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,
I would like to join in your chat here.
I am in the States but found all of you are going through what i am going through.
I am 13 days after hcg shot. I had 4 follies and one was a good size. I have one child, 22 months old. Took me 2 years to get prego with him. Had one chemical prego last month, thought i was going to lose my mind. Decided to forgo nature and get on Clomid and HCG's to get things going. I am very ready to have another child and move on with this part of my life. I am 32 and dh is 37. I too am a serial tester but have not done it this month! I have surprised myself. I want to run out the door to the drug store and buy 10 of them but i am restraining. I had some cramping yesterday for about 3 hours. I thought for sure i would wake this morning to AF. But i didn't. . Tuesday will be day 28 and I am usually like clockwork. I hope this is the month for me. Cheers!!

Welcome ttcbby2 . Sorry you had cp last month . Well done on not testing - I have no willpower. Good luck for your next test. Fingers crossed for you.

Well I told my ex about the situation today and he was fine about it - at least he believed me and his attitude was not worrying until there's definitely something to worry about. Have no idea what my body is doing though - maybe coming off clomid has changed my cycles. They were longer before my mc so might be reverting back.

hi everyone
still no response from the hospital i even tried calling them this morning but they still have not called back it so annoying so im going to the hospital first thing in the morning and im going to wait until im seen.

issy im glad he believes you at least that has taken a bit of worry from you i hope things look up for you all xx

I would do the same in your shoes Hayzee. Hope they don't make you wait too long for it.

And yes feel relaxed about it now. Think I finally ov'd yesterday, cd19. Very small amount of EWCM first thing (would have dismissed it as lubricant from scan in previous cycles), OPK was borderline and today temp finally well above coverline. Used to ov cd 18-20 before mc so I think maybe clomid has put my cycles back to the way they were. So, let's see if bd 3 days before ov with probable poor quality sperm can do something 8 IUIs couldn't, lol. Something tells me will be keeping the IVF appointment when it comes through!

How's everyone else doing?

Hi all, very quiet on here. Hope everyone is OK. Did you get your prescription Hayzee?

Got my consultation appointment through for the new clinic today, it's two weeks on Monday. Scared and excited at the same time. Don't know whether any of you are registered on this website, but the thread for my clinic is full of people struggling with injections . It'll all be worth it if I get a baby at the end though. There's been another pregnancy announcement at work and in my office again. Very excited for her but just wish it could be me too.

Good luck everyone xx

Hi you all, & welcome ttcbby2! Whats your news AF was due for you tues? Has the witch stayed away?? fingers X
I have news.................................
For the last 3 days i have had faint BFP's!!!
It's so hard not to get my hopes up but the lines are definately there, (using FRER) just waiting for them to get darker! hcg injection was cd 14 i'm 13 dpo today cd 29 so it must be out of my system by now, hey??! got bfn's 4 days leading up to faint bfp so heres hoping it's not playing tricks on me and showing up in my system before it leaves completely. Praying again really really hard, & v v nervous (last 3 months i've had a 12 day LP so according to FF i'm due today based on that) here's my chart www.fertilityfriend.com/home/139770

Where is everyone? is there no one to share my news with?!

Brilliant news hopeful, fingers crossed for you.
I am starting my 3rd and final funded set of hcg injections this month and then not sure what to do.

Really pleased you have some good news.

Congratulations Nicci , so pleased for you. I'm sure line will be darker soon. Just been working late with pg colleague and she tested a few days late and only got a faint line. Tested again a week later and got a really dark line.

Thanks guys i hope thats the case! i went out a spent a fortune on the clearblue digital test today, to be told 'not pregnant' so guess my hcg is quite low at the mo. will keep u posted, i hope it sticks, it's so hard not to worry when you've had reacurrent loss as i'm sure everyone can appreciate. Heres to all of our bfps!!!

God life feels so cruel at times. I did another FRER last night & it came back as before a light positive. It was a pack of two so as it's been light for 2 days i thought i'd do the other this morning with FMU in the hope that it would be darker and it came back bfn. What is going on? i can't help but feel down, is there anyone on line to chat?

oh nicci, i hate it when our bodies play tricks on us. I hope you are ok, I know it's gutting, I just hope it's a false bfn coz you can get em. I'm online if you are still here.

Moo xxx

thanks moo, think it's my own fault for testing too much. most people would stop at the first bfp hey? Guess i've gotta leave it a few days and c what happens. Sorry to have missed you earlier. x

Fingers crossed you get a BFP again soon Nicci. Let's hope you just had more diluted wee when you got the BFN. Thinking of you.

Hi Moo, how are you doing?

Hi Issy, I'm good thanks have just finished this months round of clomid and have had zero side effects not even grumpyness!! Woo hoo. Was bad and went out last night and had a skinfull though! How are things with you?

Nicci, I don't think anyone stops at the first bfp, even people who get pregnant as soon as they see a widgey lol, my cousin did 3 different brand tests just to make sure lol, I hope the BFP comes back for you, fingers x'd

Hey Moo. No side effects - that's great . Hope you had a good time last night. I went out and didn't touch a drop - just in case - but feel like I have a hangover . Think it was just the very loud music - how old does that make me sound, lol? Even my mouth has that hangover taste.

Feeling very emotional this weekend - kind of the way I do in the day or two pre-AF, but according to FF didn't ovulate until 3rd so not due AF til next Sat. Guess it could be connected with sorting out hotel for grandma's funeral - suddenly seems more real - and worrying about what lies ahead with the IVF - assisted conception threads full of stories about how bad the drugs make you feel. Really hoping am pg this month from my new year shenanigans so don't have to go through with it.

Good luck with testing again tomorrow Nicci. Fingers crossed for you.

Sorry its been so long. I have been in denial. I did break down and go buy a bunch of tests 1 week and 1 day ago. It was right after i posted here for the first time. I took it and it was positive. So of course i didn't know if it was BBY#2 or still the HCG shot in my system. I spotted and cramped the next day for about 3 hours. I tested again and every day for 4 days after and all tests were positive. Each day the line got darker and darker. I am not sure it has sunk in yet. I booked a 7 week ultrasound-January 27th. I guess this is it! I still worry about a tubal preggers. Tubals are more common with Clomid and HCG shot. I haven't had any cramps or bleeding since that one day. One thing that bummed me out was my sister who wasn't even trying to get prego called me about a week ago to tell me she was pregnant and couldn't believe it because they weren't ready or even trying and they only did it the one time the whole month. People like that make me upset because for all of us others we have to medicate and hope and pray every day!

Nicci, have you tested again? I calculated my edd will be september 14.

I think i will be much happier on the 27th when I can see things on the screen!

Well AF arrived 4 days late for me this morning with cramps, so i guess it wasn't meant to be (AGAIN!) whats made it even harder is that my two closest friends have last week confirmed they are both pregnant-without even trying!! DH is upset that it's not worked out for us this month & me, well as usual i'm gutted. Must stop testing early, must stop testing early.... Gr8 news for you ttcbby & my toes are x'd for your news issy!
Ttcbby just out of curiosity how would you describe the colour/amount of your spotting?

Hi Nicci. So sorry AF got you . Know what you mean about others being pg. Girl in my office got pregnant first month of trying, just before she started the job, and announced she's 17 weeks last week, so no sooner does one person in my office go on maternity leave (who wasn't even trying) and there's another bump in my face everyday. Sorry for the rant - life seems so unfair.

My temp dipped almost to coverline today so probably getting AF on Wednesday. Don't understand it as only 9 dpo according to FF and never had short LP. Have been feeling emotionally like AF coming for last 5 days though so probably is on its way .

Congrats ttcbby2 .

im sorry nicci its so hard when your body plays tricks on you.
issy i no everywhere you look there are people getting pregnant without even trying and there are people like us who are trying everything and get nothing.
sorry havent been on my nan is in hospital so been up there all the time shes nearly 81.
i finally got through to my fertility nurse and she made me have a blood test to make sure im not pregnant hello there was no egg but they have to be 100% sure i suppose. There is no consultant to write me a prescription so ive got to wait until thursday. Its really getting on my nerves my last period was 8.11.08 when i spoke to nurse she said its not the clomid but my pcos but ive had it for years but its never stopped my periods, seems strange that the 2 months i took clomid i need the provera to induce my period. As i said this might be the last time i take it im going to try the stronger dosage but if no periods ill try the iui. Seems to mess me up not improve things.

Issy, i don't wanna get ur hopes up, but are u sure it's not an implantation dip? 8 & 9dpo and said to be the most common (& successful) days for implantation! My Dr has suddenly decided to carry out an HSG on me this month! only thing is, i rang to get booked in & it's all full up!!!!!!! how naff is that, i've to try again nxt month in the hope that there's a slot for me then. Seriously considering going abroad for IVF (i keep seeing an advert for norway) not sure how much more of this i can go through. Only allowed another month on the clomid hcg

Hi girls. Actually replied at lunchtime but it didn't post. Nice to hear from you again Hayzee. Sorry to hear about your nan - hope she gets better soon. Will be seeing mine next week for first time in ages as am nearby for grandma's funeral. Hope you get your prescription soon, or better still immaculate conception without an egg and a BFP on that blood test.

It could be implantation dip Nicci as it did go back up today, but I don't feel it. Have been feeling too much like AF arriving and CM also very pre-AF. Hope you get a cancellation to have the HSG sooner - my HyCoSy had a 4 month wait but got done after 2, so fingers crossed. LondonLottie on the Assisted Conception thread went to Norway. Check out the fertilityfriends.co.uk website - they have a Norway thread.

Good Luck both xxx

hi just thought id let you know that my period arrived finally this morning so no need for the provera. Will start what could be my last go of the clomid tomorrow im keeping my fingers crossed that it works. x

Yeah Hayzee, that's great news. Fingers crossed for you too. Is it worth picking up the script anyway so you have a spare just in case?

Hi All, Nicci, the spotting was very strange. It was very dark, sticky and thick. More like the last day of my period. Sorry if that was TMI.
Hayzee, you take your Clomid on day 2 of AF? I was instructed to take mine on day 3. Wonder what the difference is. Something strange i thought about recently was before i started Clomid I was ovulating real late in my cycle. My cycles were 28 days apart and i would ovulate on day 21. So i guess the Clomid made me ovulate early....strange. Not sure about that...
Hope your Nan gets better soon!
I am still in denial about this. I will feel much better after the ultra in two weeks.
Today i am 5/1. I am still pretty worried about a tubal or a cyst. I guess i shouldn't have read all the problems people can have using Clomid.
