hi everyone. sorry i been gone a while. just kinda sitting back and enjoying pregnancy. well most of it hehe. im 11 weeks today and so excited about tomorrow, finally get to hear the babies heartbeat. Seems like theyve made me wait FOREVER!! Ive been feeling good for the most part. Tired and hungry Always. never actually got physically sick but still qutie a few foods that make me feel just blah.
Becky! i cant believe youre already at 18 weeks! youre about half way there already. how exciting.
lindsey. so sorry the clomid doesnt seem to be working for you. has ur dr mentioned the shots (sorry not sure what theyre called). my dr had told me a few times that if clomid didnt work for me that wed go to some shots afterwards, bad part is they are very pricey and my insurance wouldnt cover them. may be worth a try tho since the clomid doesnt seem to be helping.
Nat, how ya holding up? i hope things are going well for you.
Hope everyone else is doing well. Ill post again after my apt tomorrow and let yas all know how it goes

 

[lanet]

Glad to hear everyone is doing good. Linsey I'm sorry you're not ovulating, how frustrating! I got complete bloodwork last week and guess what? I'm perfect! So what's the problem?! I guess it's time to dig into the bank account and schedule the hsg. I'm going to look into that in January.

 

[Greenie5]

sooooo.. had my apt today! was a lil scary at first cause it took a few mins to finally find the heartbeat. i think mine stopped beating for a second. but then AWWWwwwww was such a beautiful lil sound. heatrate was 163. AND then i was even able to talk my dr into an ultrasound!!! Went back to the drs a couple hrs later and had that. was so amazing seeing our lil one in there. he/she wouldnt turn around so we only could get a back shot, think he was mooning us! hehe The ultrasound tech said the heartbeat was 171 tho... so not sure why so diff. measured exacty 11 weeks 1 day, so right on schedule. gonna try to add a pic here if i can figure it out ........ hmm i may have to just change my profile pic to it cause i dont know how to get a URL of my pic. hopefully i remember how i did that! haha


Lanet, glad to hear you had the blood work up. i hope the HSG will help you. i know if insurance dont cover it Its qutie pricey. i still think its what ended up helping me .. well and the clomid. be sure to keep in touch and let us know how things are going.

Hi everyone!!

Lots of exciting news and appointments for you ladies who are expecting...how wonderful! Nat, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't tell you how sorry I am.

As for me, I am 10 dpo after my first round of Clomid. And I did ovulate!! 21 day progesterone level was 29! My OB is happy with that. I am glad it worked.

I took a test today, a BFN! But I think I am still in the game.

Ladies, I have a question...are you all having more PG type symptoms than normal, due to the Clomid? I have been having all kinds of stuff going on, and I am wondering if it's due to that. Lots more cramping, tugging/pains in uterus, reflux, dizziness, headaches, backaches, tired, peeing a lot, and I had a few watery brown spots in my undies at 8 dpo and 9dpo. No spotting today though. Do you guys think I have a chance?

Ahhh! I hate waiting. I think I will test again on Sat.

 

[Greenie5]

hello wendy. i would always seem to have alot more cramping after ovulation while using the clomid. and the absolute worse headaches! actually the worst ones were the month i finally got my BFP. the pinkish discharge i never had but hopefully that is a good sign. ur still in the game till AF shows her ugly face. Good luck to you

 

[wendyk1]

Well ladies, think I am out. 12 dpo and started spotting today. Didn't even take a test. oh well!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I will be stalking!

 

[lindsayms05]

Hey guys! Love the new profile pic Greenie! I'm so glad you and your lil one are doing well.

Lanet, that's great news about the perfect bloodwork! Sorry if I missed it but did your dh get another sa after his antibiotic treatment? Keep us posted on how everything is going!

Wendy - that's great that you ovulated on your first round! Keep your chin up, I've heard cycle 3 is the magic cycle. You have a merry christmas as well!

Mrscompass - welcome! I see you're on femara. I might be moving on to that. Good luck!

As for me, I'm just starting my fourth round of clomid at 200mg!! It sounds like a megadose to me but it's a last ditch effort and then moving on. My doctor also bumped my met up to 1500mg. He said the next step if the clomid didn't make me ovulate would be injectables, but I would have to be referred to a specialist for that. I asked if he had ever tried femara and he hadn't. He looked it up and said he's open to trying it next cycle if clomid doesn't make me ovulate. It's looking like, if I ovulate, it will be right around christmas. Bad timing but at least I'll be off work all around that time because I'm a teacher. I'm doing much better about being relaxed. I'm not too worried about this cycle. I know there's a good chance I won't even ovulate so I'm not going to stress. It's christmas time anyway, who needs stress! LOL!

As for everyone else..I hope you're all doing well!

Hello ladies, ok if i join?

Ive been ttc since jan 11(cycle 13 now). On clomid cycle 1 but think this isnt my month as temps have fallen and spotting today (11dpo). Sigh. I think i ov on my own (day 21 progesterone test was 26nmol/l) and an internal ultrasound suggested everything was ok, dh sa also fine but doc refuses to send me for an hsg until nxt jun. he has given me 50mg clomid from days 2-6 to boost my chances. I havent noticed a huge change, in fact my cycle has gone from 27 days to spotting on cd26. Falling temps since 8dpo also suggest lowish prog... Ahhhh who knows eh?

I wish you ladies thebest of luck!

 

[Nursebecky31]

Welcome MK8, Wendy and MrsCompass!! I wish you all the best of luck! MK8, why the wait for the HSG? Most of the time they do that even before they'll do the clomid to make sure your tubes are clear, because if they arent then clomid won't help. Maybe just the docor's preference? Have you looked into getting a second opinion?

Lindsay and Lanet - what's up ladies!!!!

Greenie - congratulations!!!!! SO EXCITING!!! Your little bean looks adorable.

Nat - how are you?

I had my 20 week ultrasound done yesterday and everything was perfect. Both little guys weighed 13 oz and were growing perfectly. It seems like its taken me FOREVER to get to 20 weeks, but at the same time it makes me realize that these 2 are going to be here before we know it!!! It makes me wanna snuggle with my older two because I don't know how much life is going to change once these 2 come along, ya know? Of course, I can't wait though!! I'll try to get a belly pic on here too if I can. I'm huge, especially for 20 weeks!!!

 

[mk8]

Hi Nat, I'm in the uk and the doc will only refer me next jun on our (free) healthcare system. I thought I'd give clomid a shot for three cycles then go private for an hsg if need be. I'm onto cycle two of clomid now, hope I get blessed over Xmas!

 

[wendyk1]

Hi ladies!

well I am on Clomid round #2, 50 mg. Today is CD 4. I did ovulate last cycle, so at least it is working. I am getting a pelvic ultrasound to make sure everything looks good "in there" haha. Then an HSG. I also just had my FSH, LH, and DHEA? checked.

All these procedure and tests, hope it means a BFP soon.

A question for you ladies....has anyone been on Bromecriptine? It is used to lower Prolactin levels. My level is a little high, so my OB wants me to take it for awhile. I'm wondering what the side effects are????

Thanks ladies!! Babydust and BFP's are coming our way!

Nurse Becky so happy to hear the news about your little boys!!!

 

[Nursebecky31]

Wendy, I don't know anything about that drug. Sorry!! Good luck with it though. Let us know how it goes! And for those of you on round 2, I will tell you I got my BFP on Clomid round 3!!! So don't give up!

 

[Nursebecky31]

Happy New Years ladies!!!! May this be a year of good luck for all of us on this board! to all of you!!

 

[momma_nat]

WOW! I don't even know where to start. I have really missed you girls. I'm sorry for not being around, I have not been doing so well and I think it's only getting worse, I'm going to talk to my doctor next week. So after everything it got even worse after I took the meds to abort the twins after the hospital messed up, only 1 of them passed thru the other got stuck. I was in extreme pain and taken back to emergency and was re admitted to the hospitla for them to make sure everythign passed. I returned to work on December 5th, it has been tough, tons of people wondering where I've been and asking questions. I was doing okish. But then christmas came knocking and I have been a mess, I cry all the time and I am just sad. William and I decided to remember our babies and added 2 lil angel ornaments to our tree that we will place there every year.

Login tonight to the forum was very very hard for me, I started reading adn crying a lot. I just wanted it sooo bad , you girls know that and have been there for someone to just take it away from you . TRULY SUCKS!!!! I have been going back adn forth lately I feel liek it's my fault I just wish I would never have gone in for the pain in my side and just dealt with it...

So where do I go from here? We have stopped trying. I am actually going to be having gastric bypass surgery. (gastric sleeve) within the next few months which will majorly help with my infertility. There is a 6 year waiting list so I had lost hope on that but after onyl 3 months I got a call... Someone out there cares I guess. So weare going to wait until after my surgery and then we will try again. Downside is I have to wait atleast 18 months to try. So in meantime as no date has been set we are not trying but not preventing either. If god truly thinks it is the best time for us it will happen.

Becky I want to see that baby bump woman!!! And congrats greenie on getting your early ultrasound!

How is everyone doing? I look forward to updates!

Lots of Love,
Nat
