Do you ovulate on your own Blah? Just curious as my doctor has suggested taking it but I do already ovulate so wondered what the reason were for you being prescribed it.

I think I ovulate sometimes not too sure my son will be 14 soon he came easy but nothing since. The clomid is to help with ovulation and help with a better egg supply.

 

[Clareabell]

Thanks blahs wife I hope it works for you

I have stopped temping it sounds silly but have been getting a teeeeennny bit obsessed with my charts and spend the tww scrutinising them. I feel lots better for letting it go.

 

[Mrs Doddy]

Do you think that I should go to my doctor for advice ? Now we are 7 months ttc - they will probably tell me to give it more time but could it be worth get in a once over

 

[Clareabell]

If you haven't been already I definitely would they will run your blood work and make sure the basics like hormone levels etc are alright and that you are actually ovulating

 

[Mrs Doddy]

Thanks - they will do that ??? ooh will definitely book it in then

 

[Clareabell]

Yes how many months have you been trying? I went after 6 months as they say that second time parents should of fallen pregnant in that time if they have regular cycles. They did my FSH and CD 21 bloods. All my blood work is fine. I also had an ultra sound that is fine but is good to rule all these things out.

Sorry for asking a silly question, but what does FSH stand for? I checked my gynea's note for my blood work and I must go for the FSH, thyroid check, LH, and a few others. I'm just curious.

I have a feeling that I'm the problem, that's why we are struggling to get pregnant

Not a stupid question at all. FSH stands for Folicle-Stimulating Hormone and its basically a hormone that helps to stimulate the eggs and release them from the ovary. The higher your FSH the harder your body has to work to release an egg.
But please also be away that FSH numbers can vary for a person per month.

Hi Clare

I'm ok-ish thanks. Started AF so I am a bit down in the dumps at the mo
I hope you didn't think I was ignoring you in any way. I just didn't want to bring the thread down. It's such a vicious cycle. As soon as AF starts, I cry and cry. Then I pull myself together and think 'right, next month' them i get all optimistic again, then I realise I'm not getting any different symptoms and just know my month is out. Then AF rears her ugly head and it starts all over. The emotional and mental aspect of this TTC malarkey is horrendous

Sorry, just went off on a rant there

How you getting on Clare?? Did you see your doc?

Xxx

I know you girls do understand which is why I rant on here sometimes. It's a comfort that there are ladies going through exactly the same thing but it makes me really sad because its supposed to be a really enjoyable journey which is just tainted with sadness, bitterness and anger...... I wouldn't wish this on anyone!

How are you Donna? Xxxxx
