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

Oh Boggle I really hope you get good news - thinking of you

boggle I have everything crossed for you!!

Good luck boggle! Really hope your ovaries are wide awake and on the go!

Unfortunately, mine still seem to be asleep I called the hospital for the results of the blood tests I had on Friday and the progesterone level was only 14, so the last round of 150mg of Clomid probably hasn't worked. She said I was due a follow up appointment with the consultant, and so I've got that booked in for 21st Jan. No idea what they will suggest, as I did ask the secretary about injections, but she didn't seem to think that he'd offer these. Anyone got any ideas? X

Lots of follicles, no dominant one. Most of them were like 7mm which is obviously not big enough for where I am in my cycle. Got another scan next Wednesday but i'll be starting cycle 3, 150mg Clomid in January. I DO have a good womb lining though which I guess I can use as my silver red lining.

Feeling gutted. :(

What cycle day are you boggle?

Mine were 7mm on around day 12 still but I ovulated on day 18 as I had a thick womb lining.

eskimo I'm so sorry I'm not sure. Can you call for more advice? January feels a long way for you to wait with no answers.

This is all so frustrating isn't it. I just don't understand why I've ovulated both times before but not this time. I still have no AF and no BFP. The clinic were useless when I called and just said they would prescribe more Provera but couldn't answer why I had a positive OPK and loads of AF pains but haven't come on.

Hi Ella today is day CD14. I've got another scan in a week on CD21 to see if there are any changes. I'm not holding my breath. She was pleased with my womb lining so I guess that's something. Xxx

If they grow 2mm a day from now you could still ov on day 20 which isn't that late, it would mean a 34 day cycle which for many is the norm.

Don't lose all hope yet.

I guess we wait and see what next week's scan brings and keep trying in the meantime. If I get to CD35 I have to test and then start Provera again if AF doesn't turn up.

Thanks for your help Ella i'm trying to stay positive xxx

Hang on in there Boggle as a good lining only forms of the follies are growing well

Thank you Moomin - really trying to stay positive. Not the news we wanted just before Christmas but we'll see what happens xxx

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas?

How you feeling about tomorrow boggle?

Hello ladies. Today, I POAS, because my boobs hurt so much this morning! And I got a BFP! I am still in total shock. Since coming off BC last November, I have had no natural AF; was on the third try of 150mg clomid; and holding out no hope whatsoever because my progesterone on CD21 was a measly 14!

Went out this afternoon to get a digi (as have been at work all day!) and here it is!

We DTD on CD11, CD12, CD15 and CD17, and it must have been the last one that did it! Keep going ladies, there is hope for everyone if I can get pregnant! Thank you so, so much for your support, advice and hand-holding over these last few months. You are all amazing!

WAHOOOOOO!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Oh I am so happy for you! Happy 2016, I wish you the most uneventful 9 months!

ESKIMO!!!!!

OMG I am so, so pleased for you

Congratulations - you so deserve this X.

Thank you so, so much. Honestly, I had very little hope for this time round. I still have my consultant's appointment booked for 21st Jan! Keep going, keep getting that sperm in, and don't lose hope. You're all amazing and you will get there! Much love x x x

Congratulations Eskimo this is such lovely news to return back to! How many weeks are you? Please keep us updated. Xxx

Cycle 2 didn't work for me so now waiting to start cycle 3 with 150mg of Clomid. After that I don't know what's next as our scan nurse said there's no point doing a HyCoSy if i'm not even ovulating. IVF feels evening closer.

How's everything going Ella and Moomin xxx

Hey Boggle thanks for asking and I'm sorry to hear Clomid hasn't worked its magic, yet.

I had a planning appointment for round two of Menopur injections this week. As normal I wait until day 35 (18th January I think) and assuming BFN then we crack on (my lining will probably be so thin there is no need to take Provera). Have been feeling really down about it all (just so hopeless and relentless), but feel slightly better today. My clinic say injections usually work on the third round. I know beggars can't be choosers, but I so want to get pregnant and give birth this year!

I've just got AF naturally so on day 2 of Clomid....again.

Good luck for your appointments.

Sorry to hear clomid didn't work, was that 100?

It is relentless isn't it Moomin? I'm so tired of it all already. Just lost a lot of hope of Clomid working.

Last round was 100mg Ella so this round is my last chance on 150mg before reviewing the situation. Good luck with this round of Clomid.

This is the last one before more tests, more waiting and more money! So I really really really want it to work.

Are you guys taking anything diet wise to help you along? I haven't been looking after myself that much over Christmas!

I need to lose 2 stone really. So being eating healthy since Monday, doing dry January and i'm starting Zumba with my DSis and DSIL tonight. I'm hoping it'll aid this round... Fingers crossed.

I added Maca and Royal Jelly to my long and very expensive list of vitamins this time last year. I think they help the eggs or something - don't recall but I was adequately convinced at the time to fork out for them - they are tres spendy!

I also cranked up the amount of protein I was eating (practically none) and massively reduced my sugar intake (bad biscuit habit). Oh and I was told to pretty much quit the gym which was a shock as I'd been religiously going three times a week for about 10 years at that point. I've had several months when I haven't been at all, but it's not good for the figure / wellbeing and since my failed ovulation induction I've been more regularly than ever before. Luckily I build muscle easily so beginning to look/feel better, but know I need to reduce exercise again in time for next round of OI. All the advice on my condition says I should cut exercise completely and go 'all in' by eating thousands of calories a day... as someone how counts every calorie that is my worst nightmare.

I have to say I'm increasingly bitter and twisted about our situation and I'm a regular lurker on the 'mind numbing boredom of infertility' thread. Even 'baby on board' signs enrage me - ooh get you and your fertility

Thanks moomin I'll add them to my list.

I had a read of the other thread, although I am incredibly blessed to have DD so much resonated with me.

Especially the bitterness of other people's pregnancy announcements.

How are you all doing?

Hope everything is going well for you eskimo (your pregnancy announcement doesn't count, I'm happy for any of you!! )

Hi there, you lovely, lovely lot. I am still here, checking in on you all and silently cheering you on.

Moomin and Ella I can totally relate to the pregnancy announcements and the bitter feeling. I've lost track of how many FB friends I have 'unfollowed' because of this very reason.

Ella Good luck with this round of clomid. Really hope that this is 'The One!'

Boggle 150 mg was what did it for me (but only twice out of the three times I took it), so hope it's lucky for you too. My work-shy ovaries needed a good kick up the arse and that dosage seem to do it.

Moomin Good luck with the injections. Really hope that it's third time lucky and that you get your 2016 baby.

Just a quick update from me. I think I am 6 weeks today, but with a lack of cycles and no charting / opks, I really don't know! My consultant has booked me in for a (very) early scan next Tuesday, when I think I will be 7 weeks, so I'm terrified and excited at the same time,

I am still very pessimistic and eternally Googling all kinds of impending doom. The slightest thing sets me off, from thinking about the perils of a thin clomid related lining, to considering any damage I did on New Year's Eve when I got very drunk, to thinking that I have done all kinds of hideous things by having a bath that was a few degrees too hot I'm on knicker watch every time I go to the loo. It doesn't help that I seem to have 0 symptoms except for sporadically sore boobs.

Anyhoo, that's enough me, me, me. I'm still here for you lot and still rooting that all of you will have some good news soon! x x x
