Sarah I am absolutely gutted for you. I know that nothing I can say is going to help right now so please just know we're here for you 
30 something and TTC #1 for a year
- Thread starter mk8
- Start date
who knew something you never held, and only knew for a few short weeks could rip a hole in your heart. I have never felt so devastated in all my life. I am so thankful, however to have an absolutely amazing husband and supportive friends and family.
Oh Hun it doesn't matter if you never held your baby the pain and grief is still there ..it's still a huge loss for you both. Take all the time you need to grieve this and I'm glad your family can give u both the support to get though the hurt hugs:

I've never been on clomid Cupcake so I'm not sure, sorry... You must be excited to be getting started!

Hi I am new to this site. My husband and I have been ttc for about a year with no luck. I am on my first cycle of clomid due to not ovulating regularly. My doctor put me on 100 mg of clomid and today is cd 18 and I still have not ovulated. Just wondering if anyone has had any luck taking clomid.

cupcake- in regards to the clomid, I took it at night before I went to bed as it can sometimes make you dizzy/light headed.
Ebas- I took 50mg then 75mg and didn't ovulate until CD26 and CD24. sometimes it takes your body time to figure out what it needs to do.

Sarah- I'm so sorry. Take care of yourself. Hope your doc is able to offer some information that would help you. Thinking if you.
Ebas- welcome. Good luck with clomid! Great stuff for people who don't o!
Cupcake- how's clomid treating you? Is this the only time you have been on it? Recall you o on your own already? Is it to create more eggs for iui? Good luck with this cycle! When are your scans?
Broody, Aleja- how are you?
Everybody else- hope you're ok

Hi girls
Welcome ebas hope clomid does the trick for you . The other girls are much better at clomid information as I have never taken it.
I am still waiting for AF this is now getting beyond the joke .. I even took a cheapie hpt this morning...ha!! Well no joy there either but not even fussed about that anymore .

hi everyone.
Just checking in. I'm near my O time no doubt. AF in 2-3 weeks. Though, of course, I'm hoping miracle BFP comes and it's a lovely story about how I was about to start treatment and got a ntaural BFP. However, after 19 months, I'm likely to start my first ever Clomid/IUI cycle.
Once I get to the Clomid stage, I'm sure I'll have some questions for you ladies already down this road. The dr. warned me my skin might get more oily for the days that I'm on it. Great. :/ I'm also hoping it doesn't mess w/ my moods too much. I'm moody enough on my own!
I hope everyone's doing Ok. Sarah, still thinking of you. Hope you are healing ok.

Hey girls, looks like lots of us are just hanging around waiting for something to happen!! 
Hopefully dh's karyotyping results will be back this week so then we can go ahead and start planning our schedule for icsi...
Aleja, has af ever been this late before? Have the meds from the icsi confused your cycle maybe? Hope she arrives soon... (or even better that she doesn't arrive at all and that a BFP shows up instead!)

Mrs G I'm worried about the moods with clomid, i have to say i'm a snappy person at the best of times.
Clomid not going bad so far, bit of tummy cramps. 2 tablets left. Decided to take it at 7pm every night, set an alarm on my i-phone. Scans/Bloods start on Monday - every other day until we get to the iui part. It's a bit of a logistical nightmare with school, i'm having to go in late and then have my tutor period covered so i can call the clinic. Also might have to leave suddenly if they tell me i'm ready. Fertility treatment is definitely not designed for teachers. My school have granted my 5 days leave of absence for fertility treatment. That's enough to cover 1 round of IUI but i worry that if we need more then i won't have enough time left for that (i'll be using about 3 1/2 days for 1 round of iui) and the i won't be getting paid which we can't really afford - maybe that baby money we saved will have to come into play (was meant to supplement maternity pay, but may have to be for this). My head was very supportive - i keep crying in her office so she thinks i'm an emotional wreck and she's telling me off that i'm not more positive.
Excited and nervous about the whole process, especially if they want me to do the injection myself to stimulate ovulation - you should have seen my body language when the nurse said we'd have a practice. My body literally moved away from the table and i refused! What a baby i am.
MK8 on clomid did you have aches around your ovaries - that's what i'm feeling.
Good luck ladies - lots of baby dust to us all.
PS I've been reading a great book that i bought last month when i was having a TTC meltdown - i'd recommend it to anyone to improve positivity when TTC. I got it on amazon - it's called 'Bump and grind - an a-z survival guide when you're trying to get pregnant'. It's light hearted but is giving me ideas and cheering me up. I also bought one called fertile thinking which i haven't started yet but will be soon.

Cupcake, It seems we're in the same spot. By your ticker I see you've been trying 1 year, 7 months. Me too! I also see you are going through Clomid/IUI/trigger cycle. Same as I will - next month. I'm also hoping the Clomid doesn't mess w/ my moods. I've been irritable lately and I'm not even on medication! Forgive my bad memory if I'm wrong, but this is your first IUI too...
Hey gals. I think we need a summary of our posters. This thread has been going on over a year after all.
I'm getting everyone's stories mixed up. 
Me 31, DH 29. Never pregnant, no BFPs ever. Trying since Nov 2010. 19 months, I think 17 cycles. Tried temping and OPKs for many months. Blood work and HSG done late last year. Tests mostly all OK. DH SA done May 2011 - "normal" but low end of normal. DH has varicocele.
One thing my dr. did point out. My LH was 6.09 and FSH 4.33 on Day 3. I THINK he said this shows a communication problem. My lifelong irregular cycles is likely the cause for no BFP to date. FS also said our problem "easiest to fix." My paper says "suboptimal ovulation." Hey... I never googled this. Let me now!
FSH Day 3
3-20 mIU/ml
FSH is often used as a gauge of ovarian reserve. In general, under 6 is excellent, 6-9 is good, 9-10 fair, 10-13 diminished reserve, 13+ very hard to stimulate. In PCOS testing, the LH:FSH ratio may be used in the diagnosis. The ratio is usually close to 1:1, but if the LH is higher, it is one possible indication of PCOS. <------------- FS definitely didn't tell me anything about PCOS.
A LH/FSH ratio of greater than 2:1 or 3:1 may be diagnostic of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
I assume that means that my LH would have to be 2 times or 3 times higher than my FSH to be PCOS so then I'm ok.... ?
IUI/Clomid/Trigger cycle should start around first week of July.
Your turns.............

Cupcake, can you not just take sick days on the days you need treatment and get the FS to write you a letter/cert stating gynacaelogical (spelling?!) procedures? I'm a teacher too and that's what I plan on doing. My principal has also been very supportive, it definitely helps!

Hello Ladies,
Can I join?
I'm 32 trying for #1 for almost two years this month. In the middle of cycle 24. I'm not giving up but a lot's been going on. DH has low sperm count and it would be best if I lost some weight. Both of us actually. Also, I have recently been tested for hyperthyroidism. One doc things I have it,. Another is waiting to see. Another once more vit d. I am trying to hang in there, but at moments it gets hard. We're NTNp right now as the stress of actively trying was taking it's toll.
Wishing you all the best. Looking forward to sharing with you all!
