Clomid 2013/2014 Buddies

[Milty]

No I have 1 DS that is 10

I'm pretty infertile so I'd be surprised if just taking Clomid 1 month did it!

Then I'd smack myself for not trying it sooner

 

[Rulitos]

Hi Rulitos, how did you know you were not ovulating?

How do you know you have O'd yet? Did you OPK ?

It's hard to say when to test for sure maybe cd 30

I had two rounds of follicle tracking and both times i had lots of tiny follicles (more than 12 on each ovary) but none of them matured or were released. Based on these tests the dr said i´ve not been ovulating.

He said to try the clomid first round (this round) and then if i have to go to a 2nd round we´ll do follicle tracking again to see how the clomid is working.

I dont know that i o´d for sure...but just going on the terrible pain i had for those days 13, 14,15...

Oh gosh this is horrible...waiting...

I cant locate OPKs where i live at the moment (am overseas)

 

[Milty]

You might try ordering from amazon or amazon UK because the UK one ships to more places!

Sometimes the pain actually comes after O or sometimes way before! So I would play it safe and say early testing would be CD 26 but safe testing CD30

Milty, I'm the same, I feel so infertile. It took me forever to get my BFP the first time that I actually thought I had started my period. I remember taking a test that morning and at that point I thought I was already out (total lack of confidence in my reproductive system). I threw away the stick before it even finished. It wasn't until the next day I accidentally spilled my bathroom trash can and saw that that it dawned on me that I could be preggers. Of course, a day later is never accurate so I took another test. Now here we are again, who knows how long this will take for me.

Hi ladies. Im 37 n on my 2nd round of clomid. This time my ovaries were twitching like crazy!!! Hasnt happened before. Has this happened to anyone else? Its not one of the climid side effects.

 

[StormySixx]

Hi Everyone,

Well round 3 was unsuccessful
Waiting on my Doctor to see if we try a 4th round before my appt with him on the 31st or do i start the 2 month break off clomid

hope all of you are well

 

[Milty]

Stormy


Mine was unsuccessful as well. Today is my CD1.

Overall I didn't have many of the common side effects. I had extremely tender breast the first day I took the meds ...normal from then on. I had a tad more bloating than usual at O and day before AF (could be from summer heat). Everything else was normal for me.

I did get bloods done at 10 DPO interestingly my Progestrone was 31.9 US scale. I was on P but in the past when on P I tested at only 18. I was not monitored so I do not know how many follies I had.


I will do 50mg of Clomid again CD 3-7, estrogen CD 8-12 and then P during 2 WW.

I am also having a lap done Wed.

Stormy I"m sorry to hear this wasnt your month. Hopefully your dr. will have another course of action for you when you hear back. Any reason why there would be a 2 month break after 3 rounds? Most times they will try it for 6 rounds before taking a break from Clomid, unless of course you're lucky enough to have a dr. like mine that won't go past 3 rounds.

Milty good luck with your lap on Wed.

Afm I'm cd 18 today. Had my last go at 150mg of Clomid only because the dr. felt sorry for me last visit and gave me one more round Interestingly this round I havent felt much of what I did the others, except for insane hot flashes and a lot of bloating, but since my hsg results it kind of feels like a waste to even have taken them. I guess only time will tell, until then going to try to enjoy this wonderful summer heat.

Bmom, Ceilani, Jax.. thinking about each of you

 

[StormySixx]

Thanks Milty & Cobra

Doc Chose to do a 4th round while i wait for my appt the 31st. They prefer to take a break after 3 because it can cause Cysts. But Holy Doodle am i fed up with the perma Hot Flashes & just feeling like Crap all day.

We'll see how this one goes & what the doc will say.

 

[03Cobra]

Fx'd this is your round Stormy! I'm glad you got the chance with another till your appt I hear you on the perma hot flashes doesnt help in this 100 degree heat either, but it's all part of what we'll go through to get our bfp...

Milty how was your lap? i hope you're doing well and maybe got a few more answers.

Bmom, how's your new puppy getting along? and how are you?

Hope everyone has a great Friday! I actually have this complete weekend off, can't wait to hit the beach

 

[Milty]

My lap actually didn't go very well. I'm still in the hospital recovering now. Long story short a specialist had to be brought in and I had to be opened op regular surgery style. My left Ovary and Tube had to be removed . My doc gas a very positive outlook on me TTC now. I understand everything and I really do have a better outlook now but it's kind of all be so shocking and a little much to take in.

I have the full story in my journal ...I'm just to drugged up to write it again. Not that I wasn't out of it a little the first time

 

[hope4rainbow]

First round of clomid after two losses within a year. 50mg and BFP 14 dpo! I'll be starting progesterone and lovenox injections today!

 

[StormySixx]

Congrats Hope!!!

Milty, hope you recover quickly!!!

Cobra, its been horrible with the heat we've had & no AC. feel like a big giant sunburnt overheated tomatoe!!! We start OPK's today so just waiting for the yes to go for iui #4! *crossing fingers &toes*

Hope everyone else is well!

 

[Milty]

Congrats hope!!

 

[hope4rainbow]

Milty, hope your recovery is going well!

 

[Ceilani]

Yay Hope! Congratulations!

Milty...I hope you are recovering well, hun. FX'd this is the beginning of a good path forward for you.

Cobra...checking in, hun! Doing much better after speaking with a genetic counselor. She took a look at my stuff and basically said I only have a 5% chance of passing on a full X chrom mutation to my child. DH and I felt comfortable enough with that number to move forward without IVF (which is good, b/c we couldn't afford the $23k/round she quoted us, anyway!).

I finished my first round of Femara earlier this week, and had ov confirmed for today (CD 12) when I went in to my U/S (only 1 x 0.8mm follie = very worried!! But the doc had blood drawn, and progesterone is 2.4, LH 20. The rest of the little buggers had already left my ovary!). Drs orders for tonight: lol!

I also had my DHEA levels drawn after supplementing 50 mg per day for the last month. They're in the low 500's now, and she wants me to stay with 50 mg. Also on CoQ10 600 mg, along with fish oil. Hoping that combo gives me a good egg!

Femara has been nice compared to my days on clomid...side effects have been nil, EWCM lasted 2 days, and lining is thick at 11mm. Horrible cramps for ov today, but I'm hoping that's a good sign.

Thinking of all of you, and wishing news for everyone!

 

[Milty]

Ceilani that's good news!! I agree 5% is very low.

So nice to know you don't have side effects this time too!


AFM I'm doing much better. I'm just hanging out at home recovering.

 

[Rulitos]

Hi Ladies
Good to read the updates and hugs to everyone for their respectives news...the good and the ´to be improved´.
AFM, i just had a scan on cd14 and have a lovely follie at 20mm!!!!! After clomid 50mg. My lining is at 5.2mm so this needs some thickening. Going to get some baby asprin. I´ll be able to bd tonight (cd14) and tomorrow (cd15) and friday (cd17). This should be okay...right?!

Please reassure a sister here...

 

[StormySixx]

Hi Ladies...

Hope everyone is doing well!

i see no one has posted in a while miss hearing from you all.

Round 4 was a flop, so on a 2 mth break than 2 or 3 more rounds of clomid/iui. If that doesn't work, we have to switch to IVF. Which is kinda scary.

Hope to hear from you soon, if you've changed threads, let me know where to join

 

[Milty]

I haven't changed threads or anything I'm just still recovering from surgery. I am much better and actually working again some.

Bmom has decided to move on and is no longer TTC. Jax only pops in every once in a while.
