Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[ttcbaby117]

hmmmm, I am of the mind set that if it wont hurt then I dont see why not. I believe the theory behind the LD aspirin is to thin out the blood so that enough nutrients get to the lil bean. I understand your thoughts behind it and also your hesitation.

 

[ashknowsbest]

Thanks FF!! i love knitting! Lol. It helps me relax when I'm feeling stressed

 

[Feisty Fidget]

ttcbaby thanks hun I will take one now and then double check with GP over the phone tomorrow whilst stressing midwife mentioned it last year. I am pretty sure he is going to say that such a low dose isn't going to do any harm

[Sticky Beans]

I've not stopped worrying since seeing the BFP! Before I was in a nice chilled place but now there's the chance I could be pregnant my spotting is really bothering me & I have till thurs before I can talk to my fs, my spotting is mainly reddy/ brown which I don't mind but I keep getting pink/ red as well which is how it was last time before my m/c.

I hope everything is ok but have a bad feeling in my gut about it.

xx

Hoping everything is ok sticky beans fx

AFM: apparantly my blood test results are back but the receptionist doesnt know how to read them so I'm waiting for the doctor to call me back

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Amy please keep us posted

Sticky I can understand how anxious you must feel A friend of mine had spotting for the first 2 months of pregnancy and her pregnancy progressed fine That said it can also be a sign of low progesterone which isn't good. You could go to A&E say your pregnant and explain about the spotting? They would do HSG check and possibly progesterone, it would save you having to wait a few days. Or make an emergency appointment with GP x

 

[gilmore85]

still waiting for them to call

 

[fisher640]

Hope the spotting is nothing sticky beans!

FF... that's a tough call, I was always told no anti-inflamatories in pregnancy (aspirin included), but I think they only actually cause a 'problem' if taken in the last trimester. I might be tempted to start taking it if they mentioned before hand you should... especially if you have an appointment soon to iron things out.

I'm just waiting around for my positive OPK... tick,tock,tick,tock...

Anyone that has more experience with clomid than me -- (this is my first month), I'm CD 13 today and my last clomid was CD7.... is it possible I'm just having side effects now? I see lots of posts about people having side effects while taking them, but mine seem to have only started the last 3 days, I'm not sure whether to blame it on a GI bug or the clomid. I'm occasionally nauseated, my GI tract is all out of whack, and I've got bloating and lower belly pinching pain on occasion. I was reasoning it 'could' be the clomid if I have more than one follicle brewing down there maybe things are just swollen and therefore sensitive? I'm anxiously awaiting my pos OPK so I can go in for the follicle scan to see what's going on!

 

[kcarey77]

Thanks for the kind words.

In regard to spotting, it can be normal. Some women bleed a few months, some the entire pregnancy. Each situation is unique. Try not to stress over it , I know it's easier said than done. Try to read a good book to take your mind off the stress. I wish all you ladies nothing but healthy pregnancies.

In regard to clomid, I took 50mg for 3 cycles and 100 mg for one. I was one crazy emotional *itch. DH could barely tolerate me. It made me crazypants.
I had cramps often and experienced ovulation pain for the first time and still do. The side effects were not worth the drug to me, so I never took it again. As my Dr. said, either it works in the first 3 cycles, or it will not work. For me, it didn't work. But, my issue is not ovulating. It's blocked tubes.
Gilmore- I hope you get the call back soon! Good vibes coming to all of you!

I wish all of you much success in your goals of achieving a baby soon! Looks like this a good year for it, I know over a dozen people currently preggers

Fisher - I had hot flashes randomly throughout a clomid cycle, so mine wasn't limited to just when taking the pills.

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Apparently clomid symptoms can appear at any time of the cycle but are supposed to ease after ovulation

 

[ttcbaby117]

I was crampy and crazy while on clomid even after I took the pills. Usually lasted the entire cycle. I am on femara for the first time thsi cycle and so far nothing....I will be doing my first opk tomorrow......

 

[lian_83]

This is very late, but congratulations FF, Sticky!! :

also, feeling more positive after reading the success stories of fellow LTTCers. I think this might also just work for me. This is my 2nd Clomid cycle after surgery. I plan to do SMEP from CD11 then progesterone from 3-4DPO. Also, Pre-seed and softcups which I always use.

 

[purple_hope]

Clomid type symptoms can appear after ovulation if you have several follicles developing, because all of your hormone levels are much more elevated. I had about 5 mature follicles and my Estrogen was ~4000 instead of the usual ~1200 CD13 before ovulation. After ovulation you then also have elevated Progesterone levels and they can contribute to more sensitive bbs, water retention (bloating), and mood changes.

 

[gilmore85]

ok the doctors finally called me back, my levels were borderline so she couldn't say for sure if i did ovulate or not so she wants me to book another set of bloods to be taken.
She also said she is going to write up the referral in the mean time and i just need to pick up all the paperwork the next time i am passing so will pick them up tonight on my way home. Oh and then she said that I have to fill something out on line and thats how I get my fs appointment... hope there are some instructions in the paperwork she has left for me or I'll back on the phone asking her whats shes on about

 

[Sticky Beans]

I was evil the whole time I took clomid, DH just stayed out my way! I was on 100mg. I also got some spots and a bit of sickness. Also got lying tits 10 times worse than normal dverytime AF was due.

Afm I'm not holding out much hope, my spotting turned into full blown bleeding, no cramps or clots but can't imagine much being left in there after that.

Fs appointment tomorrow
