CD1 Starting clomid in 3 days... Let's Chat

[iprayforbump]

Thank you. I'm glad you had a great night out! My dr wants to see me on cd1 to check for cysts and then give me my new month of clomid. How many mg are you taking? i am going to see if I can get 100mg, but we'll see.

I'm taking 50mg again. It makes me a little nervous that most of you are being observed on clomid. My doctor hasn't said anything about coming to check for cysts, or bloods, or anything. She just said she wants to do 3 rounds and that's about it.

bump ask her to do an ultra sound at cd14 that's what my dr does and he can tell me how many mature eggs i have and if the meds are working or not....he doubled mine this time around b/c the first month i still did nothing

My doctor did a blood test about 7 days after I got a postiive OPK to see if I OVed. Not this cycle, but last. I was irritated that my doctor wasn't doing a scan to see if the clomid was working. lol. Our doctors need to get on the same page.

My dr only did progesterone test cd21. It was positive for ovulation YAY

Dawg how are you hunnie?

My specialist said that many obgyn's arent aware of all the fertility details because those are skills aquired during the infertillity specialists certification, which is three years in addition to being an obgyn. My obgyn put me on progesteron (with no clomid, no exams, etc.) thinking it would extend my luteal phase, when in reality I wasnt even producing eggs strong enough to fertilize. I would speak up for sure! I would ask for 1) a day 3 scan to make sure no cysts are there, 2) Most importantly, a day 12 scan to look for follicles and 3) a day 21 progesterone blood test to ensure ovulation occured. The squeaky wheel gets the grease

Amber does your insurance pay for all that ?

 

[Amberks8]

No. But I have heard that some do.

 

[iprayforbump]

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I know I ovulated so I guess I don't need the progesterone test but I was kind of curious about the cyst one. I'll call and ask tomorrow. Thanks!

 

[katertots]

I am curious about the cyst test too. Wish my dr would give me one, better to be safe than sorry.

 

[Bulldawg1026]

Katie thanks for asking...i have had some cramping with O day so close I hope this is good news!! I go Wednesday for my scan to see of my follicles matured this Month or not I can't wait!!

I am glad that mine is checking for cysts, but I am freaking out about it because he has to do a vaginal check (to feel for them) on CD3 when AF is in town. That's gross. lol. I feel so uncomfortable doing that, but if it gets me more clomid then ill give it a try. lol

 

[katertots]

Lol angela! We sound like addicts haha

 

[arpeters]

lol yup. The things we will do for TTC.

Anybody tried the pineapple yet?? I think I will this month

 

[katertots]

I drank pineapple juice not sure if thats what im supposed to do lol

 

[arpeters]

I tried pineapple this month. I took a whole pineaple (fresh) and cut it into 5 sections with core in each section. It's easiest to cut it this way ( I I I I ) on its side into round slices. I ate some pineapple and core once per day for 5 days. I hope it helped. I will let you all know tomorrow. I started 3dpo. I think I needed to start on 2dpo, but I forgot to get some on time.

so i'm starting cycle 5 of clomid, it is working, but still BFN every month. but AF is being a pain, i have all the AF symptoms i normally have a day or 2 of spotting, PMS bad enough to make DH want to move out cramps, but so far it is spotting, and some clots, only one drop of true red, so now i'm wondering when i should consider my start day, i guess i should pee on a stick just incase, which i know will be BFN but it will still make me cry. oh this is so frustrating. AF should have been in full force 48 hours ago. after 18 years of clock work, AF pulls this shit.
any thoughts.
PMS is still lingering, i found myself cheering for anyone other then Natalie Portman tonight, she accidentally got pregnant with her boyfriend of a few months while fasting for her role, thats right i'm an awful person, but after 13 about to start #14 cycles of trying, i need a place to vent, i can't do it at work and DH is equally stressed. okay i'll have some nice decaf tea.

 

[arpeters]

Hello Pickle,

This is the best place to vent. I'm sorry that AF showed up. I will be joining you tomorrow, unfortunatly. This is going to be my 2nd round of clomid. 6th month TTC. Good luck this month!!

 

[Amberks8]

Ok, my TTC Friends, I have some big news. :BFP: Its amazing that I had a BFN, starke white, on dpo10, dpo11, and dpo12 and then here on dpo13, a DIGITAL PREGNANT!!!! I fell to my knees crying. A YEAR since my miscarriage, I am finally pregnant. BUT, I am VERY VERY VERY cautious...

I go in tomorrow to get the quantitative blood test to make sure the hcg is doubling every two days...

I am so hopeful for you all.

 

[katertots]

YAY! Are you 10dpo today ? I woke up this morning thinking maybe ill take a test, but I am so nervous it will be negative.


Congrats sweetheart!
