I want to be able to tell my DH by his birthday and out Anni. It would be AWEEESOME but I dont want to be that person to call and say "hey can I have my Clomid now ccause I am sooo tired of waiting" It is saying I am 11 Dpo now and I am hoping to start soon so I can get this show on the road! and dont wanna test cause I dont want the anxiety of waiting and the let down on neg even though I know pretty much thanks to my temps I am not!! SO AF needs to show her uggie self so I can get a move on!! lol
Ya My doctor gave me a nice long lecture on how i should never let them go more than 3 months at a time with nothing! It can just cause problems! SO ya gave me Prometrium and metformin and wanted to see if It helps before taking Clomid !!

My doc did the same thing. Told me about how the lining can build up to dangerous levels and cause problems/cancer/etc. At my 2nd appointment with her last month, she was pleased with my progress, but wanted me to wait 4 more months to see if the prometrium/metformin combo continued to show progress and get me to a natural ovulation on it's own. Then I saw her 3 weeks later to get test results from my hubby's SA and my pelvic ultrasound and changed her mind to starting with clomid on the very next cycle. Turns out she wanted to make sure that we didn't have any other fertility issues other then ovulation! So I have my prescription in hand and I'm hoping now that I actually DON"T have to use it!

Haha. I am also very impatient. If I could I would be like a mad woman throwing a tantrum in the Drs office screaming at her to give me some miracle drug to make me preggers like... yesterday. haha. I think the longest cycle I have had was around 153 days... then I finally got the

for a visit. Hopefully this is the cycle for all of us. It would be pretty awesome, especially for people who have been trying for a while. Or just trying in general. //hates the waiting game//

Oh don't we all Cara? Ugh. I hate hate hate waiting! The days are just dragging right now.

My longest period was something like 210 days or basically from October 15 to June 30.

Cara89 · Nov 22nd, 2011, 07:32 AM

Wow. That is one looong period. It's so discouraging - especially when TTC. Before I thought it was awesome going so long without

visiting... then when we hit ttc I wanted to cry the longer she stayed away.

mommypaula · Nov 22nd, 2011, 09:24 AM

My longest has been 6 months...Only because I didnt really care if I got the

or not I thougt I was done having babies. I even asked the OB to take my stuff out!! Hubby got Deployed and we decided 1 more and we are done cause we are still pretty youngish. SO now I just want to get this done and over with so we can do this. I dont think my OBGYN has alot of experience with PCOS cause I told her I have it dont ovulate on my own and need the clomid and she gave me metformin and said we will see how you do with that!! ugh I am jelly you got Clomid but I hope it is your month!

I go see my Dr on the 3 so I hope I am right behind you

I am on Met right now and so far I have found that it has worked really well. It was actually my choice to try Met out first then if I don't get a bfp while on this by Dec 13 I will be telling my obgyn that I would like the clomid. I just cannot wait to have a little bean growing inside of me - and everytime I see people complain about it I want to smack them and tell the to appreciate the gift they have. Although smacking a preggo lady wouldn't look good on me. hahah.

The metformin has really worked for me, but I'm glad to be moving forward since that lovely clock is ticking a bit louder every month. lol That and I keep having visions of twins.... lol I wouldn't mind twins AT ALL. :P

Yeah, I know what you mean. It makes you better when they can tell you why the bfp has happened yet - and that they can fix it.

Twins!! I would personally cry if I had twins. Hahaha. Although I know people who would love to have twins.

dodgercpkl · Nov 22nd, 2011, 14:41 PM

Haha! I wouldn't mind because I'd love to have 2 kids and I don't know if I have it in me to go through all of this a 2nd time again. They made sure to advise me that clomid has the risk of multiples even though it's a very low chance, so I think that put the thought in my head of twins. lol
