Anyone else take clomid & hcg trigger shot??

[hopefulnicci]

Looking for others who took clomid & hcg. I'm currently 4dpo & could really do with some sucess stories or anyone in a similar boat to me, to help me stay positive!

Hello All,

Sorry for busting into this chatroom. This page has been so informative to me, as I've just had my first round of Clomid and had an HCG trigger on 11-28. I am now 12DPO, 14 DPT. Of course, I have been POAS all week, even though my doc told me not to! I can't help it! I have had positive HPTs for the past 3 days, including this morning. Do you think this could still be the leftover HCG from the trigger? I just went for bloodwork, but of course since it is Friday afternoon, I may not hear until Monday, which will kill me

Thanks!

Lytho, i personally feel that the HCG shot would be well out of your system by now, what dose was it? Stick around we need a few BFP's in here!! I'm back on CD 1 hope we can be congratulating u very soon x

Thanks, hope! I didn't allow myself to be excited since the doc told me NOT to test. ;)
My Ovidrel shot was 250MGU/.5ML - I think I read on here that it was equal to 6500IU? Not sure how long that takes to disappear?
I had a dark positive Wednesday and then a shade lighter yesterday and this morning. I was told that even two tests within the same box can be different shades. I am OBSESSING over every little thing, I feel like a crazy woman!

Sorry to hear that you're back at CD1 -but atleast your TWW is over and this new cycle will be your lucky one! Best of luck!

I'll let you know what happens with the bloodwork

Awww Nicci, sorry you're back to day 1 I'm on CD6 now so am not very far ahead of you. I hate day 1, I think we all do coz we want to see day 72 (random number?) lol.

Lytho, I've never had the HCG trigger so can't really comment coz I know nothing about it. I hope you get your BFP that will be so exciting

Hayzee, hope you were feeling better for your birthday, is it today?? It's my baby brothers birthday today.........he's 23 lol

Right girlies, new year coming, new lease of life!!! All this moping isn't helping me so, of course am hoping (has fingers crossed) for BFP's before xmas for those who are waiting but if not, 2009 is our year............all of us!! I refuse to accept that in another year I will still be in this situation and I am NOT going to let it happen, by hook or by crook (although not sure how you can crook this) we are having BFP's within the next year.........I've said it..............I meant it.............so it must be true!! There is gonna be more BDing in my house than you can shake a stick at whether DH likes it or not lol

Who's with me!

xmas babydust for all

Moo xx

Hi ladies,

Thanks for your responses. My bloodwork came back positive Friday, with an HCG level of 37. We were SO excited, went out to celebrate. I woke up bleeding Saturday though - and took a HPT and the line was barely there, unlike the darker tests this week, and my temp dropped. I think AF somehow invaded my BFP. We are SO bummed, because we had one whole day of celebrating. Ugh.

So now I am back at CD2, ready for more Clomid. Sigh.

Thanks again for the replies, it really helps!

Oh Lytho I'm really sorry that must be so hard. Af is soooooooooo cruel, I hate her!!! I'm for you and your DH. Sending you lots of hugs and loads of babydust.

moo xx

oh Lytho thats so tuff, i've been feeling so sorry for myself till i read ur post. It brings comfort knowing were not going through it alone, & that we all unnderstand the horrible emotional turmoil each cycle brings. Guess we could be cycle buddies then (i'm cd 4). Try re reading moo's post 3 above, lets hope 2009 is our year! xxx
Izzy, Hayzee where are you??? What news do u guys have???

Hi you guys, I'm new here...was on clomid for 4 months and now on menapour injections and HCG trigger injection...is it still ok to join in? Hope so...i'm on day 6 and have a scan tomorrow, to check out follicles after injections.... Sorry to hear some of your messages are really tough...Lytho...thats incredibly hard to handle and auntiemoo....thats the spirit! This is such a rollercoaster....we just all have to think of that moment, when it finally happens....it's going to be so much more special than ALL those peeps who just go.....oh look dear...i'm preggers!....xx

Welcome Babymadness.

Sorry Lytho - that's so tough - there are people on MN who say you're very fertile after early mc, so hope next time works for you.

Hi Nicci - still here, just. I'm out - big temp drop this morning and BFN yesterday, so AF will be here tomorrow/Wednesday. Really don't know what to do next. IVF seems so extreme both emotionally and financially and right now just feel like giving up. Maybe it's just not meant to happen for me. Don't think I can put my life on hold any longer - it's been nearly two years now since I was first referred to the clinic and in that time I could have met someone and conceived naturally. Have my 20-wk pregnant friend staying over tomorrow so may change my mind, but I'm just exhausted by the whole thing at the moment.

hi all sorry i havent been on for a few days but i did go lapland on my birthday which was absolutely brilliant and then i went clubbing in the evening which was great except when i became really ill and then had to go home. I have now got a really bad chest infection so been so weak.
nicci- hope this cycle is the one maybe all the excitement of xmas will take the pressure off and it will happen.
thankyou all for the get well messages.
Im still waiting for my period to arrive so that i can start my clomid again, just hoping that it is not going to mess me up again and that i will have to take the provera again but its still early days as the latest i should be on is friday. At least i have not got any thoughts in my head of being pregnant as the hospital said i did not ovulate so its been a cheap month as have not had to buy any tests lol.
lets all hope that 2009 is the year for all the clomid babies xxxxx

Thanks for all of the kind words, ladies!

I am hanging in there. Dr said that since I had the chemical pregnancy (guess that's what we're calling it) that I would not respond well to the second round of Clomid this cycle, and need to wait a month. So I guess we'll try it naturally this cycle (although I haven't been O-ing on my own). I am trying to be positive. These message boards certainly help though

Thanks, everyone!

Hi everyone

welcome babymadness

I don't know what is up with my puter but it isn't showing when people are posting on this thread so was just looking for it to bump it and see you are all still here.............I am soooooo glad!!

Am wishing I hadn't taken my clomid this month coz am poorly sick now with this horrible cough and cold so it feels like a waste. have been taking paracetamol coz i know you can take that but caved in today and took some ibuprofen too!! Well the SME plan has gone out the window already, never mind will start again in the new year.

Issy sorry about your temp drop, it sucks

hayzee, glad you managed to go on your birthday trip and had a good time.

Nicci how's things, hope you are feeling better now, I was really fed up when the clomid didn't work, was feeling really optimistic about it because it was first month on it so I figure my expectations are a lot lower now maybe I won't be so disapointed next time (who am I kidding right)

Here's to everyone having a great xmas and all their wishes coming true in the new year.

hey there moo, still pretty fed up this end, just can't seem to shift it! i know i'm being selfish, DH doesn't understand my mixed emotions, i think i'm driving him bonkers!!! lol
I have to log on to see if anyones posted, how can i set it up otherwise? & what is bump??? i keep seeing oit on other threads/sites & have never understood it! Currently cd 8 so have finished the clomid again!! temps are all over the place, nothing else to report.
Went out and bought soya isoflavones today, any one heard of it before?? Aparently it works in the same way as clomid does and you take it in the same way too. Thought i might try it in place of clomid come january (once i've looked into it a bit more!) Happy christmas all xxx

Hi Nicci

Sorry you're still feeling It's not selfish beacause we can't help it, we wouldn't choose to feel like this would we. I know what you mean about dh's not quite understanding how we feel. My DH found out yesterday that he has finally gotten into the local police force and I cried!!!! He thinks I have gone simple! BUMP means bring up my post, I think people use it to put unanswered threads back to the top of the list in the topic section. I was logged on but it wasn't showing any new posts on this thread but it seems to be ok now?!? I don't know if there is a way if you don't log on but I doubt it. I'm gonna go out and get blasted tonight, I haven't been out for ages or had a drink so seeing as I have been ill and there has been hardly any bding in my house, I'm getting drunk with the girls. I think a good blowout will do me good. try to feel better hun, things will work out in the end and that will make it all the more special.

Happy Christmas everyone

Hello everyone. Very quiet on here - guess we're all busy with Christmas. I'm just posting quickly as parents will arrive in about an hour and here until 27th. Went to clinic on Monday to talk through options. Was disappointed in them as their attitude was 'what do you want to know' - they're the experts. I just wanted to know what my options were, but it's like getting blood from a stone. Anyway in the end I decided to be referred to the other clinic for IVF. Think it takes about 6 weeks to get an appointment so thought it wouldn't hurt to get the ball rolling this side of Christmas. Obviously don't have to decide to go through with treatment until it happens so I have time to think more about it.

I have alcohol, soft cheese and peanuts in the house and am looking forward to devouring them over Christmas

Have a good Christmas everyone and good luck xx

Sweet message Issy & very upbeat! A very merry christmas to u 2!! Ur right it is quite here (hopefully just down to the time of year!) i've very little to report cd 13 still registering low on the monitor-so far mirroring my last cycle! Hope everyones ready for christmas 2008! Enjoy x

Hi Nicci. Hope you got that peak reading by now. Parents left this morning so I've spent the afternoon getting my house back in order and am just enjoying the peace and quiet. Sadly my grandma died yesterday, so I will see them again in a week or so for the funeral.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas xx

Oh Izzy, i'm really sorry your grandma passed away, mine is 90 & i hate the thought of losing her. My thoughts are with you & your family x
With regards to my cycle, yes i got my peak on boxing day! Dh & i have never had so much christmas jiggy!!! lol. I've altered my cycle slightly this month (i'll post my chart nxt, so that you can see what i mean re the clomid & hcg shot)
By the way, hope u got to enjoy lots of soft cheese peanuts & alcohol!!!!
Where has everyone else gone??? Come back u all xxx

hi all
izzy im so sorry about the passing of your gran my thoughts are with you and your family.
Well i hope you all had a good xmas mine was very busy as usual lol.
Wishing everyone all the best for 2009 and lets hope we all get some better news than last year.
just a quick update i still havent had my period, last one was 8 nov so got to get in touch with hospital and take the provera to induce it. I have decided that im going to try one more time on the clomid as they have upped my dose to 150 and if that does not do what it is supposed to then im going to come off it. I seem to need provera to give me a period as the clomid seems to stop it i think ive got enough wrong with me without it messing up my cycle.

Hi all. Thanks for all your kind wishes.

Hope your Christmas bd'ing worked for you Nicci. I did have alcohol, but peanuts and soft cheese still intact. Hope your ear infection clears up Moo and hope AF arrives for you soon Hayzee and the last Clomid try works.

Apologies for long post, but I'm having a real oh shit, oh shit, oh shit moment that will only make full sense to others who understand ttc. On Tuesday evening, I thought I felt ov pains, temp had dipped on Monday and then rose back to coverline Wednesday and (sorry for tmi) cm went from watery to creamy, so assumed had ov'd on Tuesday, which was CD14 so about right. Had arranged to stay at my ex's house on New Year's Eve and knew there was a chance something might happen, so did an OPK to double check ov already happened and was negative, so when it was obvious something would happen, I explained all this to him (we've been there a few times in the past year so he's beginning to understand ttc now - or rather how to avoid it for him) and told him it was not a green light but more of an amber one in terms of timing, so he'd probably want to use a condom. Couldn't take my temp yesterday morning as at his and things did happen and we didn't use a condom. Last night cm was back to watery and today temp is back down and have just done an OPK and is positive, but cm has disappeared. I did genuinely think ov had happened Tuesday, it's late in the cycle for me to have a positive OPK so I'm wondering whether I'm actually having a anovulatory cycle - I got a positive OPK late when that last happened - or it could be stress delaying it (they say that's common after bereavement). I know it's highly unlikely that one attempt 2 days before ov with a man who's likely to have a low sperm count (38-year-old smoker who also smokes dope) would result in BFP, but if it does I really don't want him to think I tricked him. Trouble is the whole how safe it was conversation happened when we were both a bit drunk the night before so he may not have remembered in the morning when things actually happened - although I did double-check he didn't want to wear a condom and reminded him it was 'amber'. I'd hate to lose his friendship, so should I be upfront with him and tell him now that I got it wrong or should I just wait until I know the outcome? He has previously told me that he 'understands accidents can happen, but if it does he doesn't want to know about it'. Obviously would tell him if I am, but just don't know whether to warn him of the possibility.

On the other hand I would be over the moon for myself if I got a BFP and didn't have to go through the IVF.

Being good friends with an ex is so complicated, especially when you're both still single. Would help of course if I didn't sleep with him!

Good luck everyone. Let's hope 2009 is our year xx.

hi all
still no sign of period still waiting 4 hosp 2 call 2 say when i can pick up my prescription.
Well if u told him and he didnt wear a condom then it was his choice u gave him all the info and the choices so u havent tricked him.
You aint the only 1 having a shit time my hubby has had xmas off but he called his boss 2 sort out work 4 monday only 2 b told that he aint got a job and the weeks wages he owes him he is not getting. Hes an electrician so he is self employed so there is not much we can do about it and due to the credit crunch there is not alot of sparks jobs in the area. Already a great start to the new year.

Thanks Hayzee. That's what I needed to hear, just hope he sees it that way. He wrote a blog today about the past year including what a good friend I am and how supportive I've been - cue guilt trip, even though I haven't actually got anything to feel guilty about as I was honest with him.

Really sorry about your hubby's work. Hope he gets something soon and gets the money he's owed. I need a sparky to check my electrics since I had a PME terminal fitted, but am putting off all work on my house because of the IVF.

Hope the hospital call you soon. They seem to be particularly bad at calling you, is it worth chasing them up?
