TTC - Clomid Part 3

[stac14]

Follow on from the old thread for people trying to conceive using fertility treatments.

Thanks ladies, I have the docs on Monday, tbh I am a bit shell shocked very happy obviously but kind of can't believe it.

xxxx

Well, good news from my scan today, 2 big follicles and 1 small, so I have had my jab today so fingers crossed!

Good luck with that jo

stac how did you get on at the docs today?

Hi to the rest of you hope you are all well xx

Hey ladies,
thats me been refered to the midwife, can't believe its actually happening. spent the weekend worrying myself silly as have been cramping (its been going on for about 2 weeks) so asked the doc about it and she says its very normal as long as not bleeding. So she had a feel and everything seems to be ok, just waiting for scan date now. must admit I am a bit nervous, but think thats cos I havent been through this for ten years lol

jojo thats fab news, hopefully you will get an early xmas pressie

how are the rest of you ladies? all good I hope xxxxxx

Hi stac hopefully your scan date will be soon and it will put your mind at ease. The womb is already adjusting for baby so the cramping is normal, hard not to worry tho!

Lets hope some of that baby dust rubs off on us!

oh my word i have just caught up stac stac stac i am so excited for you! Congratulations hun wow wow wow! Well there is hope hope all you girls are ok will message properly asap x

Stac - i am soooo pleased for you congrats you deserve it - i knew a bfp was looming for someone and was so pleased to come back off hols and find its you!!

Its baby boom out there at the mo to those that are left and these things come in 3's!!!
Keep in touch stac - we need a little reminder that it can happen for us!!

thanks for all your kind words ladies, will still be hanging about if thats ok with you, so i can find out how your all getting on xxx

Stay as long as you like Stac - maybe you can rub some luck & dust the rest of our ways.

Well I'm back to square 1 - CD 9. Hoping that this month is the one for us. Especially with good inspection at work so have been given a couple of weeks to take the pressure off slightly so home life will be less stressful. I was home by half 4 today!

Looking forward to a weekend of xmas shopping! yay!

Whats everyone else up to?

baby dust

Hey ladies
how are you all doing? good I hope just popped on to say hi xx

Hey ladies
You all seem to have disappeared is everything ok? I have to go for a scan tomorrow, have a urine infection and they want to make sure baby is in the right place because of the pains I have been getting (doc says it may just be related to the urine infection heres hoping) I will let you know how I get on tomorrow.

Whats been going on with you? missing 'gabbing' to you all xxxxx

Hiya stac - sure the doc is right

im ok, filled in my questionnaire the fertility centre sent me now just waiting for them to call with an appointment.

still being positive who knows mayb will get pg au naturel whilst we wait - there is always hope!! it would be a great crimbo pressie!!

Weight loss still going well getting near a stone n half gone now still a way to go but it will be worth it!

enjoy your scan - let us know how it goes x

Hi ya Stac - think xmas is beginning to take over so we're all caught up lol.

Yeah does sound like it could be a urine infection - my friend suffered badly with them during preg.

Hi all, how is everyone?

I'm hoping for a nice bfp for xmas - think I'm on day 13 so fingers crossed everyone!

How's all the bd-ing & that. As Stac said, we've all gone a bit quiet!

Hi stac fingers crossed the doc can get you cleared up - isn't cranberry juice good for all that? Have you got a scan date yet?

yes, fairy I'm hoping for an extra christmas pressie too!

I was stuck all over with needles today - acupuncture session day 21 to help implantation allegedly! Did hurt a bit more than usual today - what a wimp!

Hope everyone else is well, baby dust, baby dust, baby dust xxx

doh, just re-read your post stac and seen about the scan. Well, its late.....

Let us know all the details, hopefully they will print out a pic for you.

Thanks ladies, sorry to put all this on you, but your the only ones who understand what its like to be in this situation. The doc wasnt the most helpful though as she said if it was ectopic they could easily get rid of it, I was so upset. I am assuming if it was ectopic then it would have ruptured by now so trying to stay positive.

hi peju your doing fab with the weight loss huni, how soon do you expect to hear from the fertility clinic?

Hi fairy know what you mean about xmas it just seems to have crept up on us, i only have a few bits and bobs to get (i think) lol

Hey jobo your brave with the accupuncture lol, I have to go for the swine flu jab and keep putting it off lol

xxxx

Oh stac your doctor sounds just awful, so thoughtless (there was no emoticon for looking daggers at your doc). Why do people say these kind of things? I do always expect a little more understanding from female docs, too. That aside, ectopics can be really serious. I take it you didn't get a scan, as you'd have been able to see exactly what was going on and once you get to 5-6 weeks you can see the heartbeat. I thought ectopic pregnancies were increasingly painful so I agree that if its not happening like that than you are having a healthy pregnancy.

I would read up on the swine flu jab before having it, not wanting to scaremonger but I have been reading articles about an increased rate of miscarriage reported after the vaccine in America. Of course, there are many vaccines kicking around and they may not all have the same effect, but do your research.

Take care stac, big hugs and 2 fingers to your doc

Hey jobo Sorry that was what the gp told me when I went on Monday but today the cons scanned us and we saw what looked like a wee blob, in the proper place but looks like we are only 7 weeks she said this was due to the pcos messing about with ovulation, but everything is normal thank goodness. But yeah the gp was a total b**ch so not going to see her again. The pain is from the urine infection and its also normal for some woman to cramp in early pregnancy whic made me far more relieved.

How are you all? You all getting busy? Have you finished your xmas shopping? xx

Thats great Stac - knew there was nothing to worry about! (keeping all positive).
My aunt had a few eptopic & she was taken in hospital pretty quick (this was like 15 years ago she had her first).

Forgot to ask - was last month your clomid free month or were you still taking it?

Jobo - I really enjoyed accupuncture, just got a bit expensive for my liking! lol. But as they say "No pain, no gain!" lol.

Hope everyone else is keeping well - can't believe it's almost the end of the year - just hoping 2010 is the year for us!

Baby dust ***

Hi stac really glad you got a scan today - hooray for wee blob! All on track for your booking scan now you've got a size.

Fairy I got referred by my doc to the acupuncturist for extremely heavy periods (which I do genuinely have) rather than ttc which meant that my husbands work health insurance pays for all of it so far! Its definitely made a difference to my periods and I'm regular as clockwork now so can recommend it.

take care all xxx

hi all,
stac so glad that your scan went ok, you must have been worried. What a pants thing for the doc to say, it beggers belief!
agree with you fairy and jojo wouldnt it be nice to have a special xmas pressie?
Well done peju you sound really positive

I'm feeling a bit down hearted at the mo, don't seem to be getting anywhere - GP don't seem to have my progesterone CD21 results and can't get through to consultant. Think it must be 2 months since last period. Wondering if I should have a month off over xmas as life is so hectic at the moment.

baby dust to us all xxxxxxxxxxx

fairy I haven't taken clomid since May, for me it only worked once. I was started on metformin at the end of August took a period in September and that was my last one but according to the scan my blobs only 7-8 weeks, I'm not sure if it was the metformin or the weightloss that helped. I was supposed to use clomid with metformin but had wanted to give it a month to get into my system, luckily I didnt need it.

jobo Yeah booking scan should be after xmas which will be lovely as thats when we will see the baby properly. The cons assured us that everything is fine and nothing to worry about so trying to destress

clure your cons is a nightmare hun, have you done a pregnancy test? I was certain I wasnt I actually thought one of my cysts were bursting. Hope you manage to get through tomorrow. Your right it would be lovely to get some special xmas pressies on this thread.

baby dust to all xxx

Clur - the only way I got through to mine was because I got through to the secretary at lunchtime & the consultant happened to walk into the room at that moment & that was the 2nd month. We should exchange names as to who our cons are!

Stac - thats fantastic! All I know is that I've had 2 months of def ovulating when I had the blood tests & that really long cycle last month.

Jobo - yeah I found it worked making me regular but I went off my own back to give it a go!

CD14 & baby dancing is going well ( although we're relaxing we've still happened to do it every other day!)

What another quick week flying by!

Baby dust

well done stac amstill waiting well done

Hi all,hope you don't mind me butting in?

I'm new but just got back from fertility clinic appointment yesterday and feel a bit shellshocked. Trying for 37 months, told I had PCOS, then that I didn't, now have no idea whats going on. All tests normal, DH was tested, he's normal.
Consultant handed me Clomid prescription and put me on waiting list for IUI in Feb/March. Haven't even tried Clomid before so feel like going from 0 to 60 quite quickly, but kind of pleased someone it taking us seriously too.

Slightly worried by consultants parting comment that I better have a scan in the first cycle as slim and might get overstimulated.

Feel a bit like I've been run over by a steamroller?
