Clomid Buddies (moved from TTC board)

Congratulations to bfps :))


I am very inactive these days, am back in France and taking care of my 4 yo nephew, who is a real pain to be honest. His mother doesn't give a rat's behind about him and my brother in law treats him like a little king, unfortunately it makes him a little brat :/ we thought my brother in law would get custody but two weeks ago his mom changed her mind and she managed to set up a trial in less than 10 days and she got custody.. We were hoping he would get it and we could help him raise his kid, but no.. The poor child :( his mom puts him to bed at 11pm, then she leaves her eldest daughter (11yo) babysit so she can go out clubbing with her new boyfriend. Crazy world.

Today I'm cd8 and I did the bloodtest prescribed by my Dr - fsh, lh + 2 others, I can't read what's on the prescription so I guess I'll only know when the results are back tomorrow.. Friday I have ultrasound and hubby has to do his swimmers analysis..
 
Good to hear from you Nore! Glad things are moving along for you! Sometimes I think people should have to pass a test to procreate...it's so unfair!

6dpo and lots of crampiness today. Of course I'm hoping it means something but most likely it doesn't. I thought I was over symptom spotting! Can't help but hope!
 
Ok, results arrived:

For cd8:

1- Plasmatic Oestradiol : 67 pg/ml
2 - Plasmatic L.H: 6,88 mUI/mL
3 - Plasmatic FSH: 6,1 mUI/ml
4 - Plasmatic progesterone: 0,10 ng/ml

euh.. let the research begin, I guess?

Hubby is still away, he has been in Germany since my return in France.. his mom is getting into monster mode again, I just can't handle it.. She does not see any mistakes made by herself, and she is against anyone who might say f.ex that vacations are ok, living in a city is ok etc.. I get sooo annoyed, she is the most closed minded person I think I ever met...!
 
Hey Nore, I don't know too much about hormone levels for CD 8. Is there a reason why they didn't do CD 3? Thats usually what is done. I was going to say that your LH looks elevated, but for day 8 that might be normal.

Sorry the MIL is getting so difficult to deal with again. Anyway you guys could move into your own place sometime soonish?

AFM, I'm still on a break from ttc. I haven't seen any ewcm yet, but the spotting has at least stopped. Hopefully I'll ovulate like normal this cycle. I don't recall if I said here, but I had my interview on Friday and now I'm just waiting for a callback (if I get it). They finished interviews on Monday, so I wouldn't be surprised if they selected a candidate yesterday. In that case reference checks could be done today. They were wanting to make a decision and get back to us this week. I'm pretty nervous about it. I do really want this job as it sounds like things are falling apart at my work. People are getting fired, or quitting, and literally being escorted to the door, and these are people who are in high up leadership positions in the organization. Its a scary time. Makes you think (am I next...)

Yeah, I was also puzzled by the cd8 bloodwork, but that's what he wanted (the gynecologist). all the numbers seemed to be within the norm for follicular phase, but other than that I'm struggling to find info on what's expected on cd8 compared to cd3.. On Friday I will do an ultrasound so maybe that will shed some light on all of this.

Yes, hopefully we will get our own place soon, but there are not that many flats (within our budget) available.. We are mostly looking around versailles.. It also doesn't help that hubby is on probation.. We will see, he'll be back soon ...


Fingers crossed you'll get the job, it's probably worth the stability and future benefits if you get it :)
 
Hey ladies - hoping you hear good news about the job offer Belle! Sounds like it might be a good time to make a change! Same thing was happening at DH's previous job before he got fired. Granted he was in a senior management position so his head was on the chopping block. But a bunch of people have quit since he got fired. It's never a good sign!

So one of my good friends got engaged on Monday and had a little get together to celebrate. She wanted all the girls to do a shot with her so I did and I had a few drinks after that. I ended up getting violently ill! I will spare you the details but was still sick as a dog all day yesterday and still feel queasy today. What the heck?! Of course you know what I'm secretly hoping although if I end up with a bfp I'll feel horrible for drinking...then again most docs say not to worry as long as you stop as soon as you get your bfp. Wishful thinking...
 
Ok I just searched under my sink and to my surprise found a 2 pack of FRERs. I see a vvf line. I'm only 8dpo. Oh god...I'm terrified. I see my doctor tomorrow for the IVF consult so I'll ask for a blood test. The line is very faint. Could be a fluke.
 
Ask can you post it? Or do you think it won't show up on a screen?
 
I posted it in the pregnancy test forum! Can you look? I had to tweak it a bit to show up.
 
Thanks Belle! Can't really even say I'm cautiously optimistic but of course still hopeful.
 
Ask, on my phone I definitely think I see a line. However I'm definitely far from an expert in this department and have never had any positives of my own so would hate to give false hope if I'm just seeing things. Hopefully someone else on that thread will comment soon.
 
Ask, I have to admit - I only use this thread.. could you send me a link to where you posted the picture and I will have a look too. Fingers crossed really hard for you !!
 
Here ya go: https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/p...po-vvf-line-frer-starting-ivf-next-month.html

Thanks for looking!
 
I definitely see something there Ask. Good luck! I hope this is it!
 
Thanks for taking a look! Good to know I'm not seeing things. We shall see...
 
I'll update in the morning. Some of the ladies on the other thread think it could be an indent that the curved handled FRERs are apparently notorious for. It definitely has color though...can see it clearly now that it's dry. Hoping it wasn't a bad test!
 
Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around I have been massively struggling with the symptoms of clomid (so bean - yes I'm on it too! First month!). I'm 100% sure I ovulated, blood test tomorrow to confirm. I put on 7lbs over night (now gone luckily!) and was having hot flashes, headaches, nausea, it was awful!! I hope it's worth it. I've been so tired I've done nothing but work and sleep!
Fluffy - massive congratulations - please stick around it's the hope I get from people like you that keeps me going!
Bella - did you make a decision about your job?
Ask - I commented on your thread but I absolutely see the line!
Earth - I hope you don't mind me asking and this isn't insensitive - do you know why you can't try anything other than clomid?
