@ItsAlice ye so basically that just mean gallstones but they prob obstructing if your jaundice! Your prob be on some iv antibiotics I imagine and lots of fluids?! Are they allowing you to eat and drink? Just if there starving you usually a good indication there thinking theatre! Although they could do a mrcp but tbh I would push for removal!

Thanks! Yes they starved me yesterday for the scan but I don’t seem to have the yellow sign up today. They were talking about that Mrcp thing yesterday or whether to do an MRI but at doctor speed so I couldn’t follow! This was also before the scan and I only know I have gallstones and an obstruction and the scanning guy told me but said he was not supposed to. The doctor hasn’t spoke to me since, but I suspect ward rounds are imminent. Yep am on IV antibiotics but no fluids, they just told me to drink loads but my pee is so dark it’s almost brown! TMI sorry! I’m going to channel my best bolshy patient impression and push them for a plan this morning. My 4 year old was very upset on FaceTime that I’m still away and work aren’t being great about it as I only just had time off for a laparoscopy in April (I’m never usually I’ll ever)

@ItsAlice hope you are doing ok and out of hospital soon

@lastbany aww I’m sorry such a tough time

Does anyone know if you get results from HSG or just what they tell you during it.. she mentioned when I was there she would get a consultant to look at it today but is that just normal or should I be phoning for update?

J90A · 13/07/2021 06:17

So I put my last period date into clear blue and it said I can do the early test from yesterday. BFN this morning. But when I put in the date I ov cd 14 it says I can't test till Thursday. Anyone know why that is? Both should be a 28 day cycle?

J90A · 13/07/2021 07:55

I've been trying all month not to get my hopes up telling myself it won't work first time but omg I am so gutted. PMS I'm full swing feel so angry and like I want to cry so tired. Do not want to be at work today. Xx

Also for anyone that has pcos do you get exaggery pms. ? My mood swings are terrible and I literally cannot stop napping xxx

ItsAlice · 13/07/2021 23:06

Hi all! Oh no on the PMS front, that’s awful 😭 though naps are good!

Still in hospital, still yellow, still can’t really eat. They are deciding what op to do tomorrow, but of course the possibility of pregnancy will soon hit the horizon (I ovulated on Friday and we BDed on Friday and I came into hospital on Saturday). Don’t want to mention it as I don’t want them to take the decent drugs away when I’ll almost certainly not be pregnant….

alice2435 · 14/07/2021 13:49

Hey everyone, would you say this is a positive?

Clomid journey thread 2!
Luna1108 · 14/07/2021 19:50

@alice2435 I would say that is nearly positive, like 95%. Like maybe the next one might be positive. But would still BD just in case 😂

alice2435 · 14/07/2021 20:23

[quote Luna1108]**@alice2435* I would say that is nearly* positive, like 95%. Like maybe the next one might be positive. But would still BD just in case 😂[/quote]

Hey everyone, I've just done a LH test on my morning wee and it's a strong positive again. Third day now of having a strong line. I'm on CD21. What do you guys thinks?

adarkhorse · 17/07/2021 13:15

@alice2435 - I think I had two to three days before… you could test again this afternoon or tonight even, it will probably come down soon. But I think it’s a good sign overall :)

I just had my consultation meet-up and they have suggested to move to injections after 3 rounds of Clomid. Still praying that this round works though! But at least I will be getting the monitoring going forward. So not ready to give up just yet!

Raindrop25 · 17/07/2021 19:53

Can I jump on your post!!

For context, myself and my partner have been trying to conceive for around two years now. We had a miscarriage 18 months ago and since then found out I have a few health issues like a high thyroid level (which has now been sorted) but perhaps more importantly i didn't ovulate regularly. I also have PCOS.

As of March this year, I have been taking Clomid. It worked in March, but not April. But then i ovulated in June and July after the dose was upped to 100mg. This month, however, I have been getting what could be described as pregnancy symptoms.

I am due to have my period tomorrow, but six days ago i began having cramps, pain on her right side near the belly, back ache as well as hot flushes, sickness (though just feeling queezy, no vomiting) and loss of appetite. My boobs also feel bruised. Is this a sign of implantation, is this how it usually feels? Does implantation usually occur a week before AF?

When I do get a period, i often gets cramps a day or two prior, so for these cramps to crop up this early and linger is definitely not normal for me.

I ovulated 12 days ago for context and we have tested a couple of times this week included an early detection one this morning which was negative.

Are we testing too early? Does anyone else here have a story similar to this?

Also my progesterone level was 45 this month, is this a good level to be pregnant or should it be higher?

Thankyou!

J90A · 17/07/2021 20:36

Hi everyone. I got a BFP for coronavirus  (for the second time this year).

Period came today too. Could be a worse week for isolation mind you  the weather is gorge.

@Raindrop25 welcome!! sorry I've not been pregnant yet hopefully someone can help you.

@alice2435 definitely looks positive to me.

alice2435 · 19/07/2021 12:18

Finally got a negative LH! 3dpo today! What's the earliest I could test?

Hi everyone is it ok for me to join in? I've never used mumsnet before, so sorry if I'm doing this wrong.

Im on my first cycle of clomid this month. It's made me feel so dizzy. Anyone else?

It's a bit of a box ticking exercise before IVF for us so definitely not getting my hopes up.

Has anyone else's anxiety gone through the roof whilst on clomid? Not sure if it's even possible to get those side effects this early on, so 100% could be just blaming everything on the drugs!

Thanks

ItsAlice · 19/07/2021 20:53

I’m back!!! Finally got out of hospital Thursday after 6 days in, I’m having my gallbladder out on 7 august (specifically booked as I reckon that is going to be CD15 of my next cycle). Feeling loads better but scared of what to eat incase I set it off again. Oh and add to that my daughter ended up in a&e yesterday at 3am with croup! It’s really not our month! Anyway, AF is due Friday and I’ve got low hopes for this month because of the hospital stuff but will see.

@J90A oh no! That’s rubbish - hope you aren’t feeling too poorly with it 😭.

@Raindrop25 they are good symptoms! You could be testing a little early or maybe it’s your body being wierd about the drugs, hope you get some answers soon!!!

@alice2435 ooh yay for the positive OPK, I tend to like to test at 13dpo as I don’t like too long to wait once I inevitably get a negative. That said with my daughter I got a positive v v faintly at about 9dpo so it can be done!

@seathistle welcome! It’s a lovely thread here and helps you cope with the clomid crazies 🤣 I didn’t get dizziness but did get mood swings, hot flashes and a twitchy eye, so it could well be the clomid! It definitely makes you super vigilant for the slightest change in your body!

Raindrop25 · 19/07/2021 20:58

Not for me this month, my period started today 😞

Just a few questions if someone can help me- I have been taking clomid 3 month, the first 2 I took each morning and the last month I took it on a night, does anyone know when is best to take it or does it not matter?

Also has anyone taken those pregnacare vitamins before? Do they help in any way?

Thankyou!
