Anyone taking Tamoxifen?

[chan1983]

for me TTC was okay until the MC...(five months)... since I lost my baby, I went completely insane ... but yeah, it seems even worse now that I took tamoxifen and am taking prometrium...

Tysia i complete know how you feel. Its been 10 mths since i miscarried and i have been really struggling. Its hasn't helped as 6 of my friends are all pregnant, none of them have problems like i do and none of them have miscarried (which is great) so they don't understand how i can get so upset and how i really feel about it. Don't get me wrong i'm pleased for them but it hurts that things aren't that easy for me. If you ever want to talk or anything just shout. sending you big
I know how hard it is but try to do anything to take your mind off things or even get away for the weekend if possible and have some fun and relax. You never know that could be all that you need to get your BFP xx

no problem, it was my unclear writing .... guess what i did today.... wasted a test, and made myself more depressed by a negative on 8dpo.... obsession continues....

Hugs sorry. I personally have never had a BFP show before 12-14dpo. good luck your not out yet!.

 

[Tysia]

Thanks, girls.... you're so nice... how tamoxifen can bring people closer
it's 6:30 am here, on my 9dpo, and on the 'third month anniversary' - three months ago i died when i found out that my baby Uriah was already in heaven for a while... it's sure better now, after three months...

i wonder whether i'll do the test today oh well, even if i do, doesn't matter, right?

 

[Tysia]

so it looks like i'm out; temperature drop below coverline on 10dpo, just like last month, AF came the following day

 

[lisap2008]

Could be implantation I know most of my pregnancys implanted around 10dpo.
if AF is coming this soon You should try to lengthen your LP by using progesterone cream after ovulation. with a short LP you could be having AF before the embryo has a chance to implant.

 

[Tysia]

i'm on prometrium starting 3dpo, it's the first cycle i take it; i'll see what my ob/gyn says next fri... i usually get AF on 11 or 12dpo

 

[lisap2008]

Oh I forgot you had said that a few days ago. well it should lengthen your LP if it does not they need to raise your dose. I hope its a implantation dip for you and not AF trying to show .

 

[Tysia]

thanks, Lisa... i feel so hopeless... well, it's probably good i'll finally see my ob/gyn next week, but i don't think she cares all that much... i am wondering about maybe looking for a RE instead...

 

[Tysia]

12 dpo, still no AF, temperature above coverline last two days, negative HPT... probably progesterone doing something with my body...

Keeping fingers crossed for you Tysia and hoping you get your bfp very soon. It looks like it might be a good sign if your temperature is above coverline, surely?
I don't think i have ovulated this month as i haven't had any pain like i would do normally. I did have some cm yesterday with brown streaks of blood in it but thats not nomal for me so really confused. Feeling really down at the mo and just want to alot.
Going for my blood test on friday so will hopefully find out sometime soon if its working or not x

 

[Tysia]

Chan1983, I am so sorry you feel down... are you going to check progesterone level on Friday to see if you ovulated? i do hope you did... what does the temperature say?

and me - i almost don't want to have any hope anymore because the more hope I have the more it hurts when AF comes...

but thank you so much for your kinds words...
i'm keeping my FX for you!!!!

I think thats what they are checking. I don't do my temperature instead i use the cbfm and thats just said 2 bars although i missed it today as i was sleeping.

I know what you mean as you think has it worked and then you af comes and your gutted. Try to think about other positive things to keep your mind busy, like a holiday or something. I'm thinking of my holiday to Newquay in 2 weeks and how much work i have to do at work in the mean time.

Your welcome hun, thank you for your kind words too

i am slowly going crazy.... it must be the progesterone.. already 13dpo, which never happens for me, always had a shorter luteal phase; i also got pregnancy breasts, and ... HPT negative, of course... could this stupid AF finally start, please?

It wont start while your on the progesterone. so if 15dpo is still BFN stop taking it and AF will show in a few days. the longer the LP the better. mine are sometimes 20 days it does make me wonder if I am pregnant every cycle but on the bright side if I am pregnant I know the baby has enough time to implant way before AF is due.

sorry I have not been on as much we just got home from a beach trip and found out my Dad has prostrate cancer. on the bright side they caught it early so they will do surgery to remove it and he has to go though chemo ,then hopefully he will be on the mend.

so forgive me if I am not on as much I will keep you all updated.

Finally i have found some women that are on this...its been so difficult to find information and peoples experiences...i finished my first try on Tamoxifen day 2-6 on the 6th of June and went for a day 10 scan on the 9th..i had 1 good sized follicle according to the nurse...I'm not sure when i ovulated though but judging from how i feel today i don't think i was successful this month though..no positive signs

I'm finding it difficult to stay positive and not feel like I'm just going through the motions...right now I'm just counting down the days till AF comes and i have to try again...all of my symptoms right now scream pms

Anyway i guess we all have to keep our heads up

Also did any of you find that it made a change to your cervical fluid?

Maybe I'm just weird lol

Here's hoping for something positive for us all soon

 

[Tysia]

oh Lisa, no problem! how scary with your dad... it's great that they caught it early, but i'm sure it must be very difficult.... i'll keep him in my prayers...

thanks for some info on progesterone... i thought i'd stop taking it now (yesterday was day 10 of taking it); do you think i maybe should take it two more days? i'm going to see my doc only on Friday, so can't ask her (and i really started to take it on my own; although we talked about it when I miscarried)

so you also get these strong pregnancy-like symptoms while on progesterone?
it's freaking me out - it feels like when I was pregnant, and of course this makes me cry a lot, because I can't stop thinking about my son...

gosh, when AF comes it will be extremely painful

 

[Tysia]

Tilly, welcome! and FX for you!...
what day past ovulation is it for you? probably too early for any symptoms yet?

as for CM, I didn't notice any changes (had as little of it as usual, unfortunately....)

Thanks for the welcome...I'm not sure when i ovulated but from what the nurse said it would seem that it was maybe a few days after my scan...they didn't see the need to give me a Pregnly shot which they did the month before...so from that i assume ovulation was imminent all i do know is that it should have happened by now for sure lol

I just wondered about the CM like you i don't have alot of cm either

 

[Tysia]

the recent info i got on how to improve the CM is this:

Fertile CM to be given starting about Day 10 through 2dpo. (i don't know why only start on cd10? i thought i should start on cd1?)
Amoxicillin 500 mg 3 times a day on Days 10 through 14. (which is new to me.. it's to give some job to the liver, because otherwise it can screw up the CM)
Evening Primrose Oil - i guess starting cd1, till 2dpo

i took the last one for only a few days this cycle, i guess it wasn't enough to improve anything; i'm going to try all three when AF shows up...
