Clomid 2014 And Beyond

[Buttercup77]

Hi Ladies,
Hope all is well.

Saks & Taurusmom, how are doing?

I'm doing ok, a bit better than yesterday. I'm anxious about my appointment tomorrow. I picked up Ovidrel and all set. Me and hubby talked and he we've decided to keep on trying and not take a break. While trying I will diet and exercise and if no bfp by the end of the year, will move onto ivf.

Enjoy the rest of your day, ttyl!

Hi ladies,

I hope all of you have a bless day. I'm Starting to wonder if something is wrong because AF is still here even though it is light. I never bleed longer than 7 days. My cycles are always between 5-7 days.

Hi lady_luv,

How many days have you been bleeding?

 

[Lady_Luv]

Buttercup- it's been 10 days now. I'm not having any kind of pain but I am confused about the bleeding.

Are you being monitored?

Hi Ladies!
-Sorry about my absence. I have been extremely busy.
-Buttercup: Sounds like a great plan! Keep praying and asking God for strength and guidance. Glad to hear you are feeling better.
-Lady_Luv: Have you expressed your concern to your doctor?
-I pray you are well. God bless you.
-AFM: Well, I had an attitude at the doctor's office yesterday and I think I scared the US nurse. I was having a bad day...and when she shoved that wand into my vagina, I almost lost it. I asked her to be gentle and she was like, "Do you want to do this or not! " Oh wow... That just made things worse. She took a break and shoved it in again. I just let her finish her job, and went for my blood work. She must have told the head nurse what happened, because she walked up to me and said, "It looks like you're having a bad day." I told her it's just hard having to come to their office three times/week and schedule work and other priorities. She told me I signed up for it and I could quit at anytime. WHAT?!?!? Quit? Because I had a bad day, she tells me I can quit the process, before the procedure. I thought she was crazy for saying such a thing.
-I never told her how the US nurse shoved the wand up my vagina, twice. When I went to the ladies' room later, I saw that she had tore my skin and made me bleed.
-I don't know if I should mention it to the doctor, as I don't want to "rock the boat."
-What do you ladies think?

Hi Saks,

I am sorry to hear you had to go through that. The comments were rude and uncalled for. TTC/IVF is a difficult journey and you'd think they would have some bedside manners.

It's really up to you but if it were me I would kindly let the doctor know what happened because your are the patient and bring business to their group. I'm sure you'll make the best decision.

Have a blessed day!

Hi ladies,

Well my appointment didn't go as well as I was hoping for. Today is cd11 and I have 4 follies 9.8mm, 12mm, 13mm & 14mm. I have to go back on Sunday for another u/s.

I just don't understand why it has to be so hard. I sensed there wasn't a lot of growth because I didn't feel a lot of cramping and bloating. I probably won't be around much, so enjoy the rest of your week.

ttyl

 

[SAKS]

Thank you, Buttercup!
-I really appreciate your advice and encouragement.
-I pray you will get great results from your appointment, Sunday.
-God bless you.

Ladies I wrote a long reply to you all...my time expired and I lost it!
Saks, I am so sorry about the experience you had at the dr! I would definitely speak to the dr. About it. I understand not wanting to stir things up- but I would hope that a dr. Would want his practice to thrive and treating patients like that - who are their biggest source of referring new clients- is not the way to do that. I'll be praying on this! Kmfx that all of your future appts. Are much more pleasant. As if ttc isn't stressful enough! *hugs*

Buttercup, im sorry your appt. Didn't turn out like you had hoped but I feel confident some big and beautiful follies are on the way! Don't get discouraged yet! Praying and sending every positive vibe I've got out to you, my friend!

Afm, cd18 and still no positive opk. I'm kind of glad because dh and I didn't get to bd before my work trip. My opk from this morning shows a little progression so i thonk our timing will be good! I started getting a little ewcm last night also. I think I will test again later this afternoon and hopefully catch my surge on its way up!

Hope all is well and we are all in good spirits. Our precious babies are closer to us by the day!

 

[SAKS]

Amen! Thank you, TaurusMom! I appreciate you.
-Your Outlook and plan sounds good! May God bless you and your husband to be extremely fertile from this day onward.
-Keep us posted!

-AFM: My appointment today was a lot better! Glory to God! They even gave me free medicine ($200 worth)
-I am feeling very well today.
-May God bless you all with hope and peace today and all weekend!

 

[Buttercup77]

HI ladies, thank you for your kind words, its truly appreciated!

-Taurusmom, glad to hear you are making progress, ewcm is a good sign!!
-Saks, glad to hear your appointment went well and you got some free meds!
-Lady_luv, how are you? is AF still lingering around?

I'm feeling a wee bit better today and trying to break out of this funk. This morning I noticed I have some ewcm and I haven't triggered yet. Now I'm concerned if this will through things off. Last month I triggered on cd12 and IUI on cd14. This month I'm going in for u/s on cd14 and if all looks well I'll trigger that evening. so IUI won't happen before Tuesday.

Instead of thinking everything is falling apart, maybe, just maybe it's falling together.

Thinking of you all and enjoy the rest of your day!

 

[SAKS]

Amen! Yes, Buttercup, everything is falling in line, right and in order, the way God planned it to be! Hallelujah!

SAKS, I am so so sorry that any member of the medical profession treated you that way. Nursing is about caring, and the nurses you encountered didn't do that for you.

It didn't sound like you were abusive to them, so they had no reason to be firm or nasty to you at all. I just wanted to say something in case you are questioning yourself. I work as a nurse, and part of the job is accepting people where they are at - if they are happy, sad, grieving, or whatever. We are to practice equanimity - a soft front but a strong back for people who go over the line, and so we leave our work at work.

I apologize on behalf of my profession

 

[SAKS]

Oh wow, Amigone... That was beautiful! Thank you so much! I needed that! I have forgiven them. I will address them differently, if they ever act that way again.
-God bless you.

 

[Amigone]

Thanks. This is such a difficult thing for all of us. A little big of compassion goes a long way. I hope your next visit is better!!

Hi Buttercup,

Well AF is almost gone I still have a little spotting. I'm praying for you and yes I believe everything will fall right into place.

 

[Lady_Luv]

Hello Ladies,

Well AF is finally gone. My OPK has been negative and temp low. I ovulate on my own but I'm kind of worried, will the Clomid affect it like it affected my cycle this month.

 

[SAKS]

Not sure, Lady_Luv...
-I think you should ask your nurse/doctor to be sure.

-AFM: Okay... My nurse/doctor should have warned me that the injections would make me SUUUUUPPPPEERRR irritable!!!! Goodness, gracious... I am very cranky on all of these hormones. I don't like to be like that. I like to be sweet, calm, and patient. I have been irritated by the smallest things! I know this part of the process should be over soon and I pray it will all be worth it in the end. I have prayed and asked God to forgive me and make me better.
-God bless us all.

 

[Buttercup77]

Hello ladies,

Happy Sunday!
-Saks I'm so sorry those meds are making you irritable but I'm sure it will be worth it because your bundle of joy is on its ways, my friend!!
- Lady, Good to hear AF is gone and hopefully for 9 months! When will you start taking Clomid?

I'm at my appointment and hoping and praying that my follies have grown. I will post my updates later on.

Ttyl!
