Clomid Buddies - 18 BFPs!

[wookie130]

I was hoping it was IB but I woke this morning with more spotting and af symptoms. My last cycle I had spotting 3 days before AF and a LP of 13 days so it would make sense for AF to show her stupid face today. I called my RE and got my next prescription sent to my pharmacy... since it's Thursday I don't want to be left without it over the weekend to start on Day 3.

coming your way. How many medicated Clomid cycles have you had so far, TTCbean? I conceived right away on it on 50 mg my first cycle, then miscarried it immediately...and it took a few more cycles of 50 mg after I began to try again to become pregnant. It's so hard to be patient, I know.

Im starting clomid this cycle when the nurse calls me to let me know when. Planning an IUI next week as well. Praying for a bfp!!

 

[wookie130]

And we're praying with you, Clarkey!

Hey ladies can I join you again? I was on this board in the beginning of the year (my pic was of my boxer dog sleeping on our green leather couch). After 3 mos of 100mg Clomid we took a break. I got laid off in Feb but was very lucky to have found a new (and better) job very quickly. We met with a FS in May and have been waiting for my August cycle so we can start the IUI (had to wait because of my new job).

So here I am- I just ovulated and am waiting for AF in August to start the 100mg of Clomid. I will admit I didn't read through all the pages I had missed but I am looking forward to chatting with you all again

Welcome back!!! Hope things work fast for you!

AFM - I'm 5dpo today! This TWW feels like it is taking FOREVER!!! I had my HCG injection last Wednesday and it hurt like a dickens! I definitely O'd on Thursday (lots of cramps and pains on both sides ) I had one follie on my right (he called it my left) side and 2 on my left (he called it my right). Anyway - I don't know if I would call these symptoms or not since I'm only 5dpo but I have had lots of dull cramps and a few pains since I O'd. I usually don't have these so it's weird! I'm also been very tired and bloated. The biggest thing for me has been the increase in CM. I'm rarely "wet" down there, so that is definitely new! We did use preseed this time, even though DH said that I had been "wet" this whole cycle. We managed to BD on CD 6, 10, 12, 14, and 15. I praying that it worked! DH bought me a Mommy-to-be journal this weekend because he says he knows it's the month! We shall see! Only 9 more days to go before I'll be 14dpo. I know that I can't test until then since I had the HCG trigger shot! It takes roughly 10 days before it's out of your system, or at least that's what my RE said!

to all!!!!

 

[mrsjennyg]

Wow Chantel that sounds hopeful!! I didn't see- what dose of clomid were you on? Did you do injections besides the trigger shot? I asked my FS about the trigger shot and he said because it looks like I am ov'ing (because of the 17 charts I brought in- haha) that I wouldn't need it but I thought I read on here that some other women where getting it for something besides not ov? May e to force ov?

Hey! I took 100 mg CD 3-7. I had an U/S on CD 11 with an estrogen blood test and he calculated to do the HCG injection on CD 13. He told me I would O 24-36 hours after the injection. In May I was diagnosed with insulin resistancy and put on Metformin 1000mg. I actually started to O on my own but it was a weak O, I think that is why my RE decided to do the HCG injection. As of right now I'm not taking the other injections. I had three good follies on CD 11 that were 12, 12, and 14 mm. After he looked at my estrogen levels and ultrasound, he said he thought I would be O'ing soon and that my follies would be mature by the time the HCG injection made me O. I really like my RE and I think that he is really trying to get us a baby or babies! If all three follies O'd then I have a chance of tripletts but I'm not really counting on it. But at this point I think I would be okay with it!!!! I'm just hoping for one, anything more would be a major blessing! If I have tripletts though, I think I will be done with the baby making! If we had twins I think I would shoot for one more! Whatever God wants us to have, I will gladly take!!!!

Maybe if it doesn't work this time around, your dr will reconsider the HCG injection. It helps mature your follies for a good release. That's all I know!

 

[mrsjennyg]

Wow Chantel thanks for the info! I was a little nervous about multiples at first too. Both DH and I have twins in our family (my maternal grandmother had twin sisters and his paternal grandfather had twin brothers) so chances are good that it would happen are there anyway... But not sure how/if the fact that i only have one tube impacts it?? Anyway- not sure how we would figure it out with childcare but I guess you just figure it out! I love your attitude- yes at this point we are hoping for a healthy baby (babies)- what ever God blesses us with.

 

[Clarkeyness]

Starting clomid tonight for the first time!!

 

[mrsjennyg]

Good luck Clark! What dose are you taking?

 

[Clarkeyness]

thanks! im starting 50mg as i do ovulate just not sure if my eggs are strong. We will see. Then IUI next week! I see your having an IUI as well. lets be clomid buddies..hehehe!

 

[mrsjennyg]

Def Clark!! Is this your first clomid cycle? Sorry I'm on my iPhone and I can't see if you have it in your sig. My doc has had me on 100mg of Clomid the entire time. I don't know if it's because of my one tube or what. My friend/coworker just left an hour ago for her first IUI! She was on 50mg of clomid- at first they said it was her husbands sperm but then when they went to the specialist they said his count was fine so it's unexplained...

AFM just in this horrid TWW and then will start the clomid most likely in the beginning of August. If FF is accurate I will more then likely have the IUI a few days before our vacation. I am thinking about just not temping while we are away and just relaxing... But I have been temping for 18 mos so not sure if I can stop! Lol

Yes this is my first cycle on clomid. Started last night. no side effects so far. My hubby sperm is good as well, so mine is unexplained as well. I totally hate the TWW. it drives me crazy. i would also try to relax on your vacation, just dont bring the thermometer with u so u cant temp I would probably still temp too Let me know how ur doing and i will keep u updated as well.

 

[IluvRedskins]

MrsJennyG! I'm with you! This TWW sucks! I just want to know already!!!! Did it work or not???
