hi Scamp & Dizzi,

Yay that I found you girls. I feel like I am in your boat (sort of). While I haven't been trying as long, we are just starting to investigate things. I definitley ovulate on my own (I think) and have a really regular cycle. They started me on 100mg of Clomid this month, simply to check my ovarian reserve--I also had an ultrasound on CD2, which showed 9 follies on one ovary and 7 on the other. I don't know if that is good or bad. My lining was 6 mm, which she said seemed on the thick side--again, good or bad--no clue.

I'm hoping maybe the clomid gives me the extra boost I need

If not, lots more tests to come. Don't have hubby's SA results, so that is obviously a big piece of the puzzle. Hopefully he is all good.

And Dizzie...wow, you may be the next Octomom!!

Can't wait to hear how this cycle goes for you.

Also, forgot to mention, they are monitoring this cycle for me too. I go back on CD10 to have a 2nd ultrasound. They want to be sure I'm not making too many follicles. Maybe I will make two and get preggo with twins!

I also have to take an ovidrel trigger shot when they tell me, to induce ovulation and time intercourse.

Dizzie, did you take ovidrel yet?

I do have to say the side effects of clomid suck. My worst is hot flashes.

Hiya Scamp, how u doing? I was gonna inbox u but I can't figure out how to do it from my phone! Glad to see you are starting the clomid soon! I took my first round with no problems apart from a couple of hot flashes in the night! Got my day 21 results today which showed I defintely ov'd and my levels are ok! Am in the 2ww now but not feeling hopeful as got no symptoms!

Im not getting scanned for follies and the dr's never give much info so I have no idea what happens next! I guess I have to ask for more clomid if I'm not pg but who knows!! GL with the clomid!

Scamp · Sep 29th, 2010, 12:44 PM

Hey hun,
I'm ok thanks, how are you?
I'll keep my fx for you

Hopefully I won't get many side effects but honestly I don't mind if I do.
How many cycles worth did you get?

They just gave me one to start with as they have to check it worked, so I'm hoping if i'm not pg they'll give me a couple of months worth but I can only have 3 cycles before I have to have the dye thingy!

Hi Minnie,

It is great that they have already started the ball rolling with the investigations.

Better to get the whole picture early on and then they can get you started on the best treatment. It will be interesting what your CD10 scan shows.... what CD did they start you on clomid?

Fingers crossed that DHs SA is positive and it is just a case of clomid to get everything working.

I did clomid on CD3-7. I had my bloods drawn this morning to recheck my FSH levels. I also have an HSG today at 12:30-to check my tubes. This place is very thorough--they require you do all the diagnostic tests before they try to "diagnosis" you, which I like. Of course it is a bit expensive, but I'd rather spend the money now, and hopefully shorten the journey to getting pregnant.

Good luck this month!! I think you may just end up getting pregnant with twins!

Scamp · Oct 1st, 2010, 04:41 AM

What is it you have to pay for hun?

How did you find the hsg?

I'm still waiting for af, damn thing needs to hurry up lol. Boobs are aching really bad, even hurt when I walk so I know she'll be here soon!

I have to pay for all of it--bloods, ultrasounds, HSG--everything they are doing this month. That is how healthcare works here

It is great care, but very expensive. I have insurance, but it doesn't really cover most of this.

Hope the witch shows soon for you! Well, if you know you for sure are not pregnant

Otherwise, I hope she doesn't arrive!
