3rd Times a Charm***Round 3 of Clomid (TTC#1)

Forums New posts
Hi everybody!
Just could not log in as a very close best friend of mine passed away, n it has been all the way so sad tragic n depressing... That I couldn't think of anything..
I'm on round 4 0f 50mg clomid 5 days late for periods as last month but not taking ny test as I fear it will be negative as the previous cycle God Forbid. Have no symptoms so far. Just bbs look a bit softer n tender,fuller n tummy no bloating but seems fuller all the time.
I started drinking spearmint tea recently. I've heard it's known to reduce testosterones in pcos women.
I ve some fears I've heard even if someone with pcos are ovulating on clomid but still not pregnant, their high androgens can affect their chances of conceiving. FS would want me to take it alone for complete 6 cycles before they do HSG or something in combination with ovulation induction.
Hope you're all doing well. @ hope 1409 nice to hear about ur IUI , fingers crossed for you. I can't wait , if it was in my hands could've straight away gone for IUI :( without even have to wait this long to get there..

Hi All!
Im new to this posting in forum business! Sorry to everyone that has had misery & loss...i really feel for you. No-one should ever have to go through such sadness

My story is my husband & I are both 28 years old & have been ttc for 14 months or so. I've just completed 2 rounds of clomid. First month was on 50mg and i ovulated on day 17 making it a 32 day cycle. No pregnancy that month. Second month was 100mg and i ovulated again on day 17 also making it another 32 day cycle. No pregnancy again. Im currently on day 1(af came today) of my 3rd cycle. Seing my doctor tomorrow and i know she'll give me clomid again this month but increasing it again to 150mg. I really like the name of this thread...3rd times a charm....I hope so!!!! :)
 
So I have gone to RE yesterday....and left crying…I have just recently started seeing RE…before that I was prescribed Clomid for 5 months and it did not work for me…it has actually messed me up…I only had 21 day progesterone check with it and no ultra sounds….so when I have seen RE he has told me to get my CD 3 blood work done and I was scheduled for ultra sound to make sure things are going on no cysts and such…well my blood work showed that now I have hypothyroidism…I believe Clomid caused that since my thyroid was fine when they did blood work a year ago…RE said “probably” not but who knows…so now I am on meds for that…also my blood work showed that I have low egg reserve…he did not explain much just said he did not expect to see that in the women my age (34) and has sent me for more blood work…not really explained what that means…I goggled it and I should have known better then to do that…anyhow u/s showed two cysts that RE referred as “huge” when he was talking to resident student…I was like what do you mean huge…He said about 5mm or 6mm anyway again I have no idea what that means…all I know now is that I have waited $140.00 on Femara this month as I have already taken it since he has gave it to me because he did not anticipate this many problems as he considers me to be young ..also I have to get my thyroid under control and am going for another u/s in October to see if the cysts are gone…he believes it was from Clomid and is hoping they will go away if not I have to go back on birth control…WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!...birth control but I do not have time for that time is ticking …I JUST WANT A BABY…Is that to much to ask for…I swear this is turning into a nightmare…o yea and as I was leaving there was a lady in the car with an infant that was chewing on a cigarette pack…REALLY!!!! What in the world is going on…anyway thanks for letting me vent…I am just very tired and existed…all I want to do is curl up in a ball and cry but got to work…I hope beach trip in September will help me relax some and forget about all this…GL to all of you and I will check once in a while to see those BFP’s…
 
Welcome Rynie on your journey , @Sasha please don't feel sad, don't lose hope , u know everything happens for a reason, maybe if you go on the pill n come back to clomid afterwards you might get your miracle , may be its a road to your destination.
Be happy n cheerful. I too cried a lot today I don't know y even on clomid we r not making love regularly as much as we used to do without it. N today my crack MIL has been upsetting me even more, u know asking all the time abt the baby thing.
Had a confrontation , I don't understand but now day by day it's getting beyond my control n I'm becoming a freak. I'm really getting frustrated, it's now 16 months that we're trying and everyone around us seems to be discussing n talking bout it...
 
Hi ladies, how is everyone coming along? I have been off the boards for a while, trying to take a more relaxed approach. My iui last month never happened. Long story short, my bloodwork came back showing I had hep c which is no way possible, so my RE sent me to a specialist and he redid all bloodwork and did liver ultrasound and everything came back normal. Because I had already taken the clomid in prep for iui, my dh and I decided to try naturally to not "waste" a clomid cycle. In the past clomid gave me 31 day cycles and today I am on cd32 and no sign of af. I tested Monday but bfn. I don't know when I ovulated because I didn't track anything. It felt amazing not being so "crazed" over ovulation sticks and bding on certain days, etc. This month was really calm, no symptom spotting, no website searches....so now I'm still waiting, if no af by Friday, I will test again.

How is everyone else doing? And welcome to all the new gals!!:hugs:
 
Welcome back, hope! So glad your relaxed cycle helped and fx that AF stays away!

My first IUI didn't work, which I was really disappointed about. We originally planned for this month to be a natural cycle and I did an HSG a few weeks ago (normal). But when I went in on day 12 for an ultrasound, I didn't have any mature follicles. My RE added letrozole and I went back in yesterday, it didn't really help. The doctor said it was just too late in the cycle and we have to wait for the next one. My lh was really high but my progesterone was low, so she didn't want to add on any more meds or anything. She told us not to bd because I may still ovulate but with low progesterone, my body wouldn't support a pregnancy very well and I'd most likely have another miscarriage. I go back a week from tomorrow to see what my bloodwork looks like and then the doctor will decide if I should wait for AF naturally or whether she should induce it. Next cycle I'll do a combination of letrozole and injectibles, then another IUI. I'm having a really hard time with finding out this cycle was a bust. My would-have-been due date is the 20th, so this was my last chance to be pregnant before then. I'm just really struggling.
 
Hi ladies how is everyone doing? It has been queit here lately, hopefully we have some bfp news to share??

Afm, had my very first iui on friday. It was clomid+trigger+iui so i really hope we get lucky the first time. If i hated the tww before, i really hate it now!!!
 
Hi, Hope! Fx for your IUI! :dust:

Right now I'm waiting on AF, which should show up any day. Then I'll do Letrozole and injectibles with an IUI. I'm feeling very impatient right now. It was a hard week. Thursday would have been my due date and that was rough :cry:
 
How's everyone doing? Nothing new to report here other than I'm nearing the end of my tww. I will be testing Friday to find out if our first iui worked. This is really stressful stuff, lol. Next week is our 4 year wedding anniversary so getting a bfp would be the greatest gift in the world! Really hoping we get blessed :)
 
Fx for you, hope! AF came for me on Fri, so I'm doing letrozole and injectibles this week and then my 2nd IUI next week.
 
Well I am not even sure where to start and how with this email. Still little in shock. last time I wrote I was told that I have cysts, messed up thyroid and my egg supply was depleting fast and was told if cysts are not gone then I will have to go on BC so I was scheduled for next appointment which was yesterday. By the way my last period was on 8-22-2012. So while I was there doc comes in and tells me that we needed to start thinking about IVF or donor eggs or donor embryo because apparently my blood work was so screwed up and I was losing eggs fast. He also said that I probably did not start my period because I am pre-menopausal. Whole time he is talking he is doing vaginal ultrasound and then he said wait a minute you are PREGNANT...WHAT!!! I got to see a heartbeat and he thinks I am about 5 weeks and few days. I got my blood work done and have to go back in two weeks for ultrasound where he will be able to tell me more about time and EDD. Instead of BC I got progesterone pills. I have also taken a pregnancy test when I got home because I have never had BFP and I have bought one that says pregnant. I know it is still early but he said that after he sees a heart beat chances of miscarriage are lower but it can happen. I guess I am not going to worry about that. I am going to enjoy it. I did not take a test because I did not feel any different and since on Clomid my cycles were messed up anyway and honestly did not want to see BFN. I had cramps like AF was coming but she never came.
 
OMG congrats Sasha that is amazing news!!!! I am wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!!!

Stayhopeful, do you have any dates set for your second IUI? Maybe we can be cycle buddies once again :) I went to my RE yesterday and he upped my clomid to 100mg. Turns out all these months taking 50mg only gave me one follie, so he wants to see how I do with the 100. I go back Tuesday to see follie size and then we decide then if I will have my IUI on Wed or Thurs.

I actually have my second IUI tomorrow morning! I went in for a scan yesterday and it showed two mature follicles. My lining is still a little thin, so the nurse told me to take baby asprin, and the doctor wanted me to do one additional day of my injectible medicine (menopur). I did my Ovidrel trigger shot tonight and I go in tomorrow morning for my IUI. Depending on my progesterone level in the morning, they may recommend a second IUI on Thursday morning too. Do you mean next Tuesday, a week from today, when you're talking about dates? I hope the 100mg Clomid is just what you need! I'm glad to have a cycle buddy :hugs: We're both due for our bfp!!!
 
Ya I meant next Tuesday...sorry for the confusion. That is good that your follies are looking good. You will be a few days ahead of me in our cycles , but you are right...we so deserve our bfp already. Let go and let God :)
 
:flower: hello ladies,

room for one more clomid buddy?

I was put on fertomid-50 by my doc back in June and i got pregnant first time. but MC in July :cry: and was given the go ahead to start with fertomid again this cycle...I'm on cd17 today...and got a +OPK on cd14 and cd15(first time using OPKs aswell)

it would be nice to share this journey with you ladies!:hugs:
 
Hi Ladies I will be starting clomid next month after my HSG clears everything. I know I'm new to the clomid bunch, but was hoping I could get some advice from ladies who have already been using it. Like what kind of side effects did you have? I've never been pregnant and I'm 31.
