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

There is still time. Maybe they just need a weekend! Fingers crossed we both get good news on Monday! Keep smiling Xxx

Good luck tomorrow boggle xx

Thanks Boggle and all the best for your scan tomorrow :)

Things aren't going to plan for me - AF only lasted one day so not started Menopur injections (they were due to commence on day two). Need to call the clinic and see what happens next. Very frustrated as I was so excited about starting this next course of treatment.

Oh moomin how frustrating for you

I hope you get some answers tomorrow and AF arrives promptly.

Thanks Ella crossing my fingers that your follies have heard about the nice thick lining and have had a growth spurt over the weekend!

Had my scan this morning. Lining is ok but Clomid hasn't worked. I've got to go for a follow up scan next Monday but looks like i'll be starting again. 100mg this time. Feeling pretty gutted. I didn't think it would work but it doesn't stop me feeling really sad when it's confirmed it hasn't.

Ella how did you get on today? Sorry to hear things haven't gone to plan for you moomin Xxx

Did they say how big your follicles were boogle?

Mine have grown a bit so I've got to have ANOTHER scan on Wednesday and if they've grown further then it looks like it's worked, lining was thicker again. Feel a bit in limbo really, she said I'll have 100mg if they haven't grown by Wednesday but said I'd have to wait for a period??? Obviously I'll be pushing for more Provera as another period could be 6+ months away.

I hope your scan on Monday shows some positive changes.

Moomin did you get any answers today?

They didn't tell me measurements, just that it hadn't worked. I'm not holding my breathe for any changes next week. I'll wait until CD35 then take a test and start Provera again and then 100mg Clomid. In my paperwork it said to not DTD until after my scan. As i'm having another scan, I assume i'm waiting until next week now to DTD?

I hope you have giant follicles by Wednesday Ella haha!

Moomin, any update? xxx

I think the worry is that you would have over stimulated and end up with quads or something, but as the scan is saying that hasn't happened I can't see why having sex would be a problem.

I'm going to wait until Wednesday just because I know there's no need until then so DH might as well save them up just in case!

Yes, I guess that makes sense. I can't make up my mind whether I should or not. It's been a couple of weeks so obviously we'd like to but whether I should bite the bullet and wait until the next scan confirms it hasn't worked.

It would be useful for you to know if there were any follicles and their size so you could work out when ovulation would happen if it does end up working, having sex won't stop it working though so go for it if you're up for it

I'm so sorry they were negative this morning, it's so hard sometimes.

It's not over yet though so fingers crossed for Monday.

I may or may not be talking to my follicles

She measured them and said usually there's a dominant one but there weren't any dominant follicles on either ovary. She then said it hasn't worked and I need to up my dose for the next cycle. She then left to check what happens next and asked that I come in for a second scan in a week. I've got to repeat the scans and bloods again next cycle I think. I'm trying to cling on to my cycle just being longer and it's too early yet? I dunno.

Thanks for your support. It's really helpful.

Haha come on follicles! You can do it! xxx

Hello Ella and Boggle thank you so much for asking after me

I'm sorry to hear that neither of you had great news, although there must be some hope if you both still have another scan booked After my lap and dye and hysteroscopy I started on Clomid but got bad side effects, so had to stop. I was gutted as I've heard so many success stories and felt I'd been robbed of another five chances of a BFP. Everyone seems to start on 50mg and often it doesn't work, but once this gets doubled or tripled, it seems to do the tick in many cases, so hold on in there

AFM I only had one day of bleeding and they told me to wait to see what happens over the weekend and to start the injections if AF returns and whatever happens to ring and leave a message to update them. Well I've not had any further bleeding and they are saying it was probably just a one day period and I should have started and it's too late now, so I've got to wait another month and presumably take Provera all over again. After the call I was so upset and couldn't stop crying. I feel like I've completely wasted a year of my life and that I'm never going to even get the chance of getting pregnant (I.e. ovulate) let alone get a BFP. Sorry to sound so down, but I'm really struggling. Had some upsetting family news as well yesterday, so already fed up with this week

Oh moomin it's so shit sometimes isn't it

I'm sorry to hear you've had further bad news on top of that phone call, they should have been clearer with you when you can start.

Will you start Provera again soon?

for you. Be kind to yourself.

Sorry to hear that moomin you must be SO frustrated. hugs

i've missed the boat too i think so we can start provera again in November together. Look after yourself and we are here if you want to talk. xxx

Thank you so much for your support - it really is a great help as no-one else knows that we are TTC let alone having fertility treatment.

I have to wait until 13th November to do HPT and then in for a scan and off we go again.

Moomin I have been lurking and following your story on here, and the stories of everyone else, and just wanted to pop in and say how gutted I am for you with this latest news.

13th November must seem like forever away for you. Can you plan something in between to look forward to? A weekend break away? Meal out somewhere posh? Spa trip? Massage? It will give you something to look forward to and then the date will be here before you know it.

Boggle I'm willing on your follicles with every ounce of my being! Hopefully the next round of clomid will make them pop!

Ella Good luck for tomorrow. Hopefully you will get some great news (and your follicles will have listened to you)

Ladies, stick together and keep talking to each other. When I started this journey over a year ago, I couldn't find anyone in my situation (no cycles, not ovulating, no diagnosis), so it was difficult to get advice about things, but I still found these boards invaluable for the support and the community.

I'm just finishing my first 'real' AF in 11+ months. (Obviously with a little help from 150mg clomid!) Have started my second cycle of clomid. Good luck everyone

Thank you eskimoflo

moomin I wanted to put something about booking something in but couldn't word it right, eskimo has put it perfectly, it really is important to still do nice things and have other days to look forwards too, TTC can be all consuming when it stops being fun.

I'll update tomorrow x

Hi eskimoflo thanks for your kind words of support. I hope my ovaries are listening!

Definitely do lovely things to take your mind off all of this, moomin.

In the next few weeks i've got my Husband's surprise 30th birthday party, centre parcs, my birthday, my SIL to be's birthday and she is trying on wedding dresses too so social calendar is looking good. I am clinging on to these bits and pieces to keep me distracted!

Xxx

Looks like it's grown again so feeling a teeny, weeny bit positive, trying not to get too hopeful.

How is everyone today?

X

Just popping into say thank you for your kind words and to say I'm thinking of you three and hoping for good news all round. Unbelievably I had more bad news today. Can't talk now but will be back in touch soon.

Oh moomin look after yourself, whenever you want to talk please come on

Sorry to hear that moomin

just a waiting game for me. Won't know anymore until Monday but I think I have resided to the fact it won't happen this cycle.

Ella do you get anymore scans now?

Possibly tomorrow if I don't show I'm ovulating using sticks on my own.

How are you feeling? x

Trying not to think about it if i'm honest. Tricky as i've had EWCM today which sort of gives me hope. I guess they don't think it's over until Monday when i'm scanned again but i'm not holding out much hope.

Anything showing on the OPKs? X
