Well the time has finally come for our first round of clomid and IUI.

Ive scheduled all of our appointments -- HSG this friday, then my ultrasound on CD14. CD16 is scheduled for 'wash and go' , just in case things go well, but im finding it hard to be positive that day 14 WILL go well, and not overly well.

has anyone else had that problem?

our doctor has made it clear that due to our age, he refuses to go forward with more than 2 19mm follicles spotted day 14.

i flip flop hourly, being so confident my medication will work, and then being worried it will work too well and ill have to cancel the cycle.

im nervous about my Xray this week but have decided to just let what needs to happen happen. Im also finding myself getting worried that that Xray will not go well and that things will get flipped upside down again.

I think i have a good grasp of all of this stuff, my husband is learning and anyone that we know who has been told is just confused as hell. Pretty tough to talk or explain about it when they ask.

any other folks with PCOS have decent chances with first timer 100mg clomid?

i was surprised the doctor stuck me on the higher dose for a a first try, at first i was excited "oh this is going to work!" and now im worried that it is TOO much, and that ill have to cancel the cycle to try a lower dose next time.

A lot of this has to do with me being an eternal worrier-- which doesn't help the case. My specialist could tell i was high strung over all of this at our first meeting, told me to throw my thermometer away and let science take of things. My husband laughed and i did crack a smile. it was probably the first time i had laughed and meant it over this whole situation.

So, for the next 11.5 days i shall worry, while trying tonot worry that my body responds will tot he clomid, but not too well.... ugh.

i still think i may pick up that thermometer in a few days, just to see if any temperatures change before i go in for an appointment. while BBT'ing, ive never ovulated, so i have no idea at all how my temps will actually look when i do ovulate.
 
Ah hun... there is just so much to it huh? Each step I make it through I feel more positive... then as the next step approaches, I get a bit more nervous. I had my initial scan and bloods done and got the OK to proceed with taking Clomid. I'm currently on day 3 of that... and later this week I have my HSG and another blood draw to check my levels are OK after Clomid. I feel good about it all right now... so fingers crossed!!!

Just tell yourself all will be fine hun. We have no control over how our bodies will react, which sucks- lol, but all WILL be OK. I tell myself that if, for some crazy reason, I cannot proceed this first cycle with IUI- then there is always next cycle! As our bodies can do different things every month ya know?

Fingers crossed for ya that all goes as planned and you get the BFP THIS CYLE!!!

FYI- I'm also on 100 mg of Clomid right off. I was a bit surprised as it seems 50mg is the norm- but I'll do whatever the doc says at this point! lol. I'm guessing it's just due to my age?

Best of luck hun. <<<hugs>>>
 
thanks for the reply :) I havent been told to do any blood draws at all until they think i am pregnant, then they will check levels. i wish that when i go for my HSG friday they would do an ultrasound then to see if they can see if the clomid is working, hah. im also afraid ill ovulate early or late ( compared to day 14-15) and that that will mess things up too.


also on day 3 of clomid here, and either it is a coincidence, or it does not agree with my body. i dont usually get side effects from drugs but man, i have been miserable for 2 days now with all sorts of symptoms/ problems. im also fighting a cold though, which it may be related to :(

good luck with your tests and i hope all goes well on your end!
 
The blood draw (initially) was to check my FSH/Estodial in their office, as they like to run their own tests. Then I have another blood draw on Fri (day after done with Clomid) to make sure my levels go down on their own... can't remember what level, lol, but there is just so much to remember!!! I'm sure different clinics have different protocols though- so we just go with what they tell us ;)

Sorry your so miserable on Clomid! No fun. I'm hoping the side-affects go away after we are done taking it. I feel pretty good- but have some visual quirks. lol. Feel like I took too much cold medicine and my eye sight is a bit wonky and my head feels a little heavy... but I was more nervous about getting nauseous (as my tummy is so sensitive), so I'm thankful it's just this! Least it's only 5 days!!! I'm sure the cold isn't helping you, hope your feeling better soon hun.

Best of luck all goes well with you too!!!
