I’m CD5 but would like to join the waiting game! Cycle 2 after first one was cancelled due to overstimulation.

lastbany · 27/03/2021 18:48

I assume your getting scanned again?? So scared that I'm not b also excited?! How many follicles did they see? I've been reading they don't usually cancel unless more than 20!!!!! Not sure if tht right 🥺🥺

My Dr told me that with clomid they want a maximum of 3 good sized, mature follicles. I am on timed intercourse so it may be different depending on protocol.

I had 4 really good sized follicles (all between 18-22mm) and they told me that they couldn’t continue at the risk of multiples. I was so disappointed!!

i m on day 19. i am already 4 day past iui with 100 mg clomid and ovidrell triger shot

lastbany · 27/03/2021 19:20

I'm assuming the trigger shots are if you don't ovulate naturally? I don't have any trigger shots ro anything actually just 50mg for 5 days boom lol
Ye that's so disappointing @Luna1108 !! Think I may have risked it lol
Friend got preg with triplets b it lost one very early on had boy/girl twins so cute! I mean don't mind twins but think for medical reasons prem birth etc wouldnt like any more thank 2 at once!!

lovelly · 27/03/2021 20:13

i have 2 follicle mature size like it was 2 day beforetrigger shot 16 mm doctor said in 2day it must be above 18 mm i m hoping and wishing to fertilze both i want twins i know there must be some risks but i will try to do healthy staff we have twins in family so its look so cute but atleast hoping if its not fertilize both hope atleast fertilize one

Luna1108 · 27/03/2021 20:32

I wish I had tried now, but they made it sound so dangerous! They told me that because all 4 follicles would probably ovulate, I’d be running too high a risk. I ended up being scanned 4 times (on 4 different days) to make sure!

I have a prescription for a trigger shot but don’t think I’ll need it. My CD21 progesterone was crazy high so think I must’ve ovulated all of them Hmm although I guess I can’t guarantee next month will be the same.

Hi all, I'm CD20 following clomid on days 5-9. Confirmed 22mm size follicle on CD12 and 2 11mm follicles which he didn't think would mature. I didn't get positive OPK until CD16 but just had my bloods done on Friday so that'll give me a better indication. Just a waiting game now. My app has changed AF to 6th April so I don't really even know when to test now! I might test on Saturday if AF hasn't showed first as I'd be CD27 by then. The waiting is the worst!

Good luck everyone x

lastbany · 27/03/2021 21:15

@chloedancer897 wow so your testing soon :) when I did the clomid calculator it said I wouldn't ovulate till like 6/12 April!!! I usually ovulate around cd14 I'm on cd10 now!!!

lovelly · 28/03/2021 00:31

i am have blood test appointment on 8 april for hcg

chloedancer897 · 28/03/2021 08:18

@lastbany well I just used the clomid calculator as I didn't know it was a thing and it told me I'd ovulate between 22-29th March which is way later than I thought and now I don't know if I DTD enough! Also means I probably shouldn't test until 8th April. I might just wait for AF then. I'm so confused now

chloedancer897 · 28/03/2021 08:20

@lovelly I had really bad ovulation cramps and the usual CM this cycle on 22nd. I don't always get ovulation pain but when I do it's really quite strong! I'll get the results of my progesterone blood test today so I'll know if I ovulated or not 😐

lastbany · 28/03/2021 08:35

@chloedancer897 I know!! I wonder if it works out quite late?? I usually ovulate around cd14 so this has confused me as I took 5/10 so could I ovulate that quick after finishing??? Took last one last night! I'm gonna keep up we my ovulation tests there only cheapos and hope I ovuamye before April!!! It says you ovulate 5/10 days after last pill so in theory I could ovulate 15/20 so we already started dtd each day I'm scare to do too much but also too less!!!

OP posts:
chloedancer897 · 28/03/2021 12:26

@lastbany we DTD every other day for a while there but haven't in about 4 days because I'm fed up 😂 so I hope I haven't missed it!

lastbany · 28/03/2021 12:54

@chloedancer897 I know!!! We have done past two days each day and I'm not close to ovulating yet haha! Just gonna go for as much as I can!! Partner is only 27 so hid his Sperm should be pretty good haha

Luna1108 · 28/03/2021 17:53

Does anyone have any Dr given advice on whether every day or every other day is best? The internet is full of contradictions! Husband has no issues from SA.

Just took my last tablet! Now to start LH testing.

lovelly · 28/03/2021 17:57

doctor said during positive lh every day for 3 day but other then lh test every other day

lovelly · 28/03/2021 17:58

i did 2 day later last tablet and the of trigger shot and the next day of iui

lastbany · 28/03/2021 17:59

@Luna1108 personally I think as much as possible! Who knows thou! With my daughter (2) me and other half had fell out we made up one day a Sunday and made up a lot it's the only time we had sex during tht cycle I got a daughter! Haha

chloedancer897 · 28/03/2021 18:16

@Luna1108 I was told every other day but every day for 3 days following positive OPK.

I got my progesterone levels back and they're 107! I'm genuinely in shock. They're meant to be over 30 to confirm ovulation. Fingers crossed this is good news.

Luna1108 · 28/03/2021 18:29

@chloedancer897 mine progesterone was 96, couldn’t believe how high it was! Especially as there was no chance I was pregnant. Do you think that’s a good thing? I didn’t get chance to ask my dr.
