Clomid journey thread 2!

[lastbany]

So I thought I would start a new thread as we reached 1k comments so can't post!!! @chloedancer897 @Luna1108 sorry will try tag others !
anyway my app says af in 4 days I'm so emotional today! Over thinking even thinking is it right for my and partner to go forward together! I know I could test but I'm just not mentally prepared too 😢

Hello hope everyone is well. I'm CD 13 and my opks are totally negative and not had an ewcm wither. I'm back on urine tracking 🤦‍♀️ I'm going to phone and ask next week if I can just get a blood test if I know I haven't ovulated by bbt and opk by then coz the urine tracking takes so long it's stupid when you can find out that day. Xx

@J90A I'm in the same boat again this month cd17 here and haven't had much of an Lh rise at all! Hoping it'll happen soon though xx

Hi ladies. On Saturday (just gone) my period came, which marks the end of my Clomid journey . I used Clomid for 6 months and unfortunately I didn't get a single BFP. I suspect I have rubbish egg quality but my only way to find out will be through the IVF process... which is my next step. Thank you for all your support xx and I and wishing that Clomid works for you xx you totally deserve it!

@Kay00 good luck on the ivf! Your eggs may be just fine could just be a sperm meets egg thing. I'm Starting to think my only option left will be ivf and probably with a donor egg as mine seem to be totally duff, I'll be 43 on Monday so feeling totally rubbish about it all

@Kay00 really sorry that your clomid journey has ended. Good luck with ivf! I am on the waiting list and suspecting that I will need
Ivf too. Never had a BFP either. The good thing is they do more investigations with ivf so hopefully get more answers! Xxx

I'm on CD23 due AF next week. I'm sure I've ovulated as I've had all the symptoms but I've had pms for the last few days and feel no different to any other month so I doubt I will get a BFP and need ivf. Xx

@J90A I'm cd26 today and still not ovulated on 100mg 🙄 I'm in the point of wondering if there is a point! Xx

@Marvellouslymadmum it's such a rubbish journey eh? I don't even feel the urge to test anymore coz there literally no point. Xx

@J90A so rubbish, 4 years with not a sniff of a bfp and no matter what I do I can't lose any weight so if it's that it'll never happen!! Xx

@Marvellouslymadmum I know I've never had a line in my life. Well except that time I had a false positive 🤦‍♀️ I go to slimming world it's really good and supportive I also go to fitness classes. Speeds up the metabolism as well. Xx

@J90A I struggle with things like slimming world, as I'm a vegetarian finding actual healthy meals can be a nightmare! I do exercise classes too, I think I have a thyroid issue though I've been tested and it's coke back fine 🤷🏼‍♀️ xx

@Marvellouslymadmum ah really you should get tested. Do you have pcos ? I put on eight so quickly with that I've been taking myo-insitol which helps with blood sugar xxx

@J90A I've had a blood test for tsh which came back ok, but I know it doesn't always get raised so I don't know how else they check. I don't know about the pcos it's a possibility I do have adenomyosis and possible endometriosis though so that would've help either! Xx

AF arrived for me yesterday. I've been so down and crying ever since. My oh just keeps telling me to be positive. How can I tho. 💔

I'm sorry to hear. I've pcos and endometriosis. I came from broken home. I had miscarriage last year and have been trying to conceive since then. I'm taking clomid. All I want is my own family. But it is just not happening. I cannot afford IVF. It's heart breaking. But it is nice to hear I am not alone.

@J90A hugs xxx

@J90A I'm sorry you're so down, I get the same at af time too some months, I usually find it passes after a couple of days when I decide onward to the next cycle! Xx

That's good way to see it. Keep the spirits up

Thank you all. I'm the same I usually feel better. I feel slightly better now. Been crying all weekend. I think I was so sad this time as it was my first month on leterzole and didn't work. Surprise surprise. Also being around new babies kills me. I'm going to focus on prep for ivf now and try to not think about anything else. Xx

@J90A I was similarly upset when my first round of Clomid didn't work. Hopefully the 2nd will work for you xx Your Estrogen should be picking up now, which always makes me feel a bit better... thank the starts for Estrogen!! it really is the best of our hormones!

@J90A hope you're feeling better now xx

@Kay00 I believe I have too much oestrogen 🤦🏼‍♀️ probably the reason I'm a glass half full/never give up type 😂 but not good in the ttc process!

@Marvellouslymadmum haha... I'm starting to wonder if I am similar... Clearly my progesterone is useless (I spot from about 7dpo onwards) and I'm always feeling pretty upbeat

@Kay00 @Marvellouslymadmum

I must be the opposite! I'm always miserable 😂😂 xx

@Kay00 @J90A apparently being overweight causes extra oestrogen so I'm blaming that, I've never been as unhappy with my weight as I am now and totally blaming all the ttc issues on that (not my recently increased age) because I can do something about my weight - hopefully! 😂😂 xx

@J90A haha!

@Marvellouslymadmum I can't blame my weight, although I used to be much bigger (size 18/20, I'm size 10 now) which I assume was something to do with my PCOS. But I have to be on a constant diet, because I put weight on so easily... it really sucks... because I LOVE to eat cake

@Kay00 that's amazing! I used to be a size 10 but now a 14 and can't seem to shift it !! Nothing I do seems to help get rid of it but I'm determined xx
