TTC - Clomid Part 3

[stac14]

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

Hey ladies
how are you all? just on to say hi and hope your well. I had typed a post last night but it seems to be lost lol. Hope your all well
clure sorry about bfn hun, I am late by 5 days but haven't tested as I am sure its just the pcos and cant bear another bfn

paddington I saw hypnosis cds in a magazine I was thinking of organising but a bit worried its just a waste of money, I have heard reflexology is good, a friend of mine has done hollistic stuff but I have never asked her to help me (maybe I should)

I am off to enjoy the sunshine its gorgeous yay xxx

hi all, definitely going to try reflexology
thanks for the advice all.

stac- anything that helps you relax is good. 5 days late hun oooh, the af lady has not sung yet so all to play for.

going to cons in the morning seriously not looking forward to that! dont even think ive ov'ed this month. is it just me who gets really disheartened and sad how do you perk yourself up?

hope and dust to all x x

woops just noticed double post you would think after all this time I would know what I am doingon here lol

paddington you will be fine at the consultant, do you have an idea what your next move is yet? x

paddington - I too have consultant tomorrow morning, Hope yours goes ok. I have booked a reflexology this week xx

Hi Attila,
Thanks for your reply, it's true I don't know if I'm really getting the best treatment. I've got another apointemnt in 2 weeks (at the end of this cycle) so I will ask about getting ultrasound done and also about getting my husband checked.

My doctor is the gynaecologist at my family planning clinic. I'm living in Hong Kong so this is the equivalent of the NHS here. He's trained in the UK and usually the healthcare here is pretty similar to back home. Obviously I'm new to all this fertility clinic business so I don't really know what to expect.

I got tested for LH, FSH and prolactin. I'm not sure what day of the cycle it was, in any case I don't have any cycle so it's difficult to know.

I've been asked to moniter my temperature to see if it rises indicating ovulation, so far it hasn't. It does fluctuate though but I'm not sure if this is because I travel a lot and don't always sleep in my own bed and wake up at the same time every day. I'll see if my AF finally arrives at the end of this month.

Claire - thanks for your support, good luck this week! I will insist on getting some more tests done to find out exactly what's wrong with me. I do agree that testing is the key.

hi all
been to the cons i have a cyst on my right ovary but now something has appeared on my left ovary which could be a follicle. it looks like i have not ovulated yet so while there is still hope im not so sure. having yet another scan on wed to see whats going on.

clure- i hope your visit to the cons was a good one.

stac- if not pg this month 6 weeks off the clomid. i then presume to start all over again!

go back to work later in the wk and my shifts are shockingly long- hmmm job hunting i think needs to commence.

hope everyone has a good day xxx

Hi everyone

Just wondered if I could join?... been TTC DC2 for about 2 years, and had my 1st appointment at the infertility clinic today and have been given Clomid as I have very irregular periods and the docs dont think Im ovulating and if I am cannot pinpoint when!

Very happy to be given this to try just hope it works!!! x

welcome littlemissmischief. I too am trying to conceive number 2. Clomid worked for me last time, have yet to have success this time round.

paddington, glad there's something positive from your consultant.

stac, you never know 5 days over is a good sign!

well ladies I'm reeling from my consultant appointment. Basically he said my FSH and LH are very high and there is strong possibility I could be heading for premature meno. He said that our best chances of conceiving are ivf with donor eggs. Am totally gutted. DH and i need to have serious think through this. Meawhile we go through more blood tests, semen analysis, day 21 progesterone etc continue with clomid and see consultant in 3 months, then he'll refer to ivf clinic if we decide to go with it. Sorry long post!

babydust to us all xxxxxxxx

hey clure am so sorry to hear your news from the cons i think your wise to do some serious thinking and talking. Fingers crossed in the next few months you'll fall pg before ivf. Back for another scan tomorrow and then to work- what a great day that will be! Hope everyone is ok. Welcome littlemissmischief. x x x

Hey clure sorry to hear your news, hopefully the clomid works for you in the next few months. hugs

paddington fingers crossed your scan goes well let us know how you get on

welcome to the thread littlemissmischief when do you start the clomid?

I still haven't tested but I suppose I better just in case, dont feel very positive though

hop everyone else is well xxx

add on to last post it was bfn, knew it would be as last af was induced by my scan oh well need to sit back and let metformin take its course xxxx

thanks stac will let you no sorry to hear about the bfn
cant wait for some good news girlies- am struggling to be honest.

Hi all,
paddington - before starting clomid I tried acupuncture which was relaxing & helped to start regulating p but it got a bit expensive. I'd like to try reflexology.
Yeah it put me on a high too!

Stay positive!!!

Ooh Clure,
you'll have to tell me date of your next app - so funny if we have the same date!!!!

Big hugs hon!

I agree paddington - someone's gotta have so good new soon!!!

baby dust to us all
**

yes we desperately need some good news here

Stac sorry for your bfn

Fairygodmother - will let you know when I get my date through. Thanks for hug today

Feeling like I am closer to tears today than I've been in a long time, especially being surrounded by growing bumps at work. Off for a jolly good run now!

loads of babydust to all xxxxxxxxxxx

Totally getting the feeling about the growing bumps at work!!!!

CD18 here - feels like it's slowly creeping towards a date I can test (although like Paddington & Stac I don't feel positive!)I know it's early days...

Keep smiling girlies!!!

Thanks for the welcome ladies. Sorry some of you are having bad news at the moment, you will have to excuse me I dont know alot of the things you are talking about on this thread as although we have been trying for a while we are only just recieving help from the docs.

Not sure when I'm starting the Clomid as it depends when my period decides to show up (obviously I'm hoping it doesnt and Im all ready pg) But Ive been told to take it CD2 for 5 days and then it will also make me regular and then on CD21 I will have a blood test to see if I ovulated. If I have then I stick with it, but if not they will make my dose higher. Does that sound like the norm for most people?

It will be nice to have a regular cycle because I know the 2 week wait is bad enough but because my periods are so irregular I can have months waiting and symptom spotting.

My other concern, (which I forgot to mention to the doc) was that it took 6 weeks to get a BFP for my son, is this likely to be the case when I get pg again?

Thanks x

Sorry that last message was from me but under the wrong name

how's everyone doing? cd14, been bd every day for the last four days, would be sooooooo nice if we had something to show for it ... Remember when sex was FUN?

Hey guys,

ive been reading all the posts and there is good and bad comments about clomid.

I became pregnant last september but had a misscarriage in december. Had seen a scan with the heartbeat which made things a lot harder when we lost our baby.

Ive now been prescribed clomid and im due to start tomorrow. This is the first time ive taken this, and ive got everything crossed that it will work.

Good luck to everyone. x

Hiya girls

Not been on for a while as been a bit busy . We managed CD11,12,14,16 and 17 so pretty good for us as after 27 months of TTC the fun goes a little. On 2ww now and this was the last month of clomid so fingers and toes are crossed. My next app is 27th Oct to go through next step which will prob be IUI.

Peju - Hoping AF or BFP comes soon for you

Kiwikat - Im with you on the DH thing its hard to get psyched up sometimes.

Clure - sorry about your news. Hopefully you and DH will make some decisions and your next cons app may be more positive. Stranger things have happened though and fingers crossed for next 3 months x

Fairy - 2ww so I have everything crossed for you

Paddington - I go to my local college for reflex ( havent been since Jul as they close for summer though ) They are fully trained but just not passed yet. They need feet to practice on and it only costs me £8 for an hour compared to triple that from therapists.

stac - I havent tried hypno but anything that relaxes you has gotta be a good thing go for it. Sorry about your BFN x

Welcome to BPJSY and mischief ((wave))

Im really hoping for some good news as we are all down in the dumps by the sounds of it. I totally agree there are loads of bumps at the mo and I do fill up each time I see one. Luckily no one in our family are at the mo so bit easier.
I had a dream that I had twin boys a few weeks back and my friend had the same dream without me telling her about my dream. Well freaked us out but would be perfect. We both have twins in our family and my great great nan had 3 sets of twins

Good luck to all xxx

Thanks for your support ladies think we are long over due some good news so good luck to everyone who's about to test or on 2ww. I am trying not to count as dont think af will show on its own till metformin kicks in, but have heard good things about using it with clomid so I'm back on the positive wagon after falling off yesterday lol

paddington how was your scan hun?

Welcome to the thread BPJSY you will find plenty of support on here.

hope everyone else is well xx

hi all

stac - sorry bout the bfn but is your chance over if the old witch not shown her head? late bfps can happen - ive been reading a lot about it! and yes they can happen even with pcos...

im now on cd 77 and still no af. going to go to docs soon but ended up going hospital as got bitten by a bug and had a bad reaction so am on antibiotics now. they did apg test and no surprise bfn.

My dp is going to have his swimmers checked on 1 oct so will then go see what route i take next.

we defo need some bfps on here i think its our turn!!

hey peju the ugly witch reared its head today at dinner time knew I was feeling out of sorts, but I am quite happy (may sound weird) but thats 3 months in a row I have had af at around the same time. soz bout bfn for you is your cons going to give you provera to bring you on? xxx

Quick hello before going to bed

Had day 21 progesterone blood test today - an hour up at the hosp waiting!!!!

Had a weird feeling I wanted to break down & cry when I left...could be that I went on my own in my lunch break as dh had a job interview. Someone normally comes cos I aint great at blood & needles!!!

Gonna try & get hold of the results next week.

Also a bit annoyed at hosp as consultant has changed my appointment for the 4th time & back to Jan!!!!!! Really gonna start putting my foot down cos they are seriously messing with my health!!!

Rant over!

Night everyone

baby dust to you all...especially those with bfn this month!
