Yes Ellie, mine checks my progesterone levels to verify if I have ovulated or not.

Well I had my blood drawn yesterday so now just waiting to hear. Not sure how long it'll take to get the results back. I'm thinking I've Oed by looking at my bbt but I'm not for sure still trying to figure out the charting.

 

[Ellie Bean]

How do I post a copy of my chart?

I had my doc appt today. She gave me another 6 months of Clomid (I had 2 previously), wants me to schedule a HSG and have my fiance have a semen analysis done. Clomid is cheap- now starts the expensive stuff.

AF should be arriving today so I won't have to wait long before I start the Clomid.

Yay for Dec let's hope we all get bfps this month! I go tomorrow for my cd19 blood draw. Has anyone had this checked? If so what are they checking for?

I had two done. They did mine at 7dpo, because everyone ovulates on a different day, so they didn't want to miss it or have it done to early. They were checking to see if my progesterone was high enough. Prior to Clomid, I did not have adequate progesterone. On Clomid, mine is pretty good!

When we've gotten the bill for my husbands S.A. it's only been $25. So I think it just depends on insurance. I'm hoping that if my progesterone wasn't adequate thwn they'll give me more clomid or try femara. If it is ok then maybe they can help us figure out why we're not getting pregnant.

Well seen the specialist and my feelings are really hurt. Dos a sonogram and he saw that I have PCOS and I may have to get a laproscopy surgery he thinks I have endometriosis. You guys I'm confused on if I should do the surgery. He said it could benefit me. He says even though the hsg shows my tubes are opened I could have damage inside my tubes. So the only way to find out is to have the surgery which would be next month. He says my bcbs has a 1500 deductible and ice only met $200 this year. So does that mean I am responsible for a payment up to $1500? Idk what else to do. I've bought herbs for this cycle to see what's going on. He kept pushing ivf but I don't have the finances for that. .. The surgery I could do if it's no more than 1000 or of pocket. He said after the surgery he would bump new up to 5 mg of femara and include injectables along with it that way I could produce more than one egg and release more than one egg to make my chances higher. So, I will know how much our will cost me Monday and let them know whether to schedule me or not. What should I do? It will be out of patient surgery so I'll get to go home the very same day. .. I came afford ivf.... Why me????

Sorry to hear that Barbie! When my sonogram was done the doc said it have PCOS based on the ring of pearls we saw, but the blood work didn't show I had it, so she said I could have it or not. She didn't mention anything about that surgery so I'm wondering why the difference. I'm kinda worried myself now. Anyway, praying everything works itself out.

 

[Ellie Bean]

They're talking surgery bc she showed some endometriosis not bc she has pcos. I think it's definitely something to look into further and be sure about the endometriosis diagnosis before scheduling. My good friend has it and she's already had the surgery once but they weren't trying to get pregnant at that time so i think she's going to have it done again next year after they've been trying for a while. I'm not sure if this helped or not but I know having the surgery if you have endometriosis can greatly increase you're chance of a natural bfp.

Also after insurance my hsg was $560.

The HSG is supposed to be $350-$400 without insurance. It's "do-able" but not until after the holidays for sure. I am really hoping my fiance's insurance will cover at least some of the semen analysis.

AF has not shown up in full force yet. Still spotting, but now it's TMI ALERT: red streaked stretchy clear CM. Hoping she shows tomorrow, but this has been my longest non-medicated cycle!

 

[Blackbarbie04]

I only had to pay 35 for my hsg which was my Co pay.

Ms. Bee he said my pcos shouldn't affect me bc the cyst are not that big. But in order to see if I have endo they have to go in and see and if I do they can do the surgery then at that same time. Me and my husband talked about it but he said it was up to me and he would take me. After I hear the price tomorrow I will decide

 

[Blackbarbie04]

I mean Monday

 

[MsBee21niya]

Ok Barbie!
Afm...I'm cd5 and on 200mg of clomid. Since the pills I've been having headaches, has anyone else had this symptom? This my 4th clomid cycle out of 7mths and I've never had headaches or atleast notice them.

I always had bad side effects on clomid ms. Bee. Highest I ever went to was 250. Tomorrow is the day I find out. too anxious!!!

 

[MsBee21niya]

Good luck Barbie! Happy I have one more day left to take, I don't like the way it makes me feel. Also I didn't know you can go pass 200mg I hope this works cause I can't take a higher dose

I hate that when I get ready to ovulate I can't hardly walk when taking clomid. I hope your symptoms are better than mine. ..

 

[MsBee21niya]

I've never had that problem Barbie! But this clomid cycle just has me feeling so off and these headaches....I just prayyyyyy this is it!
