Clomid 2014 And Beyond

[SAKS]

Thank you, Buttercup! Keep me posted!

 

[Buttercup77]

Temp dived more, so it's likely AF is on her way! Lots of luck to all!

 

[SAKS]

I'm sorry, Buttercup! I understand... Here's a hug: {{{{Buttercup}}}}

 

[Buttercup77]

Thanks hunny bunny I'm waiting for AF and will start clomid on cd3

I'm sorry, Buttercup! I understand... Here's a hug: {{{{Buttercup}}}}

Sounds like a good plan, sweetheart! Your enthusiasm is infectious, Buttercup! I love it!

 

[Buttercup77]

Temp is going down each day and still waiting on AF; I spoke with RE and we're doing clomid w/ 2 scheduled IUI's. I'm anxious, nervous and excited, lol

I hope you are doing well.

Sounds like a good plan, sweetheart! Your enthusiasm is infectious, Buttercup! I love it!

Oh wow, Buttercup! Sounds exciting! A double - barrel procedure! Wow! You all are serious. Lol! I pray those swimmers/soldiers get to those eggs and fertilize them quickly. I pray your fertilized eggs implant with ease and your BFP will be blazing! I pray you have a healthy, peaceful pregnancy and a wonderful birth, with a beautiful take-home baby! God bless you!

AFM: I had a wonderful visit at the doctor's office today. My US was great, my fertility nurse was super cool, and the lady who took my blood was nice. I feel so hopeful! I too am excited and a bit nervous. I start my birth control pills tonight (they were free from my insurance company). I have to take them for 24 days. Then, I move on to injections. My RE said one of his 41 year old patients just got her BFP (after her 1st IVF) and all of her vitals (and the baby's) look great. That was very encouraging news. I thank God for giving me this opportunity and blessing me to be successful with it.

How's everyone else?

 

[Buttercup77]

Saks, thank you very much for the prayer, it's truly appreciated, and I pray the same prayer for you! God bless you too!
I'm so happy that your appointment went well and that everyone was nice. It certainly helps. This is our season, and the wings of hope will carry us
Please keep me updated on your progress!

AF arrived today, a whole day early, which is surprising, lol. I called and reported cd1 and go in on Sunday morning for bw. I'm not sure if I'll be using triggers along with clomid but will speak with my nurse.

Otherwise I hope everyone is doing well in their cycles and to have a wonderful weekend!

Oh wow... I hate early AFs!!! Oh well, at least you have a great plan of action. Do something fun tonight and tomorrow. You deserve it, Buttercup!
Keep me posted!

 

[Buttercup77]

Hi ladies, happy Monday! I didn't feel happy when my alarm went off this morning, lol. I went for bw and u/s and all looks well so I start Clomid tonight and then ovidrel, but they will let me know when I should start the injectible. I'm excited and nervous. I will start temping again tomorrow

How is everyone doing?

 

[SAKS]

Excellent, Buttercup! Glad to see you are doing well and moving forward.
I'm still taking my BCs and looking forward to Injectibles. My fertility nurse sent me a nice letter today. I really like her.
Keep me posted, Buttercup!

Will do. when do you start injectables?

Saks, lovely update! So glad to see you moving to the next steps in the process. You are so close to that beautiful bfp! having a great experience with the staff is so important and is most certainly helpful when ttc...especially with all the stress that can come with it! I am so very happy for you and can't wait to hear more.

Buttercup, is this your first round with clomid? Sorry if you have posted this info before! I don't know much about ovidrel but it certainly sounds like your bfp is coming this cycle! I'm feeling so positive about our thread here prayers are going up for you both as we speak!!

As for me...not too much excitement. Still only taking 50mg of metformin. Thought I could up myself to 1000mg a couple of days ago but it really messed up my stomach so I'm going to wait a bit longer before I try again.
My next af should be due around October 14th...not sure how my medication may affect my cycle timing. Then I can start clomid! Until then, life is pretty uneventful...and I'm OK with that!
Enjoyed my weekend off...spent a whole day in pajamas and it was glorious!
I figured out if I do get pregnant on my first round of clomid...I'll be 9-10ish weeks pregnant around Christmas. How fun to deliver the news with all my family at that time!! I'm going to stay positive and keep thinking of fun announcement ideas!
Hope everyone is doing well!!

 

[Buttercup77]

@taurusmom05, this will be me 2nd clomid cycle and 1st w/ovidrel. I feel good about this cycle. It's the beginning of Fall and I'd love to have some amazing news around Christmas to tell my family too

I have a hate/hate relationship with metformin,lol I had to slowly work my way to 1000. I have 500mg to go,Lol

Thank you, and I pray for your BFP, very soon!!

Hi ladies - would you mind if I joined you? I am in the middle of a clomid cycle and triggered Monday and bd Monday and Tuesday night. So I guess I am 1dpo. Would love to wait this out with you all!

Woo hoo!! Good luck to you! When are you testing?

Sorry! Just saw this! Testing on the 29th if I can hold out… HOPING I can!

 

[taurusmom05]

Good luck, valleygirl! sending you lots of positive vibes! Not too much longer! Did you have any side effects with clomid? Was this your first round with it?

 

[JeanJean]

Those of you taking metformin just wondering - is this a pill you take every day or only certain days of your cycle? thanks a bunch!

 

[SAKS]

@Buttercup: I should start Injectibles on October 13th!
I am so happy for you and I too feel very good about your progress. Remember, speak it out loud to the Universe and pray (if you believe) and claim your BFP! Say you will be pregnant during the cycle you want. Let the Universe know you are ready to be a Mom and you want it now!
@TaurusMom: Thank you so much! I agree, we really need that extra kindness during this time. I am glad you took a few days off to relax...with no guilt. I always feel guilty when I just sit back and relax. I need to take a few clues from you. And, yes, the Christmas pregnancies for us all will be a beautiful testament of God's greatness and faithfulness. I am so looking forward to it!!!!!! We will all be pregnant by Christmas 2014, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen! We will all have healthy pregnancies, with healthy growing babies, and a beautiful, healthy birth, with a beautiful take-home baby! We will all be wonderful mothers and raise beautiful, well-behaved children. Hallelujah!
@CAValleygirl: Good luck! God bless you! It would be so wonderful if you kicked off the BFPs for this thread!

 

[CAValleygirl]

I am 7 dpo today and my RE wants me to wait until 9/29 to test (14 dpo) - HOW can i wait that long haha!

This is my THIRD round of Clomid this time. I didn't ovulate first two times because I have PCOS and wasn't back on Metformin. This time I am so we'll see what happens… I HATE THE TWW!!!

 

[READY4MYBABY]

Hi Ladies, i came to join you!

My husband and i have been married 8 years and have not prevented at all since then, i had very very sporadic periods and would go months without one, i also never ovulated when i did.
About 4 years ago we switched from one doctor who did nothing but send me home with clomid without actually checking anything, and went to an amazing fertility specialist who has done sooo much for us, although we are still waiting on our miracle, he had my husband checked, everything great there, and he did all kinds of tests on me, fallopian tubes are open, i do have PCOS, and he determined i had polyps, so after a failed iui and some natural clomid attempts, he decided i needed ovarian drilling, which i did along with a hysteroscopy, and endoscopy, he also realized i have never ovulated before, ever. so im 100% happy with my doctor, i had it May 19th and have had a period every month since then on the 20th-21st. i have been taking Clomid every period since then and have ovulated just havent gotten my BFP, I am very hopeful that my day will come soon.
