Clomid any advise.......struggling

[digs]

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone can help me with a little motivation, I'm want a baby more than anything and have been advised to take clomid - only trouble is I have had 3 m/c. I have asked and asked but the docotr says my only problem is ovulation.......how when I have lost 3?? I confused and worried my husband and I won't cope with another lose - any advise or moivation???


please

Hi Digs!

I know where you are coming from. Repeated losses are just simply awful!!!

I have had 2 myself, you can see my history from my ticker below. I've had all the tests under the sun after my second loss, but no reason for our losses was determined. I didn't seem to have a problem with conceiving back then. However after my 2nd loss when I couldn't get pregnant for over a year, I had another lots of tests, even laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Still nothing was found. It's been now over 2 years. Finally I've been put on Clomid in spite of ovulating and having regular periods. They have a certain procedure they follow. Doctors do not look at you as an individual.

When did your losses happen? Did they ever give you any indication why that might be?
How long have you been TTC again before doctor decided to put you on Clomid?

Ah it is so nice to find someone else to talk to all my friends try to help but they have all had no problems!

I had a Lap and Hyst on new years eve last year after the 3rd m/c in August last year, just after our wedding. We have been trying since then with no luck at all, I have for the first time in about 8 years had regular periods so I thought things might happen now but still nothing. We are due to start clomid next week but I am so scared of losing again.

We have had one m/c per year for the last 3 years, I really don't want another! 2nd one we got to 11 weeks.

Thanks again so nice to talk to someone who understands!

I've been put on clomid myself after 2 m/c and multiple tests saying everything seems fine. This month she tried IUI and still waiting to see if it worked! I was also told to start progesterone suppositories right after the IUI. I feel really frustrated too...nothing seems to be working

 

[digs]

Just had a call from another friend who has " accidently" got pregnant and they have decided that after a bit of chatting yes they are happy!!!!! I'm finding it really hard to be excited and supportive when I just want to shout why not me!!!!!!!

Everyone around me is having a babies!

We should stick together through this one Keepingfaith...?

 

[keepingfaith]

sounds like a plan...

Most of my friends haven't had any issues getting pregnant....which drive me nuts...I feel like this is all I think about! My dr is going to try 2 more IUIs and if that doesn't work she is suggesting IVF. Hopefully I get pregnant with twins the first time and don't have to stress over any OPK's, BFN's, BBT's or anything anymore!

I have real problems with charting anything as I don't really have regular cycles, they have been a little more frequent since I had a lap and hyst in december but still no realy pattern. I can't stop thinking about it, it goes round my head all day everyday! Find it hard as hubby doesn't want to talk about it as much as I do - he is so much more laid back but I guess not much really happens to him!

He seems distant about it as he said he is not sure he could pick me up again if we had another m/c!

Chin up - it WILL happen just when is the question mark!

Hi girls! It's nice to meet you. I've now experienced both multiple m/c and waiting to get pregnant for ages and I am too the only one out of all my friends in this situation. It is very frustrating, it's been now just little over 3 years overall and I am not getting any younger.

Digs, in your case it sounds the doctor has put you on clomid to regulate your cycles. It helped lots of girls. Although I would imagine that after 3 m/c you'd be sent to a reproductive specialist when they do most extensive test like genetics etc.. But don't despair, in my 3 year journey I have met so many women who had even 4 or 6 and they went on to have a healthy baby, so the next one will most likely be the ONE!

Keepingfaith! All the best with your IUI! I really hope it'll work for you and IVF will never have to happen!! I am just as frustrated at this and I feel I had enough of it now! I'm off on holiday in 3weeks and I'm really hoping we'll forget about the whole TTC thing and just enjoy being with each other.

It's nice to talk to someone in a similar situation, someone who really understands.

I too have suffered three losses, and I am on Clomid. It apparently helps with low progesterone, because Clomid makes better eggs, and better corpus leteum = higher preogesterone = less chance of miscarriage. Unfortunately for me, I have a hard time getting pregnant in the first place, and keeping the pregnancy is only step two. I am thinking that IUI might be in our best interest and I see the specialist on the 7th. I had a lap/hysterscopy/D&C a couple months ago and they did find scarring, which they "returned to normal". You are not alone here though.

Bless you all, its such hard work isn't it! I always dreamed of my husband coming in and telling him I was pregnant but no he gets charts and pills and pot shoved under his nose every 5 mins instead! Still least they are supportive and want the same thing hay.

Hopeful4ababy we have done the same thing we are making the most out of spending time with each other, weekends away whenever we can so that we keep the romance!

JASMAK - we too had the lap/hys/d&c showing slight twists putting us at higher risk of eptopic and a large cyst which was removed and came back fine but nothing else! All bloods/hormones all came back normal.

Clomid will start on Friday wish me luck!

I am thinking baby filled thoughts for everyone and so glad to have found this site - was going out of my mind with all these babies!

 

[ummar]

I was also prescribed 3 cycles of Clomid despite ovulating on my own. I have a short luteal phase. Just finished one cycle of clomid and although it brought my ovulation forward to CD 14, luteal phase remains around 10 days. I am spotting and on test I did today.

Hopefully the next two will be more successful!

 

[digs]

Good luck ummar, I'm due to start taking clomid friday but have kinda been expecting the witch to arrive for the past 2 weeks, every sympton under the sun, I defo ovulated this month as I had clear sticky CF. I know I need to take a test before I take clomid what do ou reckon!?

I've had 3 m/c so I know I can catch maybe I am?? ahhhhh

Feel very emotional today - have cried twice in the office already!

 

[ummar]

Really hope it works for you digs!! What test do you have to take before taking clomid?

 

[digs]

I know I have to take a preg test before I start taking clomid anyway just wondering if I should do it tonight?

 

[keepingfaith]

1st IUI with clomid didn't work Feel like i'm never going to get a BFP!

 

[digs]

keepingfaith I feel your pain, I was totally convinced I would have but no another so clomid friday I guess!

to all those that need them today!

[keepingfaith]

Okay ladies..i'm so confused now. Got back from my bloodtest and it came up negative at 20dpiui. No sign of AF, but my dr wants me to redo the bloodwork on friday! How is it possible that after 20 days nothing would show up in my bloodwork! I personally think its the progesterone, but she seems to think that AF should have still come by now...

So now what? Anyone else experience this and actually get a BFP?

 

[Mahogany]

My sister just announced she is accidentally pregnant from a fling...Some guy she is not in a relationship with, they had some drinks and forgot about condoms...and OOOPS...a BFP for her.

Yes she is going to keep it....a really "knocked up" situation. I am so angry, I can't stand to be around her. I am not mad at her for her pregnancy, I am just so hurt that it is not me too.

This has caused me to sink into a serious depressed state...I cry frantically all day long....it hurts so bad....especially since me and my husband have been trying for 3 years now. No BFP at all.

 

[digs]

Mahogany - come on don't let it get to you - its really hard I know but you need to stay postivie and relaxed.

You and hubby need to plan a relaxed no baby pressured weekend away where you talk about everything and anything like you did before you started TTC. Give yourself a break.

Happy to chat if it will help you at all!
