Just wanted to share this with you ladies, it is proof that we should never give up!

wow..... what a journey....

mommymel - when was your LH high? Before the trigger or after? If it was before you ovulated, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. I don't really think you need to worry even if it was after. PCOS girls tend to have higher LH and it doesn't cause a problem beyond not ovulating (minor, right? ). Point is, if you triggered and ovulated, I don't think it'll be a problem, but don't quote me on that.

Ladies How is everyone?

I took my last clomid pill today, so now waiting until tues for my scan... Grow follies GROW!!!

I started up the gym today- I have 5 weeks to get in shape before my holiday, and hoping the exercise will do my body good whilst ttc as I have been lazy lately

ladies

Maria so sorry to hear about your Grandma, take care of yourself.

Scerena - Yay for starting at the gym! GL with your pre-hol exercise and for last clomid, FX'd that was the last Clomid you'll ever need.

MommyMel - sorry can't help with IUI or LH questions but just wanted to wish you gl for the 2ww.

Tella - Grow follies!! Tella's Twins has a good sound to it I think

Cridge - Wow 10 weeks! Hooray

AFM - I had a letter from my FS today, he copied me in on a letter to my GP. He says that based on my CD21 tests I haven't ovulated since the op, and I'm now on CD38.... so he's reviewed my notes and he says that I will benefit from starting 500mg Metformin twice a day, increasing to 850mg to aid my weight loss.
Then he says (and this is where I'd like your advice please ladies!) that I have the option to either go back onto 100mg Clomid for 3-4 months or Fermara 5mg for 3-6 months. I've never been on Fermara before, just 100mg Clomid and I did ovulate but not always, maybe twice out of 6 cycles so I don't know what to go for Any thoughts?

He then went onto say that if I take these drugs and I lose some weight, then he can't see why I can't conceive I was beginning to feel really low and depressed and this letter has given me some hope.

Kyla - I have a theory that women respond well to either clomid or femara, but not necessarily both. So if you didn't respond well to clomid, I would give femara a try. Personally, I responded decently to clomid, ovulated every time, just not great quality every time; I didn't respond well to femara.

I spoke to my acupuncturist about my theory and she said I was spot on (a yin vs. yang thing). Since I'm mostly yin, but partially yang, I respond better to clomid than femara. So a quick way to judge is this: yin is water: cool, even tempered, relaxed, not overly social or active, laid back type. yang is fire: hot, dramatic, very social, very active, passionate type. If you're somewhere in between (I have qualities of both, like I'm sure most do, but I definitely lean more towards yin), then you'll respond "okay" to both drugs.

I don't know exactly how accurate this all is, but in the few people I've spoken to, it seems to be a pretty good indicator.

everyone. Today at 3pm I have appointment with my fs. Let see what he planned for me. In those days my mom look after me very carefully.

Maria - in india i didnt find any ovuletion kit. My doc suggested me about follicular study. In follicular study doc found that my follies were not growing after taking of letrozol. Then he recommand me to my fs. Fs adviced me to take injection and do follicular study. For those injection my follies were grown and iui done. I got my bfp. After miscarriage my fs told me to take pills for 3months. So i came to know that i didnt ovulate my own.

scerena - starting gym will progress ur health. Good decesion. :hug1:

Cridge - 10 weeks hun! Yipee

Tella - just want to encourage u. Grow follies grow

kyla - Clomid gives u some side effect. I think u should go with femera less side effect and body can release it quickly.

Mommymel - Be happy and rest as much as u can. I am really excited to see ur bfp.

lots of to all other gls.

Hi Cridge, it was before i triggered, about a week before.
thanks you for the re-assurance.... i am due for bloods on Wednesday to check progesterone levels again.....

OMG, Tella - that article made me sob

I can't even begin to imagine WHAT that couple went through 12 years and 44 IVFs....Its mind boggling.
It just shows that infertility is one of the worst things in life to be going through...

I know of a couple who couldn't conceive for 10 years. No reasons give, they couldn't afford any private treatments so only had what NHS had to offer (IUI and IVF). Everything failed. Then BHAM - natural miracle! He's 3 months old now...
Nature can be so cruel, but these stories just show that everyone has reason to persevere!!!

Today i visit to my fs and he removed my stitch. He told me to try this cycle naturally. He told me my LH was 4 times higher than FSH so that i didnt ovulate. Actually LH should be lower than FSH. He told me that after OD LH will be low and my fsh will help me to concieve. Higher LH can cause of miscarriage also. Now lets see what happen with me
