Hi all Clomid train passangers, Hope everyone is ok today!! Just thought I would give a quick update before I get off to work.
STILL NO AF. UC 25-28 now on CD30 checked my fert diary this morning havent had a 30 ince June. and only had 2 30s this year. just told DP and he said He wont think about it till the weekend as he cant cope with the let down if Im not. I am trying to have that approach but I feel like I have that excitement bubble in my belly like you do as your waiting to board the plane when your off on hols (if you know what I mean) He has said he has it to but hes trying the self presavation approach which I cant fault as i have seen him cry more in the 13 months we have been trying than the 5 years we have been together. Ok so enough of the waffle Im gonna be late for work now. So hope everyone has a good day!! Will keep you all posted xxxxx

Hi girls! I hope everyone is doing well today. I'm crossing my fingers for you eveywoo!

I have some questions that I hope someone can answer. If I don't get pregnant the first round of Clomid, will I have to take Provera each time before taking Clomid since my periods are very irregular? I didn't know if the prior round's Clomid helped induce a period. Second question...when the doctor does the scan to check the follicles, is that the vaginal ultrasound?

Today is day three of Provera. I wish I could just fast forward several days and get my period and be done with it so I can begin my first round of Clomid!

sevans I think clomid will help regulate your periods as it creates a "normal" 28day cycle i have been on it for 4 months now and have had 28/29 day cycles for all of them so far but dont take that as gospel I have follical tracking and all they do is insert a camera about 1/2 inchs inside you ans wiggle it about a bit it doesnt hurt it isnt half as bad as a smear and you are far to intersted with whats going on on the screen anyway. i always think that if i catch this month then I will be able to tell my baby I saw it before it was even a baby just a black blob on a screen. I also have a hormone injection which forces my body to release the eggs in the next 36 hours so you have a window to go by. hope this helps. xx

Hey Ladies, hope everyone is ok

CD13 for me today so fingers crossed as this is the 'crucial' time, not much different just had some weird feelings in my abdomen . Having dilemas this week, but nothing to do with ttc so wont bore you all, just seems like I cant deal with anything like i used to as all my emotions and energy are tied up in ttc!

Sevans - I also needed help with getting AF arrive before and was told to get have something again if I didnt start my AF by October (although I did so didnt need it) I was told that the Clomid makes you 'regular' and so I wouldnt need it again as I should expect my period at CD28 - CD33.

MillyMolly - Hope your ok, welcome back

Eveywoo - V.V.V exciting cant wait to hear from you on the weekend, my fingers are crossed for you x

Stac - How are you?

Babydust **

hey sevans the clomid should regulate your periods as it should make you ov, I had to take provera a couple of times as I didnt always ov but I am sure you will be fine (I am the minority lol)

Keeping my fingers crossed for you eveywoo sounds promising

I am good thanks littlemissmischeif sounds like the pains you are getting are oving pains so you need to keep busy lol

Hope your good millymolly

that link I posted last night is a useful thread for everyone to use, just told millymolly about it as she used to use it and knows some of the girls from there too

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ye am fine now stac had a block tube but ut was fixable. so they said i can start takeing clomid again next month and my doctor says she can,t see any problem me falling preg even with my extra problems. hope she right. how are u. and how are the rest of the girls on here. how are u littlemissmischeif how are u geting on?

AF got me in the night so back to square one again. will have to phone for follical scan appointment to day on hope that we have more than one egg this month as only had one last month the other 3 cycles we had 2/3 and if we cant catch with them we dont have much hope with just one!!! Im starting my 5th cycle tomorrow but starting to worry a little now as we have been told that cause I have DD from a previous after 12 months of clomid we are on our own our PCT will offer us no more help. We are considering IUI does anyone know anything on this subject hope all you ladies have a better day than Im gonna have today xxx

Oh eveywoo im so sorry hun {{{hugs}}}. I cant believe they have said they wont give you anymore help? Im afraid I dont know anything about IUI but im sure someone one here will do x x

Millymolly - Glad your ok and can now get back on the Clomid wagon! Ive been told the same by the doctor, she said she cant seem any problem with me getting pg so hope she is right! Im ok thankyou, just got really sore boobs and stomach cramps but am sure thats all normal.

How everyone else? x

Hello ladies. Yay its the wknd , what a long week!!
Poor you eveywoo, its so disappointing, it can be hard to pick yourself up and start all over again. Fingers crossed next month is a good one for you x I have my cons appointment on Tuesday and i'm hoping they're not going to say the same to me. Ive already had clomid for 9 months and now 3months, so don't really know what they will say!
I'm on cd27 and feeling af is on its way , but will have to wait and see.
sevans, i used to have periods virtually annually and cloimd regualated me when i was on the right dose, i took northisterone to bring af.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend, think we could all do with some luck xxx

hello, hope you don't mind me joining. have been posting on another thread and have spotted some familiat names here.
Noticed sevans your question about provera. I have done three cycles of clomid and had to take provera for 2 and it looks like I may have to take it again for round 4. For me I haven't found clomid regulated my cycles.
My background is trying to conceive number 2, I had my DD (now 4) on first round of clomid. I'm 42 and consultant has told us that ivf with donor eggs is our best chance. Its a lot to consider, meanwhile I have 3 more rounds of clomid to try!

hey clure welcome to this thread, how are you getting on?

eveywoo soz af got you, I am in a simalar situation as you, I only ov'd once within our 6 months being on clomid. The cons told us we would not have anymore assistance as I have DS, he offered us the egg share programe where they take my eggs and donate them to someone else, this reduces the cost of the ivf to £700 which is great but we arent ready for that yet. I asked him if we could try metformin as its used for pcos not just fertility so he has agreed to this and a further 6 cycles of clomid which I will take at next af. Maybe you could ask for this assistance. What my cons reminded me was that I am not completely infertile its just harder for us to get pg.

millymolly glad to hear all tubes are sorted must have been scary at the time, how are you now?

popsy hope af stays away for you hun, when i was pg with ds I got cramps for the first 2 months. nice to see someones cheery for the weekend.

Is anyone doing anything exciting for the weekend? xxxx

Thanks stac14 will give it ago have got hospital in 2 weeks for follical scan so will ask then ( got nothing to lose I suppose) Have spoken to DP about egg sharing and he said he aint to comfortable with it but said he will reconcider after our 12 months is up. Im also looking into IUI as an option as you can do this along side clomid and its about £500 a go which seems abit more realistic a goal for us at the mo IVF is just way out of our reach not that ww e are at that point yet we have a little more fight in us yet. So here we go again lets hope the July bus stops at my stop this time!!take care all xxx

Hi everyone,

Popsy - Hope the old red witch dont show up for you hun. Also good luck for Tuesday, let us know what the say x

Welcome Clure im sure I saw you on the other thread but hey x

Stac - what dosage of Clomid are you on hun? Its good your doc listens to you and have given you the metoformin to try.

Eveywoo - keep up the fighting spirit hun, its all that keeps us all going hey?

Well Ive been having wierd belly aches again today. The only way I can describe it is when you are dying for a wee and your lower belly feels really full and heavy and its hurts when you move, dont know if this is Clomid related or ovulation related, but I hope so. Other than that, nothing much exciting happening here lol x

hi thanks!

Littlemissmischief - yes I'm from the other thread too! Your symptoms sound a bit ovulatory. Where abouts are you in the cycle?

This egg share thing is a difficult business. i'm on the other end of it - again not sure how i feel about it

hi stac!

Clure Im on CD14 today so praying that your right with your diagnosis

Are you still on the other thread, i kind of check on both lol x

yes am dipping into both!

Hi girls. Just checking in for the day! Things are fine with me. Today is the fourth day of Provera. Still no AF but I'm not expecting her to come just yet. Do any of you take your temp in the morning to try and track ovulation? I take mine and have noticed an increase in temperature these past four days because of the Provera. Interesting.

I hope you all have a great weekend and I'm keeping my fingers crossed and sending lots of babydust for you!

sevans - I think the temperature shows where your progesterone rises and if you are taking provera (which is progesterone) then you will be likely to see temp rises. I have long ago abandoned taking temp or using OPKs as my hormones are all over the place!

hi stac ye am fine now just waiting for next month to come it was scary at the time

Hi..I used to hang out on mumsnet lots on the TTC threads then fell pg but had a missed miscarriage so kinda left but i have now been prescribed clomid as its been over a year trying again.
I got the prescrition on thurs and the gynae told me i had to get a scan to make sure all ok before i start taking it, he told me 8-12 weeks!! but my kind mother in law has paid for me to get a scan privatly its tomorrow at 8pm, then it will be the clomid in about a week and a half..nervous, excited, scared, reading your stories is helping lots!!
hugs

Hi ladies
hope you had a good weekend. Welcome lockets24
Will let you know how my cons appointment goes on Tuesday.
CD 29 and still have period like pains, tender nips n boobs. Everytime i go to the loo i expect the dreaded AF!!
How are things with everyone else?

xx

Hey lockets24 welcome to the thread hun. I bt your just raring to get started with the clomid, all the girls on here are great and loads of support. Do you have a diagnosis? I have pcos, dont think I would have got through all this without mumsnet

littlemissmischief forgot to answer about clomid dosage, I am on 100mg waiting for Octobers af then will start again, I must admit i'm not looking forward to it, hate how it makes you feel sometimes but so want a baby will do anything.

Hows everyone else? All good I hope, we are still stripping ds bedroom, whoever invested woodchip is a fool xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi everyone. Hope your Monday is going well and you all had a good weekend. My weekend was nice. DH and I went out of town for a wedding.

stac we may be starting Clomid at the same time. When do you expect AF this month? I have no idea when mine will come. Today is day 7 out of 10 of Provera and who know how long after the 10th pill it will take for AF. What days do you all take Clomid? My doctor told me 5-9.
