?) - meant to be natures Clomid and there are lots of positive stories. I bought some but have never tried it as I don't have cycles so can't time it correctly and get the dosage right. Might be worth looking into this?

Having a day out today and dinner at friends then it's home for trigger and DTD. Take care of yourself and good luck for your DH X.

Hi all, I do hope it's ok to pop my head in and say that everything is so far going well for me? I had a scare earlier in the week with some bright red drops of blood on Thursday night, so called the EPAU and they gave me a scan yesterday, which showed that everything was fine. They are dating me as 9 weeks today and I have an EDD of September 11th. Hope it's ok to post a pic (although it's more 'blob' than 'baby' at the moment!

Ella I'm so sorry for AF I think Moomin is probably right about the clomid, though I can totally understand the temptation. But the arrival of AF shows ovulation, so that's a positive. Do you see the consultant for 'next steps' now? Good luck for your DH's SA.

Moomin Sorry you've been feeling so rough. Good luck with the trigger shot. Get that sperm in!

Boggle How are you doing? Did you have a scan in the end?

Still cheering you all on. Don't lose hope- it could happen when you least expect it! x x x

Thanks moomin I'm surprisingly OK.

I think I knew it wasn't going to happen this round so it didn't feel as bad as the first round when I'd convinced myself I was pg.

I haven't taken the old Clomid....I'm too much of a wuss!

Ohhhh good luck!! I hope so much this is your round! Xx

Hi eskimo sorry I X-posted with you!

I had a bleed with DD and everything was fine, so scary though. I'm so glad all is well and you got to see him or her!

Please keep popping in!

How you doing boggle?

Ahh Eskimo it's so fab to see your scan pic So glad to hear all is OK after what must have been a very scary time. Are you feeling OK? Please do keep popping back otherwise I'll be forced to stalk you on the pregnancy boards

Awww, thank you lovelies I'm feeling ok, apart from having the worst cold and cough ever! Have been off work 3 days this week because it's hit me hard! Seem to be over the morning sickness- haven't had that for a week now.

I will keep popping back and cheering you all on. I just know we will get some good news from you all soon! It's a tough, tough journey but every pill, test and scan takes you closer to your baby! x x

Thanks Eskimo Glad to hear the sickness has been and gone.

Well I'm officially on the TWW and it feels good! I know people hate it, but when you've been TTC for 18 months and only ever had two other TWWs then frankly it's a huge achievement and something to savour - I'm actually in with a chance of being pregnant

Boggle hope you're OK?

Wahoo moomin. I really am wishing this is your cycle.

Good luck

Hi Ladies,

Back from a good week in Center Parcs. Took my last lot of Clomid last night so now it's just a waiting game. I've got a scan on Monday 15th Feb which would be day 14 for me. I'm not holding out much hope. I don't really know where we go from here if it's not successful. Thanks for the "blob" scan eskimo. Pleased that everything is ok after your scare.

Fingers crossed Moomin!!

Sorry that AF turned up Ella

Xxx

Moomin how's your TWW going?

Today is CD10 so DTD every other day officially commences tonight. Scared for my scan on Monday. I'm so frightened it won't work.

Ella Has your DH had his SA yet?

Hey Boggle the TWW+2 Days is going fine thanks. I am on progesterone pessaries AKA fanjo bullets which are a laugh a minute - I've got tres waxy lady bits NICE!

Try not to worry about the scan (I know, easier said than done) and keep going with the EOD Remember our lovely Eskimo got upduffed the month her tests didn't show great results.

Hi guys.

How you feeling moomin?

boogle I have everything crossed for you for Monday, like Moomin said even if the scan results aren't great it doesn't mean you're out.

DH had his SA yesterday, just waiting for results....have your DH's had it? How long did they take to come back?

OMG Fanjo bullets... you poor thing.. What are the pessaries supposed to do? When will you test Moomin?

God I really hope this is the month. I am clinging on to our Eskimo's story for inspiration.

my DH had his results back within a week but we didn't actually receive the results for a couple of weeks as it was nigh impossible to get an appointment with my Dr. I suspect you'll be able to get them next week Ella. xxx

Thanks boggle X

Sorry moomin I wasn't ignoring your plight it was just a bit early to be thinking about fanjo bullets....good luck with that

They called this afternoon and he's fine

Wow that was quick Ella - great news!

They are progesterone pessaries Boggle - I think they are always used for women undergoing IVF and seem to be required for ovulation induction too (although they forgot to give them to me last time). I am tired and starving hungry most of the time, and having some ovary type pains. I will test on the day they told me (23rd), but may consider an early test to check I can get a BFN (to make sure all the HCG trigger shot is out my system). It's such a pain that work has gone quiet (I shouldn't complain as I usually work silly hours) as that means the time is now dragging but looking on the bright side it means I'm not stressed and exhausted.

I guess it's the only bonus to paying for private!

Tired and hungry both sound really promising.

Helpful they forgot them last time hopefully this means a more (much more) positive outcome for you.

Have you got anything nice booked in to keep you going over the next week and a bit?

Nothing nice planned Ella as not long had a holiday. Just bracing myself for all the half-term family fun type pictures in Facebook.

The tiredness and hunger is nothing to get excited about... just side effects from the Cyclogest, to which I can now add low mood and sore boons. Feel so bloody miserable about everything and nothing and can't seem to snap out of it - need someone to give me a slap! DH is lovely and keeps giving me hugs.

Must get out the house into the sunshine. Oh and eat some cake

Sorry to be on such a bad'un and hope everyone else is feeling much more cheerful.

Moan away moomin

Hope this week goes quickly for you X

Good morning ladies, I hope you're all well.

Scan yesterday on CD14 did show 1 follicle at 11mm but the scan nurse told me it wasn't big enough for CD14 to mean it's worked. I have to go back for another scan next Monday to see if anything has changed. Not holding out much hope. I have been prescribed Metformin going forward and another cycle of Clomid at 150mg. The scan nurse was surprised i'd not been offered Metformin to start with. Bit annoying really. IVF was bought up as i'm to see how this 4th cycle goes with Metformin and then either continue for the other 2 i'm entitled to or apply for IVF via the NHS.

Feeling rock bottom about it all. I also hate my job but am kinda stuck. Think I need to do something about it straight away as I can't cope like this.

boggle I'm so sorry if it continues you would only ov on day 17/18. I really, really hope Monday brings better news.

How does Metformin work?

I've been prescribed 3 more months of 50mg which is a bit frustrating but I can see why.

How are you moomin?

And eskimo if you're out there

So frustrating! I hope Monday brings better news too.
Metformin is usually given for managing type 2 diabetes. Supposedly it manages insulin levels and makes my ovaries more accepting of the clomid? 4th time's a charm!

Yes, how are the rest of you? xxx

Hello I'm sorry for my absence, but the last two weeks have been very difficult. The Cyclogest (progesterone pessaries) have made me feel extremely tired and fuzzy, not to mention utterly miserable. I turned a corner on Thursday night and began to feel more myself, but I'm now getting anxious about test day on Tuesday, so barely slept last night. Now grumpy and fed up again.

Fingers crossed for your follie having a growth spurt Boggle And Ella if I were you I'd just take 150 Clomid all in one round and just pretend you misunderstood them

Right I'm off to do some baking. Have a meal and trip to pub with friends booked on Sunday, so looking forward to that. Hope you've all got nice things planned

Haha I'm desperate for another but I'm a bit worried 150mg would give me 6! As far as tests and scans can tell 50mg is making me ovulate and DH's SA was fine....I don't know why it's not happening

How you feeling moomin? Not long to go now?

And you boggle? What time is your scan?
