Clomid: the story continues...

We're all in the same boat and on clomid...

Pickles - no I was having iui and so needed the trigger shot to time it. If you are not having iui then injection is not needed. How large were your follicles on the scan? Good luck! Was your lining ok in first cycle? I have heard that successive clomid cycles can thin the lining.

I did get sickness and heartburn but not sure if it was from metformin or clomid.

Triple. I can't remember their exact size. On CD 10 scan I have on sMall follicle on my left and 3 bigger on my right. Only one looked mature today in CD 12 scan.

This is my first cycle. So I don't know if my lining has always been thin or if it's the clomid. I'll need to ask on Monday at scan 3. Just felt a bit overwhelmed this morning when the nurse said my lining was thin.

What cycle are you on. Fingers crossed for you

Hi pickle - sorry I got confused and thought it was cycle 2 for you. Next scan maybe you can ask for measurement of the follicles (if you haven't ovulated as yet) and thickness of the lining. They do say that as long as it is triple lined and minimum of 7mm then it's all good. Fx for you!

I am also on cycle 1 and now in my 2ww. Really hoping it works but keeping my expectations low as I know it can take up to 3-6 cycles for most people.

fx for triple and pickle. im on cycle 5 and hoping to ov sometime this weekend.

I was cycle 6 ladies (& had completely given up hope). Good luck (yes I'm lurking, want to see the bfp's come in, hope this is ok, will keep a low profile)

Hey ginger oh course its ok! its nice to hear from you x how is everything with you?

Don't stay low key ginger, it's nice to hear your progress.

How you feeling?xxx

Ladies,I'm bricking it. Done some tests, roughly every second day. They're not getting darker. Did a cb digi this morning, said 1-2 wks should be 2-3. Then stupidly did a IC this afternoon, it was negative. Think I may be heading for a mc.

Ginger - the ics are useless. I would trust cb digi or frer more. Have you had any cramping/spotting? I hope it's not any bad news. If you are concerned maybe you can visit your GP and ask for an hcg blood test. fx for you.

Thanks triple. Will call Drs on mon. No bleeding, lots of mild cramping but that seems normal. The 2ww has become the 12ww!

Good luck in your 2ww, keeping fx for you!

london did AF show?

Anyone else due to poas?

kurama hope the shagathon is going well

ginger unfortunately for me dtd today turned into bj for dh..... I only agreed tho as he initiated dtd late last night and I didn't think 12 hours was long enough between times for good swimmers. And it's been 3 days in row so I'm sure one day won't hurt. Ov should be anytime between yest and we'd lol. It's my day off tomoro so I won't take no for an answer sorry if tmi but gotta keep him happy to get what I want

Sounds like an excellent plan kurama

Hi Ginger - yes do call the dr if you have any worries. It may be worth it to see the local EPU if possible - depending on how far along you are. I have been scanned earliest at 5+3. I can't remember your history - have you had a mc before? If so EPU may be more willing to give you an early scan. All the best for tomorrow. Might be worth to step away from the testing for the rest of the weekend.

I'm out of control triple, just bought 4 frers! Will do one later, if that's neg then at least I know. If positive it could all be due to rubbish IC.

Will call drs/epu tomorrow. Thanks so much for support, sorry I seem to be hogging the thread & technically I shouldn't even be on here xx

Oh & by lmp I'm 5+2

Ginger what is IC? I'm sure there is nothing to worry about, but take another just to reassure yourself and get an appointment xxx

Internet cheapie!

Ginger - at 5+2 you should definitely try to get your blood levels checked and you can also be scanned at the EPU. I completely understand about the addiction to poas! I did the same in my last 2 mcs.
Did you test again? I am pretty sure the IC was wrong b/c cb digi picks up higher hcg levels (ie less sensitive) than the ic. So it doesn't make sense for you to have tested 1-2 on the digi and negative on the ic.

Don't worry - we are all here for you. This is what this thread is for.

Frer was negative

I am so sorry ginger you are having to go through this. I hope tomorrow's visit to EPU gives you different news. We are here for you. Do take care.

Ah so sorry ginger, love & hugs xxx

Oh Ginger I am so sorry to read your news. I can't say anything that will make you feel any better. All I can think of is that I'm so pleased that you didn't cancel any of your fc or IVF appointments.

Big hugs and please be kind to yourself.

Triple- good to hear youre in the 2ww also, I should be able to test 1 week today, ahhhh.

Ginger so sorry to hear things may not be working out but stay positive and hope the little bean is sticky. I don't know what the FRER is but I hope it's not the final call on this for you.

Londonblondie - great I have a cycle buddy. I plan to test from Sunday!
